Bradford v Swansea Capital One Cup final Preview Feb 24, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Bradford v Swansea of Capital One Cup final HD Quality Live Bradford v Swansea streaming is availahere.Bradford v Swansea Live Stream online Capital One Cup final online Video Free The match will take plcae at Wembley Stadium on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.The fans' final, the fairytale final - whatever you want to call it, there's no doubt that the League Cup has come up trumps again in giving us a showpiece ending that's a little bit out of the ordinary. Will it be a fantastic final though? With such a gulf in league standings between the teams there's always the danger of a one-sided affair, but I think Bradford have proved enough times in their cup run that they can raise their game to take on any opponent - and go the distance.Four of their seven games in the competition have gone to extra-time, with two famously won on penalties against Wigan and Arsenal. Their incredible record of nine successive shoot-out wins will certainly have Swansea fans feeling nervous if the scores are level with nearly two hours played. There's a school of thought that the Bantams' best chance of winning in normal or extra-time is via set-pieces, and Aston Villa would testify to the threat Phil Parkinson's team pose there. It'll be interesting to see how the homework Swansea will have done manifests itself at the first corner or wide free-kick they concede.What with the plunge down the divisions, two spells in administration, and the giant-killing run to the final, Bradford City's is a superb story, but we must remember how special Swansea City's tale is too.When Bradford were in the Premier League at the turn of the millennium, the Swans were bouncing between the bottom two divisions, and only avoided a drop to non-league status with a final-day win over Hull just 10 years ago. That game will always be much more important in the history of a club that has reached its first major Wembley final in its centenary year.   

Team News:
Bradford will assess the fitness of defender Rory McArdle, who returned to training this week after recovering from an ankle injury.
The Bantams will be without striker Andy Gray, who is ineligible because he played for Leeds earlier in the competition.
Swansea defender Chico Flores is ruled out with an ankle problem, and will be replaced by Garry Monk or Kyle Bartley.
Swans boss Michael Laudrup says back-up goalkeeper Gerhard Tremmel will start.

Head-to-head
This will be the first match between Bradford and Swansea in a major cup competition.
The Swans are unbeaten in their last four league encounters with the Bantams, all of which came in League One. However, three of those matches were drawn.
Bradford's last win against Swansea was a 5-1 victory at Valley Parade in the third tier on 30 March 1996.

Bradford City
The Bantams are the second side from the fourth tier of English football to reach the League Cup final. Rochdale also managed the feat in 1962, losing to Division Two Norwich over two legs, although that was during the League Cup's infancy, when many of England's elite clubs declined to enter the competition.
Victory would see Bradford become the sixth club from outside the top flight to win the competition, following in the footsteps of Norwich (second tier, 1962), QPR (third tier, 1967), Swindon (third tier, 1969), Aston Villa (second tier, 1975) and Sheffield Wednesday (second tier, 1991).
Bradford have kept clean sheets in only two of their last 15 League Cup ties.
They have won nine consecutive penalty shootouts - an English record.

Swansea City
The Swans have reached the final of the League Cup for the first time in their history. Prior to this season they had never gone beyond the fourth round of the competition.
Michael Laudrup's men have won twice in eight league and cup games since booking their place in the final.
Swansea's most recent defeat against League Two opposition was a 3-1 loss to Shrewsbury in the second round of the League Cup last season.
They have kept clean sheets in their last three League Cup matches. They have gone 284 minutes since they last conceded in the competition.

"We just have to defend well as a team, help each other and pass the ball properly."If we defend well in any game, we can score goals and hurt any teams in this league."There is a lot of ability here and it's just getting them to believe how good they are."I think some of the younger ones don't realise how good they are. There are some fantastic talents."

Team News:
The 28-year-old, capped three times for his country, has joined up with the Easter Park outfit in a bid to keep himself fit after being released by Middlesbrough at the end of January.
However, manager Pat Fenlon insists he simply does not have the money to offer the former Rangers player - twice a Clydesdale Bank Premier League winner with the Ibrox club - a return to his former Leith stomping ground.

The Hibs boss said: "We have used up our budget in relation to players. We have given Kevin the facilities to come in and train and that's all there is.
"There are loads of players we would like to bring in if we had the money for it. Kevin is an ex-Hibs player and has been in training with us for the last few days and we're delighted to help him out but at the moment there is nothing more than that.
"So he's only here to train. He is obviously looking at his own career. He has been here before, still has a good relationship with people at the club so we wanted to help him out."
Fenlon will, however, be able to call upon midfielder Gary Deegan for the Tannadice trip after he sat out last weekend's 1-0 win over St Mirren in Paisley as he served a one-match ban.
That leaves defender Tim Clancy as the Easter Road manager's only injury concern as he continues his recovery from a hamstring tear.
Hibernian manager Pat Fenlon: "They're a good squad, they've got some good players and a new manager's come in and given them a boost.
"We know it's going to be tough going there.
"We're going to have play really well to get something out of the game.
"For the first time in a year or two, we've given ourselves an opportunity to be in the mix [for the top six]."

Celtic v Dundee Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League Preview Feb 24, 2013

Team News:
Celtic will be without Scott Brown and Mikael Lustig for Sunday's Scottish Premier League clash with Dundee at Celtic Park. Brown has seen a specialist about his abductor problem and will discover on Monday if he requires surgery, while Lustig is out with a thigh injury.Greece striker Georgios Samaras is back after recovering from a hamstring injury but defender Charlie Mulgrew is a doubt with a glute problem.Dundee defender Davide Grassi is back in training ahead of the game but Sunday's game may come too soon following his recovery from a knee injury.Dundee are still without Stephen O'Donnell (knee), Mark Kerr (knee), Jamie McCluskey (Achilles) and Carl Finnigan (knee).

Neil Lennon is determined not to be affected by what he claims is the "overwhelming negativity" of Scottish football as his Celtic side surge towards the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title, with Dundee next up.
The Hoops are 19 points clear of Motherwell at the top of the standings and on course to clinch the championship next month.
However, aside from European nights during their exciting journey to the last-16 of the Champions League, in which they play Juventus in Turin next month trying to recover a 3-0 first-leg defeat, Celtic Park has rarely been full this season.
The absence of a league challenge from traditional rivals Rangers, now playing in the Irn-Bru Third Division, has had an effect on attendances and ahead of the visit of bottom side Dundee , Lennon was asked about the prospect of crowds dwindling further as the Hoops disappear over the SPL horizon.

Team News:
Defender Roger Johnson is another competing for a recall against his former employers.
Cardiff boss Malky Mackay could shuffle his pack as he looks to bounce back from just their second defeat in 18 games.
The Bluebirds were beaten 2-0 by Brighton on Tuesday night which saw their lead at the top of the npower Championship cut to five points.
Winger Craig Conway is pushing for a start after impressing as a substitute in the defeat to Gus Poyet's men, just the second time Cardiff have lost on home soil this season.

And the Scot could replace Craig Noone or Tommy Smith in the starting line-up should Mackay decide to freshen things up against Dean Saunders' struggling side.
Ben Turner came through his return to action after injury unscathed while Fraizer Campbell played for 84 minutes as he continues to build his match fitness following his move from Sunderland.

Newcastle v Southampton Barclays Premier League Preview Feb 24, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Newcastle v Southampton of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Newcastle v Southampton streaming is available here.Newcastle v Southampton Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at St James' Park on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Separated by goal difference alone, both Newcastle and Southampton will be well aware of the significance of defeating the other.Victory would take either to the 30-point mark and potentially as many as six points clear of the relegation zone with 11 games to play. The phrase 'breathing space' springs to mind. A year ago the Geordies ended February in the top six and with genuine Champions League aspirations - their phenomenal season earned them a Europa League adventure, which continued in Kharkiv on Thursday to mixed emotions among their supporters.There's a feeling on Tyneside that their ultimate exit may well ensure that any lingering relegation threat will quickly evaporate once the demanding Thursday/Sunday regime has concluded.In truth, though, Newcastle's outlook had already been improved significantly by their productive January recruitment drive - a little je ne sais quoi providing them with an essential boost following a six-game winless run.Their French connection subsequently earned them their first back-to-back wins of the season. The defeat at Spurs in their last league outing seems unlikely to dampen their new found joie de vivre , especially with St James' Park hosting a 'French Day' for the visit of Saints.That said, their opponents this weekend arrive in equally or perhaps arguably even higher spirits. Saints' well deserved win against Manchester City last time out merely confirmed their steadily improving form. With just one league defeat in nine games, Southampton have clearly proven that their acclimatisation process is now complete. That it took them time to do so is surely understandable when considering that successive promotions thrust them at high velocity into the top division.It's also worth noting that unlike their European-occupied hosts, they'll have had a full 15-day rest ahead of their arrival at St James' Park.  

Team News:
Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul is a doubt to face Southampton after suffering an ankle injury in Thursday's Europa League win at Metalist Kharkiv.
Midfielder Cheick Tiote could return after missing that game through illness, while Davide Santon is back in training after an ankle problem.
Southampton duo Gaston Ramirez and Luke Shaw return after missing the win against Manchester City through injury.
Guly do Prado is doubtful, while Jose Fonte remains out with a knee problem.

Head-to-head
Southampton won 2-0 in the corresponding fixture last year. That was the first league encounter between these clubs since January 2005 and a first win for the Saints over Newcastle in any competition since 2002.
This is the 87th meeting of the two sides, with the Magpies just edging out Southampton by 35 victories to 33.
The two sides go into this game level on 27 points.

Newcastle
Newcastle's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Tottenham last time out ended a run of back-to-back victories, against Chelsea and Aston Villa.
This time last season the Magpies' home record was the fifth best in the league with just two defeats in 12; however this term they lie 13th best overall (lost six of 13).
The Magpies have yet to win a league match having conceded first this season (D2, L9).
Six of Newcastle's seven league wins this season have come on home soil, while they have scored an identical number of goals (17) in both their home and away Premier League matches.
Papiss Cisse has scored five goals in 23 league starts this season, compared to 13 league goals in as many starts last term.
James Perch could make his 250th league appearance on Sunday.

Southampton
Southampton's 3-1 win against reigning champions Manchester City last time out was their second league win in nine games, of which six were draws.
Saints have lost just once on the road in their last five games and have taken 19 of their 27 points this season against bottom-half opposition.
Only Wigan and QPR have a worse first-half record in the Premier League than Southampton, who have trailed at the interval more than any other team (12).
Leading scorer Rickie Lambert will be looking for his 100th Southampton goal against Newcastle having scored in five of Saints' last six away league games.
Richard Chaplow could make his 250th league appearance.

Man City V Chelsea Barclays Premier League Preview Feb 24, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,24 February 2013, One of the important match Man City V Chelsea of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Man City V Chelsea  streaming is available here.Man City V Chelsea Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Etihad Stadium on 2/24/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.There is every chance that Manchester City will be 15 points behind their neighbours by the time this game against Chelsea kicks off on Sunday.If so, and Manchester City don't win, then there is surely a far greater chance of them being overtaken by Chelsea, and maybe even Spurs, than there is of them catching United. Indeed, Sir Alex Ferguson could be forgiven for calculating that United could win the title as early as 8 April 8 by beating City at Old Trafford - the stuff of City nightmares at the Theatre of Dreams. If you are reading this on Sunday morning and QPR have beaten United at Loftus Road, then I gladly give you permission to call me a plonker and to declare the title race back on. That's how pivotal this 24 hours could be.If Roberto Mancini nicks the title this time around it would be an even greater achievement than that of 12 months ago because his squad is palpably inferior to the title winners of last May, whilst United are clearly stronger thanks to their reliant Robin. Mancini's assertion that his failure to sign van Persie might be key is one of the things he has got right this season.Like Mancini, Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez is looking at the probability of losing his job once the season is done. The Spaniard's interview this week declaring his lifelong love of Real Madrid and ambition to manage his country suggest that Benitez is already looking beyond the Bridge.However, strange things happen; Chelsea's interim boss may actually have a better chance of survival than City's incumbent. Despite their labours against first Brentford and then Sparta Prague, Chelsea could still win two cups this season; how ironic would it be if winning the FA Cup and the Champions League was ultimately not enough to save Roberto Di Matteo, and yet winning the FA Cup and the Europa League was Rafa's salvation?

Team News:
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany could miss a fifth successive game with a calf injury.
Gareth Barry is a doubt with an ankle problem sustained during last week's FA Cup win over Leeds.
Chelsea are likely to be much-changed from the side that started Thursday's Europa League last-32 tie against Sparta Prague.
Frank Lampard, Branislav Ivanovic, Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Eden Hazard and Demba Ba could all be recalled.

Head-to-head
Chelsea have won 10 of their 15 Premier League visits to Manchester City but have lost their last three trips.
Manchester City have won five of their last eight games in all competitions against Chelsea, including August's Charity Shield.

Manchester City
City have gone three league games without a win (D2, L1) for the first time this season. They last went four matches without victory between September and November 2009 during a run of seven consecutive league draws.
The 3-1 defeat by Southampton was only the seventh time they have conceded three goals in a Premier League game under Roberto Mancini.
Nonetheless, they still have the division's best defensive record and have kept an unrivalled 11 clean sheets.
They have scored 25 goals in the final half hour of Premier League matches this season, more than any other team.
Carlos Tevez has failed to score in his last eight league appearances.
Edin Dzeko has scored six goals in his last seven Premier League games.

Chelsea
Chelsea are vying to earn successive league wins for the first time this year.
They have earned 25 points from 14 league matches under Rafa Benitez, one point more than Roberto Di Matteo managed from two fewer games in charge.
The Blues have 49 points, three more than they had at the same stage last season.
They have been awarded eight penalties in the league this season, more than any other team.
Frank Lampard will make his 550th league appearance. He has scored 199 goals for Chelsea, three behind Bobby Tambling's club record tally. He has scored in four successive Premier League appearances for the first time since August 2010 and has 11 goals in only 13 league starts this season.
Juan Mata has been involved in 19 goals (10 goals, nine assists) in 20 league starts for Chelsea this season.

Watford v Derby Palace Npower Championship Preview Feb 23, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,23 February 2013, One of the important match Watford v Derby of Npower Championship HD Quality Live Watford v Derby streaming is availahere.Watford v Derby Live Stream online Npower Championship online Video Free The match will take plcae at Vicarage Road on 2/23/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Watford have no new injury concerns, wingback Daniel Pudil is doubtful due to illness so fit again Joel Ekstrand could deputise once more.The defensive trio of Fitz Hall (hamstring), Tommie Hoban (ankle) and Neuton (back) continue to miss out.Derby have Jake Buxton available again after eight weeks out to ease Nigel Clough's defensive problems.Mark O'Brien, James O'Connor and Shaun Barker are out with knee injuries so Buxton could start.

Head-to-head
Derby achieved their biggest league win of the season, and Watford suffered their heaviest defeat in the Rams' 5-1 victory at Pride Park in September, when there were six different scorers.
Now the Midland club are chasing a third win in four visits to Vicarage Road to complete the league double, last achieved in 2010.
Watford need to score once to take their total of league goals against Derby to 50.

Watford
Watford boast the best record in the Championship in 2013, with six wins, one draw, two defeats and 19 points from nine games.
Gianfranco Zola's side are chasing a third successive victory and clean sheet.
The Hornets are the top scorers in all four divisions (66 from 33), but have netted 10 fewer goals at home than on their travels (28 at Vicarage Road, 38 away).

Derby County
10th-placed Derby have drawn their last two, are without a win in four, and have only mustered one Championship maximum (over Huddersfield), since starting 2013 with three points against Middlesbrough.
Nigel Clough's side are far stronger at home than away, picking up 18 more points at Pride Park than on the road; only Leeds surpass that with a 19-point differential.
The current return of 44 points from 33 games is one point better than last season.

Head-to-head
This is the 50th league meeting, with Sheffield Wednesday leading by 19 wins to 15 since first engaging in 1921.
Goals at either end of the match from Glenn Murray gave Crystal Palace their first win of the league season, defeating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the reverse fixture on 1 September.
The Eagles have only won three league games at Hillsborough, doing the double in 1997-98 in the Premier League, and in 2001-02 at second league level.

Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are on the joint longest current unbeaten sequence in the Championship of six games.
The Owls have not lost a league match since New Years' Day, but have only drawn the last two.
Tuesday's goalless trip to Birmingham took the total of Championship games in which Dave Jones' side had failed to score to an unmatched 12.

Crystal Palace
Ian Holloway's Crystal Palace have regained their form, having bagged 10 points out of 12, and victory at Hillsborough would give them a third successive maximum and their longest winning sequence since five on the bounce in mid-November.
But while fourth-placed Palace are unbeaten in 16 league games at Selhurst Park, they have not mustered a victory in eight on the road (D4, L4).
The Eagles, on their best equivalent points for 19 seasons, have won five matches and recovered an unsurpassed 17 Championship points when opponents have scored the opening goal.

Team News:
Shielfield manager Ian Little is telling his men to be confident. "We could have won the game down here before that was drawn 1-1," he said. "We also gave Rangers a real fright when we scored two goals at Ibrox in quick succession to come back from three goals down so we can look forward to the game.
"We will attack but we know that we have to defend well or be punished."
Rangers are boosted by the return of three players ahead of their Irn-Bru Third Division trip.
Francisco Sandaza (thigh) and Ross Perry (hamstring) are both back in
contention after injury, while Kal Naismith is free from suspension.
Skipper Lee McCulloch and Kevin Kyle (both ankle) remain on the sidelines ahead of the visit to Shielfield.

Boss Ally McCoist has demanded an improvement this time from the performance they gave in their last visit.
He said: "It was as poorly as we have played. It was anything but a good experience. I was so disappointed in the manner in which we played.
"It will be a tough game. The playing surface at this stage of the season might not be at its best, which will make it a little bit harder to play a passing game.
"So, more so than ever, we will be faced with a cup tie atmosphere and type of game, which is fine, because we will be ready for it.
"The last time we were down there, we did not perform well and we have to do better."

Bristol City v Barnsley Npower Championship Preview Feb 23, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,23 February 2013, One of the important match Reebok Stadium of Npower Championship HD Quality Live Bristol City v Barnsley streaming is available here.Reebok Stadium Live Stream online video Npower Championship Video Free The match will take plcae at Ashton Gate on 2/23/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Bristol City are missing three first-team regulars with captain Cole Skuse (knee), striker Sam Baldock (calf) and defender Louis Carey (knee) all losing their races to get fit.
Right-back Brendan Moloney may have better luck with his hamstring injury.Barnsley should have Kelvin Etuhu available after he missed the last game with a broken nose.The Tykes have had Scott Golbourne ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

Head-to-head
Barnsley overcame the dismissal of Bobby Hassell to beat Bristol City 1-0 in the reverse fixture, courtesy of a Jacob Mellis goal.
It gives the Tykes the chance of their first double over Bristol City in 56 years, but the South Yorkshire club have only won three of their last 11 league meetings.
Bristol City are defending an 11-match unbeaten home league sequence with Barnsley, winning eight and drawing three since the Tykes' 2-0 success in October 1993.

Bristol City
Successive 2-1 away defeats to Cardiff and Crystal Palace in the last week have seen Bristol City slide back to the foot of the table, with unrivalled and unwanted figures of 20 league defeats and 62 goals conceded.
Despite being six points short of safety having played one more game than most of their rivals, Sean O'Driscoll's men are hoping to complete four successive league victories on home soil, last experienced at Ashton Gate in April 2011.
For the second season running, the Robins have 31 points after 33 games, but last term they rallied to pick up a further 18 from the closing 13 fixtures to finish two places and nine points clear of the drop zone.

Barnsley
Recently appointed manager David Flitcroft has not only guided Barnsley to a quarter-final tie in the FA Cup with Manchester City, but also out of the relegation zone, and has transformed them into the "form" team in the Championship.
The Tykes have won their last six in all competitions, and are vying for a fifth successive league victory, which has not been achieved since the opening five games of the 1996/97 campaign that led to promotion to the Premier League.
The South Yorkshire club have scored eight more goals on their Championship travels than at home (28 away, 20 at the Oakwell), and have netted fewer first-half goals than any other club in the division (12).

Head-to-head
This is the 25th meeting of these clubs in league and cup; Brighton have won eight and Burnley nine of the previous 24.
A brilliant double from Craig Mackail-Smith helped Brighton secure a 3-1 win at Turf Moor in September; their first victory in eight against the Clarets.
A home win will give the Seagulls their second double over Burnley; the first was 20 years ago.

Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton could find themselves back in the play-off zone they vacated four months ago, if they can follow up Tuesday's shock 2-0 away win over runaway leaders Cardiff.
The Championship's draw specialists (13 of 32) have won fewer home matches than any other top-half club; just six.
On loan Dean Hammond is in line to make his 350th career league appearance, and fellow midfielder Gary Dicker his 150th Brighton appearance.

Burnley
Mid-table Burnley are looking for a first victory in five Championship outings, having notched two points from a last possible 12.

Head-to-head
Bolton have won 22 and Hull 11 of their 50 competitive meetings over 105 years.
Stephen Quinn scored on his debut as Hull came from behind to win the reverse fixture 3-1 five months ago, but the East Yorkshire club have never done the league double over Bolton.
Hull's only league maximum on Bolton turf was 2-1 in March 1935.

Bolton Wanderers
At 16th in the Championship table, Bolton are the highest placed of the five clubs with a divisional-low nine wins.
Five of those nine victories were picked up during the 19 games under Dougie Freedman, who has also overseen five defeats and nine draws, including 1-1 draws away to Nottingham Forest and Derby in the last week.
This is Bolton's 600th home fixture in second-tier league football.

Hull City
Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Blackburn was Hull's third on the spin and took them to within five points of Cardiff, the only club above them in the table.
Three points would see Steve Bruce's side claiming four consecutive league wins for the second time in three months. They have not lost away to a bottom-half club.
Championship games involving the Tigers have generated fewer goals than any other club (78).

Blackpool v Leicester Npower Championship Preview Feb 23, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,23 February 2013, One of the important match Blackpool v Leicester of Npower Championship HD Quality Live Blackpool v Leicester streaming is available here.Blackpool v Leicester Live Stream online video Npower Championship Video Free The match will take plcae at Bloomfield Road on 2/23/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.New Blackpool boss Paul Ince looks set to keep veteran midfielder Barry Ferguson in the line-up after the midweek defeat against Leeds.Forwards Nathan Delfouneso and Matt Derbyshire may play in a bid to cure the Seasiders' recent scoring problems.Leicester's Matty James received a knock in the midweek defeat to Charlton and is doubtful. Andy King is the leading candidate to replace him.On-loan striker Harry Kane is included in an otherwise full-strength squad.

Head-to-head
Blackpool and Leicester have each won 38 of the previous 96 competitive matches, spanning 117 years.
A Ben Marshall penalty proved the difference when these clubs met at the King Power Stadium in September, and provided the Foxes with the chance of a second double over Blackpool in three seasons. But they have only won one of their last 16 league matches at Bloomfield Road.
Last season's corresponding fixture was a 3-3 draw, and each club has scored 149 goals against the other in league clashes.

Blackpool
Paul Ince makes his home debut as Blackpool manager, and immediately is set the task of preventing a third successive defeat, and second under the newly recruited boss following Wednesday's 2-0 reverse at Leeds.
Blackpool have been the most prolific scorers in the last 15 minutes of Championship matches, when 18 of their 50 goals have been netted.
The first goal in this match will be the 100th to figure in Championship games involving the Lancashire club.

Leicester City
Leicester have lost their last three games in all competitions and have slipped from second to fifth, but 53 points after 31 games is their best return at this level since the 2002-03 season, which resulted in promotion to the Premier League.
Nigel Pearson's side boast the tightest defence in the second tier (28 goals conceded), but they've not kept a clean sheet in five league and cup games.
Of 373 goal attempts, 224 have been on target, which means the Foxes have an accuracy rate of 60%, the highest proportion in the Championship.

Blackburn v Leeds United Npower Championship Preview Feb 23, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,23 February 2013, One of the important match Blackburn v Leeds United of Npower Championship HD Quality Live Blackburn v Leeds United streaming is available here.Blackburn v Leeds United Live Stream online video Npower Championship Video Free The match will take plcae at Ewood Park on 2/23/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Blackburn manager Michael Appleton has lost Lee Williamson for up to six weeks with an ankle injury, and Dickson Etuho's return from knee problems also hit a snag in the reserves last Monday. Right-back Adam Henley came through a reserve outing and may get a game. Leeds boss Neil Warnock will check his players for signs of tiredness after the midweek game against Blackpool. Michael Tonge is expected to continue in midfield alongside Paul Green and David Norris.

Head-to-head
Six goals were shared when these clubs met at Elland Road earlier in the season, with Blackburn snatching a point from Ruben Rochina's equaliser six minutes from time.
Leeds travel in search of a fifth league win in seven trips to Ewood Park, although it is their first visit for a league fixture in nine years.
Blackburn thrashed the West Yorkshire club 3-0 when entertaining them most recently in the League Cup in October 2005.

Blackburn Rovers
Seven days after beating Arsenal in the FA Cup, Blackburn are looking for a fifth win from Michael Appleton's ninth game in charge.
They are also vying for a third successive league victory at Ewood Park, but have only scored 19 Championship goals on their own ground, which is the lowest in the division with the exception of Barnsley's 16.
The Lancashire club have not lost a league game in which they scored first, but the 2-0 midweek defeat at Hull was the first time they had failed to find the net in any competition since Boxing Day.

Leeds United
Ninth-placed Leeds - the busiest of the Championship clubs - go into their 42nd match of the season, looking for their first back-to-back league wins of 2013.
Neil Warnock's side have not won in six league games on the road, and have lost all their away fixtures against the top 15 clubs, with the exception of the trip to Brighton, which ended 2-2.
Their trio of away victories have been against three of the bottom four clubs, and they are yet to keep a clean sheet on their Championship travels.

West Brom v Sunderland Barclays Premier League Preview Feb 23rd, 2013

West Brom's 4-2 at The Stadium of Light four months ago took them third in the table as they recorded four consecutive top-flight wins. They were defying all odds and were there on merit.They were always going to hit an uncomfortable run and Steve Clarke will hope that the victory at Liverpool, their first in seven matches, has ended it. The saga over the proposed transfer of Peter Odenwingie certainly didn't help, but they are still five points better off than Roy Hodgson's side were at this stage 12 months ago and have the foundations to better last season's.That's the size of the task ahead for Sunderland. A run of five wins in the last 11 matches has calmed the nerves on Wearside, as they were rising after only two victories in the first 15 of the season.As always with Martin O'Neill they have been strong defensively; coincidentally, West Brom are the only team to score more than three goals against them this season. However scoring goals has been the real frustration, with only 28 in 26 games so far. Steven Fletcher has 10 of those alone, so Danny Graham's arrival should ease some of the burden in time as they aim to look upwards in the table.  

Team News:
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke has to decide whether to recall striker Peter Odemwingie, whose attempt to force a move to QPR last month failed.
Defender Goran Popov will serve the second game of a three-match ban for his red card against Tottenham.
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill could hand a first start to January signing Danny Graham.
Defender Danny Rose is likely to miss out with a hamstring injury, while Lee Cattermole is nursing a knee problem.

Head-to-head
A 4-2 victory at Sunderland in November put West Brom third in the Premier League table and helped them record four successive top-flight wins for the first time since 1980.
West Brom are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Sunderland (W5, D1).
Seven of the last eight league meetings between the sides have produced a minimum of three goals.

West Brom
West Brom's 2-0 victory over Liverpool ended a run of six Premier League matches without a win.
They have not won at home since beating Norwich on 22 December.
According to Opta stats, West Brom have averaged 1.86 points per Premier League match when Youssouf Mulumbu and Claudio Yacob have both started this season, compared to 0.75 points when they haven't.

Sunderland
The Black Cats are winless in their last three Premier League matches.
Only Stoke (42.6%) and Reading (40%) have recorded a lower average possession than Sunderland (43.3%) this season.
Martin O'Neill's side have only won one of their 14 matches against top-half opposition this season (W1, D5, L8).
