Former Aston Villa and Rangers coach Steven Gerrard is keen to occupy the vacant managerial seat at Leeds United.
The Elland Road side are still without a full-time manager after sacking Jesse Marsch last week.
The American coach was relieved of his duties after a poor run of results that saw Leeds drop to 17th on the table, one point above the relegation zone.
The club have sought to replace him but have faced rejection from multiple coaches. According to reports, their first-choice replacement, Carlos Corberan, signed a new 18-month deal with West Brom on Monday. Rayo Vallecano’s Andoni Iraola also refused to leave his current side despite Leeds sending a delegation to convince him.
That has left Leeds United with few options, so they have turned their attention to former Liverpool captain Gerrard. The former England international has been out of management since November after being sacked by Aston Villa following six defeats in 11 league games. However, according to Football Insider, he is keen on taking over at Leeds despite the enormity of the task.
Today, for the 2022-23 NBA regular season, fans will witness a thrilling match between the Chicago Bulls VS Cleveland Cavaliers two franchises with different presences in the basketball world.
Chicago lost two successive games, and contrary to popular belief, they were not active during the trade deadline.
Cleveland has four consecutive wins; minus their Friday game against the New Orleans Pelicans, and they intend to fight their way to the top of the Eastern Conference and stay there throughout the season.
We’ve covered all the information you should know about the Bulls and Cavaliers matchup. You can also visit MatchPlug to find more NBA Predictions Tonight for various games in this league.
If a poll on which teams in the Eastern Conference were the biggest disappointments were to be taken, the Chicago Bulls would be top contenders for the top spot.
The team’s top management was expected to trade Alex Caruso and Coby White, but instead, they stayed on in the team.
Several reports have stated that the management didn’t want to scatter the roster and they want to give the Bulls a chance to raise their performance in the second half of the campaign. However, if things end poorly for this team, there could be some significant moves to happen in the offseason.

The Cleveland Cavaliers too didn’t participate too much at the NBA trade deadline, sending across a message that they have faith in their present roster.
Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell did not play last Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons, because of physical discomfort, but the players were expected to be available against the Pelicans and today against the Chicago Bulls.
After winning 7 out of their last 10 games, the Cavaliers are mounting pressure on the Philadelphia 76ers and are just one game behind Doc Rivers’ team in the standings.
MatchPlug Prediction
In all their 3 previous matches this season, Cleveland has won Chicago. In the last game, Mitchell made a memorable 71-point performance in a match that was decided in double overtime.
With the Cavaliers being a fantastic home underdog (23-6) and the Bulls being prone to failure at away games (10-18), our predictions place Mitchell and his crew in a position to destabilise Chicago this night.
But, you can still look at the NBA Expert Picks for this matchup on 1XBet to get a second opinion.

Los Angeles and Golden State have met once before this season, in a matchup that took place on the same court and the Warriors won by 123-109. It remains to be seen if the Lakers will even the series this campaign.

Predictions and Betting Preview for Los Angeles Lakers VS Golden State Warriors NBA Regular Season Game
Venue: Chase Center, San Francisco, California.
When: Saturday, February 11th, 2023
Time: 17:30 GMT
Teams to play: Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors
The Los Angeles Lakers returned to their home field after playing two home games. The last one was against the Milwaukee Bucks which are the most competent opponents in the league. It was a game where the main news was the absence of LeBron James because of his foot injury.
The NBA’s leading scorer will recover in time for this new commitment, although the Lakers must step up their performance away from home if they want to stand a chance against the Warriors. They have lost 17 out of 29 games played in that capacity; proving why they are ranked 13th in the Western Conference.
In the defensive department, this team hasn’t played well either, averaging 118.6 points allowed per night, these numbers make them the third-worst squad in this area.
Betting On The Golden State Warriors
Season Record: 28-27
1XBet Spread: -2.5
1XBet Moneyline: 1.79
1XBet Over/Under: Under 238.5
BetMGM Spread: -2.5
BetMGM Moneyline: 1.76
BetMGM Over/Under: Under 238.5
The Golden State Warriors are licking their wounds over losing Stephen Curry, but this hasn’t made them less of a competitive team in the matches they have played without him. They became this way after suffering defeat at the hands of the Portland Trail Blazers by 125-122; significantly damaging their opponent despite playing away from home.
Losing the Trail Blazers cut short the Warriors’ winning streak of two successive victories, but they will now go back to winning at the Chase Center, where they won 21 of the 27 games they’ve played.
MatchPlug Prediction
LeBron James is expected to come back for this matchup to play with a Lakers team that just got reinforcement from their acquisitions in the market. Their away numbers are not looking good, but on the upside, they won’t face Curry today.
The Warriors are strong players at home, but, like the Lakers, they too have not been a top franchise on defense, averaging 118.3 points allowed in each game, figures they must improve if they want to retain the championship title they won last campaign.
NBA Expert Picks predict a high-scoring game, since both teams have high-level attacks, but weak defense zones.
This Saturday, the 2022-23 NBA regular season moves forward, featuring San Antonio Spurs Vs Atlanta Hawks. For this game, Atlanta will play to keep their hopes of making it to playoffs alive.
The San Antonio Spurs are on a ten-game losing streak and this season for them was mostly about giving play time and experience to their young players.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks are in 8th position in the Eastern Conference and are playing in the Play-In tournament too.
Ahead of the game, MatchPlug has done this betting preview that shows NBA Prediction Tonight for the San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks matchup.
Before the trade deadline, the San Antonio Spurs traded starting centre Jakob Poeltl, and with starters Devin Vassell and Tre Jones out with injuries, it will be hard for this team to muster a winning streak for the rest of the season.
San Antonio’s management hopes to keep Victor Wembanyama in the next draft, as a reward for all their struggles this season. Spurs are putting together a project that can take them back to their glory days.
Betting On The Atlanta Hawks
Season Record: 28-28
1XBet Spread: -13.5
1XBet Moneyline: 1.132
1XBet Over/Under: Under 239.5
BetMGM Spread: -14.5
BetMGM Moneyline: 1.10
BetMGM Over/Under: Under 240.5
The Atlanta Hawks got Saddiq Bey in a three-team trade with the Detroit Pistons and the Golden State Warriors, proving their resolution to keep fighting for a playoff spot. Bey averages 14.8 points per game and is expected to be a vital complement to a Trae Young and Dejounte Murray duo.
John Collins had his fair share of trading rumours but ended up staying in Atlanta again. The Hawks are just 1.5 games away from 6th place, which will allow them to move to the playoffs directly, without playing the play-in.
MatchPlug Prediction
This will be the first time the Hawks and Spurs are meeting this season. The second matchup will happen on March 19 in San Antonio.
Since several star players of the Spurs are out and they have no motivation to compete in the season, NBA Expert Picks predict that Atlanta Hawk should comfortably win tonight’s game.
The All-Star Game break in the NBA is fast approaching, and today fans will be getting one of the most exciting games this weekend, Utah Jazz VS New York Knicks. These two teams are presently taking different paths.
Utah may have stopped fighting for a position in the playoffs after Malik Beasley, Mike Conley, and Jarred Vanderbilt was let go in different moves before the trade deadline.
New York on its own part, has gotten fresh reinforcements in the person of point guard Josh Hart and now intends to leave the Play-In tournament zone to get into direct playoff positions.
The Utah Jazz has been the team to surprise the league the most, for long periods of the current season. But they gradually began to lose ground and the franchise’s management thought it a good idea to move from veteran players to buying draft picks instead.
Russell Westbrook joined Jazz in a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves involving Mike Conley and D’Angelo Russell. However, Westbrook won’t play for a single minute with this team, instead, he will be released to sign with a contending team. The Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, and Toronto Raptors are some of the teams Westbrook might end up at.
Betting On The New York Knicks
Season Record: 30-26
1XBet Spread: -5.5
1XBet Moneyline: 1.48
1XBet Over/Under: Under 228.5
BetMGM Spread: -5.5
BetMGM Moneyline: 1.48

The New York Knicks have secured two consecutive wins, except for Friday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team looks fit enough to challenge Miami Heat for 6th place in the Eastern Conference.
Point guard Jalen Brunson consistently plays at a spectacular level and his last 10 games averaged 25.9 points, 6 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 50.3% shooting from the field, 44.2% three-point shooting from the field, and 44.2% three-point shooting. Brunson is one of the candidates who will take over for an injured Jaylen Brown in the NBA All-Star Game.
MatchPlug Prediction
New York won Utah by 118-111 in their last game this season, last November. In that match, Brunson was the star player with 25 points and 8 assists.
Noting the fact that the Jazz is not the same team it was at the beginning of the regular season and that the Knicks are having a good time, MatchPlug’s NBA Prediction Tonight believes that New York will win this Saturday night matchup.
Thiago Silva has renewed his Chelsea contract until 2024.
The Brazilian has been a mainstay in the Chelsea backline since he arrived at Stamford Bridge from Pasris Saint-Germain two years ago. Despite turning 38 years last September, Silva has shown few signs of slowing down, leading to Chelsea rewarding him with a contract that will last until he is almost 40 years old.
After putting pen to paper on his new deal, Silva told the club’s official website, “I am honestly so happy to continue my career with the Blues.
“When I signed my first contract here, it was to just do one year. Now it is already the fourth! I could not have imagined that, but really it is a very special moment for me to sign and stay at Chelsea.”
According to the Daily Mail, the Serie A giants may attempt to land him in the summer to strengthen their attack. Milan previously wanted to sign Balogun while he was still in the Arsenal youth academy but couldn’t land him then, as Arsenal were unwilling to sell.
But with his performance in France, Milan’s interest has been strengthened.
However, the Rossoneri are not the only team credited with an interest, with Marseille and Villarreal also monitoring him.
Premier League duo Tottenham and Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni.
According to the Daily Mail, the English duo are looking to take advantage of the player’s contract situation at the San Siro. The 23-year-old defender is out of contract in 2024 but has failed to commit to a new deal with Inter.
As a result, the Nerazzurri are considering a sale in the summer to avoid losing him for nothing next season. But the sale of Bastoni will pose a massive problem for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who are set to lose key defenders Milan Skriniar and De Vrij on free transfers in the summer.
However, according to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are keen to extend his contract beyond the summer if he reduces his wage demands.
Xavi admires the Spanish international and Barcelona captain and is pushing to keep him at the club while he has offers from Al Nassr, who are willing to sign him for €18m.
Locatelli joined Juve on a two-year loan from Sassuolo back in 2021 with the option of signing permanently for around £32 million ($38.6m) this summer.
However, given the Old Lady’s off-pitch turmoil, they may decide to offload the player immediately. However, Mikel Arteta will be interested in his services, as he is keen to bolster his midfield options after losing out on Brighton’s Moises Caicedo in January.
