Newport County vs Manchester City: Michael Flynn tells talkSPORT he’s dreaming of FA Cup giant killing
Newport County manager Michael Flynn is dreaming of guiding his side to the biggest giant killing in recent FA Cup history when the Welsh club host Manchester City this weekend.The 15^th placed team in League Two take on the defending Premier League champions on Saturday in a true David versus Goliath cup tie – LIVE on talkSPORT!Few are giving the Exiles much hope, especially with Man City in such ruthless form of late. Having thumped League One Burton Albion 9-0 in the Carabao Cup, many are expecting another mauling.But Newport are on a run of their own, with two shock victories over Leicester City in the third round and then Middlesbrough via a replay in the fourth.2They also gained a number of neutral fans when they held Tottenham to a 1-1 draw in the fourth round last season, forcing a memorable replay trip to Wembley which ended in a 2-0 defeat to Spurs.City are the next team to come to town and, while few will give the Exiles a chance, boss Flynn is confident his side will not lie down against Pep Guardiolas superstars.Its going to be difficult, Im under no illusions whatsoever about how difficult its going to be, he said on Fridays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Theyre arguably the best team in Europe and I think theyve got the best manager in the world at the moment in Pep Guardiola.It really is David versus Goliath.You look at the finance difference between the clubs, the facilities and everything but you never know. Its the FA Cup and stranger things have happened.2I hope they bring a strong team. I want to pit ourselves against the best Man City. I want to see how we do against Pep Guardiola in a tactical battle and how we can manage them.“Lets show what were about and lets have a go at them. Well be having a go at them, the pitch will be a little bit different to what theyre used to.“I just hope a few of them have an off day and all my players play to the best of their ability, because if that happens at Rodney Parade weve got a chance.Theyre littered with so much quality, but its a chance for our players to stand up and be counted. I know youre probably thinking, Has he lost the plot here? Is he actually thinking they can do something? But If I dont think that then how are my players going to believe that?Ive got to lead them the right way and give them the belief that if they can play the game of their lives they can stop the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne.Lets not forget a lot of them marked Harry Kane out of the game for long periods, the players have that ability when theyre on their game.Listen back to Newport County manager Michael Flynn on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!

Harry Kane injury latest: Mauricio Pochettino admits Tottenham Hotspur will have a ‘massive problem’ if striker picked up injury against Manchester United
Mauricio Pochettino admitted Tottenham Hotspur will be in serious trouble if Harry Kane picked up an ankle injury against Manchester United.The striker was caught accidentally during the closing stages at Wembley, as Spurs searched desperately for an equaliser.2Marcus Rashford scored what proved to be the winner in the first half as United held on to win 1-0, with David De Gea deserving much of the plaudits.While the result will certainly sting for Spurs, the thought of losing their talisman will terrify the Argentine, who watched helplessly from the sidelines as Kane winced and grimaced on the turf in a heap.Although the 26-year-old eventually hobbled off the pith without any assistance, Pochettino admitted there was already swelling on his ankle.“We will assess him,” Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino toldSky Sports.2 “It was a bad tackle in the last moment. It wasn’t their intention but it was a bad tackle.“He is a little bit swollen and we need to assess it in the next few days. I hope it is not a big issue.“It is worrying because we are going to lose [Heung-Min] Son to the Asian Cup, and if Harry Kane suffers some issue it is going to be a massive problem.”

• Every single shot is awarded an xG value based on the difficulty of the attempt, with factors including distance from goal, type of shot and number of defenders present affecting the value.
• The higher the xG of a particular shot, the more likely a goal should be scored from that shot.
• The xG value of every shot in a game is then used to calculate the expected goals in a particular match.

BATE Borisov 0-1 Chelsea: Olivier Giroud strike helps Blues labour to win and book place in Europa League knockouts
Olivier Giroud put an end to his goalscoring drought of 794 minutes as Chelsea booked their place in the Europa League knockout stages with a 1-0 victory away to BATE Borisov.The result sees the Blues continue their 100 per cent start to the competition – securing three 1-0 wins – in a game that was played in difficult conditions and was memorable only for Giroud scoring his first Blues goal since May.5BATE, comfortably beaten last month in London, struck the woodwork three times and Eden Hazard’s services were required for longer than anticipated in Belarus.Seven changes were made to the side which last Sunday beat Crystal Palace 3-1, with Hazard starting for the first time since the draw with Manchester United on October 20.Blues head coach Maurizio Sarri left David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso and in-form striker Alvaro Morata at home, with one eye on Everton this Sunday, saying Hazard would feature for 45 or 50 minutes.Chelsea were 2-0 up after eight minutes two weeks ago, but BATE were a different proposition here, just a few days after wrapping up a 13th successive Belarusian league title.5The hosts came close to taking a 12th-minute lead. Dmitri Baga beat Kepa Arrizabalaga with a fine drive from 30 yards, which shook the goalkeeper’s left-hand post.A corner soon afterwards was headed on by Stanislav Dragun, with Kepa scrambling clear.Hazard, unsurprisingly, was involved in Chelsea’s best moves early on, but there were few chances of note.Giroud had an effort deflected wide after a neat turn from Ross Barkley’s pass and the France striker later headed wide with a difficult chance from a Hazard cross. Chelsea had plenty of possession, but too often poor crosses from Davide Zappacosta or one touch too many from Ruben Loftus-Cheek saw attacks end.As the game clicked into the 51st minute, Hazard was fouled and sent the resulting free-kick soaring out of play beyond the far post.It was indicative of a frustrating night for Chelsea; their playmaker had been due to be off by then, the result decided.Sarri was gesticulating wildly in his technical area, his sense of urgency building, and within moments Chelsea were in front.5Jorginho fed left-back Emerson Palmieri who, unlike Zappacosta, found his man with the cross.Giroud’s downward header at the near post had enough power to beat Denis Scherbitski, but the goalkeeper should have done better.If Chelsea thought their night would become more straightforward from that moment, it did not.A hefty touchline challenge by Maksim Skavysh sent Hazard into his own dugout, the Belgian rising gingerly.And then BATE struck the woodwork for a second time when Dragun’s shot was diverted on to the crossbar by Nikolai Signevich.5Aleksei Rios blasted over soon afterwards, when more composure would have led to an equaliser.Hazard shot straight at Scherbitski, who next saved a Giroud header.Hazard had been withdrawn by then, seven minutes later than promised by Sarri.Barkley shot over and Jorginho off target and Evgeni Berezkin fired wide for the hosts, who strove for an equaliser until the end.Even Scherbitski came up for a stoppage time corner and in the ensuing scramble Baga hit the post.5Chelsea were relieved to see the ball rebound clear as they held on to qualify with two matches to spare and extend their unbeaten run to 17 games, since August’s Community Shield loss to Manchester City.

Arsenal should drop Petr Cech for Bernd Leno in Europa League final against Chelsea, says David Seaman
David Seaman believes Arsenal should drop Petr Cech for the Europa League final against Chelsea, amid reports the veteran goalkeeper will return to Stamford Bridge this summer.Cech, who made over 400 appearances in 11 seasons for the Blues, has described the Arsenal vs Chelsea final as the perfect end to his playing career, having confirmed earlier this season he will hang up his gloves this summer.Getty2The 37-year-old has played the majority of the Gunners European games this season, despite Bernd Leno taking his place as the clubs regular number one this term.But it is unclear if he will keep his place for the final in Baku, with manager Unai Emery keeping his options open ahead of the all-English European clash.Recent rumours that Cech will move back to London rivals Chelsea this summer to become their new sporting director have also cast doubt on his place in the side.And club legend Seaman insists the Gunners must field their strongest possible XI against the Blues, meaning Leno should start the game.Getty2He told Wednesdays Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: I know Cech has played all the games but in a final like that, especially against Chelsea…Arsenal need to win this game to get into the Champions League. Its a huge game and worth millions to the club.So, for me, you play your strongest team and if that means Leno plays then thats what I would do.I know Arsene Wenger did it with me. Richard Wright played all the FA Cup games and then played me in the final.

Manchester City vs Chelsea ‘is a final’ says Pep Guardiola as he celebrates replacing Liverpool at top of the Premier League
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City’s Premier League game against Chelsea is a cup final.City’s manager was buzzing having watched his sideusurp Liverpool at the top of the Premier League for the first time in two months with a 2-0 win against Everton.Goals from Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus earned them all three points, meaning they are above their title rivals on goal difference, having played one match more.2Five weeks ago City beat Liverpool 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to avoid falling ten points behind and the pressure is back on Jurgen Klopp’s side, who play Bournemouth on Saturday, 24 hours before City host Chelsea.“It’s a question for [Liverpool]. We are leaders. Twelve games to play, a lot of points,” said Guardiola when asked what his side going top of the table meant.“Now comes a big test, a big goal. Chelsea are an exceptional team who have had seven days to prepare.“We have to prepare well. It really is a final for us this weekend. If we are able to take these points, it is a huge step forward.” Guardiola praised his side for their persistence in never giving up when their title dream looked over at the start of January.“The reality is we could have been, one month ago, 10 points behind when we played Liverpool,” he added.“A few days ago we could have been seven points behind. Now we are top of the league.“The lesson is never give up. That is the best advice. That is a lesson for all athletes. Try to win the games, because life can change immediately.”2City were far from their fluent best at Goodison Park, where they found Everton’s 4-4-1-1 system tough to break down.However, they found a way to win – helped by the Toffees conceding their 17th goal from a set-piece (excluding penalties) – and Guardiola had nothing but praise.“Always the application is there,” he added. “The performance is not as good as we expect.
