Legion is new team in the top tier, and they have won the second league with big spread to other ones in the previous season. They did lost in the recent round but result of 2:0 against Levadia is ok for the new member. Squad has quality and they should try to avoid big defeat again, when facing other title challenger.
These are the bottom two teams in the league standings at this moment, the hosts are favorites only because they are playing at home and the guests concede goals with ease on the road but are not that bad at scoring some themselves, drawing once here 2-2 and losing once 2-1 last season also in the league.
But this reckoned without the input of Zaha and Benteke. Zaha's goal was a superb strike, fiercely fired into the net via the crossbar from an unlikely distance. Benteke's was more routine, tapped in from point-blank range following a neat move, but almost as surprising, it being his first goal at Selhurst Park since April 2018. And Palace came within a whisker of snatching a point when Scott Dann's back-post header struck the inside of the post before Chelsea hacked the ball clear.
Harry Maguire scored deep into extra-time as Manchester United overcame valiant 10-man Norwich to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. The England defender, who moments earlier had a header brilliantly saved by Tim Krul, reacted sharply to turn in the loose ball at the far post. The game turned on the dismissal of substitute Timm Klose in the 89th minute. Norwich were in the ascendancy after equalising and looked favourites to snatch a late winner before the German was shown a straight red for pulling back Odion Ighalo.

Both of these sides have enjoyed their life in front of their own fans much more than life on the road this season, but with the match taking place on Coventry’s “home” patch, that gives them the clear advantage in this fixture. The hosts have earned 77% of their points on home soil this season and have won seven of their 11 matches there to date. This, combined with the fact that Lincoln have lost seven of their 11 away matches and average just 0.91 goals per game on the road, suggests that backing a home win is the way to go.
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has held clear-the-air talks with Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. The pair spoke in the wake of City having a two-year ban from European competition overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). City sources stressed their problem was with the process by which they ended up being banned by the investigatory chamber, led by Yves Leterme, not Uefa.
Canada were the runners up in last year’s Davis Cup and are again having a good week in this team tournament. They qualified for the last eight by finishing second behind Australia (already through to the semi-finals) in Group F.

Cardiff have had their problems this season, but Warnock’s side were doing enough at home to guarantee a solid finish this season. The former manager certainly wasn’t fired for his return at home, which has put the Bluebirds in the top three in terms of results at home.

The 34-year-old player is out of contract at the end of the season and the Guardian reports that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is frustrated with the process.
