Before we run through the Premier League team news, I'll nudge you in the direction of Everton v Arsenal. Simon Burnton has the updates, with the Toffees having just levelled from the penalty spot. Everton v Arsenal: Premier League – live Share
The skies are clear, the temperature is up and … sadly there's not much to play for at the denouement of a strange Premier League season. BUT – and it's a big but – there are some 3pm kickoffs with at least a morsel of juicy narrative to gnaw on. There's the bragging rights of the A23 derby to be won at Selhurst Park, while if Ipswich beat Wolves at Portman Road we might, just might, have a relegation scrap on our hands. There's West Ham v Bournemouth too, if mid-table slugfests are your thing.
The Championship, as ever, may offer us the most significant storylines. The next staging post on Sheffield United's quest for automatic promotion is Oxford United, while the likes of Cardiff, Derby and Hull look to stave off that most dangerous of relegations – the one to League One. The third and fourth tiers are brimming with action too, of course, not forgetting the Scottish Premiership and the Bundeliga, while Real Madrid host Valencia from 3.15pm.
Let's get this one under way. Grab yourself an ice lolly and enjoy. Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend Share Explore more on these topics

Jack Grealish handed fresh Premier League escape route amid brutal Man City snub
Manchester City star Jack Grealish is set to depart the Etihad Stadium this summer after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola and Premier League sides are interested Everton are monitoring Jack Grealish's situation at Manchester City as the midfielder prepares to exit the Etihad Stadium, according to reports. The Toffees are interested in bringing Grealish to Merseyside, though no talks have taken place over a move thus far. The 29-year-old England international is set to be left out of the City Club World squad to travel to the United States. Grealish has won the Premier League three times with City but has seen his influence wane over the last two seasons. The former Aston Villa talisman started just seven times in the Premier League in 24/25 and was an unused substitute 12 times in the competition. The club are said to be willing to accept an offer of £40million for their record signing, taking a £60m hit. However, Grealish's salary could prove problematic to any deal. The star's £300,000-a-week pay packet will pose issues for any side interested in securing his signature and requiring to comply with profit and sustainability rules. Any potential move looks more likely to be a loan deal if Everton are to get a shock deal over the line. Newcastle have also been linked with making a move, while Bayern Munich have been touted with a potential deal if Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman depart. Grealish has been told by England boss Thomas Tuchel that he must earn time on the pitch if he hopes to make the World Cup squad in 12 months time. The German coach said: 'I love Jack for his personality and of course his talent. He is a very unique player who can handle big pressure on the field. "He is never shy of pressure. It's the opposite. He grows in big matches but he's a player who needs minutes and minutes and minutes and simply does not get them for a very long time. That's basically everything. Nothing has changed. "I have maybe the same information as you that City are thinking of not taking him to the Club World Cup. So he needs to make himself available by playing. I think it's one of his key strengths. "To go every three days and get better and better with every minute that he has in his legs. That's what is missing, nothing else. I have spoken to him after the first international camp and very shortly after the FA Cup final but not since then.' Pep Guardiola agrees with the England boss' assessment. He said: 'Of course, Jack has to play. He's an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days. It didn't happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it, with us or another place. 'It's a question for Jack, his agent and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he will fight like he fought from day one to make a contribution, but not today.' Guardiola added: 'It's nothing personal with Jack. I'm the person who fought for him to come here and the person who fought for him to stay here this season."

Trailblazer Uriah Rennie remembered as a ‘special person' and ‘true gentleman'
The trailblazing official was born in Jamaica before moving to Sheffield aged six with his family and went on to oversee more than 300 games between 1997 and 2008, including 175 in the English top flight. Once labelled the 'fittest' match official in world football, Rennie recently revealed he was learning to walk again after a rare neurological condition left him paralysed from the waist down. His death was announced on Sunday and Chris Foy, a fellow former Premier League referee, paid an emotional tribute to his ex-colleague in an interview with talkSPORT on Monday morning. 'He was a gentleman, a gentle giant,' Foy said. 'He was a friend to me, a mentor to me, he was just a special person who put everybody first before himself. 'He was a real presence on the field and he was a real presence off the field, a true gentleman. He had a great personality. It was the things off the field that made him special. The Premier League is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Uriah Rennie. As the first black referee in the Premier League, Uriah was a pioneering trailblazer whose legacy will live on, continuing to inspire future generations. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. — Premier League (@premierleague) June 9, 2025 'I remember one Christmas time, we were at training camp and he had organised for us to go into a special education needs school in Daventry. We spent some time with the children in that school. 'That was the mark of the man, off the field he was just special, he was a great communicator and a real people person.' Rennie started refereeing locally in 1979 before making history in 1997 when taking charge of his first Premier League match between Derby and Wimbledon. Vinnie Jones was among those booked. Rennie became a FIFA-listed referee in 2000 and joined the select group of professionals one year later before retiring in 2008. 'If it was difficult for him, he never showed it because he was always grounded. He loved refereeing,' Foy said. In November 2023 martial arts expert Rennie was awarded an honorary doctorate by Sheffield Hallam University for his distinguished contributions to sport and his work with South Yorkshire communities. Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of referee Uriah Rennie. A pioneer, trailblazer and a bloody good ref. Rest in peace, Ref. — Stan Collymore (@StanCollymore) June 8, 2025 He was last month installed as the chancellor of the university and was described by Foy as a 'real community hero in that part of the world'. Foy added: 'Away from football, he always had an escape from refereeing because of the other things he did in his life. He loved his community and charity work. He loved other sports, which we used to talk about fondly. 'We used to talk all the time. We only exchanged text messages on Friday. It's tough at the minute.'

Emotional Alvaro Morata fights back tears and drops retirement hint after his penalty miss costs Spain Nations League crown
Alvaro Morata has said he has a big decision to make on his international future, acknowledging that retiring from Spain duty is 'possible.' On Sunday night, the Spanish captain was on the bench during the UEFA Nations League final defeat to Portugal. He came on during extra-time as a penalty shoot-out loomed, only to miss a decisive spot-kick during Spain's loss. Potential Arsenal signing Martin Zubimendi opened the scoring for Spain before Nuno Mendes equalised for Portugal. Mikel Oyarzabal retook the lead for Spain ahead once again ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo levelling things up ahead of the shoot-out. Ahead of a pair of 2026 World Cup qualifiers in September, Morata addressed his future. Luis de la Fuente made Morata his captain as soon as he took the Spain job in February 2023 'I feel bad for my teammates, but it's part of life,' said Morata to to Spanish outlet AS. 'The penalty? I didn't take it well, I could have done better, but there's nothing I can do now,' said Morata to AS. 'I'm leaving angry. I wanted to cry, even though I didn't. 'My children were in the stands, and in life, you have to learn. 'Retirement from the national team? It's possible, I won't be back in September.' Spain manager Luis de la Fuente reiterated his confidence in Morata despite opting to start him on the bench for the crucial final. 'He's a leader and especially important for us, regardless of whether he plays more or less,' said de la Fuente to Marca. 'He's the best leader. 'He has lots of football left in him and will have some very important moments with us. 'He contributes a lot behind the scenes, away from the spotlight. 'I attach great importance to that.' When de la Fuente took over as Spain boss in February 2023, he immediately gave the captain's armband to Morata. The former Chelsea striker lifted the Euro 2024 trophy after Spain defeated England in the final. Morata spent last season on loan at Galatasaray and the 32-year-old has spent time at Real Madrid, AC Milan, Juventus and Atletico Madrid during his career.
