The hosts head into this clash fifth from bottom, while Brescia are in the drop zone in 18th place. That means this clash could have a major impact on the shape of things at the bottom. Sampdoria may have had their problems at home of late, but they will target a meeting with a side like Brescia as the perfect chance to start getting results here.
These two sides are facing a fight against the drop, as the pair are inside the bottom six in the table, with only four points between them. Genoa have slipped into the bottom three following a tough few seasons, but they are hoping to turn things around with a victory here.
Manchester United's European Cup-winning full-back Tony Dunne has died, aged 78. Dunne was part of the United side who beat Benfica 4-1 at Wembley in 1968. The Irishman, who joined United as an 18-year-old in 1960, played 535 first-team matches for the club, putting him eighth on their all-time appearance list. He won the FA Cup in 1963 and was part of Matt Busby's title-winning squads in 1965 and 1967.
On the road, they've have been a bit more consistent, though again, unfortunately, it's the wrong type of consistency, as they've now lost four of their last six travelling matches. A lack of goals has also crept into their game away from home. Burton have scored in only one of their last four, which doesn't bode well ahead of a match against a home side that has become tougher and tougher to get the better of.
Despite racing into a 2-0 lead in their second group game against Czech Republic, things did not go to plan for Dick Advocaat's side as their opponents launched an astonishing comeback which was capped by Vladimir Smicer's 88th-minute winner. What a classic. Both the Netherlands and the Czech Republic went on to make the semi-finals. Neither side made it to the final as Greece ruled in Portugal.

Alaves has just 3 losses at home this season and they were tough opponents that came here and won all 3 points, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Sevilla, while Eibar is equal on points with Slaves in the second part of the league table 24 points won by both sides so far this season, just that Eibar is really not that great at scoring goals as for example when they hosted same Alaves side at home despite having more of the ball and more shots they failed to score conceding 2 goals and losing the game with 2-0 in the end.
The form of the two clubs heading into Saturday’s clash only provides more reason to back our double chance bet, as Sunderland have lost four of their last six matches and Coventry have won four of their last six games. The visitors are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions and have only lost one of their last five away games in League One, which only adds further weight to our prediction.
Their easy-on-the-eye football was a welcome addition and early in the season it helped them produce a couple of shocks - most notably when they beat reigning champions Manchester City 3-2 in September. That was City's first defeat since January 2019 and gave the Canaries hope that they could avoid the drop. Ultimately, they ran out of steam but this result will live long in the memory of Norwich fans.
We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half time 'even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open'. But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.

I appreciate Ole's help on that one. Dean has been great for us and we have been great for Dean. I believe it's now just administration with the two clubs. Under the terms of his loan, Henderson is ineligible to play against his parent club when the Blades travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday evening, with Simon Moore or Michael Verrips set to replace him.

I tried to avoid my phone the first three or four days," he said. I tried to take time to really understand what happened and what was going to happen next. But I had a lot of people texting me. For example, I remember Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey, Alan Shearer, who all had really bad injuries as well. It was unbelievable. I spoke with a few players. Seamus was one of them. He had a horrific injury.
He's obviously been in talks for a while. He'll be able to attract players they wouldn't be able to if Ancelotti wasn't the manager. It's a great appointment for them. You need to stroke a few egos from time to time. Ancelotti can do that. Match of the Day pundit Jermaine Jenas on BBC Radio 5 Live: "If Everton are trying to go down that mould and think 'we can go and spend money to create a super team', Ancelotti is that.
They had a strong penalty appeal when Jairo Riedewald clipped Martin Montoya as the full-back was shooting - but after a long delay for a video assistant referee review, nothing was given. It was more of the same after the break and Albion's goal involved some fine football. Bissouma sprayed a ball out right for Leandro Trossard, who volleyed a cross - which Pascal Gross diverted into the path of Maupay, with the forward scoring for a third consecutive game.
Man Utd and Chelsea go head to head for Dembele and Sancho - Paper Round Barca seek stand-in forward for injured Dembele - Setien RFEF rules dictate that if a player is out injured for at least five months then their club can sign a replacement outside a transfer window, as long as they are based in Spain's top two divisions or they are a free agent.
The decision to carry on and allow fans into stadiums has helped the Belarus Football Federation get broadcasting deals with sports networks in 10 countries, including Russia, Israel and India, where fans have been left with nothing to watch. This is an unprecedented situation," said Alexander Aleinik, a federation spokesman.
Try me with a game for the showdown between Hatayspor and Istanbulspor, which meets this afternoon in a showdown in Turkish football. Here, I believe in good chances for the guests to collect at least one point in this show. I think it gets close here, even though the guests are inferior to the paper and the table. However, I do not see the home team as a much better team playing for player, which is why I also believe that odds 1.98 are well paid for not losing. I see value down to odds 1.86 on this game. But I will go for a draw here
I'd have no time for that carry on. United were able to comeback just before half time through another goalkeeping error. New signing Bruno Fernandes advanced at goal before cutting across the ball with a long-range shot, which bent around the outstretched arms of England international Pickford. Keane was similarly unimpressed, saying: "I don’t care if he’s the England number one.
Seventh heaven - the statsSince losing 1-0 to Crystal Palace in February 2016, Tottenham have won each of their last seven home FA Cup matches, scoring 25 goals across these victories. Spurs have won eight of their last nine home games against Southampton (L1), with all games coming in the Premier League - they won 2-1 against the Saints earlier this season. This is the first time an FA Cup tie between Spurs and Southampton has gone to a replay since 1994-95, when Spurs won 6-2 in a fifth-round replay after a 1-1 draw.
Sheffield United will change their entire starting 11 for their FA Cup third-round tie against AFC Flyde on Sunday, says manager Chris Wilder. Wilder said he had planned to name a "strong" team against the National League side but will make changes after his side's festive schedule. The Blades lost 2-0 at Liverpool on Thursday, lost 2-0 at Manchester City on 29 December and drew 1-1 with Watford on Boxing Day.
Ahead of reigning champions Arsenal by virtue of just one goal, this weekend's clash takes on an added dimension with the league shaping up to be one of the tightest in memory. And what with Arsenal riding the pressures as reigning champions, and Chelsea bolstering their challenge with the headline signing of Sam Kerr, attention is perhaps elsewhere – but Stanway believes that City will always be front and centre in the women's game.
Stirling Albion will host Cove Rangers for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Cove Rangers is the best team in the league. They are currently on the 1st place with 65 points. Also, Cove Rangers are in solid shape. They have four consecutive victories. On the other hand Stirling is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 36 points. However, Stirling is a very unpredictable team. Also, Stirling is the best team on the road. Of course, the hosts have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, my pick - Stirling to win.

AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - England manager Gareth Southgate believes his two injured strikers Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford are "on track" in their recoveries but said he would not close the door on a Euro 2020 recall for Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy. Tottenham forward Kane had an operation in January on a ruptured hamstring tendon whilst Manchester United striker Rashford has been sidelined with a back injury.

Paper Round’s view: Whether Guardiola leaves is unclear, given City and his agent brother Per own a football club together. The chances of an appeal reducing the ban to just one season without Champions League football may turn the whole punishment into a damp squib. So maybe the anticipated exodus won't quite happen.

Paper Round’s view: Barcelona’s transfer planning has been knocked out of shape by splurging for Philippe Coutinho and then Antoine Griezmann, without being able to recoup enough costs to balance the books. In the absence of Luis Suarez they want a backup striker, and Perez seems to be the player they are ready to sacrifice for that.
I was not. Maybe you can, but I wasn't and so it hit me full, in my face, and when I've had similar situations you know that it's nice but it's intense as well. I don't feel the pressure too much before it happens - but when it happens the amount of relief shows how big the pressure was before. I was just not able to speak. Usually it's a good moment to have a speech to the players but I was just not able to do it - I was completely overwhelmed, I was crying too much last night.
The Armenian scored the second himself when he ran on to Edin Dzeko's pass and turned a first-time shot under Vigorito eight minutes before halftime. The third came in the 69th minute from Dzeko who beat Vigorito at the second attempt and saw the offside flag go up before the goal was awarded thanks to a VAR review.
Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell added: "While it is important to re-emphasise there is no research to suggest that heading in younger age groups was a contributory factor in the findings of the FIELD study into professional footballers, nevertheless Scottish football has a duty of care to young people, their parents and those responsible for their wellbeing throughout youth football.
MONDAY’S BIG HEADLINES Welcome Mikel For 80 minutes or so in North London on Sunday all was well for those in red. Arsenal were putting in a performance with such intensity that home fans momentarily forgot their irrational hatred of Mesut Ozil and actually applauded him when he left the pitch. Sure it was rather irking not to see Jorginho sent off for a second yellow, and yes a second goal would have been nice, but this is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, it’s a new era.
Liverpool host Wolves on Sunday. The Anfield side have come through a testing period festive period by winning the Club World Cup in Qatar, reaching the Champions League knockout stages and opening up a sizeable lead in the league. Manchester United also held a 13-point lead at the top in the 1993-94 season and finished in that position, eight points clear of Blackburn, and Liverpool's result moved them a step closer to clinching their first league title since 1990.
Under minimal pressure, Kyle Bartley waved his hand at the ball. Perhaps he was trying to scare it away. It didn’t work. Instead it hit his hand, and the referee was watching, and then came the penalty. For a minute, it all looked like it was going to go Full Championship. But back came the Baggies. Matheus Pereira levelled things up, and then shortly after half-time Bartley redeemed himself with a looping header.
With English football suspended until at least April 30, the loss of matchday revenue has hit the clubs hard, especially in the lower leagues. On Tuesday, Birmingham became the first Championship side to ask their players to take wage deferrals, while League Two's Forest Green Rovers said they will use the government's wage-support scheme to keep paying all their staff.
Despite some pleasing attacking efforts, Rochdale suffered defeat on Boxing Day. Once again, Brian Barry-Murphy's men paid the price for being too weak at the back. They scored twice and played some decent football at home to Fleetwood but were simply undone by a lack of defensive strength. If they don't tighten up at the back, then Dale will struggle to do anything other than flirt with relegation.
