Arsenal’s push for the Premier League title continues as they host Bournemouth at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners have seven league games left to play and are currently nine points clear of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.

There are three more games in the top flight on Saturday, with struggling Liverpool looking to turn around their form when they take on Fulham this evening.

The Grand National Festival continues at Aintree, with the National taking place at 4pm.

In the Championship, Coventry City end their 25-year wait and earn promotion to the Premier League if they beat Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough do not win against Portsmouth.

Elsewhere, day two of the second round of the County Championship takes place, while the Women’s Six Nations begins with England hosting Ireland.
