THAT’s ALL FOR NOW
That’s all from me.
Elsewhere, Fulham are taking on Aston Villa at Villa Park – the game has the potential to shake up the relegation race.
Plenty of footy still to come here at SunSport next week with the return of the Champions League.
As well as Europa League action on Thursday, followed by more top-flight Premier League football.
Have a happy Easter!

Where there’s a Willock there’s a way.
WILL POWER

Harry Kane’s quickfire brace after Joelinton’s opener looked to have moved Jose Mourinho’s side up three places into the Champions League spots.
But Willock, who had only been on seven minutes, had other ideas as he fired off the underside of the bar to bag a precious point for the relegation-threatened Magpies.
