In the English football championship, six matches will be played today. All of them start at 17:00 Lithuanian time. Let's take a look at the standings and the importance of the matches.
(0:0 after the first half)
The middle-of-the-table clash between two average teams doesn't hold much significance. Everton, currently in 13th place, trails by five points from 12th place, so their chances of moving up are slim. A win for Blackburn would secure their place in the mid-table, protecting them from relegation.
(1:0 after the first half)
Charlton players must win today to keep their faint hopes alive for a 4th place finish and qualification for the Champions League next year. Currently in 7th place, they are only 2 points away from the desired 4th spot. Fulham, positioned in the middle of the table in 10th place, shouldn't be underestimated in this match. However, a loss could see them drop several positions in the standings.
(0:1 after the first half)
This is a crucial match for both teams. Leicester is currently second to last and a win is essential for their survival in the league. If Leicester were to lose, it would be very difficult for them to fight relegation. Manchester City's position is slightly better as they are in 17th place, guaranteeing them survival. However, the difference between these two teams is only 2 points. A win for Leicester would see them move up, while complicating things for Man City.

Another important match. Old Trafford stadium was rigorously inspected before this match. Liverpool must win this tough match today. Although they are in fourth place, Newcastle has the same number of points and has played one game less. Man Utd still has a chance to fight for second place. Despite Chelsea's 6 point lead, the Red Devils have played one game less.
(1:1 after the first half)
Aston Villa is another team that needs a win to compete for 4th place. They are just 1 point behind, but are currently in 6th place. Middlesbrough also has the potential to compete. Currently in 11th place, a win could see them climb to 7th position with the right results in other matches.
(1:0 after the first half)
A loss for either team wouldn't be a tragedy. Even though they are in the middle of the table, a loss could see them drop a few positions. However, they are unlikely to fall into the danger zone that guarantees relegation to a lower league. Knowing that both teams are only participating in these matches, we can expect them to fight with all their might.
