10 Things To Look Out For This Weekend

... reacts if Wolves begin well and threaten to add to Liverpool’s woeful start to 2017. The last time Wolves won at Anfield, in 2010-11 , the home fans gave a memorable example of terrace wit when they began advocating a hilarious stunt. “Hodgson for England!” they bawled, possibly not expecting the FA to take the suggestion seriously and employ their then manager. Roy Hodgson complained afterwards that “ever since I’ve been here the famous Anfield support hasn’t been there”. Klopp, by contrast, has been hailed as a potential saviour ever since his arrival. Belief in him remains strong among Liverpool fans but some of his recent decisions are testing their faith. PD.

Southampton 0-5 Arsenal

... to reshuffle effectively the way Wenger can. Arsenal’s hat-trick hero Theo Walcott applauds the travelling fans as he holds onto the match ball. Photograph: Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images. 90 mins: We’ll have a trifling two minutes added on. No point in adding any more I guess. 89 mins: Perez nearly makes it six, bearing down on goal in a one-on-one from a long perceptive ball forward, with the outside of the boot, from Oxlade-Chamberlain but Lewis blocks. Goal! Southampton 0-5 Arsenal (Walcott, 85 hat-trick). Arsenal’s fans are now singing their old Vieira song – that moment (rare for fans of most clubs, most of the time) – when you can just relax and have a singalong about any and everything, regardless of relevance to the match situation at hand. In that match situation, Southampton are actually seeing a lot of the ball at the moment. But doing nothing with it. And unlike them, Arsenal are. They break swiftly through Sánchez, he rolls it from left to right on the edge of the area, and Walcott strokes ...

Wes Morgan’s Late Header Rescues Leicester And Denies Derby Fa Cup Scalp

... Mc Claren. Scott Carson: ‘I tried to give my Champions League medal to Chris Kirkland, but he said no’. Read more. Perhaps that incident was playing on Bent’s mind 13 minutes later when he climbed above Ben Chilwell to meet Hughes’s perfectly flighted cross with a header that drifted into the far corner of the net. The game was wide open at that stage and Leicester came close to restoring their advantage moments later when Shinji Okazaki thumped a rising 20-yard shot that Carson brilliantly tipped over the bar. Derby, though, were beginning to play with more confidence and snatched the lead when Bryson capitalised on Danny Simpson’s poor header, accelerated into the space that opened up in the inside left channel and beat Schmeichel. Chasing the game, Leicester laid siege to the Derby goal early in the second half. Carson smothered Gray’s close-range shot, then the Derby keeper breathed a sigh of relief when another attempt from the substitute hit the far post. Okazaki still looked certain to turn in the rebound but Bradley Johnson blocked the forward’s shot before Carson, once again in the right place at the right time, made an instinctive save. ...

Lincoln, Wolves & Oxford Headline Day Of Fourth-round Upsets

... a heartbreaking 4-3 loss at White Hart Lane. The lads have done me and the town so proud. Wycombe boss Gareth Ainsworth. Son Heung-min's stoppage-time winner rescued the Premier League side, who were rocked on their heels by Paul Hayes' sweetly struck left-footed volley that put Wycombe ahead. The captain grabbed his second from the spot to double the visitors' lead before Son's deflected effort on the hour and a Vincent Janssen penalty four minutes later pulled Spurs level. Substitute Garry Thompson headed in Myles Weston's cross with seven minutes to go to put Gareth Ainsworth's side back in front, but Dele Alli pulled Spurs level again before Son scrambled in a late winner. "The lads have done me and the town so proud," Wycombe boss Ainsworth said. "It was an outstanding effort from the boys. I am so proud, disappointed but it is now back to the reality of Exeter away.". This content will not work on your device, please check Javascript and cookies are enabled or update your browser.

Liverpool Out Of The Fa Cup After Shock Wolves Defeat At Anfield

... Grigor Dimitrov in an incredibly tense five setter that went for just under five hours. More videos. Wolves shock Liverpool in FA Cup. The first shock of the FA Cup 4 th round came at Anfield where a 2-1 victory for Wolves ended Liverpool's final realistic chance of silverware this season. And Tottenham needed injury time heroics to get past League Two Wycombe Wanderers, who twice blew a late game lead before going down 4-3. Goals by Richard Stearman and Andreas Weimann proved enough for Wolves, 18 th in the second tier, to inflict a third home defeat in a week on Juergen Klopp's faltering side. Related Content.

As Rivals Struggle In Fa Cup, Chelsea Flaunts Squad Strength

... with nine changes made to the side that beat Hull in the English Premier League last weekend, this was an exhibition of strength in depth. And more significantly, youth from the league leader. As rivals Liverpool and Tottenham made similar personnel changes and struggled in the FA Cup, Antonio Conte's side displayed the professionalism and ruthlessness that has seen them win 13 of their last 14 games in all competitions and build an eight-point lead in the title race. "This competition has been an opportunity for me to put players in that aren't playing a lot," Conte said. "But it was very important to see the right reaction from these players, so I'm very happy.". Chelsea's extraordinary form has been aided by its absence from European competition, which has contributed to a lack of injuries, enabling Conte to field the same starting lineup with unparalleled regularity. The one negative to come from this has been the lack of opportunities available to the wider squad — from the emerging talent through to the ...

Sutton United's Fa Cup Giantkillers Stare At Glass Ceiling Ahead Of Leeds Tie

... good to the club, who knocked out Coventry – then in the top flight – in 1989. But the primary purpose of the money they will earn from their Cup run this year will be to pay for the pitch that has “transformed the club.”. “At the moment we can’t play in the Football League,” explained Elliott. “I think it’s ludicrous, but we knew that when we put the 3 G pitch down. We can’t say we didn’t, it was a choice we made and it’s definitely the right one. Leeds are resurgent under Garry Monk. “You have to realise, that 18 months ago we were not in the running to win the National League South. We were trying to get back into the National League, but the thought we might be one day pushing for promotion to the Football League, well, it didn’t seem realistic. In a very short space of time, we went on a 26-game unbeaten run and won the league. We wanted to have another go at the ...

Oxford United Cruise Past Newcastle Into Fifth Round

... Having been brought down in the penalty area by Phil Edwards, the Serbian saw his spot-kick brilliantly saved by the Oxford goalkeeper, Simon Eastwood, diving to his right. Newcastle, who have not reached the fifth round since 2006, were punished when the Oxford centre-half Curtis Nelson made it 2-0 on 79 minutes, firmly heading home Rob Hall’s corner at the back post. And the 19-year-old Spanish striker Toni Martínez added a third, on his debut, with a well-placed looping header three minutes from time. Dissent was in the air at Ewood Park where many Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool fans boycotted their fourth-round tie, many protesting against their respective club owners instead in the stadium car park, from where tennis balls were thrown into the ground at one stage in the first half. On the pitch, however, Blackburn won comfortably 2-0 in front of a sparse crowd of 9,327. It made it a disappointing return to Blackburn for their former manager Gary Bowyer, now in charge of their League Two visitors. Rovers, who ...
