Match Report - Accrington vs Burnley | 24 Aug 201

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 07:01

Burnley could make changes from the team that beat Liverpool on Saturday<br />
<br />
Burnley boss Sean Dyche is expected to make changes for his side's clash with Accrington in the second round of the EFL Cup.<br />
<br />
Other than Ashley Barnes, who is back running following a hamstring injury but not yet ready for a first-team return, Dyche has a full squad to choose from.<br />
<br />
Full-back Jon Flanagan is available after being unable to face parent club Liverpool at the weekend, while the likes of James Tarkowski, Tendayi Darikwa and Michael Kightly are pushing for their first appearances of the season.<br />
<br />
This will be the first meeting between these two sides.<br />
<br />
Stanley have never beaten Premier League opposition in any competition (D1 L3). They also lost on penalties following the solitary draw, against Watford in the League Cup in September 2006.<br />
Highlights of the EFL Cup match between Accrington Stanley and Bradford City<br />
<br />
Liverpool, Swansea and Middlesbrough to struggle in EFL Cup, says Charlie Nicholas<br />
<br />
Burnley have failed to score in their last three League Cup games. They have never gone four games without a goal in the competition.<br />
<br />
Accrington have never progressed past the second round in League Cup history.<br />

Bradford City v Millwall: Preview

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 12:30

Bradford manager Phil Parkinson believes his side's big-match experience in recent years gives them an advantage in their Sky Bet League One play-off showdown with Millwall.<br />
<br />
The former Charlton boss already has experience of leading the Bantams to success in the League Two play-offs in 2013, just weeks after taking the Yorkshire team to Wembley in the League Cup final against Swansea.<br />
<br />
Parkinson was also keen to point out that good results against league rivals could help his Bradford side psychologically ahead of the two-legged tie.<br />
<br />
He told Bradford's website: ``I feel that the Walsall game (a 4-0 win last month) in particular was a great practice for us.<br />
<br />
``After only getting one point from two away games, we had teams trying to catch us for the play-offs and it added that little bit of extra pressure to the game.<br />

Derby vs Hull City - Preview, Live Match | 14 May 2016

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 05:08

<br />
A place on the bench is likely to be Meyler's best hope, though, after City impressed in his absence during last week's dress rehearsal, a 5-1 win over Rotherham United. Bruce appears unlikely to make alterations to a side that hit form on the final weekend and faith will again be placed in City's experienced stars.<br />
<br />
<br />
Mo Diame will be given the role of supporting Abel Hernandez, but also dropping deeper to make the Tigers a 4-5-1 without the ball. Bruce has no fresh injury concerns for the trip to the iPro Stadium and will have decisions over the make-up of his bench. One of Adama Diomande, Sone Aluko and Chuba Akpom will miss out. Nick Powell (hamstring) is the only definite absentee.<br />
Key battle - Will Hughes v Mo Diame<br />
<br />
HULL City have an undoubted match winner in Mohamed Diame and Steve Bruce will be hoping tomorrow sees his creative talisman come good on the big stage.<br />
<br />
Diame has blown hot and cold this season but showed promising signs in last weekend's 5-1 rout of Rotherham, linking up well with Abel Hernandez and City's overlapping wingers.<br />
<br />
The 28-year-old is capable of special things in possession, yet his duties will also extend to cramping Derby County and their pretty, ball-playing midfield.<br />
<br />
Will Hughes is expected to play as the holding midfielder in the absence of the injured George Thorne and closing off the avenues out of defence will be vital in helping City control the game.<br />
Derby overview<br />
<br />
THERE were shades of Hull City's campaign as Derby promised so much before eventually falling off the pace to settle for a place in the play-offs. Derby's disastrous spell came in January and February during an eight-game winless run that cost Paul Clement his job and effectively ruled out a top-two challenge. Darren Wassall steadied the ship, winning eight of the final 15 games, but none of their last three matches ended with victories. Last weekend's 1-0 loss at home to Ipswich was particularly flat. Progress, of sorts, has already been made after clinching a top-six finish on the back of last season's capitulation but an expensively assembled squad has greater ambitions.<br />

Sheff Wed vs Brighton - Preview

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 12:12

<div class="preview_day_wrapper full-width">
<br /></div>
<b>Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton Hove Albion face each other in the first leg of their Championship play-off at Hillsborough this Friday evening, as they battle for promotion to the Premier League</b><br />
<br />

The home outfit, led by manager Carlos Carvalhal, finished in a healthy sixth position with 74 points, however recent form of one win in five matches does not bode well for the Owls coming into this clash.<br />

However, a storming mid-season run which saw the Owls lose only three times in 17 games meant the Hillsborough faithful will be now welcoming a shot at the play-offs.<br />

The partnership of Gary Hooper and Fernando Forestieri has propelled Wednesday to the brink of a Premier League return, with the dynamic duo scoring 28 league goals between them this campaign.<br />

After a long and gruelling 16 years away from England’s top tier, the club could pay back some of the despair that the supporters have had to suffer since the millennium.<br />

A disappointing final performance of the season – a 2-1 loss against mid-table Wolves was not the ideal result leading into the huge crunch match on Friday night.<br />

Chris Hughton’s Brighton side have enjoyed a fabulous campaign – they were unlucky to miss out on automatic promotion after finishing behind second-placed Middlesbrough on goal difference after failing to get the win they needed at the Riverside Stadium last Saturday.<br />

To finish on 89 points and not seal promotion to the top-flight will be a kick in the teeth for a team who flirted with relegation last season, but they will be in confident mood as they are currently on a 20-game unbeaten run.<br />

Historically, the Seagulls fail at this hurdle – they have twice been defeated in the play-offs, three years ago against Crystal Palace, then again a year later by Derby County.<br />

Not a single goal was scored in the two previous league encounters between the two teams in November and March – nevertheless Brighton’s recent form makes them the favourites to get to Wembley.<br />

Middlesbrough FC vs Brighton preview

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 03:53

Middlesbrough FC will secure a glorious promotion to the Premier League on Saturday if they avoid defeat against third-placed Brighton at the Riverside.<br />
<br />
It's a winner-takes-all shootout at the Riverside between Boro and the Seagulls, but Aitor Karanka's side know a draw will be enough to return to football's top table next season.<br />
<br />
In front of a sell-out crowd, Aitor Karanka's side can end their seven-year stay in the Championship with a positive result - but it won't be easy against a Brighton side who could themselves clinch promotion to the top-flight for the first time.<br />
<br />
Either side could yet win the Championship crown outright, should Burnley drop points at Charlton, and the pressure couldn't be any greater given the £170m prize on offer to the winner of Saturday's match.<br />
<br />
After 45 games and a gruelling nine months, it all comes down to the next 90 minutes.<br />
<br />
Here's a preview ahead of Saturday's 3pm showdown.<br />
Likely line-ups<br />
Team news - Boro hopeful over George Friend<br />
<br />
Boro are hopeful that left-back George Friend will be fit and available to start Saturday’s pivotal promotion showdown.<br />
<br />
The defender has been sidelined with a hamstring complaint since the 1-1 draw at Burnley, but has been training this week and could be in contention.<br />
<br />
    Team selector Pick your Boro XI to face Brighton<br />
<br />
That’s the only selection issue for Aitor Karanka ahead of the game, with the rest of the first-team all ready to play.<br />
<br />
Brighton will be without key defender Lewis Dunk (suspended) after his red card against Derby last time out.<br />
<br />
Solly March (knee), Uwe Hunemeier (groin) and Bobby Zamora (hip) are all long-term absentees.<br />

Preview: Charlton Athletic v Burnley

Unknown 0 English League Championship. 03:47

Burnley head to The Valley looking for a win that would secure the Sky Bet Championship title.<br />
<br />
Sam Vokes’ header in the 1-0 win over QPR saw them promoted back to the top-flight at the first attempt at Turf Moor.<br />
<br />
A remarkable 22-game unbeaten run is still in tact and should they beat the Addicks it will be half a Championship season.<br />
<br />
They come up against an already-relegated Charlton Athletic side who will be looking bow out of the season on a high after troubles on and off the pitch.<br />
<br />
Johan Berg Gudmundsson scored for the second successive game in their 1-2 win over Leeds United last time out.<br />
<br />
In the reverse fixture at Turf Moor, a Scott Arfield double and goals from Andre Gray and Sam Vokes secured a 4-0 win.<br />
<br />
(Last five games in all competitions)<br />
<br />
Charlton Athletic: LLDLW<br />
<br />
Burnley: WWDWW<br />
<br />
Academy graduate Jordan Cousins has been a bright light despite relegation to League One. The 22-year-old retained his Player of the Year award on Sunday evening, becoming the eighth man in the club history to retain his crown.<br />
<br />
The midfielder has made 38 appearances for Jose Riga’s side and boasts an impress pass success percentage of 79.4% as well as picking up 2 goals and 1 assist.<br />
<br />
Having grown up a Charlton fan, the Addicks will be hoping they can keep hold of one of their star men for a promotion tilt next season.<br />
<br />
<br />
Burnley (Arfield 42’, 53’, Gray 55’, Vokes 78’) 4-0 Charlton Athletic<br />
<br />
Burnley: Heaton; Lowton, Duff, Keane, Mee; Boyd (Taylor 82), Marney, Barton, Arfield (Kightly 82): Vokes, Gray (Hennings 80).<br />
<br />
Subs: Gilks, Ward, Darikwa, Jones.<br />

Team News<br />
<br />
Dean Marney remains the only injury doubt for the promoted Clarets, and although he trained on Thursday, his fitness will be assessed closer to the trip to the Valley.<br />
<br />
<br />
Referee Roger East will take charge of the Clarets final Sky Bet Championship clash against Charlton Athletic on Saturday (12.30pm).<br />
<br />
The Wiltshire official has refereed 36 games so far in the current campaign, issuing 104 yellow cards and 2 red cards in the process.<br />
<br />
One of those fixtures was Burnley’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Arsenal in January. Just two players were booked that day; Laurent Koscielny and Scott Arfield.<br />
<br />
Mr East will be assisted by Mr Derek Eaton, Mr Andrew Garratt and fourth official Gavin Ward at The Valley.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sean Dyche: “We spoke about it as a group at the beginning of the season, again in November, January and March that our aim was not just promotion to win the league.<br />
<br />
“We’ve got a great chance to do that now we’ve parked the first part of the job which is to get promoted and that is the massive part.<br />
<br />
“We’ve earnt the right to be where we are. The lads have had a couple of down days, rightly so after all their efforts to get to where we’ve got to, and I reminded them this morning we want to go and win it now.<br />
<br />
“We’ve got to make sure we’re about our business to get what we want.”<br />
<br />
Jose Riga: "We know the quality of Burnley but we are part of the last suspense of the season and even though we already know our fate, it is a good thing.<br />
<br />
“Hopefully we can compete and then it is about Burnley doing the right thing to get what certainly they deserve already.<br />
<br />
“But I want to see my team at the best level of course.”<br />
