NASHVILLE, Tenn. Robin Salo Jersey . -- The Tennessee Titans are mired in a serious drought when it comes to intercepting passes and recovering fumbles.They have forced just one turnover over the past month, and their defense has only six interceptions with no fumbles forced. Theyre tied with the New York Giants for the fewest fumbles taken away this season, and both teams recovered the ball on special teams.We feel like were kind of due for some, Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan said. Well see. Weve got to keep working. We cant get in panic mode by any means. We just got to keep working, and hopefully theyll come.The Titans started the season on a good pace with six interceptions in the span of four games. Since two interceptions in a win at Miami on Oct. 9, Tennessee is lucky rookie LeShaun Sims recovered a fumble on a muffed punt by Jacksonville on Oct. 27.Tennessee (4-5) hosts Green Bay (4-4) on Sunday, and stripping the ball has been a focus in practice this week as the Titans try to boost those takeaway numbers. The Packers have lost six fumbles this season.Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey said they want a second defender coming in and stripping the ball and tipping more passes to create opportunities. He said great defenses force turnovers and turn them into points. The Titans have only 13 points off their seven takeaways this season compared to 44 points scored by opponents off Tennessees 13 giveaways.Seven takeaways simply isnt getting the job done.Thats not what were looking at, Casey said. Were looking 20-plus turnovers already, and we need to start making them happen.While Tennessee hasnt gotten the bounces defensively, the offense has seen balls go straight to opponents. Five touchdowns have been scored off Titans turnovers -- two in separate games this season, including last weeks 43-35 loss at San Diego.Dwight Lowery took a fumble by Marcus Mariota 36 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, while Brandon Flowers ran an interception back 33 yards for another TD in the fourth quarter.Titans coach Mike Mularkey doesnt see the five touchdowns off 13 turnovers as bad luck no matter how much the ball seems to bounce straight to the opponents.The ball has not bounced, especially these fumbles, theyve bounced to those guys and theyve taken advantage of it, Mularkey said. Theyve gone untouched, basically, running into the end zone. It hasnt been like theyve made great plays. Its been free runs.The combination has the Titans tied for 26th in the NFL in turnover ratio at minus-6. The Packers have taken as well as theyve given and are at minus-1 in that category. Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said its all about creating opportunities, and his Packers know they have to be better at protecting the ball against an aggressive defense like Tennessee.Theyve definitely got the players to take it away from us, McCarthy said.Game notes RB DeMarco Murray (toe) and RT Jack Conklin (right elbow) were limited Thursday. Mularkey said he expects both to play Sunday. RB Derrick Henry (calf) missed his second straight practice. Henry said he may practice a bit Friday and still hopes to play Sunday. ... LG Quinton Spain (right knee) practiced for a second straight day, but Mularkey said Brian Schwenke remains at starter for now while Spain continues working his way back. ... S Rashad Johnson (neck), TE Delanie Walker (groin) and LB Aaron Wallace (shoulder) also practiced.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Teresa M.

(Stoke v Southampton - Saturday, 3pm)As the Premier League has intensified since the turn of the year, there has been plenty of focus on who will secure Champions League football.The race to the Europa League is arguably just as engrossing and several teams will still consider themselves to be in contention for fifth place. Southampton will need Sadio Mane to get back among the goals Southampton and Stoke may well be outsiders given they occupy eighth and ninth respectively at present but both are within sight.A win for either could be the catalyst for a late surge into European contention.Will Tottenhams Europa-to-Premier curse derail their title challenge? (Aston Villa v Tottenham - Sunday, 4pm)Tottenham return to Premier League action on Sunday at Aston Villa, three days after a heavy Europa League defeat to Borussia Dortmund, and a return to winning ways would put pressure on leaders Leicester.Whether they get it is another matter - even with Villas four-matchh losing run in mind - and more pertinent for Spurs fans is their own teams indifferent form after European games.

Will Chelsea bounce back from their defeat by Paris Saint-Germain? Guus Hiddink has admitted Chelsea are in transition and with the club heavily tipped to appoint Antonio Conte as their new manager, it appears there is a new man to impress.An FA Cup win this season would clearly help but as is the case for Everton, Chelseas season will effectively be over with a defeat in this fixture after Wednesdays loss to PSG.Will Arsenal continue to stutter in their FA Cup defence?

Arsenals title challenge takes a back seat when they face Watford in the FA Cup In Watford, they face a team that has adapted well to life in the Premier League and they should be the Gunners toughest opponents yet in the competition.Watford have been workmanlike in a trio of 1-0 wins over Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Leeds in the previous rounds.Combine that with Arsenals growing injury list and they should provide a difficult afternoon for the holders on Sunday.Can West Ham keep up their good record against big-name sides?
