It seemed such a left-field situation to us players and it was so well documented that we were left thinking that it must be true. Lescott did not make it off the City bench in the 2013 final but played in two other FA Cup finals - losing with Everton in 2009 and winning with City in 2011Gary Caldwell, Wigan's club captain: "We had been seeing a psychologist in the build-up to the final, and the day before the game we did an exercise where the players and staff had to write down why we were proud to be walking out at Wembley with each other.
United are showing promise under Solskjaer but if they want to start competing for the top prizes again then they need to start getting their recruitment right. WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH. It's rarely a foreign manager with no track record in England that clubs turn to pull them out of trouble. After struggling Watford turned to Nigel Pearson, they have won two, drawn two and lost just once and clawed themselves off the bottom of the table.
Eight of the last ten Lazio away league games have seen 2.5 goals scored in them. The last four Atalanta matches in all competitions have seen 26 goals scored. Atalanta had a 4-1 home win over Sassuolo on Sunday and are fourth in Serie A. They host Lazio who are second in the table and haven't lost in their last 21 league games.
At the other end, Vicente Guaita denied Watford twice in the space of three minutes in the second half, first tipping a stinging long-range effort from Troy Deeney over the bar before keeping out Abdoulaye Doucoure's looping header. Christian Benteke also came close as he attempted one of his trademark bicycle kicks, but despite making good contact with the ball he could only find the side netting.

LiverpoolJosh Sexton - The Anfield Wrap It's hard to think of any area that needs strengthening as a matter of urgency. Some cover at full-back probably wouldn't go amiss but it would mean fewer opportunities for the youngsters who have performed so well when called upon. We've been linked with a number of really reputable players, which says a lot about our standing in world football at the moment.
Palace had a first-half goal by Max Meyer ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR) after fleet-footed winger Wilfried Zaha was found to have been offside during the build-up. There were no such doubts when they eventually did take the lead, as defender James Tomkins headed Luka Milivojevic's precise freekick in off the underside of the crossbar five minutes into the second half.
It's hardly positive thinking. DE BRUYNE ABSENCE FELT Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne missed around half of Manchester City's games last season due to injuries but Pep Guardiola's side still managed to win the title. On Sunday though his absence appeared to weaken the side significantly with Bernardo Silva struggling in the playmaker role and David Silva left on the bench.
Atalanta raced to a two-goal lead before being pegged back to 2-2 by halftime but then scored three more in a devastating 15-minute spell early in the second half and added another two late in the game for good measure. Lecce's Giulio Donati scored at both ends. Serie A's leading scorers took their tally to 70 goals in 25 games as they stayed fourth in the table, and in the Champions League spots, with 48 points.
It is early March and the Championship is most certainly entering its "business end", with a potentially pivotal weekend on the way for teams at the bottom of the pile. Six of the current bottom seven clubs face each other on Saturday and the congested nature of the bottom third means plenty of twists and turns could occur before 2 May. After two "big-hitters" dropped down to League One in the past two seasons in the shape of Sunderland and Ipswich Town, could another club with a rich history of top-flight achievements follow them? How does the table look? With each club having 10 games left to play, Luton Town, Barnsley and Middlesbrough occupy the relegation spaces, but that situation could be very different come Saturday once the results are in from these three key fixtures:Charlton Athletic v MiddlesbroughStoke City v Hull CityWigan Athletic v Luton TownTo add to the intrigue, those games could also have a big impact on the shape of the table just above.

This deal seems to be about buying something. But there is a wider picture. Saudi Arabia shows the world its face of reform. But it has another face where the reality is far from what is shown to the world. This is why we want this (deal) to be stopped and not be completed. What do we know about the takeover?Mike Ashley has owned Newcastle since 2007 and put the club up for sale in 2017. The proposed Saudi takeover is thought to be worth some £300 million.
Son Heung-min struck in stoppage time to give Tottenham a dramatic 3-2 victory over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash at Villa Park. Though Spurs have not been at their best recently, they’ve nonetheless been able to pick up points and will no doubt have felt confident going into today’s clash against league strugglers, Villa.
This is one very interesting match who will be played today in Ecuador A league, or in the best league in this country. I believe in plenty of goals here, because both rivals are playing very offensive all the time and I believe that they will continue that way and this time. Home team, or Orense is in last match in league played 2-2, while in the same time, they are played in last six matches, even five times, with three or more goals. 3-0, 2-1 and 3-0 are guests played in last three matches, so everything is pretty clear.
the Al Ittihad fc team and the Smouha fc team, meet in Egypt Premier League. The Ittihad fc team is in 5th position with 25 points Collected. While guest team the Smouha fc team came in 8th place by collecting 19 points Collected.
The visitors are at the moment the worst on the road team in the Premier league that's why I believe on home victory here. With a very poor record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 lost game, I don't think they will get something good against Burnley at home in front of their home fans.
Postponing the tour is regrettable, but I would like to thank the Bangladesh Cricket Board for the open, honest and responsible discussions that led us to this mutually-agreed position," CA Chief Executive Kevin Roberts said. As we know, the global cricket calendar is very busy but we will do everything we can to honour our commitment to Bangladesh and will continue to work with the BCB on an agreed date.
Each of that trio of wins were secured at the Amex Stadium, though circumstances seemed to fall Brighton's favour in each contest. The Seagulls saw off a Tottenham Hotspur side in the grip of a crisis, before a late penalty and own goal saw them earn a turnaround win over Everton.
Orsha fc have suffered a very embarrassing loss when they have been beaten with eight goals and that is what causes me to choose many goals to be scored which is above two goals. This game us between Orsha against Lida fc.

Sport Latest ends Unless a huge story breaks in the next hour, this will be the last post in the liveblog tonight, but we'll be restarting tomorrow morning. Lorenzo Sanz dies Former Real Madrid head Lorenzo Sanz has died, in a case believed to be linked to the coronavirus pandemic which has struck Spain, and Madrid in particular, extremely hard in recent weeks.
The players responded with an excellent display and that system could be deployed again on Wednesday. Zidane has said he likes to regularly vary the formation to make it more difficult for opponents to prepare to play against them, and we can't rule out a surprise selection from either manager. It would be even more surprising, though, if the names of De Jong and Valverde do not feature in the starting XIs.

Cucurella released a statement on Twitter in response to reports he had used the word "mico", Spanish for monkey, during an altercation with the Brazilian defender, saying he had used the word "pico", Spanish slang for mouth. The Spaniard, 21, wrote: "I would like clarify that at no point did I insult or belittle Militao.

He added: "But now I need to be calm for a few days and see what happens. Pochettino led Spurs to four successive top-four finishes and last season's Champions League final, which they lost to Liverpool. But Tottenham struggled for consistency under him this term and were 14th in the table when he was dismissed. He has returned to his native Argentina following his exit from the London club and has been linked with Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
In the second half, United looked a little brighter, but had to make do without the support of Ed Woodward who failed to show following an attack on his house by a group of fans in midweek. Diogo Dalot spurned a glorious chance to snatch all three points for the hosts but he failed to guide his header into the corner.
Four of RB Leipzig's past five Champions League goals have been penalties, including each of the past three. Only one team has ever scored more than four penalties in a single Champions League campaign - Barcelona in 2011-12 (five). All three of Spurs' Champions League defeats this season have been against German teams (two against Bayern Munich, one against RB Leipzig). Only one team has ever lost more than three in a single campaign all against teams of the same nation, with Leeds United falling to all five of their defeats in 2000-01 against Spanish opponents.
Honka have drawn their last match against HIFK by 1-1 goals and they will be motivated to show an improved performance here in this match.2 Inter meanwhile won their last match against Mariehamn by 3-0 goals and they are playing good lately. But I expect honka to play good here and secure a victory over hosts. Honka have won 3 of their last 5 matches and they were unable to win their last 2 matches. They will try to secure the victory and get back on the winning ways. They also have won their last 2 away trips against Inter.
Both teams scored in 57% of Emmen’s home games and in 57% of PSV’s away games this season and the hosts have only failed to score in 14% of their home games and the visitors have failed to score in the same percentage of their away games, which is why we have backed both teams to score this weekend.
Dinamo Brest is just 3rd from bottom after 6 rounds being played in this new season in Belarus this with only 7 points won coming after winning the title last term in Belarus, while they have reached the final of the cup competition this week but very troublesome way to do so winning the first leg with Soligorsk 2-0 at home and having the lead 2-0 at half-time of the return leg on the road, they ended up losing that game with 4-2 in the end and barely qualified to the final, but really defensive is awful for them at this moment and I see the hosts scoring, but their attack remains one of the best in the league.
Both teams have scored in six of the last seven Tottenham games. The three Tottenham games played since the arrival of Jose Mourinho have seen 16 goals scored. Only once in the last seven Tottenham away league games has only one team scored. Both teams have scored in the last four Manchester United games.

He played just once for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, but he has not forgotten it, getting flown out by private jet for a pre-season friendly in Germany. I remember it like it was yesterday," he said. And then getting the call from Jurgen saying I was coming on. Having grown up there, to put a shirt on and play against them would be special. And they've met before. Liverpudlian - and boyhood Liverpool fan - Paul Edwards made 364 appearances for Shrewsbury Town between 1992 and 2001Shrewsbury and Liverpool have met just once before, 24 years ago also in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
So I said if you don't know the information, why would I put myself at risk?"At Monday's meeting, Premier League clubs agreed to stage one of the return-to-training protocols. As well as training being restricted to groups of no more than five, sessions must last no longer than 75 minutes for each player. Social distancing must be adhered to. Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce said the league had been "meticulous" over the protocols and "done everything they possibly can to make sure that everything is safe" for the return to training.

Additional clashes are with the European Under-21 Championship, set for June in Slovenia and Hungary, and the UEFA Nations League finals. Elsewhere, the Copa America in Argentina and Colombia, which is set to take place this summer and features a host of Europe-based players, could follow Euro 2020 in being pushed back by a year.
Graham Potter has done an excellent job since taking charge on the south coast, and Brighton’s four point cushion on the drop zone is testament to that. However, Saturday could see his rather limited squad starved of opportunities against the well organised Palace defence, and that tips the scales in the hosts’ favour.
He said: "The whole attitude and focus of the team felt really strong after the Liverpool game. We have to replicate what we did today to some degree every week. We had a good early patch in the season, we've struggled for consistency in this period, which is understandable. But we have to work as we worked today to show we can finish with strength and get better.
Things haven't exactly gone well at home, where Birmingham are without a win in three, two of which they've lost. It's not that teams go to St. Andrew's and run riot, but Saturday's hosts struggle to seriously outplay teams, especially in terms of goals. They've conceded a very respectable nine in ten games, though they've only scored 11. Therein lies the problem. Mediocrity is all they'll achieve if they're producing mediocre numbers.
Barcelona have become only the second side to avoid defeat in 20 consecutive Champions League group stage games (won 14, drew six), after Real Madrid between 2012 and 2017 (30 matches). Inter boss Antonio Conte has failed to progress from the group stages in two of his four Champions League seasons as a manager (also in 2013-14 with Juventus). This was Barcelona's first win away at Inter in any European competition since September 1959 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final (4-2).
The hosts may have slumped into Serie A's relegation zone, but they'll be looking to build on the four points they've claimed across their last three at this ground. They have managed to score in all but one of their home clashes this term, while they've scored in 14 of their last 15 at home. That scoring form could be crucial in their relegation battle moving forward, while this is the perfect chance for them to boost that tally.
Eintracht's visit to Mainz on Monday will be a particularly special occasion for Mainz's new manager Achim Beierlorzer. This will be Beierlorzer's first home game in charge of his new club. Beierlorzer kicked his tenure off to the dream start last weekend as his side thumped Hoffenheim 5-1. He will hope to continue his good start on Monday.
The league is one of the few trophies the former River midfielder has yet to win in a victorious career as coach. To add a further layer of intrigue to the occasion, Boca's dramatic win came against a side coached by Diego Maradona, the Boca fan and former player who has publicly fought with another Boca idol and now the club's vice-president, Juan Roman Riquelme.
