Match Day Review

Hi all and welcome to this early match day review.

I will be going away for a couple of days this evening so thought I would write up about the early games that kicked off at 12:30 today.

A 10 man Preston side have moved into 8th after beating Blackburn 1-0 away from home. Blackburn have been abysmal recently, losing 6 of their last 7 games and conceding 14 goals in these games! After having a good start to the season, however I imagine that they will stay up as they are sat in 17th and 10 points clear from the relegation zone.

Sheffield Utd have closed the gap on Norwich to only 4 points through beating a 10 man Rotherham side 2-0. Not only are Norwich and Sheffield racing for the top of the table, the two teams forwards Teemu Pukki and Billy Sharp are battling for the golden boot with Pukki leading by 2 goals on 24.

21st place Reading take on 19th place Wigan at the Madejski at 3pm with only 3 points separating the two teams. If either of these teams want to maintain their spot in the league this is a must win game and could be a big factor if one of these teams is to go down.
