The German would also know that after initially being given a rotational role, he could consolidate his place in the team when Salah and Mane compete in the midseason Africa Cup of Nations in January 2021. Read the full story Premier League clubs join chase for Smalling Chris Smalling could return to the Premier League after his season-long loan with AS Roma is over, with the Sun reporting that Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are in the hunt for the Manchester United defender.
Harrogate and Torquay will face each other in the upcoming match in the UK National League. Harrogate this season have the following results: 10W, 7D and 7L. Meanwhile Torquay have 10W, 4D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Malpas refuses to blame fatigue - "we couldnae even spell it" - but still wonders what might have been. We had two hits at winning a cup and we missed both of them," he says ruefully. The Uefa Cup, Scottish Cup, League Cup and championship all eluded United, leaving the Forfarshire Cup as the only bit of silverware to show for their efforts that season. It just leaves a sour taste," says Ferguson. We did so much that season, but came away with nothing.
There will be disappointment no doubt at not setting a new top flight record of 19 wins on the spin and not surpassing Arsenal's Invincibles of 2003-2004 - providing some much-needed nostalgic cheer for the red half of North London after the Europa League exit this week. But in the wider scheme of things, the Reds need just four more wins to seal their first league title in 30 years.
Melbourne City are slight favourites coming into the match but there isn’t much to choose from between the two sides taking into account poor form and Newcastle having home advantage. Because of that we’re predicting that these two will share the spoils in a 2-2 draw. There should certainly be plenty of goalmouth action but we’re not confident in either side taking away all three points.
Sutton has 3 wins and one draw in their last 4 home games and right now they are in excellent form with 3 wins in a row in the league and after sitting for most of this season in the relegation zone they are now with 36 points, 7 points above the bottom 4 clubs and they did play away at Woking a week ago and won the game with 2-0 in the end and also two recent wins for them at home a 3-2 win with Yeovil and a 3-1 win against Wrexham as well.
Prijovic, who plays his club football for Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad, became the second Serbian player to breach the country's coronavirus measures after Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic was caught dodging quarantine. Criminal charges were pressed against Jovic on March 19 after he left his apartment in a Belgrade suburb, where he was ordered to stay in a mandatory 28-day long self-isolation after returning to the country from Spain.
What we can expect is goals at both ends here. Vitoria Guimaraes have failed to score in just one of their seven home games, and Benfica have conceded in three of their last four on the road. However, the visitors have found the net in each of their last 15 league away games, so backing Both Teams to Score looks attractive.
Well Chinandega made me lose three bets in their last 3 games played, I bet that they shall not lose by more than one goal difference away at Ferretti, they were 2-0 down by the 20 minute of the game receiving a red card by half-time while in the second half they conceded 5 more goals to end up losing 7-0 in the end the biggest loss of the season. They also have a recent 5-1 loss away from home at Esteli and Diriangen is quite solid home team, only lost in early stages to Sabanas with 2-1 at home even defeating the league leaders from Managua FC with 2-0 and same score at home with 2nd placed Esteli as well so of course I trust they can also win this game by at least 2 goals difference.
Four losses in a row is a bad return for any club but after their positive start to the season, where they won their first three games, this poor form has hit Western Sydney harder than most. There have been increased calls for Markus Babbel to be relieved of his position but those seem to be a little premature despite the recent results.
Brighton & Hove Albion are struggling with only 2 wins in the last 9 games and at home they have a 1-1-2 record in the last 4 games failing to score in 2 of the 4 games. They also have a poor record against Chelsea losing all of the previous 5 meetings in the Premier League conceding 13 goals and scoring only once.
The visitors come into this clash under serious pressure. Since the start of November, Fiorentina have won the fewest points in the Serie A (two – D2 L5). That pushed them to make a big change. Out went former AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella – a victim of landing at a few big clubs at the wrong time. Now la Viola kick-off 2020 under the watch of Giuseppe Iachini.
While the hosts poured forward after the break and had 15 shots on goal to Palace's six, goalkeeper Vicente Guaita was rarely troubled by some errant finishing. And Hodgson's landmark day could have ended even more satisfactorily - with Wilfried Zaha remarkably prodding a right-foot effort against the left post late on with the Brighton goal completely unguarded. Brighton's challenging runWhile Brighton racked up 24 shots against Crystal Palace, their best-ever total in a Premier League game, that only served to underline another performance that brought a distinct lack of cutting edge.

Let's try with goals and in this match from Dutch elite league, where is that very real for me, if we just see how this teams are playing. So, ADO Den Haag is interesting team who is in last two matches in league played with even ten goals, and in that period it was 3-3 and 0-4. On the other side, Twente is team who is lead against Ajax, not so long ago 2-0, but finally they are lost that match 2-5. I believe in very interesting duel today in Haag and as I said, I see here plenty of goals.
In the eyes of the bookies, Leeds were the coming force of British football. In the eyes of the English media, Celtic were a fading power, fortunate to get past Benfica and unlikely to live with Leeds, who'd scored 24 goals en route to the semi-final and had conceded none. Celtic, it was written, had played 14 European Cup games since the glories of Lisbon and had won only five. All of this put into evidence of why Leeds were going to win this tie.
Liverpool's away-day efforts in Group E have been mixed. They failed to turn up when losing 2-0 at Napoli, while they won without really getting out of second gear in Belgium, beating Genk by four goals to one.
The strike against Crystal Palace was as clinical as a surgeon's scalpel. Of all the Liverpool forwards this season, I think Sadio Mane has been their most consistent. There have been times when he has carried Salah through games, especially when Roberto Firmino has been absent. However when all three are on song, as we saw against Crystal Palace, there cannot be a better forward line anywhere in the world.
It is the only European league not to be suspended because of coronavirus. While I don’t condone the league continuing during the pandemic, if people are going to keep kicking a football, I’m going to watch it. Except the Nicaraguan league. Even I have my limits. I knew picking a team to follow in the Belarus Premier League would be one of the most important decisions I ever made. It did not feel very BBC to pick a team with a rude name (an FK Slutsk Worldwide Facebook fans page now has almost 6,000 followers) and I’m too much of an underdog to pick Bate Borisov.
The 31-year-old is the club's record scorer and now needs only one more to reach 250 for the Blues in all competitions. His first was a ferocious effort, the third a clinical strike after he had been given a clean sight of goal. But maybe the best indication of the relentlessness with which Aguero goes about his job came from the long conversation he had with Mahrez after the half-time whistle had gone, when he demanded to know why his team-mate had not set him up about five minutes earlier.
Both of these teams are threatening in front of goal. However, both teams are also liable to leak goals at the other end. Monchengladbach have conceded at least two goals in four of their last eight competitive games. Meanwhile, Bayern have conceded at least two goals in five of their last eight competitive away games.

The Norwegian 19-year-old, who has already netted eight times in five Bundesliga matches, stabbed in from close range after a quickfire passing move in the 69th minute and then thundered in an unstoppable shot for his second in the 77th, two minutes after Neymar had levelled for the French champions.
It was clear why it was disappointing, I don't need to say any more. Our reaction was right, we were doing the right things, it is hard to dominate all periods of the game against this team. We started to defend too deep and our energy levels are in a different place to Chelsea's. We need to sustain those periods for longer periods in the game and against top sides. Individual errors cost you games but I can't fault the effort, commitment and for putting in place what we practised.
Also did well to refrain from violence, given the frustration that waiting for a pass from Aaron Connolly must entail.

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) confirmed on Tuesday that all three of their main stadia - Barbourfields in Bulawayo, Mandava in Zvishavane and the National Sports Stadium in Harare - had failed inspection visits by CAF last November. They are due to host Algeria in March in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and finish that campaign at home to Zambia in September.
Gennaro Gattuso was looking for a reaction from his side after they fell to a shock 3-2 defeat at home by Lecce last weekend, and Mertens’ curling shot on the 65th minute was enough to edge them to victory. The Belgian's goal was a rare moment of quality in a keenly contested encounter, and moved him to within one goal of Marek Hamsik's club record tally of 121 strikes for the club.

But I want more all the time and I think that the last week has been a good example of that for us. I saw us go to Manchester City and trade with them like a big team who was in and around that level, then at West Ham we were not. Today we recovered. That shows me where we are to have a real potential to getting where we want to be, but also aware of the little tough bumps in the road.
City have been incredibly consistent at the King Power Stadium this term, losing just one of the 10 games they've contested there since the summer, and the Foxes came out on top in 12 of their last 15 matches home and away since the first week of October.
Vfl Wolfsburg beat Swedish side Malmo 3-0 away to breeze through 5-1 on aggregate and FC Basel also sailed through with a 1-0 home win over APOEL Nicosia that secured a 4-0 aggregate victory against the Cypriots. LASK Linz upset visiting Dutch side AZ Alkmaar 2-0 with a Marko Raguz brace which gave the Austrians a 3-1 aggregate success.
Sassuolo have conceded the most goals in the opening 30 minutes in Serie A this season (10), on the other hand, Cagliari have conceded the fewest in the same period (two). However, the hosts tend to bite back after the break. Considering only the second-half of games, Sassuolo would be 3rd in the table with 24 points, only behind Lazio (33) and Juventus (31). Will the Neroverdi make another slow start here?
They added: "Football should only resume when the health authorities and governments say it is absolutely safe and non-disruptive of health services being delivered to the populations. Safety of the players is one of Fifa's main priorities. One concern in this regard is that the higher-than-normal frequency of matches may increase the risk of potential injuries due to a resulting player overload. How it will workIn competitions where less than five substitutions are currently allowed, teams can now use up to five substitutions during the match.

If they go well, we can kiss relegation goodbye. We've got players coming back from injury so suddenly my squad looks different, whereas earlier in the season we needed all hands on deck. Brighton manager Graham Potter: "It's a sore one for us. I thought we, apart from the scoreline, did a lot well in the game, had chances, didn't take them and of course if you don't. They didn't do too much to get their goal.

However, a run of only one win - and a paltry return of just six goals - in nine top-flight games before today had seen Newcastle slip to 14th in the Premier League. The 59-year-old shifted to a flat back four against Burnley, with club record signing Joelinton operating on the left of an attacking midfield three and Gayle - starting for just the third time in the Premier League this season - leading the line.
The home team has reported that six of their players won’t be able to participate in the upcoming clash, and among them the most important ones are their top scorer Domenico Berardi, starting centre-back Gian Marco Ferrari and starting left-back Rogério. Without Berardi on the field, you should keep an eye on Francesco Caputo, another great forward in their squad, who netted a brace in their most recent win over Bologna, and in total scored 5 goals so far.
NorthEast United will host Bengaluru for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average team in this league. North East are currently on the 5th place with 10 points. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. However, I expect, they will try to make a positive result in this game. They probably want to stay in the race for one of the top four places in the table. Also, we have Bengaluru who's is more ambitious team in this season. True, in previous game Bengaluru lost 2-3 against average Mumbai City. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - North East Utd to win.
Mark Lawrenson: It is not fool-proof because there will be contact with people from 'outside' but it would cut down that risk of infection as much as possible, which would make a difference. Danny Murphy: A mega event, with teams staying in isolation camps is all out-of-the-box thinking but it has to be. We have never faced anything like this before. There is always going to be an argument against whatever solution you come up with because it is not going to suit everyone.
Aside from a single victory at Reading, Birmingham have picked up only four points from their last 10 matches. They come into this game having just ended a three-game run in the league, having shipped three goals in defeats to Hull and West Brom. This is certainly a downward spiral for Pep Clotet and his side, with the manager’s limitations perhaps coming to the fore.
