Rochdale

Rochdale

Turf Moor will host Tuesday’s football game between Burnley and Rochdale. Burnley made a slow start to the new Premier League campaign, and we are positive that they will give 100% to return to winning ways. Since the Clarets will not have a better chance than this to get back on course, home win should be considered. All Cornet, Vydra, and Rodriguez are pushing for a star ... Read More...

Man City

All eyes will be on Old Trafford when Manchester United and Manchester City face each other in the EFL Cup semis. The Red Devils defeated Everton 2-0 in the quarter-finals, but they will have a much-bigger fish to fry against the star-studded Citizens.
