It’s been a tough run for Preston, who have fallen from the top two after a four-game losing streak. That poor run has taken Alex Neil’s men outside the playoff spots, but could things be about to change for the Deepdale outfit? They may be on a poor run, but there’s an opportunity to be had when they face Fulham this week.
I love to be here. That's why I continue to train hard. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would not criticise the defender, and said his display would have no bearing on a decision to exercise the option on his contract. He has spoken in the dressing room," Arteta said. David is someone who is very honest. My opinion has not changed from the moment I joined the team and it won't change because of a difficult performance tonight.
Arsenal announced Arteta’s positive test a fortnight ago on March 12, which ultimately led to the halt in the season as his side prepared to face Manchester City. The Spaniard believes he contracted the virus after the team's Europa League clash against Greek side Olympiacos in late February. I am feeling completely recovered," he told Arsenal’s website.
Domestically, things are going significantly better for the hosts, currently 4th in Ligue 1 and for that exact reason, little importance is likely to be given to Thursday's game and they could make numerous rotations to their team in it. Without a clean sheet in any of their 10 home matches this season, whatever side they field will have to try and tighten up defensively if they are to secure any kind of result
It was a deep regret that I could never have a proper goodbye. Arsenal was the biggest club I ever played for. I'm proud that I was an Arsenal player. I'm especially grateful for Arsenal fans who supported me even after I left the club. I wish I can be part of the Gunners family in the future again" Zeroes: Premier League fixture schedulers He’s right you know.

It was no more than Roy Hodgson's side deserved, as they ended a run of seven straight defeats. They matched their London rivals for endeavour and could have snatched all three points, with Scott Dann heading a late effort wide. Palace need more goalsWhile this was a welcome point and performance from Palace, it also perfectly characterised their entire campaign. The Eagles may well have steered clear of the relegation battle but they ended the season with their lowest points tally since Hodgson took charge in September 2017.
The idea of them joining forces has historically been a controversial one, amid concerns that the footballing independence of the individual nations could be compromised. At the Olympics, though, there is no option for those UK nations to compete separately - only as Great Britain. They did not enter a team for the Rio 2016 Olympics because the four national football associations could not reach an agreement.
Although Wolves and Leicester are not 'Big Six' teams, but Wolves and Leicester are two of the most interesting names in the Premier League. At the moment, the "Wolves" Wolves are ranked 9th on the English Premier League, while the position of the "Foxes" Leicester is 3rd - after Liverpool and Man City. Wolverhampton only won 1 of the last 5 matches. They have also been eliminated from the FA Cup and Manchester United Cup by Manchester Utd. This enabled the "Wolves" to completely focus on the Premier League. Leicester also have only 1 victory in the last 5 matches. An interesting similarity of these 2 teams.

The mentality and the fight in the second half was great but our game was not good enough. What was really, really good today was the fans in the stand. It was two easy mistakes and every small chance is a goal at the moment against us. We are all down today. When we talked with the players in the last couple of days, the feeling in the squad you'd say was 100% we would win this game today. The players said they wanted to do well and we had the confidence to play against Hamilton and take our responsibility.
Red Star Belgrade is really the best team so far in Serbia and they will one more time win the title at home. They are played very good in last few months and also played even in Champions league, what was perfect situation for this team, two years in a row. Now, today, rival is Radnik Surdulica, team from Southern Part of country, small team who will not have any chance in Belgrade. Red Star is prepare to celebrate new title after this match, so it is logical to expect their very good match and a lot of goals, it is clear.
I am also finishing more tired because I know we are about to enter a very stressful period - in fact, we're here already - when we are going to have to make absolutely sure that we take care of all the details and arrive back in the best possible condition. As regards the five changes rule now in place we have an idea as to what we are going to do. It's true that with smaller teams such as ours your options are perhaps somewhat reduced by the fact that there is more of a difference between those players who usually start and those who don't.
Half of Dordrecht’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and the average amount of goals scored per home game is 3.80, which ties in well with our final scoreline prediction of 2-1. 70% of Excelsior’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals which is partly down to the visitors only keeping clean sheets in 30% of their away games, while the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 10% of their home games.
On paper, both sides could have problems against each other here. Starting with the hosts, they’ve had an average campaign which has been reflected in their results against half-decent teams. Phillip Cocu’s men have won just one of seven meetings with sides in the top half at home. Meanwhile, in 13 clashes with top 12 teams overall, the Rams have just two clean sheets.
Paper Round’s view: Bendtner is clearly no fool, and he had the footballing talent to break into Arsenal’s first team squad as a teenager. His problem is one of application though, and now that he is moving towards the end of his career he may be able to find some discipline and focus to develop a more successful second stage of his life.
After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made — until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs. I know how I feel. If any of my family get infected through me because I’ve had to play when it’s not safe, and they get seriously ill, I’d have to think hard about ever playing again.
By the end, Emery had found an almost Moyesian or Hodgsonian ability to irritate supporters and betray a lack of understanding of the culture of the club with his public statements. After a 1-1 draw against Vitoria in the Europa League at the start of November, he made the bizarre claim that “Offensively, this team [Vitoria] is very organised and it’s not easy to have a lot of chance.

The Hatters have won three of their past five but, like Barnsley, they are still five points adrift of safety. Also looking more upwardly mobile are Huddersfield. Back-to-back wins against Bristol City and Charlton have given them a four-point cushion over the bottom three, but their next two fixtures see them head to Elland Road to take on Leeds before hosting Wigan on 14 March. Is there room for another twist in this tale?More teams could potentially find themselves drawn into the relegation picture before the end of the season.
I have the feeling United started to play the way he wants. Guardiola will look to ensure his team is not vulnerable to counter-attacks as they were when United duo Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial carved out an early lead at the Etihad Stadium last month. I think we conceded few counter-attacks in the beginning and in just two-three seconds they're in the box.
Twenty-three third-round matches were available to watch on Bet365 last weekend - all those that did not kick-off at 15:01 GMT on Saturday. The FA announced it was cutting its ties with gambling firms in July 2017, but this deal was done in January 2017. The FA agreed a media rights deal with IMG in early 2017, part of which permits them to sell the right to show live footage or clips of FA Cup matches to bookmakers.
Lampard said: “As you get to the cut-throat stages of this competition you can’t afford to be missing some of the chances we missed in the group stages. With Eden Hazard leaving we lost a lot of goals and creation in his position. I think we can probably strengthen and get more competition in those areas.

Berlin Derby is knocking between Table Tennis Borussia against Hertha Zehlendorf. This match will be explosive because the winner has the better chance to gain promotion to Regional league. The host has 28 points from 12 matches, scoring 39 goals against 10, winning in all 9 matches, 2 draws and 1 game lost. Both teams are hot and the form speaks for both teams, although the form of the visitors speaks louder than the host which will make the game more exciting because no one have home advantage here because the stadium will be 50-50 full for both teams. I go for goals here.

From a betting point of view, this isn't the most appealing fixture, there can be no denying that. Those who are looking to get involved can try 'Both Teams to Score – NO', which appeals more than most. MK Dons have failed to score in 50% of their home matches, while both teams have scored in just 36%. Moreover, MK Dons rank as the second worst team in terms of shots on target at home, averaging just 2.82 per game. Portsmouth haven't done too much better on the road, as they currently sit 14th, while the visitors are also the best when it comes to conceding shots on target away from home. They've shipped an average of just 3.11.
Ljungberg's first match in charge will be at Norwich on Sunday, with Arsenal in ninth place, eight points off the top four. First and foremost, Freddie has Arsenal DNA," Kroenke, son of Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke, said. Obviously he was a player here for a number of years, the supporters know him very well and he's worked diligently behind the scenes for the past several years. My message to Freddie and the players was let's get back to basics and most importantly let's get back to having some fun.
The Italian top flight introduced the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system in 2017-18 but it has received criticism from Serie A managers who feel technology should take a second look at controversial decisions made by on-field referees. Napoli and Parma fumed over VAR last weekend for wrong calls made by the referee after they were not awarded penalties and the FIGC believes managers should be allowed to challenge decisions, much like tennis players do with close line calls.

WAIT. NON-PLAYING STAFF? Yes, that’s right, all three clubs will continue to pay their players and management teams in full during this period. HMMM. You’re right to be sceptical; the clubs are amongst the richest in the world and a lot of the players are paid in the millions per year, yet there has been no pay-cut announced for them yet.
Football's biggest carbon emitters Air travel by the top 20 footballers nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or was responsible for producing 505 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year alone, according to a climate change researcher. Andrew Welfle, from the University of Manchester, said governing bodies and teams must combat climate change by curbing air travel and finding alternative methods for their frequent flier players to reduce CO2 emissions.

This is a very interesting game for today from Belgium. Hello everyone here. I want to give you prediction about this game and will think there is good reason to this bet. Gent are second of the league and I think they have not chance to take first place. They have five or six games without lose or draw and now is time to lose points here. Anderlecht are on the middle of the league and for them this game is just chance to show them how to play. That's why I will take draw here and maybe correct score 1:1.
Burnley boss] Sean Dyche is a brilliant manager. From the first day he walked in [Trippier played for Burnley from 2011-2015, initially on loan] he sorted my career out basically. From when I was young, stupid and going out, he just sat me down and said 'no more'. Unbelievable manager and I loved playing for him and, who knows, one day I might get the opportunity to play for him again. I can improve on my defending'"In the Premier League, I was too eager to get forward.
No Championship side has scored fewer goals this season than Wigan (24), scoring more than once in just two of their last 12 games. However, they are still getting on the scoresheet. The hosts have found the net in eight of their last nine home matches, while this weekend sees them face off with a Bristol City defence who are looking incredibly poor.
Newcastle Jets will be meeting with the away team Melbourne and this game we have given it an under of 4.5 total goals as looking at the last game this two teams have played together they are not used of scoring an over of 4.5 total goals
Newcastle United were the first Premier League club to place their non-playing staff on temporary leave and Norwich have also put staff on the job retention scheme. Chelsea have also outlined that they will credit season ticket holders for any games played behind closed doors for the remainder of the season and reimburse those who had booked non-refundable travel to the postponed Champions League tie at Bayern Munich last month.
Arsenal have only won three of 17 games against the other five teams in the traditional top six. Gunners supporters will be thankful for strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, who have scored 42% of Arsenal's goals under Emery. In truth, though, they were masking the problems. Strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette scored 42% of Arsenal's goals under EmeryNine skippers and losing the dressing roomAt a time when the team appear to have been screaming out for leaders - Keown said Emery "seems to have lost the players" - there have to be questions about Emery's decision to appoint a captain by committee and fielding nine different skippers.
Asked his thoughts on the draw, Southgate, who played in England's Euro 96 squad that reached the semi-finals, said: "I'm never sure whether it's a good draw. We have played two of the teams before and for us to play at Wembley is something special. We know the quality of (Croatia's) midfielders. That's a top-level fixture.
Puskas had let himself go somewhat. I can't play, I'm too fat," he told his Real suitor, Santiago Bernabeu. Real signed him anyway. His four goals in the final were like salt rubbed into a wound in more ways than one. Six years before, after his Hungary team had lost the World Cup final to West Germany, he had accused his opponents of doping. Even though he later retracted the comments, he wasn't forgiven.

We’re confident that Club Brugge will win to nil on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites but have been playing at their very best of late. However, Oostende head into this match in terrible form and have struggled to score goals this month, which is why we have backed the home side to win and keep a clean sheet on Thursday.

Only two other teams have gone a year unbeaten in the Premier League -- Arsenal's so-called invincibles in 2003-04 (a run of 49 Premier League games) and Chelsea (40 matches) from October 2004 to November 2005. Since that City defeat, Liverpool have won 32 of their 37 league matches, averaging 2. They are 13 points clear of Leicester City having played a game less and those desperately seeking a chink in Liverpool's armour appear to wasting their time.

Despite suffering three defeats in their last five away days, Motherwell has done well to score at least once in four of those matches, although they've only scored once on three occasions. Moreover, the Steelmen have scored in six of their eight away ties so far- failing to score against Livingston and Celtic.
Saint-Maximin: It's really important for me [to volunteer at a food bank] because I know where I come from. I wasn't born with money or a big car, I was born with nothing. Even if my parents were in a good situation they would always say 'you have to go and get everything, even if I could give you money and nice things I won't because you have to understand that life is difficult'. I know I have to take care of people sometimes.
Free-scoring Atlanta were already 3-0 ahead when they won a freekick around two metres inside the Torino half in the 53rd minute. Two Torino players backed away and Ilicic, seeing Salvatore Sirigu off his line, floated the ball over the startled goalkeeper and into the net. The Slovenian opened the scoring in the 17th minute, scoring from close range after Jose Palomino won and rolled the ball across the face of the goal.
