Friday 15 April 2016 20:50, UK
We have another key weekend in the Premier League coming up, with crucial clashes at the top and bottom of the table as we enter the business end of the season, with the key talking points covered in Sky Sports Now.
What a week it has been on Sky Sports Now. We've been trying to discover the secret behind Leicester's success. Hear what former strikers Paul Dickov and Tony Cottee think has made Claudio Ranieri's side the team to beat - will they take another step towards the title this weekend?
We ask former Newcastle defender Steve Howey why the club haven't been picking up results under Rafael Benitez, and find out why Paul Merson is no longer backing West Ham to cause an upset on Super Sunday. The former Arsenal forward also has an idea about how Leicester's fairy tale season should be documented.
It's been a good week for English clubs in Europe - Liverpool beat Borussia Dortmund to reach the last four of the Europa League where they face Villarreal, while Manchester City booked their place in the semi-finals of the Champions League. They'll go up against Real Madrid, and could meet Bayern Munich and future manager Pep Guardiola in the final. Guillem Balague joined us to discuss.
We spent a day behind the scenes at Rangers, hear manager Mark Warburton, assistant David Weir and midfielder Andy Halliday reveal how they've been preparing for that huge Old Firm clash on Sunday when Rangers and Celtic go head to head for a place in the Scottish Cup Final.
Join us for Sky Sports Now every weekday morning at 10am when next week we'll welcome guests including Stuart Pearce, Nigel Winterburn, Charlie Nicholas, Ray Parlour and Dermot Gallagher.
