EVERY CURRENT TABLE-TOPPER HAS TO WORRY. A LOT!
EVERY CURRENT TABLE-TOPPER HAS TO WORRY. A LOT!
--------------------------------------------------------THE CHAMPS--------------------------------------------------------
BAD BOYS VS SPARKS UNITED!
It all boils down to THIS! Throughout the season, Arun0714's Sparks have been consistently the table toppers. They have NOT EVEN ONCE gone down from the top spot since Round 3! Similar consistency with Bad Boys- after the 4th Round, they have gone down from 2nd spot, to third, only ONCE.
But a recent run of losses and draws means that Sparks, who at one point, had the title wrapped up by the looks of things, are just ONE point ahead of Taimoor08's Bad Boys! And what could be a bigger challenge than facing none other than Bad Boys themselves, that too AWAY from home?!
It promises to be a thrilling encounter, with the two Cup finalists battling it out in ANOTHER final! But this has a small change- it's not a neutral venue. But then, who knows what a wounded lion can do?
There are no injury or suspension worries, except for Bad Boys' defender Marcos Sebas(injured).
Will Sparks get their hands on their FIRST EVER TROPHY? Or will Bad Boys become the FIRST EVER team in LXM history, to win BOTH THE LEAGUE AND A CUP of the same season?!
Time will tell.

Previous result in the League this season:-

STALLIONZ FC VS THE HORNY PIRANHAS
Stallionz are the leaders, and do have a good advantage that:-
(a) they play at home, and
(b)their opponents on this day have a manager who's been absent for a while!
Still, unpredictability of manager-less teams is high, and there are many who have experienced it personally!
Moreover, one of their key strikers are out injured- Alpay Ömer. The Piranhas DO have first choice goalkeeper Nishikant Mishra slightly injured, however...
A win will secure the promotion medal for Stallionz!

HUSTLERS XI VS MIGHTY REDS
Mighty Reds sit just ONE point off Stallionz. Advantage no. (b) mentioned is also applicable here! Hustlers XI manager has not been around for more than 10 days. They need to necessarily win and hope that Stallionz draw or lose their match. It is all very tight, and to the Reds' advantage, they have every player available, compared to the absence of Hustlers' main striker and top-scorer Anurag Parikh.

TOP GUNS VS MANCHESTER UNITED FC
Manchester United sit at the top of the table, and are hanging onto it, only by virtue of goal difference! AND, they face the strongest side, statistically, in their division! Form may favour the away team, but what about availability of players?! KEY mean are out for them- effective striker and joint top-scorer Rafael Taffarel and another joint top-scorer midfielder- Ali Amarbal. Top Guns have a full, fit squad for the match, and may want to sign off for the season with a bang!
No. of wins and draws in history, in matches between the two teams:-
Top Guns-------Draws--------Manchester United FC
0-----------------1------------------------0
Previous result in the League this season:-
2008-05-03----Manchester United FC 0 - 0 Top Guns
BOMBAYA CF VS LEEDS UNITED
Leeds are arguably favourites now, for top spot, and hence promotion! They also play a team who are on a mega losing streak, whose manager has no clue of this match! In addition to this, BOMBAYA have Oscar Evans out injured, and striker Iain Charter suspended. Just one condition seems to be needed for Leeds to guarantee promotion- that Manchester United FC drop points. A win seems to be a surety here for them. The odds are stacked up against the leaders, and it will be interesting to see how the scenario unfolds!
No. of wins and draws in history, in matches between the two teams:-
BOMBAYA CF------Draws------Leeds United

Previous result in the League this season:-

But in the end, only one thing is required for ANY of the current table-toppers- WIN, at any cost! And this being The League of Extra-Ordinary Managers, ANYTHING is possible!
Best of Luck to all of you!
