Liverpool v Crystal Palace – Preview, Lineups, Betting, TV Coverage

Liverpool and Crystal Palace will go head-to-head on the Gameweek 5 of the 2021/2022 Premier League season.

This game will be an interesting game for both teams. The last time these two sides met was last March where Ole Gunnar Solsjkaers side came out 1-0 victors. Man United also took 6 points from 6 from West Ham in the 2020/2021 season.

Liverpool Retrospective

The Reds are coming into this game after a 3-2 home win in their opening group stage game against AC Milan at Anfield on Wednesday night. In the league, their last game was a 0-3 away win against Leeds United placing them third in the table, only behind Chelsea and Manchester United on goal difference.

Crystal Palace Retrospective

Patrick Vieira’s Palace side are coming off their first win this season with an impressive 3-0 home victory over London rivals Tottenham at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

A double from Odsonne Edouard and a penalty from Wilfried Zaha was enough to see off Spurs and send them up the table to 11th. They now face a daunting task at Anfield.

Date, kick-off time and venue

This game between Liverpool and Crystal Palace will kick off at 3 pm BST (British Summer Time) on Saturday, September 18, 2021, at Anfield.

Where to watch Liverpool v Crystal Palace

The game will not be televised in the UK.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace team news

Harvey Elliott will be out until the latter stages of the season after the 18-year-old suffered a fracture-dislocation of the left joint following a challenge in the second half of Liverpool’s 3-0 win at Elland Road.

Roberto Firmino is still suffering from a thigh injury and has no set return date. Ruling him out for the time being, while Neco Williams is suffering from a foot injury.

Jeffrey Schlupp is still out with a thigh injury and has no return date, he will be ruled out for the foreseeable future.

While Eberechi Eze is suffering from lower leg problems and will be ruled out long-term.

Liverpool v Crystal Palace prediction

Palace looked good in their last outing against Tottenham and will have confidence coming into this game. A draw would be a great result for Vieira’s side but I can only see one result here. At Anfield, it will be more than difficult for Palace to cause an upset here.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-0

Predicted Line-Up

Liverpool XI – (4-3-3)

Alisson, A. Robertson, V. Van Dijk, J. Matip, T. Alexander-Arnold, T. Alcantara, Fabinho, J. Henderson, S. Mane, D. Jota, M. Salah.

Crystal Palace XI – (4-3-3)

V. Guaita, J. Ward, J. Andresen, M. Guehi, T. Mitchell, C. Gallagher, C. Kouyaté, J. McArthur, J. Ayew, C. Benteke, W. Zaha.

West Ham United v Manchester United – Preview, Lineups, Betting, TV Coverage

West Ham United v Manchester United will go head-to-head on the Gameweek 5 of the 2021/2022 Premier League season.

This game will be an interesting game for both teams. The last time these two sides met was last March where Ole Gunnar Solsjkaers side came out 1-0 victors. Man United also took 6 points from 6 from West Ham in the 2020/2021 season.

West Ham United Retrospective

In their last game, David Moye’s side was left frustrated with a 0-0 draw away to Southampton. The highlight of the game being Michail Antonio’s sending off in second-half injury time.

Although, they have continued on their hot form with 8 points from 12, remaining unbeaten so far.

Manchester United Retrospective

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is coming off a shock 2-1 loss to Young Boys in their opening group stage game in the Champions League. Leading at half-time, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was deservedly sent off for a potential ankle breaker. They eventually conceded in the final minute of injury time after a Jesse Lingard pass-back.

They come into this match top of the league, with their last match being a 4-1 home win over Newcastle United. With 10 points from 12. Scoring 11 and conceding 3, they look like early title contenders.

Date, kick-off time and venue

This game between West Ham United and Manchester United will kick off at 2 pm BST (British Summer Time) on Sunday, September 19, 2021, at The London Stadium.

Where to watch Manchester United v Newcastle United

The game will be televised on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.

West Ham United v Manchester United team news

The only injury and suspensions worries for West Ham are Winston Reid’s knee injury, with no return date announced.

In-form striker Michail Antonio will be out due to picking up a red card and will serve his one-game suspension here.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka will be available as his suspension is only for European Football. Edison Cavani is still out but may feature from the bench, Alex Telles is still a week or so out from an ankle injury.

While Scott McTominay will be observed from a hip injury.

West Ham United v Manchester United prediction

It should be a tight and cagey game, with both teams playing well this season, attacking well and defending adequately.

While West Ham is at home and have shown a resilient side to them when playing at The London Stadium, I believe Manchester United will prove too strong here.

Without their main goal threat in Michail Antonio, where will the goals come from? With Ronaldo and Bruno linking up well, they should have too much firepower for West Ham to control.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-3

Predicted Line-Up

West Ham United XI – (4-2-3-1)

L. Fabianski, A. Cresswell, A. Ogbonna, K. Zouma, V. Coufal, D. Rice, T. Soucek, P. Fornals, S. Benrahma, J. Bowen, A. Yarmolenko

Manchester United XI – (4-2-3-1)

D, Gea, L. Shaw, H. Maguire, R. Varane, A. Wan-Bissaka, S. McTominay, Fred, P. Pogba, B. Fernandes, J. Sancho, C. Ronaldo

Ulster Announce Duane Vermeulen Signing

Ulster Rugby have announced the signing of World Cup-winning Springbok Duane Vermeulen, who will join the Irish province after the Autumn Tests in November.

Number eight Vermeulen, nicknamed Thor, has signed a two-year contract with Ulster that will keep him in the province until 2023.

The 35-year-old brings with him experience gained in both Super Rugby and the Top 14, as well as internationals, and will join the United Rugby Championship in November once he has completed international duties during the Autumn Tests.

In 2019, Vermeulen was crowned Player of the Match as South Africa stormed their way to World Cup victory, lifting the Webb Ellis trophy.

Head Coach, Dan McFarland, said: “Duane is clearly a world-class player who, as the current World Champions’ starting 8 and MVP from the last RWC Final, is set to bring depth and experience to our really talented group of back rowers.

“As well as being an undeniable talent on the pitch, I know Duane will play an important role going forward in strengthening the winning mindset we are building as a squad.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise Bryn Cunningham’s brilliant work in orchestrating this deal from start to finish. It was always going to be a difficult ask to find a difference-making 8 but Bryn has definitely achieved that.”

Duane Vermeulen added: “Ulster and myself had detailed discussions about the club’s values, expectations and the potential role I can play going forward. It appealed and resonated with me to a point where I got very excited and decided to commit myself to this Ulster journey. I cannot wait to become part of the Ulster family and to serve as best I can.”

Ulster Rugby has been actively seeking a world-class addition to the squad following the planned deal with Leone Nakarawa falling through in June.

IRFU To Review Donnybrook Changing Room Incident

The IRFU have confirmed that it has begun a review into the conditions the Connacht and Ulster squads had to experience during their 2021 Women’s Interprovincial Championship game.

The union had previously released an apology alongside Leinster Rugby after a Connacht player brought the ‘changing room’ conditions in Donnybrook to light via social media.

The Connacht women’s team were forced to change in a run-down area behind Energia Park for their third-place play-off with Ulster.

Last night the IRFU said it was “appalled this situation arose and have already commenced a review of the circumstances that led to the clearly unacceptable location of players temporary changing facilities, at Energia Park last Saturday.

“We have sought reports from Leinster and Connacht to establish how this situation could have occurred, why it was not identified as an issue and rectified in the hours before the players arrived.”

Connacht players had noted their disappointment with how they were treated in a statement released on Wednesday.

The statement reads: “We are very disappointed and upset by the facilities that were provided for us to change both pre and post-match and for our post-match meal. The location was not suitable for the purpose.

“We pride ourselves on representing Connacht Rugby in a professional manner both on and off the pitch. We did our best to perform on the day, despite this situation, but these circumstances were far from the standards we would expect for this level of our sport.

“We acknowledge the apology issued by the IRFU and Leinster Rugby earlier this week. We sincerely hope that something like this will never happen again, for any team.

“We would request that a review of the decision-making process which led to these circumstances be conducted and our hope is that more thought will go into decisions like this for the women’s game in the future.

“We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the support we have received from Connacht Rugby this season. We are all working together to improve women’s rugby in the province and throughout Ireland.

“We believe that every province is doing the same. Great progress has been made this season with all the women’s Interpro games televised by TG4, and Vodafone coming on board as a sponsor of the series is a massive step in the right direction. However, the circumstances on Saturday highlight there is still much work to be done.

“More young girls got to see women’s rugby on TG4 over the last three weeks and hopefully we have inspired them to take up the game and fall in love with the sport that we love.”

Newcastle v Leeds – Preview, Team News, Betting

Leeds United travel to Newcastle on week five of the Premier League looking for their first win of the season

The game will kick off at 20:00 on Friday, 17th September in St. James’ Park with Mike Dean refereeing.

This has been another poor start to the season for Newcastle, after four games they have only managed one draw against Southampton. This sees them languishing 19th place as fans grow even more frustrated.

Last year’s wunderkind Joe Willock has yet to find his form while the squad has been hit with a few injuries to key players. Although they are at home, this will be a very challenging match for them.

Leeds has not faired much better in the league this season, they have only grabbed two draws in their fixtures and sit in 17th place. Bielsa will plan to turn their fortune around at the weekend after a tough run of fixtures.

The team will need to contend with only having one full-time center half available after Struijk’s red card was not rescinded.

These two sides have been very evenly matched in recent years, playing against each other in both the Premier League and Championship. Last season, Leeds proved to be stronger winning both ties including a thrilling 5-2 game before Christmas.

Predicted Starting 11s

Newcastle

Formation

5-3-2

Betting

Newcastle United 2/1

Draw 5/2

Leeds United 6/5

 

Predicted Score

Newcastle has been hit too hard with injuries this week and it will be hard for them to rekindle any excitement in their game without the missing players. Ayling will be well able to fill in at the defense for Leeds and sure them up.

Expect this game to end 3-1 to Leeds.

New Zealand team Announced for Fortinet Rugby Championship Brisbane Test against Argentina

New Zealand team Announced for Fortinet Rugby Championship Brisbane Test against Argentina

New Zealand team Announced for Fortinet Rugby Championship Test at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, on Saturday 18 September (Kick-off: 8.05 PM AEST, 10.05 PM NZT).

In the starting front row, Joe Moody is in the number one jersey after his return to the All Blacks off the bench last week, with hooker Samisoni Taukei’aho making his first Test start.

Tyrel Lomax will start in the number three jersey. There is also a welcome return to the All Blacks for prop Ofa Tuungafasi who will return to international rugby via the bench, following his recovery from knee surgery.  Prop George Bower will also bolster the front row from the reserves bench.

In the second row, Patrick Tuipulotu is back from a groin strain and will start alongside Tupou Vaa’i.  Scott Barrett will provide impact from the bench.

In the loose forwards, Ethan Blackadder and Hoskins Sotutu will make their second Test starts, at blindside and number eight respectively while Ardie Savea returns as captain in the number seven jersey. Luke Jacobson is the loose forward cover.

In the back, TJ Perenara is at halfback with Finlay Christie, making his first appearance in the Fortinet Rugby Championship, at reserve halfback. Damian McKenzie has been named to start his second Test in the playmaker 10 jersey while Quinn Tupaea gets his second Test start at 12 inside the experienced Rieko Ioane.

In the outsides, George Bridge is again on the left wing, Will Jordan is right-wing and Jordie Barrett is again at fullback.  Beauden Barrett will provide experience from the bench, with Braydon Ennor making a welcome return to the national side via the bench.

New Zealand team Announced for Fortinet Rugby Championship Brisbane Test against Argentina

All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster spoke about his team selection ahead of their second test against Argentina;

“With five Tests in a row and a six-day turnaround between these two Argentinian Tests, we were always going to make some selection changes. Five Tests in a row demanded that.  But the good thing is that we have a group that has been focussing on the same opposition for the last two weeks, so our preparation time hasn’t been compromised.

“We are expecting a huge response from Argentina and we have to make sure we are prepared for that because we know what a wounded beast is like.  The key is not so much how they respond, but how we respond. If we go into this Test match thinking it’s just going to happen for us like last week without earning the right to have the scoreboard in our favour, then we are in trouble.”

GAA Launches Survey To Shape Next Strategic Plan

The GAA is launching a landmark survey to give all players, members and supporters an opportunity to shape the Association’s next five-year strategic plan.

For the first time, the Association will use Foireann – its purpose-built membership management system – to send the survey link directly to the e-mail address of every eligible member. 

Since April of this year, the Association’s Strategic Plan Steering Group chaired by Uachtarán CLG, Larry McCarthy, has been consulting with a wide range of its members and partners to determine broad focus areas and issues.   

He said: “This process of engagement with our membership will be hugely important in helping us to establish the direction of travel for the Association over the next five years. 

“Over the next 10 days, there will be an opportunity for members – across every section of the GAA – to have their say on what they believe are the issues we need to prepare for and what solutions might help us meet those challenges. 

“I urge everyone to take up this opportunity and we look forward to feedback that for the first time we will be asking for via Foireann, our own membership system.” 

The questions in the survey are based on the feedback from a comprehensive programme of research which included surveys and focus groups with players, coaches, officers, other volunteers, and employees at Club and County levels, along with other key GAA stakeholders.   

The Steering Group wants everyone to have a say in shaping the Association’s future has engaged data analytics experts to pinpoint the key themes from the survey which should inform their thinking on the strategic change required.  

The group is especially eager to ensure that the views of Club members are reflected in the Association’s strategic priorities. All feedback will be reviewed over the course of several workshops the Steering Group will hold this October to create the strategic plan before it is present to An Coiste Bainistíochta for approval. 

Ard Stiúrthóir Tom Ryan added: “Having a clear vision and strategy for the Assocation over the next five years is of utmost importance and equally, finding out from the wider membership the concerns and aspirations for our organisation can only benefit this work. 

“Our clubs and their members drive Cumann Lúthchleas Gael and this is a chance for them to be heard as priorities are identified.  

“We want a diverse range of perspectives and ideas, so our strategy solves real problems and exploits meaningful opportunities. I would encourage as many members as possible to complete the survey.” 

The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and the deadline for completing the survey is 2 pm on Friday, September 24.

All-Ireland Poc Fada finals announced on 60 year anniversary

The 2021 M. Donnelly GAA All-Ireland Poc Fada Finals were officially launched by Uachtarán Chumann Lúthchleas Gael, Larry McCarthy and Uachtarán a Cumann Camógaíochta, Hilda Breslin in Croke Park yesterday

This year’s competition is an invitational event that will see recent competitors return to Annaverna Mountain in what promises to be a highly competitive field. Also, it marks 60 years of All-Ireland Poc Fada competition.

There will be celebrations in honour of the very first Poc Fada which saw six Under 16 boys compete on Annaverna Mountain. The four surviving players and their family members have been invited to the event this year.

The competition will also remember two great Poc Fada loyalists, former champion Oliver Gough (1964) and Lester Ryan who championed the competition at every level and was responsible for so many others driving this unique event.

The unique Gaelic Games contest promises to be a great day of sport. Speaking at the launch Larry McCarthy said:

“I am delighted to see the return of this unique sporting event which embodies the broad cultural and historical significance of our unique game of hurling.

We are honouring that designation by holding an event which sustains and secures a heritage dating back to Cu Chulainn.”

Speaking about this year’s Finals Uachtarán an Cumann Camógaíochta Hilda Breslin said:

“It’s fantastic to see the All-Ireland Poc Fada Finals return this year in what is always an exciting day in the Camogie calendar. I am particularly enthused to see such a star-studded field taking part on what should be a fantastic occasion at the Annaverna Mountain.”

Defending senior hurling champion Cillian Kiely puts his crown on the line against a high calibre field that includes his brother Cathal and players of the calibre of Kilkenny’s Eoin Murphy.

The Kiely’s finished in 1st and 2nd place in 2019 with Cillian finishing with one less poc than his younger sibling, Cathal.

On the Camogie side, champion Caitriona Daly from Galway defends her title against a field that includes recent All-Ireland Intermediate medal winner from Antrim Roisin McCormack.

Abbey Donnelly, from Meath continues a family tradition by following in the footsteps of her father, and grandfather who was a joint winner in 1962. All-Ireland Senior winning goalkeeper Sarah Healy from Galway and Lyndsey Condell from Carlow will also compete.

Unfortunately, due to Covid 19 restrictions that have been in place in the months leading up to the event, there will be no Under 16 competitions this year.

The M. Donnelly GAA All-Ireland Poc Fada Final proceedings will get under way at 12 noon on Annaverna Mountain, in the Cooley Range, Ravensdale, Co. Louth on Saturday, September 25th.

Safest Way to Bet on Sports Online

With online betting available, many wonder how safe it is to engage in real money wagering on sport at an online bookmaker. There are some steps you can take to make sure you have the safest experience when you bet on sports. The key is making sure you are registering at a licensed and regulated betting site that has top reviews and a positive reputation. You will even find that the best low deposit casino will offer a sportsbook where you can start wagering with just a small deposit!

Here are some other ways you can make sure you have the most secure and enjoyable betting experience when you chose to wager online.

Financial Safety

When you choose a reliable sportsbook, you also want to make sure that you can securely conduct transactions in local currencies and use trusted methods. Each sportsbook will support a variety of banking methods. To make sure you remain safe when wagering, make sure the chosen site uses state-of-the-art encryption technology.

This software is the same that is used by an online bank and will protect your personal and financial information. This helps to prevent account hacking as well as fraud, adding an extra layer of protection as you engage in real money wagering at a site.

The most secure betting sites will have SSL Certificates that use a private and public key to create a completely secure connection. Some sites will use TSL encryption. This is the same security protocol that will protect your information, and it is just as strong as SSL.

Look for Two-Step Verification

In addition to using SSL encryption, websites will also use an added security measure called a two-step verification process. When you access a site and log in, you will have to provide a password as well as a code that has been sent to a mobile device or your email. You can only access the site, and your account after this code has been entered. This is just one more way sites make sure that you are always protected when you bet at a sportsbook online.

Licensing and Regulation

Online sportsbooks are not required to be licensed to operate. In the Netherlands, you will find that online betting is a legal activity, but you should always make sure to choose a betting site that holds a license from a respected jurisdiction. The best betting sites will be licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, or the Gibraltar Gaming Commission.

At this time, bettors from the Netherlands are able to access offshore sites that offer betting services. At licensed sportsbooks, you will benefit from player protection and will be assured the site operates according to local gambling laws. In 2021, changes in the Netherlands are expected as a licensing system is being put in place that will allow for more operators to provide betting services in the Netherlands, keeping profits in the country.

The new Dutch License will provide a legal way for more sportsbooks to enter the country and provide services to residents. Dutch authorities have stated that any operator that has previously targeted Dutch players will not be granted a license.

Conclusion

With hundreds of online sportsbooks operating, it will take some time to find the best sites. Each operator will provide different markets, promotions, banking options, and services. The key to staying safe is to choose a licensed site that has top-notch security measures in place. The site should protect your personal and financial information and should also have a viewable Privacy Policy, so you know exactly how your details are stored and used.

 

Liverpool v AC Milan – Preview, Team News, Odds, Where To Watch

Liverpool will welcome AC Milan to Anfield for their first fixture of the group stage in this season’s UEFA Champions League.

The two sides will meet in the competition for the first time in 14 years – their last meeting was the final in 2007, in which AC Milan won their seventh European Cup and got revenge on Liverpool for the loss in the final fixture of 2005’s instalment of the tournament.

Liverpool will be looking to mount a strong challenge for the continental crown and equal the Rossoneri’s haul after picking up their sixth in 2019.

The injury crisis of 2020-21 is in the past – Liverpool reached the quarter-finals without several key figures of their squad – but Liverpool will still be without several players for their opening European fixture of the season.

Jurgen Klopp’s men will be without Harvey Elliott, who underwent surgery for his dislocated ankle on Tuesday.

This follows the fracture-dislocation to the left ankle he sustained during last weekend’s victory over Leeds United.

Roberto Firmino and Takumi Minamino were both absent at Elland Road on Sunday as they recover from previous issues but no other injury or fitness concerns were raised by Klopp in Tuesday’s press conference.

Furthermore, Minamino was pictured training with the squad at Kirkby on Liverpool’s social media accounts on Tuesday.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and on-loan midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko are unavailable for the visitors after they named a 21-man travelling squad for the fixture, with both players absent due to injury.

Lineups

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent, Matip, Gomez, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Keita; Jota, Origi, Salah.

Subs: Adrian, Kelleher, Van Dijk, Konate, Thiago, Milner, Mané, Tsimikas, Phillips, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino.

AC Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo H.; Bennacer, Kessie; Saelemakers, Diaz, Leao; Rebic.

Subs: Tatarusanu, Ballo-Touré, Tonali, Giroud, Romagnoli, Kalulu, Florenzi, Maldini, Gabbia, Jungdal.

Odds

Liverpool 2/5

Draw 15/4

AC Milan 11/2

Where To Watch

Liverpool v AC Milan will be available to watch on Virgin Media and BT Sport 2 with kick-off set for 8 pm.
