FOOTBALL: Derby, QPR and Wigan are in the play-offs and will be joined by Reading if they beat Burnley today. 

Defeat or a draw for the Royals would allow Brighton to move above them if the Seagulls win, while a defeat for Reading could also open the door for Blackburn to climb above them, although they would need to win with a goal difference swing of seven in their favour. 

Leicester are champions and Burnley are promoted.

FOOTBALL: Arsenal will be assured of fourth place and Champions League football by beating West Brom tomorrow or by matching Everton’s result against Manchester City.

Cardiff will be relegated if they fail to beat Newcastle and both Norwich (v Chelsea) and Sunderland (v Manchester United) win. Fulham will also go down if they lose at Stoke and Norwich and Sunderland pick up maximum points. 

RUGBY: Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill is urging his side to bounce back from their Harlequins loss by beating Sale today and sealing a spot in the Premiership play-offs.

A bonus-point victory will confirm Tigers’ place in the semi-finals while a win of any kind would be enough if fifth-placed Quins fail to beat Exeter Chiefs tomorow.

“We have still got a semi-final spot to aim for and we were a bit disappointed with how we played at Quins in the last round,” said Cockerill.

CRICKET: England duo Tim Bresnan and Jonny Bairstow are set to make their Yorkshire comebacks after being named in the squad for tomorrow’s County Championship match against Durham.

The pair replace two fellow internationals, with Gary Ballance and Joe Root both dropping out having been selected for England’s training camp and one-day international against Scotland next week.
