Also because his (Rose's) performance against Liverpool was not phenomenal. Then on the Thursday. I got a call from my medical staff saying Danny was calling them with a problem in his back and he wouldn't train the next day. It was a bit of a surprise that on the Friday he was ready to train, but even so I decided then to play with Tanganga and have Ryan on the bench.
The Leicester striker scored most of his 19 goals so far in the first half of the season, although he did net twice in the game immediately before the league was suspended. Could 2018-19's joint top-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or regular-challenger Sergio Aguero replicate their start-of-season form to steal the honour from Vardy?Another man to watch is Mohamed Salah, who matched Aubameyang's tally of 22 last season, was outright top-scorer with 32 in 2017-18 and was on a run of 10 goals in 14 games before the league was halted.
Back to their best under Zidane, it's hard to see Real Madrid losing this match. The talismanic figure on the touchline inspires his team to extraordinary heights and another haul of trophies by the season's end beckons. Don't be surprised to see the Copa Del Rey among their collection. Back the home team to win with a clean sheet.
This time it's Roger who is presented with a golden chance, but he fires clear over the crossbar. Oh dear. GOAL! Barcelona 2-1 Levante: Levante have got a goal back, but it's surely too late for them. Rochina took a first-time shot from 20 yards out, it might have picked up a slight deflection on its way through, and Ter Stegen couldn't reach quickly enough, palming the ball into the corner of his net.
Southampton got a vital win at the weekend as they defeated Watford. It ended a long wait for a home league victory and a game against Norwich City gives them a chance to make it two in a row. However, Norwich have earned four points from their last two games and only trail the Saints by a point. Between them, these two sides have conceded 62 goals and a bet on both scoring (a regular occurrence in Southampton home games) is the tip for this match.
Hibernian striker Florian Kamberi has completed his "dream" move to Rangers on loan until the end of the season. The Ibrox club turned their focus to adding a forward after Jermain Defoe was ruled out for up to five weeks. Kamberi, 24, scored 20 goals in 65 games in two spells at Easter Road after signing from Grasshoppers. Ever since I came to Scotland it has been a dream for me to move to Rangers and it has happened today, so I am a very, very happy man," he said.

There were wins for Brighton and Southampton, while Tottenham drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace. Have a look at my team of season and you can create your own at the bottom. Goalkeeper - Ederson (Man City) When Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola dispensed with the services of former England goalkeeper Joe Hart I wondered what he was doing. When I saw Ederson's brand of goalkeeping, I couldn't make up my mind whether Guardiola had bought a goalkeeper or another centre-back by mistake.

I really see plenty of goals in this match from Germany Bundesliga and that is pretty real to expect. I was watched Hertha few times this season and almost every their duel in last period was 2-2, 2-3 or something similar. Of course, Dortmund is better team and this team is coming in this match after 3-3 in league and also 0-4, while in meantime, they are lost and in Champions league against Barcelona 1-3. I believe here in at least four goals and maybe even more than that. That is reason why I will try this option here, it is ok.

When you have won the Champions League three times as a manager, your words carry weight. Since Carlo Ancelotti's first game as Everton manager in December, only Premier League leaders Liverpool have earned more points than their city rivals. Yet the upsurge in form - their 17 points in that period putting them within touching distance of a Europa League place after a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace - has come courtesy of the Italian's reassuring calmness rather than any sweeping changes.
The Spanish FA is scheduled to discuss the issue at a meeting on Wednesday. La Liga is also working on plans to allow players to report abusive chants to a referee, who can then take action.

Opta have his expected goals in that time at 2. This weekend, Wolves are at Brighton. Allan Saint-Maximin - brilliant to watch, but so rarely delivers in terms of fantasy points. However, with Newcastle facing Southampton (h), Burnley (a) and Palace (h), the next few weeks could see the winger turn expected goals of 1. Serge Aurier - having nailed down the right-back spot under Jose Mourinho, the Ivorian is a potential points goldmine.

Odds on goals are very small in this match, but never mind, I will still take that. So, it is the fact that both of rivals are very very offensive and I hope that both of them can continue that way and this time. Municipal Jalapa U20 is excellent team and in last five matches, this team is even four times played with three or more goals. Real Esteli U20 is similar team and they are also team who is playing for a goal more than rival. In last round, they are won in league 4-1 at home. Over is real.
Ozil 'very close' to shock January loan move Mesut Ozil is reportedly "very close" to completing a loan move to Turkish club Fenerbahce, according to the Sun. The Arsenal playmaker has found himself out of favour at the Emirates Stadium in the last 18 months under former manager Unai Emery and the Sun state that incoming new boss Mikel Arteta "has been tasked with offloading" Ozil by club officials.
'Lyon Win to Nil' makes plenty of appeal ahead of this fixture. Toulouse lack the defensive strength to win this match, but it's also easy to feel that Lyon can keep them quiet at the other end too. The hosts haven't conceded more than once at home in Ligue 1 this season, which is impressive since they've faced some decent sides such as PSG, Rennes and Lille. They've also kept three clean sheets against better teams than Toulouse, so this must be viewed as opportunity not only for Lyon to win but to keep a clean sheet too.
Corriere dello Sport defended its "Black Friday" headlineOne pointed out that "obviously it's only after foreign outlets criticised it that the clubs magically realised they don't like it either… and want to distance themselves". Website Fanpage. Italy: "First, the image went viral, and then it became news… It's only across the border that the idea was immediately seen for what it is: a surreal choice.
That will go down like a lead balloon in East London. Did you know? Rice gained possession nine times against Newcastle, more than double the number of any of his team-mates. And no other player on the pitch made more than his three key passes. Saka: This was without doubt the best away performance I have seen from Arsenal since their return from the lockdown - in fact, since Arteta took charge. The star of the show was Bukayo Saka.
It will definitely draw more eyes to the league and the fact they're willing to invest shows what we have going here. Manchester City will continue to make part of their Etihad Campus available to the NHS even after the Premier League resumes. City estimate their facilities have been used by 26,000 local NHS and social care staff during the coronavirus pandemic so far. Their contribution includes opening a training centre inside Etihad Stadium that has been used by 350 nurses, a rest, relaxation and exercise facility in an adjacent building, and a coronavirus testing centre on the site.

They were not even at their best but Liverpool, who have kept six successive clean sheets, have simply forgotten how to lose as they romp towards a first English title since 1989-90. They are 16 points clear of second-placed Leicester City and their haul of 61 points is two more than the previous Premier League record after 21 games, Manchester City's 59 in 2017-18.
He's not a number 10; don't expect him to play there. He's more a number eight - but at the same time he has a very good last pass and very good delivery from free-kicks and corners. He's a leader because if you see him play you will notice that he is talking to team-mates all the time. Very good players don't need time to adapt; very good players can play in all countries. The way that he plays and the quality that he has, he'll be a completely adapted player after two to three days, you will see.
Leipzig are on 10 points in Group G while Zenit St Petersburg moved up to seven with a 2-0 victory over Olympique Lyonnais, who are third on goal difference. Benfica are last on four points.

Smorgon defeated top league sides like Energetik-BGU and FC Minsk on the road even in friendly games before the season started in the second league level in Belarus and I happened to watch them one of their few losses in friendly games this winter break a 1-0 loss at strong 2nd league club Krumkachy and they played quite well in that encounter as well very dangerous when attacking and solid in defense. In their opening game they were priced 1.40 to lose at Sputnik but had the lead till late in the game and drew 1-1, but good performance.
There is still much for Mourinho to do but a win over Arsenal has never done any harm to Tottenham's morale. Arsenal pay for old failings Alexandre Lacazette scored the opener with his only shot on targetThere was much to admire about Mikel Arteta's Arsenal here but the bottom line is they were undone once more by old failings which their manager will be desperate to cure. Arsenal were positive, energetic and dangerous, moving the ball quickly and looking to create chances for a potent strike pair of Lacazette and Aubameyang.
Hvidovre is, in my opinion, the favorite in this game. They are almost forced to win here in the fight against relegation. They have to win against a direct competitor at home. We will see that it will be a draw and with 1-1 and both have only one win in the last 5 matches.
At present, the test does not seem to be fit for purpose to protect football clubs in the future. If English football isn't able to act, the government should review the need for a statutory owners' and directors' test to ensure it is fit for purpose and protects clubs in the future. Wigan's fans need to generate 10,000 signatures to force the government to respond to their petition and 100,000 to stand a chance of a parliamentary debate.
How coronavirus has impacted global sportAll Uefa Youth League quarter-final matches scheduled for 17 and 18 March are also off. Uefa said further decisions on the scheduling of the postponed fixtures "will be communicated in due course".

That would be a safe assumption to make given the form that they are in, with four wins from five matches since the resumption of Serie A. Gennaro Gattuso has the Partenopei playing brilliant football with their home form being a noteworthy feature of their recovery from the final days of Carlo Ancelotti's reign.
Karim Benzema celebrates as Thomas Lemar watches onGetty Images Before this season, Simeone spoke of his desire to evolve his ‘Cholismo’ ideology. While Atleti have become an elite level club over the past eight years, their inferiority complex and underdog spirit was still key to their success. With justification, Simeone reasoned that it was difficult to sustain this given the club’s recent big-bucks transfer business and the shimmering Wanda Metropolitano they now call home.
Middlesbrough have conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches and they have failed to score in their last two matches. They also have no win in their last five home matches but had drawn four before the loss to Luton Town. However, while they have not done well at home lately, Middlesbrough have failed to score in just one of their last 10 at their backyard.
There may even be a measure of disappointment among their celebrations at the final whistle that this tie is not already put to bed. Mourinho can tell a hard luck story about injuries, and he has been dealt a tough hand in a key area of his Spurs team, but this was a cautious, conservative gameplan that was in sharp contrast to this emerging RB Leipzig side. It came as no surprise, given they are currently second behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but the manner in which they came out of the blocks and instantly dominated Spurs was startling.
Getafe will against Ajax in match UEFA Europe League. Getafe have great result on last 6 match in qualification due to Getafe have won in 4 match and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile Ajax have not good result on last 6 match in Champions league due to Ajax only have won in 3 match, 2 match is lose and 1 match is draw. Moreover Ajax failed to step next round. Therefore, my prediction that Getafe can defeat Ajax on this match due to Getafe only have 1 lose on last 3 match in the home. Even though Ajax have great result on last 3 away match in Champions League. Nevertheless, I think Getafe can be win on this match due to Getafe always strong in every home match.
Paper Round's view: It's a clever way of structuring a payment to their star player. Sporting have probably accepted that Fernandes will leave soon. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both held interest in the Portuguese over the summer, but Spurs' bid - which activated the bonus payment - was eventually rejected.
Selfies, wine and laughs at PopeyBoth sets of players shared selfies in the Manchester City changing room after the fixture, and Vale manager John Askey said: "City could not have treated us any better. They have really looked after us. They invited the players in after the game and they have been having a bit of a laugh, especially about Popey and John Stones as you can imagine. Tom might be on Twitter tonight.

And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
