Villarreal have managed to score in every away game this term despite their poor record, so we do envisage El Submarino Amarillo continuing that trend here. Valencia have kept just two clean sheets in their seven home league matches. Los Che have averaged just under two goals per fixture in their own backyard, so a 2-1 scoreline looks the way to go for this Saturday's derby encounter.
Pep Guardiola will probably view this game as the ideal tonic for a bad couple of weeks. The ban aside, City will be concerned about their poor finishing this season. They come into this game on the back of successive matches in which they have failed to score, the first time this has happened during Pep's reign.
Former Celtic midfielder Murdo MacLeod: ''I don't know how many Celtic fans were jammed into Love Street, but they went berserk, the noise in the stadium was incredible. We realised that Dundee must have gone ahead. We went on to win 5-0, against a very good St Mirren side, but you didn't want to go daft or get carried away until we got the final score from Dundee. We weren't sure if that game was over.
[[LIVESTREAMs!]] Sevilla vs Atlético Madrid LIVE Coverage 19 minutes ago — Sevilla Live and Atlético Madrid are meeting up for their first leg of the season at 9 a.m. ET on Thursday at Stamford Bridge. The teams split ...
We can genuinely hope and believe in having a national team that can be up there and play well internationally. Fredheim added. The level changes all the time, but this generation of players now, it is so much fun. I was lucky enough to be a reporter at National team games in the 90’s where we were in the world championships and now I kind of get the feeling that this young generation of talented players can really achieve something big now.
A lot of the time, these hyper-talented ultra-focused multi-millionaires can seem removed from the cares of the everyday working man. But watching Arsenal tear about the place against Manchester United, you could see the same relief, the same sense of liberation that courses through every office when they hear “Yeah, so and so won’t be in today.
United were by far the better side after the break, without threatening or creating much until, on 67 minutes, Harry Maguire robbed Matt Doherty and fed Anthony Martial, who times his ball perfectly, meeting Juan Mata's run; somehow, Mata stayed ahead of the chasing defenders, sat Ruddy down, and lifted a fine finish over him and into the net.
The United Arab Emirates are in action on Tuesday in Doha, with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain playing on Wednesday in the Qatari capital. All three countries, along with Egypt, cut political, trade and transport ties with fellow Gulf Arab state Qatar in mid-2017 over accusations that it supported terrorism.
There have also been calls for an investigation into whether horse racing's Cheltenham Festival - staged in the second week of March - should have gone ahead. There are concerns it may also have led to a high number of local coronavirus cases, with 251,684 spectators in attendance across the four days. Professor Gabriel Scally, former director of public health in the south west of England and visiting professor of public health at the University of Bristol, said there "seemed to be" a high number of Covid-19 cases in Gloucestershire.
Rasen Ball Leipzig against Benfica here, meeting of the UEFA Youth League football which is played this afternoon at 3:00 pm. Favorite guests for the victory of the match - Even by me - they come from an external success for 2-3 on Lyon while the hosts are coming from an external victory for 0-2 against Zenit Saint Petersburg. Benfica has the best technical quality here and with a win it would definitely lock up first place in the group so let's try an sway win mark here at 2.00 and Good Luck to all of you with your soccer sports bets!
What a scramble! 90’ That was the chance to win it! Darder ended up free 10 yards out from goal, but he had to generate all the power himself with the header and Oblak made the diving save to prevent the Espanyol winner! KEY STATS Atletico Madrid have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine matches.
Can Liverpool go a whole Premier League season unbeaten? Can they eclipse Manchester City's record total of 100 points in 2017/18?While these seem very real possibilities, other figures are already set in stone. Liverpool have gone 38 league games without defeat since they lost at Manchester City last January. In the same period Spurs have lost 16 matches, including three to Klopp's team. The champions-elect have amassed 104 points across that period, the biggest by any team in the competition's history - and they are the first team in Europe's top-five leagues to win 20 of their first 21 games.
Another exceptional match this. We play in the second division, in Spain, of soccer, where Recreativo Huelva will play against the visiting team Cordoba. For this match I believe that Cordoba can easily win this match. I don't understand why bookies pay so high odds here. The odds of this match have fallen a lot in the last hours, from the odds of @ 2.45 to the odds of @ 2.00. For me a drop like this is very significant. The betting house Leon Bets still offer the odds of @ 2.00, so I think it may be a good idea to bet 10 out of 10 stake here
The U’s are normally known for their defensive strength but over the course of this run, they have proven that they are much more than a side who just keeps the opposition at bay as they have scored on a pretty regular occurrence. The hosts have managed to find the back of the net at least two times in each of their last four home league games and know if that they are able to earn three points on New Years Day, they could find themselves in the top three come 5pm.
I have never heard a word from Abramovich: 'Let's get this ready for a sale,' or something," Buck told The Guardian "Because of the political situation, there are people who think they might want to buy Chelsea at a bargain. We do get inquiries and we really have nothing to say to these people. Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi.
I went for a non-refundable deal because I didn't think there was any reason the tickets would be cancelled. That was £200 that left my account that I won't get back. There was no apology in the email and that is very, very poor. Uefa is hiding from their customers'Tom Lowman thought he had tickets for him and his son to watch the attractive Group F fixture between Germany and Portugal in Munich on Saturday, 20 June.

'Correct Score' players can try a 4-0 win for the hosts, who average 3.86 goals for at home this term. Hamilton have failed to score in four out of seven on the road, while they've not scored on either of their last two visits to Celtic Park.
United are aiming to win the FA Cup for a record-equalling 13th time this season and Solskjaer - who won the trophy twice as a player for the club - knows the importance of adding more silverware to the Old Trafford cabinets. When you are at United, yes, you need to win trophies," he said. That's what we've done in our history, and we want to win trophies playing the right way. We've had some great games against Chelsea over the years; this is the fourth year running we've played them in the cup so hopefully it will be an exciting game.
The Blues have a forward who can prey on this weak Luton side. Since the start of last season, Birmingham City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz has scored more headed goals than any other Championship player (11). He should prey on the worst defence in the league, while the visitors’ will get plenty of joy going forward, having scored the most set-piece goals in the league. Five of Luton's last seven league goals have come via set pieces (two corners, two free-kicks, one penalty).

Liverpool said on Friday that Dalglish, 69, was admitted to hospital for an infection. He required intravenous antibiotics but was asymptomatic. The former Scotland international is now back home where he is self-isolating and he hailed the healthcare workers at the National Health Service (NHS) as they battle the pandemic that has killed over 108,000 people worldwide.
I don't even want to talk about David Luiz. Did you know? De Bruyne has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season (25: Nine goals and 16 assists). It is also his best goal involvement tally in a single top-flight campaign in England. Fernandes: It was the introduction of Paul Pogba and Marcus Greenwood that changed Manchester United's fortunes against Tottenham but it was Bruno Fernandes who looked the part.
The quarter-finals of this season’s Copa del Rey were ripe for upsets. Not one of the four ties went the way of the odds, with Athletic Club, Granada, Mirandes and Real Sociedad all pulling off upsets. Given this trend it might be foolish to predict anything from this point on, but the pieces are falling into place for a final between the two Basque rivals, Athletic and La Real.
Aston Villa may be struggling with injury problems up front, but they have still scored in six of their last seven in all competitions and have failed to score in just one Premier League home match this term. This makes backing Both Teams to Score look a favourable option on Sunday.
Goodison would have been rocking for two reasons - firstly because Liverpool are the enemy, but also because Everton have their own point to prove after losing 4-0 at Chelsea on Sunday. One way or another, whether the stadiums stay empty or the season is suspended for a few weeks, it is just a matter of time before Liverpool win the title. Everyone is asking 'how will they celebrate?' if they cannot get into the ground where and when the title is won but, after waiting 30 years to see it happen, I am sure Liverpool supporters will not mind waiting a few extra weeks for there to be a party.
They were far from their best with Takumi Minamino's saved effort after 28 minutes their first real chance. But from that point until the final whistle, the new Premier League champions dominated. Van Dijk equalised when he headed a looping effort into the top corner from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross - his fifth Premier League goal of the season. Origi then powered home in the second half to end a 23-game goal drought that stretched back to December.
Three of the last four matches between these teams featured at least three goals. Southampton are unbeaten in their last four away matches in the Premier League.

When Premier League club executives link up for a crucial video conference call on Friday they will do so amid unprecedented pressure, and mounting unease. The tension surrounds not only how the plan to resume the football season behind closed doors at a small number of sealed and approved venues should develop, but whether it is realistic, responsible or indeed appropriate to pursue it at all. The sense is that hopes of a return to action by early June now hang by a thread.
Barcelona have sacked coach Ernesto Valverde and replaced him with former Real Betis coach Quique Setien. Valverde, 55, helped the club to two successive La Liga titles and they lead on goal difference this season. However, the Catalan side have produced a series of unconvincing displays under his leadership and have failed to reach the Champions League final. Setien, 61, led Betis to their highest finish since 2005 and to the Copa del Rey semis before leaving in May.
The midweek after the replays are scheduled would fall in between the two rounds of winter-break Premier League games so make even less sense, and the week after that (starting 17 February) sees Spurs and Liverpool play in the Champions League. Spurs and Southampton are free on the Tuesday and Wednesday before the fifth-round ties, although the game would have to be played on the same night as Champions League ties.

Clive Tyldesley's commentary during Manchester United's last-gasp win over Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final summed up the season perfectly. United became the first - and only - English team to win all three trophies in the same campaign, and their Premier League triumph was the first of three in a row. Strikers Andrew Cole and Dwight Yorke combined in a formidable partnership to net 53 goals that season, while summer signing Jaap Stam was a rock in front of Schmeichel in the Danish keeper's last season at Old Trafford.
Sunderland beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 in their last meeting, but we don’t expect such a big score line again, looking at Sunderland’s away record. They have scored one or none in 14 of their last 15 away matches. Sunderland have never lost to Bristol in their four previous meetings, actually they have won all. The two sides have not been scoring first half goals in their most recent matches and we can predict a continuation of this. A 1-0 win for Sunderland will be a good pick here.

It's a bit like the end of the close season when you resume training individually. Despite the resumption of training the German Football League (DFL) made it clear last week it was not known if or when the season would resume. The season has been suspended until at least April 30 with the DFL due to meet next Friday to decide the next step.

It came as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side rallied in the second half, but it was to no avail as Salah struck and Liverpool march relentlessly on, with 21 wins from their first 22 games as United, the only team to take points off them this season, were beaten. Liverpool simply unstoppable Liverpool have now scored in each of their 22 Premier League games this seasonIt is simply a case of when the coronation comes as Liverpool reeled off yet another win en route to the Premier League title - not only doing their own job but watching in satisfaction as the chasing pack, chasing from afar it must be said, fall further behind as Manchester City and Leicester City drop points.

With him at the helm, Everton believe they can succeed where Bayern and Napoli have failed. Ancelotti won a Premier League and FA Cup Double with Chelsea in 2010Ancelotti first won over the Premier League when he guided Chelsea to their first Double. Beloved by his players, he went on to manage Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Napoli, though while he may have added to his trophy haul, criticism of his work has led many to question if the 60-year-old is the right man to take over at Goodison Park.
It will be exactly the same in 2020. Barca had no complaints with the officiating in the 'Clasico' but furiously protested two decisions in their 2-2 draw at Real Sociedad in their previous game, including issuing an official complaint to Spanish soccer federation president Luis Rubiales. There are endless debates in football, pre-match discussions, post-match shows, newspaper columns to fill and people always have something to say," he added "It's normal that people talk about referee's decisions a lot but we cannot fix it, controversy will always exist, and everyone can interpret decisions however they like.
Premier League players have launched a "collective initiative" to help generate funds for the National Health Service and distribute them "where they are needed most". The initiative - named #PlayersTogether - has been set up to "help those fighting for us on the NHS frontline" amid the coronavirus pandemic. It has partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT). Health Secretary Matt Hancock "warmly welcomed" the "big-hearted decision".
Paderborn, who have eight points from 14 games, moved off the bottom of the table on goal difference from Cologne who earlier lost 2-0 at Union Berlin where Sebastian Andersson scored both goals for the hosts, who are 10th. The Swede fired the opener in the 33rd minute from a corner and struck again five minutes after the break as he ran onto Christian Gentner's pass and his shot trickled over the goal line before Sebastian Bornauw could clear it.
Sarabia was filmed ranting at players during the Clasico at the weekend, and it has become a talking point in Spain. Spanish newspaper Marca says that while those higher up at the club aren’t worried over his actions, they don’t want them to take place where fans and the press can see them. Eder SarabiaEurosport Paper Round’s view: Given the fragile nature of the club, and the relationship between the players and executives, you can understand both reactions.
