1 Farewell to White Hart Lane
Tottenham moved to White Hart Lane in 1899 but they will be off to Wembley for a year after their clash with Manchester United before returning to a brand new stadium in time for the 2018-19 season.

A big party is planned after the United clash and Spurs hotshot Harry Kane is 7-2 favourite to score the last goal in the United contest as Tottenham look to seal second spot in the Premier League. They have not finished that high since 1963.

2 National League promotion final
There promises to be a great clash at Wembley with a place in the Sky Bet Football League on offer for the winners of the National League promotion final between Tranmere and Forest Green.

Tranmere are 8-11 to return to the big time at the first attempt, while Forest Green can be backed at 11-10 for a first promotion to the elite 92 of English football.

3 Dutch title up for grabs
Titles could be decided in France and Italy this weekend but a lot of traditional football fans will be looking at the Eredivisie as Feyenoord aim to win their first championship since 1999.

The Rotterdam giants, to use a Rachel Riley phrase, bottled it at Excelsior last time out with a 3-0 defeat. They get another chance at home to Heracles on the final day and must match Ajax's result at Willem II to guarantee the title. Feyenoord are 1-5 with Ajax 15-4.
