Odds are great for taking the away win to happen here and I say this with Troyes coming really close to promotion to Ligue 1 last season as well and when they played here at Clermont last season they scored no less than 4 goals while winning the game with 4-2 in the end, a easy win it was for them, this while at this moment Troyes is with 38 points on 3rd place, one point behind the 2nd placed club and 2 points away from the league leaders from Lens and the top two places are direct promotion places for Ligue 1 next season.
The Bin Zayed Group, representing UAE billionaire Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was thought to have agreed terms for a takeover at Newcastle last year but it failed to materialise. The takeover would be Saudi Arabia's latest venture into sports investment. Rival Premier League club Sheffield United are owned by Saudi Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who took full control from Kevin McCabe last year.
Portsmouth have a good chance of making it into the ffith round draw. They have recovered from a poor start to their season and are again in the hunt for promotion to the Championship. They host Barnsley who are a league above them but struggling to avoid relegation. Barnsley won away at League Two Crewe in the third round but will find this difficult. Portsmouth can be backed to win or draw this match.
Chelsea are rubbish. I hate ChelseaDaisy May: Is that because you support Fulham?Charlie: No, that's how I think the score is going to be. Daisy May: Really?Charlie: Yes. Jose Mourinho knee-slide. Burnley v BournemouthLike Mourinho, Eddie Howe is going back to his old club this weekend. His Bournemouth side badly need a win, but I don't think they will get one.
The Frenchman joined from Arsenal on an 18-month deal in January 2018. Giroud featured in 27 league matches last term - 20 as substitute - and signed a new contract in May until the end of this season. However, Tammy Abraham has established himself as Chelsea's leading striker this term, the England striker scoring 12 league goals. Giroud continues to feature in international football, scoring four times in six appearances for France this season, and is thought to be anxious to secure regular club football in order to stay in the plans of coach Didier Deschamps.

In the first leg the two teams drew with 1-1. Leicester With a good form this season, it is very likely that Brendan Rodgers wants to have a title with their team and they are very close to doing that. Leicester is a very strong team this season and the opportunity to continue for the home team is relatively difficult. Leicester City have lost in the last 2 rounds in the Premier League recently, but they regained their sense of victory with a 4-1 win over West Ham, and then they have another victory in the FA Cup. I choose Leicester

Even if this is a friendly game, I don't think we will see many goals: both teams are actually playing in the Botswana Premier League and have shown a quite weak attack during this season, with Gilport which has scored less than a goal per match and Morupule having been slightly better. Gilport comes from 3 Under games in a row and hasn't scored more than a goal in all of those matches, while Morupule hasn't even scored any goal in the last 2 matches, which both stayed Under. The last clash between these teams was a 2-0 win for Gilport, so another Under is likely.
Benzema was clean through, but Lopez denies the Frenchman. Big moment in this game. Lei was through! Varane played a pass straight to Darder, who played the ball through to Lei. But the Chinese forward seems to kick the ground. He fluffed his lines pretty badly! Oh dear, oh dear. GOAL! Real Madrid 2-0 Espanyol: And that should be that.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: 2-2Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. How did Lawro do last time?Lawro and his guest, Hot Property host Yung Filly, have both predicted five correct results and no exact scores from the seven FA Cup fifth-round ties to be played so far this week. Lawro and Fillly have both gone for Manchester United to beat Derby 2-0 in the final tie on Thursday, so they will finish level, whatever the outcome at Pride Park.
Of course, it can be difficult to stay on top of 10 games every weekend and if most of your viewing is perhaps two or three live games a week, then a bunch of highlights, you might often miss what a keeper is doing. That is perhaps why Guaita has gone under the radar so much. He does not play for one of the big six or seven clubs and he is not a (young) English goalkeeper which can explain why he is not getting Henderson’s hype.
Phil Neville says there is "plenty to work on" as it was confirmed he will leave his role as England women's manager in July 2021. Neville was set to lead Team GB into this summer's Olympic Games, before taking control of the Lionesses at the Women's Euros on home soil in 2021. But both events have been delayed by a year because of the coronavirus crisis. The Football Association said it wanted the same coach to lead the Lionesses at the Euros and the 2023 World Cup.
Grossaspach and Zwickau will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Grossaspach this season have the following results: 6W, 8D and 18L.

She has given me the thumbs up. The background was red and she said it was just terrible, so I've gone back to the blue. She doesn't muck about, she tells it how it is. That's the best way to be, isn't it? If you scroll to the bottom of this page you can see the finished article. I'm really exploring what I'm doing with paints right now, it is more heavy brush strokes than fine detail. I've taken inspiration from Zinsky.
We want to win a game, but not in this sort of fashion. Abingdon United, who will celebrate their 150th birthday next year, almost went bust last season after off-field issues. It is understood that United's players left their kit behind in the changing rooms upon departing the ground at half-time. After all the problems we had last year we hoped we had turned a corner and could stabilise the club," said Brian Kirk, the club's chairman and secretary, who was not at the game.

After an uneventful first half, Milan scored four unanswered second-half goals having gone 2-0 down to Juve strikes from Adrien Rabiot and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ndombele has largely failed to live up to his price tag since his switch to the Premier League and has at times been scapegoated. Barcelona are lying in wait should the Frenchman decide to call time on his time at Spurs, which could depend on their Champions League qualification. Paper Round’s view: For a plethora of reasons and despite some excellent burst, Ndombele has mostly disappointed at Spurs.
What is fortunate for the hosts is that their fate is entirely in their own hands. Win and they're through to the last-16. Recent matches against both Leverkusen and Juventus didn't go to plan, but Atleti did record a rather convincing victory in the reverse of this fixture, winning by two goals to nil, so they should fancy themselves to do the business on Wednesday. Moreover, they're unbeaten at this venue in the UCL since 2017, winning six out of eight, keeping an impressive five clean sheets.
Kyle Edmund has a good chance here of winning only his second ATP Title on the main circuit. He has been in good form this week and his record against Seppi is an impressive one. He has won four out of five with the most recent being in Auckland last month when winning in straight sets. Seppi's only victory was on clay in Monte Carlo two years ago. Edmund looks in the better form and can get the win here.
PSG are big favorites, but I think Lyon won't lose high. PSG will be missing the key striker Neymar. The Brazilian will skip the match due to a rib injury. His absence is a huge handicap for the coach Tuchel. That's not all as Juan Bernat, Colin Dagba and Thiago Silva are also sidelined for the French champions. In addition, Marquinhos and Ander Herrera are rated as doubtful.

The European Championships which were due to take place in the summer have already been postponed until next year which would clear the way to finish the season and the general consensus seems to be that this is the only fair way to conclude issues around promotion and relegation.
