👋 17:15 - THAT'S THAT!

That's all from us on what has been a highly entertaining evening across all four divisions. We've had a few winners, most notably the Sporting Life Accumulator, and will have our fingers crossed for the late games. Make sure you check sportinglife.com/football for our tips for the 19:45 game and tomorrow's Super Sunday clash. We'll be back the same time next week, thanks for joining us!


17:08 - CHELSEA V MANCHESTER CITY

Of course, the biggest game of the day in the Premier League comes at Stamford Bridge in 20 or so minutes time. George Pitts has a look at the betting for this one.

17:04 - READING V SHEFFIELD UNITED

Right on to tonight's games. Heads up, Yakou Meite isn't in the Reading squad - he must have picked up an injury beforehand because he is a regular - so that 12/1 isn't one to back. If you have, don't worry, you get your stake back. I like the look of the 10/1 shout available though so still worth a read!
