Both teams have won three legs each in this playoff. TOR Raptors have lost all three away games at CLE Cavaliers, but each time by a diminishing margin. Their last defeat was by five points, so this starting advantage could be enough to see them get a win.

George Russell is currently second in the Drivers' Championship table. From the three Grands Prix this season, he has one win to his name. That was in Australia, where he started from pole position. He also had a runner-up spot in China. Now racing in Miami, he could return to winning ways, especially if things go well in qualifying.
19:00 Aston Villa v Tottenham
Aston Villa
Tottenham have had a poor season and currently occupy a relegation position with four games remaining. Villa are currently fifth and in a Champions League spot for next season. Villa won this fixture last season and come into this game having won their last two home matches.

Aidan O'Brien runs two in this race, and Precise is the mount of Ryan Moore. In her opening race last season she finished second, then ran four more times, winning them all. Her last race saw her win the Bet365 Fillies' Mile over today's course and distance. She has proven she can stay a mile and looks a worthy favourite.

Having had a winning run this season, True Love may have a fitness edge on some of her rivals. That race was over seven furlongs. Having seen that race out very well to win by just over a length, there is every reason to be optimistic she can take this step up in distance. Aidan O'Brien runs two in this race and could possibly have the first two home.
15:30 Man Utd v Liverpool
Man Utd
Both teams have played thirty-four games, with Manchester United one place and three points above Liverpool. Manchester United have improved under the guidance of Michael Carrick. They have won six of their last seven home games and stand on the cusp of Champions League football next season, which could be enough for the board to make Carrick's appointment permanent. In all competitions, Liverpool have lost four of their last five away games.

Westport is unbeaten in his two races. He has to give at least a stone in weight to his three rivals. However, with the form of those rivals, this should not be an inconvenience for him.
14:00 Bournemouth v Crystal Palace
Bournemouth
Bournemouth are higher than Crystal Palace in the table and still have aspirations of European football next season. Their last seven home games have seen them win two and draw five. Crystal Palace lost their last away game at Liverpool. A win today will keep the momentum moving forward for a shot at European football next season.
00:15 Inter Miami v Orlando City
Inter Miami
Both teams have played ten games. Inter Miami are second in the table on nineteen points, while Orlando City are second from bottom on seven points. Inter Miami have played three home games this season, and all have ended in draws. Orlando City have just one point from their last five away games. The last time Inter Miami welcomed Orlando City, they won.

Metz have taken just one point from their last five home games and currently sit bottom of the table, while Monaco are seventh. Monaco have won on their last three visits to Metz.
17:30 Arsenal v Fulham
Arsenal
With Manchester City not playing until Monday, Arsenal will want to extend their lead to six points at the top of the Premiership before City play the first of their two games in hand. Fulham have only taken two points from their last three away games. Arsenal won at Fulham earlier in the season and also won their last home game.

With things so tight at the top of the Premiership, it is possible goal difference may decide who are crowned champions. Four of the last five times Arsenal have welcomed Fulham, the game finished with at least three goals. Arsenal will not only be looking for all three points but also to improve their goal difference.
15:00 Brentford v West Ham
West Ham
Brentford need the points as they seek to get into a European competition next season, while West Ham need the points to enhance their chance of remaining in the Premiership. Brentford's last five home Premiership games have been winless, with four draws and one defeat. West Ham have two wins, two defeats, and one draw in their last five Premiership games. Brentford lost their last game, which was away at Manchester United. Meanwhile, West Ham won their last game, which was a home win against Everton. With the fighting spirit that has come into the West Ham players, they are likely to take a very valuable three points.
15:00 Newcastle v Brighton
Newcastle
Newcastle come into this game following four consecutive Premiership defeats. This was preceded by a humiliating defeat to Barcelona where they conceded seven times. Brighton left it very late in their last game to grab a point away at relegation-threatened Tottenham. Newcastle are fourteenth in the table and with Eddie Howe needing a response from his side, I’m backing them to do just that and dent Brighton's European aspirations for next season.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Sunderland
Wolverhampton
It appears Wolves are trying to give hope to their home supporters that they should be optimistic about a return to Premiership football after a season in the Championship. Prior to losing at home to Tottenham, they had beaten Liverpool and Aston Villa, and drew with Arsenal. If they can show that sort of form against Sunderland, who lost their last away game at Aston Villa, then there is every chance of another home win.

Blue Rc has been in very good form on the all-weather. His last four races have seen him win once and finish second three times. Prior to these four runs, the first of which was in October last year, Blue Rc had won two on the bounce on turf. One of those races was at Thirsk over seven furlongs, where he won by just over three lengths. Today he is seventeen pounds higher than when winning at Thirsk last June. He races off the same mark that saw him finish second at Newcastle last time out. With a return to turf and what appears to be a decent draw, hopefully Blue Rc can add another turf success to his CV.

Leeds are six points ahead of Tottenham, who currently sit in the last relegation spot, with West Ham and Forest immediately below Leeds. All three of those clubs won their last match, whilst Leeds drew away at Bournemouth. Leeds won their last home game, which was against relegated Wolves. They face another relegated team in the form of Burnley, who have lost their last three away games. With nothing to lose, Burnley are sure to make a game of this, but Leeds will likely get the necessary three points.

Following an impressive sixteen-length success at Wetherby, Jonjo O'Neill sends Pioneer Pete over the water to contest this race. The run at Wetherby was by far the best he had run in his five hurdle races. This will be his first try in handicap company, and the jockey who rode him to success last time out is once again on board. With winning form on similar ground to what he will be racing on today, hopefully Pioneer Pete can put up a bold showing.

This is a must-win game for the DET Pistons, who have only won one of the opening four games in this playoff against the ORL Magic.

With O'Sullivan and Trump being knocked out yesterday, the current world champion looks vulnerable against an in-form Shaun Murphy. Having come through a final-frame decider in the first round, Murphy looked much more assured of himself in his second rout against Xiao Gudong. Using that form as a springboard, Murphy could send another favourite for this year's title packing.

These two players have met nine times before, with Shaun Murphy winning six of those meetings. Murphy was in blistering form in his last match, dropping only three frames. With Xintong only beating Ding by four frames, if Murphy can have a very good first session, there is every chance he could secure a six-frame win against the current world champion and open the door for himself to once again become world champion.

Over a longer match, and given the way Vafaei played in winning his last round, Trump could win this by a six-frame margin.
