1. MAN CITY REACH FA CUP FINAL — DOKU AND NICO GONZALEZ RESCUE THEM
Manchester City are in the FA Cup final for a record fourth consecutive season after coming from behind to beat Southampton 2-1 at Wembley on Saturday. Championship side Southampton looked set for one of the great FA Cup upsets when Finn Azaz curled them in front in the 79th minute. City replied in the 82nd through Doku's deflected effort, then Nico Gonzalez settled it in the 87th minute with a rasping 30-yard strike into the top corner — the longest-range City goal of the season. City face either Chelsea or Leeds in the final on May 16. Guardiola's side are the first team ever to reach the FA Cup final in four successive seasons.
2. ARTETA: HAVERTZ AND EZE SHOULD BE FINE FOR ATLETICO
Arsenal got positive news on Saturday evening from Mikel Arteta. Both Kai Havertz and Eberechi Eze — who went off during the 1-0 Newcastle win — are expected to be available for Wednesday's UCL semi-final first leg at Atletico Madrid. Arteta said: "There are muscular niggles. We don't think it's too much. We have to wait and see if they're going to be available for Wednesday." Eze himself said his substitution was mostly precautionary: "Yeah, I'm alright." Havertz's situation looked more concerning — he went straight down the tunnel — but the initial prognosis is not serious. Both players are being assessed ahead of the trip to Madrid.
3. CHELSEA VS LEEDS — FA CUP SEMI-FINAL LIVE RIGHT NOW AT WEMBLEY
The second FA Cup semi-final is underway at Wembley as Chelsea take on Championship side Leeds United (kick-off 3pm UK, 2pm Ghana). Chelsea are leading. Leeds have had their moments — Brenden Aaronson drove into the box and forced a save from Robert Sanchez. Chelsea's Joao Pedro went close at the near post. Alejandro Garnacho is active on the left. The winner faces Manchester City in the final on May 16.
4. ARSENAL THREE POINTS CLEAR — TITLE RACE UPDATE
Arsenal sit three points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League after Saturday's results. Arsenal 73pts (34 played), City 70pts (34 played). City have a game in hand — Crystal Palace away, yet to be scheduled. Arsenal's remaining fixtures: Fulham (H), West Ham (A), Burnley (H), Crystal Palace (A). City's run-in: Everton (A), Bournemouth (A), Aston Villa (H) plus the Crystal Palace game in hand. Arsenal also face Atletico in the UCL semi — two legs in the next 13 days. City are fully focused on the league and FA Cup.
5. BARCELONA 11 POINTS CLEAR — TITLE ALMOST CONFIRMED
Barcelona beat Getafe 2-0 on Saturday to go 11 points clear of Real Madrid with five games remaining. Fermin Lopez scored just before half-time after a brilliant Cubarsí ball recovery and Pedri through ball. Rashford came off the bench to seal it in the 75th minute after Cubarsí's goalline block — the moment that defined the game. Barcelona could be confirmed champions as early as May 3 if Madrid drop points at Espanyol. The El Clasico on May 10 at Camp Nou could be the coronation.
