This should be another victory for league leaders Chelsea. They are the only unbeaten side in the table and the last four matches in this league have all been won. They are the league's top away scorers and can improve that record with a win over a Birmingham side that has already lost four league games this season.
A few months ago Chesterfield were at the lowest point in the club’s history in terms of league position and videos were emerging on social media of their players arguing with fans after yet another disappointing defeat. However, while things are not exactly rosy at they moment, there is at least some positivity around the club at the moment as they come into this weekend’s clash having claimed a win and a draw over the festive period.
Chelsea need no reminders that when the pressure is on, City have a habit of responding in devastating fashion. In the corresponding fixture last season, City's Argentine striker Sergio Aguero grabbed a hat-trick as the Londoners, then under Italian Maurizio Sarri, were hammered 6-0 after conceding four goals in the opening 25 minutes.
Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson frequently change games with their assists, but they can play as extra wingers in the knowledge Van Dijk is covering behind. Video - Klopp – ‘Messi is the best player I’ve ever seen, but Van Dijk should have won the Ballon d’Or’01:11 The 28-year-old has started every game of an extraordinary campaign that has seen Liverpool leak just 21 goals, four fewer than their closest challengers.
The visitors then had Joey Barton sent off for kicking out at Sergio Aguero. The rest I'm sure you know. After Edin Dzeko had headed City level in the second of five minutes of stoppage time, up stepped Aguero to send Etihad Stadium wild and break the hearts of local rivals Manchester United, who thought their victory at Sunderland had won them the title. Suarez's bite (2013) Luis Suarez was given a 10-game ban for the bite on Chelsea's Branislav IvanovicLuis Suarez is a hard man to keep off the back pages.
Every time Solskjaer looks at what his midfield’s going to be – well, let's just say I’m just surprised he’s not gone bald already because it must paralyse his brain that there is no midfield at all at United. Whatever he puts out there, there’s absolutely no guarantee it’s going to work. If you’re playing up font, you know that you’re not going to get the ball.
Liverpool were nowhere near their best, not that they needed to be, but this was an impressive demonstration of the power assembled by Klopp that has put them in such a commanding position in the title race. Man of the match - Sadio Mane Mane assisted twice in a Premier League game for the first time since March 2018 v Watford. He hadn't recorded an assist at Anfield in all competitions in 40 appearances since that game against WatfordA flashback to 20 years ago - the best of the statsEverton find themselves in the relegation zone after playing at least 15 Premier League matches for the first time since April 1999 (after 32 games).
The venue in Sandwich, Kent will now host the venue in 2021. Southgate to take 30% wage cut Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham has confirmed the governing body's highest earners, including Gareth Southgate will take a significant pay cut. The coronavirus is likely to cost the FA around £100 million and potentially much more if the crisis continues deep into the year.
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.
Saturn Ramenskoye will against Sakhalin in match Rusia Club friendlies. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Saturn Ramenskoye on last 4 match can make score is 5 goals. Meanwhile, Sakhalin have good record on last match due to Sakhalin can make score is 2 goals when they meet Lada SOK Dimitrovgrad. Therefore, I think this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Sakhalin have good score in every home and away match. Likewise Saturn Ramenskoye always can make score in every home and away match on last season in league. Surely this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals.
All are contributing, all are performing under the French boss. Even if he were to leave this summer, Simeone’s Atleti legacy is already assured in the new stadium they play in out by Madrid’s Barajas airport and in the way they can compete at the very top level of the transfer market. But having been underdogs for so long Atletico Madrid now appear unsure of how to be anything but.
The hosts have had it tough over Christmas, with a four-game run seeing the QPR defence regularly punished. They’ve been in the giving mood in December, shipping 10 goals across those four matches. Now they are hoping to avoid a similar result when they clash with Cardiff, but the whole season has been dominated by defensive issues for QPR.
Quarter-final ties will be played on Sunday, 15 March. Relive Monday's Women's FA Cup fifth round actionOf the fifth-round games yet to be played, Leicester and Reading meet on Thursday, 19 February, Arsenal host Lewes on Sunday, 23 February while the quarter-final line-up will be completed on Tuesday, 25 February when Palace entertain Brighton. All three of those ties pit Women's Super League sides against Championship teams, raising the prospect of the last eight consisting entirely of top-flight clubs.
There were also individual scores to be settled, with one of the freshest that between Webb and Gray. Leeds’ Scottish winger had given the Chelsea full-back an absolute chasing in the drawn final at Wembley that prompted the replay. The Whites had largely dominated but somehow failed to win on a national stadium surface buried under a mountain of sand, in an attempt to make it playable following poor weather and the ill-advised staging on it of the Horse of the Year Show.
They don’t have a regular goalscorer but they have midfield players who can get in there and Lundstram can come off the bench and scored in the last game. Fleck can nick goals as well. For me, it’s not a Manchester United-Chelsea thing. There are at least another two teams who can finish in the Champions League positions.
City led that match until Chelsea turned the game around with goals in the 79th and 81st minutes. That was only their second league loss of the season, the other being a 1-0 away defeat at Arsenal (currently third). Home form is incredibly strong with eight wins out of eight. They have won their last 11 home league matches and last lost in April 2018 and 21 games have been played since then.
Will Olympics delay affect Neville's future?'We must build a common vision'Fifpro released a paper on Thursday outlining the "existential threat" facing the women's game because of the pandemic, with the average length of a player's contract just over 12 months long. Now is the time to have this conversation about women’s football. Not in a couple of weeks or a couple of months, now," said Fifpro's chief women’s football officer Amanda Vandervort.
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.
But it is Olympic glory that is on her mind going into the New Year, as the four home nations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) agreed to allow a united women's team to play in the 2020 Tokyo Games. I think for anyone who can be involved or potentially selected it's something we've thought about, naturally," Little, 29, told Reuters at Visa Europe's headquarters in London.

Baroka v Lamontville Golden Arrows here, meeting of the Premier Soccer League of South African soccer that is played tomorrow afternoon at 6:30 pm. Favorite hosts for the victory of the match come from an external success for 0-1 on Polokwane while the hosts are coming back from a home defeat for 1-2 against Mamelodi Sundowns. The two teams have the same technical potential so I expect a very open and balanced race which I think could end with the unbeaten guest team. So let's try a Draw no bet 2 at 2.00 and Good Luck to everyone with your bets! ;-)
The goalkeeper needlessly flew out in "Superman" pose but got nowhere near Mason Mount's free-kick, leaving Jorginho with a simple tap-in. Arteta turned away in anguish, his face buried in his palms with a mixture of incredulity at Leno's hapless non-intervention and a sense of injustice. Jorginho was very fortunate to still be on the pitch after somehow escaping a second yellow card for a foul in the centre circle having been cautioned earlier.

Cometh the hour cometh Watford's talisman, though, as captain Deeney put a barren sequence of only one league goal in his previous 10 games behind him to make the contribution that could yet keep the Hornets in the top flight. The goals may have come from the penalty spot but the 32-year-old showed commendable nerve on both occasions, using his tried and trusted technique of sheer power to beat Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka for the first spot-kick then winning a battle of wits to deliver in similar style late on when the pressure was at its peak.

By Martyn Herman LONDON, Dec 28 (Reuters) - West Ham United sacked manager Manuel Pellegrini on Saturday after a 2-1 home defeat by Leicester City put the Foxes' distant pursuit of Premier League leaders Liverpool back on track. Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of moving into the top four stalled in a 2-2 draw at bottom club Norwich City, while Manchester United moved within a point of the Champions League places after a 2-0 win at Burnley.
Having an injury crisis is part and parcel of football. There have been better sides than Bournemouth that have gone down. Eddie Howe is a good manager but people lose their jobs because of injuries in the past. If you get injuries you have to get on with it. Injuries cannot be used as an excuse. That's the point of having a deep squad so that you can deal with that.
I would start saving players for it because that's what City have got to start focusing on. Speaking on the Monday Night Club, Wright said Guardiola, who won two Champions League titles in charge of Barcelona, will be determined to win it again with City after not doing so at previous club Bayern Munich. Guardiola said he thinks he will be regarded as a failure at City if he does not win the Champions League, with the club having failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals so far under the Spaniard.
Football is suspended in the UK and across most of world because of the coronavirus pandemic - but the game rolls on in Belarus. The Belarusian Premier League rarely gets a mention in normal circumstances yet it is attracting attention from foreign fans as one of the few places around the globe - and the only place in Europe - where football is still being played. On Saturday, there were six top-flight games in the eastern European country including the derby between FC Minsk and Dinamo Minsk watched by a capacity 3,000 crowd in Belarus' capital.
The billionaire businessman is due to have talks with Bruce this week as the Magpies look to strengthen the squad to combat a lengthy injury list. Newcastle were without 10 players for last Saturday's 1-1 draw at Wolves, a game which saw Paul Dummett and Dwight Gayle limp off with hamstring problems.
Dortmund suffered defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich in the fixture dubbed 'Der Klassiker' before the international break. The break may have come at just the right time for Dortmund to regroup and put that loss behind them. They will have a good opportunity to bounce back this Friday evening against Paderborn.
Arsenal are celebrating, Lacazette has the ball in the back of the net, but it's not going to count. Ozil was offside as he headed the ball into the Frenchman's path. But wait, VAR is going to check it. It IS going to count! Relief for Arsenal, as VAR rules that Ozil was just onside. That's his first assist from open play in well over a year! KEY STATS All seven of Alexandre Lacazette's Premier League goals this season have come at the Emirates, the best 100% home record in the division this season.
They have one win and no clean sheet in their last seven matches at home and they have conceded seven goals in their last two Bundesliga matches. With three wins in 12 home matches in the Bundesliga, they will be under pressure here and having beaten Paderborn in just one of the last five meetings will not help.
This derby mach from Germany league between Bayern and Leipzig is a good soccer match where we look see more goals and a best new chance for our pick we play at the match now. We will play the best pick for this mach a pick over from 3.75 goals. For this pick we will look see minimal four goals and can for this get a half and 4.50 points and if we see this five goals we will can look to our score a new full total win from 9 points. Boat teams in this mach have a great chance for a win.
Uerdingen and Duisburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Uerdingen this season have the following results: 12W, 9D and 11L. Meanwhile Duisburg have 16W, 7D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
All play-offs would be cancelled, meaning the pyramid play-off involving the Highland League and Lowland League champions would be scrapped. However, the SPFL says that, should the plans be approved, they commit to consulting with clubs in April and May about reconfiguring the leagues for next season. We are keen to work with Uefa'Last week, Uefa cautioned that declaring campaigns early could mean countries would not be able to take up places in European competitions.
Isloch 2 will host Slutsk 2 for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. Slutsk 2 are in solid shape. They have two consecutive victories. In any case, they have the motivation to continue with the winning results. In previous game Slutsk 2 is won 5-1 against Brest 2. Also, we have Isloch 2 who's is not very good team at the start of the new campaign. The hosts are more vulnerable team. They have two consecutive losses. In previous game Isloch 2 lost 2-3 against Smolevichi 2. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
Watford were ripped apart by City and that could still have happened with Pearson at the helm but his departure merely told Aston Villa that Watford were in a state of panic. Anyone who has been in football and found themselves in a relegation battle will tell you the last thing you need in your ranks is anyone showing the slightest sign of fear. Fear spreads through a football club like wildfire. More importantly it hands the initiative to your competitor.
Of course, I see plenty of goals in this match from Belarusian elite league and of course I will try that option. Generally, this two rivals, like all teams in this league are playing very efficient all the time and I don't see reason why they cannot continue that way and this time. Shakhtyor Reserves are very talented team and they are very offensive, so they are probably closer to win today. Slutsk is also solid so far in new season and they will surely score at least one goal in this duel. Yes, over is ok here and I will try.
Angel passes Camp Nou audition Barca’s injury crisis up front, with Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele likely to miss the rest of the season, means the La Liga holders are permitted to sign an injury replacement – and Getafe’s Angel Rodriguez has been the name on everyone’s lips. The Madrid outfit are punching well above their weight this season and are third in the standings, helped by Angel's 10 La Liga goals; the latest of which was a sublime volley as Jose Bordalas's side were trailing 2-0 at Barca on Saturday.
The article should stop here really. Enough to say, not sources you'd want to drink from even in less hygiene-conscious times. Let's put it in the most simple of terms. Cellar-dwellers Norwich City are as close to surpassing Wolves and Sheffield United to clinch a Europa League berth as Manchester City are to overtaking Liverpool.
Longstaff 6, Bentaleb 7, Saint-Maximin 7, Joelinton 5. Subs: Schar N/A, Hayden 6, Ritchie 6. KEY MOMENTS 14’ - SAVE! Well-worked corner sets up the volley for Sean Longstaff, he doesn't catch it right, the scuffed strike is then deflected, but Bernd Leno does well to adjust to make a smart save. CROSSBAR! Arsenal best move almost results in the opening goal.
Watford’s improvement over the last couple of weeks has been admirable, but there’s no getting away from the fact that they need to actually start producing results. Sunday’s match against an inconsistent Manchester United could be just the boost they need.
It worked in the first quarter, but had too little dynamism and attacking instinct to turn the tide once the second goal went in. Aaron Lennon offered little, Dwight McNeil was shackled and Wood was left an isolated figure. To add to the Clarets' woes, some of their rivals at the bottom have shown a dramatic upturn in fortune. Watford's new manager bounce and Southampton's rejuvenation have blown the battle at the bottom wide open.
Dominating Czech football with their relative riches on the domestic scene may be one thing but Slavia are already guaranteed to finish bottom of this admittedly tough Champions League group. It always looked like a big ask for the side to compete against such powerhouses and though draws at Barcelona and Inter make for good reading, they are the only two points the visitors have collected.
Talbot had earned 41 points to Kilwinning Rangers' 53, but had no fewer than nine games in hand on their Ayrshire rivals, who had played 25 of their 30 league games. Glasgow side Pollok were second on 42 points from 22 games. But based on a forumla looking at points per game average for home and away fixtures, Talbot finish as league winners. Talbot's reward is that they get to compete in the Scottish Cup, a competition in which they reached the last 16 in 2019 after beating Championship side Ayr United.
