5 games left and a 9 point buffer for the second automatic promotion place. Dont be fooled by Giresunspor's points. they had two wins and 4 draws but have had 3 points deducted.

Stu is out after concussion protocol.

For context, this tweet was put out straight after the Transfer Window Closed. And in that period preceeding were the few games that Lis conceded in.

It's an only a draw, and a 17th clean sheet from Lis, but the third place team lost. Meaning Göztepe increase their distance from the third spot to 11 points. Yorkshire legends Eyüpspor won again, so it will be difficult to get first, but with only 7 games remaining it would be difficult not to get the second automatic promotion spot.

I think that Trabzonspor would be desperate to get him before Göztepe's likely promotion. If he's doing well in the Turkish top flight it makes more sense to do business within the group, rather than assist a rival.

Arda Özçimen is their cup keeper. (and played against Corum FK)

Lis has Played 25, got 16 Clean sheets and Conceded 14 goals. He missed the 27th January match against Corum FK with an illness (Goztepe drew that one 1-1), other than he's played every league game.

8 Games Left in Trendyol Lig 1. Goztepe are in automatic promotion spots, 10 points clear of third. Lis hasn't conceded a goal since January.

Anybody wearing this kit for tomorrow?

My favourite visualisation of where teams get points from. Hull have 5 points from 24 from games against the top 7. admittedly 3 of those 5 are from Leicester on 2nd September, the first game after the Summer Transfer window closed.

Heads up for Traffic. One way system on Inner Ring Road Cruise ship set to depart Ocean Terminal at 6pm which means passenger will be due to the Ship for around 2pm Chinese New Year displays taking place all day in Guildhall square. the roads could well get grid-locked...

If you're driving to the game. Remember there's a 6-Month One Way System implemented around Cumberland Place thats going to affect travelling round the City Centre.

Göztepe 4-0 win today. Another clean sheet for Lis. Nice synergy for the original two SR clubs.

Some visual clarity on how points have developed for the three teams

The record breaking run has taken in 20 league games and been against 19 teams. Yes it hasnt been against either of the Top two, but the Ipswich points deficit is dealt with on April 1st, if we haven't overtaken them before hand.

And it's the first weekend with 3 wins for Sport Republic. Göztepe in Second

3 goal lead re-established

Mean deflection

I'm torn on this one. Watford are obviously a step above Walsall, so too many changes and we risk the unbeaten streak in all competitions, but we also have to give the fringe players minutes. I'd give it a halfway house. 6 Changes. with the ability to bring on regulars at halftime / 60minutes Lumley KWP Bednarek Stephens Manning Charles Rothwell Smallbone SAA Mara Fraser
