Walter Mazzarri Set To Shuffle Watford Pack For Fa Cup Clash With Millwall

... for FA Cup clash with Millwall. Walter Mazzarri expects a raucous environment when Watford heads to the New Den to take on Millwall in the FA Cup. Watford manager Walter Mazzarri will not be afraid to ring the changes ahead of his side's potential banana skin of an FA Cup tie at Millwall on Sunday. The Hornets head to the Den to take on the Lions, 10 th in League One, as they embark on a run of three pivotal matches inside six days with a trip to Arsenal on Tuesday before West Brom travel to Vicarage Road on Saturday.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe elected to make 11 changes to his side, but Mazzarri, whose Watford team have slumped to 14 th in the table following a winless streak which now stands at seven matches, suggested that the magic of FA Cup may have to take a back seat.

10 Things To Look Out For This Weekend

... inclusion on the bench for the last match, a 3-0 defeat at Southampton. A return to action would be intriguing and perhaps even solve a major Leicester problem, especially if they do not sign another centre-back before the and of this month. On a similar note, and returning to the midfield shuffle, Bartosz Kapustka got six whole minutes against Everton – it would be good to get another glimpse of the gifted young Pole some time soon. PD. Ranieri shoulders blame as Southampton add to Leicester misery. 4) Rochdale have another Yorkshire scalp in sight. With Huddersfield having sold all 3,500 tickets allocated to them, Spotland is likely to have its biggest crowd of the season for this Lancashire-Yorkshire clash, with home supporters hopeful of witnessing something similar to their impressive toppling of Leeds United in 2014. That could create exactly the right mood to uplift Keith Hill’s side, whose promotion challenge in League One has been dented recently by injuries and loss of form. David Wagner, meanwhile, is likely to make several ...

Sutton United's Fa Cup Giantkillers Stare At Glass Ceiling Ahead Of Leeds Tie

... do; repay some of the loan, put some money away for a rainy day and use the rest to do some of the little jobs that need doing around the place that never seem to be top of the list because there is never enough money to do them. “We’ve got no security, as such, we lease the ground from the local council, so we couldn’t borrow that sort of money from the bank. “It was Paul’s idea to consider a 3 G pitch and once we had decided that was the route we wanted to take, he said he would loan us the money over a 10-year period. “It is a remarkable thing for a manager to do, but he is a remarkable person. He is unique, that’s the word I always use. “He is a one-off. He doesn’t get paid by the club, he travels from Winchester at his own expense for every training session and game, he is a special person and we owe him a lot more than a new pitch. There aren’t many around like him.”. There are not many clubs around like ...

Lincoln, Wolves & Oxford Headline Day Of Fourth-round Upsets

... at White Hart Lane. The fourth-round action led BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks to proclaim the FA Cup "alive and well". "It was a magnificent day with some wonderful performances," he said. "Wycombe were sensational, as were Lincoln.". Lincoln are only the third non-league team to reach the FA Cup fifth round since the turn of the century, after Crawley Town in 2010-11 and Luton Town in 2012-13. Media playback is not supported on this device. Highlights: Lincoln 3-1 Brighton. The last time Lincoln reached the last 16 of the FA Cup was in the 1901-02 season, a run that featured a victory over a cash-strapped team from the north-west of England named Newton Heath, who within weeks would be issued with a winding-up order before being saved and renamed Manchester United in April 1902. I can't ...

Southampton 0-5 Arsenal

... with a proper drubbing. Walcott delivered a hat-trick of the highest quality, Oxlade-Chamberlain excelled and a range of young’uns – from Reine-Adelaide to Holding – showed they have plenty about them. Which would all have made encouraging viewing for Arsène Wenger from his naughty step in the stand. Claude Puel won’t have enjoyed it at all, and Southampton need to regroup, pep up their league form a little and prepare for Wembley. You wouldn’t bet against Arsenal also ending up there too in May, on today’s evidence. Anyway, that’s all from us. Thanks for your company and emails. Bye. Full-time: Southampton 0-5 Arsenal. And that’s yer lot. A smooth, stylish demolition job from Arsenal then against a Southampton side who don’t have the resources to reshuffle effectively the way Wenger can. Arsenal’s hat-trick hero Theo Walcott applauds the travelling fans as he holds onto the match ball. Photograph: Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images. 90 mins: We’ll have a trifling two minutes added on. No point in adding any more I guess. 89 mins: Perez nearly makes it six, bearing down on goal in a one-on-one from a long perceptive ball ...

Wes Morgan’s Late Header Rescues Leicester And Denies Derby Fa Cup Scalp

... and elimination from the FA Cup at the hands of their Championship neighbours, Leicester salvaged a draw when Wes Morgan headed home four minutes from time. It was a captain’s goal in every sense, crucial in the context of this tie and vital in terms of the relief it provided to a team that are badly in need of an injection of confidence. Racking up 40 points in the Premier League is the priority, yet it would have been a bitter blow to Leicester’s fragile self-belief if they were to find themselves travelling to Burnley on Tuesday on the back of defeat here. Brentford’s blue-sky thinking faces another test at Chelsea in FA Cup. Read more. Steve Mc Claren was probably right when he said that neither manager wanted a replay, but Ranieri was quick to make the point that negotiating another fixture was a far more welcome outcome than the one that Leicester were looking at before Morgan intervened. “It would have been more stressful to lose tonight,” Leicester’s manager said. Although Leicester’s equaliser arrived late, it was no more than the Premier League side deserved after dominating the second half in a lively and entertaining Cup tie. The frustration ...

Oxford United Cruise Past Newcastle Into Fifth Round

... the Oxford goalkeeper, Simon Eastwood, diving to his right. Newcastle, who have not reached the fifth round since 2006, were punished when the Oxford centre-half Curtis Nelson made it 2-0 on 79 minutes, firmly heading home Rob Hall’s corner at the back post. And the 19-year-old Spanish striker Toni Martínez added a third, on his debut, with a well-placed looping header three minutes from time. Dissent was in the air at Ewood Park where many Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool fans boycotted their fourth-round tie, many protesting against their respective club owners instead in the stadium car park, from where tennis balls were thrown into the ground at one stage in the first half. On the pitch, however, Blackburn won comfortably 2-0 in front of a sparse crowd of 9,327. It made it a disappointing return to Blackburn for their former manager Gary Bowyer, now in charge of their League Two visitors. Rovers, who sacked ...

Mauricio Pochettino Hails 'fa Cup Magic' After Tottenham Victory Over Wycombe

... said. "I think it is the most special in the world because you cannot replicate it in Spain or France or Italy, the same passion, the same on the pitch, the way a small side from League Two like Wycombe can be exciting. "They believed they could beat us here and that is an important thing. The FA Cup creates that feeling and that is fantastic.". Vincent Janssen scores from the penalty spot in the second half at White Hart Lane. Pochettino insisted his side did not underestimate Wycombe, who raced into a two-goal half-time lead thanks to Paul Hayes' double, and the Spurs boss instead paid tribute to his opponents. "Full credit to Wycombe for how they played in the first half," he added. "They were better than us. From the first moment they played well. "They had a clear way to play but we never underestimate our opponent. They were solid and they played better ...
