Here we are with Week Twenty of the competition and it’s half time here at Golden Goals. The good news is that the English Championship is back in action this week and next weekend, the Scottish Premiership will be back. So once again there is no cash prize money to win this weekend.

Their teams are for James with Ipswich, Manchester City and Sheffield Wednesday. Nick has Manchester City, Middlesbrough and Norwich. Keith has Burnley, Liverpool and Rangers.
