Market: Ipswich draw no bet
Odds: 4/6 @
With all eyes falling on Portman Road this weekend, a high-flying Ipswich will welcome Leeds to East Anglia on Saturday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, while Ipswich might have only made their Championship return this season, the Blues are in the midst of yet another remarkable purple patch. Only continuing to gain a string of plaudits from across England’s tiers, Kieran McKenna’s high-flying squad suddenly have their sights firmly set on mounting another promotion charge this time around. Last seen putting in yet another rugged display as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at QPR, the one-time Manchester United coach certainly finds the mood around Portman Road at a red-hot high. Extending on their EFL Cup adventure…
Aston Villa made a fine return to Europe s elite as they began their Champions League campaign with an accomplished 3-0 victory over Swiss club Young Boys on Tuesday.
Villa, European Cup winners in 1982 and playing in UEFA s premier club competition for the first time since 1983, had to survive some early pressure but were good value for their victory once they made the breakthrough.
Youri Tielemans fired Villa in front in the 27th minute after being picked out by John McGinn s deep cross, and Unai Emery s men never looked back from there.
They doubled their advantage 11 minutes later, Mohamed Ali Camara s terrible back pass selling Young Boys goalkeeper David von Ballmoos short and allowing Jacob Ramsey to tap home.
The visitors had goals by Ollie Watkin…
Clarence Seedorf was disheartened by a lack of job offers in Italy after his stint in charge of Milan as he highlighted how few black coaches are working in professional football.
Netherlands great Seedorf spent 14 years of his playing career in Italy, representing Sampdoria, Inter and Milan, the latter of whom he enjoyed a decade with.
He ended his playing days in January 2014 and became Milan s new head coach but was dismissed less than five months later.
Between January 2014 and the end of the season, Milan collected 35 points – the fourth-most in Serie A – and Seedorf won exactly half of his 22 matches in charge across all competitions.
Prior to Seedorf s arrival that season, Milan s haul of 22 points from 19 games was only the 11th best in Serie…

Southgate may not have overseen his landmark fixture if it wasn t for Jude Bellingham s late intervention to send the game to extra-time against Slovakia.

Harry Kane headed England over the line just 50 seconds into extra-time, reaching a tournament quarter-final for a fourth time u…
King Charles has asked England to avoid any more late drama in Euro 2024 after congratulating them on reaching the final.
The Three Lions had to come from behind for the third match in a row, beating the Netherlands 2-1 on Wednesday in the semi-final.
Ollie Watkins picked out the bottom corner in the 90th minute to send them into their first major tournament final on foreign soil.

Watkins strike has set Gareth Southgate s side up for a second consecutive final at the Euros, having suffered heartbreak in a penalty s…
Juventus remain keen on Phillips
