The lads were excellent and hopefully we will do the same against Chelsea in the next round," said 18-year-old Williams. Our aim is to win the FA Cup. I think the [senior] lads will have been extremely proud of us and hopefully us young players will get a chance again. Unusual reasons managers have missed matchesFA Cup fifth-round drawAged 19 years and five days, Toxteth-born Curtis Jones became the youngest first-team captain in Liverpool's history.
Arsenal, who looked rather surprised that Leeds were that good despite being warned by Mikel Arteta, woke up in the second-half, played more like they should have in the first and won thanks to a scrambled Reiss Nelson effort. But only after a coating from Arteta. He shouted a lot,” said Alexandre Lacazette about how their manager reacted at the break.
It was incredible. I asked him: 'So, are you this Mason who scored 16 goals at the weekend? Was it a bit easy for you?' He looked at me and said: 'If it weren't for me, we would have lost 1-0. Greenwood (second from left) is one of a number of promising youngsters at Manchester UnitedGreenwood continued to make an impression in Manchester United's youth teams with his technical ability in particular standing out.
That would be the much talked about 14-team Premiership with three other divisions of 10, a structure that would see Hearts staying in the top flight and Partick Thistle staying in the Championship. The reality of that passing? In terms of the vote the threshold is high. It would need 11 of the 12 Premiership clubs to vote for it, eight of the 10 in the Championship and 15 of the 20 in the other two divisions.
Then comes the big wait, with the Nations League not starting for another 11 days. However, in those 11 days the Scottish Premiership continues, the Community Shield could be played (30 August is a reported date for that), the Women's Champions League semi-finals and final take place and France's Ligue 1 starts (22 August). Only eight of the 48 days in question do not have either Championship play-offs, Champions League or Europa League games (including qualifiers featuring British teams), the Scottish Premiership, Italian or French football, the Nations League or the Women's Champions League.
I know he's loved by City fans and appreciated far beyond Etihad Stadium, but I'm still not sure he quite gets all the wider accolades he deserves for what he's brought to English football since he arrived in 2010," said former City defender Micah Richards.

Jurgen Klopp's runaway leaders are in the hunt for the biggest title-winning points margin.
Tottenham have conceded six goals in their last two away league fixtures. Brighton have only lost one of their last six home league matches. Brighton and Hove Albion Women are ninth in the Super League, three places and seven points above bottom position. They look to climb the table with a home win over Tottenham who start the weekend in seventh place.
Back-to-back defeats by Manchester City and West Ham United had followed six straight league wins, but the return of striker Tammy Abraham proved crucial against Villa. He headed the opening goal for his 11th of the season and set up the winner for Mason Mount with a neat chest-off three minutes after the break.
So I think it should be talked about more and should be celebrated more when girls do earn huge contracts, so for me it's hopefully a changing of the times. It's about time that girls start getting paid more and get what they deserve. Career ambitions?"I want to win trophies, that's part of the reason why I'm at Chelsea. I've always missed out - it feels like I've lost in the final a million times.
I also related to his situation personally because a couple of years earlier my son Jayden had gone into hospital and had been on a ventilator, and I'd had a peek into what his parents go through every single day. I was meant to push him out in his wheelchair but I just wanted to pick Joseph up and take him with us. He was not just our mascot, he was one of us and the courage he had shown epitomised our togetherness and belief as a team.

AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he is "like Benjamin Button" but has "always been young, never old" after scoring twice in a Serie A victory over Sampdoria on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has scored nine goals for the club since rejoining in January following a move from LA Galaxy. The ex-Manchester United star's contract expires at the end of the Italian season. People tell me I'm old and tired but I'm just getting warmed up," he said.
The Premier League resumes after its international break with Liverpool eight points clear at the top. They look to continue their unbeaten run with a win at 12th placed Crystal Palace. The home side are two points adrift of fifth place and seven above the relegation zone. Most of the season has seen them in the top eight but they come into this game having earned just one point from their last four league games.
Tottenham have been knocked out of all cup competitions this season and were eighth in the Premier League before football was suspended. The club's last trophy was the League Cup in 2008. I'm an ambitious player, I want to improve and become better," added Kane. I want to become a top, top player. It's not a definite: 'I'm going to stay there forever. But it's not a 'no' either. I'll always love Spurs, but it's one of those things.

At the time, Bin Hammam was a member of the FIFA Executive Committee and the FIFA Finance Committee. The payment in question triggered several investigations and led to Niersbach's resignation over allegations it was used as a slush fund to buy votes in favour of Germany's bid to host the 2006 tournament.

The entire team and coaching staff, along with the backroom staff, tested on Thursday for Covid-19," the statement added. FC Koln will not confirm any names out of respect for the privacy of those affected. Training can continue as planned, according to the hygiene and infection control measures that have been in place since 6 April in group training. The prerequisite for this is that the relevant group of people are tested further, as stated for in the medical concept of the 'Taskforce Sports Medicine/Special Game Operation' from the DFL.
So that may inflate their points and wins tally, but should be taken into account when looking at their defensive record as well. Only three sides to finish bottom since have conceded fewer goals, even with playing four fewer games. Playing Roy Keane at centre-half may not have been as crazy as it sounds. Forest won the first live game shown on Sky Sports - beating Liverpool - but were rarely out of the relegation zone all season.
Sir Alex Ferguson offered him an extension to his trial but he said no because he wanted a full-time contract. He went on to play plenty of Ligue 1 football with Montpellier and Toulouse, and even played three times in Serie A for Napoli, but we will never know what may have happened had he taken that longer trial.

Other notable squad members: Alex, Zhirkov, Essien, Deco, Joe Cole, Kalou, SturridgeAnother Chelsea manager, another title in his first season and the FA Cup too - but all in very different circumstances. While Mourinho's mantra was to nick a goal and keep it tight at the back (12 of their wins in 2004-05 were by a single goal), Italian boss Carlo Ancelotti's philosophy was based on attacking football and blowing away opponents.
Liverpool want £60m Werner The Mirror believe that Liverpool are interested in Timo Werner. The 23-year-old German international has 18 goals in 17 appearances in the Bundesliga for RB Leipzig this season, and the European Champions will face competition for the player from Chelsea. Liverpool’s Xherdan Shaqiri is wanted by Roma on loan until the end of the season but he is unlikely to leave.
Eight minutes later, Austin won it for Albion when he peeled away at the far post to meet Darnell Furlong's right-wing cross with a textbook header. Relive Saturday's EFL actionAustin's quickfire double took his personal goal tally to six in his past five appearances after a faltering start to his Albion career - and his team back to the top of the Championship, although Leeds will return to the summit if they beat Cardiff at Elland Road (15:00 GMT kick-off).
Football's too different from the 70s and 80s, when you had to work harder to get players and you had to build. Now it's more money-orientated; clubs can go out and buy the league. A period of dominance will be talked about but players move on much more quickly now. They'll leave for an extra few thousand pounds or to move closer to home, but back then people would join Liverpool or Manchester United and want to stay there for the rest of their career.
It was, Ferguson said later, “the first sign we might be on a momentous roll”, and United’s ability to score late goals started to gather the power of a judicial precedent. To those on the inside, United’s modest performance against Bayern enhanced rather than diminished their legend, because it revealed the depth of their collective character.
Posted at 63' Danny Rose (Newcastle United) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Manchester United will face Chelsea and Arsenal will play holders Manchester City in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It is a stellar draw, featuring the Cup's three most successful sides, with Arsenal the record 13-time winners. United, who beat Norwich to reach the last four, have won it 12 times, while Chelsea, who edged past Leicester in the quarter-finals, have eight wins.

They have really recovered from their earlier run; in their last 10 matches, they have five losses. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five matches and only failed to score in two of their last 10 matches. Defensively, Everton need to improve a lot; they have one clean sheet in the last five Premier League matches.
Norwich stayed in the contest and raised the roof when Lewis fired in what proved to be the winner. Collecting Ed Aarons’ cross after it evaded everyone, Lewis took a touch and drilled in his first ever Premier League goal with a strike that oozed quality. Leicester threw the kitchen sink at Norwich late on, but Norwich held on for only their second league win since November.
Despite mounting criticism for carrying on as normal and being so out of step with other competitions around the world, the Premier League agreed to follow government policy. But with several clubs now directly affected by the outbreak the integrity of the league is clearly in jeopardy. So what happens next?Both the Premier League and EFL are desperate to get their remaining matches played. If Euro 2020 is postponed by Uefa for a year on Tuesday, space could perhaps be created in the calendar for any delayed matches to be played, and a case could be made to government to pause the Premier League and EFL seasons for several weeks.
He's here for a day or two so we'll meet up," said Bruce on Ashley's visit to St James' Park. He's been supportive since I walked in the door. If there's someone there who can improve us, we'll act. I think there's been three deals so far in the Premier League so it's difficult. Since Ashley took charge in 2007, six-time winners Newcastle have failed to go beyond the fourth round.
Well it's been a long time since both of the team had their last matches. They had their last matches 3 months ago and all of those matches were friendlies and not serious. They did well at most of the match. Also they had like 5-6 training sessions as a team so I don't think that's a good thing.Given the fact that this is 1st round and both teams are similar in quality and are mostly combined by young players I don't think that we are going to see interesting match here for sure. Draw will be good option here given all the circumstances.
The side have still only averaged a goal a game in their last four games though, a sum that they really need to improve on in order to challenge this season. Melbourne have only scored two or more twice this season but have conceded at the same rate on five separate occasions, both figures that have prevented them from progressing this season, leaving them 14 points behind Sydney FC in first place.
Their fans have accused them of lacking stomach for the fight for much of the season but they couldn't level that charge at them here. They were undone by a much better team, but they battled. The rising confidence in their ranks creaked when Celtic scored against the run of play. The visitors had done nothing in the game to that point, but the first chance they created, they converted. It was clever and clinical.
Playing alongside younger brother Bobby, the Ashington-born centre-half was the late developer who went on to the greatest glory with his country. The man simply known as "Big Jack", of great football stock as a cousin of Newcastle United legend "Wor Jackie" Milburn, also won the game's major club honours as part of Don Revie's Leeds United side and was a fine manager with the likes of Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle before his wonderful spell in charge of the Republic of Ireland.
Midfielder Scott McTominay is out for a longer spell after sustaining knee ligament damage in the win over Newcastle United last month but Solskjaer said that he would not overpay for reinforcements in the January transfer window. We're still looking. If they become available, then it's something we want to do.
Already there is talk of Liverpool going through the league entire season unbeaten -- matching the 'The Invincibles' of Arsenal in 2003/04 and Preston North End in 1888/89. It may be predictable but Klopp is surely wise to avoid such discussions, especially as his club have never won the Premier League and are without a domestic league title for 30 years.
Not only that, but Guardiola’s side have already lost to Wolves this season, falling to a 2-0 defeat at home to them back in October. In fact, Wolves have lost only one of their last four competitive meetings with them, so they will fancy their chances on Friday.
Serie A resumes this weekend with Juventus' bid for a ninth successive title under threat. The Old Lady are top of the table with 63 points but just one point behind are Lazio, setting up what promises to be one of the closest title battles remaining in Europe. Why have Lazio been so strong this season? And which side was in form before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to the campaign? BBC Sport takes a look.
From the previous matches the two teams will play at full strength in the first round and the second round runs during this match From previous matches both teams can always score in the first half and the second half runs during match time .. I predict the away team and the home team will play with the final score over goals in this match... I predict the score for this match is over 3 goals at the last minute of the game running... for the prediction of this ball score is 2-1 or 3-0 in the final round... hopefully this prediction can benefit us all
The players of “Tottenham Hotspur” are overwhelming emotions, but it is understandable, because in recent times the team has little that it turns out. The relegation from the FA Cup nearly led to a fight between the fan and Dyer. According to eyewitnesses, the fan began to insult the player for failure in the game with “Norwich” and for some reason insulted his younger brother. In London, everything is on the nerves, since after the departure from the Cup, parting with the Champions League may follow. In the meantime, the next game with the “Burnley”.
Allegri seemed to fit the bill perfectly and his teams were pragmatic, versatile and resilient and intent on getting the job done quickly. But, after a relentless five years of Allegri, Juventus decided they needed more flamboyance and turned to Sarri who likes his teams to weave intricate, passing patterns at high speed through opposing defences.
Only 33% of Den Haag’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals, which suggests there is a good chance this game will end 1-1 as we have predicted. RKC have actually scored more goals on the road than they have at home this season but have only managed to keep clean sheets in 11% of their away games, while Den Haag have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their home games so far.
