Brentford have won six of their last eight Championship games (L2) – no side has won more over this period in the competition.

Roma defender Chris Smalling still hopes he can make England's Euro 2020 squad despite not playing for Gareth Southgate's team since 2017.

The centre-back also said his family feels settled in Rome and suggested he wants to stay in Italy next season.

Newcastle United have played five FA Cup matches this season, two more than City because of replays against lower division teams. They will hope to get it right at the first time of asking here. They are unbeaten in five FA Cup games obviously and they meet a City side unbeaten in nine and looking to defend their title. One factor standing out though, is the high scoring nature of the two sides’ recent matches as well as their recent meetings. Coming from a defeat to Chelsea in the league, City will want to give a response here, but Newcastle have had a good run lately and will not make it easy. We expect an attacking game here and banking on this to produce over 2.5 goals looks good.

in this match it is clear which team should be the winner and that is of course Sparta,Sparta is in great form and after 3 wins in a row I expect from them to destroy weak Opava team and by that I mean at least 4 scored goals for Sparta,their offense at home is great and on the other side I don't think Opava is going to be able to score a goal tonight, surely I decided to risk a lot with this handicap but still I want to secure myself a little bit and I will go with 3.0 cause 3-0 could be final result
I really see plenty of goals in this match from Germany Bundesliga and that is for me very real option. So, Eintracht is team who is in last few weeks played very efficient but in the same time, they are had a lot of problems and team is receive a lot of goals in that period. In last round, they are beat Hoffenheim, but this time it will not be easy. Guests are very strong team who is bring Dany Olmo in meantime from Dinamo Zagreb.

They (City) play at a fantastic level, it's a great opportunity for us to show our level," Rodgers told a news conference on Friday.

UEFA can take a crumb of comfort from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar being scheduled for winter, freeing up the possibility of a summer event in 2022.
