    Barnsley v Oxford - Johnstone's Paint Trophy final (Sun, 14:30 BST)

    Barnsley and Oxford are on their way to the national stadium this weekend for the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final.

    What is U's boss Michael Appleton most excited about?

    "Part of the experience of a showcase final is the bus ride into Wembley," he said.

    "It's something the players wanted and it was just something they wanted to make it feel as normal as it could possibly be."

    Who's up for a game of I-spy?

    Graham Gooch Essex

    Essex's new head coach Chris Silverwood can bring success back to the club after years of "flat-lining", according to ex-opening batsman Graham Gooch. 

    The county has not won any silverware since 2008 when they won the One-Day Cup and Division Two of the Pro40. 

    "He's a very balanced guy, he's passionate about leading Essex into a new era," former England opener Gooch told BBC Look East. 

    "I'm confident he can start something special for Essex."

  9. On this day

    Football

    A cautionary tale about putting too much faith in statistics to predict the future now...

    On this day in 2003, Francis Jeffers scored his 13th goal in as many England Under-21s appearances - equalling a record set by Alan Shearer.

    Needless to say, Jeffers was not the next Shearer.

    Louis van Gaal has also responded, albeit fleetingly, to Sir Alex Ferguson's suggestion that the Manchester United fans need to show patience. "He is right. I cannot deny that," said the Dutchman.

    "When you have to succeed a man like Ferguson, the expectations are very high. But his first four years. That is a good example. 

    "You cannot change a team in one year. It is a process, Many times I was laughed at for saying it but it is like that. We are capable of being in top three, We believe in that. We can win the FA Cup. We have a lot to fight for."

    Luke Shaw

    In better news on the injury front, Louis van Gaal confirmed that Luke Shaw will return to training next week. The left-back has recovered from the broken leg in the Champions League defeat in Eindhoven in September but remains unlikely to play again this season.

    "Luke shall start the first training sessioins on the pitch next week," the manager said. "Now he can train with his bodyweight on the pitch. But it is very difficult to play in the final of the FA Cup."

    Bastian Schweinsteiger

    Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says Bastian Schweinsteiger will find it tough to be fit for Euro 2016 after being injured in training ahead of Germany's friendly defeat to England.

    "Bastian has a tragic injury," he said of the midfielder's knee problem. "The expectations are not so good in relation to Euros. He has to work hard for it. He wants to play and I hope he can reach that. It shall be difficult."

  13. Bernie can't get no satisfaction

    Formula 1

    Mick Jagger

    You can always rely on F1 mogul Bernie Ecclestone to come up with an entertaining quote.

    The 85-year-old has likened the sport to a rock concert at which the band turned up but could not perform.  

    "We are not putting on a very good show," he said, in the build-up to Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix. "Imagine if people turned up to watch the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger couldn't sing and the others couldn't play their instruments."

    Err..quite. Here's the rest of his interview with BBC Sport.

  16. Man City to finish fourth?

    Football

    The more observant among you will have noticed that our vote is now closed, with 28% of you suggesting that Manchester City will claim fourth place in the Premier League. A further 25% opt for West Ham and 21% for Manchester United. 

    Interestingly 2% of those who voted believe a team from outside the current top nine will finish fourth. Chelsea, perhaps?

  17. Anything to add, Louis?

    Football

    So Angel di Maria tells Football Focus he was never able to settle at Manchester United....

    Wonder if Louis van Gaal has heard the Argentina forward's comments?

    We'll hear from the Man Utd manager's news conference shortly, ahead of Sunday's game against Everton.

  19. Watch Anthony Joshua prepare for a fight

    Boxing

    The most laid-back heavyweight in history? Anthony Joshua has a strong claim for that particular moniker. 

    Unfortunately for his opponents he's not half as relaxed in the ring. 

    BBC Three has had exclusive access to the British champion in the run-up to a big fight and it's well worth a watch to see how he's handling the pressure of being the golden boy of the big man's division.

    Joshua fights American southpaw Charles Martin for the IBF heavyweight title on Saturday, 9 April.
