Brentford edged towards safety with a win over 20th-placed Sheff Utd. Everton took a hammering to dent their chances of survival, but perhaps more importantly their goal difference. Burnley squandered 3 points after a goalkeeper howler, and Forest held on to pick up a point against Wolves. Luton were predictably beaten away at Man City. All 6 sides involved against each other - a rare occurrence at this stage of the season but will no doubt be extremely decisive. Brentford could create a 10pt gap to the relegation zone and pretty much guarantee survival, whilst Everton play Forest in the first of 3 important home games. 3 of their remaining 6 games are at home to relegation rivals... Luton will be out of the drop zone if they win, regardless of what happens in the Everton/Forest game. And Burnley could close the gap to 3 points with a win and a Forest loss.

Goals galore and some surprise results within - West Ham losing ground after defeat to Fulham, Man Utd the same dropping points at Bournemouth, Newcastle hammering Spurs, Villa breaching a usually-strong Arsenal defence and perhaps the most surprising of all Liverpool losing at home to Palace. The big winners of course in the title race are Man City after predictably smashing Luton. A chance for some teams to gain some ground back due to Man City, Chelsea & Man Utd playing in the FA Cup. And some teams catching up on their games in hand with some midweek fixtures too.

Injuries probably the worse thing today for Everton than result.

It was all over so quickly, not even any chat about it. Barely a foul on Palmer, and absolutely no foul on Madueke.

Where's the foul there?

Great goal by Jackson

Chelsea we're carving through Everton like a knife through butter. Then making a mistake like that just tops it off. But I'm a fan of it as I captained Palmer in FPL.

.

Yeah that's great to read but can you predict in F1 please cos you're letting our team down boy...

Yeah fair points. Gray is acceptable, don't mind that. He's a revelation and you'll be raking it in whenever he's sold. Don't agree with some of the XI either - think Armstrong unfairly misses out (perhaps be in there instead of Rutter) as well as Ricardo for us.

You were on the old TFF forum I'm sure.

You joined in 2018, so neither I was in uni when I joined the initial forum before it became tf365. @Lucas and I joined a few days apart. Looking back I think it was a real sliding doors moment for the forum, we really upped the forum game and put it on the map.

Summerville wins Player of the Season, but Szmodics has been absolutely robbed.

@6666 FYI

That was yesterday. Starting from..... Now!

Discuss.

Excellent stuff. Xabi Alonso has done a supreme job there, knocking Bayern off their perch for at least one season! Congrats to them!

Watkins with a very classy goal.

Saliba and Rice just watching the ball as it goes across the goal.

Villa take the lead! Deserved based on this 2nd half. Poor defending to let it go across the 6 yard box.
