Darren Ferguson's men have scored just one goal in their last three matches and have failed to find the net in each of their last two. Given the quality in their ranks, such a blip is almost certainly temporary, but such a lack of goals is slightly worrying. Fortunately, for the most part, Peterborough have defended quite well. They've kept a clean sheet in three of their last five, while they shut out at a useful Bristol Rovers side when last involved on the road.
Hutton won the League Cup less than a month into his three-year stay at White Hart Lane and moved to Villa in 2011.

Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet says the club must make a signing in the January transfer window to avoid "going backwards", but warned the Blues must also be careful to not upset their promising youngsters.

The transfer window will be very important," said Poyet.

But for the excellence of Evans - particularly in the first period - they could have be punished on at least five occasions. The former Manchester United and West Brom defender made a series of excellent tackles and interceptions, with his only blot misdirecting a late chance to win the game. However, the Foxes still have a considerable cushion to Chelsea, with the teams below that even further away from threatening their place in next season's Champions League.
Definitely, maybe. The amateur plane spotter in all of us surfaces as a private jet sets flight northbound from Paris. It’s heading towards Gatwick, it’s taken a sharp turn towards Heathrow, but now wait, it’s going straight to Luton. What a coup for the League One club. As it happens, the jet belongs to a wealthy couple heading to watch Five Finger Death Punch at Wembley on Friday night, and so the Cavani mystery continues.
Sheffield stopped playing when a linesman's flag indicated Andy Carroll was offside in the buildup to Newcastle's second goal as Jonjo Shelvey ran through to put the ball in the net.

And even better, somewhere in northern Italy, a bronzed man doing his 2,000th sit-up of the day is absolutely fuming, something we can all get behind and enjoy. West Ham offer entirely inadequate response to homophobia As anyone who attends Chelsea games even semi-regularly will know, they are routinely subjected to homophobic chants from opposition fans.

Aris is certainly the best team in Europe and maybe in the world if you only watch home games in the last year. During that period, they won all their matches except against today's rival. That is certainly a good motive for them today. Aris will probably return to the first division if they win today so this is a very important match for them. Ayia Napa does not have a single win on this pitch. They have played 4 times in this field and only once went undefeated.

Later in the game, the Leeds defender is seen prowling following another heavy challenge, fists clenched and ready for battle. For many, this is the indelible image of Hunter on the pitch, but one that does a huge disservice to a player with silk to match the steel, who won 28 England caps and was part of the 1966 World Cup winning squad aged 22. It was certainly not representative of the man - a warm, generous and beloved figure, the death of whom on 17 April was deeply felt not just at Leeds but across the football world.
There are serious concerns for a Bristol City side who have failed to win 62% of their home games so far. Even with history backing them up, there are concerns that the hosts will drop more points.

Anything that could go wrong would, the theory went, because 'We are Wolves, Ay We'. Financially, the club budgeted expecting the worst. In the Championship, that was for just outside the play-offs. It created a mindset where eighth was regarded as acceptable when, in truth, it wasn't for a club whose supporters had grown up with tales of the 1950s, of titles, FA Cups and Honved. There was some scepticism internally when Fosun introduced buzzwords - progressive, determined, humble, unity, bright - and Shi spoke of Wolves becoming one of the world's top clubs.

Union Saint-Gilloise will host Kortrijk for the Cup. In my opinion, the hosts have a real chance to get a positive result. I expect, they to dominate in this game. St. Gilloise is team of the Ligue 2. However, St. Gilloise is better team in their league. Also, St. Gilloise is really better team at home. Also, we have Kortrijk who's is one of the teams of Jupiler League. However, they have a very difficult task in their league. They are in danger of getting relegated.

I expect, this will be tense match. My pick - Ruh Brest to win.
West Brom boss Slaven Bilic described being top of the Championship at Christmas as "great, but a big obligation" after his side moved three points clear following a 1-1 draw with Brentford. The Baggies stretched their unbeaten run to 13 games, but had to settle for a point at The Hawthorns after an enterprising first-half showing by the Bees. The visitors were rewarded when Henrik Dalsgaard put them ahead with a glancing header from Mathias Jensen's corner, but full-back Darnell Furlong equalised in similar fashion in added time.
On the evidence of Thursday's performance, he has a big job. Spurs have invested in a new stadium, world-class infrastructure and a high-profile manager but look to be lacking on the pitch compared with their Champions League-chasing rivals. Chairman Daniel Levy will not want to contemplate an extended absence from Europe's elite competition and will be expecting Mourinho to rediscover some of the magic that saw him win three Premier League titles to make sure that does not happen.
December's 0-0 El Clasico stalemate at Camp Nou was a decent result for Real Madrid, however, further draws against Valencia (1-1) and Athletic Bilbao (0-0) on the run up to Christmas mean Los Blancos are now playing catch-up with arch-rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
