In Across the Leagues EXTRA today:

• You can enter your weekend predictions now…
• Saints go marching on…
• Big games on the schedule…

Last week’s Stat Attack pointed us in the direction of Southampton in the Championship…

After coming from behind to beat Derby County last Saturday (2-1), and then crushing Blackburn 3-0 on Tuesday night, the Saints have extended their winning streak to seven games in all competitions. And they’re now unbeaten in 18…

What started as a run into the playoff places has now developed into a charge for automatic promotion:

Southampton are into 4th place and are now 11/8 (2.38) for a Top 3 Finish (Bet365). On 20th January, before that current unbeaten run began, Saints were 28/1 in that market.

Evidence there that momentum counts for so much at this stage of the season…

In the Premier League, we have some potentially hugely significant games coming up this weekend…

Leeds v Wolves, Tottenham v Brighton, Forest v Burnley, and Palace v West Ham, could all have massive ramifications in the relegation fight…

At the top of the table, In the title race, Man City v Arsenal has rightful billing as the biggest game of the season so far…

While the first Merseyside derby to be held at Everton’s new stadium could have a big impact on Liverpool’s ambitions to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

There’s all to play for, and that makes the upcoming fixture list very exciting indeed…
