A night of high drama and tension ended with Southampton all but securing their Premier League status for another season, Swansea staring relegation in the face and West Bromwich Albion joining Stoke City in the Championship.

Manolo Gabbiadini was the player who delivered the killer blow for Mark Hughes’s team, the Italian coming off the bench to score a scrappy and untidy goal that was worth its weight in gold to Saints.

Hello. Welcome to a match that is sure to be tense and will likely produce heroes and/or villains. The ramifications of a negative result for Swansea or Southampton are grave, even if the only team that could be definitively relegated after this match are West Brom, who will be doomed unless it ends in a draw. Southampton are probably in the most pressing need of a win even though they go into the game a place above Swansea thanks to their superior goal difference: because if Mark Hughes side fail to win here, then they will probably have to do so on the final day of the season – against Manchester City, no less. Swansea, meanwhile, may be satisfied with a draw here on the grounds that they can be confident of winning their last match of the campaign, which is against Hughes’ old boys, the already relegated Stoke. Then again, can Swansea take victory for granted against anyone? No, they cannot, because Carlos Carvalhal’s healing powers seem to be dwindling and Swansea have won none of their last seven matches, scoring just two goals in the process.

As for Huddersfield, the other team still at risk of relegation, what outcome here do you think best suits them? David Wagner’s side are three points clear of both Swansea and Southampton but with an inferior goal difference to both so could be overtaken if they fail to garner a point from their last two games, which are against Chelsea and Arsenal.

• Two white players from 1980s youth setup back racism allegations
• Chelsea say they are taking claims seriously and offering support
• Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix deny wrongdoing

Chelsea are facing more allegations about a racism scandal involving Gwyn Williams and Graham Rix after the former youth-team footballers who claim they were subjected to horrific abuse received public backing from two of the white players who were on the club’s books.

Grant Lunn and Gary Baker, who both played in Chelsea’s youth setup in the early 1980s, said they had decided to come forward to speak about Williams after reading the statement the club’s former youth-team coach released to the Guardian in March to “deny all and any allegations of racial or other abuse”.

The Professional Cricketers’ Association has warned The Hundred will not go ahead without the players on board as concerns over its quirky new format, the move away from Twenty20 and the impact on women’s cricket continue to rumble on.

Representatives from the players’ union met with the England and Wales Cricket Board at Edgbaston on Tuesday to discuss the new quickfire 100-ball format that will start in 2020 and see two-and-a-half hour matches played by eight new city teams at the height of summer.
