The penultimate weekend of the Premier League season is upon us and it promises to be an epic instalment, if only because it begins this afternoon at 12:45 and ends on Tuesday evening!
It has been an emotional week in the Premier League with the announcement of some high profile departures and arrivals. A managerial carousel looks set to ensue this summer, but we are glad to tell you that your position as a fantasy manager is more than secure. Use all your tactical nous to pick a winning team from this weekend’s fixtures:
All the talk this week has been of the last king of Scotland’s shock retirement. News reports have been flooded with tributes for the man who bought Massimo Taibi, Pat McGibbon, Juan Veron and Bebe; discovered a young Robin van Persie playing park football in north London and was paid millions by Accurist for subliminally advertising their product. Will the coercive Glaswegian bow out of Old Trafford on a high against Swansea on Sunday?
