Now, Basham is a central defender and does not have a reputation for scoring goals so I want to know what he thinks he's playing at? Basham has been outstanding this season for the Blades. I'm still not mad about their style of play but they have unbelievable spirit. Did you know? Only James Tarkowski (81) has made more headed clearances than Basham (80) in the Premier League this season. Cahill: It's not very often I select a centre-back in consecutive weeks but I find myself compelled to with Gary Cahill.
There's a lot of things they have gone really well but we don't compete," continued Arteta. At this level you cannot give those sort of goals away.

It looks an interesting clash. Paks prefer the Hungarian footballer in the team and the peoples like it. They cannot show stable performance but they have got a good season always after a few bad. Puskas Academy sign many player from abroad, although the PM of Hungary want to see the youth player got a gain time. In my opinion the teams run a different goal. The home team will finish middle of the table, but they have got a good record at home, while Puskas want to copy the Mezokovesd Zsory performance, although Henry left the team, who was one of the best player in the Hungarian Premier League. I expect a close game with plenty of goals. My tip: 2-1, 2-2, or 1-2.
We’re confident that AZ will score over 1.5 team goals this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in the visitors’ favour. AZ are the clear form favourites heading into kickoff having won five of their last six matches in league and cup, while Zwolle are struggling in the Eredivisie after suffering four defeats in their last five outings. The visitors have been scoring plenty of goals of late and the hosts have been conceding a lot, which is why we have backed a comfortable away win for AZ.
Tirana comes from a loss away in Durres. Also northern team Vllaznia is beaten away in Laçi . Tirana - Vllaznia is famous for their history the oldest derby in Albania or how we know Albanian Derby. Tirana is focused in every game to take maximum and without their fans will be harder to find the goal. Vllaznia like Tirana it's near of the dangerous zone because the last 3 team go in play out for relegation. I think Vllaznia will be happy for every point no matter 1 or 3. So my prediction for this game is under 2.5 goal. Enjoy my tips

We thought about Ibrahimovic when Ancelotti was in charge, as he would have taken a certain role. Now before thinking about him, I have other priorities, as this is a team that must play in a different system. Allardyce angling for Arsenal job Carlo Ancelotti? Mikel Arteta? Massimiliano Allegri? None of the above would sort out Arsenal's defence as well as Sam Allardyce, according to the man himself.

There is an arrangement that could allow Coventry to again share with Birmingham next season. But, despite having been happy there and making their home in the second city very much 'a second home', Robins makes it quite clear where they would rather be.

Birmingham City, both their staff and as a club, have shown unbelievable class in welcoming us with open arms.
Having taken just 4 points from their last 5 matches, Mark Bowen's troops aren't in good shape and confidence can't be high coming into the game.

In fact, Brighton have lost more home Premier League games (nine) in 2019 than any other side.

Paper Round’s view: United have had no problem recruiting certain players and Ed Woodward has been paying huge sums in wages since the appointment of Louis van Gaal.
