A member of the Gunners' 'Invincibles' side, Henry won two Premier Leagues and two FA Cups before heading off to Barcelona and New York, rejoining Arsenal briefly on loan in 2011-12.

What we have to do is take it one step at a time and the first thing we have to be is successful in MLS, and successful in the US Open Cup.
David Moyes made a perfect start to his second spell in charge of West Ham after two goals from Mark Noble and one each by Felipe Anderson and Sebastien Haller gave the Hammers a 4-0 home win over Bournemouth on Wednesday.

Smolevichy and Vitebsk have scored and conceded exactly the same number of goals (respectively 1 and 2), so this could be a quite tight game, however Vitebsk has at least been able to win once, while Smolevichy has collected just 1 point in the first 2 games of this League.

I'm so proud of the way we play. That's important to us, but at the end you're going to judge me on winning trophies and all the pundits are going to have a go at me for having small squads, but it's the way it goes. I'm hearing that I'm very stubborn and I am because I will never play a transition game.
Guadalupe and jicaral both the teams are in an incredible shape in this moment. I think that today the hosts can make a very good result and I see them indeed doing a draw. At least not to lose as they are very solid at home. Lost only one game at home in the whole season in 10 games. Jicaral on the road is not good. Guadalupe sit 4th place and collected a total number of 31 points. Jicaral sit 6th place and collected a total number of 30 points. There is many similarities between both sides. Both sides have good attacking power too.

Southampton is in great shape right now with a lot of ein recently but I think it Will be too much for them to beat wolves because wolves are better team than them but also on the other hand I dont think vole could win because they are not in best shape at end like išao soton is in very good shape so it seems like draw is most realistic outcome of this match and I think it could be 1 1 at the end or maybe even 2 2 but I recommend to go with draw because the odds are very good

The only chance for Diriangen to get to the big final, is to try getting victory here. Even only a win, if it is 1:0, will not be enough, but teams should go to the over time or penalties.
