The three other ties between top-flight and second-tier clubs looked the likeliest to offer an upset, as sides flying high in the Championship took on struggling WSL clubs, but they still yielded no shocks. Durham, quarter-finalists in each of the past two seasons, came the closest, taking the WSL's bottom side Bristol City to extra time before bowing out to a Katie Robinson goal for the hosts. Harriet Scott scored twice as Birmingham City, 10th in the WSL, won 3-0 at Sheffield United, while Championship leaders Aston Villa lost 3-2 at home to Hope Powell's Brighton & Hove Albion.
They dominated in the middle, too, even after James Ward-Prowse's move to right-back following Cedric Soares' first-half withdrawal due to injury. And after Redmond opened the scoring with a brilliant finish, they rarely looked back, with Armstrong testing Palace keeper Vicente Guaita several times before eventually beating him early in the second half.
Real Madrid have the superior run here and we don’t expect Valladolid to stop them, especially when we look at their head to head records. Real Madrid have not lost to Valladolid in the last 10 matches and in eight of those, they have scored two goals or more. Valladolid head to this game winless in their last five and without a win in eight La Liga matches. Valladolid have conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10 matches and they are among the least scorers in the league. They face a side with the second-best attack in the league and the best defence. We will go with a 2-0 win for Real Madrid here.
Brighton extend Potter contract Brighton & Hove Albion have extended manager Graham Potter's contract by two years, which will see him stay at the club until 2025, the Premier League side said on Tuesday.

Troy Deeney had put the Hornets in front when he powerfully headed home from five yards out after Gerard Deloufeu's cross from the right. Deeney almost grabbed a second but was denied by an excellent reaction stop from home goalkeeper Pepe Reina.

Fair odds for Belshina Bobruisk on the 1 x 2 full time market seem to be 3.35 and across the bookies we can see them rated at around 3.60, so there is good value on them is various markets.

Belshina Bobruisk is yet to find a win or a draw as they lost their 3 starting games this season. I would say this match will end in a draw or even a Belshina win.
I knew him a little and we will start a new chapter and he was very positive. Arteta also said midfielder Mesut Ozil was a part of his plans despite Ljungberg's unhappiness over the German's conduct during Arsenal's 3-0 defeat by Manchester City earlier this month. Ozil kicked his gloves in frustration after being withdrawn in the 59th minute and Ljungberg said his unacceptable conduct would have prevented him from being selected at Everton had he been fit for the match.
The home side huffed and puffed, but without intensity or conviction, and the tens of thousands of empty seats, well before the final whistle, showed just how comfortable Burnley were. They are now well set to secure another season the top flight; United, meanwhile, are in all sorts. TALKING POINT Is this it? It feel harsh to judge Solskjaer when he's without his best striker and his two best midfielders; when United's owners have denied him the money any manager would need to make the team competitive.

The padre was from Cork originally. Loved his God, his football and his horses - probably, but not definitely, in that order. See when I was 10, he was the priest in Dumbarton where I'm from and he'd say to me, 'You'll play at the top level one day'. And I couldn't get a game in the school team at the time. He was a really good man. A big supporter of mine. So I went to see him. Sean sat in the car and I rang the doorbell.
I predict the away team and the home team will play at full strength in the first round and the second round runs during this match... although both teams always play at full strength in the first half and the second half runs during match time but the home team can always win matches in matches previous... I predict in this match the home team can win this match... the predicted score for this match is 2-0 or 1-0 at the last minute of the match... I hope this prediction can be useful for all of us and can win this match.

You can say that players should be tougher – and I agree with that – but old school management doesn’t work anymore. Mourinho should see that and adapt, but he doesn’t seem to want to go down that road. You can’t call people out in the press. It wasn’t done in my time by managers and you definitely can’t do it today.
Torpedo has the most 0-0 games in the league, and Gorodeja played all their games with under 2.5 goals and never lost by more than one goal difference, in fact they are 2-1-1 on the road, but really not as great a club as their results show as their tactics are very defensive minded, they look to score mostly from set pieces or a lucky rebound in the box and look to defend the lead or the draw like in games like this one against tough opponents from start to finish.

Alisson held his ground brilliantly and forced Rupp to lose his nerve, failing to either shoot or deliver a suitable pass for Teemu Pukki to score, and leaving Allison to intercept. It kept Liverpool's clean sheet - and their unbeaten streak - intact. Did you know? Against Norwich, Alisson kept his 10th Premier League clean sheet of the season, more than any other keeper. Defenders - Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Caglar Soyuncu (Leicester) Toby Alderweireld: In the absence of a clean sheet, and having put the ball in the back of your own net, you have got to do something pretty spectacular to still get in my team of the week.

We've not got the credit we deserve at times. To take this season, and the teams above us, like Brentford and West Brom who are fantastic teams, to the wire is fantastic.

Two of West Brom, Fulham and Brentford are guaranteed to be in the play-offs, but the other two spots are still up for grabs between Nottingham Forest, Cardiff City and Swansea City.
This fixture is synonymous with goals, the net bulging at the mere mention of their names together.

Hoffenheim have the quality to win and Dortmund are inconsistent enough to lose at home. Back the visitors to win in a game in which both teams score.
