On March 28th, the friendly international game between England and Slovakia will kick off at Wembley Stadium at 17:15. This match will serve as an excellent warm up for the England team in preparation for its World Cup 2010 qualifying match against Ukraine four days later. England has previously beaten Slovakia twice before during the qualifiers for the European Championships in 2004, but will the team make it three times in a row or has Slovakia improved its game sufficiently to beat England this time? In addition, with David Beckham’s current good form, he may well earn his 109th cap at this game to become England’s most capped outfield player ever. Or will Aaron Lennon start, who has put in some impressive performances for Spurs of late?

Watch all the action on Sentanta Sports’ exclusive live coverage and ensure that you don’t miss a moment of this exciting match.

Hull City are without Ireland international Kevin Kilbane for their FA cup sixth round clash with Arsenal this evening, for what Hull assistant manager Brain Horton describes as a “massive game� for the club. The winners will face Chelsea in the semi-final in April.

“In football, some unthinkable things can easily become possible,� says Brazilian star Geovanni, who is keen to play at Wembley. With bookies offering 10/1 on a Hull victory, the team will have to pull off another major surprise at the Emirates.

Fourth-place Arsenal were shocked 2-1 by Hull in the Premiership in September, and will be looking to put that behind them and carry on their fine form of late, despite having lost their number one goalkeeper to injury. Manuel Almunia suffered an ankle injury during Arsenal’s 4-0 demolition of Blackburn last weekend.

The match kicks off at 1945 GMT and is Live on Setanta Sports1. Should be a cracker! Lets just hope it is a bit more interesting than West Ham V West Brom which was on last night eh?

Live and exclusive on Setanta tonight is the FA Cup 5th round replay from the KC Stadium as Premiership side Hull look to avoid an upset against Sheffield Utd and on Sunday lunchtime Setanta will be showing exclusive live coverage of the premier league tussle between Newcastle and Bolton.

FA Cup – Hull City v Sheffield Utd – February 26th
Can The Blades pick up where Coventry left off and succeed where Swansea failed by disposing of top-flight opposition?I hope the Blades lose, but then I am a hammers fan! Not a big fan of Sheffield united after they kept dragging out the Carlos Tevez saga

English Premier League – Bolton v Newcastle – March 1st
Live Barclays Premier League tussle from the Reebok Stadium as Gary Megson’s Bolton look to edge closer to the top half of the table against a struggling Newcastle side. This should be a good battle, I predict a real hard fought game and plenty of yellow cards!

Sunday’s Carling Cup Final between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will be shown live on Sky sports 1 with coverage starting at 2.30pm (kick off 3pm). Last year’s winners, Spurs, are once again the clear underdogs in what could well be an enthralling final. Manchester Utd had few problems breezing past Derby County in the Semi Final, but Spurs had an almighty scare against Burnley. Since then the form of the Red Devils has been imperious, whereas the Lillywhites have struggled to find any sort of consistency.

I’m lucky enough to have snagged a ticket to the final, so what will I see played out on the hallowed Wembley turf?

My prediction is that Spurs will score first via a deflected shot from Jermain Jenas, but will be unable to hang on to that lead. Man Utd will win a dodgy penalty, dived and converted by Ronaldo. Berbatov (obviously) will score what seems to be the winner on 70 minutes - an angled header off his alice band. BUT in the second minute of injury time, Rio Ferdinand will rugby tackle Aaron Lennon, flattening him inside the box. Pavlyuchenko steps up and calmly slots the penalty into the corner. 2-2 and it’s extra time… I have seen the freakish events that lead to the cup winning goal, but if you want to find out what happens, you’ll have to watch the game!

Getting ready for the live Monday night game. Watching both Tottenham Hotspur and Hull on Setanta is, as Forest Gump’s Mom would say, very much like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get - but let’s hope for some sweet football tonight. For all the superstitious statos out there, Monday night games on Setanta featuring Spurs have yielded the following results - Won 1 (v. West Ham 2-0) Lost 1 (v. Aston Villa 1-2). For Hull this will be their first Monday 8pm fixture on Setanta. In the reverse fixture back in October it was a Giovanni special that separated the teams. The bookies make Spurs favourites, but will King and Keane rouse their troops to victory or will they freeze at the gates of Hull.
