Stryktipset 14/4 Stryktipset 14/4 Det börjar dra ihop sig i både Premier League och The Championship. Även om det inte finns så mycket spänning i den högsta seriens titelfajt är det ett riktigt getingbo kring nedflyttningsstrecket. Kupongens riktiga höjdare är dock lördagens kvällsmatch (20.45) mellan Tottenham och Manchester City. Sammanlagt bjuds vi på sex matcher från Premier League, sex möten från The Championship samt en intressant allsvensk fajt. Dessutom ligger jackpotten på höga 13 miljoner kronor! Spelstopp: 15.59 1. Tottenham - Manchester City 1 Manchester City hade möjligheten att säkra ligatiteln i helgens ligaderby mot Manchester United. Istället tappade Pep Guardiolas mannar 2-0 till 2-3 och därmed krävs det två segrar till för att säkra titeln helt. Nu väntar dock en riktigt lurig match när de åker till London för att möta seriens mest formstarka lag, Tottenham. Spurs har spelat 14 raka ligamatcher utan förlust. Senaste torsken kom mot just City i mitten av december. Det var dock ett annat City då. Räknar man med Champions League-fajterna mot Liverpool har City förlorat tre raka matcher. Tottenham är definitivt laget i form och ska ha utgångstecknet här. Dock streckas de för högt. Det är trots allt de överlägsna serieledarna som står på andra sidan plan. Det ska garderas tidigt. 1X på mindre system, alla tecken på större. 2. Burnley - Leicester 1 Burnley har verkligen hittat formen igen. Skadeläget har ljusnat och nu saknas egentligen bara långtidsskadade Defour och Brady. Det har gjort att The Clarets tagit fyra raka segrar i Premier League. För tillfället ligger Burnley sjua, fem poäng bakom Arsenal och sex poäng före Leicester. Just Leicester kommer på besök här. The Foxes saknar återigen avstängda Ndidi men har visat upp ett starkt kontringsspel i sina senaste bortafajter. Burnley är dock inget lag det är så lätt att kontra på. Även de föredrar att ligga lågt och satsa på snabba omställningar. Det är svårtippat här i en match mellan två lag där ingen vill ha bollinnehavet. Med Burnleys senaste segersvit i åtanke får hemmalaget dock utgångsettan. Den streckas dock för hårt så det ska garderas. 3. Crystal Palace - Brighton 1 Crystal Palace har förlorat tre raka hemmamatcher. Dessa har spelats mot Liverpool, Tottenham och Manchester United och varje gång har Crystal Palace varit väl så bra men släppt in det avgörande målet precis i slutskedet av matchen. Nya tag nu när Brighton kommer på besök och det är ett motstånd som borde passa The Eagles betydligt bättre. Brighton gör visserligen en stark säsong som nykomlingar men på bortaplan har de haft det tufft. Under säsongen har The Seagulls bara vunnit två bortafajter i ligaspelet. Här blir det ännu en bortaförlust. I fågelmötet kör örnarna över måsarna. Ettan är en bra spik. 4. Huddersfield - Watford 2 Watford har haft enorma skadeproblem under hela säsongen men ändå gjort det så bra så att Premier League-kontraktet i praktiken är säkrat. Den senaste månaden har dock varit tung för The Hornets. De senaste fyra matcherna har inneburit en poäng och tolv insläppta mål. Åtta av dessa insläppta mål kom borta mot Liverpool och Arsenal. Nu väntar ett betydligt enklare motstånd. Huddersfield är en annan nykomling som gjort en stark säsong men efter bara två poäng på sina fem senaste matcher har Hudds nu bara fyra poäng ner till Southampton under strecket. Dessutom har The Saints en match mindre spelad. Hemma på Kirklees Stadium har Huddersfield bara förlorat sex av 16 matcher i ligan men här blir de alldeles för övervärderade. Watford har en betydligt starkare trupp och en högre kapacitet i laget. Skrälltvåan lockar klart mest. Men gardera. 5. Liverpool - Bournemouth 1 Liverpool slog ut Manchester City med sammanlagt 5-1 och har gått till semifinal i Champions League. Den fruktade offensiven med Salah, Firmino och Mané vräker in mål varje gång de spelar tillsammans. Nu är det ligaspel som gäller och där har Liverpool visst häng på andraplatsen. The Reds är det enda laget i serien som fortfarande är obesegrade på hemmaplan. Bournemouth är ett stabilt mittengäng som verkligen etablerat sig i den högsta serien. Med kvalitetsspelare som King, Defoe och Wilson är The Cherries inte lätta att ha att göra med. Nu väntar dock ett övermäktigt motstånd. Kan Liverpool bara göra en normalgod insats vinner de detta enkelt. Säker etta! 6. Swansea - Everton 1 Swansea har haft ett par tuffa veckor med tre raka bortamatcher. Dessa fajter har gett walesarna sammanlagt två poäng. Därmed är de i allra högsta grad fortfarande indraget i bottenstriden. Hemma på Liberty Stadium har det sett desto bättre ut. De fyra senaste matcherna där har alla slutat med segrar. Skulle hemmalaget ta tre poäng även här blir det första gången på 37 år som Swansea tar fem raka segrar på hemmaplan. Everton har efter en katastrofal start på säsongen hämtat sig och ligger på den övre halvan i tabellen. På bortaplan har de dock inte firat några större triumfer denna säsong. Endast två av 16 bortamatcher har vunnits av The Toffees. Hemmastarka Swansea ska vara det mer motiverade laget och får också utgångstipset. Möjlig chansspik. 7. Middlesbrough - Bristol City 1 Vilken streckmatch det är som väntar i Middlesbrough under lördagen. Hemmalaget har tappat sin säkra playoff-plats efter att bara ha vunnit en av sina fem senaste matcher. Hemma på Riverside Stadium är de dock starka med 15 poäng på sina sex senaste försök. Leadbitter är avstängd här men trots det kan Middlesbrough ställa upp med en stark elva. Bristol City har ännu sämre form, inte minst på bortaplan. The Robins har fortfarande inte vunnit på resande fot under hela 2018. Trots det har de bara en poäng upp till Middlesbrough och tre poäng upp till Millwall som för tillfället ligger sexa i tabellen. Efter denna matchen lär avståndet ha ökat. Middlesbrough bör kunna avfärda ett formsvagt Bristol City. Ettan spikas. 8. Norwich - Cardiff 2 Cardiff har, trots fullgoda insatser, bara tagit en poäng på sina tre senaste matcher. Det har lett till att walesarna tappat sin andraplats som innebär direktuppflyttning till Premier League. Det skiljer dock bara en poäng till Fulham och The Bluebirds har en match mindre spelad. Med tanke på Fulhams senaste form bör Cardiff vinna resten för att plocka andraplatsen bakom Wolves. Norwich borta är dock ingen lätt uppgift. Kanariefåglarna har börjat hitta spelet igen, åtminstone hemma på Carrow Road där de bara förlorat en av sina sju senaste matcher. Som bottenlag har Norwich ingenting att spela för så mest motivation borde finnas hos bortalaget. Tvåan blir därför utgångstecknet. Men här krävs det alla tecken. 9. Barnsley - Bolton 1 Det hetaste bottenmötet på kupongen går av stapeln på Oakwell när Barnsley tar emot Bolton. Innan denna match spelas ligger Barnsley under strecket med 37 poäng och Bolton över strecket med 39 poäng. Barnsley har dock en match mindre spelad. Skulle The Tykes förlora här skulle det med största sannolikhet innebära att Barnsley får börja om i League One nästa år. Vid vinst ser det betydligt bättre ut. Det finns också en hel del som pekar på hemmavinst. Bolton visar usel form med fyra raka förluster i ligan. Dessutom är de seriens sämsta bortalag med endast elva poäng på 21 matcher. Barnsley gjorde en stark insats i sin senaste hemmamatch mot Sheffield United och är inte dåliga på Oakwell. Ettan är en vettig spik på en i övrigt klurig kupong. 10. Nottingham - Ipswich X På Nottinghams arena, City Ground, möts två lag som helt verkar ha glömt av hur man gör mål. Nottingham har inte gjort ett enda mål på sina sex senaste matcher. Tre av dessa har slutat 0-0. Det har gjort att Forest sjunker i tabellen, men med nio poäng ner till Barnsley borde det inte krävas speciellt många poäng till för att säkra nytt kontrakt. Ipswich har gått mållösa av planen i fem av sina sju senaste ligamatcher. Senast vann de hemma mot Barnsley men i sina tre senaste bortamatcher har The Tractor Boys förlorat med 0-1. Det kommer bli tätt och målsnålt även här. 0-0 känns som ett extremt troligt resultat och därför ska krysset ritas dit först. Tänkbart spikkryss på mindre system, 1X på större. 11. QPR - Preston 1 Preston tog sista chansen att hänga på i playoff-jakten när de besegrade Leeds med 3-1 på hemmaplan. Det gör att The Lilywhites nu har fem poäng upp till Millwall på sjätteplatsen. Preston behöver dock dessutom ta sig förbi fem stycken lag och med endast fyra omgångar kvar att spela är frågan om ens fyra raka segrar räcker till det. Queens Park Rangers har absolut ingenting att spela för men har ändå sett starka ut på sistone. Åtminstone hemma på Loftus Road där de tagit tre raka segrar. På de två senaste hemmamatcherna har The Hoops gjort åtta mål. Preston har faktiskt vunnit de tre senaste mötena mellan lagen men QPR känns som det för tillfället klart starkaste laget. Ettan är ett givet tecken att ha med på kupongen. Den streckas dock något för hårt så på större system är det idé att ta med krysset som det finns fint värde i. 12. Reading - Sunderland 1 Sunderland fick bara en poäng i den viktiga hemmamatchen mot Norwich efter att Ivo Pinto kvitterat till 1-1 med bara några få minuter kvar att spela. En poäng räcker inte för The Black Cats som har sex poäng upp till säker mark med endast fyra omgångar kvar att spela. Nu krävs det seger mot Reading om de ska ha minsta chans att klara sig kvar i The Championship. Reading är också indraget i bottenstriden med bara fem poäng tillgodo på Barnsley under strecket. Hemma på Madejski Stadium har The Royals tagit två raka 1-0 segrar.

  • Premier League, 2018–2019
    Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected].

  • FOI 5185-19 Arrests Rugy Matches September 2019
    The number of incidents reported and the number of arrests made at rugby league matches (or on matchdays) in 2019 so far. If possible then please detail what each incident was, the date it took place, and which venue. The venues I’m especially interested in data for are; Headingley Stadium, Leeds; Belle Vue, Wakefield; John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield; The Jungle, Castleford. If possible, the number of incidents reported and arrests made at these venues between 2014-2018, and as a yearly breakdown for each venue. Please see the attached document showing the number of incidents which have occurred at the specified locations. The dates have been provided in order for you to determine whether this was a rugby league match day as this is not routinely recorded.
