Here are the latest Premier League headlines for Friday, March 25.
Kyle Walker-Peters in line for England debut
Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters is likely to make is debut for England ahead of the Saints' clash with Leeds United next weekend. Walker-Peters, alongside Crystal Palace duo Marc Guehi and Tyrick Mitchell are among the uncapped members of the Three Lions squad ahead of friendlies with Switzerland on Saturday and Ivory Coast on Tuesday.
"We are going to have debuts this week, that's for sure, whether that is tomorrow or Tuesday," England boss Gareth Southgate said, speaking at a press conference ahead of the game against Switzerland.
"Great moments for those players. We will always want to put them in with experienced players as well so that we have a good balance and it gives them the best chance of succeeding."

Xhaka's Arsenal relief
Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka is pleased to not be coming up against two of his in-form Arsenal team-mates at Wembley on Saturday evening. England host the Swiss in a friendly with both sides now preparing for the World Cup later this year.
Xhaka has been part of an Arsenal team which has enjoyed a fine second half to the season so far, with the Gunners now favourites to claim a top-four Premier League finish. The fact four Arsenal players were called up into Gareth Southgate's initial 25-man squad for the Switzerland and Ivory Coast friendlies is testament to their recent form.
However, a hip injury forced goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to withdraw and Bukayo Saka followed suit after testing positive for coronavirus on Thursday. Ben White and Emile Smith Rowe could still feature for the hosts as Xhaka acknowledged the absence of the Arsenal pair could help Switzerland's chances.
"Two of them are not playing tomorrow so it's good because we know the quality they have," he said of England's Arsenal contingent. "Of course they have a very good generation now, playing very well, not only in the national team but with Arsenal as well.
"We're happy that Saka and Aaron are not playing tomorrow. We are doing very well at the moment. There are still nine games to play. We have to see what happens in those next games and afterwards you can ask me again how good the season was."
West Ham charity donation
West Ham have made donations to nine animal welfare charities following the club fine handed out to Kurt Zouma for kicking his pet cat. France defender Zouma faced a public outcry and was subsequently charged by the RSPCA after footage emerged last month of him kicking and slapping the cat.
Zouma's two cats were confiscated by the RSPCA while West Ham fined the 27-year-old the maximum two weeks' wages, believed to be around £250,000. Zouma and the club also lost sponsorship deals following the appalling incident, while the player has been jeered by opposition fans ever since.
But the Hammers have now confirmed that "significant payments" have been made to nine animal charities at home and abroad. The club said: "West Ham United is pleased to confirm that financial donations have been made to a number of animal welfare charities following the club fine handed to Kurt Zouma. A total of nine organisations, supporting the care and wellbeing of animals both in the United Kingdom and internationally, have been identified to receive significant payments which will go towards supporting the fantastic work they do."
