Perth Glory haven’t started the season with the fire of last year but have been decidedly average with one win, one loss and three draws. They’ve also scored and conceded 6 goals with nothing really standing out for Tony Popovic’s side so far. There is much potential within the squad though and with the likes of Diego Castro and Bruno Fornaroli, Perth could explode into a great run of form at any time. A fixture against Sydney FC doesn’t inspire confidence though with the visitors winning 11 of the last 12 games between the two sides and Perth will be hard pushed to avoid another defeat here against a confident Sydney side.

Keane and Mina both cost the club quite a bit of money, so the Merseyside outfit will be hoping that Gabriel is the real deal. Ligue 1. Either way, Ancelotti needs to sign a new centre-back as soon as possible, so it's encouraging signs for Everton supporters that the club's recruitment team are planning ahead for the summer transfer window.
Phil Foden made one goal and scored another as holders Manchester City saw off a spirited Port Vale side to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup. City, who won all four available domestic trophies last season, had to work hard to break down their League Two opponents, but eventually ran out comfortable winners. Oleksandr Zinchenko put Pep Guardiola's side ahead with a rasping shot from distance that Vale captain Leon Legge could only help into his own net.
Rochdale, struggling in 18th place in League One, improved after the break though and the 40-year-old Wilbraham, a halftime substitute, poked home an equaliser with 10 minutes left.

It was the worst we'd played on all season," recalls Sturrock. They played for set pieces and it paid off. Just before the break, Thomson - who needed five stitches in an ear injury after just five minutes and played on with double vision - could only watch in horror as a Stefan Pettersson downward header from a corner reared up freakishly off the bobbly surface and away from his grasp. Regardless, McLean was adamant the outcome still gave United "a tremendous chance" at Tannadice.

On Saturday, Valverde's dismissal and Xavi's immediate appointment were widely considered in the Spanish media to be a formality. But a twist came on Sunday as Xavi reportedly back-tracked, deciding to reject the club's offer and stay with Al-Sadd - for now, at least. Another complication - and it's inevitable that behind-the-scenes scheming is involved at such a deeply political club - is that Xavi has been a long-time ally of businessman Victor Font, who is planning to run against the current board in next year's presidential elections.
I know this is the reserve league but Kilmarnock should be able to win this considering they are better team if it comes to form. Queens of south is the worst team in this league they struggling to get results both home and away. I don't actually see them scoring in this match considering how poor they are. The home team should be able to score 2 or more goals. Their form is also not the best but they are far much better team compared to the away side. under 3.5 goals looks good for this match too because I expect the away side to stay back

Ex-City defender Micah Richards: "That title-winning team of 2011-12 is better than the City team now. Yes, the way City play is better now but in terms of player-for-player, our team back then was better. I would back us all day if we played them. The current City team can be got at, and people have realised that, so there is no way our defence now is better, in any way. The stats back that up with the number of clean sheets we kept that season - 17 in 38 league games.
Klopp said Alexander-Arnold's crossing, which also led to a penalty against Leicester, was exceptional but he batted away questions on whether the right back was the best player in the world in that position.

But after stunning Scott Parker's side that day with two late goals, Brentford then turned over Albion to arguably position themselves as the larger threat. The Baggies will be fully aware that the Bees boast a significantly superior goal difference, a cushion stretched to 11 by these three goals at the Madejski and a fourth straight clean sheet.

Perugia are likely to get forward here, with Napoli’s recent form likely to inspire them to take a chance. However, the fact that they’ve conceded in eight consecutive Serie B games doesn’t inspire much faith in them shutting out top tier opposition. We see both teams finding the net in this one.
Brno maintained stability in the early matches this year. However, in the last 2 friendly matches in May, the Czech First Division FC Zbrojovka Brno could not maintain his concentration when he was out of hand, all before Třinec.
I don't know how, but Juve with stronger team than last season make much weaker and worst results this season. With C. Ronaldo and Dybala along with Higuain they have far the best attack in Italy at moment. But it seems that major problems are back in defense and that they can't score as much goals as much defense can concede. Roma lost from Torino last round 0-2. For me that is fact that this team is down in form at moment. I expect from them to give some resistance to Juve but at the end to lose. Away win!
Nice the host face a resilient Monaco in this league one fixture. Monaco have two more points than Nice and are undefeated in their last month of games but they have drawn just like Nice their last 2 games. Last weekend it was against Reims. Monaco will be aiming to have an edge against nice by extending their lead over nice by winning this game while nice on the other hand will be aiming to overcome Monaco by defeating them during the game and by overtaking them on points. I predict that this game will be a high scoring game that will result in more than two goals
