Market: Bristol Rovers to score over 0.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @

Looking to lay down what would be a real marker at the Valley on Saturday afternoon, Bristol Rovers will make the trip to a struggling Charlton.

Starting with the hosts, while Charlton might have opened the 2022/23 campaign with their sights set on mounting a play-off charge, the Addicks are enduring what is a woeful League One run. Parting ways with Ben Garner earlier in the month and with some in their camp potentially looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, the Londoners are now in the midst of a six-match winless run. Last seen putting in a nightmare display while on FA Cup duties as they suffered a 3-1 drumming at the hands of fourth-tier outfit Stockport, Charlton have also gained a reputatio…

Adrian has decided to stay at Liverpool, according to . The Spanish goalkeeper is out of contact at the former Premier League champions this summer, but he is close to agreeing terms on a contract extension at Anfield.

The 34-year-old has been on the books of Liverpool since 2019 when he joined on a free transfer after leaving West Ham United. The Spaniard is the back-up goalkeeper to Alisson, who is one of the best custodians on the planet and is a world-class player.

Adrian is a good back-up to have, and the 34-year-old reportedly staying at Anfield means that Liverpool do not have pay any transfer fee to bring in a back-up. Alisson is not going to be dislodged from his position anytime soon, and there is no point in Liverpool spending a lot of money to bring in a pla…

Portugal coach Fernando Santos was left frustrated by a lack of creativity and explosiveness as his side drew 0-0 with France in the Nations League on Sunday.

In front of a home crowd of around 1,000 socially distanced fans at the Stade de France, a host of European football s elite stars were on display in a generally entertaining encounter.

But despite all of the attacking talent on show, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, the match failed to yield a goal, with France unable to claim revenge in the two teams first meeting since Portugal s triumph in the Euro 2016 final.

Although Portugal came away with a commendable point, Santos seemed a little underwhelmed, as if he was expecting more of a spectacle.

He said: It was a very balanced game b…

Barnsley have confirmed the signing of Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old made 16 first-team appearances during his time at the Emirates Stadium and had spells on loan at Wolves, Charlton Athletic and Fulham.

Despite playing a key role in Arsenal s successful 2009 FA Youth Cup campaign, Frimpong found opportunities hard to come by and will hope his move to Oakwell will afford him more game time.

Born in Ghana, Frimpong has been capped once by his country, featuring in a FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan in March 2013.

Barnsley currently sit 23rd in the Championship and Frimpong is determined to help keep the club in the second tier.

I m really excited to be here, Frimpong told the club s official website. Ever…

From the moment he was appointed Manchester United boss, it was clear Louis van Gaal would be doing things differently to his predecessor.

His first words told their own story: This club has big ambitions; I too have big ambitions. Together I m sure we will make history.

It was a bold declaration, one that was a welcome move away from the usual media speak that accompanies such statements.

Most striking, though, was how greatly Van Gaal s words differed from those often uttered by the beleaguered some would say hapless man he replaced.

Indeed, when David Moyes first spoke to the press upon his introduction, he had this to say: I’m inexperienced in a lot of things and there were some brilliant managers who could have quite easily taken this role but the…

Graham Potter says Reece James is in a good place again after the brutal experience of missing England s World Cup campaign.

Full-back James was left out of Gareth Southgate s 26-man squad for Qatar 2022, where England lost to France in the quarter-finals, due to a knee injury.

The 23-year-old has not played since sustaining the injury against Milan on October 11, but he returned to training at the start of December.

Potter acknowledged it has been a difficult period for James, who is set to feature against Bournemouth on Tuesday as Chelsea make their return to Premier League action.

It was a World Cup and they come around every four years. So when you’re young, the perspective is not so easy to get, Potter said.

You are young and you want to …

Spain head coach Julen Lopetegui is a self-confessed English football obsessive who hopes to make his mark at Wembley on Tuesday.

Former Porto boss Lopetegui has enjoyed a successful start to his reign with the national team, earning 10 points from four World Cup qualifiers following a 2-0 friendly win over Belgium on debut.

The 2010 world champions face another tricky non-competitive task on the road this week against an England side who boast an identical record in qualification, having dispatched Scotland 3-0 on Friday.

Spain were 4-0 winners over Macedonia 24 hours later and Lopetegui is relishing a match against a nation whose football culture fascinates him, despite their recent woeful form at major tournaments.

It s an honour for us to come here a…

Newcastle United winger Jonas Gutierrez revealed on Monday that he has been given the all-clear after receiving cancer treatment.

Gutierrez shocked the football world in September when he announced he was undergoing treatment for testicular cancer in his native Argentina.

The 31-year-old had his left testicle removed as a result.

But Gutierrez announced via Twitter that he has been released from hospital.

Today I was given a medical discharge. Thank you very much to all who accompanied me at this time, especially my family, my parents, brothers, godmother and friends, he posted.

Newcastle also used Twitter to show their support for the Argentinean.

The Premier League club posted: Everyone at #NUFC is delighted to share the news that @elg…

Southampton manager Ronald Koeman is adamant that he will be able to keep hold of midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin this January, .

The France international has been constantly linked with a move away from St Mary’s since not being allowed to leave in the summer, like so many of his former teammates did.

North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are both keen to secure the services of the 25 year old, but his manager is certain that the club will not sell any of their players when the transfer window reopens.

Schneiderlin, who signed for Saints in the summer of 2008, has made fifteen appearances in all competitions so far this season, scoring three times.

He has been capped for his country seven times, having made his international debut in an…
