The English Premier League Title has already been decided, but the fight to stay alive is still ongoing.
Sunderland hosts Chelsea at the Stadium of the Light in an important match on Saturday. The Black Cats are currently in one of three relegation spots, sitting one point behind rival Newcastle United.
Elsewhere in England, Leicester City will be celebrating its EPL title with a game against Everton.
Bayern Munich can clinch the German Bundesliga title against FC Ingolstadt, while Borussia Mönchengladbach-Bayer Leverkusen should provide plenty of intrigue as both teams desire one of the UEFA Champions League qualification spots.

Pretty ruthless goal by Morris.
Kei and Higuain fighting over a meaningless PK leads to a Crew collapse. Almost have to bench them after that.
Jones did the same thing a few weeks ago but he’s a hero.
so dumb
Jones also plays cam for CO and I’ve yet to hear a complaint about being played out of position by posters here…..
#JustSayin’
Ps- Bryan you are a good person
Jones argued pretty extensively and his teammate then promptly missed the PK. Yeah…it was dumb alright.
Btw, what if it’s not a joke and just a (gasp) reaction to a live game that one types on a blog in a running commentary section…….? What if…?
Quoth the commenter: “nothing more”
No… Annoying. Please stop
Got it… No laughing allowed… Thanks for the internet rule update
Yedlin had his worst game of recent weeks but oddly it still wasn’t a bad game–possibly picking up an assist, but it did deflect so not sure if they will give him official credit.
Defensively he made some good tackles and pressures but he also was involved in both the Chelsea goals; albeit, the (potential) assist helps balance that.
Offensively, other than the late cross, he looked kind of his usual unsure self. He can’t run AND dribble with the ball close to him yet. I hope he focuses on fast paced dribbling and putting in crosses this summer. The defensive positioning, aerials, etc will come with experience but the other areas need some focused work. Excited about this young player doing well
Vardy is angry man coming back from suspension. Scores a 6′ goal. Great season
John terry sings Chevelle…
Opens a (slight) chance for miazga playing on Wednesday ?
Good win for Sunderland who just need to win one of two remaining to stay up.
Tough call for Pulisic to create a goal against that packed defense, but he had a few dangerous balls and was his usual self with his touch and speed of play.
Chandler looked like himself. Hard running, strange decisions. Glad he is healthy.
Finally Larsson is brought on for cattermole. Cattermole plays like he’s 37 but he’s like 28(?) or so. Never knew what coaches saw in him. He’s a 65′ sub to hold the midfield. Not a 90′ guy lol
Yedlin with a good cross in that finds Defoe. 3-2 Sunderland. Good jobs guys!
Borini with a huge equalizer! A point here with a newcastle loss would be huge if they can hold on.
Enjoying these alternating attacks from Chandler to Pulisic!
Some fine defending at the end of the half by Sunderland…how the hell does Matic get behind the defense…
SUNDERLAND……..L…….O…….L…….
OMG YOURE SO FUNNY
You point out the one non-positive comment that I made; yet again…
Please never change
lol
Because it’s annoying and stupid. The other comments aren’t.
lol it was an honest reaction to the live game (hence running commentary………….)
Sunderland fought back to equalize in the first half only to give up a goal right before half that undid their work (note: Yedlin was a catalyst for the goal). The second half was much better for them as my commentary reflects.
Honest question: do you watch the Sunderland games?
The arbitrary takeaway here should be to relax and try to not take a comment of laughter so personally. There is nothing offensive about my comment. Please save your SJW for actual social justice……
Have a great day
What a time to be alive…….
I watch the games. I just happen to find you irritating. Are you convinced that making the same stupid LOL comment every week is somehow endearing ? You make sure to find a way to sneak it in even when the black cats have good results. It’s corny and lame…..which is basically what you are.
I can’t stop you from getting unnecessarily offended by non offensive content…
I wish you the best man. Wholeheartedly.
It is undoubtedly stupid, corny and annoying. The guy said it best when he asked if you actually think making that stupid comment endears you to this board. It is the opposite. In this day and age, anyone who continuously either “lol”s or precedes his posts with “sorry” (which I don’t think you do, but you do seem like the type), loses all credibility instantaneously
Oh…ok…
Well, one positive is that there is no longer any doubt who currently wears the mantle of “most irritating SBI poster.” That title has a long, distinguished history (remember Adrian? or the incredible Expat?). You and Bryan were neck and neck, but you broke the tie by starting the ball rolling on yet another pointless, unendurable running commentary.
Lol expat used to annoy by posting rude, offensive, illogical posts. And you think I fall in that category for laughing at something comical and posting that on a running commentary board? Now that deserves an L……O……L…….
Now for the fun fact of the day! Yay!:
Several (10+) times over the past two seasons I had not yet posted a ‘sunlol’ and posters here have mentioned they were sad to not see one.
So who to listen to? The ones not offended by a simple laughter comment or those somehow deeply offended by a human being laughing?
Hint: the more you show your annoyance the more it feeds me to push your easily pressed buttons. Perhaps THAT is my sole fault, one I can easily live with considering it’s harmless… As soon as I post rude, offensive or hurtful comments you have the right to be annoyed. Until then you just look silly getting mad at someone who is laughing…..
“We talking about ….. an ‘lol’ …… Not a game, not a game…”
Please continue to enjoy this internet soccer blog everyone!!!
I like the Sunderland L…O…L.
Keep up the good work Davis Lennon et al
Nobody is offended. We just think you’re annoying. Those are different things. Also think you are responsible for the decline of comments on this page.
Davis, L….O…..L……
Why do you care so much about an irrelevant EPL team? But hey, they tied so the joke is on you.
“They tied so the joke is on you”……
oh the irony: neither team tied in the Sunderland-Chelsea game… lol
An American just came off the bench in the Dortmund – Frankfurt game!!!!!
…Its Timmy Chandler.
Khazri started well this season for Sunderland and has wavered of late but THAT will make fans forget all about his recent woes. Amazing volley
Kazri…wow!
Yedlin with the assist to Diego Costa…
Wish Fox had done the red zone thing on FS2 all season long.
What a splendid morning for some footie!!!!
