She netted a first-half hat-trick as the Suffolk side, who sit second in Division One South East, stunned third-tier outfit Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium. Billericay came close to making it two fourth-tier teams in the last 16 but, having held Championship outfit Lewes 1-1 after extra time, they lost the penalty shootout 5-4 as Zoe Rushen's spot-kick hit the post. There may yet be another fourth-tier side in the hat as eight-time Cup winners Southampton FC await an FA ruling over their abandoned game with Championship side Crystal Palace.
Bournemouth won the reverse fixture 3-1 earlier in the campaign but Southampton will be confident about getting revenge for a number of reasons. Their away form is much, much better than their home form. Only one team in the division has a worse home record and that's already-relegated Norwich. Away from home, Southampton have the fifth-best record in the league and they're unbeaten in four games, the last of which was a draw at Old Trafford.
We should be better at seeing those games into wins. As it happened: Man Utd 2-2 Aston VillaNo improvement from United Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester United 2-2 Aston Villa: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his team have to be better Seven days ago, Solskjaer said he could have replaced all 10 outfield players after an especially dismal first half at Sheffield United. The general feeling in the media room - from journalists, former players and staff alike - was that their performance before the break here had been no better.
However, on the pitch the side have stayed pretty resolute and they come into this match undefeated in their last nine home matches. Although the league table is not exactly pretty for them, they will be delighted to have a five point lead and a game in hand over the side in the solitary relegation spot. If the Silkmen are to accomplish their goal and retain their spot in the Football League for next season, then they are going to have to ensure a defence which has seen them concede just 26 times this season remains on song for the remainder of the campaign.
Jack Grealish has scored two goals in his last three games, while Trezeguet has netted in three of his last five. But the Blades have only lost one of their last 10 games, and defender George Baldock could be an option after he provided an assist and a goal in last weekend's victory over Norwich. Other things to considerBurnley have lost just one of their last six home league meetings with Newcastle, and between them, Ashley Barnes (15) and Chris Wood (14) have scored 62% of Clarets' Premier League goals in 2019.
Those comments were echoed by Jenas and Comolli, who have called on the biggest clubs in England to support lower-league clubs during this uncertain period. The Premier League earns so much money, they should find a way to get through this difficult period, but if you go down the leagues there are some clubs who probably could not survive six months," said Jenas. They would probably vanish and that is where the big responsibility lies.
Ascoli are one of the worst scoring home teams in the league with 19 goals in the 12 games so far. In 4 of the last 5 home games they scored 1 or no goals. But they are also conceding an average of under the 1 goal at home this season.
Hertha captain Niklas Stark said officials merely took note of the incident. Torunarigha was sent off after picking up a case of drinks and slamming it down, a reaction his team mates blamed on his emotional state after the insults. The German federation later confirmed that monkey noises had come from the crowd and fined Schalke 50,000 euros ($56,000).
Even though they face Olympiakos in the Europa League last-16 in the next two weeks, their next four Premier League games are against relegation-threatened Brighton (H), West Ham (A), Bournemouth (H) and Aston Villa (A). While those four sides are fighting for their lives at the bottom, Wolves are only three points off a Champions League spot meaning Nuno's side still have plenty to fight for. Who should you be looking to bring in? Well, if you want a striker Diogo Jota is in red hot form after scoring six goals in his last four games in all competitions.
The home team seems to be slightly favorite in this tight game vs Estudiantes: San Lorenzo has lost the last official game in Torneo del Verano vs Talleres Cordoba, but they had stayed unbeaten in the previous 4 in a row, winning 3 times and conceding no goal in all of those 3 matches. Estudiantes has instead been much less consistent than them in the last weeks, having collected 2 draws and a win in the last 3 games. San Lorenzo can count on a much better attack than Estudiantes, having scored 7 goals more than them, so they could win even conceding a goal.
This result paired with their 4-0 drubbing of Nîmes last week has got the momentum back on Lyon's side and they'll be looking to take that into this clash with Rennes. They've now lost just one of their last four matches and sit within three points of third. Les Gones' home form has been a particularly contributive factor to their recent success as they've won three of their last five matches at the Groupama with their aforementioned draw with Leipzig thrown in there for good measure. Les Gones have scored nine goals and conceded five in that time.
Unai Emery says Granit Xhaka could return to the Arsenal team against Southampton on Saturday, despite recently claiming he was unsure if he would play for the club again. Xhaka, 27, was stripped of the captaincy following his angry confrontation with Gunners fans in a game against Crystal Palace last month. The midfielder has not featured in Arsenal's last four games but boss Emery feels he is now ready to return.
That prediction leads into our correct score selection which sees us predicting Adelaide will run out 3-0 winners and continue their fantastic form. They should have enough power defensively to keep a clean sheet and with their front line looking more and more potent, a 3-0 scoreline for the home side looks real value at 11/1.
He will be a hands-on owner, providing input on everything from player selection to shower tiles. The club has ambitions not to just be an MLS powerhouse but a global brand much like Beckham himself. When you talk about hands on there is no bigger hands on owners than you are looking at right now," said Beckham, sitting alongside Mas.
There isn’t a clear winner coming into the game though and we’d be hard pushed to pick an outright winner. A draw looks quite likely and with the two sides both hoping to focus on their defensive stability a 1-1 result looks the most likely between two of the most evenly matched sides in the league.

Colchester have already eliminated two Premier League teams in the 2019-20 EFL Cup - Crystal Palace in the second round and Spurs in the third round. Only one fourth-tier team has eliminated three in one season, with Bradford City doing so in 2012-13 on their way to the final (Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa). Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has progressed from all four of his EFL Cup ties as a manager - two with Cardiff City in 2014-15 and two with Manchester United this season.
Sampdoria are coming into this clash as the favourites, with those numbers likely factoring into that decision. After all, the hosts have been improving here of late. Sampdoria are unbeaten in their last four league matches at the Ferraris (W1 D3) and could avoid the defeat in five such games in a row for the first time since February 2018. Their only defeats at home this term have come against two of the current top three. However, will Parma really disappoint on the road?
Musa Barrow missed a first-half penalty for Atalanta, awarded following a handball by Sami Khedira, and Juventus keeper Wojciech Szczesny was forced into a good save by Mario Pasalic as the hosts threatened to take a surprise lead. Gosens eventually did just that, heading Atalanta ahead from Barrow's cross after 56 minutes - but Higuain's deflected goal sparked Juventus into life. The Argentine made no mistake when picked out by Juan Cuadrado eight minutes from time, and Higuain turned provider as his compatriot Dybala weaved through the hosts' defence for his side's third.
That came after Scott Allan's penalty was saved by the on-loan goalkeeper. But Aaron Taylor-Sinclair got a slight touch on Steve Lawless' cross to equalise just six minutes later. Despite being held, Hibs are now unbeaten in 11 league games at Easter Road, while Gary Holt's side claimed just their 11th away point of the season.
