The team of Inverness enters with a good status in this game after the last outright home win over Dundee (4-1) and over Hibernian (3-0). Overall the team is unbeaten in 13 of 14 games in the league. Maybe that's why coach Terry Butcher relies on unchanged squad for this match.
Marseille meet at its stadium the team of Saint-Etienne hoping to improve their performance in their home matches and not fall behind the main pretendets for the title - Lyon and PSG. Possible loss of points in this game can get Marseille, who are currently third in the league, away from the leaders.
Reviewing the list of injured and suspended players in the Premier League, it is clear that for the home team there is a bunch of key players missing in this match. This is definitely a serious problem for the manager Sam Allardyce who does not have many options for that game. The guests also have quite a few problems with key players injured.
Southampton team will come out as the favorite in a match of the Premier League for the first time this season. The hosts are already a bit far from the relegation zone and even have a game in hand. Victory in this game can pull up Southampton up to three positions in the table and no doubt the team will strive for the three pointd. Their opponent in this game has just one point more in the standings and this makes them a direct competitor in the battle to stay in the league.
Dear forebet.com users, our team is pleased to present to you the new section of the site - "A list of injured and suspended players".
The list will be maintained for the top leagues of England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy. You will find the current status of the players who have injuries.
The team of Werder Bremen faces a match of the 17th round of the Bundesliga against a poor performing in away games team of Nürnberg. Only two points separates these two teams in the standings and definitely the hosts
will try to achieve a clear win in this match. So far Werder showed no consistency, alternating wins and losses. After a convincing victory over Hoffenheim with 1:4 as a guest, in the next round they lost
to Eintracht with the same result. As far as Nuremberg are concerned, recently they are not performing well in their away matches as the team lost five of their last six away games.
This Andalusian derby will undoubtedly offer a lot of emotions and great delight to the football fans. Sevilla started very well in the league, but lately their good level of play has declined
which resulted in the loss of some valuable points. Three losses, two draws and a win is the total for the hosts of their last 6 games. However, the team had some major players injured, which are now
fit and ready to play. The team`s top goalscorer, Alvaro Negredo will take part in this meeting, which will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of the team`s attack. With such a prominent scorer, Sevilla
have their chances against the strong team of Malaga.
Both teams enter this match after disappointing losses last round and in a great needed of the win. This Monday, the team of Newcastle failed to consolidate their victory over Wigan - the only victory in their last 10 games, losing in their visit against Fulham. Manchester City were rather unlucky in the match against United, which is no longer just the Manchester derby, but a direct confrontation for the title. City are 6 points behind from their rivals and the three points in this meeting are of great importance for them. Moreover, knowing that Manchester United have a relatively easy match this round. For Newcastle, however, a possible loss will mean that the team will be very close to the relegation zone as at the moment the team is only two points above the 18th place.
Once again we will have the opportunity to observe Berbatov`s great style of play. Undoubtedly, he is the hearth of the team and it is not a secret that everything more complicated and sophisticated in the game of
Fulham is created by Dimitar Berbatov. With the return of Hangeland, Berbatov might be more focused on the attack of the team rather than playing as a number 10 would.
The win over Toulouse in this match will bring Lille at the first half of the table. After the disappointing last four games of Lille (2 losses and 2 draws), the match against Toulouse is an ideal
opportunity for the players to achieve a decent result and regain their self-esteem. Salomon Kalou returns for the hosts after missing the trip to Sochaux.
The Premier League is a league of some quite intriguing dependencies. Unfortunately one of them are the boring games between these two teams. In the last six meetings between Aston Villa and Stoke there have been only eight
goals. Furthermore, 5 of their last 7 matches ended in a draw. Aston Villa only recently managed to get out of the relegation zone and each point is of high importance for them. It is rather unlikely that they will start
agressively in this game. The host would rather prefer to play more cautiously in order not to lose the match.
Arsene Wenger's team is in dire need of the three points in this game, as in their last 6 matches in the Premier League they have only one victory. Arsenal occupies the tenth position in the standings at the moment and in this match they
face a direct opponent for the first six. The home loss in the last round against Swansea was a big surprise for Arsenal fans, who were expecting a clear win. During the week, Wenger rested
most of his key players and now a better performance from the team is expected.
The problems with injured players for Alan Pardew seem to have no end. Almost all major players in the squad have physical problems. Whether this is due to bad luck or poor physical condition remains a riddle.
The number of injuries, however, increases after every match of Newcastle and since they have secured qualifying for the next stage of the tournament, maybe Alan Pardew will not risk in this game. However, this match
should not be underestimated, because it will determine the winner of the group as Bordeaux have 10 points and Newcastle 9.
Shakhtar Donetsk have already qualified to the next stage of the tournament, but the situation in the group is still relatively delicate. If the outcome of this game is a draw, Juventus will finish second and the current
champions will have to say goodbye to the Champions League. Furthermore, if the guests win this match, they will replace Shakhtar in the first position and enjoy the advantage of winning the group.
However, after the fabulous performance of the hosts in this severe group, it is unlikely that they will hand out the first place easily. Rafa Benitez is certanly hoping for Shakhtar to win, which will give Chelsea the opportunity to
take the second place in the group. The Champions League is a specialty of Rafa Benitez and after the poor results in the Premier League, the strongest tournament in the world remains a great option for Londoners to please their supporters.
Borussia have secured the first place in the group and Real the second. The only question in Group D is, which team will occupy the third position giving the right to participate in the Europa League. Manchester City is behind only one point the third-placed Ajax and victory in this visit is a must for the team. It would be rather interesting to see Mancini's team approach in this game, because some experts suggest that the manager prefers to leave the League in order to concentrate solely on the Premiership.
Udinese did not manage to win a single game out of their last 5 league matches. Furthermore, the team have lost their last two Europa League games. After the poor results Udinese gradually droped
in the table and are now just five points from the 18th Siena. Coach Francesco Guidolin is facing one of the most difficult
times leading the team as once again he won`t be able to rely on 6th players, which are injured. These are Luis Muriel, Giampiero Pinzi, Andrea Lazzari, Maurizio Domizzi, Mehdi Benatia and
Dusan Basta.
Manchester City have won 29 of their last 31 home games in the Premiership. Mancini's players are devastating most of their opponents, while playing at home.
In turn, Everton are unbeaten in 21 of their last 23 league games. However, there have been a lot of draw matches for Everton as 4 out of their last 6 games have resulted in draws.
For the past decade, the derby for Madrid have never seemed so challenging and unpredictable than the one this Saturday. The guests from Atletico Madrid do not have a single win in the last 20
matches against Real Madrid in La Liga. Back in 1999 was the last victory for Atletico Madrid. Perhaps the time for the "Rojiblancos" to triumph has come as the amazing Radamel Falcao leads their attack.
The current form of Atletico is probably the best in recent years. The ranking in La Liga is eloquent enough as Atletico are at the second place with 8 points ahead of Real Madrid and by only 3 behind the leader Barcelona.
The fight in the Premiership for Liverpool continues with a home game agaist a team that won 8 points of their last 4 matches(2 wins;2 draws). For Liverpool, however, the statistics are not so promissing as the team have
won only once in their last 6 games. If Southampton takes the three points from this match, this will put them just one point behind Liverpool. Both teams have not met since 2005 as 3 of their last 4 matches agains each other
have resulted in a Southampton win.
Newcastle's long injury list is the main reason for them to lose their last 3 games in a row. This losing streak and the inability to score goals have seen the team drop down the table
and leaves them in desperate need of a win. The poor performance of Newcastle have resulted in them droping down to the
14th place in the table and qualifying for the Europa League will be merely impossible, if they lose once again. There are five key players injured in the Newcastle squad - Yohan Cabaye, Hatem Ben Arfa,
Haris Vuckic, James Perch, Dan Gosling. Furthermore, Gabriel Obertan, Shola Ameobi and Ryan Taylor are doubtful to take part in this match.
