Easter football

[Coffee]

"*GOOD FRIDAY* (also International Mermaid Day) NEWCASTLE UNITED vs WEST HAM UNITED (1230) A whopping Easter fixture list gets underway at St James Park where the mighty Irons are the visitors. Newcastle have a strong home record this season with almost three-quarters of their points gained on home ground. But they’ve also had a stack of crucial injuries that have made their defence look like a leaking tap. That’s the opportunity – but it has to be taken. Draw. BOURNEMOUTH vs EVERTON (1500) Cherries and Toffees. That’s quite a tasty combination when you think about it. One lot are safe, the other prefers not to change the habit of a lifetime and will be sweating it out until May. Draw. CHELSEA vs BURNLEY (1500) Burnley are gripping Premier League survival with their fingernails while the best Chelsea can hope for is a top half finish. You may well chuckle. Home win. NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs FULHAM (1500) The nerves, they are ajangling in Nottingham. The City Ground has spent the last two years flirting with the dotted line like nobody’s business and Forest now find themselves among the four prime contenders for that third relegation place. Today it’s Fulham’s turn to try and put the mockers on their brave survival bid. Home win. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs LUTON TOWN (1500) Speaking of the dotted line, Luton look down upon it courtesy of their one-point advantage over Forest. The Hatters have made a good number of friends this season, but how much is that recent turnaround at Bournemouth affecting their state of mind? Spurs, meanwhile, look set to leapfrog Villa for a couple of hours. They’ll expect to beat Luton today, but wouldn’t it be fun if… Home win. ASTON VILLA vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1730) Wolves have secured another season in the top flight. Neighbouring Villa are looking to secure a Champions League spot if Spurs play along. Home win. BRENTFORD vs MANCHESTER UNITED (2000) The Bees aren’t quite out of the woods just yet. But with tongues wagging about a possible move for Thomas Frank to Old Trafford, Man U boss Erik ten Haag will want to send a message of his own. Expect a tight game under the Heathrow flight path, stray doors permitting. Draw. *EASTER SUNDAY* LIVERPOOL vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1400) If things are tight at the bottom, ooh err missus, they’re nothing like what’s occurring among the top three, all of whom play this afternoon. How much more will be known about the Premier League trophy’s destination by the end of this week? In the first game, the Reds host inconsistent Brighton, who have been blowing hot air up our metaphorical backside for a while and would benefit from some quenching treatment at Anfield. Home win. MANCHESTER CITY vs ARSENAL (1630) The media will be creaming themselves at this one. Plenty of subplots here for added spice. Home win. *TUESDAY* NEWCASTLE UNITED vs EVERTON (1930) Home win. NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs FULHAM (1930) Home win. BOURNEMOUTH vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1945) Draw. WEST HAM UNITED vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (2015) Emphatic home win. Then the alarm clock starts beeping. *WEDNESDAY* ARSENAL vs LUTON TOWN (1930) Home win. BRENTFORD vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1930) Draw. MANCHESTER CITY vs ASTON VILLA (2015) Home win. *THURSDAY* LIVERPOOL vs SHEFFIELD UNITED (1930) Home win. CHELSEA vs MANCHESTER UNITED (2015) Draw. *CHAMPIONSHIP* One win in the last five has seen Leicester dislodged from the secure perch on which they have roosted for almost all of the last seven months. Leeds have assumed that right to crow, for now. Ipswich aren’t out of it – just one point behind the top two – while Southampton, West Brom and Norwich make up the other hopefuls. Today sees Leicester travel to Bristol City, while Leeds go to Watford and Ipswich make the trip to Blackburn. At the bottom, a meagre five points are all that separate Millwall in 16th from Sheffield Wednesday in 23rd. Who’d be a Championship club?"

"Cheers Coffee, I hope you have a better Good Friday than Jesus had. What it comes to predicting how our game will pan out I am only interested in the advice of Tonali and Paqueta. Home win and a yellow card for Paq. City might have a few injured...Draw. A chance for Liverpool but Brighton have done well against them in the past so wouldn't be shocked if they get something from it. Go easy on the chocolate..."

Seems a bit fishy to me
