- Interim boss Michael Carrick has lifted results and remains a candidate for the permanent job, though decision‑makers plan to wait until the season ends before making an appointment.

- Manchester City and Chelsea have booked places in the FA Cup final, with Pep Guardiola stressing heavy rotation to handle a crowded schedule and a three‑week spell that he said will decide their trophy chase.
