It costs you nothing.“If you’re driving your car and your car makes a noise, you take it to the mechanic and pay to get it fixed.“If you’re not feeling well, go and see the doctor, because men are scared of going to see the doctor. “It’s bad news, and you can’t go out Saturday night and watch football.“Go get yourself checked out.

      Crystal Palace vs Arsenal prediction: Free betting tips, odds and Premier League preview

      by

      JUST a few days after battling it out in the Carabao Cup, Crystal Palace and Arsenal go toe-to-toe once again in a Selhurst Park Premier League clash.SunSport betting experts have previewed the Saturday evening contest and selected the best bets, tips and exclusive sign-up bonuses from our leading betting partners.Find The Sun’s betting publishing principles hereNew sign-up offersSunSport exclusivesCrystal Palace vs Arsenal previewCan you read too much into the cup clash just the other night? It’s difficult to say you can.For a start, Mikel Arteta made eight changes to his line-up and Palace could and should’ve been more ahead than the 1-0 half time lead.What it maybe did show is Arteta can’t quite trust his fringe players, having hooked two at the break and when holding onto a slender 3-2 lead late on, he had to throw on Gabriel to see the game out.Nobody could’ve predicted Gabriel Jesus’ hat trick. Will that be enough to see him push for a start here? Again, unlikely. As with everything he’s done in an Arsenal shirt, he’s very rarely backed it up with anything of note.Palace hooked Mateta and Eze on the hour mark with a view to this game, which in itself looked an unusual call from a manager who is in charge of a club that wouldn’t mind a cup semi final outing.That result ended Palace’s five-game unbeaten run which showed an upturn in their early season form.First scorer and correct score predictionsCorrect score: 1-1 at 7/1 with Betfred – HEREFirst scorer: Jean-Philippe Mateta at 19/2 with talkSPORT BET – HERECrystal Palace vs Arsenal latest oddsCrystal Palace at 9/2 with William Hill – CLAIM HEREOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.How to claim..William Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Crystal Palace vs Arsenal predictions and tipsLow scoreSeems strange after they played out a 3-2 game the other day.But Arsenal’s usual struggles in front of goal could continue here on the tighter home patch of Crystal Palace and they’ll certainly make the Gunners work hard for any goals.Arsenal struggled to break down Fulham at Craven Cottage and then could’ve played until this weekend against Everton last week without scoring. Two successive, low-scoring draws in the league – it could be three after this.Will he, won’t he?Will Hughes is enjoying something of a rejuvenation at Palace in recent months and looks set to start in what will be a competitive midfield.Arsenal will return to full strength in there come Saturday and his job up against Martin Odegaard could be crucial.Will Hughes to be carded at 23/10 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE*William Hill. 18+.

      Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario spotted furiously berating his own team-mates in stands after howlers against Man Utd

      by

      TOTTENHAM goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was spotted reacting furiously following Fraser Forster’s second howler last night.Ange Postecoglou’s side dumped Manchester United out of the League Cup following a 4-3 thriller in North London.Guglielmo Vicario looked furious in the standsThe livid Spurs No1 is set to be sidelined until FebruarySpurs had been cruising 3-0 on the hour mark thanks to Dominic Solanke’s double and a goal by Dejan Kulusevski.But the Red Devils were gifted a route back into the game following two Forster clangers.The first of the veteran’s errors came on 63 minutes, when he received a pass from stand-in centre-back Archie Gray.Forster attempted to pass the ball to Radu Dragusin with his left foot, but got it all wrong.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBruno Fernandes pounced on the loose pass and squared it across for Joshua Zirkzee to poke home.Just seven minutes later, Forster committed an even worse error.Again receiving a backpass from Gray, the former Celtic stopper took an age to launch a goal kick.By the time he did, Amad Diallo was on him – with the winger sliding in to block the clearance into the net for 3-2.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSVicario remains on crutches following his injury last monthCredit: RexAt this moment, cameras showed Vicario watching on from next to the dugout.The Italian, 28, has been sidelined since fracturing his ankle during the 4-0 win at Manchester City last month.Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou channels his inner Gladiator as he defends his gung-ho tacticsWatching on between Mikey Moore and Destiny Udogie, the Spurs No1 muttered furiously after Man Utd’s second goal.It is unclear whether he was angry at Forster for his errors, or at Spurs defenders for putting the veteran in those situations.Tottenham restored a two-goal advantage on 88 minutes, when Son Heung-min’s brilliant corner looped straight over hapless United deputy stopper Altay Bayindir and in.Jonny Evans nodded United back to 4-3 in stoppage time, but Spurs were able to hold on to book a place in the semi-finals.After the final whistle, Vicario hobbled over to Forster with his crutches.The animated goalkeeper appeared to console his mate on the pitch following the dramatic match.Vicario gives Fraser Forster a pep talkCredit: ReutersThe former England international is Vicario’s understudy at SpursCredit: ReutersVicario is expected to be missing until February at the earliest.Forster will have plenty of opportunities to atone between now and then, ahead of academy products Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman.Asked if he would consider bringing in a free agent goalkeeper in the wake of Vicario’s injury, Postecoglou said last month: “That’s not going to happen. That’s why we’ve got a squad of players here. I don’t think signing a free agent now is going to help us.”Fraser I’ve known for a long time and he’s such a strong character within the group and ready to play. Brandon’s improving all the time and Alfie’s been at the club for a while.READ MORE SUN STORIES”Whenever they’ve been asked, in terms of the training capacity they bring, we’re happy with what we’ve got.”Spurs also have Josh Keeley, who memorably scored in the FA Cup earlier this season, on loan at Leyton Orient – while Luca Gunter, 19, is highly-rated at the club.Ange Postecoglou has backed ForsterCredit: Getty More

Fraser Forster has handed not just one but TWO goals back to Manchester United.Three-nil up and cruising, Forster tried to play out from the back as his manager wants him to but got it all wrong.First, his weak, simple, short pass to Radu Dragusin went straight to Bruno Fernandes who teed up sub Joshua Zirkzee to reduce the deficit.Then, remarkably, Forster had a free-kick played back to him by Archie Gray and despite having acres of space, his touch was heavy and his attempted clearance was deflected into his own net by another sub, Amad Diallo, closing him down.No one could believe it including Ange Postecoglou who had his head in his hands.Ex-Spurs stopper Kasey Keller, who told SunSport this weekend that Postecoglou was wrong to make Forster to play out from the back given it is not his natural game, must have been wincing somewhere.Suddenly, this game has an incredible tension for its denouement when it never needed to.Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-2 Man UtdAnother terrible mistake by Tottenham goalkeeper Fraser Forster!The ball is passed back to Forster and Manchester United sub Amad Diallo chases it.The Spurs keeper takes his sweet old time to clear or switch the ball and Amad slides in front of him to block his clearance before the ball hits the back of the net!Twenty more minutes to go!!!Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-2 Man UtdGoal!Amad Diallo!!!!!Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-1 Man UtdAwful mistake by Tottenham goalkeeper Fraser Forster as he tries to play out the back and gives the ball away to Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.Fernandes passes to Joshua Zirkzee who may have put Man Utd back in the game.Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-1 Man UtdGoal!Man Utd hit back with Joshua Zirkzee!!!Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-0 Man UtdTottenham are sealing their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals!Djed Spence delivers a stunning long ball that releases Dominic Solanke who dances around Lisandro Martinez and Jonny Evans before firing past Altay Bayindir on 54 minutes.Just when Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim was planning three changes!Copy linkCopiedTottenham 3-0 Man UtdGoal!Dominic Solanke makes it three!!!Copy linkCopied More
