The Easter weekend begins on Friday, and lasts until Monday night when Fulham and QPR kick off at Craven Cottage at 8pm. By then, things should be a lot clearer. Possibly.
1. Theoretically, Friday’s game of the day should not be the team 18th in the Championship against the one 17th. But there will be a lot of interest in Blackburn Rovers v Blackpool.
This is not because it’s a local derby of sorts but because of the shambles that is Blackburn Rovers. This time last year they were still not in the Premier League’s relegation zone. Now they are four points above the Championship relegation spots having taken two points from the last 18 and sacked Michael Appleton along the way.

Battle against the drop: Blackburn are fighting at the bottom of the Championship and next for David Dunn and Co are Blackpool Looking to improve: Despite the form of Tom Ince Blackpool have failed to rediscover the form that took them to the play-off final last seasonThere has been a lot of understandable speculation about Wolves having back-to-back relegations, but it could happen to Blackburn. Their next game is Cardiff away. Blackburn could be having sort-of local derbies with Oldham next season.
2. At the other end of the Championship table, Watford and Crystal Palace will attempt to regain some promotion momentum after each losing their last game before the international break.
In Watford’s case they have lost the last two. Given that, they would probably prefer someone other than harshly-treated former manager Sean Dyche to be bringing Burnley to Vicarage Road. Dyche might just relish inserting another spoke in Watford’s on-loan wheel.
Revenge on his mind? Sean Dyche takes his Burnley side to Vicarage Road to face former club Watford
