There’s something special about a Saturday packed with 3pm kick-offs, and this weekend brings exactly that kind of chaos football fans thrive on.
With several matches unfolding at once, it’s the kind of afternoon where you’re flipping between screens, keeping an eye on scores, and waiting for that inevitable surprise result.

It’s the sort of match where a single moment can swing everything, and you get the sense both teams know it.
Everton and Forest Battle for Breathing Room
Meanwhile, over at Goodison Park, Everton face Nottingham Forest in a meeting that feels heavier than a typical mid-season clash.
Both sides are chasing points that could make a real difference to the shape of their campaigns.
Forest will want to show they can be bold away from home, but Everton rarely give visitors an easy ride.

City, as ever, are expected to dominate, but Sunderland have shown more than once they can step into a huge stadium and disrupt the script.
It’s the kind of pairing that might look predictable on paper but refuses to be dull in reality.
What Comes Next?
