Botev Plovdiv will host CSKA Sofia for the Cup. Of course, the visitors are favorites in this match. CSKA Sofia is one of the best teams in the better league Bulgaria. However, I think, this will not be an easy task for the visitors. I expect, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. Botev Plovdiv is very average team in their league. In any case, the hosts have the motivation to get a positive result on the home ground. In my opinion, the hosts will pay attention on their defense. Also, they will in this match seek their chance. My pick - Botev Plovdiv to win.

We will respect the winter break - KloppThe Football Association said every club agreed to this season's FA Cup fixture schedule and knew fourth-round replays might cut into their winter breaks, as is also the case with Tottenham, Southampton and Newcastle.

When all this [Covid-19] came about we were doing lots of running anyway," says Edwards, who helped the Stockholm-based club to their first league title for 14 years last term. We went to South Africa in January and that was tough up in the mountains. We go into the woods near the training ground so we've done lots of running there. There's a monster hill, which is horrible. We've done the bleep test and Yo-yo tests - it's been tough.
Perhaps it’s adorably naive of us to have any sympathy for Sturridge: after all, he can’t have been entirely oblivious to what was happening, but for someone who’s already suffered from plenty of bad luck in the past with injuries and so forth, it’s still a significant kick in the pants. Arsenal ease through with win over Portsmouth This has generally been a season when things haven’t gone to plan, up and down the Premier League and beyond.

Visitors will play with strong defense, they have lack of efficiency, on last round, at home ground against Paris FC, they attacker Sane has missed a penalty, they are without victory since 8 November, more than a two months, so their major goal in this duel will be to avoid defeat.

It was all too easy for City against a Burnley side that did not name their full complement of substitutes for their first game since the Premier League restarted behind closed doors amid the coronavirus pandemic. Foden played a starring role in the rout, starting the move that saw Bernardo Silva tee up David Silva to make it 4-0 soon after the break, and then adding a fifth himself after Gabriel Jesus helped on a David Silva cross.
If we believe in tradition, but also and in current form, than this duel from Germany 3rd Bundesliga will bring to us today plenty of goals, so I will bet on that option here. So, home team is really very good team for betting on goals and they are in last three matches played 1-2, 4-2 and 4-1, so it is natural to expect similar situation and this time. Meppen is maybe not so good team like it is the home rival, but also, they are often very efficient generally. We will see what will happen this time. Over is ok.

The inevitable Zlatan link emerges Manchester United's Zlatan Ibrahimovic celebrates at the end of the match with Jose MourinhoReuters Yesterday, one of The Warm-Up’s colleagues idly speculated about putting £1,000 on Zlatan Ibrahimovic joining Tottenham in January, so obvious was it that he was the first type of player Mourinho would be looking to bring into a Tottenham squad starved of success, and light on strikers.

It's sad to see Bournemouth playing the way they are. It's been a struggle all season and if they do go down (which looks very likely), a player exodus is likely during the summer. They are in terrible form and have been letting in far too many goals. Tottenham have won two of their last three league games and need to continue to keep winning if they want European football next season. Go for an away win in this match.
The performance of the day was surely Everton's comeback at Vicarage Road where two first-half stoppage time goals from defender Yerry Mina saw them claw back Watford's advantage.

Forest Green had a great run of form in September winning four and drawing twice, lifting the club into the automatic promotion contention.
