The second last weekend of the season and its the first genuine "Super Sunday" on Sky sports.
The exciting race to reach the Premiership and stay in the Championship will reach its climax tomorrow, and for the first time Sky's alliterative title for Sunday football will be a fitting billing.
Stoke look set to join West Brom in the automatic places. The real excitement lies in the race for 5th and 6th. Watford are in freefall,whilst Crystal Palace are charging up the table. Wolves and Ipswich will also be full of optimism, and Sheffield United will be wishing the season was just a single game longer!
Southampton appear to be everyones favourites to avoid the drop, but it is hard to see them beating a Sheffield United side wanting to give themselves every chance of stealing 6th place.
For some reason I feel Leicester will snatch at least a point at Stoke. Ian Holloway has his faults, just ask any Plymouth fans, but when it comes to rallying his troops when they are the underdogs, it is hard to think of anyone more adept in that situation.
He will certainly have his players prepared to run through brick walls to avoid relegation, and if they do stay up I'm sure he will have a great press conference up his sleeve.
Something along these lines maybe.............
Classic Holloway

I wasn't expecting the foxes to sack him mind! he got QPR out of that division after 2 seasons, and the first they got to the playoff final. Think that chairman mandaric has issues!!
Holloway must be kicking himself after leaving Plymouth..
Scott.
