Its not lost on Sydney FC that struggling Adelaide have amassed as many A-League points as the runaway leaders have dropped.Yet, the Sky Blues refuse to take Saturdays top-versus-bottom clash lightly, wary it was about this time last season that Guillermo Amors defending champions starting firing.The Reds had three points after seven rounds in 2015-16, one more than the two theyve accrued in the same period of this, so far horrendous campaign.After eight games, they were still tied to the bottom of the table, but Sydney centre-back Alex Wilkinson is mindful of what happened next - a 14-match unbeaten run that ended with the premiership-championship double.And, he said Graham Arnolds undefeated Sky Blues, who dropped their first two points in last weekends draw with Brisbane, were prepared to host a team low in confidence but even hungrier for a win.Obviously, Adelaide have had a few struggles early on this year, just like they did last year - and look where they ended up last year, Wilkinson said.Theyre definitely not a team that deserves to be on the bottom of the league.Well be treating them with the same respect we treat every opponent (with).Were expecting a difficult game and theyll be well up for getting their first win of the season.Obviously, Adelaides confidence might be a little low so, if we can get on top of them early and maybe grab a goal, that would be great for us and put them on the back foot.Arnold will again field a perfectly fit squad - albeit potentially with Wednesdays FFA Cup final in mind.The Reds, plagued by injuries, appear to be emerging from the darkness with striker Henrique back from a knee problem to boost the attack along with Sergi Guardiola, who appears to have promptly recovered from last weekends injury against Perth.But Arnold sees a clear advantage in Amors absence from the Allianz Stadium sidelines as the Spaniard serves a one-match ban for his outburst during Uniteds controversial loss last Friday to the Glory.You saw the same with Kenny Lowe; its not the same for the players without the coach on the sideline, Arnold said.The players always look across to the coach for reassurance and tactical instructions.STATS THAT MATTER:* Adelaide have won four of their six most-recent games against Sydney and are unbeaten in the past three* The Reds have kept a clean sheet in their past four regular-season away matches with the Sky Blues, outscoring them 9-0 across that period* Sydney have conceded the most fouls (128) and won the fewest (83) of any team this season* Sergi Guardiolas 20 shots at goal are the second most of any player this season and four more than any Sydney player Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Authentic .

Canelo Alvarez was diagnosed Monday with a fracture in his right thumb and will not fight again this year, Golden Boy Promotions announced.Alvarez, the lineal middleweight world champion, moved down to the junior middleweight division and stopped Englands Liam Smith in the ninth round to win a 154-pound world title Saturday night before 51,240 fans at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.Golden Boy spokesman Stefan Friedman said Alvarez visited hand specialist Dr. Pedro Jaime Lomeli in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico. After undergoing X-rays and a CT scan, Alvarez was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of the right thumb, Friedman said.Canelo does not need surgery, and the prognosis is excellent, Friedman said. Canelos hand will be immobilized for the next six weeks, and he will be unable to fight again in 2016.Alvarez said after the fight that he hurt his right thumb in the second round, but he still produced three knockdowns, including one with his right hand.The 26-year-old Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) knocked Smith (23-1-1, 13 KOs) down with a right hand to the side of the head in the seventh round, with a left hook to the body in the eighth round and with a fight-ending left hook to the body in the ninth round that sent Smith to the mat in agony, prompting referee Luis Pabon to wave off the fight without a count at 2 minutes, 28 seconds.Alvarez came to the postfight news conference with his right hand wrapped in a bandage but said he diid not think it was broken.dddddddddddd He said that when he suffered the injury he relied more on his left hand than he had planned to.After I got hurt, I probably used my left hand a little more and went to the body a little bit more, but [going to the body] was part of the game plan, Alvarez said. Ive always said you have to be prepared for anything in that ring, and thats what I was. I was prepared for anything.Alvarez was due to return on Dec. 10 for a live HBO fight -- not a pay-per-view bout, which Saturdays fight was -- against an opponent to be determined. That is now off because of the thumb fracture.Despite the change to Alvarezs schedule, Friedman said it does not alter the tentative plans for an eventual showdown between Alvarez and unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin -- boxings biggest fight -- in September 2017.Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs), who retained his title by fifth-round knockout of Kell Brook on Sept. 10 in London, is due to fight Nov. 26 against an opponent to be determined. Alvarez was supposed to go Dec. 10, and then each was supposed to fight in the first half of 2017 before the megafight next fall. Now Alvarezs next fight will be pushed into early 2017, Friedman said.This does nothing to Canelos plans to move up [to 160 pounds] and take on the best in the middleweight division next year, Friedman said.
