Chelsea are in talks with Mauricio Pochettino to take over as manager at the end of the season, the PA news agency understands. A deal has yet to be signed but Pochettino is closing in on his first role since leaving Paris St Germain in July, succeeding interim head coach Frank Lampard. Chelsea have three Premier League fixtures remaining – against Manchester City, Manchester United and Newcastle – and want their new boss in place once the campaign is over. The Blues have endured a disappointing season and sit in 11th place having managed just 11 wins in 35 league games. Graham Potter was sacked in April and while Julian Nagelsmann was the initial favourite to replace him, Chelsea turned to Lampard to see out the rest of the season in his second spell as manager. Potter was jettisoned just seven months into a five-year contract but the club has also struggled under Lampard, who at one stage oversaw a six-game losing run in all competitions. Former Argentina international Pochettino enjoyed a popular five-year spell as Tottenham manager, guiding Spurs to the Champions League final in 2019. If – as expected – he is appointed by Chelsea, the 51-year-old will inherit an expensively assembled but under-performing squad who will not be competing in Europe next season.

Follow live coverage as Brentford face West Ham United in the Premier League today. Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side. Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020. It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too. It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop. We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Title chasers Manchester City take on Everton in an encounter with ramifications at both ends of the Premier League table. Pep Guardiola’s side are now favourites to secure a third consecutive crown with four games left in their Premier League campaign. Everton, meanwhile, produced their finest performance of the season to thrash Brighton on Monday and boost their survival hopes. One more win could be enough to keep Sean Dyche’s side up with Wolves and Bournemouth their final opponents of the season. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Everton vs Manchester City? Everton vs Manchester City is due to kick off at 2pm BST on Sunday 14 May at Goodison Park. How can I watch it? Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the game live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 1pm BST. Subscibers can stream the action via the Sky Go app. Team news After such a strong performance against Brighton, Sean Dyche may opt to name an unchanged Everton side. Seamus Coleman and Ben Godfrey are absent due to injury - the Ireland right back is out of contract this summer but has undergone surgery and should be fit for the start of next season. With Manchester City still chasing three trophies, Pep Guardiola is having to manage his squad carefully and is likely to again rotate after the midweek draw with Real Madrid. Nathan Ake missed that Champions League semi-final first leg encounter due to injury, but his manager said the defender was doing “much better” and would be further assessed after training on Friday ahead of this game. Predicted line-ups Everton XI: Pickford; Patterson, Mina, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Iwobi, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin. Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji; Lewis, Phillips; Mahrez, Alvarez, Gundogan, Foden; Haaland.

The Leeds fan who confronted Newcastle manager Eddie Howe late in Saturday’s 2-2 Premier League draw has been charged with assault by West Yorkshire Police. Leeds have banned the supporter for life after he climbed out of the stands at Elland Road and entered the technical area where the altercation with Howe took place, before he was quickly led away. West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that the man has been charged with assault and will appear before magistrates in July. A statement from the force read: “Police have charged a man with assault and entering the field of play following an incident at Elland Road football stadium during the Leeds United versus Newcastle United football match yesterday. “The man has been bailed to appear before magistrates on 21 July.” While Howe said he was unhurt during the incident, he views it as a wake-up call for the game. “I actually can’t remember whether he pushed me or not, I’ve got no idea. It’s such a strange thing because you’re concentrating on the game and you don’t expect it to happen,” Howe said. “He confronted me, said something that I can’t repeat and was then led away. I’m OK. “I don’t know if I had time to be fearful because it was over in a flash but it certainly makes you think ‘what if?’. “No one should have to face that, playing a sport we love and trying to entertain the country, no one should feel like their own personal safety is violated. It is something for us to reflect on.”

Pep Guardiola has no fears about complacency heading into Manchester City’s crucial clash at Everton. The Premier League leaders head to Goodison Park on Sunday for a match of significance at both ends of the table. City need points to hold off the challenge of title rivals Arsenal while the relegation-threatened Toffees are anxious to pull away from trouble. Yet for City the game is complicated by its placement between both legs of their finely-poised Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. Guardiola’s side fought out a 1-1 draw in a draining encounter at the Bernabeu Stadium on Tuesday and it would be easy for players to look beyond Everton to Wednesday’s return against the Spanish giants. But City manager Guardiola said: “The players are humble enough and respect the opponents. They know exactly how difficult it is at Everton. They know what they are playing for. “I don’t know what is going to happen but I am pretty convinced they will have incredible focus at Goodison Park. “The Premier League is such an important title. I know the Champions League is so special but this is many months, many tough games. You have to train incredibly good and we know what a Sean Dyche team means.” By playing on Sunday, City will only have two clear days prior to the Champions League game while Real, who were in action on Saturday, have three. Guardiola has admitted he would have preferred to play on Saturday but insists it is not a problem. He said: “It’s not complaining at all, not even about the schedule. It is a privilege. “I think the excitement to try to do it again, to try to win the titles at the end, gives you an incredible energy when you are a little tired. “The tension and pressure are there. I feel it, we feel it. It’s normal, but we have three days. It is enough time to prepare for Real Madrid. We are used to it. “It is not the first time we’ve had incredible games. We play the second leg at home and Everton is only one hour away by bus. “It is not as demanding as playing Champions League away then in the south of England three days later. Come on, we are privileged. The club takes care of us perfectly and we have to be ready to do it.” Read More Is Everton vs Manchester City on TV?
