TALKING POINT Arsenal need to act fast. If this was an audition to claim the Arsenal job on a permanent basis, then Ljungberg came up well short. To be fair, the Swede is a managerial novice and it is going to take significant changes at the club to undo a continuing decline. He's picked up one win in five at the helm, but masterminding a victory here was always going to be a tall order.
While Carlisle have struggled against the top sides in the fourth tier, Cardiff have one of the best home records in the EFL. Only two Championship sides have more points at home than the Bluebirds this term, while they’ve hit 19 goals in 12 games here. They have preyed on smaller sides at home this term, with a 100% winning record against sides in the bottom half of the Championship.
But he was also a defender of the highest calibre and was perfectly at home in the top flight, as well as the more nuanced surroundings in Europe. Hunter is led from the pitch after being sent off in a controversial European Cup Winners' Cup final defeat by AC MilanRevie's Leeds should have actually won more trophies than they did but were dogged by misfortune. One such occasion saw Hunter sent off when his frustration boiled over in the closing seconds of the 1-0 defeat by AC Milan in the 1973 Cup Winners' Cup final.
But I couldn't find him so I just went and went. I'm happy to score this goal. Goals galore for Spurs - and finally a clean sheetMourinho's standing as one of the world's leading managers, having delivered trophies at a host of top clubs, has been built on the defensive organisation and stability of his teams. But it was the attacking nature of his new side's performance which again caught the eye, with Spurs producing their most devastating display under the Portuguese to date.
Bruno Fernandes inspired Manchester United to another impressive Premier League victory and deepened Aston Villa's relegation worries. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side continued their impressive recent run, extending their unbeaten streak to 17 games in all competitions, and closed to within a point of fourth-placed Leicester. They had to repel a sharp start from the hosts at Villa Park as Mahmoud Trezeguet's low strike cannoned off the foot of the post.
Moreirense will host Belenenses for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. Perhaps, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, Moreirense have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Belenenses who's is outsiders in this game. Of course, the visitors will have a not be an easy task on the road. Nevertheless, they will try probably try to try all three points or even one point. My pick - Belenenses to win.
Premier League clubs voted in favour of changing the transfer window in 2017, bringing deadline day forward to before the start of the season the following year.

The club's desperate financial straits have prompted chairman Ambrose Rachier to not only make the appeal but to turn to his bonga points as well. These are reserves a lot of people are not aware of," Rachier told BBC Sport Africa. For example, I discovered I had 80,000 points which I've converted into 25,000 Kenya shillings ($235) which I have contributed to the fund. The club's financial problems - which some fans lay at Rachier's door - began late last year when betting firm SportPesa withdrew their sponsorship of the club following a local ruling which raised taxes on gambling stakes.

The match caused a storm of interest, at a time when the “musicians” and “Gelsenkirchen” set the tone in the Bundesliga, competing with “Bavaria”, and now “Werder Bremen” must fight for survival. The team in the last rounds played some productive draws, but couldn’t go on like this all the time, and therefore the defeat away from Gladbach “Borussia” (1: 3) seems fair.
Hertha BSC won with 3-0 at Hoffenheim in the restart of the league last week but at home they have struggled all season with only a 3-3-7 record in 13 matches. And in the 5 Bundesliga home games after the winter break they conceded a total of 14 goals.
Bradford City will host Leyton Orient for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Bradford are more ambitious team in this season. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home field. Also, Bradford is better team in the last mutual matches. On the other hand Leyton Orient is very average team in this campaign. Visitors have highly variable results. Also, Leyton Orient is not very good team away from home - 1 win and 4 losses in their last 5 matches. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.

Having slipped to 12th in the standings after a run of three defeats in their last three games, Howe called for more consistency ahead of Tuesday's trip to 11th-placed Crystal Palace.
Michel Der Zakarian's Montpellier side have been putting together a great run of form recently with them now unbeaten in their last seven games in all competitions with three wins along the way. They've scored 14 goals and conceded eight in this time making it a great viewing for the neutral but despite the leaky defence, fans are ecstatic that their team currently sit 6th. They have been brilliant to watch recently with goals coming from all corners of the pitch but primarily from their front three of Andy Delort, Gu00e4etan Laborde and Florent Mollet. The trio have been on fire recently and have had a direct hand in nine of Montpellier's last 14 goals and will be looking to keep that up against the champions.

It was fourth time lucky for Mikel Arteta on Wednesday as he clinched his first win as manager of Arsenal, comfortably beating a shambolic Manchester United side 2-0 at the Emirates to end their five match winless streak.
He has a talent for receiving the ball. He was at the base of our midfield, did everything perfectly. The minute we changed it and put him higher up, he instantly changed, took on board the information and did brilliantly as well. Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League but only have an eight-point lead over 10th-placed Arsenal, having played a game more than their London rivals and Lampard believes there is plenty of time left in the race for a Champions League berth.
Certainly better than Julien Faubert. He was a regular for West Ham at right-back without setting the world alight when Real Madrid signed him on January deadline day in 2009. He would make only two substitute appearances for Real - and go viral for appearing to sleep on the bench, although he said he was just resting his eyes. Faubert would spend another three years at West Ham - including in the Championship - before playing for clubs in Turkey, France, Scotland, Finland and Indonesia.
Lampard expects Chelsea transfer decision 'soon' Chelsea may find out within days whether the transfer ban for two windows imposed on it by world soccer governing body FIFA has been lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, thinks manager Frank Lampard. They were sanctioned in February for breaching rules on the international transfer and registration of players under 18.
Hi! It is said that Smolov calls on the Miranchuk brothers to move to the Spanish championship. It would be nice to see three Russian players in one club, but Fedor’s rent will expire at the end of this season and what will happen next is unknown. However, Fedos already managed to notice the difference between Example and the RPL, calling La Liga space. But after the goal, “Real”, the Russian did not show any stars, but we expect this from him in every match. Contrary to statistics, I believe that we will have an exciting and successful attacking football.
Odds are excellent not only on taking the away win to happen here but also for taking the DNB on the guests with odds being 1.80 at this moment, and I say this despite the fact that Bolton U23 got their only win so far this season from 15 games played from which they lost 13 of them away from home at Sheffield Wed where they won 4-2 the game, but they are just 1-1-13 in the league clear bottom of the league with the big team also likely to be dropping in the 4th league level at the end of this season.
The defeat is another costly one for Howe's side, who remain 16th in the table, two points above the bottom three but having left the door open for the two teams below to overtake them. There is a big job ahead," added the Cherries manager. We create our own destiny - not VAR, the referees or the studio.
Good results from Rotherham lately made them league leaders with 53 points won by them so far this season but still need more points to assure they finish at least in the top 2 places and promote directly to Championship for next season, but current form is very good for them only problem for them is their opponent with Lincoln despite losing 3 games in a row right now, they defeated Rotherham 2-0 in the league away from home and 3-0 at home in the EFL Trophy Cup but that game Rotherham used many reserve players, still good performances from Lincoln when Rotherham is their opponent.
But they’ll have to go some to beat this stylish, natural, commanding performance. Look at Roy Keane’s face. Look how much fun he’s having. HAT TIP Dust off the guillotine, comrades.

West Ham, who had enjoyed a 12-day rest ahead of the Christmas programme, took the lead against the run of play in the 57th minute when Robert Snodgrass curled home left-footed. Palace reacted impressively though and equalised 11 minutes later when Ayew nodded down for former West Ham midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate to volley home from close range.
It's still tight at the top of the Bundesliga with only six points covering the top six. Bayern are in top form though and deservedly favourites to win another title. They are scoring plenty of goals and take on a side that concedes on a regular basis at home. Bet on Bayern to win this game and be ahead at both half and full time.
A three-person panel appointed by governing body Football Federation Australia (FFA) said on Thursday it had found no bias behind the January dismissal or any existence of a reported "lesbian mafia" that wanted Stajcic out of the job. The panel's chairwoman, Diane Smith-Gander, said on Friday Stajcic was not interviewed as part of the review.
It took the hosts just eight minutes to open the scoring when Antoine Griezmann chipped a finish into the back of the net after Dani Rodriguez had come close to opening the scoring for the visitors at the other end.

All things considered, we feel backing Hibs on the Draw No Bet line is the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. There's a reason 10 points separate the two in the table and we fancy the visitors to run out 2-1 winners; the same scoreline they won by during their last visit to Tynecastle.
Chelsea were 3-0 up inside 20 minutes, in front of a crowd of 4,000 at Meadow Park, in the battle between London's top two teams. Bethany England curled in the opener from the edge of the box after 10 minutes, her 15th goal of the campaign, and the unmarked Kerr headed a second three minutes later to open her tally since joining in November.
Watford continued their resurgence under new manager Nigel Pearson as they made it three wins from their last four games with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Aston Villa earned just their second away win of the season with a 2-1 success at Burnley, who have now lost six of their last eight games.
I just accepted it, moving deeper. It happened before I retired with England, I was a bit of a liability in midfield because the only thought in my head was to score goals. Sometimes, especially in Europe, we were getting overrun and I was getting destroyed. It must have been a nightmare for Roy Keane alongside me. Sir Alex said I want you to sit. I remember thinking, 'what’s the point of that'. In my first big game I think I got into their box once but the manager pulled me and said that was brilliant, you played the position properly.
West Ham were fifth in the standings in September before a winless run of seven games, including five defeats. The London side are three points above the relegation zone but only five points behind sixth-placed Sheffield United. I came here to try to make a step with this club, to try to fight for a European spot.
Viktoria is one of the better away teams in the league, and if they maintain that form at the home ground, squad would be far away from the lower part of the competition, and relegation zone. Host here is not doing too good here, and they are not unbeatable at their field. This may be match of big importance for the rivals, which could push one of them more to the secure part of the league.
Everton have not kept a clean sheet in their last five Premier League matches. Sheffield United are unbeaten in their last six home league fixtures, winning five. Sheffield United won the reverse fixture of this meeting 2-0 earlier in the campaign. Only four Premier League teams have a worse away record than Everton this season.

Chelsea's 1-0 win over Norwich gives them a big boost in their hunt for a Champions League spot next season. Manchester City's successful appeal against their European ban means the top four in the Premier League will (probably) qualify for next season's Champions League, with the next two (or possibly three) going into the Europa League.

After threatening to push for a play-off place last season, Sutton have not been at the same level this campaign. That's somewhat understandable, given they overachieved last term when taking into account they remain a part-time outfit but the fact they are only 4 points above the drop zone does have to be a concern.
Things will be very different on Saturday. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: Southampton are a team in form and Danny Ings is scoring tonnes of goals for them. Match preview Watford v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)Watford's bounce - or improvement in results - when Nigel Pearson first took charge is well and truly over now. They have only taken two points from their past five league games. I still see signs of a fight when I watch them, though, and they have got a very driven manager who will not let them give up on anything, which is why I would not write them off.
Well the odds are good here and there is good value at this one for sure. Tractor Sazi are by far the better team here. They have much more quality and experience at the squad and are in battle for that 3rd spot and if they want it they have to won matches like this . Nassaji Mazandaran on the other hand are a solid team but nothing more. Most likely their goal was to avoid relegation and they did it and will finish around the mid table this season. That plus quality and experience Tractor is having should come out on surface
