Ajax vs Heerenveen - Netherlands Eredivisie Head to Head

Team News<br />Heerenveen<br /><br />    Foppe de Haan is missing a lot of players due to injury.<br />    They include defenders Joris Voest, Pele van Anholt and Doke Schmidt as well as midfielder Simon Thern and forward Pascal Huser<br /><br />Ajax<br /><br />    Kenny Tete is once again available after missing Ajax's last 11 league matches.<br />    He could regain his spot in Frank de Boer's starting XI, which means Joël Veltman returning to his more familiar central defensive role.<br /><br />

Hibernian V Rangers at Easter Road Stadium : Match Preview

Unknown 0 09:46

Logan had a perfect debut on Saturday, making a string of saves and stopping two penalties in the shoot-out as Hibs beat Dundee United in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals.<br /><br />And Oxley knows he will have to perform well when he returns from suspension against the Ladbrokes Championship title-winners at Easter Road on Wednesday.<br /><br />Stubbs told Hibs TV: "Conrad's come on a short-term deal and we obviously know he is working his way back to full fitness. He came in and did really well, no one can argue with that, but Mark is my number one.<br /><br />"But what Conrad has done is certainly provide real competition for places with Otso (Virtanen) for that number one. Competition for places is huge in any team.<br /><br />"Conrad is chomping at Mark's heels, which is great that should spur Mark on, knowing that if his performances drop, Conrad and Otso are waiting in the wings to get an opportunity."<br /><br />Hibs and Rangers meet for the fifth time this season and will cross swords again at Hampden after Mark Warburton's side overcame Celtic in the other semi-final.<br /><br />The result means on-loan Celtic players Liam Henderson and Anthony Stokes can play in the final.<br /><br />Farid El Alagui is expected to be out for about three weeks after suffering a hamstring injury at Hampden.<br /><br />Liam Fontaine (thigh), Dylan McGeouch and Dan Carmichael (both groin) remain on the sidelines but James Keatings is back after a cup ban.<br /><br />Rangers' Andy Halliday insists there will be no hard feelings if Hibernian snub calls for them to give Rangers a guard of honour on Wednesday night.<br /><br />Ibrox supporters believe the Leith men should pay tribute to the newly-crowned Ladbrokes Championship winners by applauding them out as they run on to the Easter Road pitch.<br /><br />But that might be a bitter pill to swallow for the Edinburgh side, especially with their promotion hopes now hanging in the balance.<br /><br />However, Light Blues midfielder Halliday says there will be no row if the Hibees reject the request.<br /><br />He said: "That's up to Hibs. I would like to think [they would] as obviously it's been part and parcel of football for a long time.<br /><br />"But it's up to them. There will certainly be no hard feelings if they don't. It's completely up to them."<br /><br />Rangers will welcome back wingers Billy King and Michael O'Halloran against Hibernian.<br /><br />The match will be a dress rehearsal for next month's William Hill Scottish Cup final after the Ibrox men booked their place with a penalty shoot-out triumph over Celtic in the semi-finals.<br /><br />They had to do it without cup-tied duo King and O'Halloran as well as injured forwards Martyn Waghorn (knee) and Harry Forrester (broken leg), who remain unavailable for the Easter Road clash alongside long-term absentee David Templeton (knee).<br />

Match Preview: Deportivo La Coruña v FC Barcelona 04/20/2016 10:00

Unknown 0 09:43

Therefore, there can be no margin for error in the side’s trip to face Deportivo La Coruña on Wednesday with the chasing pack ready to pounce.<br />
<br />
Despite Depor sitting in 13th place, Luis Enrique’s side cannot afford to take their hosts lightly as, in the last two meetings between the sides, the Galicians have come back from two goals behind to earn 2-2 draws.<br />
Team news<br />
<br />
Eighteen players are in the squad for Wednesday's game: goalkeepers Claudio Bravo and Marc-André Ter Stegen and players Douglas, Rakitic, Busquets, Alves, Arda, Iniesta, Suárez, Messi, Neymar Jr, Rafinha, Mascherano, Bartra, Munir, Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto and Adriano.<br />
<br />
Arda Turan missed Tuesday’s training session through gastritis but has recovered for Wednesday’s match. Jeremy Mathieu and Thomas Vermaelen are injured while Gerard Pique is suspended.<br />
<br />
The home side welcomes back winger Fede Cartabia after the Argentine missed the recent 1-1 draw against Sevilla with a back strain. However, Oriol Riera, who scored the equalizer against the Andalusians is a big doubt after damaging his left ankle, leaving him unable to train on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Former Barça B man Luis Alberto is certain to miss out with a muscle problem while centre-backs Alejandro Arribas and Alberto Lopo are suspended.<br />
Coaches’ viewpoint<br />
<br />
Speaking to the media on Tuesday about the upcoming game, Luis Enrique said: "Winning away is always difficult and even more so in our situation, but we will try to exploit weaknesses of a team that defends very well”.<br />
<br />
Deportivo took a big step towards mainting their place in La Liga for next season with their draw at Sevilla, yet manager Victor said that “to be practically safe does not guarantee survival,” before adding: “Every point is crucial and we always intend to put up a fight”.<br />
Form<br />
<br />
With no win in the last four league matches and three defeats on the bounce, Barça are experiencing their worst run since Luis Enrique took over in the summer 2014.<br />
<br />
Depor occupied sixth place in La Liga going into the Christmas break but, with just one win in 17 league outings, the Galicians have fallen to 13th spot in the table.

Newcastle v Man City Match Preview

Unknown 0 11:41

Newcastle beat Swansea City 3-0 on Saturday, just hours after Sunderland had defeated 17th-placed Norwich City by the same scoreline to bring the three clubs within three points of each other, with the north-east rivals holding a match in hand over the Canaries.<br />
<br />
The Magpies' extra fixture looks a tricky test, with City chasing points in their bid to nail down a top-four spot.<br />
<br />
Aguero sets sights on landmark night at Newcastle >><br />
<br />
But Benitez hopes the increasing optimism on Tyneside will give his side considerable home advantage, with Newcastle having beaten Liverpool and West Ham United at St James' Park already this term.<br />
<br />
"After the games you watch the table and it's a little bit better so we have more confidence,” he said. "Hopefully, we can keep the momentum.<br />
<br />
"We said before playing at home could be massive for us, we have another three games at home so hopefully we can play at the same level with the same intensity and be lucky, as sometimes you have to be."<br />
<br />
Benitez could welcome Daryl Janmaat back from a groin injury and has seen signs that his players have it within them to escape the drop.<br />
<br />
"It was important to give them confidence before the game," he added. "The game plan, the ideas that we were practicing in training sessions this week, you could see they were trying and trying.<br />
<br />
"Sometimes going well, sometimes not so well, but in the end we won and the team has this feeling that working hard and working together with the fans behind us we can beat anyone.<br />
<br />
"I think that they are now thinking that we can do it and they believe they have this feeling, like all the fans, watching the team working hard, everybody thinks we can do it.<br />
<br />
"I say a lot of times, 'we will fight until the end', but now we are closer it will be easier for me to give this speech."<br />
<br />
Man City aim for lucky thirteen against Newcastle >><br />
<br />
Newcastle's recent record against City makes for grim reading, however, losing the last 12 BPL meetings between the sides by an aggregate 38-6 score.<br />
<br />
That will boost a City side hoping to pull further away from fifth-placed Manchester United and Arsenal after the Gunners' draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday left Manuel Pellegrini's men third in the table.<br />
<br />
Pellegrini suggested after Saturday's 3-0 win at Chelsea that he could make changes as City look to maintain their form ahead of a UEFA Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid.<br />
<br />
Yaya Toure returned from a knee injury at Stamford Bridge, while Vincent Kompany and Raheem Sterling have recovered from their injury problems to feature in the squad.<br />
<br />
Gael Clichy (back) and David Silva (ankle) will not feature, while Bacary Sagna and Samir Nasri are also ruled out, with the latter in contention for the weekend's match with Stoke City.<br />
<br />
Newcastle United (from): Darlow, Woodman, Dummett, Haidara, Janmaat, Lascelles, Mbemba, Taylor, Aarons, Anita, Colback, De Jong, Gouffran, Marveaux, Obertan, Saivet, Shelvey, Sissoko, Tiote, Townsend, Wijnaldum, Cisse, Doumbia, Mitrovic, Perez, Riviere.<br />
<br />
Manchester City (from): Caballero, Hart, Wright, Demichelis, Kolarov, Kompany, Mangala, Otamendi, Sagna, Zabaleta, De Bruyne, Delph, Fernandinho, Fernando, Nasri, Navas, Toure, Sterling, A Garcia, M Garcia, Aguero, Bony, Iheanacho, Celina.<br />

Stoke City v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

By kick-off at the Britannia on Monday evening, Tottenham could be 10 points behind Leicester with five games to play. They should, however, have enough to beat Stoke, who remain saddled with selection problems in defence and have won only once in their last five outings.
