The battle for fifth place took centre stage today, and like yesterday's action means it's still all to play for in the UEFA Cup race. Blackburn earned themselves a very impressive victory over Portsmouth. Roque Santa Cruz's goal was enough to see Rovers leapfrog Man City in the table. Pompey were without David James who missed out with injury, and question marks will remain on his fitness with the FA Cup Final looming large.
In today's other game Aston Villa twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Everton at Goodison Park. Everton took the lead twice from unlikely goalscorers Phil Neville and Joseph Yobo, with Villa's equalisers coming from Gabriel Agbonlahor and John Carew. The result leaves Martin O'Neill's side three points behind Everton, the Toffees face a tricky away game against Arsenal next.
Speaking of Arsenal, they are away to Derby County tomorrow in the last game of this round of fixtures. Can Derby achieve their first win in the league since September? Or will Arsenal run riot at Pride Park?
Derby County vs Arsenal is LIVE on Setanta Sports 1 from 7.50pm tomorrow night.
Tomorrow I'll start looking back on each team's season, picking out the good parts and the bad and suggesting improvements for next season. I think I'll go alphabetically, so expect to see an Arsenal season review very soon.
