* 31 March 2003-March draws to a close with Manchester United now leading the Premier League just a month after Arsenal looked to have won it, though Arsène Wenger's team are only a point behind with a game in hand.

Three points now separate Portsmouth and Leicester City at the top of Division One.

Sheffield United, Reading, Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers remain in the playoff zone.

Ipswich Town's resurgence has seen them creep to the fringe of the top six, but Rotherham United's playoff hopes are evaporating.
