    We at Team Sportsday are signing off for the day now. In two hours' time, we'll start building up to tonight's Premier League game on the BBC Sport website. 

    From 19:00 BST follow live text and radio commentary from the Britannia Stadium as Stoke host Tottenham in the Premier League. Spurs can narrow Leicester's lead at the top to five points with a win. 

  2. Lawro's predictionpublished at 16:55 BST 18 April 2016

    Stoke v Tottenham (20:00 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    Former Liverpool defender

    Stoke lost heavily at Anfield last week after drawing 2-2 with Swansea, but there is no way their manager Mark Hughes will just let things fizzle out after another really good season.

    I still fancy Tottenham to win here, though. I was really impressed with them against Manchester United, not simply the fact they won 3-0 but because United looked bright and sharp early on yet never looked like scoring.

    It was hard to see Spurs getting a grip on the game, so they were relying on their defence, but then it just happened for them at the other end.

    That is why they are such a good side - they have players who can turn games around in a second.

    Any other year, we would be saying they are the best team in the league, but Leicester look like beating them to the title.

    Lawro's prediction: 0-2

    (Arsenal fan) Idris Elba's prediction: "How would I feel if Tottenham win the title? I would be physically ill. Literally, I would be throwing up. Against Stoke, Spurs will have them, but I think it will be a good game." 3-2

    Seven marathons, seven days, seven continents - blind

    Dave runs marathons. In fact, Dave runs a lot of marathons. Dave runs so many marathons that in 2008 he completed seven of them, in seven days and across seven continents. 

    Oh...and Dave is blind. 'Blind Dave', as his friends call him, has raised over £3m for various charities and has been recognised by his childhood football club, West Brom, for his efforts.
