Market: Plymouth win
Odds: 19/20 @
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the League One table, Plymouth will make the trip to the Crown Ground on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another toothless display over the weekend, Accrington Stanley find themselves in the midst of a real League One nightmare. Eventually slumping to what could turn out to be a costly 1-0 loss at home against MK Dons, many have tipped John Coleman s side as a leading relegation contender in 2023. Opening up Tuesday s showdown sat one-point adrift in the drop zone, the Lancashire-based outfit will be more than aware that they face a huge challenge here.

Sunderland have loaned defender Santiago Vergini to La Liga side Getafe for the 2015-16 season with a view to a permanent move.
Vergini joined the Premier League outfit on a season-long loan in August last year following a previous spell at the Stadium of Light in the 2013-14 campaign.
The deal became permanent after Vergini made more than 20 appearances last season.
However, head coach Dick Advocaat made it clear the centre-back was not part of his plans for the new season and Vergini will instead attempt to impress at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Mario Balotelli has urged Mamadou Sakho to follow his escape route out of Liverpool and join Nice.
Following a terrible season at Anfield in 2014-15 and a similarly unproductive year back at AC Milan on loan, Balotelli left Liverpool to sign for the Ligue 1 outfit on a free transfer.
The former Manchester City striker has cut a revitalised figure in the south of France, scoring seven times in eight appearances for Lucien Favre s league leaders.
Sakho is yet to feature for Liverpool this season having fallen out of favour with boss Jurgen Klopp on the back of disciplinary problems.
The France centre-back has been linked with a move to Leicester City and West Ham, but Balotelli is keen to share a dressing room with him once more.
What a mess that a…

I will definitely be going in there to give the guys a motivational speech, De La Hoya told the Yahoo! Sports website.

They have the hunger and belief to win the trophy and I think that a few words from my own experiences as an Olympian and a world champion can help them a little bit. …

Jurgen Klopp said it will be impossible for Liverpool to complete their entire festive programme after the proper punch that coronavirus has given professional football.
Thiago Alcantara missed Liverpool s 2-2 Premier League draw with Tottenham on Sunday due to a suspected positive coronavirus test result, as Klopp was left without a raft of key players.
Fabinho, Curtis Jones and Virgil van Dijk were also sidelined after returning suspected positive results ahead of the midweek win over Newcastle United, and captain Jordan Henderson was another absentee due to illness at Tottenham, though he has tested negative for COVID-19.

Harry Kane is keen for his Tottenham Hotspur future to be resolved, .
The England international is on a handsome £60k per week, though is still a long way behind a number of the North London club’s top earners despite winning the Premier League Golden Boot last season.
Negotiations were put on hold last week and Manchester United, who have been continuously linked with a move to secure his services, are monitoring the situation.
Having spent much of the early part of his career out on loan, Kane broke into Tottenham’s first team in the 2011/12 campaign and he has so far racked up one hundred and thirty-five appearances in all competitions, scoring sixty-nine goals.

Lisandro Martinez is set to become Erik ten Hag s third major signing at Manchester United after a deal was agreed on Sunday.
The versatile 24-year-old will follow his former Ajax coach to Old Trafford in a deal that will reportedly cost United €57million (£48million), potentially rising to €67million (£56.5million) with add-ons.

Martinez is primarily a centre-back but has also been known to fill in at left-back and in defensive midfield, with this well-roundedness and his ability on the ball making him an attracti…
Diego Simeone s passion and defence-first tactics make him an ideal fit at Atletico Madrid, according to Hector Herrera.
Herrera played under Simeone at Atleti for three years between 2019 and 2022, winning the 2020-21 LaLiga title with the club before heading to MLS with Houston Dynamo.
Simeone has enjoyed great success since he was appointed at Atleti in 2011, leading them to a pair of league titles, two Europa League trophies as well as two Champions League finals, albeit losing both to city rivals Real Madrid.
The 53-year-old took charge of his 100th Champions League game with Atleti as they won 3-1 away at Feyenoord on Tuesday to clinch a last-16 place. Simeone is one of just three coaches to manage 100 or more Champions League games with the same team, join…
