Despite the relatively close positioning of these two sides in the table, it seems pretty clear to us that a home win is the way to go in this fixture. Blackpool are in excellent form at the moment and are finding the back on a regular basis when in front of their own fans. Compare that with a visiting side who have not exactly enjoyed their travels in League One and who struggle to find the back of the net, then the choice appears to be an easy one.
For me football is an easy target sometimes," he told Sky Sports on Tuesday. It's unfair to call on any individual or footballers. I know players do a great amount of work in the community and players are doing a lot to help this situation. Discussions are taking place between players and clubs, what kind of contribution they'll make.
League One Tranmere shocked Premier League Watford in an FA Cup third-round replay to set up a tie against 12-time winners Manchester United. In a game rescheduled from earlier in the month because of a waterlogged pitch, Rovers capitalised on a hugely under-strength Hornets and best navigated a dire, sand-covered Prenton Park surface to finally settle the tie in extra time. Substitute striker Paul Mullin, who came off the bench to score a late penalty at Vicarage Road and complete a remarkable Rovers comeback from 3-0 down to set up this replay, went one better with a headed winner 14 minutes into the extra 30.
Manchester City and Liverpool are both incredible teams in the league and have shown last year how good they were," he added. For us, we know that we are constantly trying to improve and look to close the gap. We're a team that finished ninth over the last two seasons. Leicester next host second-bottom Norwich City on Saturday.
The first 2 games of the season for the hosts were really not that high scoring as they first won with 2-0 away from home at the champions from Klaksvik and than won their second game with 3-0 at home against Argir but their weak opponents had some big chances to score even back then, while next 5 games have been really high scoring on their side losing twice with 4-2 first time at home with city rivals from HB Torshavn a very good game, and second losing 4-2 at Vikingur.
Against Everton he was the player who immediately brought Gylfi Sigurdsson's offside position to the referee's attention, leading to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury-time 'goal' being disallowed - and Maguire was right, of course. But it was also the way the England international practically lifted Fred off his feet and threw the player out of what had the potential to be an ugly confrontation with the referee that really impressed me.
The local nature of the tie should also add to the spectacle. This all sounds very impressive, until you realise that Mirandes have done this before, and in some regards it might have been even more impressive then. Back in 2012 Mirandes, then a third division club, went on an astonishing run that saw them knock out three top division sides in two-legged ties, Villarreal, Racing Santander and Espanyol, en route to the final four.
Hodgson is a vastly experienced manager and it shows. Palace might sometimes have a rough patch because of a lack of goals but they are never going to be struggling near the bottom of the table - he has got them nice and safe. Lawro's prediction: 2-1David's prediction: 1-0Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. How did Lawro do last week?From the midweek fixtures, Lawro got five correct results, including two exact scores for a total of 110 points.

The home side, seventh in the table, are five points off a playoff spot. The away side, third in the table, are seven points off second place with one game in hand. Gimnasia come into the game in flying form, unbeaten in four games with three of those ending in victory. The most recent was the most emphatic, a 5-1 win at Atletico Rafaela.
Leeds is definitely not in a good shape with just 1 win from last 7 matches and that was versus the Birmingham on the road in a wild game which ended with 4 5 win for the Leeds but still they should be able to win today, they are much better squad then the QPR and QPR is team from the heart of the table with a lot of goals scored and conceding, preety unpredictable team which could win or lose to anyone in the whole league but promotion co tender team like Leeds must be able to win games like this

I prefer to take the both teams scoring in this one although the over 2.5 goals bet is also quite a decent option as I expect a totally different game than the one during the normal season here when Beer Sheva easily won with 3-0 in the end, so did Maccabi Haifa defeat 5-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv during the normal season at home and just a few days ago lost 2-1 at home to the same Hapoel Tel Aviv side this while the guests also beat another top side Beitar Jerusalem with no less than 3-0 at home last round.
In recent weeks, Lincoln's goal-scoring problems have alleviated somewhat. The Imps have notched a pleasing eight goals in their last three matches, which given where they were not long ago, is excellent. However, this increase in forward productivity have coincided with an increased in defensive vulnerability. Lincoln have conceded seven in their last three matches, while they're now without a clean sheet in five matches. They were conceding the odd goal before but were generally tough to score lots against.
Sheffield United's outstanding first season back in the Premier League continued as John Fleck hit a late equaliser at Arsenal. The Blades were typically organised and threatening throughout but looked set for defeat when 18-year-old Gabriel Martinelli steered in an opener for the hosts. Arsenal dropped deeper as the game wore on and struggled to create too much, although Nicolas Pepe thought he should have been awarded a penalty after the break.

The derby is in two weeks. Maybe we will have a miracle, but I don't think so. He has a tendon problem in front. We will miss Sergio, we have had some problems with injuries but we will wait for him. Meanwhile, we have Gab and (Raheem) Sterling who can play in that position. We will live without him for a while.
They have however scored in seven of their last 10 matches. In Serie A, Fiorentina are winless in the last five matches. They have no clean sheet in the last seven matches in Serie A while they have managed just three wins in 15 Serie A matches. They have however been consistent in attack, scoring in 11 of their last 15 Serie A matches.
Ed. But Arteta himself will have seen enough of Ozil - having spent time making plans for his downfall with Guardiola - to know what he thinks of the player. In all likelihood, Arteta has already made his mind up on the German midfielder, and his first few team-sheets will be very telling as to what he thinks.
It's hard to know how the change in management will affect either team. It's also hard to know how playing in an empty stadium will affect the home advantage of Incheon. There are many variables that are hard to factor into any prediction that can be made. Yet Daegu's dominance in this fixture leads us to believe that they can start the season with a win.
I'm happy to say that in Callum's case, he has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear," Lampard told the club's website. I'm aware that not everyone can or will recover from this virus, so I urge the football and sporting community to continue to act responsibly and look out for the health of others.
P. S. Ferguson's "hairdryer treatment" dressing-room rants - but also Wayne Rooney's well-documented struggles with hair loss - is cruel, but also a bit inspired. By now we should know he isn't afraid to get personal with ex-team-mates. View more on instagramHarsh. This picture follows a similar creation he put out a few weeks ago, involving his ex-boss and another former Manchester United team-mate, Ji-Sung park.
Staying unbeaten here seems to be likely for Freiburg, which has been much more consistent than Eintracht considering the whole season, because the home team is actually just 4 points away from the relegation zone, while Freiburg is just 2 points far from the European one. Including the game before the Covid break, Eintracht comes from 4 losses in a row and conceded no less than 3 goals in all of those matches, even conceding 5 in the last one vs Bayern. Freiburg has instead conceded no more than a goal in the last 2 games, also stopping a very good team like Leipzig few days ago. Freiburg could even win in my opinion.

Other gay footballers - such as former Aston Villa midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger - chose to come out after they retired.

Shaquille O'Neal is one of American sport's biggest-ever stars. The basketball legend has had his own video game, released albums and even had a go at being a professional wrestler. But on 18 June, he will be in the crowd for a League Two play-off game in Northampton - in cardboard form. A cut-out of the former Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and Orlando Magic centre - complete with a Cobblers scarf draped around his neck - will be in the Northampton Town stands for the club's semi-final first leg against Cheltenham Town.
The club are yet to respond officially. Another interesting element to the recruitment process at Tottenham is that, according to the Daily Mail, Mourinho was not top of the list. In fact, Brendan Rodgers was said to be Spurs chairman Daniel Levy's but he could not be lured away from Leicester. If that is the case, it seems wrong-headed, given that Mourinho and Rodgers could not be more different in their playing and man-management styles.
Pepe does really well to get to the byline, pulls it back for Nketiah, who hits the crossbar from eight yards with a first-time strike. GOOOOOOAAALLLLLL!!! Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle. Great header from Aubameyang breaks the deadlock. Arsenal's top goalscorer comes up with the goods. Poor defending from Newcastle, as Lazaro effectively allowed Aubameyang to have a free header, which he dispatched, on the end of a Pepe cross, with aplomb, into the bottom corner.
His first goal on Saturday was all about anticipation and timing, running adjacent to Son and ensuring he was on hand to deliver the simplest of finishes. His second showcased all of his talents - running power, control, strength and the composure in front of goal to apply the deftest of touches under pressure. While Alli was unable to register his first hat-trick for the club, it was still his first two-goal haul in a home game for Tottenham since January 2017 and ensured he received a standing ovation when he was withdrawn late on.
Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of letting striker Harry Kane leave the club this summer and would not sell to a domestic rival. Kane, 26, signed a six-year contract with Spurs in June 2018. Last month, he said he would not stay at the north London club "just for the sake of it", and there are reports chairman Daniel Levy would be open to selling him for about £200m. Manchester United are long-time admirers of the England captain.

Neymar left Barcelona for the French champions in a world record move in 2017 but his time in the capital has been dogged by reports of unrest. He attempted to force through a move in the summer which led to some fans turning against him at the Parc des Princes. He has scored 16 goals in 19 games for the champions as they have again moved comfortably to the top of Ligue 1, and Barca's great rivals Real Madrid reportedly sent representatives to Paris at the start of the season to meet with him about moving to the Bernabeu.
Les Aiglons have four goals in their last three away games and should be able to convert in this match after their emphatic win last week but with Brest in such good form at the Stade Francis-Le-Blé we're backing this one to finish 2-1 to the hosts. We're also backing Brest to score over 1.5 goals as they have done this in four of their last six home games while Nice have conceded as many in five of their last seven away trips in all competitions.

Ronaldinho, he was the one,” Sterling told BBC Sport. If you see my history on Youtube, I have seen every single clip of his playing career. I used to go into the garden and try to recreate what he’d done, but I couldn’t. I tried to the best to my ability. He was something special. With football likely to remain in shutdown for the foreseeable future, Sterling has been getting his football fix by pulling on a virtual Manchester City shirt and representing the club in ePremier League Invitational Fifa 20 tournament.
What if that were cut radically to, say, 19?" For ESPN, Gabriele Marcotti has some radical ideas on how to fix football. RETRO CORNER On this day in 2002, Diego Forlan signed for Manchester United. You know the story: 27 games to score his first goal, then did start scoring but never really shook off the tag of mild punchline, sold to Villarreal, scored loads, went to Atletico, scored loads and won some stuff, won the Copa America and World Cup Golden Ball with Uruguay, became a legitimate modern great.
Melbourne Victory know that another win could see them jump into the playoff places for the first time this season and they’ll have plenty of motivation coming into the game.
