Saturday’s events continue with a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, culminating in a crunchy tea-time clash at Stamford Bridge.
The battle to clamour free of relegation worries dominates the day, as Caridff seek out another three points to follow their unexpected St Mary’s triumph – a mid-table Stoke City are their opponents in South Wales. Elsewhere, compatriots Swansea make the trip to an out-of-sorts Newcastle in their bid to keep themselves free of the Premier League trapdoor. Paul Lambert will look to halt Aston Villa’s alarming slide down the table with their home tie with Southampton, while Crystal Palace will seek out a fifth straight win when they pay visit to Upton Park.
The day is rounded off by Chelsea’s bid to climb to the top of the table for 24-hours at least, as they look to hammer a nail in Sunderland’s coffin. Given the Black Cats’ show at the Etihad on Wednesday, however, we should expect the unexpected.
