Tottenham vs Arsenal Premier League live Preview Mar 3, 2013

Match Preview: Sunday,3 March 2013, One of the important match Tottenham vs Arsenal of  Premier League HD Quality Live Tottenham vs Arsenal streaming is availahere.Tottenham vs Arsenal Live Stream online Premier League online Video Free The match will take plcae at Tannadice Park on 3/3/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things .TEAM NEWS .   Tottenham have blown so many opportunities to swing the pendulum of north London power their way in recent seasons. This time they must make it count.Spurs have managed to win only five of the last 20 meetings where they have scored the opening goal. At the Emirates in November, the visitors looked commanding at 1-0 up in the first 10 minutes through Emmanuel Adebayor. But then the striker now loathed by his old Arsenal supporters got himself stupidly sent off. Arsenal took charge and won 5-2.
Andre Villas-Boas knows a victory will propel his Spurs team a huge way towards the Champions League, leaving the Gunners seven points adrift of their arch-rivals with 10 games to play. Tottenham are unbeaten in 11 games. Gareth Bale is in the form of his life with 12 goals in his last 12 games. Adebayor will be on a mission of redemption. They'll never have a better chance to convincingly become the top side in the capital.  But should they lose at home in this fixture for the first time since September 2007, those old doubts will come creeping back. Will they choke in the final weeks again?

The dramatic recent history of this famous old clash would suggest it is impossible to predict. There have been 33 goals in the last six meetings.
But it's very difficult to see Arsenal's flimsy defence holding Spurs at bay. They've kept just one clean sheet in 13 games against top six or Champions League opposition this season.
Their brittle confidence won't have been wholly reinforced by the win against Aston Villa or their five-game unbeaten league run. If the Gunners concede first this time, Spurs could run rampant.
Reports of a massive summer transfer market splurge might appease some fans, but with an almost certain Champions League exit in Munich to come in the next fortnight, Arsene Wenger really needs a victory.
That would breathe new life into a morbid campaign and get him out of jail. Not that Spurs are in a mood to grant him Bale.

Defender Tim Clancy remains on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
Kilmarnock forward Jude Winchester: "We will be looking to go further in the cup but it will be hard because both teams want to progress. But we will have the faith and hopefully we will get the win.
"We won the cup last year and we know what it felt like and we want to get that same feeling this year, so hopefully we do well on Sunday and we can get the win."
Kilmarnock boss Kenny Shiels will include Kris Boyd in his squad for Sunday's William Hill Scottish Cup tie with Hibernian.Boyd returned to Kilmarnock last weekend after his spell at Portland Timbers came to an end in January.
Shiels, who has no fresh injury worries, may partner the player with Paul Heffernan for the quarter-final clash at Rugby Park.
Hibs looks set to be boosted by the return of defender Paul Hanlon as they aim to move within one game of their second successive Scottish Cup final.
Hanlon was left out of the midweek draw with Killie after taking a knock on the hip but is expected to play in the tie.
Tim Clancy (hamstring) remains on the sidelines as the visitors look to stretch their unbeaten run to four games. THESE two go head-to-head again just four days after their last encounter.
Kenny Shiels’ side bossed Wednesday’s 2-2 draw for much of the night but couldn’t kill Hibs off.
And Pat Fenlon’s men will have taken a huge lift from batting back twice late on to snatch a point.
All-time SPL record goalscorer Kris Boyd watched the game from the bench on Wednesday.
And it might well be time for Shiels to throw his new signing in as he looks to give his side an extra edge.
But with Paul Hanlon expected to be back Hibs will be at near full strength – and they’ll believe they can dump Killie out of the cup for the second year in a row.

Dundee vs Dundee Utd Scottish Cup live Preview Mar 3, 2013

The new Dundee boss has stoked things up ahead of this weekend’s Scottish Cup quarter-final and the rabble-rousing has delighted his team’s fans.
Dundee got a morale-boosting point against St Johnstone on Wednesday so will go into the contest with renewed hope.
But after losing both derbies by a 3-0 margin this season they are clearly underdogs, despite being at home.
With relegation surely a certainty, this is THE game of their season.
United have gone about their business much more quietly and have a major concern over striker Johnny Russell, who went off injured against Inverness in midweek.
But they will still be confident of completing a hat-trick over their rivals.
The last time they changed manager mid-season they lifted the Scottish Cup and new manager Jackie McNamara will be hoping history repeats itself.

Dundee goalkeeper Rab Douglas: "It's been a hard week. It's been a strange week as well.
"It's never easy concentrating on the football with all the other stuff going on around the club.
"That's probably just Dundee for you though. It's still a great place to play and we need to get on with it.
"The best release for any footballer is to go and play games in quick succession. That's they way it is going, so that is brilliant.
"All we can do is go out and try our hardest. We were not far away against St Johnstone on Wednesday.
"The way we ended the match gives us confidence and now we can go into the derby looking forward to it."

Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara: "This will be a very tough game, no doubt about it.

"We all know derbies are special games and we'll have to be good on the day to win.
"We can't afford not to be as Dundee will be well motivated for the game and will want to get into the next round as much as we do.
"They got a good draw the other night against St Johnstone with 10 men so we're under no illusions about just how tough a match we're facing.
"The bottom line as in any cup competition is to get through to the next round. That's what we're preparing to try and do because any cup run is special to any club.
"I know I have very good players here who can compete with anyone on their day. This is a big occasion coming up on Sunday and it's one they should be really looking forward to."

AC Milan vs Lazio Italian Serie A live Preview Mar 2, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2 March 2013, One of the important match AC Milan vs Lazio of  Italian Serie A HD Quality Live AC Milan vs Lazio streaming is availahere.AC Milan vs Lazio Live Stream online Italian Serie A online Video Free The match will take plcae at Tannadice Park on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things .TEAM NEWS  When: Saturday, 2:45 p.m. ET Where: Stadio Guiseppe Meazza; Milan, Italy
The only match taking place in Serie A on Saturday is the top four clash between AC Milan and Lazio.
The two clubs are battling for third place in the table, which will determine the third and final entrant into next season's edition of the UEFA Champions League.
The last time  these two clubs met was on October 20 as Lazio came out victorious, 3-2.
This time around, the Rossoneri are looking to reverse that result and leapfrog Lazio in the table.
AC Milan comes into the match as the club in better form. They are on an eight-match unbeaten run while Lazio have lost three of their last five matches.
Lazio have just missed out on playing in Europe's premier club competition the past two seasons. They have flirted with the top three most of this season, but now a resurgent Rossoneri are hot on their heels. Just two points separate the two teams going in to this massive clash.

It wasn't so long ago that Massimiliano Allegri's job security looked very precarious. However, since the turn of the year, his side have put together a remarkable string of results in both Serie A and the Champions League.

Mario Balotelli's arrival has given the entire team a lift. He misses this game through a knee injury picked up in last weekend's derby draw with city rivals Inter. While the absence of Super Mario is a blow, Lazio won't have it easy as Milan were able to defeat Barcelona without the services of the former Manchester City man, and they still have Stephan El Shaarawy, who will be looking to add to his tally of 16 domestic goals.

Philippe Mexes misses out through suspension and hamstring victim Daniele Bonera joins Nigel De Jong in the treatment room.

Lazio have won the last two meetings in Rome and earned a 2-2 draw at the San Siro in last season's opener, after racing into a 2-0 lead. The Eagles got back to winning ways on Monday with a morale boosting victory over Pescara, their first league victory in six games.

Vladimir Petkovic is under no illusions at the task facing a side. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, the Bosnian said:

"It will be a very important game. So of course we will try to win it.

FC Twente vs Ajax Netherlands Eredivisie live Preview Mar 2, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2 March 2013, One of the important match FC Twente vs Ajax of  Netherlands Eredivisie HD Quality Live FC Twente vs Ajax streaming is availahere.FC Twente vs Ajax Live Stream online Netherlands Eredivisie online Video Free The match will take plcae at Tannadice Park on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things .TEAM NEWS  The reigning Eredivisie champions are coming into this match on the back of a 3-1 win over Noordwijk in the KNVB beker Cup.Although the Amsterdammers managed to emerge victorious by the end of the match, Frank de Boer, De Joden head coach, was far from pleased with his side’s performance against a Dutch third tier outfit.The Amsterdam giants spilled points in last week’s league encounter against PSV Eindhoven at Philips Stadion. Consequently, they dropped to third place in the league table. They have an overall record of 6 played, 4 won and 2 drawn.De Boer will be hoping that his troops put up an impressive performance against the Enschede outfit and bag maximum points in front of their home crowd


Ajax Amsterdam

Ajax's recent fixture list has a tough one. They already drew agains Olympique Lyon (CL) and PSV (no.5 Eredivisie), and in the next four days they play against Eredivisie leaders FC Twente and Spanish giant Real Madrid.

A difficult programme might be an understatement, and the results haven’t been terrific for Ajax who tried to go for the win against Lyon but only got one point.
However, in their last Eredivisie match against PSV they couldn’t complain with their earned point. PSV was better overall, but couldn’t obtain their lead twice, and couldn’t score the winner after the second Ajax equaliser.
In the midweek cup match against amateurs VV Noordwijk they progressed without excelling after the 2-1 away victory. It was not a real surprise they didn’t shine as several starters were rested and some reserves was given their chance, with 3 players making their official debut. Important players as Janssen, Sigthorsson and van der Wiel didn’t play at all, and midfielder Eriksen played a slim quarter of an hour.

Unfortunately winger Ozbiliz who was just back from an injury left the pitch after 30 minutes with an ankle injury, and he is not included in the squad for this match. Winger Ebecilio returns after a suspension, just as Anita and Sulejmani who return after an injury.
Ajax is far from stable in their back line, conceding in all of their 6 league matches so far. They do have enough quality to counter the many conceded goals by scoring numerous themself, which is backed by their gd of 20-9(!) after six matches.

FC Twente

FC Twente didn’t have any problems disposing ADO Den Haag in their last league match even though they were down 1-0 quick after the match started. With a 1-1 score at halftime ADO was dreaming of bringing a point home but the 5-2 final score was an expected result.

This means that FC Twente are still (joint) top of the table with 15 points out of 6 matches. They strolled through their cup match against the amateurs of de Zwaluwen with a final score of 8-0.
In their cup match defender Buysse went off injured but he is fit for this match. Goalie Mihailov was ill but is also ready for this match.
Now Twente are returning to the Amsterdam Arena, where they lost the title on the final round of the Eredivisie last season. In their previous visit to the Arena, they managed to beat Ajax 2-1 for the Supercup, where the departe Ruiz scored the winner.
Twente are playing an offensive game not free from risks. I’m not expecting to start as attacking as in their home matches, but still they will continue to do what they have done so far, which is trying to play their own game.
It has worked out well at times, but at other times they have been totally outplayed (Benfica), or got stung with their offensive intentions (Roda JC). The last four league matches involving Twente ended with both teams scoring, and they have a goal difference of 18-6.

PSV vs VVV Venlo Netherlands Eredivisie live Preview Mar 2, 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2 March 2013, One of the important match PSV vs VVV Venlo of  Netherlands Eredivisie HD Quality Live PSV vs VVV Venlo streaming is availahere.PSV vs VVV Venlo Live Stream online Netherlands Eredivisie online Video Free The match will take plcae at Tannadice Park on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things .TEAM NEWS  VV have not registered a lone win in their last five head-to-head encounters against PSV. The Boeren won three fixtures convincingly while the remaining two encounters ended in stalemates.
Players to watch
Ahmed Musa – VVV-Venlo
The Nigerian striker will be counted on to provide the scoring punch upfront as the hosts look to threaten the Eindhoven giants. The youngster has already found the back of the net thrice in two appearances and will certainly look to add more to his tally in this difficult encounter.
Dries Mertens – PSV Eindhoven
The pint-sized winger was the second highest assists provider in Eredivisie last season and played an integral role in the 6-1 win over SBV Excelsior. The Belgian ace will look to conjure up a similar kind of performance at De Koel Stadion on Sunday.
VVV-Venlo
Venlose Trots are coming into this match on the back of a demoralising 4-1 loss at the hands of FC Twente Enschede at De Grolsch Veste. The home side staged an impressive show and outplayed VVV in every department on the field.
After finishing 17^th in the league table last term, prolonging their stay in Eredivisie by winning relegation/promotion playoffs, the Good Old are still struggling to compete in the Dutch top flight. They are currently placed 15^th in the league table and are yet to register their first win of the season.
Glen de Boeck, VVV head coach, is hopeful that his troops will start delivering good performances on the pitch and achieve better results as the season progresses.
PSV Eindhoven
The Boeren are brimming with confidence following their impressive back-to-back convincing wins against ADO Den Haag and SBV Excelsior. The Eindhoven giants performed impressively both at home and away in the aforementioned outings, outclassing both sides comprehensively on the field.
After dominating throughout the 2010/11 campaign, PSV were utterly disappointed to finish third in the league table by the end of the season. Nonetheless, the hefty spending in the summer transfer window has boosted the Eindhoven giants’ hopes of lifting the Eredivisie title this season.
Fred Rutten, PSV manager, has so far remained silent and has not given a single bold statement about his title chances. However, his side’s exceptional performances speak for themselves. Rutten would be looking to secure another convincing win and send a strong message to other title contenders.
Newly acquired Tim Matavz, who joined the Boeren on the final day of the recently concluded summer transfer market from FC Groningen, is expected to make his debut on Sunday for PSV. The Slovenian ace had an impressive 2010/11 campaign and would be hoping to stage a similar kind of performance at Philips Stadion as well this season.

Ipswich v Leicester Npower Championship Preview 2nd March 2013

Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Ipswich v Leicester of Npower Championship HD Quality Live Ipswich v Leicester streaming is available here.Ipswich v Leicester Live Stream online Npower Championship Video Free The match will take plcae at Portman Road on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.Reece Brown and Frank Nouble are both pushing for their full Ipswich debuts against fifth-placed Leicester.Defender Brown arrived on loan from Manchester United this week and will be pressing for an immediate chance to impress at Portman Road.Nouble, however, signed from Wolves back in January but has only managed seven substitute appearances during that time.Yet his hat-trick for Ipswich's Under-21 side in midweek coupled with manager Mick McCarthy's goalscoring dilemma, with his side finding the net just once in their last four games, could see Nouble promoted to a starting role.

Team News:
Reece Brown and Frank Nouble could make their Ipswich debuts. Brown has joined on loan from Manchester United while Nouble, on loan from Wolves, scored a hat-trick for the Under-21s this week.
Long-term absentees Anthony Wordsworth (back) and Paul Taylor (foot) miss out.
Leicester's leading goalscorer David Nugent (neck) is again doubtful after missing the midweek win over Blackburn.
The Foxes have no new injury concerns and midfielder Matty James could return following a knee injury.

Head-to-head
Nigel Pearson celebrated the first anniversary of his return as Leicester boss with a 6-0 thrashing of Ipswich in the reverse fixture in November. It was the widest margin of victory between the clubs.
The Foxes are now looking for a third consecutive win over the Tractor Boys, and their first double over them in six years.
Eleven years ago, Ipswich won this corresponding fixture at Portman Road 6-1.

Ipswich Town
Ipswich have won two of their 10 league and cup games in 2013, and are averaging a point a game since the turn of the year.
The goalless draw at Huddersfield last weekend was an unsurpassed 12th Championship match this season in which the Tractor Boys had failed to score, and their second in succession.
If striker Michael Chopra is involved from kick-off, he will be making his 250th career league start.

Leicester City
Leicester ended a four-match winless sequence of league and cup games with Tuesday's 3-0 home win over Blackburn.
It was the Foxes' second successive clean sheet and an unequalled 14th in this Championship season.
Nigel Pearson's side still boast the tightest defence in the second tier with 28 goals conceded in 33 games. They are the only club in the division to have shipped under a goal a game on average.

Head-to-head
This is the 120th league meeting between Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest, with the clubs all-square at 48 wins each since first clashing in 1892.
