Transfer board gamesView more on twitterManchester United signed Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo at the last minute, but gave up their pursuit of 28-year old Bournemouth striker Josh King, which is a shame, if only because it means the above won't come to pass.
The mentality of the group is strong but damaged in confidence. We can always do better. We can always question ourselves and say we could have done better today, but the quality of the opposition was very strong. Media playback is not supported on this device Job speculation has 'nothing to do' with Bournemouth's form - Howe Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, speaking to Match of the Day: "It was a professional performance - controlled, scoring wonderful goals.
I don't have to offer any advice to other teams' players.

French Football Federation president Noel Le Graet "The French Football Federation fully supports UEFA's decision to postpone Euro 2020 from June 11 to July 11 2021 and to adapt the formats for European competitions accordingly," he said in a statement https://www.

Man City striker Sergio Aguero is the outright leading goalscorer of all Premier League players this season, netting 23 times across all competitions so far in 2019-20. Garry Monk has now lost five of his six English domestic cup matches as a manager against sides from a higher division across spells with Leeds, Middlesbrough, Birmingham and current club Sheffield Wednesday - with the other match a 1-0 win at Brighton in round three this season.
The hosts have only managed to win two of their seven home games in the league so far this season while the visitors have only won once on the road but have secured two draws. Belenenses average 1.00 points per home game and Vitoria Setubal average 0.71 points per away game, which is one of the main reasons we have backed the pair to draw on Saturday. The hosts score an average of 0.86 goals per home game while the visitors score an average of 0.57 goals per away game, so you can see why we have backed the pair to play out a goalless draw this weekend.
If you strip everything back, there is only one reason for the Premier season to carry on - money. It is all down to that. There is a clamour and desperation to keep things going as long as possible because the clubs want the TV money and they have realised the implications if they don't get it. It has been suggested that Sky won't ask for their share back, but a large proportion of the money is from the overseas rights.
I called my mum and she was happy, crying," he said. I know many people used to say when they join a team, they say that they dream of playing for that team. Mine was not the case. I supported the team when I was young. People that know me, even back in Nigeria, and even when I was playing at Watford, my team-mates knew that I loved Manchester United, I support them. With Marcus Rashford recovering from a stress fracture and Anthony Martial having scored once in his past five Premier League games, Ighalo hopes his physicality can aid the United forward line.
Walter Ferreti is hosting Managua FC this time as the underdog. Well this is not quite my view, We see real odds for the match at 2,90 for 1, 3,12 for the draw and 2,47 for the away team. My preview with the poisson distribution of goals using the season stats says Ferretti should be at 2,29 and Managua at 3,19. So we have value here. As for the double chance which is my safe bet for this match, we have value with Ferreti at 1,73. True odds should 1,46. I'd say this match will go Ferreti or draw, 1 - 0, 0 - 0 or 1 - 1
Monday. Therefore our men's first team, women and academy players are all remaining at home.

Moyes has guided West Ham to four points in his first three matches since replacing Manuel Pellegrini, and the Scot is confident their fortunes will improve.

Juventus, the most successful Italian club in this competition, went to AC Milan and played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg back in February. It was a fine showing for a Milan team that was reeling from a heavy 4-2 defeat in the derby with Inter. They regained pride thanks to Ante Rebic's goal and would have gotten victory if it hadn't been for a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty in stoppage time.
Leverkusen's team is fifth place in the league with a record of 17 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, while Munich is leader of the Bundesliga with a record of 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. Analyzing the last 5 games between both teams we have that the Munich has won 3 times and Leverkusen has 2 victories. Leverkusen's coach Bosc has won the last 3 games against Bayern and plans to do so against the upcoming champions. At least it shouldn't end like 1-4 against Wolfsburg in the last home game. Leverkusen can overtake Gladbach and take CL spot if they win. Bayern is 7 points ahead of Dortmund and there is not much in stake for them.
A lot of midfielders do that when they are trying to establish themselves in a team, or keep their place, because giving the ball away is the worst thing they can do. Henderson does not have to worry about his place any more, because he plays such a vital role in this Liverpool side - well, not just one actually. One of the biggest compliments you could pay him is that he nailed down the holding midfielder position and became pivotal there for a while.
Dr Anton Nachreiner, chairman of the DFB control committee, added: "Of course, the DFB control committee always has the requirements of the Fifa football rules and the DFB regulations in mind. In the specific case, however, these are targeted anti-racism campaigns by the players, which are committed to values for which the DFB also stands and always stands for. The Football Association said it would take a "common sense approach" to any protests such as those seen in the Bundesliga when English football resumes later this month.
Ugbade is one of the biggest names in African football," Africa-based sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji tells BBC Sport. His opinion is respected and if he speaks to you, you listen. There is no limit with him. No excuses. He is a hard trainer but will not stretch you beyond your ability. Still, the tough training was too much for some but, as a skinny teenager who was also smaller than his peers, Ndidi felt such a work ethic would benefit him.

CFR Cluj had a good run in the group stages and will be hoping to carry the same here. However, they have showed one thing in their last three matches, as well as most of their group stage matches – that they don’t score a lot. They may also lack the fitness for this level, having played just three competitive games in 2020. While Sevilla have not done well in recent matches, they may have the edge here, by their experience in this competition and having played more competitively in recent times. Their defence may however fail them at some point, and we are thus backing the Spaniards for a 2-1 win.
Norwich City v Southampton *Southampton have lost five of their last seven games to drop to 14th in the standings. The home side has won the last five Premier League meetings between the two clubs.

The most famous 0-0 in Scottish football18 June, Frankfurt. Scotland 0 Brazil 0Scotland had the best chance of the game against the world champions. A Jordan header was saved by Leao but the rebound struck captain Billy Bremner's shin and squirmed inches past. It wasn't like he could side foot it in - it bounced off him," Jordan says. It wasn't the result we wanted but we didn't feel it was an opportunity missed.
The visitors' high press caught the Foxes defence out on countless occasions with Sadio Mane and Mo Salah guilty of missing some clear-cut chances. Leicester struggled to make any impact throughout and Liverpool eventually romped clear with a three goal-blitz in seven second-half minutes. Substitute James Milner converted a penalty and Firmino grabbed his second before Trent Alexander-Arnold capped a sublime individual display with a well-deserved goal to add to his assists.

If Philadelphia want to secure a wild card position, this is the kind of game they just have to win. Form has been a bit inconsistent of late but the defeats have been narrow ones. The Giants were 2-2 for the season at one stage but now have a 2-10 record and probably can't wait for the season to end. Go for the Eagles to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
Southampton striker Danny Ings on BBC Match of the Day: "I am just happy to be scoring goals for the team. You saw today, the team do their best to provide the chances, they work so hard behind me I feel there is a little bit more pressure to put them away.

How we have been over Christmas and since then has been massive for us and the club moving forward and long may it continue.
The midfielder was initially expected to miss only two months, but his recovery was slowed by a setback. Solskjaer admitted he was now not sure if the 26-year-old record signing would be back before the New Year. No. Too early," said the Norwegian when asked if Pogba could be involved in Thursday's final Europa League group match at home against AZ Alkmaar. We hope 2019.

I think it's raining there which doesn't help the pitch. The one pitch we are all playing on, which is sensationally good organisation - where all the games are on one pitch and it's raining," he said. I'm not sure if people in Qatar are used to a lot of rain. We will see how the pitch will be. That's a bit of a problem. But we don't have more games. We have one game more and that is it. Until then, we will try to sort it as good as possible for us.
In the 'Correct Score' market, a 1-0 win for the hosts appeals. Hannover may still be without a home win, but their defensive antics at home have been better than Darmstadt's exploits on the road. If they can defend as they have done in either of their last two at HDI-Arena, then the hosts can edge out their low-scoring visitors.
At that stage Arsenal looked utterly desperate, devoid of hope, skill, determination, confidence…actually, just pick a positive adjective, any one you like: Arsenal didn’t have it.

He does seem to be sulking all the time, why that is I don't know. He doesn't seem to be happy, but whose job is it to put that right? The manager's. That is the point of managing - you have all these different personalities and you have to get the best out of each individual. Jose needs to find a way to get Ndombele on to the pitch because the team just looks slow. Harry Winks isn't quick, Giovani lo Celso doesn't seem that quick.

Grecia will host Perez Zeledon for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches.

In last game Perez Zeledon played in a 1-1 draw with strong Saprissa. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory.
There is no rush from the club's side, they have not put any pressure on me and just let me get on with things in my own time," he continued. But the surgeons and medical teams say it takes the bone six weeks after surgery (which took place on 27 January) to heal properly again and then another six weeks after that for the bone to be back to its strongest. After that I will be back in full contact training, but it will just be a case of when I'm ready.
Burton are not exactly the best placed team to take advantage of the woes of their hosts as they have failed to win in their last three away matches.

That attacking output has it’s drawbacks though as they have also conceded 88% of their goals away from home.

Defenders - Rob Holding (Arsenal), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Jonny Evans (Leicester), Holding: It was a real battle royal between Rob Holding and Sadio Mane. From the moment a ball was kicked no quarter was given or asked between the two players. At first I thought Mane had the better of Holding but as the game wore on it was clear that the Arsenal defender was determined to come out on top and, in the end, he did.
