Predicted Spurs XI for Aston Villa clash

Nuno Santo will be looking to stop the rot in the Premier League as his side welcome Aston Villa to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this afternoon.

The Lilywhites have suffered three successive heavy defeats, including in the north London derby last weekend, where they put in an embarrassing first-half performance – a stark contrast to the small positives against Chelsea.

A late Heung-min Son strike stopped it being a third straight 3-0 loss in the top-flight but it’s not going to get any easier with the Midlands outfit in town.

Dean Smith’s side have started the season well and head into this encounter buoyed by their win over Manchester United last time out. They too sit above Spurs in the table.

There are plenty of selection dilemmas facing the Portuguese head coach, too, so it will be interesting to see what sort of lineup he opts for today.

Here’s what Football FanCast are predicting…

There could be as many as seven changes from the midweek win over Slovenian champions NS Mura in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

In defence, club captain Hugo Lloris is expected to resume his duties as Nuno’s no.1 goalkeeper, replacing Pierluigi Gollini, whilst only Sergio Reguilon and Cristian Romero remain from Thursday night.

Joe Rodon did his chances no harm but Nuno may well opt for Eric Dier, who has started five of their six league games, instead. Elsewhere, summer signing Emerson Royal is preferred to academy gem Japhet Tanganga at right-back.

Another player who impressed during the week was Oliver Skipp and he’s likely to keep hold of his spot in the engine room, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg returning over Harry Winks.

Further up the pitch, a big call has to be made.

Does Nuno stick with Dele Alli? Does Tanguy Ndombele return? Or does Giovani Lo Celso keep his place after a goal and assist only a few days ago? We’re predicting the latter, meaning the Englishman is axed from the starting XI, whilst the Frenchman remains on the bench once again.

Son and Harry Kane are two obvious starters, though they will be joined by Lucas Moura rather than Bryan Gil in the final change.

The £18m-rated Brazilian, who Dier once claimed was a “nightmare” to train against, enjoyed a positive 30 minutes against Mura, registering a late assist so he is likely to get the nod over the young Spaniard, who is still getting to grips with the Premier League.

No BID, Hernanes chega nesta sexta e já pode reestrear pelo São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Hernanes já tem condições de reestrear pelo São Paulo. Nesta quinta-feira, o nome do jogador apareceu no Boletim Informativo Diário (BID) da CBF. Com a documentação regularizada, o meia que chega do Herbei Fortune da China poderia até encarar o Grêmio nesta segunda-feira, mas não deve jogar. Seria muito pouco tempo de treino até o embate.

Emprestado pelos chineses até julho de 2018, Hernanes desembarca no Brasil nesta sexta-feira. Ele chegará por volta das 16h30 no aeroporto de Cumbica, em Guarlhos, São Paulo. Na segunda, deve ir ao Morumbi ter o primeiro contato com a torcida no estádio, e ser apresentado durante a semana. Não há previsão para a estreia, mas ela não deve demorar, já que o jogador vinha mantendo a forma no clube chinês, apesar de não ser utilizado.

Pelo empréstimo de Hernanes, o São Paulo não pagará nada aos chineses, arcando apenas com R% 500 mil de salário. O jogador recebe cerca de R$ 2,4 milhões mensais, mas estava sem ter oportunidades no Herbei, que aceitou liberá-lo ao Tricolor.

Hernanes vestirá a camisa 15, com a qual foi campeão brasileiro em 2008, quando acabou sendo escolhido o melhor jogador da competição. Já disse que vem para jogar de meia-atacante. O técnico Dorival Júnior, ao ser perguntado sobre o reforço, fez pomposos elogios mas disse que vai esperar ele chegar para definir de que forma utilizá-lo.

Botha left out of South African squad

South Africa have replaced offspinner Johan Botha, who was reported for a suspect action, and fast bowler Wayne Parnell with Morne Morkel and Makhaya Ntini in their squad for the final ODI against Australia in Johannesburg

South Africa have left out their vice-captain Johan Botha from the squad for the fifth ODI. Botha was reported for a suspect action after the fourth match•Getty Images

Johan Botha has described as “pretty simple” the work required to remedy his bowling action, but the controversial spinner has nonetheless been stood down from the South African side for the fifth one-day international against Australia. Under ICC guidelines, Botha was eligible for selection in the series finale at the Wanderers on Friday despite being cited for a suspect action after Monday’s match in Port Elizabeth, but team management opted against the move in a bid to shield their vice-captain from the spotlight.Botha is expected to fly to Perth in the coming days to undergo testing at the University of Western Australia. The examination will most likely be carried out by Bruce Elliott, the ICC-approved biomechanist who twice tested Botha in 2006, and comes after umpires officiating the fourth one-day international at St George’s Park queried his doosra and faster deliveries. Botha, though, believes only minor tweaking will be required to rectify his action.”We know what we want to do and we know what we need to do,” Botha told Cricinfo. “It’s pretty simple.”Graeme Smith, the South African captain, told reporters in Johannesburg that the move to stand Botha down from the fifth one-day was designed to relieve the pressure on him. Smith said Botha had been working on his action with South Africa’s bowling coach, Vinnie Barnes, in recent days and reiterated that the spinner remained an integral member of his one-day squad.”We just felt it was important to take the focus off him,” Smith said.Wayne Parnell, South Africa’s promising teenage fast bowler, was also left out for the final one-dayer against Australia at the Wanderers; a match that assumed dead-rubber status with the hosts’ 61-run victory at St George’s Park on Monday. Parnell and Botha were replaced by Morne Morkel and Makhaya Ntini.Victory in Johannesburg will cap a successful campaign for the South Africans, during which they claimed a stunning 2-1 Test victory in Australia and won back-to-back limited overs series against Ponting’s men, taking them to the top of the ODI rankings. Another loss for Australia, meanwhile, would confirm their drop to No. 3 in the ODI rankings, behind South Africa and India.”If I look back at the highlights over the past 18 months, I have to put the away Test series victories over England and Australia at the top of the list,” Smith said. “These have been the two toughest assignments for South African cricket in the past and to have achieved both of those successes in the space of six months has been very special for this team. The other major highlight must be the achievement of winning both the Test and ODI series in Australia.”On an individual level the most pleasing aspect has been the way the younger players have come through. You need a hard core of experience on which to base a top team and we now have the ideal balance of youth and experience coming together. The emergence of these young players has also enabled us to develop our one-day brand and the type of cricket we want to play.”

Aston Villa want Stoke’s Harry Souttar

Aston Villa are eyeing a move for Stoke City star Harry Souttar in the January transfer window, and Alan Hutton has given his seal of approval behind a move.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent days have suggested that Dean Smith’s side have got their eye on a new year swoop for the centre-back, and former Villa man Hutton has insisted Souttar would be a great signing for them.

He said: “I think when you look at the boys who are there, they’re all good in the air. I’ve worked with them, I know they can be physical but they like playing with the ball at their feet as well.

“I think it’s very good to have those different styles of footballers within your armoury. It gives you the option if you want. If somebody’s injured, you want to play four at the back, three at the back or something may happen, you’ve got room to manoeuvre. I think that was Dean Smith’s plan moving forward. The starting XI was very good but they needed to bolster the squad.

“I think that’s the situation that they’re in at the moment. He obviously ticks all the boxes. He’s very physical, he’s there to win the ball and it’s good to have someone like that in your backline.”

Shades of Tyrone Mings

Once described as a “Rolls-Royce” by Stoke stalwart Ryan Shawcross, the defender has been compared to a number of different big-name players, including the likes of Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk.

His manager at Stoke, Michael O’Neill, is clearly a big fan of the kind of modern, ball-playing centre-back that Souttar is, saying: “He’s a player blessed with great natural attributes. Obviously his height but also he’s got good game intelligence and he’s a great user of the ball as well. That’s something which I think will set him apart from the other defenders in this league.”

And, when you compare his physical attributes (he’s an inch taller than Mings at a towering 6 foot 6), as well as his key defensive stats to the Villa man, they favour well.

As per Whoscored, he averages a whopping six times the amount of tackles per game as Mings, while he also boasts more interceptions per match in the Championship too. Not only that, but Souttar also makes close to eighty passes per game on average for Stoke (29 more than Mings), and at a far better accuracy too.

The Stoke beast could bring some added physicality to Villa’s back-line and give Smith some extra depth in that centre-back role. His height, reading of the game and ability to play out from the back has got real shades of Mings.

Meanwhile, Ashley Preece has confirmed an Aston Villa “blow”…

Emocionado, Abel explica decisão: 'A gente cai muito e se levanta sempre'

Antes da bola rolar na Ilha do Retiro, uma demonstração de solidariedade marcou a partida entre Sport e Fluminense. Ao entrar no gramado, Abel Braga, que perdeu seu filho mais novo, João Pedro, no sábado, foi ovacionado pelos torcedores do Leão e todos presentes no estádio. Depois, abraçado com Vanderlei Luxemburgo, ouviu o hino nacional no centro do gramado.

As homenagens emocionaram o comandante tricolor, que explicou a decisão de retomar às atividades, recusando o período de folga oferecido pelo clube.

– Vim tentar mostrar para as pessoas que não podemos perder para a vida. Temos que aproveitar a vida. A gente cai muito e levanta sempre. Essa homenagem, como tantas outras, tem me feito ter essa força que nem eu sei de onde tiro. É principalmente pela solidariedade. Essa é a palavra. Assim a gente vai – afirmou Abel, emocionado pelos aplausos da torcida do Sport:

– Não esperava isso. Participar do hino ao lado dos árbitros, de um colega como o Vanderlei. A homenagem da torcida do Sport me marcou – finalizou o técnico.

Newcastle transfer news on Mauro Icardi

Newcastle United are now reportedly targeting a move for Mauro Icardi after the takeover by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium went through.

The Lowdown: Game time limited

The 28-year-old is currently enduring a tough time at Paris Saint-Germain, where he has seen his game-time becoming limited following the arrival of Lionel Messi from Barcelona.

Icardi has only managed to play the full 90 minutes on two separate occasions so far this season, with many of his appearances coming as a substitute.

The Latest: Icardi targeted

As per Calciomercato, Newcastle are now targeting a move for Icardi ahead of the January transfer window coming up.

However, they will reportedly face competition from both Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus for his signature.

The Verdict: Sign

As money is no object to the new owners, the Tyneside club should be looking to sign the £31.5m-rated Icardi. He should be relatively easy to acquire given his lack of game-time at PSG, and he may be a player who they would consider selling for the right price.

At 28 years of age, the Argentina international is a goalscorer in his prime, and with no fewer than 172 senior goals to his name for club and country combined, he certainly knows how to find the back of the net.

The striker would certainly be a statement signing which should hopefully persuade other global stars to follow him to St James’ Park.

Timão procura zagueiro do Botafogo, mas esbarra em valores e liberação

MatériaMais Notícias

Além de nomes em atividade na Série B do Brasileirão, como Ruan, Eduardo Brock, Messias e Ernando, o Corinthians tem mais um zagueiro no radar para reforçar o elenco, que hoje conta apenas com Balbuena, Pedro Henrique e Léo Santos à disposição do técnico Fábio Carille. O alvo não é novo, mas as negociações efetivas tiveram início nos últimos dias: trata-se de Emerson Santos, jogador de 22 anos que tem contrato com o Botafogo até 31 de dezembro, mas atuou apenas duas vezes no Campeonato Brasileiro.

Como informou o LANCE! nesta semana, o Corinthians consultou Emerson Santos e foi informado de que o desejo do jogador era atuar na Europa a partir de 2018. Porém, em vez de desistir do negócio, a diretoria decidiu investir por conta da boa avaliação da comissão técnica e do perfil apropriado: menos de 30 anos, potencial de evolução e possibilidade de contratação de baixo custo.

Mas é justamente na questão dos valores que o Corinthians encontra as maiores barreiras da negociação por Emerson Santos. O padrão salarial desejado pelo zagueiro para a próxima temporada é bem acima do que o Timão deseja pagar. Fora a necessidade de pagamento de luvas pela assinatura do contrato, o que deixa o clube receoso. Para tentar convencer o jogador a reduzir os valores, o Timão recebeu família e representantes no CT Joaquim Grava nesta semana, mas ainda não há definição sobre o caso.

Paralelamente à conversa com o próprio jogador, o Corinthians já abriu negociações com o Botafogo pela liberação do zagueiro. Em litígio com a diretoria do clube desde que rejeitou as propostas de renovação do contrato que vence no fim do ano, Emerson tem tido poucas chances com o técnico Jair Ventura e é de interesse do clube carioca liberá-lo antes do fim do ano mediante compensação. As duas partes conversam sobre este tema, e o Timão abre possibilidade de envolver jogadores não aproveitados, mas não dinheiro. As conversas ainda estão em estágio embrionário.

O Corinthians busca um novo zagueiro desde que Pablo se lesionou e recebeu a notícia de que ficará fora de ação por um mês e meio. O também zagueiro Vilson operou o joelho direito em março e não tem previsão de volta ao campo. Assim, nos últimos jogos, Carille tem contado apenas com Balbuena, Pedro Henrique e o garoto Léo Santos na posição. Questionado sobre o nome de Emerson Santos, o treinador corintiano desconversou.

-Quem vai falar de contratação é a diretoria. Eu, como em alguns momentos já respondi sobre isso e a conversa distorceu, não falo mais.

ناقد سعودي يوضح الموقف القانوني لشكوى أبو جبل ضد النصر

أكد الناقد الرياضي النصراوي محمد شنوان العنزي أن موقف الحارس المصري محمد أبوجبل من الجانب القانوني ضعيف في شكواه ضد نادي النصر السعودي.

أعلن محمد أبو جبل حارس مرمى الزمالك السابق في بيان رسمي اليوم تقدمه بشكوى ضد نادي النصر السعودي لدى المحكمة الرياضة الدولية.

وأوضح أبو جبل في بيان رسمي أن النصر رفض إصدار تأشيرة دخوله المملكة العربية السعودية ولم يقبل بمنحه تذكرة للحاق بمعسكر الفريق في ماربيا الإسبانية.

وأشار حارس الزمالك إلى أن النصر رد عليه بأن العقد الموقع معه أصبح باطلًا عبر الخطابات المرسلة إليه من النادي السعودي.

وكتب العنزي من خلال حسابه الرسمي عبر “تويتر”: “اللاعب وقع بالفعل لـ النصر وحصل على 250 ألف يورو كمقدم للعقد، وكان سيحصل على 250 ألف يورو عند توقيع العقد النهائي، أبو جبل قدم معلومات غير صحيحة عن عقده مع الزمالك”.

وتابع: “الحارس المصري لم يستجب لطلب النصر بالالتحاق بالمعسكر، وأرسلت إدارة النصر عدة رسائل إلكترونية للاعب وللاتحاد المصري، لم يتم الرد والتجاوب معها، اللاعب تورط مع النصر وذهب لمفاوضة ناديه بدفع مبالغ، بعضها معلوم وبعضها غير معلوم، بهدف الحصول على إخلاء طرف، ودفع لناديه مليوني جنيه مصري ليهرب من الورطة”.

واختتم: “إدارة النصر بتصرف حضاري وبدعم من الأمير خالد بن فهد، أخبروا اللاعب بأن يحصل على مبلغ الـ 250 ألف يورو وكفى المؤمنين شر القتال، لكن الحارس المصري رفض وطالب بكامل عقده، لمدة 3 سنوات رغم أن موقفه ضعيف، موقف النصر سليم جدًا، وسوف يتم استرداد الـ250 ألف يورو قيمة مقدم العقد”.

يذكر أن أبوجبل شارك مع الزمالك في 21 مباراة في الموسم الحالي من بينها 14 لقاء في الدوري المصري.

Miller wants swift coach decision

Geoff Miller, England’s national selector, hopes the new head coach is named quickly so that he can begin putting his plans in place for the hectic season ahead

England’s national selector Geoff Miller has called for a quick resolution to the England coaching search to allow him to commence planning for the hectic season ahead.Miller will name his first Test squad of the season, to face West Indies at Lord’s, on April 18. It will be a larger assembly of players than usual, resembling more of a touring squad, partly because a number of key members of the England team are involved in the Indian Premier League.Andy Flower, the interim coach, will advise on the squad selection even though he has not been confirmed as England’s full-time director of cricket. Following a winter of distractions, Miller implored the ECB to make a swift coaching appointment to restore a degree of stability to the national squad.”I would very much like it to be as soon as possible, personally, because it makes my job far easier,” Miller told reporters at Lord’s. “I can get on making decisions with him about what we’re going to do this summer.”Miller was at Lord’s with Flower – who is the frontrunner to become the director of cricket – partly so the pair could debrief about the recently completed West Indies tour, and also to watch fringe players in the MCC side hoping to push their claims for national selection. With Durham batting throughout the shortened first day, both men left St John’s Wood none the wiser as to which of the MCC’s senior batsmen could best contend for the No. 3 spot.Michael Vaughan, Ian Bell and Robert Key can each make a case to replace Owais Shah, one of England’s IPL-bound players, in the Test side if the selectors feel change is required. Though the England squad will be named next week, the identity of precisely who will hold down the No. 3 slot will remain unresolved. As many as three candidates could be named in the expanded squad.Those players will have a maximum of two more rounds of Championship games (or a possible England Lions match against West Indies) to make a final push before the Test squad meet up on May 4.”There might be one or two that need to get some runs but they know the situation,” Miller said. “There are lots of permutations. The reason these players are playing here – it’s not a trial as such – is for us to see where they are with their specific games at this moment in time because early decisions have to be made in the selection.”Bell, one of those hoping for a recall, knows there is only one way back into the team. “I’ve got to go to Warwickshire score as many runs as I can,” he told Cricinfo earlier this week. “If I can give the selectors no alternative but to pick me because I’ve scored so many runs that’s the way I’d like to go.”It is a busy time for the England selectors, who have announced the preliminary 30-man ICC World Twenty20 squad and the performance squad in the last week. The final 15-man party for the World Twenty20, which will also need a captain, will be named before May 1.Two bowlers in the Twenty20 squad, Tim Bresnan and 20-year-old Chris Woakes, impressed on the opening day at Lord’s. Bresnan, a late selection for the match, claimed two wickets and Woakes removed Gordon Muchall during a testing spell of swing.
