Steve Bruce has expunged early relegation fears by making his team hard to beat. A defence once so leaky has become as miserly as Mr Scrooge. They don't score many but he has finally got one out of Miguel Almiron!Ole Gunnar's Solskjaer's side have consistently struggled to breakdown stubborn defences this season. The return of Paul Pogba and maybe a start for Mason Greenwood could provide the keys to unpick the lock this time.
I really not see any problems for guests in this round in Czech Republic and I believe that this team will very very easy beat today's rival with at least 3-0. So, home team is last on the table and they are really poor this season. It is natural to expect that they will be next season in 2nd division and it is not real to expect that they can make surprise in this duel. Slavia Praha is in last round beat Jablonec even 5-0 at home, so this team is in fantastic form. Over is ok and real to try also.
Liverpool started strongly when Firmino fluffed a chance to beat the ‘keeper after 40 seconds, and Naby Keita clipped a shot just over the bar after good work from Henderson. There was one last early chance, this time for Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he fizzed his shot wide. In the second half, there was miserable news for Liverpool when Alex Oxlader-Chamberlain rolled his ankle and had to be stretchered off and he could miss a significant period of the second half of the season.
It was also Leicester's seventh consecutive top-flight win, equalling a club record that was set in March 1963 and surpassing any run they were able to manage in their title-winning season in 2015-16. Defeat, meanwhile, leaves managerless Watford bottom of the table and they are now seven points adrift of safety after Southampton beat Norwich to move out of the relegation zone. The Hornets did not manage a shot on target at the King Power Stadium until the 90th minute when Domingos Quina hit a tame effort at Kasper Schmeichel as the visitors slumped to a ninth defeat in 15 games.
All football in England below the three divisions that make up the National League will end immediately and all results will be expunged. It means there will be no promotion or relegation in these leagues. The same will happen in the women's game below the Women's Super League and Championship level. However, the National League, National League North and South, WSL and Women's Championship will continue towards a conclusion "as quickly as possible".

He scored in the Wembley final against Manchester United and gained 47. Ronaldo’s 21. A first trophy in Spain, the Copa del Rey, and his success in becoming the first player to score 40 goals in a Liga season was not enough for Ronaldo to get even close to the man now established as clearly the best player in the world.
Alan Shearer (England) - 8 apps, 7 goals. Tournaments played in: 1996, 2000. Best finish: Semi-finals (1996)England players have not generally shone at the Euros but only Platini and Ronaldo have more goals at them than Shearer. Amazing to recall that he only had five goals for England before Euro 96. Would go on to score 25 in his next 40 caps. A sensation on home turf, winning the golden boot with five goals, and added two more including a rare winner against Germany four years later.
The match was tough, it opens your eyes somewhat. The last Premier League performance (a 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur) was very good. In the bigger picture it was a lesson for the players. They were better than us. It was a reality check for all of us. I thought we could perform better, but we are in fourth and we have to fight until the end.
He was president at the Bernabeu from 1995-2000. Luis Figo remembers a special time Figo said the Galacticos' success was because "each one knew what to do and how he had to work"Like Ronaldo, Figo is one of those players who has represented both Barcelona and Real Madrid. Unlike Ronaldo though, Figo made a direct switch between the two bitter Spanish rivals. Oof. He became the world’s most expensive footballer when he joined Real.
The hosts have a good recent record against their guests, winning four of the pairs last six competitive meetings, and head into Sunday’s clash unbeaten in their last eighteen matches. Both teams have scored and over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last six encounters between these two clubs and we’re expecting another action-packed ninety minutes when the pair meet this weekend.
Sporting this game will be meeting with the away team And this game we can say that an under of 4.5 total goals in this game is a very sure bet as looking at the last game this two teams have meet together they are not used of an over of 4.5 Total goals

HONG KONG, Feb 21 (Reuters) - In a sport often focused on results over performance, Ange Postecoglou will look to remain true to his purist values when Yokohama F Marinos kick off the defence of their J-League title on Sunday. With a possession-based game influenced by the stylings of Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola, the former Australia coach guided Marinos to their first league title in 15 years last season.
The home team's performance is quite good, when the last 5 matches they won 3 wins and 2 losses. Lille had difficulty in securing the ticket to attend the European arena next season. Specifically, they have received the last 2 defeats against Monaco and Paris Saint Germain. That achievement led the landlord to fall to the fourth position in the rankings, if they continue this situation, they will be eliminated from the top 4, so Lille does not allow them to lose. Meanwhile, the performance of the guests is very bad in recent times when the last 5 matches they have failed 5 games in a row.

Wigan midfielder Jensen Weir is expected to complete a £500,000 move to Brighton, which will ensure the Latics are able to pay their players' wages until the end of the season. Wigan's administrators said earlier this week that the club would have to sell players as they look to cover costs, as they have no regular income. Weir became the Latics' youngest ever player in November 2017. He featured for Wigan in an EFL Trophy match aged 15 years and 280 days.
Hello again for everyone tipster in this very nice game. For tomorrow I will try to take good stake for this game between Brescia and Lacio. This is Italy Serie A and this stake is very good for me. I don't know why they give 2.5 for this line but I will get it. Lacio are very good team this season and for them will be not a problem to take this game. Brescia is not easy opponent that's why for me I will give win for Lacio bu they will take this game with one or two goals not more.
If you think back to the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season, many were expecting Sheffield United to struggle the most out of the newly promoted teams. After all, The Blades were on a low budget and were coming off the back of two promotions in three seasons. Meanwhile, Norwich had strolled to the Championship top spot and Aston Villa had spent over u00a3100 million on new players in the summer.
Hull are seven points off the top six. Lampard's winning run continues - the statsChelsea are unbeaten in 16 games against Hull City, winning 14 and drawing two since a 3-0 defeat in October 1988. Hull have won none of their 11 FA Cup games against Chelsea (D3 L8). Chelsea have only lost one of their last 47 FA Cup matches against sides in the second tier (W37 D9), with that loss coming against Barnsley in the 2007-08 quarter-finals.
Less than 100 miles and a fortnight away from their Rotterdam triumph, 39 people died and 600 were injured when fans were crushed against a wall that then collapsed during the European Cup final between Liverpool and Juventus, after crowd trouble culminated in a surge by Liverpool supporters towards the Italian team's fans. The incident led to English clubs being banned from European football for five years.
Zorya is in 3rd place with 43 points while Shakhtar is in 1st place with 59 points. Shakhtar seems that they have won the title but Zorya is still in the battle for 2nd place. Dynamo Kiev is in 2nd place with 45 points and they are near Zorya and I expect from Zorya a good game here to remain in the race for second place that means Champions League qualification. More motivated I see the home team while Shakhtar even with a draw will be ok. Maybe Zorya will try to win this match however against a team like Shakhtar and despite the distance from second place Shakhtar I think wants a positive result here.
Lecce are struggling in their bid to avoid an immediate return to Serie B. They have conceded 11 goals in their last two league games, making it 56 conceded for the league season.

I don't understand these odds at all. Home side are last team on table. They are team who had 9 points deduction and that is a reason why they are at such a poor position. Still they fight with team they have and never give up. If they will win today, they will have their dream about survive in this league a live. Visitors Adana have just 3 points more from Eskisehirspor and we have 1.35 on their win? I prefer to be here on goals as we had in the first part of season 2-3 win for Eskisehirspor away from home. Good luck !!!
Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet has already suggested this week that the qualifiers should be postponed to June, as, while the spread of the coronavirus on the African continent has so far been slow, a number of players from hard-hit nations such as Italy, France, Spain and Germany will be asked to travel.
So while Valencia have drawn more than they have won at Mestalla this season, they are well priced here at around the 11/8 mark to bag the three points. It's also important to remember these sides met four times last season, including their Europa League Quarter-Final clash; it was Los Che who came out best on three occasions, including both fixtures at Mestalla.
It’s been a season of two halves so far for Energetyk-BGU as they prepare for Friday night’s clash with second from bottom outfit, Smolevichi, at their Stadyen RTsOP-BGU, as the home side look to avoid a fourth defeat on the trot.

Gerard Pique was a big reason why they weren’t able to pull that off, with the Barcelona centre back making a number of big tackles and interventions to stop the visitors from finding the back of the net. Clement Lenglet and Martin Braithwaite also impressed for the home side.

Coming out as gay "adds an element of risk" to players' careers, says the first UK-born male professional footballer to come out since Justin Fashanu more than 30 years ago. Former Hull City youth player Thomas Beattie, who spent his career in Canada and Singapore, came out this week. The 33-year-old says he feels "quite liberated" but sexual orientation is an issue sport still needs to address. We're still at a point where this has not really moved too much," he said.
Whether Farke will be in charge after a dreadful run of form remains to be seen, while Norwich's hierarchy has some tough decisions to make concerning the future of the club's playing assets. In November 2019, the Canaries announced losses of £38m for the financial year ending June 2019 before senior staff forecast a profit in the region of £16m for 2019-20. That was before the season was suspended, Norwich warning in April that they could lose up to £35m because of the coronavirus pandemic.
My whole life feels worthless right now because I'm in the entertainment business and we've been shut down, yet the earth's still turning. I've made football so important in my world, but it's not that important. I am not that important. And you know what? It's quite a nice feeling not to be important because it makes you think about other things that are real. Community, looking after each other and recognising the real heroes around us - those people working for the NHS who are protecting us.

Danny Ings has scored in his last two Southampton appearances to take his tally to 18 in 30 matches across all competitions.

Liverpool's procession towards their first title in 30 years continued with a hard-fought win over Manchester United at Anfield. A win that extended their lead at the top of the table to 16 points with a game in hand. Jurgen Klopp's side were the superior side but faced late United pressure as they defended Virgil van Dijk's 14th-minute header before wrapping up the win in style in injury time - goalkeeper Alisson's long clearance setting Mohamed Salah clear to spark wild celebrations among supporters now convinced that long wait is coming to an end.
Karl Robinson's title challengers have won six of their last seven at Kassam Stadium and are now unbeaten in eight at home. Not only have they won six of their last seven home matches, but they've done so in tremendously solid style, conceding zero goals. Well over ten hours of football have passed since Oxford conceded a goal in front of their own fans. In addition to keeping a clean sheet, the U's have generally done a good job of restricting teams, conceding an average of just 2.6 shots on target.

Noah is one position under this rival, but they are playing much better in the previous period, and have power to go for the good result here. If manage to make three points, Noah would go over the direct rival on the table, and make their playoff chance much bigger.

However, the crucial point would arrive on 52 minutes. Johnson rampaged down the left, marauding his way past his manager. I shouted 'Drive at the full-back! Drive at the full-back!' then he chopped one way then the other and decided to have a pop. Cammy Bell stumbles to give Motherwell a 4-1 lead on aggregateAround 25 yards out, Johnson strikes the ball. Well, but not well enough to avoid centre-half Zaliukas, triggering the ball to loop high into the Lanarkshire sky.
