Woodgate would be again unhappy with his side's defending as Jonny Howson was dispossessed 35 yards from goal, before Lamela was able to go on a jinking run and flick the ball with the outside of his foot past Mejias from 12 yards. Spurs then wasted numerous chances to kill the match off as Lamela shot over on the turn, Ryan Sessegnon had an effort pushed wide, Japhet Tanganga shot just off target and Lucas Moura wasted a chance from a counter-attack.
Managerless Arsenal's season plummeted to a new low as they were beaten at home by Brighton in interim manager Freddie Ljungberg's first home match in charge. Alexandre Lacazette marked his 100th Gunners appearance by heading his side level after Adam Webster had given the visitors a first-half lead. With the score 1-1, there was frustration for Ljungberg and Arsenal when David Luiz thought he had made it 2-1 with a volley but it was correctly ruled out following a VAR check for offside.
Chorley’s recent improvements have come largely down to the fact that they are now able to find the back of the net on a consistent basis and although they still are not exactly up there with the most prolific in the league, the fact that they have found the back of the net in each of their last eight league matches means that they should be confident heading into this weekend’s fixture.
From an attacking point of view, QPR have looked good for much of the campaign, especially at home. Mark Warburton's men have scored a very pleasing 28 goals at Loftus Road this season, scoring two or more in eight out of 14, while they're also ranked as the fourth-best team in the division when it comes to shots on target for at home.
Two points separate the two teams before kick-off on Friday. Elche is seeking their first victory since the break against their toughest rivals so far. Girona came back with successive 0-0 draw against mid table team Las Palmas last weekend and against Racing Santander. They are not top of their game at the moment. Only two points between them. Elche has 7 draws at home and 4 defeats in 16 matches. Girona has won only three away games this season and totals 5 draws. Girona has no crazy results but remains unbeaten in 5 Matches and has a draw streak. 0-0
The club added that "specialists have advised surgery after further review of the injury. The decision to undergo surgery is not expected to impact the timeframe that the England captain will be sidelined, with the expectation that he will return to training in April. The news is a huge blow for Spurs' top four hopes and leaves them with just Son Heung-min, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura as forward options.

Match of the Day pundits Ian Wright (left), Alan Shearer (middle) and host Gary Lineker (right)And on the pitch things have changed - the new rule which allows five substitutions to be made, but only on three occasions throughout the match - seemed to cause confusion for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta. BBC Sport live text commentator Tom Rostance explains Arteta's frustrations and his dilemma!A lack of home comfortsManagers and players have spoken about how much they miss a crowd at the stadiums and - going by results so far - the lack of home support appears to being having an influence on the outcome of matches.
The Football Association will review the sale of FA Cup broadcast rights related to matches available to watch on a gambling website. Since the start of last season, bookmaker Bet365 has had rights to show FA Cup ties on its website and app. To watch, fans had to place a bet or open an account with a deposit. We will review this element of the media rights sales process ahead of tendering rights from the 2024/25 season," an FA spokesperson said.
The 24-year-old was viewed as one of the best young prospects at Bayern Munich when Pep Guardiola was manager, but he failed to kick on. However, over the past 18 months, his performances have really improved at St Mary's Stadium and his leadership skills could be exactly what that Tottenham midfield is needed.
Gary Rowett’s time at Stoke will probably be best known for clearing a spot at Derby for Frank Lampard. Otherwise, his spell at the bet365 was one the Potters’ faithful want to forget, although they’ve gone backwards without him. Preseason title hopes were dashed as a Premier League squad failed to adapt to the second tier.
With Swansea unbeaten on the road, we see them picking up a result here. However, the Terriers are on the back of a good run too, so we’re backing the pair to split the points. The Welsh side have drawn half of their trips while Huddersfield have drawn more than they’ve won at home this term. Given that record, a 1-1 draw is our correct score prediction here.
European football's governing body Uefa is expected to confirm leagues will be allowed to end seasons prematurely when it meets on Thursday, although similar decisions have already been taken in some quarters. Non-league football from tier three and below has been voided and in Scotland promotion and relegation has been decided on current places in leagues below the Premiership. However, another way of deciding who finishes where would be on points-per-game average, although, in England, that would not change the bottom three and would lead to Bournemouth getting relegated on the slimmest of goal differences.
They will definitely go for Arsenal because they have a soft centre. It was a disappointing result and performance for Arsenal in the Europa League and this game might be too soon to see a big change in performance. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Sonny's prediction: 1-2 Wolves v Sheff Utd (14:00 GMT)Sheffield United have been a breath of fresh air this season and they are great to watch. Wolves, however, have surprised me.
After the break, however, Luton took control and looked by far the more likely to find a winner. James Collins and Danny Hylton both missed good opportunities as the visitors poured forward, while Pelly-Ruddock Mpanzu curled an effort narrowly wide of the post. They eventually found a way through with five minutes left, however, when LuaLua fired a fizzing strike into the bottom corner from outside the box.
The team have drawn six of their last seven games, struggling to find three points but doing enough to avoid the losses that would’ve sucked them further towards the bottom of the table. Last weekend’s draw with Port Vale probably should’ve been a win with Macclesfield missing a host of chances but the game did show their fight, something that Daryl McMahon will be keen they replicate this coming weekend.
Gaziantep and Ankaragucu will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super Lig in Turkey. Gaziantep this season have the following results: 8W, 8D and 10L. Meanwhile Ankaragucu have 5W, 8D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Basel will against APOEL in match UEFA Europe League. My prediction this match could be the won for Basel with margin score is 1 or 2 goals. Basel have great result on last 6 match in qualification due to Basel have won in 4 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, APOEL havealso good result on last 6 match in qualification due to APOEL have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless I think Basel can defeat APOEL on this match due to Basel always win on last 3 match in the home on qualification. Moreover in 1st leg Basel has been defeat APOEL with score 0-3. Surely Basel can defeat APOEL again on this match.
With the hosts slipping down the Serie A standings, there’s obvious pressure on Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti. The former Bayern boss has not won in his last six league games (D4 L2): in his coaching career, only once has he had a longer winless run in the top five European leagues (eight in 1996/97, with Parma). His departure looks likely, but the timing will depend on their form.
Incredible season so far from Leicester with some resemblance to the incredible campaign that they made a few years ago when they won the Premier League against all expectations. Leicester is currently in the 2nd place with Jamie Vardy playing at a great level and scoring goals in almost every game. On this match they will travel to Aston Villa, a team that only won one of the last five games and on this contest we have to go with Leicester to continue the good run of form and get another victory with great value on their 1x2 bet here.

As they so often do, Reims are fancied to win this fixture in low-scoring fashion. Punters can profit by siding with 'Reims to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. Strasbourg's record on the road points towards them struggling against a very sturdy host. While the visitors have struggled for goals on the road, scoring in only two out of nine, the hosts have kept teams quiet, keeping a clean sheet in 50% of their matches. We shouldn't expect Reims to run riot, though. After all, more than three goals have gone in in just one of their ten home games this term, while only two of Strasbourg's away games have involved four or more goals.
Augsburg are in excellent form at the moment with a 4-1-0 record in the last 5 Bundesliga matches scoring 12 goals. At home they have also been productive this season with 13 goals so far. Only 5 teams have scored more goals at home this season.
Sepahan is ranked 2nd in the rankings with 37 points after 21 rounds. But recently, this team is declining in form and no longer be themselves, when there have been steps back in the race to compete for the championship. Specifically, Sepahan only have 1 victory in the last 5 matches and 2 losses. As a result, Persepolis has left 10 points on the chart. This is the first match of the team to receive a comeback after the epidemic break due to covid-19. Welcoming a weak Gol Gohar will be an opportunity for the home team to win and create good momentum after a series of poor results. Gol Gohar is in the thirteenth position on the chart and is only 3 points away from the group holding the red light. However, before the Covid outbreak, the team was in good shape with a series of 6 unbeaten matches in a row.
Aves have only scored 7 goals at home and Portimonese have netted just 5 times on the road, and we can’t see either side scoring more than once this weekend. Over 1.5 goals have been scored in 75% of Portimonense’s away games this season and 50% of those matches have produced exactly 2 goals, so you can understand why we have backed a final score of 1-1 for Saturday’s clash.

As Mo Salah raced on to goalkeeper Alisson's injury-time clearance, held off the chasing Daniel James and rolled his finish beyond United keeper David de Gea, there was almost a symbolism about the celebrations. We're going to win the league" rang around Anfield at greater volume and with greater conviction than it has for years, certainly since Liverpool faltered at the finish under Brendan Rodgers in 2014.
Welsh optimismThe nature of Saturday's draw meant Wales knew they would be in either Group A or B. The latter contained two hosts in Russia and Denmark, plus Belgium, Fifa's highest-ranked nation. Instead, Ryan Giggs' side face Italy, Switzerland and Turkey. That good feeling extended to Wales defender Chris Mepham. So, that was the draw. Now we've only got 195 days to wait until the fun really starts with Italy v Turkey in the opening game.
He picked up his first midway through the first half. SAVE! Sadovsky to the rescue for BGU as he keeps out Vasilyev's low attempt. OVER! From six yards out Khvashchinskiy can only head over, a difficult chance as he was stretching for it. GOAAAAALLL!!! BGU GET THEIR SECOND! That's game over. BGU go on the break, and it's No.
Yeah, because there's no benefit in thinking too far ahead as that's when your focus goes. The manager always says the next game is the most important one of your life and that's why we go into the next game thinking anything can happen.
