Tottenham Hotspur vs. Liverpool: Preview, Team News, and Ways to Watch

Sadio Mané will return to Premier League action missing the defeat away to Burnley. He continued to look as Liverpool's star player in the comfortable victory against Burton Albion. Joël Matip is a good bet to start alongside Dejan Lovren in defence to continue their partnership that wasn't seriously tested against on Tuesday. Daniel Sturridge or Roberto Firmino could start up front, but the Brazilian attacker's capabilities in the press might push Sturridge wider than he's been accustomed to in a Liverpool shirt.<br /> <br /> Divock Origi (cramp) (Emre Can (ankle) and Philippe Coutinho (hamstring) are doubts for the game. It's another hamstring injury under Klopp that might be worrying and could get tiring quite quickly. Although Coutinho missed the EFL Cup tie on Tuesday, both Can and Origi suffered minor injuries during that game. Origi probably should be okay to make the matchday squad, but whether Can and Coutinho will make it is another matter.<br /> <br /> Loris Karius, Sheyi Ojo, Joe Gomez, and Lucas Leiva remain injured. Mamadou Sakho is making his way back to fitness but is set for a loan move away from Anfield, essentially ruling him out of the club's plans this season. Liverpool will be able to field a strong first eleven but may struggle in midfield considering Tottenham's strength and pressing appetite in midfield.<br /> <br /> Mauricio Pochettino hardly has any fitness concerns with only Hugo Lloris missing with a hamstring injury. The wonderfully dynamic Mousa Dembélé still has to serve two more games of his suspension so misses out. Michel Vorm will continue to deputise in goal, but Pochettino will have to consider whether to start Dele Alli or continue with Harry Kane as a number ten. Vincent Janssen impressed in the victory against Crystal Palace and may continue up front with Kane in behind.<br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

FC Rostov vs Ajax - Champions League Preview

The UEFA Champions League second leg tie Rostov vs Ajax Amsterdam is headed back to Russia, and after the first leg Rostov has a small advantage. The 1-1 tie in the first leg means that Rostov now have the all-important away goal, which according to a review of Netbet Casino makes them the favourite.<br /><br />This will therefore be a tough ask for Ajax, as manager Peter Bosz will have to find solutions to crack Rostov’s tough defensive nut. Rostov’s manager Dmitri Kirichenko meanwhile will feel little pressure going into the second leg.<br /><br />After all no one expected that Rostov would be able to challenge Ajax at all, given the fact that the club lost to Kurban Berdyev just days before the first leg. Berdyev masterminded Rostov’s surprise 2015-16 season, where the club came close to win the title in the Russian Football Premier League.<br /><br />But following Rostov’s third round Champions League qualification success against RSC Anderlecht, Berdyev stepped down all off a sudden, citing Rostov’s on-going financial problems as unbearable to continue with his work.<br /><br />It remains to be seen whether Kirichenko can successfully continue Berdyev’s work at Rostov. The strong result against Ajax would indicate that it is possible, but under the new manager Rostov also lost 3-2 against Zenit, after being up 2-0—something that would have been unthinkable under Berdyev.<br /><br />Then on the weekend Rostov beat Tom Tomsk 3-0 in convincing fashion. This result in particular should provide Rostov with the necessary optimism that they can beat Ajax on Wednesday at the Olimp-2 Stadium in Rostov.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Red Bull Salzburg vs Dinamo Zagreb

It is everything to play for in the return leg at Austria when Red Bull Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb resume their Champions League play-off tie after a 1-1 stalemate in the first leg.<br /> <br /> A Marko Rog penalty rescued Zagreb from a defeat against Salzburg cancelling out Valentino Lazaro 59th goal when the two teams met at the Stadion Maksimir a week ago. It was an open contest by all means and the Austrians will be the more satisfied team after taking the decider to Austria without any damage. However, Salzburg must look to win here as a high scoring draw favours Dinamo to progress. A 0-0 draw or a win by any margin could earn Red Bull their first ever ticket to the group stages of the Champions League.<br /> <br /> Dinamo Zagreb made it to the group stages of the Champions League last season. Despite starting off with a 2-1 home win against Arsenal, they finished bottom of the group failing to win in rest of their matches. The win also remains to be their only win in 18 Champions League group-stage matches until today.<br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Young Boys vs Borussia Moenchengladbach

Borussia Mönchengladbach will hope to put themselves in a strong position to reach the group stages of the UEFA Champions League for a second successive season when they travel to BSC Young Boys for Tuesday’s play-off first leg (kick-off 20:45 CEST/18:45 GMT).<br /> <br /> <br /> The Foals finished bottom of a group containing Juventus, Manchester City FC and Sevilla FC last term, losing all three away games in the process. Andre Schubert’s charges will travel to Bern in confident mood, however, having put three past the Swiss Super League outfit in a 3-3 friendly draw just last month. A similar result on Tuesday would leave Borussia in pole position to qualify for the first round proper of Europe’s premier club competition.<br /> <br /> "It's a huge challenge to start with, but we know what to expect and we're looking forward to it." said head coach Schubert. "It's going to be tough. Of course when you are a Bundesliga club in the Champions League, you are going to be favourites. The Bundesliga has a good reputation in Europe, but then Shakhtar Donetsk were favourites to beat Young Boys [in the last round]."<br /> <br /> "Young Boys will be a tough nut to crack," said Gladbach’s Switzerland international keeper Yann Sommer, who has been passed fit for the match at the Stade de Suisse after recovering from an ankle knock picked up in Saturday’s pre-season friendly with SS Lazio. "There is a lot riding on this game so we have to take it very seriously. Berne is always a difficult place to go, but our aim is clear: We want to reach the group stages."<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Leicester City vs Arsenal preview

Last season’s top two both got their seasons off to a disappointing start on the opening day but Saturday’s clash between Leicester and Arsenal will see all the pressure on visiting manager Arsene Wenger.<br /><br />A 4-3 loss at home to Liverpool saw a mutinous atmosphere emerge at the Emirates, with fans demanding new signings and a change of approach from the manager. They may be disappointed on the former – it seems increasingly unlikely that a new centre-back will be bought in time to feature at the King Power despite long-term injuries to Gabriel and Per Mertesacker.<br /><br />However a trio of returning stars from Euro 2016 could feature, with Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Laurent Koscielny all having spent two weeks in training since returning from their holidays.<br /><br />The visit to Leicester also provides Arsene Wenger with a chance to see what he could have won this summer, with Jamie Vardy expected to face Arsenal for the first time since he turned down a move to the Emirates. Riyad Mahrez was also on the Gunners’ radar over recent months but will line up against them on Saturday.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

West Brom v Everton Preview

What do we know about them? They’re like helium voiced wools really and that’s not an insult as wools on the whole are sound and preferable to most of the flutes scattered around the green grass of England. They’re warm folk who are content with the simpler things in life like a morning cup of tea with a biscuit, maybe stretched out to a Jaffa Cake on the weekend. A Ford Capri lying on the drive, a weekend in Blackpool eagerly anticipated. Evening meal on the table by 5.30pm, smoked kipper in the air and a pair of Next slippers – awarded as a gift in 1996 – eased on ready for an evening in front of the goggle box. You know the types.<br /><br />But how did they vote in the Brexit referendum I don’t hear you cry? Well, small town coziness in England screams ignorant abhorrent racists and so it proved with every two to one person from that area voting to leave a European Union that has funded the area for many years when the Tories would be happy to neglect it. With the area of Sandwell I don’t believe it was a malicious vote because they’re terrified of some Poles stealing a minimum wage job or two, I just think it’s because they’re small town stupid, and we’re unlikely to be able to fix that any time soon so I hope 70% of them are on food rations as soon as Article 50 is invoked.<br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur are back in action on Saturday when they host Crystal Palace in their home opener. It’s a match that has a feel of a goodbye tour -- it’s the final season at White Hart Lane, and there’s remarkably a feeling of melancholy around all of Spurs’ home matches this season.<br /> <br /> Or maybe it’s just me? This is a season of lasts: the last time we’ll play these teams on the (narrow) White Hart Lane pitch. The stadium is already partially demolished. Champions League matches are being played at Wembley Stadium this year. It’s exciting, but also a little sad.<br /> <br /> The last time Tottenham hosted Crystal Palace was in the FA Cup, and the Fightin’ Pardews came away with a 1-0 win on the back of a Martin Kelly goal. Palace eventually got to the FA Cup final before falling to Manchester United. Spurs, however, had very little trouble against Pardew’s Palace team last season in the league.<br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Swansea City v Hull City: match preview

<br /> Mike Phelan saw his pre-match press conference interrupted by a firm alarm yesterday but, thanks to last weekend's win over Leicester City, there was no other cause for immediate panic ahead of tomorrow's trip to Swansea City.<br /> <br /> Although Hull City remain a club desperately ill-equipped for the Premier League, with neither a permanent manager nor a signing of note this summer, at least the opening day demonstrated there is a team unwilling to be dragged into the mire.<br /> <br /> They still need help before the transfer window closes – and lots of it – but the sharp focus of Phelan and his players is containing a full-blown crisis. The professionalism of this group is keeping City afloat against a backdrop of uncertainty from the boardroom down and for that they deserve no end of credit.<br /> <br /> To all intents and purposes, the pressure will be off the Tigers when they arrive in South Wales. They remain the Premier League's underdogs and already boast a total that most supporters would have gladly accepted at the international break next month.

Match preview: Manchester United v Bournemouth

Preview: Manchester United v Bournemouth<br /> <br /> Important infomation: Manchester United's final Barclays Premier League match of the season will now be played on Tuesday 17 May, when kick-off is set for 20:00 BST. This follows the abandonment of Sunday's planned fixture due to a suspicious package that was discovered at Old Trafford.<br /> <br /> Scene-setter: Louis van Gaal's men can realistically no longer finish fourth and qualify for the UEFA Champions League after Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Swansea City on Sunday afternoon. The Reds are determined to end the league campaign on a high though, particularly with the FA Cup final to follow at the weekend. <br /> <br /> Form guide: A second defeat in the last 12 matches was suffered during West Ham's Upton Park farewell, despite two goals for Anthony Martial. Louis van Gaal's men have only lost twice at home all season (not including the penalty shoot-out defeat to Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup), while the visitors are 17th in the form table, covering the last six matches, but have won three of their last six games on the road.<br /> <br /> Last meeting: On the back of a disappointing midweek Champions League exit in Wolfsburg, United lost 2-1 to Eddie Howe's side in front of 11,334 fans at the Vitality Stadium last December. Marouane Fellaini cancelled out Junior Stanislas's early goal direct from a corner, but former Red Joshua King bagged the winner in the second half.<br /> <br /> Latest team news: Van Gaal made three changes to his starting XI for Sunday's postponed match with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Michael Carrick and Jesse Lingard all returning. Ashley Young was named on the bench following his return to training, but there was no place for the injured Matteo Darmian. Marouane Fellaini is still suspended, while Luke Shaw and Bastian Schweinsteiger are out for the season. For the visitors, Callum Wilson is fit again after missing much of the season due to injury, but Tyrone Mings and Sylvain Distin appear to be unavailable.<br /> <br /> Opposition manager: Eddie Howe is one of the brightest young managers in the English game and has worked wonders in his second stint as Cherries boss. He saved the club from relegation out of the Football League in his first time in charge after making over 250 appearances for them in his playing days, again in two different spells. A managerial move to Burnley in 2011 did not really work out but he has reaffirmed his up-and-coming status in some style.<br /> <br /> Trivia: This is Bournemouth's first league visit to Old Trafford. The Seaside outfit have never scored at the Theatre of Dreams, losing all four cup ties by an aggregate scoreline of 12-0. However, the South Coast side's win on their home patch in December was their second against the Reds following the FA Cup upset in 1984 when Harry Redknapp's men knocked out Ron Atkinson's holders.<br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>

Watford v Sunderland: match preview

One club, the fifth biggest in the league if ranked by stadium capacity, is delighted just to have avoided relegation; the other, recently promoted and 18th in the same rankings, is so disappointed to have spent the season in mid-table that they have just disposed of their manager. Sunderland will come 17th whatever happens but go into the gameare on a wave of survivalist euphoria; Watford could finish as low as 16th or as high as 11th, a difference of £6,180,415 in “merit payments”, but motivation may still be an issue.

Everton v Norwich City: match preview

<br /> <br /> An afternoon with David Unsworth, Joe Royle and Duncan Ferguson sounds more like a sportsman’s dinner than a Premier League fixture but the trio of ex-Evertonians will lift Goodison Park’s mood following the sacking of Roberto Martínez. The visit of relegated Norwich City would have been a mutinous, horrible affair had Martínez been kept on for one more game and it will be revealing if his former players suddenly show more commitment than they have done in recent weeks.

West Bromwich Albion v Liverpool: match preview

<br /> <br /> With Liverpool’s focus very much on Wednesday’s Europa League final against Sevilla in Basel, Jürgen Klopp is likely to name an under-strength side for the final league game.

Southampton v Crystal Palace: match preview

<br /> Six wins from their last eight games have propelled Southampton up the table and they know victory tomorrow could be enough for them to steal sixth, and even possibly fifth place. Alan Pardew returns to a club where he had perhaps his least impressive spell in management with next Saturday’s FA Cup final on his mind, even more so after Joe Ledley’s unfortunate leg-break against Stoke last week, so an under-strength Crystal Palace side is a distinct possibility.

Arsenal v Aston Villa: match preview

<br /> <br /> Arsenal have an outside chance of finishing second, which they have not done since 2004-05 and so it is possible that a campaign marked by frustration and volatility could end on something of a positive. It would be sweet for them if they could pip Tottenham and finish above them as they always do but thoughts have already turned to next season.

Preview: Newcastle United vs. Tottenham Hotspur

<br /> <br /> Tottenham require a point to secure second place and finish above Arsenal for the first time since the 1994-95 season. Rafael Benítez, though, wants to extend already relegated Newcastle’s five-game unbeaten run on an afternoon when home fans are planning to serenade the Spaniard in the hope of persuading him to stick around next season and lead them out of the second tier. Tyneside’s Evening Chronicle devoted Friday’s front page to imploring Benítez to stay but some fear Everton might steal him.

Preview: Swansea City vs. Manchester City

Pellegrini's men twice gave back leads established by Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne to be held to a 2-2 draw by Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium last time out, meaning victory for United in east London would have lifted Louis van Gaal's side into the top four before their home match with AFC Bournemouth.<br /> <br /> Instead the impetus lies with City, whose vastly superior goal difference effectively means they need only avoid defeat to retain their top-four place.<br /> <br /> And ahead of Sunday's crunch match, Pellegrini has urged his side to maintain their focus against opponents who have impressed with convincing victories over Liverpool and West Ham United.<br /> <br /> Aguero and Ranieri win Barclays awards for April >><br /> <br /> "It's always a difficult game when you play away," Pellegrini told his final pre-match news conference before he makes way for Pep Guardiola.<br /> <br /> "Swansea has done very well in the last two games. We had an atmosphere when everybody thought we were eliminated from the first four positions.<br /> <br /> "I am sure in the future this club will continue growing."<br /> Sunday's match comes days after Swansea City announced they would retain Francesco Guidolin on an extended two-year contract.<br /> <br /> The Swans head coach said: "It is not easy to keep going up in football. It is important to have a season that is complicated to understand and learn new things."<br /> <br /> City remain without captain Vincent Kompany (thigh), fellow defender Pablo Zabaleta (calf) and playmaker David Silva (hamstring), while Aleksandar Kolarov (muscular) and Samir Nasri (illness) will be assessed.<br /> <br /> Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will join team-mates Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor and Gylfi Sigurdsson in resting up ahead of Euro 2016 commitments, meaning a likely Barclays Premier League debut for Kristoffer Nordfeldt.<br /> <br /> Swansea City (from): Nordfeldt, Vickers, Zabret, Amat, Bartley, Fernandez, Naughton, Rangel, Ayew, Britton, Cork, Fer, Fulton, Grimes, Ki, Lucas, Montero, Routledge, Barrow, Emnes, Gomis, Paloschi.<br /> <br /> Manchester City (from): Caballero, Hart, Wright, Clichy, Demichelis, Kolarov, Mangala, Otamendi, Sagna, De Bruyne, Delph, Fernandinho, Fernando, Nasri, Navas, Toure, A Garcia, M Garcia, Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho, Sterling, Celina.<br /> <br /> Match Appointments<br /> Referee: Mike Dean Assistants: J Collin, S Long Fourth Official: A Marriner<br /> <br /> Match Facts<br />     - Wilfried Bony has scored in both of his Barclays Premier League matches against former club Swansea City, and netted three goals in his last two appearances for the Swans against Man City before that.<br />     - Manchester City have won six and lost none of the last seven BPL meetings with Swansea.<br />     - Yaya Toure has scored four goals in his last four league appearances against Swansea.<br />     - The Swans have won their last four BPL home matches, their best run of home results in the history of the competition.<br /> <br /> <center> <script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- smel 2 --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8045107268257721" data-ad-slot="8360218290" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </center>
