Twente vs Heerenveen Netherlands - Eredivisie Match 31 -August 2013

Twente vs Heerenveen Netherlands - Eredivisie Match 31 -August 2013.Twente is coming into this game from a narrow 1:0 defeat away to Vitesse last weekend, as the team suffered their first loss in the season. Hosts entered the game much better, raising the level of performance after 20th minute and have scored the leading goal in 26th minute.

The coach Jansen was quite disappointed with the result, saying that the result leaves them bitter and that his team could have get at least a draw. Adding that they were good in the second time, but that they have lost their calm as the time passed. After two impressive victories, over Feyenoord 4:1 away from home and against Utrecht 6:0 at home, Twente was brought back to earth with this result. However, the team has a lot of talent and is excellent in offensive parts, but have showed in match against Vitesse and season opener against RKC, that they have problems breaking tight defenses. Team captain and midfielder Brama didn’t overcome the injury, while left back Schindler returns from an injury giving some extra option to the coach but it’s hard to see him playing all ninety minutes, while the coach said that he sees no reason in changing the lineup that played against Vitesse last weekend.Heerenveen recovered from a shock defeat previous weekend from Heracles 2:4 at home, as they managed to held champions Ajax in a 3:3 draw last weekend leaving good impression of themselves. Although their guests took the lead of 2:0 in 17th minute, hosts were excellent and responded with two quick goals from Finnbogason, while Eikrem brought them into 3:2 lead just before the half-time whistle.

Ajax had much more of the ball possession and managed to get the draw, although they were entitled maybe to even something more having in mind overall picture of the game. Seems that the team continued scoring easy, but that they have kept the poor performances of the defensive part from the previous season. The coach his urged the club’s board to improve the roster, especially at the back, while there are some rumors that the club will sign Venlo’s striker Nwofor. Guests will be without important striker Finnbogason (4/6) in this game, who is expect to resume training next week, while the team will also be without central midfielder de Roon (4/0). Left back Raitala and offensive midfielder Pappa are yet to recover from long term injuries.

Wigan V Nottm Forest Sky Bet Championship Match 31 -August 2013

Wigan V Nottm Forest Sky Bet Championship Match 31 -August 2013Grant Holt is rated very doubtful for Wigan's clash with table-topping Nottingham Forest.

The striker has sustained a knee injury and boss Owen Coyle is far from optimistic about Holt's chances of featuring against his former club.Watch Wigan V Nottm Forest Live, Watch Wigan V Nottm Forest Live Stream, Watch Wigan V Nottm Forest Free Live Stream, Watch Wigan V Nottm Forest Online, Watch Wigan V Nottm Forest Online Free, Wigan V Nottm Forest Live, Wigan V Nottm Forest live stream Online.

Forest boss Billy Davies could again make wholesale alterations to his team.

The Reds boss made 11 changes for the Capital One Cup tie at home to Millwall and could again switch the whole team for the DW Stadium fixture.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Wigan are looking for a first ever league win over Nottingham Forest.

• These clubs have only met five times previously, including a 4-1 away win for Wigan in last season's League Cup, but both second-level league meetings at the DW have been drawn.

• They were most recently in the same division together in the 2004-05, when both Championship fixtures ended 1-1.

Wigan Athletic

• The Latics are hunting a first victory since their 4-0 triumph on the opening day at Barnsley, and could register three league draws in a row for the first time since February 2010.

• Victory would give Owen Coyle's side eight points after five matches, but they would still be three points short of the mark set in their last second-tier campaign in 2004.

• With eight goals, Wigan are the second-highest scorers in the Championship behind Watford (11).

Nottingham Forest
Play media

Davies still looking to strengthen

• Forest have won five and drawn one of six in all competitions, and go into the weekend top of the table, heading four teams on 10 points (W3 D1).

• They have only accumulated 13 points after five games twice since three points were first awarded for a win 32 years ago; in the Premier League in 1994 and League One in 2006.

• Billy Davies's side boast the meanest defence in the division with just one goal conceded in four games, and are the only Championship club to have kept three clean sheets.

And Terriers manager Mark Robins has no new selection worries.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Huddersfield have avoided defeat in five of the last six league and cup games against Barnsley.

• The Tykes are chasing a first home league victory over their Yorkshire rivals in eight years, since a 4-2 triumph in January 2005 when Michael Chopra bagged a hat-trick and Ross Turnbull was sent off after 50 minutes.

• Huddersfield need to score twice to take their total of goals in all competitions against Barnsley to 100.

Barnsley

• Bottom-placed Barnsley have drawn one and lost three Championship games, but only once in 21 seasons have they had just one point from their first five league outings (2009).

• Manager David Flitcroft needs to shore up a defence that has leaked 10 goals in two league and Capital One Cup games.

• Defender Scott Golbourne could make his 200th career league start and Steele is standing by to make his 200th appearance in goal for the Tykes.

Huddersfield Town

• Huddersfield are targeting four straight victories in all competitions and hope to win three consecutive matches for the first time in 11 months - if they do so it will be their best start to a league season at this level in 30 years.

Crystal Palace V Sunderland Barclays Premier League Match 31 -August 2013

Last season's top scorer Steven Fletcher is included, while Connor Wickham is pushing for a start.
MATCH PREVIEW

A victory at Selhurst Park for either of these clubs and their managers would be a most welcome and timely one.

Both Ian Holloway and Paolo Di Canio have had an uncomfortable couple of weeks and will see this as an opportunity for a much needed lift.

Di Canio's new look Sunderland managed to salvage their midweek League Cup tie despite trailing MK Dons 2-0 with 12 minutes to go, but the Italian was far from pleased with the first 75 minutes.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst

"I can't work Paolo Di Canio out - in fact I've stopped trying. Sunderland have signed so many players and we won't know for a while whether they are good enough. I get a vibe from there that they are in for a real struggle.

"He may prove me spectacularly wrong but I always worry when a manager talks about himself in the third person."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score

He's brought in so many new faces from different cultures that it will take time for them all to gel.

He's also lost an outstanding goalkeeper in Simon Mignolet, while Steven Fletcher, last season's top scorer, is yet to play this campaign due to injury but was an unused substitute on Tuesday night.

His inclusion, as well as goals for Connor Wickham and new signing Jozy Altidore, will have been a welcome sight as he looks to improve a team that were the Premier League's third lowest scorers last season.

Three points would inject some belief into a Black Cats team that have actually only won twice in their last 17 Premier League games, and have Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United to play in three of their next four games.

You sense Crystal Palace need that first win as quickly as possible too. Their lack of squad depth was all too apparent as they crashed out of the League Cup at Bristol City, where Holloway made 11 changes.

Similarly to Sunderland, there is a concern about the Eagles' new-look attack scoring enough goals. A lot rests on the shoulders of club record signing Dwight Gayle, in his first top flight season, and last weekend's scorer Marouane Chamakh.

Holloway knows he needs more players to give his team a better chance of defying the odds and surviving. He'll also realise the importance of their home form and picking up points in fixtures such as this one.

There'll be no shortage of passion and entertainment in the technical areas but all both managers will care about is getting three points.

If there is a winner, they'll receive a huge psychological boost ahead of the international break.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

The two clubs are meeting in the Premier League for the very first time.
Including play-off matches, Crystal Palace are unbeaten in their last four home matches against the Black Cats.
Sunderland have only ever won two of 14 previous league games at Selhurst Park (D3, L9), the most recent being a 1-0 Division Two win in October 1995.
The Eagles have never lost a league game to Sunderland in the month of August (W2, D1).

Crystal Palace

Before this season, the Eagles had never lost the opening two matches of a Premier League season in four previous campaigns.
Including the play-offs, Palace have lost only three of their last 25 games at Selhurst Park (W13, D9).
Ian Holloway's men have scored in only six of their last 14 league matches (10 goals), including the play-offs.
All seven of Palace's Premier League wins during the 2004-05 season, their most recent in the top flight, came when the Eagles kept a clean sheet.

Sunderland

The Black Cats are winless in their last six Premier League games and have conceded in each game.
Paolo Di Canio's side have lost six of their last eight league away matches (W1, D1).
Only Newcastle (5.9%) and West Brom (23.1%) have poorer shooting accuracy so far in the Premier League this season than Sunderland (28.6%).
Sunderland scored just two headers in the league last season, yet their only Premier League goal so far this campaign was Emanuele Giaccherini's header against Southampton.

MATCH PREVIEW

This match finished in a 1-1 draw last season and there's every chance there won't be much between the two sides in this one as well.

West Ham have started with two clean sheets, beating newly-promoted Cardiff on the opening day and drawing 0-0 at Newcastle a week ago.

Stoke secured their first win of the season under new manager Mark Hughes last weekend with a 2-1 victory over another of the Premier league new boys, Crystal Palace. That followed their tough opener at Anfield, where they were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst

"Stoke boss Mark Hughes will be pleased so far but he has two problems: first, he has very little money to spend and second, he is trying to change the way they play. That can't happen overnight but he is looking for more quality in the final third and more goals."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score

The defeat on Merseyside could easily have been a draw, but Simon Mignolet saved Jonathan Walters' late penalty. That result continued a run that has seen Stoke win only one of their last dozen away matches in the Premier league, at QPR in April.

I'm interested to see what changes Hughes has implemented already at Stoke following the summer departure of Tony Pulis. I noticed a clear change of style from Everton under Roberto Martinez even on the opening day at Norwich.

This game also brings together two former managers of Blackburn Rovers, who were in charge during happier times at Ewood Park.

Mark Hughes took them into Europe, while Sam Allardyce started his reign there with a 3-0 win over Stoke City in December 2008 and was surprisingly sacked two years later with the club 13th in the table. What they'd give to be in that position now.

Last season's 2-1 win for West Ham over QPR was Allardyce's first Premier League success in the last seven over a Mark Hughes team. The Hammers' solid home form probably makes them slight favourites here, though once again they'll be without striker Andy Carroll, who is still recovering from a heel injury.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

West Ham are enjoying a four-match unbeaten run against Stoke (W2, D2). This includes a 1-0 win at the Britannia Stadium in March courtesy of a Jack Collison goal.
Stoke's only Premier League win in four previous attempts at Upton Park (D1, L2) came in March 2010, when Ricardo Fuller scored in a 1-0 win.
The Potters are two goals away from reaching a 100 goals against the Hammers in all competitions.
West Ham and Stoke have both been involved in six 0-0 draws since the beginning of last season, joint league highs. However, there has never been a goalless Premier League draw between the clubs.

West Ham

The Hammers are unbeaten in their last six home league games (W4, D2) since a 3-2 defeat to Tottenham last February.
Sam Allardyce's men are yet to concede a goal so far this campaign. They have not kept three clean sheets in their opening three Premier League games since the 1998-99 season.
West Ham have kept clean sheets in three of their last four home matches.
The 617 passes attempted by West Ham is fewer than any other side in the Premier League so far this season.

Stoke

Mark Hughes has lost only three of 12 previous Premier League encounters against Sam Allardyce (W5, D4). One of those defeats was in the last meeting between the two men as West Ham saw off Hughes' QPR 2-1 last October.
Stoke, beaten at Liverpool on the opening weekend, won only twice away last season, the equal-lowest tally in last season's Premier League.
Asmir Begovic (14) has made more saves in this season's Premier League than any other goalkeeper.
The Potters' pass completion in their victory over Crystal Palace last week was 78%. Last season they averaged only 70%.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino must decide whether or not to include club-record signing Pablo Daniel Osvaldo in his starting line-up.
MATCH PREVIEW

With a combined expenditure of over £65m this summer it's fair to say optimism levels are high for supporters of both Norwich and Southampton.

These are two well-matched clubs, and expectation levels have been significantly heightened after they both broke their transfer records - twice in Southampton's case.

But while the Saints have made their best-ever start to a Premier League season after two matches, Norwich only have one point to show for their efforts. Chris Hughton was left perplexed by their failure to beat Hull last Saturday despite playing against 10 men for over an hour.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst

"Both of these sides have brought in a lot of players this summer - and the early signs suggest that they've invested wisely.

"I'm not sure Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino knows his best XI yet and has to decided where record signing Dani Osvaldo fits in. It's a work in progress for him."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score

They will not want to go into the international break without a win, especially as two of their matches would have been played at home.

Both clubs have a vested interested in England's matches next week. Southampton's talisman Rickie Lambert, of course, made a sensational introduction on to the international stage, scoring a goal with his first touch and will hope to feature again in the games against Moldova and Ukraine.

An injury to West Brom's Ben Foster means Norwich's John Ruddy will be Joe Hart's understudy in goal, and given the faltering form of the Manchester City player, Ruddy will be optimistic that a series of top-class displays for the Canaries could wrestle the jersey off him.

Southampton's potent forward line will certainly put Ruddy under pressure as Mauricio Pochettino has got the Saints playing some lovely football.

The forward three of Lambert, Adam Lallana and Jay Rodriguez have started the season well and have left Pochettino with a headache of how to incorporate record-signing Dani Osvaldo into his team.

History tells us that this will be a tight match and while it is tempting to predict a low-scoring draw, both sides, as they showed in midweek in the League Cup, have goals in them.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

This is the 100th meeting between the sides in all competitions.
Southampton are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Norwich.
Both matches ended in draws last season - 1-1 at St Mary's and 0-0 at Carrow Road. In that goalless draw Saints keeper Artur Boruc saved a controversial penalty in stoppage time from Norwich's Grant Holt.
Less than four years ago these sides met in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy - Southampton won in a penalty shoot-out.

Norwich

After making the fewest passes on the opening weekend of the season, Norwich's total of 585 passes against Hull was second only to Manchester City's 637 last weekend.
Their defeat at Hull continued their dismal away form from last season. They have taken just five points (W1 D2 L8) from their last 11 away games in the top flight, and have kept a clean sheet in just two of their last 53 Premier League away trips.
Winger Nathan Redmond has successfully dribbled past 10 players in his first two top-flight matches of the season.

Southampton

Four points is Southampton's best ever return from their opening two games of a Premier League season.
They have conceded just two goals in their last six away games in the Premier League but have failed to keep a clean sheet at home since January.
James Ward-Prowse has made 12 accurate crosses so far this season - more than any other player in the Premier League.
Rickie Lambert had eight of Southampton's 17 shots in their 1-1 draw with Sunderland.

MATCH PREVIEW

Last weekend Fulham received an Arsenal backlash, when Arsene Wenger's team responded to early season criticism and scored three goals at Craven Cottage.

Newcastle fans will be hoping that their team can muster a similar revival after what has been the club's equal-worst start to a Premier League season since 2005.
While two games into a new season is a ridiculously early standpoint from which to judge the formative league table, Newcastle's position - in the bottom three already - has hardly helped morale on Tyneside.
From a top-five finish two seasons ago, to a bottom five finish in May; Newcastle fans know they can ill afford that downward trend to continue.
Yet to score a goal in the new Premier League campaign, it's a concern that Alan Pardew's side have only managed one shot on target during their two league games so far.
I was commentating at Morecambe on Wednesday night when it took Newcastle until the 84th minute to finally break the deadlock against League Two opposition in the League Cup.
Both of the Ameobi brothers, Shola and Sammy, scored in the closing minutes at The Globe Arena and Pardew can only hope that finally finding the net this season proves to be a pivotal moment.
Coincidentally, the last time Fulham visited St James' Park Newcastle also came up with a very late goal - and that one certainly proved to be a massive turning point.
Papiss Cisse's 90th-minute winner in April moved Newcastle six points clear of the relegation zone, ensuring last season's slump did not become any worse than it might have been.
With Newcastle fans still crying out for high-profile arrivals, Fulham's new owner Shahid Khan has added Scott Parker, Adel Taarabt and Darren Bent to the ranks this summer. Martin Jol's side also had a taxing run-out in midweek against a League Two side, and were taken all the way to penalties by Burton Albion.

Fulham have a good record against Newcastle in recent years, managing to beat them in seven of the last eight seasons they've been in the same division.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

The home side has won this fixture the last five times it has been played.
Fulham have beaten Newcastle in 11 of 22 Premier League matches. The only club they have a beaten more is Bolton (12).
Newcastle are chasing a third successive home win against the Whites. Overall they have won five of 11 Premier League home games against Fulham (D3, L3)
The three previous league meetings between these sides in the month of August have produced 19 goals - an average of over six per game.

Newcastle

Newcastle have failed to score in three successive Premier League games - they haven't failed to score in four in a row since January 2008.
The Magpies have managed only one shot on target in total in the Premier League this season; fewer than any other side.
Alan Pardew has used only two English players so far in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other side.

MATCH PREVIEW

The first big shock of the Premier League season was Cardiff's thrilling defeat of Manchester City.

It was a result as unexpected as it was welcome for most neutrals and particularly those who wanted proof that the seriously motivated can still sometimes put one over the seriously loaded with a little help from a raucous and cacophonous crowd.

Cardiff were excellent and clearly took Manchester City by surprise. They have been ambitious in the summer sales and the early signs are promising.

"Cardiff fans have been waiting to play in the top flight for a long time, and they realise that if they make it an intense atmosphere it will help their side. That was evident against City and it will be loud all year I'm sure.


That win over City was just the sort of performance and result that became Everton's speciality under David Moyes, when they would frequently bloody the noses of the Premier League's so-called elite.

It is much too early to judge as to whether or not Everton have lost that stubborn streak but Roberto Martinez has made a start which can only be described as 'ok'.

They could have beaten Norwich and should have beaten West Brom in their last Premier League fixture but two draws and a laboured League Cup win over Stevenage is hardly heady stuff.

Life for Martinez has not been made any easier by Moyes' determination to raid his old locker for some of the best bits of the team he built. You can hardly blame the new Manchester United manager but Evertonians will be dismayed if Baines and/or Fellaini are sold before Monday's transfer deadline.

Everton have not won a Premier League game away from home since January's trip to Newcastle, though they have drawn more than they have lost since then.

A first trip to play Cardiff in Wales since 1979 would be a good time to end that run and could really get Martinez off and running - but it will certainly not be easy.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Cardiff and Everton have met 33 times in all competitions but this is the first ever meeting in the Premier League.
The last league meeting between the sides was April 1962 when Everton ran out 8-3 winners at Goodison Park thanks to a Roy Vernon hat-trick.
Cardiff have not beaten Everton at home since a 1-0 triumph at Ninian Park in an old First Division clash in December 1956.

Cardiff City

Cardiff have the chance to win back-to-back top-flight matches for the first time since April 1962.
The Bluebirds have lost just one of their last 13 home matches in league competition (W6 D6 L1).
Malky Mackay's team beat Manchester City in their last match despite having only 30% of the possession, as calcuated by Opta.
Craig Bellamy could become the first player to score for seven different clubs in the Premier League. He has previously scored for Coventry, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle, Blackburn and West Ham.

Everton

Including eight games as Wigan manager, Roberto Martinez has won just one of his last 10 Premier League matches (W1 D5 L4).
Only once under David Moyes (in 2010-11) did Everton fail to win any of their opening three games in a Premier League season (D1 L2).
Nikica Jelavic has only scored one goal in 21 hours and 47 minutes of Premier League football.
The last time the Croatian scored away from Goodison Park in the Premier League was in a 2-2 draw at Wigan on 6 October 2012.

Rangers V East Fife Scottish League One Match 31 -August 2013

Rangers V East Fife Scottish League One Match 31 -August 2013.Businessman Sandy Easdale has bought Charles Green's stake in Rangers, ending the former chief executive's connection with the club.
Easdale, whose brother James is a non-executive director, said there had been "continued speculation and constant enquiries" about Green's shares.
Charles Green Former Rangers chief executive.Watch Rangers V East Fife Live, Watch Rangers V East Fife Live Stream, Watch Rangers V East Fife Free Live Stream, Watch Rangers V East Fife Online, Watch Rangers V East Fife Online Free, Rangers V East Fife Live, Rangers V East Fife live stream Online.
"Between my family holdings and through other supporting investors I now have the largest shareholding," he said.
BBC Scotland believes the family holds around 10% of shares in circulation.
Greenock-based Easdale, who runs McGill's Bus Service with his brother, said Green had given him the "first option" to buy the shares.
Green led a consortium to buy Rangers last summer but quit as chief executive in April following allegations about his dealings with former owner Craig Whyte.
The Yorkshireman was re-employed as a consultant in early August after an investigation found no evidence of Whyte's claims he was involved in the Green-led acquisition.
However, he agreed to step down again just a few weeks later following repeated calls from fans' groups for him to go.
"Over the last few months numerous individuals and corporate bodies have expressed interest in obtaining my shares, although much of this was to solicit press coverage and attract attention," said Green in a statement.
"Sandy said he would buy them and he has. I knew he would and he will do what's best for Rangers now he has a more substantial percentage.
"I want to make it clear that this means I will have no ongoing influence or financial interest at the club but I remain a fan and fervently hope that Rangers will soon be back at the top where they belong." Both sides finished with 10 men as East Fife beat Scottish League One rivals Arbroath at the Bayview Stadium.
All three goals came in the first half with Scott Durie heading home and Liam Buchanan netting the hosts' second with a penalty.
Arbroath's Colin Hamilton was sent off for conceding the spot-kick - a foul on Craig Johnstone - but Alan Cook's free-kick halved the visitors' deficit.
Durie was dismissed for receiving a second booking but the Fifers held on.
East Fife: Andrews, Durie, Thom, Mbu, Naysmith, Brown, Moosari (Willis 70), Jonathan Stewart, Johnstone (McBride 85), Buchanan, Tuta (Clarke 63). Subs Not Used: Barr, Paterson, Ryan Stewart.

Hull City are without Yannick Sagbo after his red card against Norwich with Danny Graham set to replace him.

New midfield duo Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore should partner each other in the middle of the park.
MATCH PREVIEW

These clubs were two cities with differing tales to tell last weekend, although both with common themes of discipline and organisation.

Manchester City may have lacked them only twice on Sunday, but both times led to Cardiff goals from corners which ultimately won them the match.

After their opening game mauling of Newcastle, it was also a reminder that with a new boss comes new methods and ideas that will take time to get used to.

Roberto Mancini liked his dead ball marking to be of the zonal variety, whereas Manuel Pellegrini prefers his defenders to stick to a man each. Fraizer Campbell must have been missed off the checklist.
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Image of Mark Lawrenson Mark Lawrenson Football analyst

"We were all surprised that City conceded in the manner they did against Cardiff - I know they are short of a central defender, but unfortunately goalkeeper Joe Hart seems to be making a mistake every week. Hull have shown there is nothing wrong with their spirit and willingness to fight for each other. When you go somewhere like Manchester City, you also have to possess quality and at the moment they don't have that."

Read Lawro's full prediction and score

Yannick Sagbo won't need to be on it for this game after his discipline failure and red card for Hull against Norwich, but that was the only negative for Steve Bruce as his team got their first points on the board.

Their promotion last season was built around defensive organisation, and that was in evidence again in holding out with 10 men for over an hour to win.

I saw enough in Hull's second-half performance at Chelsea a fortnight ago to suggest that they'll have a fighting chance of Premier League survival, but the vast majority of points they get will be earned at home and there are doubts over their goal-scoring capabilities.

Of the Tigers' current strikers, only Danny Graham has scored at the top level in England - but even then only briefly, and not in his last 18 games.

The visitors' best bet on Saturday may be to follow Cardiff's example and test out that set-piece marking again.

You'll notice I've left out any mention of the under-fire Joe Hart, so let me just quote Peter Schmeichel from Monday's MOTD2. "Joe Hart is a fantastic goalkeeper…I think he's being criticised too much". He'll do for me.
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Manchester City and Hull City have met four times in the Premier League - each club has one win apiece, with two draws.
Hull have only won away at Manchester City once in 11 games across all competitions. That was a 2-1 win at Maine Road in the fifth round of the FA Cup - in 1930.
The biggest victory either club has achieved over the other was a 5-1 win by Manchester City in the Premier League on Boxing Day in 2008.

Manchester City

City conceded twice from corners in their loss at Cardiff. They only conceded six times from corners throughout the whole of last season.
Losing to Cardiff was the first time City have lost a league game before December since 2010.
Manchester City only lost one game from a leading position last season (Tottenham away).
Twenty of Edin Dzeko's 31 Premier League goals have come away from home.

Hull City

Last weekend against Norwich, Yannick Sagbo received Hull's fastest-ever Premier League red card.
They have now received five red cards in their last 15 Premier League games.
The victory over Norwich was Hull's first win in nine top-flight matches (since a 2-0 home win against Fulham in March 2010).
Robbie Brady scored the first goal for Hull at the KC Stadium in the Premier League since Kevin Kilbane (in their 4-1 home defeat against Burnley in April 2010).

Celtic completed the signing of Nir Biton on Friday but the Israeli is unlikely to feature at Tannadice.

Manager Neil Lennon may rest a few players after the Champions League heorics against Shakhter Karagandy on Wednesday.

Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara: "It will be a hard game for us. They're very confident from the result the other night and they'll be wanting to stay that way and make sure they impress their manager to be in the Champions league games.

"Concentration is massive, it's so important when you're playing against the best players. You switch off for one set-piece or one moment in a game and the ball is in the back of the net so it's important to do that for 90 minutes.

"In general play at times we are still a wee bit nervy in possession, a bit negative at times.

"But the important thing is we are improving all the time and getting better. We're looking more and more like a team rather than individuals."

Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "It's one thing I would like to improve on; results after Champions League games.

"We were 2-0 down at the weekend (at home to Inverness CT) but fought back to get a great point.

"I think that will be a significant point in the longer term because it shows the players still have the energy to keep going, despite all of their efforts in Kazahkstan a few days earlier.

"Thankfully, the squad looks healthier and that will stand us in good stead."

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

• Leeds are defending a nine-match unbeaten record against Queens Park Rangers of six wins and three draws, culminating in the double when last in the Championship together in 2010-11.

• That sequence includes a 6-1 victory for the Whites in this corresponding fixture in November 2004, when Brian Deane scored four times.

• QPR's most recent victory over the West Yorkshire club was 3-1 in the Premier League at Elland Road in September 1995, with a brace from Danny Dichio and a Trevor Sinclair goal.

Leeds United

• The Whites are the lowest-placed of the six clubs still unbeaten in the Championship (W2 D2), but maximum points from this lunchtime kick-off would see them top the second tier, a position they last held in May 1990.

• Victory over QPR will make it Leeds' best start to a league season at this level in 29 years.

• These two clubs are the only ones yet to concede a second-half goal in the Championship, and Leeds have taken an unequalled seven points from losing positions.

Queens Park Rangers

• Though dumped out of the League Cup by League One Swindon in midweek, QPR are unbeaten in the Championship (W3 D1), and will go top should they win or draw.

• Harry Redknapp's side are hoping to complete three successive league victories for the first time since the promotion campaign of 2010-11.

• Three points would also give the Hoops a second away league win, and equal the total they managed in the Premier League last season.

Real Sociedad V Lyon UEFA Champions League Match 28 -August 2013

Real Sociedad V Lyon UEFA Champions League Match 28 -August 2013.Real Sociedad won the first leg last week in France 2-0 and are in a great position to advance to the group stages. Although Lyon had the most possession in that match (53%) and one more attempts (12 to 11), it was Sociedad that had the most attempts on target (8 to 4) and the best chances. The two goals they scored were impressive, the first a volley by Griezmann after 16 minutes, then a goal by Seferovic after 49 minutes.Watch Real Sociedad V Lyon Live, Watch Real Sociedad V Lyon Live Stream, Watch Real Sociedad V Lyon Free Live Stream, Watch Real Sociedad V Lyon Online, Watch Real Sociedad V Lyon Online Free, Real Sociedad V Lyon Live, Real Sociedad V Lyon live stream Online.Real Sociedad have played two matches in their domestic league and are currently in 7th position with one win and one draw. Last match was a draw 1-1 away to relegation favourite Elche, a match where Sociedad had 59% possession, 11 attempts (Elche 12) and 4 shouts on target (Elche only 2) – in other words not a very impressive match. Best Sociedad player was goalscorer and right attacking midfielder Vela.
Lyon are three matches into the French Ligue 1 season, standing on third position with two wins and one loss. Their loss came in last weekend’s match home to Reims, they were big favourites but lost 1-0 in what can only be described as a very disappointing result for them. They had 55% possession and won attempts and shots on target with 19-6 and 5-2, but they were poor at finishing and did not convert a penalty in the 72nd minute (they conceded the only goal in the match four minutes later). Lyon came in to the Champions League third qualifying round, where they beat Swiss Grasshoppers 2-0 on aggregate.
REAL SOCIEDAD V LYON PREDICTIONS
The two clubs have met only three times including last week. The two first matches were back in 2004 Champions League and Lyon won both matches 1-0. Lyon have the most experienced team and are a regular in the Champions League, and one potential factor that can ruin for Real Sociedad is that they are inexperienced and have not advanced to CL group stage in last ten years. I backed Lyon in the first leg and still feel they are the better team, and a lot will depend on how confident the Real Sociedad players feel.

This match could evolve in very different ways depending on how it starts, if Sociedad get a goal first then Lyon will have a near impossible task and the match could become an anti-climax, but if Lyon score first Sociedad could become nervous and will have a tough time avoiding a second goal. Sociedad will of course be happy with a goalless draw, but we could very well be in for a match with good attacking football where neither team will sit back and wait.Real Sociedad de Fútbol are 90 minutes away from achieving their dream of playing in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time since 2003/04, their only appearance to date. Last week's 2-0 first-leg win at Olympique Lyonnais has filled San Sebastian with hope and expectation ahead of Wednesday's return at the Anoeta.
Stunning goals from Antoine Griezmann and Haris Seferovic at the Stade de Gerland left Jagoba Arrasate's team on the verge of a place in Thursday's group stage draw. Indeed the Txuri-urdin – blue and whites – have been through a lot since the last time they were among European club football's elite ten years ago, when it was Lyon who ended their participation in the last 16.
Three years later La Real were relegated from the Liga and it took another three before they managed to return. Basing their side around a talented group of young players, the Basque outfit began the gradual improvement that led to a fourth-placed finish last term. That impressive achievement was trumped by last week's win in Lyon, where nine of the starting lineup had featured in the club's successful promotion push in 2010.
One of those players was French Under-21 international midfielder Griezmann, whose acrobatic volley produced the first goal last week. "I was so happy with that performance," explained the 22-year-old, who grew up in Macon, 65km from Lyon. "We were very keen to show Europe that we had a good team that can play good football. We were solid in defence while we took advantage of our chances going forward."

Having made headlines for all of the right reasons last season - as they stunned Barcelona and made it through to the last-16 - Celtic will be determined to ensure that the tables are not turned a year on.

Progress in continental competition is vital to the Glasgow giants as it helps to generate much-needed funds.

Elimination at this stage would leave Neil Lennon's side facing up to a campaign dominated by domestic action, and that could leave them vulnerable to approaches from afar before the summer transfer window closes and again in January.

There is a determination within the Celtic ranks to make amends for their Kazakh humbling, with the reigning SPL champions confident they can enjoy another memorable European night at Parkhead.
Shakhtyor are in Scotland to spoil the party, though, and their coach Viktor Kumykov believes his troops can claim a prized scalp and make history by becoming the first Kazakh club to grace the group stage.

He said: "We are quite confident before this game. It won't be a disaster for us if we don't qualify for the Champions League stage and go to the Europa League because in football, it is sometimes better to develop in stages.

"What really matters is on the football pitch, the game and the final score. We scored twice in the first leg and Celtic failed to score; that's what really matters."
Team news

Beram Kayal will miss Celtic's crucial play-off clash on Wednesday night with a groin complaint.

The Israel midfielder picked up the injury in Saturday's 2-2 home Scottish Premiership draw with Inverness and is set to be sidelined for a fortnight.

Although Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk was troubled with a hamstring at the weekend, he will be fit.

Anthony Stokes (calf), Georgios Samaras (toe), Derk Boerrigter (ankle) and James Forrest (sciatica) all missed the game against Caley but trained on Tuesday, and while Kris Commons (groin) will not train ahead of the game, Lennon is not ruling him out.

Celtic are facing up to the journey from hell to Kazakhstan in their bid to land a £15million dream ticket into the lucrative group stage of the Uefa Champions League.

The Hoops were paired with Shakhter Karagandy in today’s draw for the play-off round, with the first leg of the tie to be played in Kazakhstan on either Tuesday, August 20, or Wednesday, August 21, with the return at Parkhead on Tuesday, August 27 or Wednesday, August 28.

It is the first time a Scottish team has been drawn against a side from central Asia – Kazakhstan borders Russia and China – which is further east than Tehran – and the Parkhead side will not relish the gruelling journey that lies in wait.

The trek involves a flight of around eight hours, and it is real a headache for Neil Lennon’s side who have the added complication of knowing very little about their opponents.

Shakhter eliminated BATE Borisov in the previous qualifying round; Borisov were one of only two clubs seeded higher than Celtic in the “Champions Path”.

AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven UEFA Champions League Match 28 -August 2013

AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven UEFA Champions League Match 28 -August 2013.A rather brilliant first leg performance by a very young and talented PSV was not rewarded with a victory, instead the young team came away with what many would call a creditable draw against an AC Milan team that, at times, looks very threatening going forward, but at other times looked anemic. Watch AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Live, Watch AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Live Stream, Watch AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Free Live Stream, Watch AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Online, Watch AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Online Free, AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven Live, AC Milan V PSV Eindhoven live stream Online.It is hard to gauge how good or bad teams are this time of the season, but Milan look disjointed and out of synch in their opening Serie A game. While Balotelli and ElSharawaay are very talented attackers, the midfield behind them lacks creativity and there is no real speed in the team. Abate , Mexes and Zapata will marshall the defence and the team is full of experience and wont be easily beaten, but at the moment I think Ac Milan fans will not be overly confident of getting a result tomorrow night.

PSV manager Phillip Cocu was a terrific footballer in his day and his team are playing terrific free flowing attack-minded football at the moment. The addition of Ji Sung Park, the former Manchester United midfielder, provides lots of experience to a youthful and exciting squad of players. There is some real talent running through this PSV side with Bakkali, Wijnaldum, Depy and Maher. Can the youth prevail in one of the biggest games of their careers, in a hostile atsomphere in one of the cauldrons of world football against one of the giants of the european game? Well, this is why we watch football isnt it? To see games like this!After the mauling taken by Milan over the weekend at the hands of newly promoted Hellas Verona, a positive midweek result vs. PSV is mandatory.

Hi-res-177206044_crop_exact Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images
Christian Abbiati was tested plenty in the first leg

The Rossoneri find themselves in the Champions League qualifiers, a somewhat unknown entity for them, after narrowly squeaking into the top three last season. Despite Milan having a better, more experienced side, no team in this competition can be taken lightly.

After the first match in Holland, it was clear that coach Massimiliano Allegri's men had a lot of work to do to get by a young Dutch side which seemed fearless throughout the course of the match.

The most worrying facet in Allegri's starting XI is their inability to handle set pieces, as they conceded the most goals from the air in Serie A last season. You can bet that lanky PSV striker Tim Matavz has perked his ears plenty at these statistics.

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, I think PSV have a terrific chance of turning Ac Milan over if they do not let the occasion get to them. Milan are a good side, but definitely beatable and the pace of PSV can cause Ac Milan some real problems on the counter attack. On the betting front, though, I'm going to take both teams to score and try to cash an early winner before throwing a little something on PSV to win outright

Online Ray Donovan Season 1 Episode 9 Road Trip Review

Ray Donovan, a professional "fixer" for the rich and famous in LA, can make anyone's problems disappear except those created by his own family.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast I may have had my expectations set a little too high for the pilot episode of Ray Donovan. I was hoping the pilot of RD would be as good as the pilots of other Showtime shows, Homeland/Dexter, but unfortunately it was not. The pilot was confusing, and it was hard to keep interested at times. I only say that because there were so many characters being thrown at you very quickly. I am not saying that this show has too many characters (even though a lot of people on this site seem to think so), I am just saying they should ease into the supporting characters and their story lines. With that being said, I think they have some great characters on the show, with a ton of potential. It helps when you have amazing actors, i.e. Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight.

I am really excited to see what will transpire in the first season of Ray Donovan. With great actors and great writing, I think this could be the next great Showtime show, maybe not the quality of Homeland or Dexter (seasons 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7), but we won't know for sure until at least the end of this season. My hope is that it can become the next Mad Men or Breaking Bad like some critics have been saying.

One last thing: I think people should not hate on this show (or any show) just by only watching the pilot. Unless you really hate it or it is something that doesn't interest you at all, you should give it at least 3-4 episodes before making a decision.The show starts of with Mickey Donovan being released from prison on probation. Right after he is released he kills a man. It then cuts to Ray Donovan being a woken by a call, the man on the phone woke up next to a dead person. Later on Ray is with his family, he has a daughter and a son. Ray takes care of the man. He then goes to his other client who wants him to stalk his girlfriend. While he watches her, there is a man outside her house watching her. Ray gets his license plate number, and goes to her door, and tells her what has happened. It turns out that that they know each other. She has a drink, and then they begin to kiss. It turns out that she has Epilepsy, and she has a small time seizure. Later on Ray is in the stalkers room, and threatens him not to go near her again, and if he did he would die. Ray goes to his brother and his brother tells him that his father is coming, and he has a half brother. After that they go to his clients party, where his client feels betrayed and tells his wife that he ****** the girl. His wife gets mad. He then brakes the old clients finger. Later on Ray talks to his wife, and warns her to stay away from his dad, because he is coming. Back at the girls house, she is doing yoga in her living room, and the stalker is on her patio watching her. Later on Ray and his father meet, and they talk. Ray gets mad, and leaves. As the episode comes to a close, Ray is beating the stalker to death. Meanwhile back at Ray's house, Mickey is at the front door, Ray's wife lets him in, and the episode ends with Mickey hugging the daughter.

Online Unforgettable Unforgettable Season 2 Episode 5 Past Tense Review

Unforgettable stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, an enigmatic former police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that every place, every conversation,Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast every moment of joy and every heartbreak is forever embedded in her mind. It's not just that she doesn't forget anything - she can't; except for one thing: the details that would help solve her sister's long-ago murder. Carrie has tried to put her past behind her, but she's unexpectedly reunited with her ex-boyfriend and partner, NYPD Detective Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), when she consults on a homicide case. His squad includes Det. Mike Costello (Michael Gaston), Al's right-hand man; Detective Roe Saunders (Kevin Rankin), the junior member of the team; and Detective Nina Inara (Daya Vaidya), a sassy, street-smart cop. Being back on the job after a break feels surprisingly right for Carrie. Despite her conflicted feelings for Al, she decides to permanently join his unit as a detective solving homicides - most notably, the unsolved murder of her sister. All she needs to do is remember.I totally love everything about this show ... the concept is fantastic and actually believable! All of the actors are superb, particularly Poppy Montgomery, Michael Gaston and Dylan Walsh! Also, the skepticism shown by team members Kevin Rankin and Daya Vaidya are absolutely perfect!

In a lot of ways, Carrie is the female version of Patrick Jane from The Mentalist. I love the strength and vulnerability displayed by Carrie and Patrick Jane. Jane's wife and child were murdered by Red John and Patrick feels responsible because he taunted Red John on television. With Carrie, the murder of her big sister, Rachel, when they were children, was a traumatic event that is compounded by the fact that Carrie she can't remember specific details of Rachel's murder and it remains unsolved. It haunts Carrie as an adult because it's the ONLY thing in her entire life that she CAN'T remember! Carrie's childhood experiences with cops and shrinks investigating Rachel's murder, make her a better cop as she is more aware of the trauma being experienced by both victims and witnesses alike.

Good writing, good acting and good time slot are all high praise to CBS! I just hope they will give Unforgettable a fair chance to develop a strong following. Having Poppy Montgomery with her Criminal Minds fan base and Michael Gaston with his Mentalist fan base are an added bonus for the show. Having the show follow solid shows like NCIS and NCIS: LA make Unforgettable's ratings almost a guarantee.I am a fan of The Listener so another show with similarities is fine by me, I am not sure what the other reviewers were watching but it could not have been the same show as I watched. The one I watched was quite good and I really liked Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh. I can not recall any other shows that Poppy Montgomery has been in but I liked Dylan Walsh in one of my favourite movies, The Lake House.

Poppy Montgomery plays a former Siracusa police detective named Carrie Wells, who suffers from hyperthymesia, a rare medical condition that gives her the ability to remember everything she sees and hears, only a very small number of people in the world have been documented as suffering from it. Her neighbour is murdered and as part of the investigation, her former boyfriend and one-time partner discovers she is a witness and asks her to join his homicide unit to help solve the case.

By day she is a volunteer at a aged care facility and by night she plays blackjack to support herself.

During the show with repeated flashbacks we start to discover that her sister was murdered and that she is still trying to find out who murdered her.

I thought the pilot was quite good and not being from the USA I did not care that the accents were not genuine as some of the other reviewers have complained about.

I recommend it to anyone wanting to watch another police show with a few special abilities thrown in.

I gave it an 8 and will continue to watch it until it is canceled like so many other good shows these days.

Online Catfish The TV Show Season 2 Episode 10 Artis & Jess Review

How do young people who've embraced the digital age find love? Often, it's by connecting online with people they've never met in person. These days, messaging on iPhones has replaced the dinner date, and emailing through social media sites often substitutes for face-to-face conversations.Live Streaming Video Free Online Tv at Home Game online for Live stream Video on your Online TV Broad cast The problem with this approach - the guy or girl you've fallen for could be lying about who they really are. Now, from the producers of the acclaimed documentary film, Catfish, comes a new MTV series that brings together couples who've interacted solely through their LCD screens. Over the course of months or years - these romantics have become smitten - but what will happen when they meet in real life for the first time? In each episode, with the guidance and help of the star of the Catfish movie, Nev Schulman, and his filmmaking pal, Max Joseph, a hopeful romantic partner will go on an emotional journey to discover the truth about their significant other. Has that object of affection been telling the truth? Will true love truly blossom? When that fateful knock on the front door finally comes - only one thing is certain - that these incredible voyages will be filled with mystery, uncertainty, forgiveness, joy, and sometimes, even shocking revelations.Catfish follows around Nev and his film crew, helping love struck people expose the true identities of their online flirtations. Some of the anonymous love interests turn out to be exactly who they are... but others aren't so lucky.

I've never watched the Catfish documentary which started the TV series, but now I'm tempted to. There's something so appealing about the whole anonymous relationship thing, since it's something that's become the norm in our culture and a whole new way of dating and courtship.

I like the way the show is set up. We learn not only about the main person looking for their online friend, but we get to learn about the person behind the profile, despite them remaining anonymous to us throughout the first 30 minutes of the show. The camera work is straight forward and inviting, we even see Nev's friend Max constantly recording everything!

The only issue I have with this show is, once you have seen the outcomes of a few episodes, you will know what to expect from the rest, which kind of takes away the shock value that makes this show seem so appealing.Catfishing is one of those concepts that one can only truly understand if one has experienced it. And personally, I think that only people that have been catfished can truly understand this show and the people in it.

People here say that it seems fake, because there is no way that the people being catfished would be so stupid. But no, let me tell you that that point is completely realistic. No one seems to understand that when you feel so captivated by someone, you accept everything that they tell you and even become delusional. You start to believe all their excuses and even feel guilty about questioning their identity.

I am glad that they always try to get the other side of the story as well. We like to satanize catfishes and believe that they are just pure evil. But it really isn't always like that. No one understand how sad it is to be rejected by your appearance, how hard it is to have so much to say but no one to listen. People also seem to think that they go out of their way just to make their "evil catfishing plan" to work. But really, making a fake profile only takes minutes. Covering the holes with excuses is really easy as well, specially (as I said before) when the other person is so captivated that they begin to lose common sense. Most catfishes don't even have mean intentions, they just want someone to talk, but eventually things get out of hand. No one seems to remember how hard it is to come clean after lying for so long.

Some things (scenes) might be a little fabricated, but everything on TV is, and not only realities, also documentaries and news. And you know what? Even if the stories are indeed fake, I don't really care, because I know they can be real and I know much worse stories than the ones depicted here.

I really like this show, I am glad that MTV take this kind of risks to at least try to bring something different on air. I never thought that feeling awkward and cringing at the TV would be entertaining.
