Arsenal 2-2 Barcelona
Arsenal fought back from 2-0 down to grab a late draw. So they still have a chance. The fightback was amazing, Cesc Fabregas limping around the pitch was not.
Aaron Ramsey missed out with a broken leg – and injury which Cesc Fabregas also might have, if rumours are to be believed.

Championship Result 30th March
Cardiff City 2-1 Leicester City
Cardiff consolidate their position in the play-offs with another win, while it’s Leicester’s turn to look shaky.
Darcy Blake started for Cardiff again but he had to be substituted early on after suffering an injury. Most sources say he hurt his neck but there a couple of votes for ‘shoulder’ and also some reports that he ‘hobbled off’. Adam Matthews was the player who replaced him and he nearly scored an absolutely amazing goal for the hosts. If he’s this good at 18, cold from the bench, just imagine how good he’ll be when he’s old enough to drink in America. Lucky lucky Wales. Aaron Wildig was on the bench.
Cardiff could have won by more if Leicester's Andy King hadn't made a vital clearance off the line. Nicky Adams made a rare appearance from Leicester's bench.
Plymouth Argyle 0-0 Barnsley
Another point for Plymouth – but relegation form isn’t the best way to avoid relegation.
Carl Fletcher missed out for Plymouth with a knee injury.

League Two Fixtures 2nd April
Grimsby Town v Northampton Town
Grimsby are now just four points away from safety but Northampton need a win in order to get back into the play-off zone.
Peter Gilbert should be in defence for Northampton with keeper Paul Walker on the bench.
Morecambe v Crewe Alexandra
Morecambe still have some hope of the play-offs, as they’re five points behind seventh-placed Aldershot Town.
Darren Moss is probably most likely to be on the bench although he did come on as a substitute last time, possibly to replace an injured player.

League One Fixtures 2nd April Part 2
Millwall v Brentford
A draw for Millwall will put them up into second place although Leeds United will catch them if they win or draw tomorrow. But if Millwall win 3-0 and Leeds only win 1-0, then Leeds will be behind on goal difference.
Kenny Jackett seems to have a lot of Millwall’s key players back but they probably won’t be scoring past Lewis Price, who will be on the bench unless Brentford need some of their other loanees in the squad.
Tranmere Rovers v Norwich City
Tranmere aim to climb out of the relegation zone… with victory over runaway leaders Norwich City. Good luck with that.
Ash Taylor should play for Tranmere but Norwich will probably ignore Owain Tudur Jones and Josh Dawkin, who has recently been offered his first professional contract by Norwich.
League One Fixtures 2nd April Part 1
Carlisle United v Bristol Rovers
Carlisle hope to bounce back from their Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Final defeat while Bristol Rovers are looking like they might mount a late play-off challenge after all. Well as long as they’re not mounting each other’s wives I really don’t mind what they mount.
Jason Price is likely to be back in Carlisle’s team after being cup-tied for the Final. Byron Anthony won’t play for Bristol Rovers as he’s suspended for the next two matches after picking up his 10th yellow card. I would love it if Ben Swallow replaced him but as Byron is a defender and Ben is a midfielder it doesn’t seem very likely.
Exeter City v Colchester United
Exeter could be back in the relegation zone if they lose this match but the way Colchester United have been playing lately, there’s a good chance Exeter won’t have to worry too much.
I personally would put Andy Marriott back in goal for Exeter as his return to the starting line-up coincided with Exeter’s last good run but I’m not the manager or a mind-reader so the Exeter manager could pick anyone. Richard Duffy and Rob Edwards are likely to start though with Stuart Fleetwood on the bench as long as Exeter’s reserves weren’t in action last night.
Lee Beevers is probably still out for Colchester but Thomas Bender could be on the bench.

Championship Fixtures 2nd April
Scunthorpe United v Blackpool
Scunthorpe are still in a relegation battle but Blackpool won’t care – they just want to get into the play-offs!
Neal Eardley looks set to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury but David Vaughan has recovered from a foot problem and maybe Ian Holloway will let Rob Edwards off the bench.
West Bromwich Albion v Leicester City
Leicester have taken over from Cardiff City as the side most likely to drop out of the play-off places so this match against West Bromwich Albion has come at just the wrong time.
Andy King will probably start for Leicester with Nicky Adams on the bench.
