Quartet of star guests coming up on Matchday Live | OneFootball

We have a quartet of star guests coming up on Matchday Live over the next month.

Tore Andre Flo, John Hartson, Sam Allardyce and Emile Heskey will be offering their expert football insight on proceedings from City HQ.

Flo will be on hand for the clash with his former club, Chelsea, on Saturday 25 January.

The former striker arrived at Stanford Bridge in the summer of 1997 as a £300,000 signing from Brann Bergen in Norway and scored on his debut against Coventry City.

In total, before heading to Rangers three years later, he bagged 50 goals for the Blues in 163 appearances.

Highlights included a hat-trick in a 6–1 win over Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, two in a 6–2 victory over Crystal Palace and another brace in a 3–1 triumph over Barcelona at Stamford Bridge.

He won the FA Cup, League Cup, Charity Shield, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup during his time in London.

John Hartson will be here to offer his opinion on the away clash with his former club, Arsenal, on Sunday 2 February.

Hartson arrived at Highbury from Luton Town in January 1995 and netted 14 goals in 53 Premier League games for the Gunners before being sold to West Ham in February 1997.

Top scorer in 1997/98, he joined Wimbledon in January 1999 and had a spell with Coventry City prior to joining Celtic in August 2001.

Under Martin O’Neill, he won three Scottish Premier Leagues, two Scottish Cups and the Scottish League Cup before joining West Brom in July 2006 and then retiring two years later.

For Wales, he scored 14 goals in 51 appearances and won Welsh Footballer of the Year three times in 1998, 2001 and 2003.

City v Newcastle will see Sam Allardyce in the studio as he offers opinion on the clash with the Magpies on Saturday 15 February.

Big Sam, a hugely recognisable figure in the world of football, made his managerial bow in the Premier League with Bolton and achieved promotion to the top flight with Wanderers in his second season in charge.

After establishing them as a top-flight outfit, he led The Trotters to UEFA Europa League qualification before being appointed Newcastle United boss after eight successful years with Bolton.

After his spell at St James Park, he returned to management in the Premier League with Blackburn Rovers where he steadied the ship at Ewood Park.

Appointed West Ham United manager after the Hammers were relegated from the Premier League, Allardyce brought them back up by beating Blackpool in the Championship Play-off Final at Wembley Stadium.

Spells at Sunderland and England followed before he took over as manager of Crystal Palace after the departure of Alan Pardew, with the club lying 17th after 17 matches.

The Eagles recorded victories over Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool under Allardyce as the club remained in the top flight.

After a break from the game, Allardyce spent time at Everton, West Brom and Leeds United and now we will have the pleasure of his company at the Etihad.

Meanwhile, Heskey will be on hand to run the rule over the clash with Liverpool on Sunday 23 February.

Heskey, one of the most powerful strikers to grace the Premier League, made his name at Leicester where he won the League Cup twice before joining Liverpool for £11m.

There, he earned honours in the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup in the same season as well as the Super Cup the following campaign and a further League Cup triumph two seasons later.

Following spells at Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic he joined Martin O’Neill’s Villa where he led the line for three seasons alongside John Carew and Gabby Agbonlahor while he also starred for England, earning 62 caps for the Three Lions.
