Bournemouth welcome Manchester United to the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday evening and will be wary of a backlash from Jose Mourinho’s men.

Latics to land knockout Hughes blow
Mark Hughes’ first match as Southampton boss is a tricky FA Cup quarter-final clash at League One side Wigan Athletic and it may prove to be another banana skin for the Welshman. Hughes was axed by Stoke City in January after the Potters had been dumped out of the competition by League Two side Coventry […]
Spotland trip no problem for Spurs
Five days after producing a brilliant comeback to draw 2-2 at Juventus in the Champions League, Tottenham face a trip to the more mundane surroundings of Spotland for a fifth round FA Cup tie against League One strugglers Rochdale.

Burnley host Manchester City in the early Premier League kick-off on Saturday and it is hard to see anything other than a win for the champions-elect. The Clarets are winless in nine in all competitions and suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to City in the FA Cup during that run. Sean Dyche’s men did […]

Reds to run riot in Wales
Liverpool will look to pile further misery on Swansea when the pair meet at the Liberty Stadium on Monday night. Carlos Carvalhal took the Swans’ job soon after his side’s 5-0 Boxing Day thrashing at Anfield and despite some positive results, his team remain bottom of the table. The Reds sit fourth at the time […]
Daily Tips – Monaco can continue impressive home form
Monaco host Nice in a midweek Ligue 1 round of fixtures in France today and the champions should be able to get back to winning ways after a 0-0 draw at Montpellier last time out. Monaco have an awesome domestic record at home this season with eight wins, one draw and a defeat in 10 […]
Canaries to test misfiring Blues
Chelsea are the highest-profile side in FA Cup third-round replay action this week and the visit of Norwich City may not prove to be entirely straightforward. The Blues have drawn all four of their last four games in all competitions and have failed to score in any of the last three. Therefore, expect the Stamford […]
