The odd thing about the debate around the decision not to send Harry Maguire off for sinking his studs into Michy Batshuayi’s most delicate region was that everyone immediately pointed to the red card given to Son Heung-min for kicking out at Antonio Rudiger a few months ago, as if we needed a point of comparison to know that hoofing an opponent in the nethers was a red card offence.
Everton have conceded 27 league goals and only the bottom two have conceded more. All those players signed during the summer haven't led to anything like a good season. Their last three league games have been lost and manager Marco Silva is in deep trouble. Most Everton fans listen to the news waiting for the announcement that he's been sacked. Who knows it could even come before this match? Chelsea got a win in midweek and have 15 more points than their opponents. They have good away form and score lots of goals. Go for Chelsea to get the away win here.
These teams have been the worst ones of this League in the first 2 rounds of this season, considering that they have both lost their 2 games, however Gorodeya has been certainly worse than Belshina: the visitors have been the only team to have scored no goal at all yet, conceding 3 total goals in their matches vs Vitebsk and Soligorsk. Belshina has conceded one goal more than them, but they have at least scored once so far, so I think they could be favorite in this home clash. Belshina has won a friendly game vs Gorodeya few weeks ago, so I will bet on them today.

All things considered, we see good value in backing an away win on Wednesday and feel it's by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Real have plunged in an average of 2.77 goals a game over their current unbeaten streak and we think they'll have no issues in putting a couple past Brugge, with a 2-0 margin of away victory on the cards.
Fenerbahce have been in terrible form but may step things up a gear in the knowledge that a bigger audience than usual will be tuning in. One of the last top-level leagues still active after the declaration of a global pandemic by the WHO, the Super Lig has plenty to offer new fans. Fener, usually challenging for the title, are chasing the chasing pack thanks to a dreadful 2020 that has left them seventh, 13 points off the top spot.
Liverpool is in bad form, according to their recent results. However their only bad performance was against Watford. Against Atletico Madrid they lost only 1:0, which is not a big deal considering they play the 2nd let at Anfield. Yesterday they lost against Chelsea in the FA Cup, however many players from the 1st squad did not played. I think Liverpool is capable of winning this match by 2 goals difference, despite their poor form. Bournemouth is not very good team, especially when they play away from home. As I said, my bet is Liverpool ah -1.5 at maximum stake.

The club's record signing almost doubled his tally before the interval but struck the post with a curling effort after a David de Gea mistake. Papastathopoulos then bundled in from close range for a rare goal after Ainsley Maitland-Niles had his header saved by De Gea, but Arsenal could have scored four or five in a totally dominant opening 45 minutes.

Bourg en Bresse has been a very nice surprise on the French Cup. They are a team from the lower divisions and will now have a very difficult task on this match against one of the best teams in French football. Lyon is clearly the better side and although the coach might make some small changes on the team, they know how important this competition is to them since the league is almost impossible to win and for that reason, we expect a solid win from Lyon here with great value on their -1.5 Asian Handicap as the best bet.
With Middlesbrough in fine form, we are backing them to take the points here. Derby are vulnerable and the hosts are on a roll, so they should make the most of this chance. We’re going with a home win as our pick in this one, with Boro well priced despite their recent record at this ground.
Plane carrying Liverpool co-owner overshoots runway Liverpool picked up 13 points from their six group matches to finish one point ahead of NapoliThe draw for the last 16 takes place at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland at 11:00 GMT on Monday. Liverpool won four, drew one and lost one of their games to top the group, meaning they will avoid any of the other group winners - Paris St-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona, RB Leipzig and Valencia - in the last 16.
We feel that Hoffenheim are likely to take all three points from this game. Fortuna have conceded at least two goals in their last five Bundesliga away games. On top of that, four of Hoffenheim's six Bundesliga wins came by a margin of just one goal. We feel that a 2-1 win for Hoffenheim is a likely result of this game.

Lampard said he "regrets" his language. Liverpool win Anfield thriller against ChelseaKlopp, whose side cantered to the Premier League title this term, says he respects the Chelsea manager's competitiveness but was unhappy that Lampard chose to continue his complaints after the match. Frank was in really competitive mood, I respect that a lot. For me, after the game, it's completely over," he said.
After the break, Willian fired wide following a swift Chelsea counter, before Tammy Abraham missed the target after rounding Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka as the visitors remained frustrated. Chelsea's leading goalscorer this season Abraham thought he had won it late on, but his flicked effort was cleared off the line by Matt Ritchie.
They went on to survive comfortably and could be a good shout to battle much higher up the table next season. Liverpool beat Manchester City to go eight clear Liverpool produced a statement with their impressive win over Manchester City in NovemberJust 12 games into the season and Liverpool struck a blow that Manchester City arguably never recovered from. The Reds beat their rivals 3-1 at Anfield to go eight points clear at the top of the table.
Jose Mourinho is still talking about them not having any fit strikers, and at the same time he only brought on teenage centre-forward Troy Parrott for the final moments over the weekend. Media playback is not supported on this device Tottenham punished for 'mentality mistakes' - Mourinho So, on the face of it, it might appear Norwich have a chance here, and they will be full of confidence after beating Leicester on Friday.
Paper Round's view: Foden is a massive talent - there's no denying that. Pundits and journalists were quick to laud his man-of-the-match performance as City won their third consecutive Carabao Cup trophy on Sunday and some immediately called for Southgate to include him in his next squad. We have to remember that he's only 19 years old and he's still inexperienced in terms of minutes played.
Ultimately, we're expecting this to be a fantastic watch and it looks set to be the best Libertadores final in years. The two sides are undoubtedly the strongest on the continent and with attacking quality stacked on both sides, it's hard to envisage it being anything but a highly entertaining affair.
He doesn't just look like he is capable of making a mistake every minute - he actually does. Pep Guardiola's side usually batter Burnley, though - City have won eight of their nine meetings while he has been in charge, and they drew the other one. Burnley made it seven league games unbeaten when they drew with Tottenham last week, but I am expecting that run to end on Saturday because City will be back on it.

Everyone is really nice here. They treat you like their family and you're all as one. Me being young, coming so far away from home, they look after me and talk to me all the time. Hamilton, who moved to England aged 11 to join West Ham, played in the inaugural Canadian Premier League season last year for Cavalry FC in his home province of Alberta, but has been sold on the Atletico Ottawa project. If you hear the way they speak about the league and their aspirations for the club, you can tell they really want to raise Canadian football and help it grow as a brand," he said.
Manchester City strolled through the game and it was far too easy," he added. There have to be questions asked about Ljungberg now - they are worse than under Emery and they are going backwards. They need to make some decisions quickly and put Ljungberg out of his misery. He looks like a rabbit in the headlights. Get someone in who has some clout. The decision-makers will have watched the game and seen the difference in class.

Paper Round’s view: United have had no problem recruiting certain players and Ed Woodward has been paying huge sums in wages since the appointment of Louis van Gaal. That has led to a bottleneck of players who have been reluctant to leave the club despite underperforming, and it is a continued risk if Solskjaer does not continue to do well in picking his transfer targets.
There is a two-point gap between these sides and there is a fair amount of similarity between them at present. Both have won their last two league games after losing the two played before. For Energetik, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster season to date. They won their first three league games, lost the next three and then won two in a row.
Stylish Canaries fall short againNorwich last won in the Premier League on 23 November, but they started brilliantly against Jose Mourinho's Spurs. They played with attacking intent from the opening exchanges as Vrancic rolled the exciting Onel Hernandez through on goal, only for Paulo Gazzaniga to sprint off his line to collect the loose ball. That set the tone and Daniel Farke's side pressed their visitors high up the field.
JUVENTUS: Listed on the stock market in Milan, the Agnelli family that founded the Fiat motor group remain the controlling shareholder at Juve, Italian champions for the past eight seasons.

Guardiola was asked at Friday's press conference what he felt about the interview and appeared unperturbed. The players are free to talk and say what they believe and what they think," he said. So we are not here to tell them what they have to say. It's normal to make an interview for the Madrid media and speak about Madrid.
For some unknown reason, at least for me, the odds started to raise-up a little bit against favorites here. But despite this fact, I strongly believe that Benfica can close the match in a comfortable way.
He said the FA and Premier League both favoured the permanent substitution model and are keen to be part of any future trials. The first step looks likely to be made at this summer's Olympics, in both the men's and women's competitions. Irish Football Association chief executive Patrick Nelson, who chaired the meeting, said: "We agreed it would be a sensible move to draw up some protocols for trials.
Pepe came out for a ball he wasn't going to get and made Barnes' goal easy," said Smith. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football. We've probably made more individual errors than anyone his season. Villa had a glorious chance to move out of the relegation zone with none of the five teams above them winning this weekend. They had a bright start at the King Power Stadium with Conor Hourihane and Mbwana Samatta going close to getting on the end of set-pieces.
The PGL said it wanted to work with established tours rather than as a breakaway circuit, but the U. S. PGA Tour and European Tour have been all but dismissive about the proposed circuit. When asked how such a concept could be a possibility, Woods referenced the high-profile World Golf Championships, which were introduced in 1999 as a way to get the world's best golfers together outside of the four majors and Players Championship.
The big day: Martinez's managerial masterstroke Former Wigan boss Robert Martinez brought in a psychologist in the build-up to the finalBig-spending City, who had won the FA Cup in 2011 and the Premier League in 2012, were second in the table on the day of the 2013 final.

The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, and jokingly approved an Instagram message suggesting he was waiting to be reunited with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham. Paper Round’s view: Matic did well in his first season at United but has since dropped off as the game sped up around him. He seems ready to move on and understandably would rather be playing regularly than sitting on the sidelines.
In this match, it is difficult to choose a winner. It hurts the Brazilians in the camp of the dashboard are good! They make the game straight of course. Neman always played at home is not bad, I would even say good. Therefore, for me, it is extremely difficult to make a choice in someone’s favor, but now I have a certain flair that there will be more than 3 goals, here it’s just 4 even. But then again, the site decided not to take any chances and take 2.5 more for a nice cache too, more than. Those who are afraid can take 2 more is also quite playable. Yes, I agree, the League is quite dangerous in terms of totals, but I could not get past this. Well, at least kill, well, I can’t believe that these two wonderful teams will not be able to accumulate 3 goals. I don’t believe, so I’ll check
According to the Standard, the Catalan club will be allowed to bring in the Brazilian as an 'emergency transfer' due to long-term injuries to forwards Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele. La Liga's transfer policy means an emergency signing can only be brought in if a club suffers from an injury of at least five months, with the player in question being deregistered from the squad.

And if McGinn, who says he's "proud to represent Scotland in any capacity", and Marley are to avoid adding to their nation's list of early exits, they'll have to finish top of Central Region Group C.

The investigation into Mr Teixeira referred to bribery schemes, conducted during the 2006-2012 period, in relation to his role in awarding contracts to companies for the media and marketing rights to CBF, Conmebol and Concacaf competitions," a Fifa statement said. In its decision, the adjudicatory chamber found that Mr Teixeira had breached article 27 (Bribery) of the Fifa Code of Ethics (2018 edition) and, as a result, sanctioned him with a ban for life on taking part in any football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level.
