Watford vs Burnley is such as big match (for Burnley) on Saturday, and one you feel they really have to win. They will have probably have had an underdog mentality these past 3 games, but now they are out of the relegation zone and playing a side below them who are pretty much gone, and the onus / expectation is now on them to get the win. Watford absolutely shocking at home, and have lost 10 league games in a row at VR, but then Burnley have only won one match away.

If they win it will give them such a good platform to get another win in either match vs Villa, but if they don't win, especially if they lose, then I think it could be critical for them. I still have least faith in Burnley surviving at this stage, despite Everton currently being the betting faves to go down.

Quite looking forward to the Liverpool match tomorrow. A very tough prospect, but good chance to see how far Newcastle have come, and how they match up to an amazing side - while Klopp isn't happy happy with the 12.30pm KO, I do think the atmosphere would have been a lot better had it have been switched to 5.30pm or 7.45pm, so it may actually benefit Liverpool. Absolutely mad to think with 4 games to go, it's an effective free hit for Newcastle with no pressure or jeopardy.

Big final day in League One tomorrow with the title, automatic promotion, playoff places, and a relegation spot or two all to be determined. Those matches also kick off at 12.30pm.

I'm another Leeds supporter, since approx 1974. I am now getting very worried. We are finding it hard to score, Burnley are on a roll and Everton I just think will pick up a couple of wins. Could have done with nicking three points at Palace last week. Obviously didn't expect anything from man city but the other two results this weekend were disastrous. I think if we lose next two, to Arsenal and Chelsea we won't make it. Somehow need a big unexpected result. If we do pick up 6 + more points I can see someone going down on 40 this year. And could be us with our goal difference.
Good tennis weekend but terrible football one...

Yeah, it's not looking great for Leeds at the moment, and not long ago they were around 6/1, and their results have largely been good these past 6 weeks, 3 wins, 2 draws, and that expected defeat to Man City. 38 points might not be good enough now, whereas it was looking much lower than that only 14 days ago before Burnley's crazy upturn.

Just so pleased Newcastle managed to win those 10 matches from 14, because even a return of 8 wins, 1 draw, 5 defeats, which would have still been fantastic, would have saw us on 37 points with Man City and Arsenal up next, and then a potentially disastrous match at Turf Moor on the final day.

Likely still a few twists, turns, and unexpected results to come, but it's looking so much better for Everton now, and they could get a lot more points from their next 4.

Great to see one of the English clubs making the Europa League final 

Ha, many Rangers supporters are confused enough about their identity.

I'm so far from being a Rangers fan but what a great achievement to reach the Europa Final, especially dispatching Dortmund and Leipzig along the way who are both in theory better than Eintracht Frankfurt. So clearly a guaranteesd win 

Rangers were also without their two main strikers in both legs against Leipzig.
