But evidently, City have not forgotten and reflecting on his side's FA Cup semi-final defeat by the Gunners on Saturday, Guardiola said: "Opponents always deserve my respect and credit. I have all the respect for what Arsenal are on the pitch, not much off the pitch - but on the pitch, a lot. City were irritated by Arsenal's conduct earlier in the season when the Gunners approached Mikel Arteta to take the manager's job following the dismissal of Unai Emery.

Given their standing in the division and the fact that they're one of the big boys, Ipswich will undoubtedly be a popular betting choice this weekend, though at the current prices, they look a tad short, particularly since they're up against a sturdy Blackpool team that is anything but easy to score against let alone beat.
On Saturday they face Wigan in the FA Cup third round, followed four days later by the home first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final with Aston Villa.

Igahlo left Watford in 2017 to join Changchun Yatai in the Chinese Super League, and in 2019 he made a move to Shanghai Shenhua in the same division.

Getafe punched well above their weight to secure 5th last term and only narrowly missed out on Champions League qualification. They had a sticky start to the new campaign with just one win landed in their first seven games; however they have gone from strength to strength since the end of September.
In a clash between two sides who are out of form and displaying a severe lack of confidence, it appears as though goals may be at a premium. The hosts have lost five of their last six league matches and are not exactly among the top scorers in the division. Meanwhile, their hosts frequently fail to score, are in no sort of form at all and are without a goal in their last four league matches. The choice seems easy in this one, and backing there to be less than 2.5 goals scored appears to be the way to go.

Ross Barkley came off the bench to send Chelsea to Wembley as manager Frank Lampard's half-time changes transformed this FA Cup quarter-final at Leicester City. The Foxes held sway in the first 45 minutes at the King Power Stadium, although it took a flying save from Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel to keep out Christian Pulisic's powerful drive. Lampard's discontent could be heard echoing around the virtually deserted arena - and he acted by introducing Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Cesar Azpilicueta at the interval for Reece James, the subdued Billy Gilmour and Mason Mount.

No need to sign up to anything too long term. Just in case. IN OTHER NEWS Poor Paulo Dybala. Could have had the move of his dreams to Manchester United. Instead he got stuck at little old Juventus, where he has to play alongside Gonzalo Higuain and score goals like this. RETRO CORNER A quite literal retro corner here: 17 years ago today, Graeme Le Saux pinged the ball into the Norwich City penalty area, and Gianfranco Zola backheeled it into the net.

Did you know? Dawson has scored two goals in five Premier League appearances since the June restart. He hadn't found the net in 20 league appearances for the Hornets this season beforehand. Egan: What a way to win a football match. A set-piece, a thundering header with no time for Wolves to respond. Two goals in as many games for John Egan took Sheffield United above Arsenal and Tottenham. If I was the chairman of either north London club I would be fuming considering the difference in wage bills compared with their Yorkshire rivals.

Crewe Alexandra is in fantastic shape and especially at home they are very strong so I surely expect from them to continue their great offensive run and to score at least two goals and on the other side I m very confident Crawley town will score at least one goal because they are team on the middle and they are without a win for 13 straight games on the road, of course it is hard to expect they could win tonight but still they will attack for that and that is why I decide to go with over goals, I think it is the best bet!

Friendly match between Kungsangen vs Lidingo. My bet is over 3.75 goals. Kungsangens coming from a 1 - 4 home loss to Kvarnsvedens and their last away game a 0 -6 loss to Sundbybergs. Away team coming from a win with a single goal and didn't concede in it could give them the upper hand but it was to a team below themselves. I think that this match will be very offensive, Both teams have very poor turnover and lose a lot of goals in each match. I think the guest team is the favorite to win this match and will win it 2: 4. I think there will be a lot of goals in this match.
