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.

Scenes in Valenciennes today then...

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

First away game where we scored more than two, this season. Both goals scored, and goals against currently more favourable numbers than Ipswich. Great position to be in. It's almost a shame to have to have a break to play a cup match.

@ChristopheVAFC do the managers rest key players in the cup like in England? was the Paris team similar to the one that narrowly beat Valenciennes 1-0 last year in the league?

Get a win, and we'll either be closer to Leicester, Ipswich or Both on points by the end of Monday night. What we do need is to have this be the start of our Away scoring matching our home scoring. Home: Played 14, scored 34 (2.43 goals for per game) Away: Played 13 Scored 16 (1.23 goals for per game) We now have the best defensive record in the league over the last 20 games (joint with West Brom) of only conceding 14. We start scoring two away from home per game, thats most of the job done.

Athletic said he was West Hams highest paid player. it sounds like it was a pretty sound move if he gets the wages, whether he plays or not.

The goal that was conceded on 87.... Ouch.

Göztepe just beat Sakaryaspor away. Takes them up to 2nd with the rest of the league playing Sat/Sun

He was named caretaker at the beginning of December and they said they'd make a final decision by the end of the month. Which they have done. In this ain't Kantari has had two league matches, (which were both lost by one goal) and a cup match that they scraped through on pens.

Valenciennes announce Kantari will stay on as manager until the end of the season. They have a cup match against lower tier Sarreguemines FC on Friday before the league starts back up again on 13th January

I think the knock that Bednarek took just before their goal put our passing patterns out. But one fluff doesn't matter when you score two. Good finish to the year.

Desperate for this to be a win. We can't stop 22/23 being the year we fell apart in the Premier League, but to be able to extend an historic unbeaten run past the turn of the new year would put down a marker for Leicester and Ipswich. The Saints are coming ...

Just a reminder that Bluestar are operating a SUNDAY timetable today.

Stoilov's winning streak comes to an end as Bodromspor put 3 past Göztepe. Winter break now for both Valenciennes and Göztepe
