Grimsby are 21st in League Two, six points above bottom side Stevenage and without a win in 15 games in all competitions. Holloway, 56, has been out of management since he left Queens Park Rangers in May 2018 but has plenty of experience in turning around struggling sides. He will also acquire shares in the club.
They say form often goes out the window in local derbies but Hearts' form is so poor you just can't see that being the case on Thursday. The hosts are in terrible shape, can't buy a draw, let alone a win and Hibs look reasonably well placed to take full advantage of that.
When I woke up on deadline day morning in August 2014, I knew I was going to Italy. I just didn't know if I would be coming straight back. I'd found out my loan move from Manchester City to Fiorentina was on the cards two days earlier. Eduardo Macia, who had tried to get me to Liverpool a couple of seasons before, was their sporting director and he asked me if I fancied coming over. But on the morning of deadline day, I had to go to Florence for a medical, and with the injury history I had with my knee, we didn't know if we could get it done in a day.
The Whites are now eight points clear of third-placed Fulham, who face Preston North End at 15:00 GMT, and one point behind leaders West Bromwich Albion before their game against Wigan Athletic.

Pilley's short-term hope is for a financial rescue package from either the Premier League, Professional Footballers' Association or borrowed against future income. But his longer-term suggestions would prompt greater change to the structure of the English game. If there is to be a rescue package one of the knock-on effects is that there should be a covenant and within that there needs to be a salary cap so football becomes sustainable in the lower leagues so we can focus on football and not points deductions," he continued.

Video - 'Real to sign Haaland in 2020, Mbappe in 2021' - Euro Papers01:39 Pogba has made just seven league appearances this season after struggling with an ankle injury, while speculation persists linking him with a move to Real Madrid or return to Juventus. Obviously what I hear when people are saying ‘Paul is doing this…Paul…Paul’ I don’t know.
And if - due to government intervention or 'insurmountable economic problems' - there is no more play, European qualification for the 2020-21 season should be decided 'on sporting merit'. The next Uefa executive committee meeting is on 27 May, by which time it is hoped competitive football will have returned to some countries and training in others - including England. However, with one lot of answers, comes more questions.
The Foxes head into December in 2nd place in the Premier League, sitting on a comfortable 10 point cushion between themselves and 5th place Wolves. What’s more, they’re in excellent form and face a relatively favourable festive fixture list.

The goal drew an intense reaction from City, as Fernandinho hit the post and the in-form Alex McCarthy kept out David Silva's header in the aftermath. The visitors rarely let up thereafter but were repeatedly left frustrated by Saints goalkeeper McCarthy, whose one-handed save from Gabriel Jesus in the second half was the pick of several superb stops. Southampton had chances of their own amid the increasing City pressure but neither Nathan Redmond nor Danny Ings could convert rare opportunities, while Ederson was alert to Stuart Armstrong's swerving shot.

Barnsley's last league match at the Cardiff City Stadium was in March 2018, losing on their way to being relegated that season. They’re going the same way this term, while this clash sees them face a Cardiff side who are back to their best. Cardiff have won back-to-back league games, having won just one of their last seven. They last won three in a row in February/March 2018 (a run of eight). Their early season struggles are gone and Cardiff are finally stringing results together, so we’re backing a home win here.
Juventus Managua will host Real Madriz for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Juventus Managua is very average team in this season. However, the hosts have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Also, we have Real Madriz who's is not very good team in this campaign. Visitors have less potential. Also, Real Madriz are in poor shape in recent times. So, the visitors are more vulnerable team. In previous game Real Madrid lost 4-0 against Ferretti. So, Juventus Managua is really better team at home. I think, the hosts will try to get all three points.

It's looking grim for Watford unless they can start getting some wins. They have only won one league game this season and that was away at Norwich who are 19th in the table.

That was their fifth loss in six league games as the gap between them and safety continues to grow.

Rosario versus Aldosivi is this match for the best league in Argentina and here I expect the home team favorite will be able to win and by 2 or more goals and so my bet is the AH -1 FT. The hosts after 13 matches played have 19 points and are in the middle. They did 2 wins in the last 2 matches played. At home they did only 1 defeat in the last 5 matches played. The guests have only 8 points and are in bottom zone and away they did 5 defeats in the last 5 matches played away.
Arsenal has won in first leg in Greece against Olympiakos, so tonight this should be a routine victory for hosts. Arsenal plays on much higher level than their opponents, and it will be a huge surprise if they not with in this duel with at least more than 1.5 goals difference. Lacazette and Aubameyang will be in attack, and with Martinelli and Willock in the midfield, I am sure they will get many useful passes. Olympiakos Piraeus can be satisfied if they not concede more than 1.5 goals, their defense is weak, and even if they managed to score a goal, they will probably to lose in this duel with more than 1.5 goals AH

Manager Bernard Blaquart has been feeling the heat recently but his team haven't been doing anything to help him as they have created the fifth least chances and scored the third least goals this season.

Grealish would expect a sizeable increase on his £100,000-a-week wages, reports football website Goal.

Aston villa is in terrible shape and if they continue to play like this I don't think they could avoid relegation and on the other side Newcastle seems to be in a good shape and also at home they are much better than they are on the road and especially their home defense is good so I expect another clean sheet from Newcastle defense and their offense should be able to get the win if that be the case cause Aston vila defense is not that good and I do not believe they could stop Newcastle from scoring at least once
