Norwich, unfortunately for them, do not find themselves in this mid-table battle. Instead, the Canaries are embroiled in the early stages of a relegation battle after their spirited start to life in the top flight sputtered to a halt.
Fiorentina do come into this clash unbeaten in 18 home meetings with Atalanta, so we don’t expect the visitors to secure the win within 90 minutes here. However, Fiorentina have won just 30% of their home games this season, while the visitors come here with one loss in six Serie A games. As a result, we are backing Atalanta to claim a 2-2 draw with three of the last four clashes between them at this ground finishing level.
NSI lost at Vikingur last weekend but at home they have been good so far with 2 3-1 wins over TB Tvoroyri and Fuglafjordur. Against IF NSI have an excellent home record winning all of the last 8 meetings scoring 34 goals and conceding only 8.
And they were travelling into the unknown, because no-one knows what County team will turn up each week; victory over Livingston followed by defeat by Hibs, a morale-boosting win at Pittodrie before a confidence-crushing hammering at Motherwell. County have conceded more goals from set pieces than anyone else this season, and Rangers appeared determined to add a 19th goal to the list with a series of early corners, but everything was scrappy with little fluency from the visitors.
It's not fair to judge people on the colour of their skin. We're here to play football and not get verbally abused. Government must work with FA on racism - Elliott'Cyrille became like a family member'During his formative years, Gibbs-White came to the attention of former England striker Cyrille Regis. Regis, a football icon who fought prejudice during three decades as a player, was an agent at the time and had been alerted to Gibbs-White's talents by the player's father, who had become a good friend.
In that regard, it was the second-worst Saturday in Premier League history. The only Saturday afternoon to feature at least five games and witness fewer goals at the traditional 15:00 GMT time slot was on 24 November 2001, when three goals were scored in six games, three of which ended goalless. Only Newcastle, Southampton and Tottenham scored during the six games to kick off at 15:00 GMT on 24 November 2001It wasn't through a lack of trying, though, as Saturday was an incredibly wasteful day in the Premier League.
But in none of those cases could they get close to the wages required. Despite all the positivity, Wolves do now find themselves at a crossroads. The exits of Dalrymple, due to a difference in vision, in the summer and, this month, Thelwell, who has taken up a new challenge with the Red Bull group in New York, has left the club without two popular and highly rated senior figures. Last week, Nuno fuelled speculation about his own future by revealing there had been no discussion with Shi over an extension to his deal, which ends in 2021.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Arsenal win! Arsenal win! Arsenal win! To put into some perspective just how very long ago Arsenal’s previous victory was, Unai Emery was still their manager. That 3-2 ROMP against Vitoria Guimaraes in the Europa League sure does feel like a long time ago now, but on Monday night they broke their nearly two month-long duck by coming from behind to beat West Ham 3-1 in the typically cauldron-like atmosphere of the London Stadium.
It was important for me because it was my second goal in as many games and it gave me that confidence after not starting the opening two games. Scoring the first goal in a big game like that is really important. It was a massive relief for the team. It set us up for victory and we carried that momentum throughout the tournament. Nothing compares to scoring for your country. It's hard to describe. Every time I think about it, I think about the badge and what it means.
With the Canaries mixing some promising attacking play with plenty of calamitous defending, over 2.5 goals were registered and both teams scored in seven of Norwich's eight Premier League home games this term, and we expect that high-scoring pattern to continue unabated this weekend.

Neville, who became manager in January 2018, has faced questions about his future. He led England to a first SheBelieves Cup title in 2019 before a fourth-place finish at the World Cup that summer. But since last year's quarter-final win over Norway, the Lionesses have lost seven of 11 games and failed to retain their SheBelieves Cup title in March. Despite those results, the former Manchester United player has retained the support of the FA.
The 69-year-old was admitted to hospital last week for treatment of an unrelated illness, but was given a routine test for Covid-19, which showed up positive.

Murray: "It was crucial in terms of the players they wanted to attract. You've got that extra level to persuade players to come. It was a huge step to get back into the Champions League. Gibbons: "Fans were hoping for steady progress - we knew things wouldn't happen overnight. We knew there were teams with better resources and coming from a better starting position. Jurgen has achieved the things he has done in steps.
I don't want it to seem like it was a knee-jerk reaction to what has been said in the media - it wasn't that at all," Francis said. I spoke to Jordan in the morning of the day Matt Hancock came out and made his comments, so it was bad timing. With the problems we have across the country, for him to pick out footballers was disappointing. More than 150 top-flight players posted a joint statement on social media on Wednesday confirming they were collaborating on a voluntary initiative, "separate to any other league and club conversation".

Guests are have a lot of problems in last few weeks and they will surely have a lot of problems and in this match, that is clear, if we know how they are playing and how big problems, they are have in defense. Schalke 04 is as I remember lost all four matches so far after restart of season and we will see if they will fix that situation today in Berlin. Union, on the other side is fighting for survival but I believe that they will secure that without big problems. I believe in goals here, that is pretty real.

Michael Jacobs then hit the bar for Wigan but West Brom levelled when Austin placed the ball past 10 players on the line after goalkeeper Jamie Jones needlessly picked up a backpass.

The side have scored two or more goals in 81% of their games this season, an incredible record that the side will be keen to keep going as they look to maintain their nine point lead at the top of the league. They’ve conceded an average of a goal a game so far this year and have only kept three clean sheets, so will need to be a little more commanding in defence, as their scoring rate might not be sustainable.

I don't blame people for that but if all I was ever part of, or all I ever achieved was to do with what happened in Germany, in Munich, if that was what my life was all about, it didn't come to very much.

Everton fought back from two goals down at Watford to earn a remarkable 3-2 win with just 10 men, prevailing in a dramatic finish to an entertaining contest on Saturday between two sides who are looking re-energised under new management.

And, of course, football itself is a job of work: a short-lived, often precarious one, with big wages at the top but much uncertainty below. But on the whole, it’s encouraging to see players and directors realise that there’s more to being part of a football club than getting paid by one. IN OTHER NEWS Lots of people with nothing to do + the internet = some really quite creative ways of passing the time.

England scored her first, and Chelsea's third, when she brilliantly brought down Millie Bright's lofted ball before slamming it home.

We knew immediately after the Napoli game we have a final, and we have to make sure we are prepared for a final.

Having looked like being left frustrated, the Canaries got a deserved equaliser on 78 minutes as Josip Drmic bundled in from close range after Vorm has spilled Kenny McLean's drive.
