[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. Manchester City do what they have to do against Crystal Palace. Two points behind Arsenal with two to play now. Palace started brightly, but a couple of glorious assists, one from Phil Foden and one from Raheem Sterling, helped Pep to keep the pressure on. The real drama last night was in Scotland. After seeing what a late VAR call can do for the title race in the Premier League, the SPL thought, "Let's have some of that." Celtic winning a penalty at the death at Motherwell. Kelechi Iheanacho was bafflingly calm as he rolled it home. So it's all to play for. Celtic v Hearts, a point is enough for the Jambos. Then to Spygate as Southampton sneak their way into the playoff final. Kim Hellborg heartbroken. Tom Ekhardt walking out of press conferences. Middlesbrough are still training just in case. We'll look ahead to the FA Cup final and to the Premier League weekend to answer your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Barry Glendenning. Welcome.

Let's begin with the title race. We'll get to that handball that looked suspiciously like a header in Scotland, [laughs] uh, in a, in a bit with Ewan. Um, but before that, Arsenal, so are top of the Premier League, 79 points from 36. Man City now have 77 from 36, and, uh, one better goal difference. Uh, they beat Crystal Palace three-nil.
