Share

Championship: Norwich are showing Preston who is boss, with Kenny McLean adding a second to put the Canaries in control.

Share

Championship: A bit more fun at St Andrews as Sheffield United are given a penalty after Birmingham’s Jack Robinson picks up the ball, thinking it has gone out of play. He puts it on the edge of the six-yard box for a goal-kick, only for the referee to award a penalty. Peck steps up and Beadle saves.

Kick-offs

Whistles are peeping across the country.

Share

We can look towards the 3pm kick-offs now.

Hartman is back in the Burnley team. He last played in the league in December, before spending plenty of time unable to even make the matchday squad. He had a promising start to the season before looking defensively questionable. It will be interesting to see what version we get of the Dutch left-back.

“Sunderland: Ellborg; Geertruida, Ballard, Alderete, Hume; Xhaka, Sadiki; Diarra, Rigg, Talbi; Brobbey”

The race for the Champions League is ON!

I went to see your friend and mine Pep Guardiola yesterday.

“Have we timewarped back to the 60s/70s?” asks Jeremy Boyce. “Coventry City v Southampton reads like a fixture from that era, and I can’t help thinking of Terry Paine’s sideburns, surely the finest to ever grace the top flight ? That and the Willie Carr/Ernie Hunt freekick routine.

“Ernie Hunt’s muttons weren’t too shabby either. Anyway, looks like FLCC are on their way back to the promised land, possibly replacing free-falling Spurs. A lot may depend on the outcome as Dr Tottenham make a house visit to struggling Liverpool tomorrow. They both need 3 points. Nailed on draw. Tudor lives again. Of course Coventry famously beat Spurs in a Cup Final, thanks to Tommy Hutchinson’s flying header. Those were the days, eh ?”

Middlesbrough have scored a vital goal against Bristol City through the very talented Leo Castledine.

Get in the mood for the weekend’s with 10 things. I wrote far too many of them.

Wrexham gave their promotion hopes a boost last night with a win over Welsh rivals Swansea but the match was a sideshow. Dominic Booth focused on the gantry shenanigans of Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.

Preamble

Buckle up, everyone! It is a bumper Saturday in the Premier League with the top two playing, not to mention Chelsea v Newcastle. Unfortunately, that comes from 5.30pm onwards. For now we have Burnley v Bournemouth and Sunderland v Brighton. We can all accept that the Clarets are heading down and the Seagulls will be signing off a steady but unspectacular season.

Bournemouth and Sunderland, however, have Europe on their minds. Andoni Iraola could see his side move up the eighth with a win at Turf Moor, and with Everton playing leaders Arsenal, could finish the weekend there. Burnley have shown glimpses of being a Premier League team, so it is not always easy in Lancashire but Bournemouth will be confident.

The Black Cats have stumbled recently but anyone in red and white will be ecstatic with the position they find themselves in. The hard work has already been done and potentially the freedom that comes with that could allow for a late surge up the table.

Premier League 3pm kick-offs.
