Bristol City vs Aston Villa – Match Preview – After a rocky start to the season, Aston Villa face a tricky away trip to the Ashton Gate. Lee Johnson’s men are unbeaten at home so far this season, and another home win would pile the pressure upon Steve Bruce.

After their opening day thrashing of Barnsley, Bristol City have failed to build on that win. Since then, they have picked up one point from their last three league games and will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Friday. Since getting off the mark on the opening day, club record signing Famara Diedhio has failed to find the net since. With the club shelling out a reported £5.3 million pounds, the Senegalese striker will be keen to repay them by adding to his goal tally.

One shining light has been midfielder Bobby Reid. The 24 year old has managed four league goals already this season, including two in his last two. Whilst City only have five points to their name, the football they have played has merited more. Having hit the woodwork and missed several guilt egged chances against Birmingham, they found themselves on the wrong side of a 2-1 score line, underlining their misfortune.

Villa on the other hand have flattered to deceive. After being installed as the joint favourites to win the division, a measly four points from four games has drawn plenty of criticism. An encouraging 4-2 victory against Norwich last time out should bide Bruce some time, but performances must improve, if they are to challenge for automatic promotion.

Last season, Villa came unstuck at Aston Gate, losing 3-1. Although they avenged that defeat with a 2-0 home win, they haven’t won away in the league at the Robins since 1979. The last ten meetings between these two have drawn up 22 goals and with both sides having scored in three of their four league games, it should be an enthralling tie.

Prediction: Bristol City 1-1 Aston Villa

NY Red Bulls vs NY City FC – Match Preview – The New York derby returns for its tenth ever fixture. The City that never sleeps will have the attention of the MLS on Saturday 26th August as both sides are battling to secure a top two position in the Eastern conference.

The ever-competitive New York Red Bulls will be hoping to bounce back following a 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Portland Timbers. However, standing in their way of a crucial three points is an in-form New York City side that has won three matches on the bounce.

The (sort-of) hosts for the derby, Red Bulls, often pose as the largest attacking threats in the conference. Striker, Bradley Wright-Phillips, is one of the best documented players in the league and will pose big problems for the New York City defence. The striker scored a brace in their recent US Open Cup tie against Cincinnati; a late equaliser and then the winner in extra time.

Head coach of the Red Bulls, Jesse Marsch, will be hoping to restore the faith of the fans by earning some local pride against their noisy neighbours. The last time these two met, New York City won in a 5-goal thriller with ex-Barcelona star David Villa stealing the headlines with a hat trick for Patrick Vieira’s side.

At the age of 35, David Villa is continuing to score for fun as he is leading the MLS golden boot race with 19 goals and 4 assists. The most experienced player on the pitch will also be the deadliest. Could the Spaniard’s clinical edge provide the difference?

Skybet To Score a Brace – David Villa to Score a Brace – 9/2

Villa and company will widen the gap between them and the competition with a victory on Saturday. New York City currently sit second in the Eastern conference, five points adrift from Chicago Fire in third. Manager, Patrick Vieira, will look to field his strongest side in the hopes that his side can get one over on their city rivals. The bookmakers fancy them to do so.

Skybet Match Result – New York City FC to Win – 5/2

Red Bulls are nowhere near safe in the play-off positions thus far and a defeat on Saturday could see them with their backs against the wall. Columbus Crew, Montreal Impact and Atlanta United are all breathing down their neck in the standings. In front of a home crowd, this is the definition of a big pressure match.

Bournemouth vs Manchester City – Match Preview – Premier League title favourites Manchester City travel to pointless Bournemouth looking to get back to winning ways after a difficult draw to Everton last time out.

Pep Guardiola’s side broke newly-promoted Brighton’s resilience in the opening match with a 2-0 win, but had to fight back with 10 men, following Kyle Walker’s red-card, to earn a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium in Monday’s nights clash with Everton.

After spending over £200m in the transfer market City are heavily favoured to achieve their first league title since 2014, so anything less than a return to winning ways will be a huge surprise and even at this early stage, perhaps cause for concern.

In the pre-season predictions, Bournemouth were also widely tipped to have a strong season but find themselves without a point or a goal scored coming into the third fixture. 1-0 and 2-0 losses to West Brom and Watford respectively have left Eddie Howe perplexed as to the solution to these premature problems.

The Cherries have proven themselves capable opposition during their maiden two years in the top flight, an attractive style of football has brought plaudits along the way too. Big money has been spent in the form of £20m Nathan Ake and £10m Asmir Begovic from Chelsea to rectify their issues at the other end of the pitch, however.

City should prove to be too strong for a Bournemouth side struggling to get out of the traps of late, a wealth of attacking options capable of unlocking even the meanest defence are likely to overwhelm Howe’s men.

Team News
Jermain Defoe could be in line for his first start at Bournemouth to try and get the club on the scoresheet for the first time this season.

Kyle Walker is unavailable due to his imminent suspension so Sane and Danilo could retain their full-back berths. Potential left-sided replacement Benjamin Mendy is alongside central midfielder Ilkay Gundogan on the side-lines as both battle to regain full fitness.

Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero could form a formidable strike force this season Photo Credit: skysports.com

Player to Watch
Guardiola has implemented the currently fashionable 3-5-2 in an attempt to play Gabriel Jesus alongside Sergio Aguero. That is big praise for the Brazillian striker’s impact since his signing from Palmeiras and given these opportunities you wouldn’t bet against that impact continuing and expanding. The 20-year-old has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water and his composure shines through every match – fashioning chances for himself and teammates while also consistently looking like he will have the finishing to match.

by ·Comments Off on Horse Racing Preview – York – 25th August 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from Day 3 of the Ebor Festival, with three selections from York.

 

14.25 York – Weatherby’s Hamilton Lonsdale Cup Stakes (Group 2) (16.1f)

I must say I have been a big follower of Willie Haggas’s Dal Harraild this season, The Grand Cup winner looked smart when beating Nakeeta over 13f, this step up in trip should not inconvenience him, with a high cruising speed I expect him to be on the premises.

Even so the selection comes in the way of Willie Mullins Thomas Hobson, the Ascot Stakes winner was probably unlucky when just denied in the same week at the Royal meeting in the Queen Alexandra Stakes, has won a Grade A hurdle on good to soft and has to respected, however he can still mix it up over this drop back in trip, Mullins won this with the smart Max Dynamite two years ago, could be a prep run for a possible stab at this years Melbourne Cup.

THOMAS HOBSON : 3pt Win @ 7/2 (BOG)

15.00 York – Sky Bet City Of York Stakes (Group 3) (7f)

Over the past four renewals the head of the market have had a good run and this time around I am with David O’Meara’s Suedois who made up a lot of ground in the Lennox Stakes to be just denied by three parts of a length. He holds So Beloved on that run and I would expect him to do so again, there is a slight ground concern, however his consistency deserves to go close.

Best of the rest looks to come in the way of John Gosden’s Daban. The Nell Gwyn winner has struggled to make an impact since his Group 3 success at Newmarket, but was not disgraced in a hot 1000gns and Jersey Stakes.

Suedios : 2pt each way @ 7/1 (BOG)

15.35 York – Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes (Group 1) (5f)

This is going to be over in a flash, and the head to head is definitely Lady Aurelia and Battaash, two special sprinters in this field. The ground looks to come in favour of Charles Hills gelding Battaash, but there is no getting away from the class that is Lady Aurelia.

If Lady Aurelia brings her Queen Mary Stakes win from last year, which by the way came in good to soft conditions, all they will see behind her is her pulling away in style. She won that QM by seven lengths, her only defeat came in the Cheveley Park Stakes, but being two lengths behind the likes of Roly Poly is not a bad yardstick.

She blitzed them in this years Kings Stand taking the scalps of King George second and third Profitable and soft ground sprinter Marsha. I just cannot see her being overhauled. Battaash I feel will be put in his place this afternoon, but has been a smart gelding for trainer Charles Hills, whatever his distance of defeat today he has to be respected after his Coral Charge win.

LADY AURELIA : 5pt Win @ 13/8 (BOG) (NAP)

by ·Comments Off on Horse Racing Preview – York – 24th August 2017

Today’s horse racing preview comes from Day 2 of York, with three selections from the meeting.

 

14.25 York – Sky Bet Lowther Stakes (Group 2) (6f)

Without a doubt, Mark Johnston’s Threading was the one to take out of the whole meeting at Goodwood two weeks ago when decapitating his field by six lengths, that came on heavy ground, however he is bred to be more versatile on quicker ground being by Exceed and Excel who relish good ground.

Despite his run being the slowest in the field, most of the entrants here have run on today’s surface so it’s on trust that the NAP of the day can adapt, I think there is more to come from this filly and will take this step up into this company in her stride.

Willie Haggas does well at York, winning trainer back in 2015 with Besharah. He has a probability of two entries here with Island Drive and Special Purpose. The latter is the one of interest after two solid wins around the Novice ranks, but this is a huge step up for this daughter of Scat Daddy, but she is the main danger to the selection here, along with Roger Varian’s Madeline.

The Kodiac filly has been a bit hit and miss, however she never handled the step up into pattern company when competing for the Group 3 Albany Stakes where she had the likes of Actress and Natural behind her, but was dropped quickly into Listed company when landing the Rose Bowl Stakes at Newbury in a race that she beat Natural once more with Another Bhatt back in third, who has been beaten for the third time in Listed company last weekend.

THREADING : 3pt Win @ 5/1 (SkyBet) (BOG)  (NAP)

15.35 York – Darley Yorkshire Oaks (Group 1) (11.9f)

I think it is safe to say that Enable looks nailed on to collect her fourth Group 1 of the campaign, she is definitely the smartest filly in the race and is very versatile on any ground, so it’s a case of looking around for the forecast, who will chase her home?

Only three for me really have the ability to give her a race, John Gosden’s other possible entry in Journey and Sir Michael Stoute’s Queen’s Trust. Both Group 1 winners in their own rights, with the former landing the Champion & Fillies Mare Stakes and Queen’s Trust winning her big time race taking the Breeders Cup Filly & Mares Turf.

So out of the two, who has trained on the better? Their best runs this season has seen Journey finish a wayward fifth in the Coronation Cup, Queen’s Trust fourth in the Prince of Wales Stakes when behind Highland Reel and Ulysses. For me though the one that has any form this year should be Nezwaah. Roger Varian’s daughter of Dubawi. I feel, is the only horse in this race that can either spring a surprise or can chase the favourite home.

Unbeaten this year which included the Group 1 Pretty Polly Stakes, which she done in a very professional manner. Even though I think she beat a very exposed field that day in Ireland, she is still on paper the second best filly this race has to offer.

Nezwaah : 2pts each way @ 7/1 (William Hill) (BOG)

Enable & Nezwaah : 5pt (Reverse Forecast)

Manchester United vs Leicester City – Match Preview – Manchester United host Leicester City as Jose Mourinho will aim to continue the momentum of their perfect start to the campaign.
The self proclaimed ‘Special One’ has enjoyed watching his side dismantle both West Ham and Swansea in their opening fixtures with consecutive 4-0 victories. Meanwhile, Leicester have been illustrating their attacking prowess since the first whistle of the new season.

Manchester United have flexed their financial muscle yet again this summer and it appears to have paid off thus far. The arrival of Romelu Lukaku stole the back pages and his opening two matches have continued that trend. The big Belgian scored two against West Ham in an emphatic debut and nailed Swansea’s coffin with a late goal in his second league match. Can Lukaku make it three consecutive games on the scoresheet?

Skybet Player to Score a Brace – Romelu Lukaku – 2/1

‘The Foxes’ bounced back from a tough 4-3 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League’s opening match with a 2-0 victory over league newcomers, Brighton and Hove Albion.
A season of stability is required from Craig Shakespeare and promising signs were shown in their previous outing. However, United pose a much larger threat and Shakespeare’s men will have a tough time dealing with the ‘Red Devils’ attack. New arrival, Harry Maguire has impressed since joining Leicester but will face his toughest test yet having to mark Lukaku and company.
Jamie Vardy will be hoping to get some good service in behind the United defence as he aims for a third season of goalscoring for ‘The Foxes’.

Jose Mourinho will be hoping his pattern of good early starts in the domestic leagues resulting in title wins will occur yet again with his new-look Manchester United side. The introduction of Marcus Rashford and Henrik Mhkitaryan in behind target-man Lukaku has seen great success so far. Summer arrival Nemanja Matic has also hit the ground running and has struck up a promising relationship with £90 million man Paul Pogba. They are tough to bet against.

Leicester are fresh from a 4-1 victory over Sheffield United midweek in the Carabao Cup. Two goals from hot and cold striker Islam Slimani saw ‘The Foxes’ cruise to victory. It is unsure whether Slimani’s efforts on Tuesday will earn him a spot in the starting eleven. Both Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy have begun the campaign in impressive fashion, which could spell more time on the bench for the Algerian. Leicester seem to be in a goal-scoring mood, could it rattle the United defence?
