Saturday football

[Coffee]

"The same old three are jostling for position at the top of the Premier League, as they have for most of the last few months. The smallest slip hands the initiative to the others: see Liverpool. On paper, Man City have the weekend’s easiest assignment, followed by Liverpool and then Arsenal. At the bottom Sheff Utd are as good as gone and will start next season with a points’ deduction. It never rains, but it pours. Burnley are nearly as good as gone. That leaves Luton, Forest and Everton, separated by two measly points, battling to avoid the third relegation spot. Luton have picked the day’s short straw while Forest may hope VAR comes to their aid against the unfortunate Wolves. As for us, we could do with three points [i] to alleviate to some extent the misery of another piss-poor performance and late capitulation against Leverkusen; and [ii] to keep us in reasonable touch with the others in the hunting for a sixth placed finish. Come on, you Cherries. The Championship continues to surprise and excite, with relegation-threatened Plymouth issuing an unexpected walloping to leaders Leicester last night. The division mirrors the Premier League insofar as a single point separates the top three. Leeds take on Blackburn and Ipswich host Boro in the day’s most prominent games. At the bottom eight sides, including Millwall who take on Cardiff this afternoon, are competing to finish above the dotted line. Time for a Millwall Relegation thread? *SATURDAY* NEWCASTLE UNITED vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1230) BRENTFORD vs SHEFFIELD UNITED (1500) BURNLEY vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1500) MANCHESTER CITY vs LUTON TOWN (1500) NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1500) BOURNEMOUTH vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1730) *SUNDAY* LIVERPOOL vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1400) WEST HAM UNITED vs FULHAM (1400) ARSENAL vs ASTON VILLA (1630) *MONDAY* CHELSEA vs EVERTON (2000)"
