  1. Thanks for joining uspublished at 13:50 BST 12 May

    That's all from us today.

    If you've just joined, allow me to fill you in what we've covered on today's live.

    We began with reaction to Spurs' draw with Leeds which put them two points clear of the relegation zone.

    Some said it was an "opportunity missed" and wished that Tottenham could have put more "daylight" between themselves and chasing West Ham.

    But there were plenty of Spurs fans refusing to give up hope and seeing the tie as "a huge point", as well.

    Meanwhile, the Opta supercomputer has West Ham's probability of relegation at 80.46%.

    Next, we asked the Chelsea fans whether relegating Spurs or winning the FA Cup meant more, and THEY were pretty consistent with their calls for silverware.

    Finally, we heard from Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola - who was not feeling overly talkative - before his side take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday. Here are the highlights from his brief news conference appearance:

    If you want to find out what his opposite number Oliver Glasner has to say before the managers go head to head at the Etihad, you can catch up with the Palace manager's news conference quotes on our dedicated Crystal Palace page.

    Thanks for tuning in. See you next time!

    I think it will go to the last game and who wins the PL will depend on how Arsenal will cope with playing against Crystal Palace. CP will be playing their last PL game with their current manager so they will go all out to win.

    Anyone who thinks Palace could cause a slip up in the title race have forgotten they have a European final and will in no was risk their best players getting injured. They won't get relegated and can't finish in the European places, the league means nothing.

  4. Home advantage?published at 13:34 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    Since losing 2-0 against Spurs in their opening home league game this season, City are unbeaten in their past 16 at the Etihad (W13 D3). They've also opened the scoring in all 16 of these games.

    Meanwhile, only Arsenal (10) and City (nine) have won more Premier League away games this season than Crystal Palace (seven) - and no side has fewer draws on the road than the Eagles (two).

  5. What's next in the title race?published at 13:29 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    So, we know Man City face Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

    But what does the run-in look like for the two title rivals - Arsenal and City - in the final weeks of the season.

    After Wednesday's meeting with the Conference League finalists, City turn their attention to cup duty, with the small matter of an FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.

    Pep Guardiola's side then make a quick return to Premier League action, visiting Bournemouth on 19 May, before finishing the campaign at home to Aston Villa five days later.

    It is the same final day fixture City faced in the 2021-22 season, when they pipped Liverpool to the title in dramatic fashion.

    Arsenal, meanwhile, are next in action on 18 May, when they welcome Burnley to the Emirates.

    Should City slip up against Palace on Wednesday, the Gunners could secure a first Premier League title in 22 years with victory over the already‑relegated Clarets.

    If not, the title race may go all the way to the final day, with Mikel Arteta’s side making the short trip to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace.

  6. Recap: What has Guardiola saidpublished at 13:27 BST 12 May

    That is all from Man City boss, Pep Guardiola. Here is a recap of the top lines from his news conference:

    It was one of those pre-match news conferences with Pep Guardiola today, where he wasn't really engaging with the questions thrown at him from the assembled press.

    I attempted to push him on West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo's quotes from Sunday saying the "rules have changed" around what happens in the box and "everybody feels confused".

    Guardiola straight-batted the answer to that by replied he is "not the right person to ask" about that.

    Regarding how football can regain its authenticity following the implementation of the video assistant referee (VAR), Guardiola said "VAR was not installed last weekend".

    Onto Palace on Wednesday night then to see if Manchester City can claw back the deficit on Premier League leaders Arsenal once more.

    Let’s hear from BBC Sport’s Manchester City reporter Shamoon Hafez, who was at the City Football Academy earlier and was met with a straight bat from Pep Guardiola when probing the City boss on Arsenal’s controversial winner against West Ham on Sunday.

  9. Could Haaland be the difference on Wednesday?published at 13:19 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    Erling Haaland has scored in all five of his Premier League games against Crystal Palace, netting eight goals in total.

    The only players to score in their first six games against an opponent in the competition are Raheem Sterling and Mohamed Salah (both versus Bournemouth).

  10. Is Doku a 'future Ballon d'Or contender'?published at 13:16 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    Speaking of Jeremy Doku, City fan Freddie Pye told BBC Sport earlier this week that the forward could "possibly" be a "future Ballon d'Or contender".

    "Doku is no longer just hugging the touchline and finding his overlapping full-back or central midfielders, he is taking it upon himself to invade the penalty area and, crucially, find the back of the net, with some much-needed selfishness," said Pye.

    "It was his comments following the 3-0 win over Brentford that were perhaps the most exciting and fascinating as he explicitly cited Raheem Sterling as his blueprint.

    "If Doku can marry his street footballer-like unpredictability with Sterling's unstoppable intelligence around moving towards the back post at precisely the right time, we won't just be looking at a great winger, we will possibly be looking at a future Ballon d'Or contender.

    "Seeing Doku thrive under the pressure of a title run-in suggests he is ready to make that leap into a decisive, match-winning forward.

    "Currently providing the spark to keep City alive in the top-flight title race in May, the rest of Europe should be very afraid of the player Etihad Stadium has at its disposal."

  11. City's man of the momentpublished at 13:13 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    If Manchester City go on to win the Premier League this season, Jeremy Doku's contributions will be remembered as decisive.

    The 23-year-old has been in inspired form and is enjoying his most productive campaign since joining City from Rennes in 2023.

    The Belgium forward has peaked at the perfect moment, and with three goals in his last three Premier League matches, he is almost single‑handedly keeping Pep Guardiola’s side in the title race.

    Since March, Doku has been involved in seven goals in all competitions (five goals, two assists) - matching the total from his previous 24 appearances.

    Can Doku deliver the goods once more on Wednesday night?

    There's something about Palace players probably being bellowed on to a victory on the final day, and the outright tenacity of City, that makes me think there's a sting in the tail just yet.

  13. Could Crystal Palace decide the title?published at 13:08 BST 12 May

    Man City v Crystal Palace (Wednesday, 20:00 BST)

    It's certainly looking like that as we approach the final weeks of the Premier League season.

    As there is only five points separating Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the table - and with the latter having a game in hand - it is likely that the title will go down to the final day, when Manchester City face Aston Villa and Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace.

    It means because of the way the scheduling has fallen, Oliver Glanser's side face both Manchester City and Arsenal in the final three games of the season.

    The Premier League script writers just keep on delivering this season.

    As promised, it was short and sweet from Pep Guardiola at the City Football Academy a short while ago.

    He must be keen to step away from the press room and continue preparations for tomorrow night’s mammoth clash at the Etihad, right?

    With that in mind, let’s have a quick snap poll.

    Who will win the Premier League title? Thumbs up for Arsenal, thumbs down for Manchester City.

    Man City boss Pep Guardiola on how he will rotate his side, with the FA Cup final in the weekend: "It is not a problem for that game, we arrive with four days and a half. But of course, after three days we travel to London, come back and then Bournemouth and of course in the last few days I have to think about it."

    Man City boss Pep Guardiola on Crystal Palace facing Arsenal before their European final: "They're so professional, the team. Crystal Palace will play top against us. We saw Leeds yesterday against Spurs, even being out of the relegation battle so they are in the Premier League again - how they compete. We played Aston Villa here in the past, nothing to play for and how difficult it was. I am sure they will do their best, knowing that they have the final [in] three days."

    On how it affected his mood: "Crystal Palace [his focus] and thinking what I have to do, to always learn from my career as a manager, what you control, to do better, what you've not done better this season, to arrive in a better position. We are still fighting."
