"A quick look at today's Premier League fixtures. Plenty of intrigue in that lot. Predictions? 12:30 Leeds v Man Utd 15:00 Everton v Brentford 15:00 Fulham v Liverpool 15:00 Newcastle v Crystal Palace 15:00 Tottenham v Sunderland 17:30 Man City v Chelsea Share Time to cast our eyes to the Championship where there's (nearly) a full programme. Leicester host West Brom on Monday night but everyone else is in action today and one of the three 12pm kick-offs features runaway leaders Coventry."
"It's a spicy one as Frank Lampard's men are away to Birmingham in a Midlands derby. The hosts are down in 17th but in the mad world that is the Championship, Birmingham are only nine points adrift of the play-off spots. Coventry have lost just one of their last 10 games against Birmingham although they did lose this fixture 3-0 last season."
"Barcelona are now seven points clear in La Liga while there was an unusual amount of media interest in Strasbourg v Nice? Why? The hosts are managed by Liam Rosenior, the man heavily linked with the vacant Chelsea job. As well as being a Belle and Sebastian song, Jonathan David is now in the unfortunate group of players who have fluffed a Panenka penalty."

Strasbourg v Nice attracted unusual media interest because Strasbourg are managed by Liam Rosenior, who is heavily linked with the vacant Chelsea job. Jonathan David missed a Panenka penalty, costing Juventus a 1-1 home draw with Lecce. The Premier League features several intriguing fixtures today including Leeds v Manchester United and Man City v Chelsea. The Championship has a near-full programme with runaway leaders Coventry visiting Birmingham in a Midlands derby. Coventry have lost one of their last ten against Birmingham but lost this fixture 3-0 last season. Hearts lead the Scottish table by six points.
