Liverpool - Exeter
England - FA Cup
01/20/2016 22:00 CET
Liverpool is obliged to eliminat Exeter of "Liverpool"!
Liverpool survived a visit to Exeter City, although it uses a lot of young players for the game.
Liverpool now meet 4th division rival after two consecutive derbies at home to Arsenal and Manchester United, which failed to take victory. Reds need to return to winning ways after three consecutive unsuccessful meetings.
Will the Liverpool ahead in the oldest tournament in the world?
Weakness in the United attack highlighted the problem of Liverpool!
Analysis:
Defeated 0:1 in their own stadium totally mediocre team Manchester United, punished by Wayne Rooney with a single blow in the door of his side, mocking delight of the traveling fans terrifyingly aware that better finishing moves would bring victory - Liverpool and its supporters could hardly live worse. Indeed, if it were not late equalizer from John Terry obvious offside after huge added time against neighbors Everton this weekend would be impossible to swallow the "red."
Defensive deficiencies that led to the winning goal Rooney are already well known. They are high on the list of tasks Jürgen Klopp and one might think that the inadequacies in the offensive line will be just as worrisome problem for the manager. But he quickly rejected that theory after the game when asked if he thought he lacked "true striker." His face became sullen look, shook his head and said "the smallest problem is the central striker," adding that Roberto Firmin is "true striker."
On Wednesday against Arsenal this view was justified by two goals from Brazilian. On Sunday, however, no goals were gone, but he certainly did not look like a real center forward at the last minute when he got a golden opportunity to save at least a point, but he realized that it was an ambush. Stunned, he flipped the ball right into the hands of the heroic David de Gea and then grabbed his head when he realized his mistake.
To be fair to Firmin, his gaffe this should not detract from the otherwise its good performance. But he emerged as a creator more than a scorer. His soft ball handling and speed of thought could lead to two goals in the first half - one arrived just in time James Milner fabulous diagonal pass with bekspin and thinner diversion of ball speed combination that ended with a shot just wide of Jordan Henderson. After unconvincing start to the season Firmin began to show their abilities, but it is still difficult to agree with the cluck that he is the answer to problems in attack.
Christian Benteke, supposedly, had to answer. And very expensive response to it. Unfortunately, his performance is so unfit that he deserves to be in the starting eleven - a thesis supported by the lack of influence on the game as he entered the final phase of the match. Nothing suggests that the assessment of Klopp was wrong. Belgian remains the enigma of the "Anfield" - attracted fortune against a manager who generally not benefited from this type of player. Former Aston Villa coach Tim Sherwood questioned departure of star striker for his team that fits his style, and Benteke had to listen.
Of course, confused transfer strategy is not the only reason Klopp be confined to throw in the battle up front in two consecutive games central defender Steven Kolkar. Injuries also did not help. Divock Origi is out persistent problems of Daniel Sturridge are inevitable, and the loss of Danny Ings (from your favorite type of Klopp eager, keen and chasing attackers) is very pathetic. But only Sturridge of them would raise this team to the level of the top four, and there is no guarantee that it ever will return to the form shown in 2013/14. If Klopp give him money to spend the summer, it has to spend on the attack.
For the umpteenth time, however, we saw aspects of the game of Liverpool, which should inspire courage for the future. The process will be long, but while the team managed to hold readings in large parts of Sunday's match intensity improvement seems inevitable.
Lucas Leiva was excellent in midfield (but missed Rooney in goals), entering rivals in a way that would make Lee Katarmoul feel like fading violet. Henderson was also excellent, scurried up and down the field, desperately trying to do everything in defense and in attack. Unfortunately for Liverpool captain had not taken scorer boots.
United manager Louis van Gaal did not hide that his team was lucky to withdraw the break, clean sheets, that is "surviving." With all carried a risk of dismay, however, he would finish. Strikes were sent aloft by heart and sideways, and when Henderson grant him a great opportunity to shoot around the arc of the penalty area unmarked, sent the ball right into the torso of Degea.
When Van Gaal was asked whether saving the Spaniard made the difference in the game, he refused to agree with the words that his goalkeeper is simply done what was expected of him to do. While this may seem slightly too, one can see the logic. Only one block from Emre Zhang in the second half with one hand was exceptional. Other attempts of Liverpool were still within Degea.
Klopp has to do a lot of work this summer, but he and so I knew it. Just remember how flooded with laughter when a journalist asked him whether a challenge to the title is around the corner. Germans knew perfectly well that this team was allowed too many goals in previous seasons. There are reasons for optimism them amidst all the bad results, there are signs of them slow and gradual development of Liverpool. But judging by Sunday's match, the operation will be needed not only for the back of the body, and to the front.
Forecast: Home win

In a postponed match from the 16th round, 6th Sassuolo taking 11th Turin. Turin had entered a very bad run of three consecutive defeats and only in the last round failed to deal with underdog Frosinone home. Sassuolo they have only one loss in the last six rounds, managing to defeat Inter before a round. The hosts are favorites, but still .....1X.

Lazio - Juventus
Italy - Serie A
01/20/2016 21:45 CET
This is not a match for the championship and the quarterfinals of the Cup of the country. Juventus now again it seems that there is someone to stop them. They are a series of 10 consecutive victories for the championship, while the hosts are highly unstable in his performances. Eagles did not resemble the team equivalent to Juve.
Last year, Juventus Lazio Cup final beat with great difficulty, in extra time, with the main recoup (although bounced back quickly). That match resembled sumo wrestlers fighting in which the forces are equal, and each of the fighters waiting for the opponent's mistakes. The same number of shots on goal and the target, almost equal possession of the ball most of the time .. naturally ended in a draw. In Lazio, it must be said, had more scoring chances in the first period, even in a tie, they even licked the two rods, the ball miraculously went through the gate. However, luck is luck was on the side of the Juve. Simple, in general, the impact on hand goalkeeper missed the Romans and took the Cup Juventus.
At this time, all very different. The teams met in the fourth and this time they are in a completely different weight categories. If Juventus muscles for a year only to increase, the entire Lazio lost power last year. The table between them 14 points, internal meeting in the first round, six weeks ago, Lazio played at home dry, with a score of 0:2.
However, hopes fans do not lose the Romans and to have all bases - and a half months of Lazio has not lost; despite the calendar, steadily gaining ground, beat Inter Milan and Fiorentina in Florence. The players that are indispensable in the hospital there, and therefore suited to the Juventus team in good shape, with a full staff and highly motivated because of the humiliating defeat in the final of last year's Cup in his native walls.
View Results
At Juventus, however, the situation is not worse, and even better. Mandzhukich recovered and Barzagli, Pereira and Lemine - not those who make the Juventus game. Guest superlatives: from early November Juventus played 6 games away all won, with the average scored 2.8 goals per game. Three of those six victories (including, by the way, over Lazio) - dry.
Statistics of personal meetings, alas, also not favor Lazio Romans won against Juve last time in 2013, 9 games back. Latest Juventus won 5 games, 4 of them are dry. The fifth - the same game in the final of the Italian Cup.
So, we have located pissed on the rise, not having most likely a chance to cling to the other European competition, against the owner of the field fighting for the championship (known, by the way, whether it will base Juve) and continues to play in the Champions League guest.
Forecast: Away win
Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona
Spain - Copa del Rey
01/20/2016 22:00 CET
And here we see a less unequal couple. Barcelona are determined by many as the best team in the world right now and Bilbao have no chance to do something against the Catalans.
Both teams played for the championship on Sunday at the "Camp Nou" and on Wednesday will compete again, but this time in the quarter-final stage of the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 6: 0 in that match, but almost all game Athletic play with a man less, due to red card to goalkeeper Gorka Irasios another 4 minutes.
Bilbao presents stable as home team in La Liga this season (5-2-2) and conceded only two minor losses - from giants Barcelona (0:1) and Real Madrid (1:2).
A forthcoming visit Catalans will be without some of its key players, including goalscorers Sunday - Lionel Messi (questionable) and Luis Suarez.
Besides them out are still left back Jordi Alba and defender Jérémy Mathieu.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique did express dissatisfaction with the appointment of Jose Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez to referee at the upcoming meeting.
"I'm surprised by the judge on duty. This is not good news either for us or for our rivals. Without removing things out of context, do not think it is a good choice to match with similar enthusiasm and charge, "said Enrique press conference before the game.
Said Gonzalez Gonzalez was a judge of the derby against Espanyol Barcelona, ended without a winner - 0:0. Then he found himself in the spotlight once dished out eight yellow cards to players on both up.
Barca coach said that the visit to the Basque Country will have nothing to do with the defeat success of its graduates in the last round of La Liga.
"The two matches will not have anything to do. At least because in this championship was for numerical inequality. Surely we can expect a difficult game, but that's what motivates us further, said the former captain of Barcelona.
FIFA must intervene in this situation. Friendship Messi, Suarez and Neimar - the worst thing that happened in the world of football. Messi is able to win matches alone and when playing with him Suarez and Neymar, rivals no chance. FIFA should disqualify them.
It is difficult not to agree with the Chilean coach, who is no stranger to each forward from this trio. Total "dream" this season, scored 67 goals and made 32 assists. South Americans and the truth is very strong, did not remember such a powerful attack capacity in the history of football, one of them - is a contender for the "Golden Ball", and each is capable of single-handedly drag not only the club but also make history.
It will be interesting to see the Catalans in the absence of Messi and Suarez, only Neymar on the edge. If Uruguayan has definitely will not play due to a suspension, obtained in the fight against Espanyol, the Argentine worried little damage and Luis Enrique sure poberezhёt your most expensive asset to better times, especially, have yet to return match at home, "Camp Nou".
Athletic - Barcelona: projected compositions
Athletic: Errerin - Baeidi, Laporte, Echeita, Balenciaga - San Jose, benat - De Marcos, Muniain, Williams - Aduriz
Barcelona: Ter Stegen - Dani Alves, Vermaelen, Mascherano, Alba - Busquets - Roberto Rakitic - Turan - Munir, Neymar
Out of the game
Athletic: Raul Garcia Gomez
Barcelona: Rafinha, Suarez
How did the recent visit to Barcelona, Bilbao, we all remember. Gorka Iraisos already received a red card in the fourth minute of the match and did absolutely predictable outcome of the meeting. The bout ended with a tennis score of 6:0 and memorable fanatical game Suarsea Louis, who eventually chalked up a hat-trick and one assist, thus becoming the top scorer of the examples. But it is unlikely to have "blue garnet" was so much zeal to destroy the enemy, if not for the fact that in August the Athletic defeated Barca at their stadium 4: 1, which ultimately helped win the Super Bowl of the country. Therefore, in the history of this conflict point has not yet set, and we will see you bright two-legged continuation of this action.

Given all the personnel problems of the Catalans, Luis Enrique probably have little to shift the focus of the center line, the benefit is now gathered there did not set the worst performers than in the front line. Turan, Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, and now more and Roberto are able to easily compensate for the lack of its "devils." Most likely, the instructor chooses Barca favorite circuit Carlo Ancelotti, Milan start sample zero 4-1-2-1-2, which will allow the full power of the full potential of their midfielders arranged diamond.
As for Bilbao, after not even a slap, and serious, male blow "lions" to be in a short time to lick their wounds and try to recall the nightmare of the Catalans half a year ago. Compared with the match of the championship, will return to the start of Aracena Aduriz, who, by the way, and was a key player in the battle for the Super Bowl. Also recently I recovered Iker Muniain, who did not have much in the first half of this season, but the absence of Raul Garcia - a serious blow to the Basques. Garcia definitely among the top three players in the Athletics this season, and his vast experience and passion just would not have prevented the "lions" in this game.
Home "San Mames" with angry tribunes, sooner or later will make their job and run the Basques on his eminent opponent. Barca will not mind much, having to its credit built excellent counterattacking play, and if the Catalans to score, then God himself told go ahead and open up. Therefore, in a game of four corners of Bilbao did not appear miraculously, rather than quite possible result.
Forecasts: X2
Bilbao (+2 handicap)
Bilbao over 3.5 corner kicks
Celta Vigo - Atletico Madrid

Atletico have five wins in their last seven games against Celta. And now their form is strong enough to cope with a far weaker rival.
Forecast: Away win
Leicester - Tottenham
England - FA Cup
01/20/2016 21:45 CET
Lester won his visit to Tottenham in the Premier League 1: 0 a week ago, but it was the first success of the team in six games in all competitions. This shows that currently form of "foxes" marks a significant decrease compared with what showed in the beginning of the season.
However, they remain difficult to defeat the rival, for the same period conceded only one loss, which is only the second team of 26 games this season.
Tournament battles may not be a priority for coach Claudio Ranieri as his team now has a real chance to qualify for participation in Europe next season. However, we expect a tense match, similar to the first, in which Carrie Kane equalized from the penalty spot 89 minutes.
Tottenham did not allow a loss in their first eight households, but surprising defeats by Newcastle and Leicester in their last two meetings of the "White Hart Lane" hit the ambitions for the title of the team, and allowed Manchester United to close just two points from fourth location.
"Spurs" are fighting on two major fronts such as the Premier League and Europe, and no one knows how much the FA Cup is a priority for the manager Mauricio Pochettino. The only injured players There are Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb, so it will be interesting to see how a stock will bet the coach of Tottenham.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches against Tottenham, as it led teams have recorded eight wins and four draws. Indeed, in nine of those meetings he was headed Chelsea, but three of them have played in the last six months.
Spurs have only one win in their last eight away games in the FA Cup, having dopusunali three losses, while Leicester have won without conceding a goal four of their last five households.
The hosts have only one defeat (Arsenal) in their last 14 games of his "King Power Stadium" and won eight of them. In this situation far more justified it seems to pledge their success, although the market for betting makes them outsiders in the game.
Equality seems quite possible, having in mind that that was the outcome of six of their last 12 away games against Tottenham and four of their last five matches at Leicester.
You can insure a pledge for the hosts in the market "Win without draw", which will double the money you bet.
Leicester is surprisingly strong this season. This is absolutely true.
As expected, the frantic calendar «boxing day» has done his dirty deed. Over the last five rounds Leicester scored just five points and scored only one victory. In addition, already traumatized for a short period of Vardi and mahrez without which the rest of the team, to put it mildly, difficult. Speaking of themselves troublemakers Englishman and a Moroccan are not so bright as it was at the start of the season, talking about it and their statistics. Over the last six bouts, with all the competition, none of them is not something that did not score and did not give any assists. In addition mahrez got a serious psychological blow when he could not score the winning penalty against Aston Villa, although several rounds previously twice been accurate in a meeting with Everton.

Ranieri as you can, trying not to give his team a sink, but to make it extremely difficult, if in the winter transfer window does not become a couple of good players, the "foxes" are doomed. The blessing to have found Shinji Okazaki, who took over the leadership and does not "blue" mired in mid-table. The good news is the fact that the hospital is almost empty, the game is only Shlyupp and James.
Leicester Tottenham: projected compositions
Leicester: Schmeichel - Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs - Albrighton, Kant, Drinkwater, mahrez - Ulloa, Okazaki
Tottenham: Worm - Tripper, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose - Dyer, Allie - Son, Eriksen, Lamela - Kane
Out of the game
Lester James, Shlyupp
Tottenham: N'Zhie
Whether the "Spurs" in the asset really the star football player, a conditional Azar, Ozil or Rooney, Tottenham would have definitely called the main contender for the championship crown. But even without that Londoners can swing at a lot this year, in particular in the quartet at the end of the season. Wards Mauricio Pochettino stability for all in the leading quartet passed last pyatimatchevuyu segment, gaining for the period 10 points. And it is worth saying that Tottenham is not just to achieve results, and his game pleases the eye.
Both teams recently played each other, with two games in a row, with an interval of three days, which means that little has changed in the balance of power. What is the first thing in the second match, much stronger than were representatives of capital, but the meeting in the championship, "Spurs" lost and saved in a cup only at the end of 80 minutes.
I think now as time has come that time when wards Pochettino, finally, can pull out a victory. Firstly, Londoners have learned the style of play pretty football Leicester, as almost 180 minutes precipitated their gates, and secondly, Leicester, like a pendulum, more and more lost in the amplitude and gradually fades. More Fighting Cup and with such a short bench is equivalent to playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded drum.
Forecasts: Home win with Draw no bet option.

Liverpool is obliged to eliminat Exeter of "Liverpool"!
Liverpool survived a visit to Exeter City, although it uses a lot of young players for the game.
Liverpool now meet 4th division rival after two consecutive derbies at home to Arsenal and Manchester United, which failed to take victory. Reds need to return to winning ways after three consecutive unsuccessful meetings.
Will the Liverpool ahead in the oldest tournament in the world?
Weakness in the United attack highlighted the problem of Liverpool!
Analysis:
Defeated 0:1 in their own stadium totally mediocre team Manchester United, punished by Wayne Rooney with a single blow in the door of his side, mocking delight of the traveling fans terrifyingly aware that better finishing moves would bring victory - Liverpool and its supporters could hardly live worse.

And here we see a less unequal couple. Barcelona are determined by many as the best team in the world right now and Bilbao have no chance to do something against the Catalans.
Both teams played for the championship on Sunday at the "Camp Nou" and on Wednesday will compete again, but this time in the quarter-final stage of the Copa del Rey.
Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 6: 0 in that match, but almost all game Athletic play with a man less, due to red card to goalkeeper Gorka Irasios another 4 minutes.
Bilbao presents stable as home team in La Liga this season (5-2-2) and conceded only two minor losses - from giants Barcelona (0:1) and Real Madrid (1:2).
A forthcoming visit Catalans will be without some of its key players, including goalscorers Sunday - Lionel Messi (questionable) and Luis Suarez.
Besides them out are still left back Jordi Alba and defender Jérémy Mathieu.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique did express dissatisfaction with the appointment of Jose Luis Gonzalez Gonzalez to referee at the upcoming meeting.
"I'm surprised by the judge on duty. This is not good news either for us or for our rivals. Without removing things out of context, do not think it is a good choice to match with similar enthusiasm and charge, "said Enrique press conference before the game.
Said Gonzalez Gonzalez was a judge of the derby against Espanyol Barcelona, ended without a winner - 0:0. Then he found himself in the spotlight once dished out eight yellow cards to players on both up.

South Americans and the truth is very strong, did not remember such a powerful attack capacity in the history of football, one of them - is a contender for the "Golden Ball", and each is capable of single-handedly drag not only the club but also make history.
It will be interesting to see the Catalans in the absence of Messi and Suarez, only Neymar on the edge. If Uruguayan has definitely will not play due to a suspension, obtained in the fight against Espanyol, the Argentine worried little damage and Luis Enrique sure poberezhёt your most expensive asset to better times, especially, have yet to return match at home, "Camp Nou".
Athletic - Barcelona: projected compositions

How did the recent visit to Barcelona, Bilbao, we all remember. Gorka Iraisos already received a red card in the fourth minute of the match and did absolutely predictable outcome of the meeting. The bout ended with a tennis score of 6:0 and memorable fanatical game Suarsea Louis, who eventually chalked up a hat-trick and one assist, thus becoming the top scorer of the examples. But it is unlikely to have "blue garnet" was so much zeal to destroy the enemy, if not for the fact that in August the Athletic defeated Barca at their stadium 4: 1, which ultimately helped win the Super Bowl of the country. Therefore, in the history of this conflict point has not yet set, and we will see you bright two-legged continuation of this action.

Given all the personnel problems of the Catalans, Luis Enrique probably have little to shift the focus of the center line, the benefit is now gathered there did not set the worst performers than in the front line. Turan, Rakitic, Iniesta, Busquets, and now more and Roberto are able to easily compensate for the lack of its "devils." Most likely, the instructor chooses Barca favorite circuit Carlo Ancelotti, Milan start sample zero 4-1-2-1-2, which will allow the full power of the full potential of their midfielders arranged diamond.
As for Bilbao, after not even a slap, and serious, male blow "lions" to be in a short time to lick their wounds and try to recall the nightmare of the Catalans half a year ago. Compared with the match of the championship, will return to the start of Aracena Aduriz, who, by the way, and was a key player in the battle for the Super Bowl. Also recently I recovered Iker Muniain, who did not have much in the first half of this season, but the absence of Raul Garcia - a serious blow to the Basques. Garcia definitely among the top three players in the Athletics this season, and his vast experience and passion just would not have prevented the "lions" in this game.
Home "San Mames" with angry tribunes, sooner or later will make their job and run the Basques on his eminent opponent. Barca will not mind much, having to its credit built excellent counterattacking play, and if the Catalans to score, then God himself told go ahead and open up. Therefore, in a game of four corners of Bilbao did not appear miraculously, rather than quite possible result.

Atletico have five wins in their last seven games against Celta. And now their form is strong enough to cope with a far weaker rival.
Forecast: Away win
Leicester - Tottenham
England - FA Cup
01/20/2016 21:45 CET
Lester won his visit to Tottenham in the Premier League 1: 0 a week ago, but it was the first success of the team in six games in all competitions. This shows that currently form of "foxes" marks a significant decrease compared with what showed in the beginning of the season.
However, they remain difficult to defeat the rival, for the same period conceded only one loss, which is only the second team of 26 games this season.
Tournament battles may not be a priority for coach Claudio Ranieri as his team now has a real chance to qualify for participation in Europe next season. However, we expect a tense match, similar to the first, in which Carrie Kane equalized from the penalty spot 89 minutes.
Tottenham did not allow a loss in their first eight households, but surprising defeats by Newcastle and Leicester in their last two meetings of the "White Hart Lane" hit the ambitions for the title of the team, and allowed Manchester United to close just two points from fourth location.
"Spurs" are fighting on two major fronts such as the Premier League and Europe, and no one knows how much the FA Cup is a priority for the manager Mauricio Pochettino. The only injured players There are Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb, so it will be interesting to see how a stock will bet the coach of Tottenham.
Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches against Tottenham, as it led teams have recorded eight wins and four draws. Indeed, in nine of those meetings he was headed Chelsea, but three of them have played in the last six months.
Spurs have only one win in their last eight away games in the FA Cup, having dopusunali three losses, while Leicester have won without conceding a goal four of their last five households.
The hosts have only one defeat (Arsenal) in their last 14 games of his "King Power Stadium" and won eight of them. In this situation far more justified it seems to pledge their success, although the market for betting makes them outsiders in the game.
Equality seems quite possible, having in mind that that was the outcome of six of their last 12 away games against Tottenham and four of their last five matches at Leicester.
You can insure a pledge for the hosts in the market "Win without draw", which will double the money you bet.
Leicester is surprisingly strong this season. This is absolutely true.
As expected, the frantic calendar «boxing day» has done his dirty deed. Over the last five rounds Leicester scored just five points and scored only one victory. In addition, already traumatized for a short period of Vardi and mahrez without which the rest of the team, to put it mildly, difficult. Speaking of themselves troublemakers Englishman and a Moroccan are not so bright as it was at the start of the season, talking about it and their statistics. Over the last six bouts, with all the competition, none of them is not something that did not score and did not give any assists. In addition mahrez got a serious psychological blow when he could not score the winning penalty against Aston Villa, although several rounds previously twice been accurate in a meeting with Everton.

Ranieri as you can, trying not to give his team a sink, but to make it extremely difficult, if in the winter transfer window does not become a couple of good players, the "foxes" are doomed. The blessing to have found Shinji Okazaki, who took over the leadership and does not "blue" mired in mid-table. The good news is the fact that the hospital is almost empty, the game is only Shlyupp and James.
Leicester Tottenham: projected compositions
Leicester: Schmeichel - Simpson, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs - Albrighton, Kant, Drinkwater, mahrez - Ulloa, Okazaki
Tottenham: Worm - Tripper, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose - Dyer, Allie - Son, Eriksen, Lamela - Kane
Out of the game
Lester James, Shlyupp
Tottenham: N'Zhie
Whether the "Spurs" in the asset really the star football player, a conditional Azar, Ozil or Rooney, Tottenham would have definitely called the main contender for the championship crown. But even without that Londoners can swing at a lot this year, in particular in the quartet at the end of the season. Wards Mauricio Pochettino stability for all in the leading quartet passed last pyatimatchevuyu segment, gaining for the period 10 points. And it is worth saying that Tottenham is not just to achieve results, and his game pleases the eye.
Both teams recently played each other, with two games in a row, with an interval of three days, which means that little has changed in the balance of power. What is the first thing in the second match, much stronger than were representatives of capital, but the meeting in the championship, "Spurs" lost and saved in a cup only at the end of 80 minutes.
I think now as time has come that time when wards Pochettino, finally, can pull out a victory. Firstly, Londoners have learned the style of play pretty football Leicester, as almost 180 minutes precipitated their gates, and secondly, Leicester, like a pendulum, more and more lost in the amplitude and gradually fades. More Fighting Cup and with such a short bench is equivalent to playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded drum.
Forecasts: Home win with Draw no bet option.
Tottenham to qualify
