      The hilarious coincidence left fans in hysterics.
      But one fan took the crown jewel after comparing the former Newcastle ace and ex-Everton manager to Breaking Bad characters commonly known as “The Cousins” despite being twin brothers.
      Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Why are Martinez and Shearer wearing the same clothes tonight🤣.”
      A second said: “Did Shearer & Martinez not discuss what they were wearing before going on TV 🤣.”

      A third joked: “Why have Alan Shearer and Roberto Martínez dressed like Thierry Henry’s evil henchmen… But henchmen with a dress code?”
      Reacting to the Breaking Bad character comparison, one fan said: “Is it just me or Shearer and Roberto Martinez look like two twins that got dressed nicely by their mother to go and visit their granny?!😄.”
      Another said: “Are Alan Shearer and Roberto Martinez twins?”
      While another added: “Alan Shearer and Roberto Martinez stood on top of that house at Kenilworth Road watching the game last night,” after posting an image of Shearer and Martinez next to the twins.

      The duo, named Marco and Leonel Salamanca, are identical twins in the show that wear the same outfit.
      They mainly appear in Season 3 of Breaking Bad and also appear in spin off show Better Call Saul.
      Amazon’s coverage also sparked fan curiosity after they introduced a never-before-seen sub counter.

      Amazon Prime Video introduce never before seen feature and fans are already demanding Sky Sports follow suit

      by

      FOOTBALL fans claim the “future” of viewing has arrived as Amazon Prime brought in the first-ever substitute counter for Wolves’ live TV clash with Burnley.Supporters urged Sky Sports to follow suit after Amazon introduced a discreet tracker above the scoreline in the corner of the screen.

      But it came into play much earlier than second-bottom Burnley would have liked in Tuesday’s Premier League game at Molineux.
      Vincent Kompany’s Clarets were on top until dangerous winger Luca Koleosho hobbled off after 36 minutes.
      On stepped Johann Gudmundsson for the 19-year-old.
      Unlucky Koleosho had netted his first Prem goal just three days earlier in a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

      But his misfortune gave viewers the chance to judge Amazon’s groundbreaking service.
      The tracker shows five little marks above each team – with the number of dashes reducing by one every time a substitution is made.
      And a few fans reckon the counter sets the bench-mark for other broadcasters.
      One posted: “New substitute tracking system on Amazon Prime is very useful actually and surprising that it hasn’t been introduced sooner.
      Most read in Football

      “Amazon again showing to be superior to other platforms and surely must be the future of Premier League coverage.”
      A second observer wrote: “I like that sub counter Prime Video have… It’s something Sky have to think about implementing too.”
      But others suggested the tracker was unnecessary.
      One said: “Amazon just introduced a sub counter on Wolves vs Burnley. Can’t say I’ve ever sat here wondering how many subs a team has left.”
      And this was a similar view: “I have never ever in my life watching football for over 40 years wondered how many subs are left. ”  More

      For clarity, you don’t have to predict the exact outcomes of all five games to land the top prize – that would be asking too much – you simply have to outscore your rivals, meaning somebody must win.
      Some of our previous winners this season landed amazing prizes having submitted their predictions in ten seconds through sheer gut instinct – it takes no time at all to play and it’s completely free.
      In the spirit of transparency, here are our predictions for Matchweek 16’s fixtures…
      Nottingham Forest v Everton
      These two teams would be separated by just one point in the table had the Toffees not been deducted ten for their financial indiscretions.
      Strangely, both teams will be happy this fixture is set to take place at the City Ground.
      Steve Cooper’s side are significantly better on familiar soil while Sean Dyche’s troops are notably most effective on the road – only four Premier League teams have earned more points away from home this season.
      Most read in Football
      Everton had suffered just one defeat in six prior to their 3-0 defeat to Manchester United while Forest have won one of their last nine, albeit an impressive victory over high-flying Aston Villa.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Everton
      All eyes on Andre Onana ahead of Man United’s trip to St James’ ParkCredit: Getty
      Newcastle v Manchester United
      Improbably, the Red Devils are the most in-form team in the top flight right now having won five of their last six league games.
      However, the Old Trafford faithful will know better than anyone that the nature of the performances have not been particularly convincing.
      Plus, Erik ten Hag’s side have repeatedly collapsed in the Champions League of late.
      As for the Magpies, they’re in the midst of an injury crisis but a 4-1 win over Chelsea at St James’ Park last time out in the Premier League proved they still have the capacity for emphatic results.
      Both teams are likely to be fatigued from their respective midweek efforts but Eddie Howe’s men have an extra day to recover and the luxury of home advantage on Saturday night.
      No team has earned more points at home than Newcastle this campaign.
      Our Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle
      Will the real Chelsea please stand up?Credit: PA
      Chelsea v Brighton
      The Blues have been up and down like a yo-yo of late.
      They went toe-to-toe in entertaining draws with Arsenal and Manchester City either side of a 4-1 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but they’ve also recently lost at home to Brentford while Mauricio Pochettino said their most recent performance (the aforementioned defeat to Newcastle) was their worst of the season.
      It’s hard to know which Chelsea will turn up on Sunday.
      As for the Seagulls, they’re unbeaten in their last six games in all competitions but, at the same time, their win over Forest last weekend was their first in the league since September.
      Unsurprisingly, Roberto De Zerbi’s have registered the joint-most draws in the top flight this term.
      Chelsea have earned just six points from seven league fixtures at Stamford Bridge, giving them a worse home record than Fulham, Wolves and Bournemouth.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw
      Liverpool have a 100% home record in the league this seasonCredit: Alamy
      Liverpool v Fulham
      This should be more straightforward as the Reds have won all six of their home league games this season, conceding just two goals in the process.
      Jurgen Klopp’s side average a fraction under three goals per game at Anfield.
      Marco Silva’s side have fared well against teams around them in the table but they’ve generally rolled over against the stronger sides.
      Our Prediction: 3-0 to Liverpool

      Manchester City v Tottenham
      Spurs have been something of a bogey side for Pep Guardiola in recent years – five of his last eight meetings with them have ended in defeat.
      However, the departed Harry Kane was a central figure in most those upsets.
      Ange Postecoglou’s side have lost three in row amid a flurry of injuries but they enjoyed spells of supremacy in all those defeats and their fans remain hopeful of a positive campaign.
      Son Heung-min and company should ask plenty of questions of a City defence who have failed to keep as many clean sheets as they would have liked this season but it’s the other end of the pitch that will concern the visiting fans.
      The prospect of Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and friends being unleashed upon a back four made up exclusively of full-backs seemingly only ends one way.
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Man City

      In the spirit of transparency, here are our predictions for Matchweek 15’s fixtures…
      Manchester City v Liverpool
      A modern classicCredit: Dream Team
      The weekend’s main event gets us underway this Saturday lunchtime.
      Most read in Football
      Pep Guardiola’s side are currently top of the table, one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s mob, and most of the the recent meetings between these two enterprising sides have been thrilling affairs.
      The treble-winners won this same fixture 4-1 last season but fans of both sides would probably agree the Reds are more functional this this campaign.
      Saying that, City average a shade under two and a half goals per league game against Liverpool at home since the start of 2020.
      The hosts have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last six league games and they shipped four to Chelsea last time out so the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz will feel confident of some success in the final third.
      Let’s try manifest a brilliant game to celebrate the end of the international break.
      Our Prediction: 3-2 to Man City
      Kieran Trippier made it clear to Newcastle fans that injuries were a factor at BournemouthCredit: Rex
      Newcastle v Chelsea
      Were it not for the clash at the Etihad, this could easily have been the standout fixture of the weekend.
      St James’ Park is a difficult place to go but the Magpies felt the impact of their injury list away to Bournemouth in their most recent encounter, a 2-0 defeat on the south coast saw them drop to seventh.
      Mauricio Pochettino’s men will have taken much heart from their games against Spurs and City – four points from those two match-ups represents something of a turning point.
      There’s nothing between these two in the form guide with both clubs having won two, drawn two and lost one in their last five.
      Injury updates from Eddie Howe’s press conference may change the outlook but for now…
      Our Prediction: 1-1 draw
      Arsenal’s defence has been solid this seasonCredit: Getty
      Brentford v Arsenal
      The Gunners have scored seven more goals than the Bees this season but the underlying numbers suggest the two attacking units are closer than some would expect.
      Thomas Frank’s side have actually generated more expected goals (xG) than Arsenal, meaning they’re marginally ahead from a creative perspective but notably less clinical when it comes to putting the ball in the net.
      There’s a big difference in defence though as Mikel Arteta’s side are statistically the best the top flight has to offer right now, having conceded ten goals from 9.2 expected goals allowed.
      Brentford’s slightly inefficient attack against the league’s tightness defence should favour the visitors but we still fancy the hosts to give their fans something to celebrate.
      All that being said, Arsenal are one point off top spot while Brentford are in the bottom half so we’re inclined to back Bukayo Saka and company to get the job done on the road.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Arsenal
      Spurs have several key absenteesCredit: Reuters
      Tottenham v Aston Villa
      Another fascinating match-up on paper.
      Only City have scored more goals than the Villains this season but Unai Emery’s men are nowhere near as potent away from home.
      Ange Postecoglou’s side are equally dynamic in attack at full capacity but, like Newcastle, they’re hindered by a host of absentees with James Maddison and Micky van de Ven being major losses.
      Spurs’ injuries and Villa’s away record suggest both sides may be short of their best on Sunday but this game still has all the makings of another end-to-end thriller.
      The prospect of Ollie Watkins and Moussa Diaby against a high defensive line is an enticing one but we could just as easily see Son Heung-min running in behind Ezri Konsa and Pau Torres.
      Our Prediction: 2-2 draw

      Everton will be highly motivated in front of their home fans on SundayCredit: Getty
      Everton v Manchester United
      The Toffees’ recent points deduction should give this clash a unique atmosphere.
      Sean Dyche will hope to make use of a siege mentality at Goodison Park to extend his side’s improved form – they’ve lost just one of their last six games in all competitions.
      Dominic Calvert-Lewin has rediscovered something close to his most effective form, backed by an energetic midfield that is capable of upsetting teams prone to capitulations, which has to include this current version of the Red Devils.
      Erik ten Hag’s have actually won four of their last five league games but unconvincing performances against Luton, Fulham and Sheffield United failed to inspire much confidence.
      Recent blow-ups against Copenhagen, Man City, a second-string Newcastle (Carabao Cup) and Galatasaray have put the Dutch tactician under pressure.
      The combination of a highly-motivated Everton at home to a United side with a vulnerable underbelly leads us to a semi-bold prediction.
      Our Prediction: 2-1 to Everton

      Score Predictor is completely free to play and it’s particularly fun to directly compete against your mates in Mini Leagues.
      It’s the season of goodwill after all, so here are our predictions for the five games you have to predict this week.
      England v Malta – Friday November 17
      This one should be a formality and the tricky part is surely guessing how many England will score.
      The reverse fixture was a 4-0 win over in Malta, helping England to 19 goals in just the six games played in this qualification group.
      The seven goals scored against North Macedonia helped with that, and pointless Malta aren’t as much of a test.
      Superstar Jude Bellingham misses out but there’s now a huge competition for places, so even a change in team shouldn’t prevent goals going in.
      Our prediction: England 6 Malta 0
      Harry Kane celebrates with Alexander-Arnold in 4-0 win over Malta

      Netherlands v Ireland – Saturday November 18
      Netherlands are in a battle for second spot with Greece as the pair sit on the same points.
      Greece have played a game more, though, so a win here should just about wrap that up for the Dutch.
      They’ve only won two of their last six internationals at home which isn’t great form – particularly with the wins coming against Greece and Gibraltar.
      But the Irish are just desperate for qualification to be over, picking up just six points from their six games.
      Reverse game was narrow 2-1 Dutch win, this could be more.
      Our prediction: Netherland 3 Ireland 0
      Armenia v Wales – Saturday November 18
      Armenia have lost their last three games – with Wales winning their last three.
      Armenia picked up a shock 4-2 win when the sides last met earlier in the group and the Welsh must surely be out for revenge.
      Wales sit in second in the group – joint on 10 points with Croatia – and need a win here to maintain that.
      Armenia still have it all to play for too just three points behind, but could fall short here.
      Our prediction: Armenia 1 Wales 2
      Scotland v Norway – Sunday November 19
      This game will be party time for Scotland and their supporters, with the first home game since clinching qualification.
      Might still have top spot to fight for depending on results earlier in the week and a win might well be needed.
      Norway have nothing to play for and the raucous Hampden support will help Steve Clarke’s fringe players push on again.
      Our prediction: Scotland 2 Norway 0
      Scotland boss Steve Clarke
      North Macedonia v England – Monday November 20
      Again, could be a matter of how many, team dependant.
      A good result in Malta game might see Southgate make one or two changes but squad deep enough to win this one quite comfortably.
      The hosts will want to avenge the 7-0 from earlier in the group and will not want lightning striking twice.
      Our prediction: North Macedonia 0 England 4

      Premier League matches could be shown on new channel as battle for £300m live TV rights hots up

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE matches could soon be shown on a new channel as the auctions for live rights looks set to hot up.Top-flight chiefs are allegedly looking at offering an “expanded fifth package of games” to broadcasters.
      A new channel is looking to purchase the rights to screen Premier League matchesCredit: Getty
      They will include “several complete midweek rounds” plus Sunday clashes involving teams featuring in the Europa League.
      And the Daily Mail claims that streaming service DAZN “are expected to target the Premier League matches currently owned by Amazon Prime” in the bidding process.
      Amazon pay around £90m for 60 live matches in three seasons over the festive period currently.
      But it emerged in the summer that all Sunday games will be screened for the very first time for the start of the 2025/26 campaign which has led “to greater interest from broadcasters”.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      This new update says that “Amazon were effectively given their first set of live rights at a discount by the Premier League six years ago in order to draw them into the market”.
       They also got fortunate when the 2019 to 2022 domestic TV deal was extended on the same terms due to the Covid-19 pandemic, allowing them to keep screening games on the cheaper rate.
      Now the Premier League are “looking for a significant increase from the current £5billion three-year domestic deal” in the next rights auction due to the number of matches available increasing to 270 from 2000.
      The cheapest package available is set to be for around £300m-a-year – which has allegedly led to doubts over whether Amazon will want to fork out that much.

      But DAZN “are understood to view the expanded Amazon pack as more attainable than the primetime Saturday and Sunday packages” – with Sky Sports and TNT Sports set to retain them.
      Ukrainian-born British businessman Len Blavatnik launched DAZN in 2016.
      They have grown massively over recent years and expanded into a number of sports.

      Now this report claims that they “are ready to make a serious bid for the Premier League’s UK rights” for the very first time. 
      DAZN currently broadcast our top-flight matches to viewers in Spain and the Women’s Champions League in this country.

      Premier League set to be shown on new channel from 2025 – while current broadcaster could AXE their football coverage

      PREMIER LEAGUE fixtures could be shown on DAZN from 2025, according to reports.Meanwhile, current broadcaster Amazon are said to be ready to end their football coverage.

      Premier League TV rights for 2025 to 2029 are set to go on sale soon.
      Streaming giants DAZN will be in the bidding this time but it is unclear if they will be able to match Sky and TNT offers.
      However, the Mail also claim that Amazon are considering pulling out of showing football.
      They have been involved in Prem coverage since 2019 and have shown 20 games per season in a three-year deal worth £90m, or £1.5m each game.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      But their deal finishes at the end of the 2024/25 season and the report claims they are not expected to continue their interest.
      This is amid Premier League chiefs planning a reshape to the way they sell TV rights to make more money.
      In the next batch of sales they hope to make £4bn-a-year, an increase from the current £3.47bn.
      A document will soon be reportedly sent to channels informing them of the supposed changes.
      Most read in Football

      Four-year deals that run from 2025 to 2029 will be on offer, as opposed to the three-year contracts currently in place.
      There is currently 200 games on TV per season and the amount is set to rise to between 250 and 270.
      Despite the increase in matches for fans to watch, there will be fewer packages for channels to bid for with five set to be available rather than seven.
      The extra games per package means all broadcasters will be able to show viewers a more “substantial offering”.
      There could also allegedly be an impact on kick-off times.
      Additional Friday night, Saturday lunchtime and evening, as well as Monday night games are set to be available for channels to acquire.
      There could also supposedly be three slots for matches on Sundays but not necessarily a late evening position previously discussed.
      Sky currently pay £9.8m for each game they show with TNT less at £6.25m. More

      Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime hold talks over shock new Premier League documentary

      by

      THE Premier League’s main UK broadcasters have held talks over a new documentary on the lives of top-flight referees.A fresh report has claimed that an “independent production company are understood to have pitched the programme” to the three domestic rights holders.
      A new documentary on the life of Premier League referees could be in the pipelineCredit: Getty
      And Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime have already discussed the prospect, says the Daily Mail.
      However, they also add that the Professional Game Match Officials Limited [PGMOL] are yet to sign it off.
      Ex-Premier League referee Howard Webb was appointed as the PGMOL’s first chief refereeing officer last year.
      And he has attempted to make the body more open and “may be receptive to the idea” of the doc. 
      READ MORE FOOTBALL
      Webb recently linked up with Michael Owen in the newly launched Match Officials Mic’d Up programme, explaining controversial VAR and refereeing decisions using audio from in-game conversations between officials.
      The premise of the documentary pitch is believed to be “an attempt to humanise referees”.
      It is also hoping to give football fans a better understanding of how officials carry out their duties and the pressures they face.
      The would-be producers want to film referee training sessions as well as pre and post-game meetings.

      But the Premier League would also need to give their approval as producer want to use unseen footage from games.
      The Mail says that a source close to the referees said: “It’s a great idea.
      “It would show a different side to them. How hard it is. The pressure they’re under.
      “To officiate a Premier League is not easy. One error and you’re vilified. So something such as this might help people see a different side to officials.” More
