On Soccer Saturday...
Friday 25 April 2014 11:43, UK
Join Jeff Stelling and his Soccer Saturday team for what’s set to be an edge-of-your-seat afternoon of football.
With the 2013/14 season nearing its conclusion teams throughout the land are desperately scrapping for vital points which could determine their campaigns a success or failure.
In the Premier League, Fulham host Hull, knowing victory would lift them out of the drop zone before Norwich travel to Manchester United and Sunderland tackle Cardiff on Super Sunday, while Reading and Wigan can join Derby and QPR in guaranteeing Championship play-off places with results going in their favour on Saturday.
Peterborough and Swindon continue to battle for the final play-off berth in League One, but Shrewsbury must win this weekend to keep their survival hopes alive, while Notts County could also be relegated on Saturday.
And there’s plenty at stake in League Two, as well, where Scunthorpe, Chesterfield and Rochdale can secure promotion this weekend, while Torquay must win and hope things go their way elsewhere to avoid dropping out of the Football League.
Our team of reporters will keep you right up to date with all the twists and turns – but join us from 12pm on Sky Sports News HD for plenty of football debate plus big-name interviews and features including:
UNITED CHANGE: David Moyes out. Ryan Giggs promoted to interim boss. It’s been quite a week at Old Trafford since their 2-0 loss at Everton. We’ll review Moyes’ time in charge and what’s next for the club.
NORWICH: With all the focus on United, Norwich travel to Old Trafford on Saturday Night Football desperate for points to boost their survival chances. We talk to Steven Whitaker about their position – and their chances of upsetting their hosts.
SCHWARZER: Liverpool can strike a huge blow in the battle for the title by beating Chelsea on Super Sunday. The man charged with stopping the Reds deadly strikeforce will be Mark Schwarzer, following Petr Cech’s injury. We speak to the Aussie about suddenly being thrust into the limelight.
SUNDERLAND: Black Cats boss Gus Poyet and keeper Victor Mannone reflect on the club’s shock victory at Chelsea which has given the bottom-of-the-league outfit hope of avoiding the dreaded drop.
