Midweek TV Preview: October 27th - 30th

(All times UK)

Monday 27th October

19:45 Cliftonville v Linfield, JJB Premiership, Sky Sports 1
The home side haven't score in two games. Linfield are goal-less in four. We can only assume that this game was organised well in advance. Avoid.

Tuesday 28th October

19:45 Newcastle Utd v West Bromwich Albion, Premier League, Sky Sports 2/HD2
Sky have picked a good one here. Both can score, both can concede. Who will win? Who knows? Probably no-one.

Wednesday 29th October

19:00 Hamburg v VfB Stuttgart, Bundesliga, Setanta Sports 1
You can read more about Hamburg's shock defeat to Hoffenheim in this week's Bundesbag as soon as I've written it.

20:00 Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League, Sky Sports 2/HD2
The Big One. Buoyed by a renewed confidence, Tottenham's unbalanced side will go to the Emirates determined to stick it to their hated rivals. Could end 7-6.

Thursday 30 October

19:45 Salisbury City v Crawley Town, Blue Square Premier, Setanta Sports 1
Given their financial problems, no one is quite sure how Crawley are still in existence, let alone second in the Conference. Be that as it may, they will be confident of victory over mid-table Salisbury.
