Aston Villa vs Arsenal 6/2/2021 Premier League

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Premier League, weekmatch 22 Feb 6, 2021 at 12.30pm UK Aston Villa vs. Arsenal Preview Football Preview: Aston Villa vs. Arsenal - prediction, team news, lineups Aston Villa and Arsenal will both be aiming to bounce back from demoralising defeats in midweek when they kick off Premier League gameweek 23 at Villa Park on Saturday lunchtime. Match preview Smith's men have only taken maximum points from two of their last seven matches in the Premier League and now find themselves six points adrift of West Ham in fifth, but something has to give when seventh-placed Tottenham Hotspur take on eighth-placed Chelsea on Thursday, so a win for Villa over Arsenal would see them leapfrog at least one of those teams depending on the outcome of that London derby. Smith's loyalty to a small crop of regular first-team players could end up proving costly as fatigue sets in - the likes of Ross Barkley and John McGinn did not produce their most fruitful performances against West Ham - and the Villa boss will be expected to shuffle the pack against an Arsenal side who also have a point to prove. David Luiz giving away penalties and being brandished from the field of play is nothing new, but the Brazilian had every right to feel hard done by against Wolves in midweek. Mikel Arteta's men were well on top and took a deserved lead through Nicolas Pepe's opener, but Luiz was adjudged to have fouled Willian Jose in the area on the stroke of half time, and the former Chelsea man was given a straight red card for the third time as an Arsenal player before Ruben Neves slotted home. There was no air of controversy surrounding Joao Moutinho's spectacular winner in the second half, and any hopes of an Arsenal comeback were quickly dashed when Bernd Leno handled outside the area and was also given his marching orders. Several Gunners players took to social media to voice their dismay after the match, with Luiz labelling his sending off as "unbelievable", but Arteta's men cannot afford to feel sorry for themselves and must aim to get back on track straight away. The visitors had strung together a seven-game unbeaten run in the top flight - five wins and two draws - before their torrid evening at Molineux, but that defeat has seen them slump to 10th in the table and they are now nine points adrift of the Champions League places. Arteta's men could potentially rise as high as seventh with a win depending on Thursday's result, although that scenario is highly unlikely given Spurs' and Chelsea's superior goal difference, and Villa have come out on top in the last two meetings between the two clubs. Aston Villa Premier League form: LLWLWL Aston Villa form (all competitions): LLWLWL Arsenal Premier League form: WDWWDL Arsenal form (all competitions): DWLWDL Team News Villa only have two injury concerns in the form of Wesley and Kortney Hause, but it would be a surprise not to see Smith make some alterations amid a taxing schedule. The hosts hauled off Anwar El Ghazi for Bertrand Traore at half time against West Ham and the latter should start out wide here, while new arrival Morgan Sanson could feature from the first whistle over Barkley. Jack Grealish notched up his 12th assist of the top-flight campaign with his delightful pass for Watkins's goal on Wednesday - no player in the top flight has set up more goals than the 25-year-old this season. With Leno suspended for Arsenal and Mat Ryan nursing a hip problem, Runar Alex Runarsson could make his first Premier League start for the club at Villa Park. Luiz will be replaced in the heart of defence by Gabriel Magalhaes, who will hope to force his way back into the first team on a regular basis from now on, but Arteta conceded that Kieran Tierney "was not close at all" to being ready for the Wolves game. The Arsenal boss has a huge call to make on the left-hand side with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang now back in action, but Pepe has stepped up his game in recent weeks and it would be extremely harsh to drop him. Aston Villa possible starting lineup: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Targett; Luiz, McGinn; Traore, Sanson, Grealish; Watkins Arsenal possible starting lineup: Runarsson; Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Cedric; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Lacazette We say: Aston Villa 1-2 Arsenal Emiliano Martinez Jesse Lingard Tomas Soucek Ollie Watkins Dean Smith Ross Barkley John McGinn Kortney Hause Wesley Anwar El Ghazi Bertrand Traore Morgan Sanson Jack Grealish Mikel Arteta David Luiz Nicolas Pepe Willian Jose Ruben Neves Joao Moutinho Bernd Leno Runar Alex Runarsson Mat Ryan Gabriel Magalhaes Kieran Tierney Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Football

Fulham vs Manchester United 20/1/2021 Premier League/ FIFA 21

Fulham vs Man Utd Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Headlines Football Previews Jan 20, 2021, at 8.15pm UK at Craven Cottage Fulham vs Manchester United Build-up Preview FOOTBALL Preview: Fulham vs. Manchester United - prediction, team news, lineups Manchester United can ensure that they will occupy top spot in the Premier League table at the halfway stage of their season when they take on Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday night. The Red Devils drew 0-0 with champions Liverpool on Sunday night to keep hold of first place, and they face a Fulham side without a Premier League win to their name since November. Match preview Not for the first time this season, a hugely-anticipated and heavily-billed big game failed to live up to the hype on Sunday as Liverpool and Manchester United played out a largely dull and uneventful goalless draw at Anfield. While the result arguably benefitted Manchester City more than either of the teams involved, Man United would have undoubtedly been the happier of the two sides on Merseyside as they hung on to top spot in the Premier League table and came through what on paper is their biggest test of the season relatively unscathed. It is a sign of their changing mindset and ambition that they came away from Anfield with a tinge of disappointment too; a point at the home of the champions would have been gleefully accepted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had he been offered it before the match, but his side created the two biggest chances and, but for Alisson Becker in the Liverpool goal, could have become the first visiting team to win a league game at Anfield since April 2017. Even more importantly, it could have lifted them six points clear of the champions and maintained the four-point gap to Manchester City and Leicester City, but as it stands those two teams are now only two points adrift. Indeed, with both of them in action before Man United in midweek it could be that Solskjaer's side arrive at Craven Cottage sitting third in the table, but the very fact that they are still in the mix - and could guarantee top spot after 19 games of their season with victory - must be taken as an unexpected positive for the 20-time champions. Key to doing that will be to maintain their away form; the draw at Anfield means that Man United have now gone more than a year without losing a top-flight away game, and should they avoid defeat on Wednesday then they would equal their club-record of 17 consecutive Premier League games on the road without defeat. This season alone Man United are the only team yet to lose on the road and have picked up the most points and scored the most goals on their travels, so they will make the trip to West London full of belief that they will extend what is now a 12-game unbeaten run in the league. The Red Devils have won their last four top-flight away games against Fulham by an aggregate score of 12-1 and are unbeaten in their last eight top-flight meetings with promoted sides, scoring 25 goals in that time. Fulham Premier League form: DDDDDL Manchester United Premier League form: WDWWWD Manchester United form (all competitions): WWLWWD Team News Robinson's rash challenge in the West London derby means that he will miss Fulham's next three matches through suspension, with Joe Bryan set to deputise on the left. Tom Cairney, Mario Lemina and Terence Kongolo also remain sidelined for Parker's men, but there is likely to be better news elsewhere. Aleksandar Mitrovic should be available again after only narrowly missing out at the weekend, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is back in contention after being forced to sit out against his parent club. Manchester United have a relatively clean bill of health, with Brandon Williams, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo - all of whom have been linked with moves away from the club anyway - the only absentees. Solskjaer faces an interesting selection dilemma as to whether to shuffle his pack knowing that another showdown with Liverpool - this time in the FA Cup - awaits at the weekend. The Premier League remains the priority, particularly now that his side find themselves in a title race, so wholesale changes are not likely, but there could be some tinkering to keep legs fresh. Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood, Eric Bailly and Alex Telles are among the players pushing for a start after missing out on the XI at Anfield. Fulham possible starting lineup: Areola; Aina, Andersen, Adarabioyo; Tete, Cordova-Reid, Reed, Anguissa, Bryan; Cavaleiro, Lookman Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Pogba; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Cavani We say: Fulham 0-1 Manchester United Premier League clash between Fulham and Man Utd Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Alisson Becker Scott Parker Antonee Robinson Tom Cairney Mario Lemina Terence Kongolo Aleksandar Mitrovic Joe Bryan Ruben Loftus-Cheek Brandon Williams Phil Jones Marcos Rojo Edinson Cavani Mason Greenwood Eric Bailly Alex Telles

Arsenal vs Newcastle United 18/1/2021 Premier League

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 #ARSNEW #AFC #NEW #PremierLeague Arsenal vs Newcastle Jan 18, 2021 at 8pm UK Arsenal vs Newcastle United Build‑up Preview Football Preview: Arsenal vs. Newcastle United - prediction, team news, lineups Arsenal will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they continue their 2020-21 campaign at home to Newcastle United on Monday night. The Gunners were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace on Thursday, while Newcastle will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 defeat away to Sheffield United on Tuesday. Match preview Arsenal had won three Premier League games in a row against Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and West Bromwich Albion ahead of Thursday's clash with Palace, but Mikel Arteta's side could not find a way through against the Eagles as the points were shared in a goalless draw. The result has left the Gunners in 11th position in the table, some eight points off the top four, and it is very difficult to imagine the capital giants challenging high up the division in the final stages of the season. There have been signs of progress in recent weeks, though, with the club winning four of their last five matches in all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Newcastle in the FA Cup last weekend. Arsenal have actually won 14 of their last 15 Premier League games against the Magpies, who have lost their last eight away league games to the Gunners, which points to a home victory on Monday night. Arteta's side have dropped league points to Leicester City, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Burnley, Southampton and Palace at the Emirates Stadium this term, though, and the clash with Steve Bruce's team is a potential banana skin for FA Cup holders. Newcastle, meanwhile, will enter the contest off the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United, with the Blades securing their first league win of the season courtesy of a penalty from Billy Sharp. The Magpies had Ryan Fraser sent off at Bramall Lane, but the manner of the performance was disappointing, and there is certainly pressure from the club's supporters on head coach Bruce. Newcastle have won five, drawn four and lost eight of their 17 league matches this season to sit down in 15th position in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone. The four-time English champions picked up a welcome point at home to the champions Liverpool at the end of December but have not actually triumphed in the top flight since December 12, and they are now heading into a tough double-header away to Arsenal and away to Aston Villa. Arsenal Premier League form: DLWWWD Arsenal form (all competitions): LWWWWD Newcastle United Premier League form: LDLDLL Newcastle United form (all competitions): LLDLLL Team News Arsenal will again be without the services of central defender Pablo Mari on Monday night, while young attacker Gabriel Martinelli remains a doubt with an ankle problem. The club have allegedly received a huge boost when it comes to Kieran Tierney, though, with a scan believed to have shown that the Scotland international has not suffered any serious damage to his calf, meaning that he could be back in the starting XI for this fixture. Arteta is expected to keep faith with the majority of the side that started against Palace, but Gabriel and Thomas Partey are pushing for spots in the team, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles will be the player to drop out if Tierney proves his fitness ahead of the contest. As for Newcastle, Fraser will miss the trip to the Emirates Stadium through suspension, while Allan Saint-Maximin has returned to training but is still unavailable as he deals with the effects of coronavirus. Paul Dummett is available, but Jamal Lewis, Federico Fernandez, Jonjo Shelvey and Jamaal Lascelles will all have to be assessed for the Magpies, who have won just two away games in the league this season. Bruce is expected to make changes from the Sheffield United clash, with Miguel Almiron and Joelinton in line for recalls, but Callum Wilson, who has eight league goals this season, will again lead the line. Arsenal possible starting lineup: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang; Lacazette Newcastle United possible starting lineup: Darlow; Yedlin, Lascelles, Schar, Clark, Dummett; Almiron, Hendrick, S Longstaff, Joelinton; Wilson We say: Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United Mikel Arteta Steve Bruce Kieran Tierney Thomas Partey Ainsley Maitland-Niles Joelinton Gabriel Martinelli Billy Sharp Ryan Fraser Pablo Mari Allan Saint-Maximin Jonjo Shelvey Jamaal Lascelles Paul Dummett Jamal Lewis Callum Wilson Miguel Almiron Gabriel Federico Fernandez Football

FC Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao 17/1/2021 Super Cup

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Barcelona vs Athletic Bilbao Jan 17, 2021 at 8pm UK Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao Preview Football Preview: Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao - prediction, team news, lineups Barcelona will be attempting to win the Spanish Super Cup for the 14th time in their history when they take on Athletic Bilbao in the final of the competition on Sunday night. Ronald Koeman's side beat Real Sociedad on penalties to advance to the final, while Athletic were surprise winners over Real Madrid, recording a 2-1 victory over the holders on Thursday. Match preview Barca will enter Sunday's final as the favourites, and the Catalan outfit, as mentioned, will be bidding to lift the trophy for the 14th time in their history, reclaiming the crown from Real Madrid in the process. Koeman's side were given a tough examination by Sociedad in Wednesday's semi-final but managed to triumph on penalties when the two teams could not be separated in normal play. Barca are now on a run of nine games unbeaten in all competitions, while they have not lost a domestic match since the start of December, with things starting to turn for the club. The Catalan giants still have a lot of work to do in La Liga if they are to be considered challengers for the title as they sit seven points off leaders Atletico Madrid, who have two games in hand. Koeman will be determined to lift his first trophy as Barca boss this weekend, but Athletic, having ensured that there would not be another El Clasico, will enter the contest full of confidence. Many expected Madrid and Barca to lock horns in Sunday's final, but Athletic had not read the script, with the Basque outfit triumphing courtesy of a 2-1 victory in Malaga. Raul Garcia scored a brace for Marcelino's side, and Los Blancos could not force a late equaliser despite halving the deficit through Karim Benzema in the 73rd minute of the contest. The Lions have won the Spanish Super Cup on two previous occasions, the last of which came in 2015, when they incredibly beat Barca 5-1 on aggregate, including a 4-0 victory in the first leg at San Mames. Athletic's last league match was actually against Koeman's side on January 6, and an entertaining match finished 3-2 to the Catalan outfit, with the result leaving Marcelino's side down in 12th position in the table. The fact that Barca have had 24 hours more to prepare for this contest could make a huge difference, but Los Leones will have their eyes on a quickfire double over the two biggest clubs in Spain. Barcelona Supercopa de Espana form: WLLWLW Barcelona form (all competitions): WDWWWW Athletic Bilbao Supercopa de Espana form: LLWDW Athletic Bilbao form (all competitions): WDLWLW Team News Barca will again be without the services of Philippe Coutinho, Gerard Pique, Sergi Roberto and Ansu Fati through injury, but Lionel Messi could return from the hamstring issue that forced him to miss the semi-final. Sergino Dest was also left out of the XI against Sociedad due to a slight issue, but the summer arrival should return, taking the place of Oscar Mingueza in the process. Koeman is expected to resist the temptation to shuffle his pack on Sunday, meaning that Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele should retain their spots in attack, with Martin Braithwaite expected to be the player to drop out to allow Messi to return to the side. As for Athletic, Unai Lopez and Peru Nolaskoain remain unavailable for selection through injury, while Yuri Berchiche is still a doubt, meaning that Mikel Balenziaga should continue at left-back. It would not be a surprise to see Marcelino select the same XI that took to the field against Madrid, with Inaki Williams joining Raul Garcia in the final third, where there should also be spots for Iker Muniain and Oscar de Marcos in the wide positions. Mikel Vesga and Alex Berenguer are options for change in midfield, but Unai Vencedor should again get the nod alongside Dani Garcia in the middle of the park. Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araujo, Lenglet, Alba; Busquets, De Jong; Griezmann, Pedri, Dembele; Messi Athletic Bilbao possible starting lineup: Simon; Capa, Nunez, Martinez, Balenziaga; De Marcos, Vencedor, D Garcia, Muniain; Williams, R Garcia We say: Barcelona 2-1 Athletic Bilbao Raul Garcia Marcelino Karim Benzema Lionel Messi Sergi Roberto Ansu Fati Gerard Pique Philippe Coutinho Martin Braithwaite Antoine Griezmann Oscar Mingueza Sergino Dest Ousmane Dembele Pedri Yuri Berchiche Peru Nolaskoain Unai Lopez Mikel Vesga Alex Berenguer Unai Vencedor Dani Garcia Mikel Balenziaga Inaki Williams Iker Muniain Oscar de Marcos Ronald Koeman Football

Manchester United vs Watford 9/1/2021 The Emirates FA Cup

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Jan 9, 2021, at 8pm UK at Old Trafford Manchester United vs Watford Preview: Manchester United vs. Watford - prediction, team news, lineups Manchester United will be looking to book their spot in the fourth round of this season's FA Cup when they welcome Championship side, Watford, to Old Trafford on Saturday night. The Red Devils, who won the last of their 12 FA Cups in 2016, suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the semi-finals of the EFL Cup on Wednesday, while Watford will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City in the Championship on January 2. Match preview United's recent form has been excellent, winning eight of their last 10 in the Premier League to rise into second position in the table, level on points with leaders Liverpool. The Red Devils will have the chance to move to the summit on Tuesday, ahead of the trip to Liverpool on January 17, as they play their game in hand against Burnley at Turf Moor. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side saw their EFL Cup challenge come to an end on Wednesday night, though, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat to bitter rivals Man City in the semi-finals of the competition. The league will take priority for United this season, but Solskjaer wants to deliver a trophy as soon as possible, and the FA Cup might arguably be the team's best chance of silverware this term. The 20-time English champions, as mentioned, have won this competition on 12 occasions, the last of which was in 2016; they reached the semi-finals of last season's tournament, but David de Gea had a match to forget against Chelsea as the Blues recorded a 3-1 victory to advance. Watford, meanwhile, will enter the match off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Swansea, which left the Hornets down in sixth position in the Championship table. A record of 10 wins, seven draws and five defeats from 22 matches has brought the Hertfordshire club 37 points, which has left them 10 points off the top of the division, a spot which is currently occupied by Norwich City. Xisco is now in charge of the second-tier club, with the 40-year-old replacing Vladimir Ivic, who was sacked before Christmas, meaning that there has now been 13 changes of manager since June 2012. Watford suffered a 4-1 defeat to United when the two teams last met in the FA Cup back in 2007, with Wayne Rooney inspiring the English giants to the final. The Hornets have actually lost six of their last seven matches with the Red Devils in all competitions, but they recorded a 2-0 win when the two teams met at Vicarage Road in December 2019. Manchester United FA Cup form: DWWWWL Manchester United form (all competitions): WWDWWL Watford FA Cup form: WWWLDL Watford form (all competitions): WWDLWL Team News United will again be without the services of Phil Jones through injury and Edinson Cavani through suspension, while Marcos Rojo remains a huge fitness doubt for Solskjaer's team. Facundo Pellistri had potentially been in line to make his debut for the club, but the youngster has tested positive for coronavirus and will therefore not be involved. The hosts are expected to make a number of changes from the side that started against Man City as they will face Burnley in the Premier League on Tuesday ahead of a trip to Anfield. Axel Tuanzebe, Donny van de Beek, Daniel James and Juan Mata should all come into the starting XI, while Eric Bailly could return to the heart of the defence. Anthony Martial could be on the bench against Burnley on Tuesday with Cavani serving the final game of his three-match suspension here, meaning that the Frenchman might start this contest. As for Watford, Craig Cathcart and Joao Pedro have returned to training following hamstring issues, and the pair are in contention to feature at Old Trafford. The Hornets still have injury problems, though, with Domingos Quina, Isaac Success and Stipe Perica unavailable, while Christian Kabasele is still struggling with a knee injury. Head coach Xisco will also make alterations to his first-choice XI, with Daniel Bachmann and William Troost-Ekong among those in line for starts, but midfielder James Garner is ineligible to face his parent club. Manchester United possible starting lineup: Henderson; Tuanzebe, Bailly, Maguire, Telles; Matic, Van de Beek; James, Mata, Greenwood; Martial Watford possible starting lineup: Bachmann; Navarro, Troost-Ekong, Wilmot, Masina; Hughes, Chalobah, Cleverley, Sarr; Gray, Deeney Manchester United 3-1 Watford David de Gea Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Anthony Martial Donny van de Beek Daniel James Juan Mata Axel Tuanzebe Dean Henderson Edinson Cavani Marcos Rojo Phil Jones Wayne Rooney Vladimir Ivic Xisco Eric Bailly Christian Kabasele Daniel Bachmann William Troost-Ekong Domingos Quina Joao Pedro Craig Cathcart Stipe Perica Isaac Success Andre Gray Troy Deeney James Garner Ismaila Sarr Facundo Pellistri Football

Manchester United vs Manchester City 6/1/2021 Carabao Cup / EFL

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Jan 6, 2021, at 7.45pm UK at Old Trafford Manchester United vs Manchester City Preview: Manchester United vs. Manchester City - prediction, team news, lineups The two most in-form teams in the Premier League turn their attention to the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as Manchester United host Manchester City in a mouth-watering derby at Old Trafford. The local rivals are meeting in the semi-finals of the competition for the second year in a row, and both of them come into the contest off the back of notable weekend wins. Match preview Manchester derbies are always hugely anticipated affairs, but Wednesday's showdown is particularly promising with a place at Wembley up for grabs and both teams coming into the match in fine form. Victories over Aston Villa and Chelsea respectively at the weekend ramped up the talk of a potential title challenge for both clubs, despite both making underwhelming starts to the season. They have since made up for lost time, though; Man United have taken 26 points from the last 30 on offer in the top flight, with Friday night's triumph over Aston Villa sending them level on points with champions Liverpool at the summit, while Man City have won five and lost none of their last seven league games. The Red Devils also have great pedigree in this competition, with this match being their 16th appearance in the League Cup semi-finals - second only to Liverpool. Man United have progressed from nine of their previous 15 semi-finals, but have been knocked out in two of their last three and, as is the case with the Premier League as well, it is Man City who have had the greater bragging rights in this competition in recent years. Guardiola has won 17 of his 24 matches as a manager in this competition, while Man City as a club have progressed from each of their last five League Cup semi-finals, winning the trophy each time. Add to that the fact that the home team has ended up on the winning side in just three of the last 14 Manchester derbies, and Man City will be arriving at Old Trafford full of confidence. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has won three of his six managerial meetings with Guardiola - the Spaniard's worst loss percentage against any manager he has faced at least five times - and the hosts will be similarly convinced of their chance to progress to the final on Wednesday night. The Red Devils have found a winning formula in recent weeks to the extent that Solskjaer's job, which was under threat less than a month ago following their exit from the Champions League, is now seemingly as secure as it has ever been. A 2-1 win over Aston Villa on New Year's Day means that they have now won four and drawn one of their last five home league games, having picked up just one point from their previous four such outings before that. Manchester United EFL Cup form: WWW Manchester United form (all competitions): WWWDWW Manchester City EFL Cup form: WWW Manchester City form (all competitions): DDWWWW Team News The EFL Cup usually results in a raft of changes being made by the Premier League's top teams, but with both of these clubs having FA Cup games at home to Championship opposition next up, there could be two strong sides named on Wednesday. Man City's options are severely limited, though, with as many as eight players in danger of missing out, six of whom have fallen foul of the coronavirus outbreak at the club. Ederson, Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia and Tommy Doyle were all missing against Chelsea due to COVID-19 and are expected to be absent on Wednesday too. Jesus and Walker would have completed their 10-day isolation period by the time the match is played and so could be available in theory. Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake could miss out here due to the quick turnaround. Phil Foden scored at Stamford Bridge and will hope to be awarded another start here. Victor Lindelof remains a doubt having missed the last two games with a back injury, while Edinson Cavani serves the second of his three-match ban for a social media post which contained an allegedly discriminatory word. Dean Henderson is expected to return in goal in place of David de Gea, while Solskjaer must also decide whether to bring the likes of Alex Telles, Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek and Juan Mata back into the side. Manchester United possible starting lineup: Henderson; Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred, Pogba; Fernandes; Martial, Rashford Manchester City possible starting lineup: Steffen; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Mendy; Fernandinho, Gundogan; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden; Aguero Manchester United 3-2 Manchester City Pep Guardiola Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Ederson Gabriel Jesus Kyle Walker Ferran Torres Eric Garcia Tommy Doyle Aymeric Laporte Nathan Ake Phil Foden Victor Lindelof Edinson Cavani Dean Henderson Alex Telles Mason Greenwood Donny van de Beek Juan Mata David de Gea Football #MUFC #MCFC #ManchesterDerby

Arsenal vs Rapid Wien 3/12/2020 Europa League

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Arsenal vs. Rapid Vienna Dec 3, 2020 at 8pm UK Arsenal vs. Rapid Vienna Build‑up Preview Football Preview: Arsenal vs. Rapid Vienna - prediction, team news, lineups Arsenal will be desperate to bounce back from their lowly defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers when they face off against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday evening. Match preview A year to the day that Unai Emery was relieved of his duties as Arsenal manager, the Spaniard's successor Mikel Arteta witnessed a ghastly performance which could have him fearing for his Emirates future as well. Arsenal's showdown with Wolverhampton Wanderers was marred by a sickening clash of heads between Raul Jimenez and David Luiz, but even after their star striker had to be given oxygen as he was stretchered off and transported to hospital, Wolves produced a top-class performance to travel back to the West Midlands with three points in the bag. Arteta witnessed his side score a long-overdue goal from open play in the Premier League as Gabriel Magalhaes powered a header home, but strikes from Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence saw Wolves come out on top and condemn Arsenal to a third top-flight defeat in a row on familiar territory. The Gunners, like many teams, are afflicted with numerous injuries at the moment, but Arteta has now overseen Arsenal's worst ever start to a Premier League season after 10 matches and a top-four charge already looks dead in the water heading into the festive period. One thing that Gooners can take solace in is their side's dominance in Europa League Group B, with Arsenal already guaranteed to advance to the knockout stages, and Arteta's side can secure top spot in the group with victory on their own turf against Vienna. Rapid Vienna boast a far better goal difference than second-placed Molde, but having lost 1-0 to the Norwegian outfit back in October, this week's visitors to the Emirates find themselves outside of the top two. Since losing their opening two group matches, the Austrian giants have notched up seven goals in two successive victories against Dundalk to keep their knockout dreams alive and confirm the Irish side's elimination in the process. With Molde expected to further their own bid for a top-two finish with a victory against Dundalk on matchday five, Rapid Vienna will know that nothing less than a win at the Emirates - however difficult that may be - will do before their crunch showdown with Molde in the final round of group matches. Dietmar Kuhbauer's side have been faltering in the league, though, with Rapid Vienna's winless streak stretching to three top-flight matches as Austria Vienna held them to a 1-1 draw in the capital derby. Arsenal just about managed to eke out a win when they paid a visit to Austria on matchday one, with Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang both netting after Taxiarchis Fountas had opened the scoring for Rapid Vienna. Arsenal Europa League form: WWWW Arsenal form (all competitions): WWLDWL Rapid Vienna Europa League form: LLWW Rapid Vienna form (all competitions): WWDLWD Team News Arsenal have confirmed the solemn news that Thomas Partey's injury is worse than first thought, and the summer arrival is likely to remain on the treatment table until 2021. Luiz played on for another 30 minutes with blood seeping through his bandage against Wolves - a move which was heavily criticised - and the Brazilian defender is confirmed to be missing this one out. Nicolas Pepe should start this one amid his domestic suspension, while Reiss Nelson - who was dropped for Willian at the weekend in spite of his impressive performance at Molde - is expected to get the nod on the opposite flank. Aubameyang's struggles in front of goal continued against Wolves - despite finding himself in a more familiar central role - and the 31-year-old will make way for either Alexandre Lacazette or Eddie Nketiah here. As for Thursday's visitors, midfield duo Dejan Petrovic and Dejan Ljubicic are thought to be nearing returns to action, but the trip to Arsenal will come too soon for both players. Wholesale changes are unlikely, but Fountas made an appearance from the bench in the Vienna derby and will be dreaming of a second goal against the Gunners this week, so he should start this one. Arsenal possible starting lineup: Runarsson; Cedric, Mustafi, Holding, Maitland-Niles; Xhaka, Elneny; Pepe, Smith Rowe, Nelson; Lacazette Rapid Vienna possible starting lineup: Gartler; Stojkovic, Hofmann, Barac, Ullmann; Grahovac, Knasmullner; Schick, Demir, Fountas; Kara We say: Arsenal 3-1 Rapid Vienna Unai Emery Mikel Arteta Raul Jimenez David Luiz Gabriel Magalhaes Pedro Neto Daniel Podence Thomas Partey Nicolas Pepe Reiss Nelson Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Alexandre Lacazette Eddie Nketiah Dietmar Kuhbauer Taxiarchis Fountas Dejan Petrovic Dejan Ljubicic Willian Football

Arsenal vs Molde FK 5/11/2020 Europa League

Don't forget to subscribe 🙏🙏 Arsenal vs. Molde Nov 5, 2020 at 8pm UK Arsenal vs. Molde Build‑up Preview Football Preview: Arsenal vs. Molde - prediction, team news, lineups Arsenal and Molde meet in the Europa League on Thursday evening with both clubs looking to extend their winning streak in Group B to three matches. Already holding a six-point advantage over Rapid Vienna and Molde, the English and Norwegian sides are aware that they will move to the brink of the knockout stages with victory at the Emirates Stadium. Match preview Most Arsenal supporters will agree that they have not enjoyed the fastest start to the season, already losing out to Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City in the Premier League. However, despite suffering defeat to three of their rivals, the Gunners only remain four points adrift of first place courtesy of a deserved 1-0 triumph away at Manchester United on Sunday. Mikel Arteta watched his players squander several chances to take the lead at Old Trafford, eventually having to rely on a much-needed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goal from the penalty spot. Nevertheless, the level of their overall performance would have impressed the Spaniard and the club's fans ahead of back-to-back home fixtures with Molde and Aston Villa. Should Arsenal prevail in each contest, Arteta will be satisfied with the club's progress heading into the November international break, a feeling which he would not have expected when succumbing to Leicester on October 25. Like their hosts, Molde would have had few complaints when learning the draw for the group stages, aware that it provided them with a realistic chance of reaching the last 32 of this competition for just the second time in their history. As it stands, Erling Moe's side are taking full advantage of being presented with a favourable group, something which was welcomed after they missed out on Champions League football to Ferencvaros on away goals. Molde initially required time to shake off conceding three times at home, but they have recently recorded six successive wins in all competitions. Ohi Omoijuanfo has been the star of the show in recent weeks, scoring the decisive goals in the narrow successes over Dundalk and Rapid Vienna. Arsenal Europa League form: WW Arsenal form (all competitions): WLWLWW Molde Europa League form: WW Molde form (all competitions): WWWWWW Team News Arteta is expected to name a much stronger lineup to the side which started last week's fixture against Dundalk. Bernd Leno, Gabriel Magalhaes and Dani Ceballos are all expected to come into the team, while Granit Xhaka should be restored to the centre of midfield. Shkodran Mustafi is in line to make another appearance in defence, with Reiss Nelson potentially getting a rare chance on the flank. While David Luiz is back in contention after a thigh injury, the Brazilian may not be risked from the start. Moe is expected to make a couple of changes to the team which faced Mjondalen at the weekend. Martin Ellingsten will almost certainly be restored to the first XI after coming off the substitutes' bench to net a double in the 3-1 win. Arsenal possible starting lineup: Leno; Mustafi, Gabriel, Kolasinac; Soares, Xhaka, Ceballos, Maitland-Niles; Pepe, Nketiah, Nelson Molde possible starting lineup: Linde; Wingo, Bjornbak, Gregersen, Haugen; Aursnes, Eikrem, Ellingsen; Hestad, Omoijuanfo, Brynhildsen We say: Arsenal 3-1 Molde Having shown that they are capable of delivering strong second-half performances, Molde will fancy their chances of gaining a result against opposition who will likely include a number of fringe players. However, we cannot back against a Gunners squad who will want to take their chance to impress Arteta.
