Since the start of last season, Matt Doherty has netted eight Premier League goals for Wolves, the joint most of all defenders in the competition alongside Liverpool skipper Virgil Van Dijk. Steven Bergwijn is the first Tottenham player to score in his first two home Premier League appearances since Rafael van der Vaart in October 2010 and the third overall, after his fellow Dutchman and Jermain Defoe (February 2004).
Can Ljungberg stake his claim?Plenty of big-name managers have already been linked with the vacant managerial position at Emirates Stadium, but could Ljungberg conceivably remain as permanent manager?Compared with other frontrunners for the position, Ljungberg's CV does not measure up to the Premier League experience of former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino or Wolves' Nuno Espirito Santo - nor the European credentials of Massimiliano Allegri and Carlo Ancelotti.
Will fans turn up outside the stadium? Will fans congregate outside the stadium if their team can get promoted or get relegated, or if they can get into Europe? "How are we going to stop that? How are the police going to man it? How are they health services going to react to incidents that happen off the back of it and do we need to put any more pressure on the services at this point in time?"However, if those fears could be overcome somewhere down the line within this 12-week period then [behind closed doors games] could be the case.
Smolevichi have failed to score from open play in their last four games. Five Smolevichi league games this season have produced just six goals. Smolevichi have failed to score a home league goal this season. The last three Dinamo Minsk league games have all had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Newly promoted Smolevichi are still looking for their first win in the Belarus Premier League.
The guiding principles behind such deals should be to "guarantee some form of salary payment to players and coaches, avoid litigation, protect contractual stability, and ensure clubs do not go bankrupt, while considering the financial impact of COVID-19 on clubs". Crucially, the document states that where clubs and employees cannot reach agreement and where "national law does not address the situation or collective agreements are not applicable", unilateral decisions to change contracts "will only be recognised when they are otherwise deemed reasonable" by FIFA's Dispute Resolutions Chamber or Players Status Committee.
And Mourinho was quick to empathise with the former Spurs boss. I haven’t spoke to him. I’ve been there and I know what he’s going through," said Mourinho. I spoke to his son, in our academy, and I will call him. I told the players here to tell him he’s free to come here whenever, to have a meal with the players, if he wants me here or not that’s fine.
Shirking a physical contest last week led to a heavy defeat for Huddersfield. Unwilling or unable to compete with Stoke, it served as a blueprint for Barnsley to follow. They will harry and harass Huddersfield players to try to force individual errors. If the Terriers can maintain their composure under this pressure then they should be able to make their individual quality count, as it did when they won their last meeting in October.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic says people who vandalised a statue of him earlier this year are "at kindergarten level" and that his story will "remain forever". The AC Milan striker is training at Swedish club Hammarby while Italy is in lockdown during the coronavirus crisis. After he invested in Hammarby last year, vandals repeatedly defaced a statue of him outside boyhood club and rivals Malmo before it was eventually toppled and removed in January.
We have a short squad but those in charge knew that," said Ivan Rakitic, echoing a sense of discontent with Barcelona's board following recent outspoken comments from Messi. Yet even with their many problems, Barca seem to have slightly more momentum heading into Sunday's game at the Bernabeu, where they have won on their last four league visits.
We’re confident that Saturday’s match will end in a draw and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Aves have not performed well enough at home this season and should be picking up at least a point from Saturday’s match while Portimonense have only managed to win once on the road so far. Both teams head into the game with one win from their last six competitive matches and we can’t see either side doing enough to secure all three points this weekend.

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.
Ruh Brest is going to face Minsk for the 5th round of Vysshaya Liga of Belarus and I expect really balanced match here. The hosts got four points in four matches, after victory in the first match against Dinamo Minsk and a draw with Slavia. Minsk won two matches in a row and then they played against Bate and Energetyk and lost twice. The visitors are still better so I don't think that they will lose this match. Minsk is able to pick here three points but I pick this Asian handicap as the draw is possible too. Let's try this pick
The home team Monchengladbach held host Leipzig with 2-2 to help this team not be abandoned in the race to the Bundesliga championship this season. They are currently in the fourth position on the table with 4 points less than the team currently headed by Bayern Munich. In this round, Monchengladbach will be back home to host Hoffenheim and a victory will surely help the team continue to chase the top 1 and they will keep a place in the group to participate in the Champions League next season. On the other side of the line, Hoffenheim was not in good shape when losing to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 2-3

The north London side have been linked with Paris St Germain left back Layvin Kurzawa in the past week but Arteta said there was "a possibility" that the club could go without singing anyone in this window.

Getty Images Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is under pressure after City's European ban, and the likely loss of their Premier League title. Nonetheless, he praised his side: "Three times in a row is a big success. It's the consistency, incredible. It was awesome. We struggled in the first minutes and the last ones.
At the Vitality Stadium, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard was relieved, but still a little alarmed to be left reliant on defender Alonso coming to the rescue. I don't want my left-back top of the scoring charts. I want our attackers scoring goals and they haven't," said Lampard, after watching Alonso head home five minutes from time to ensure Chelsea avoided a second defeat in five days following their humbling Champions League home loss to Bayern Munich.
Ujpest will against Ferencvaros in match Hungarian League. My prediction that both teams will make to score on this match. Moreover Ujpest always to make score on last 2 match and they can make total score is 3 goals. Meanwhile, Ferencvaros also can make score in 2 match from last 3 match. Moreover Ferencvaros can make total score is 4 goals. Therefore, I think that both teams will make scores due to this match will tight from both teams. Beside that Ujpest will play in 1st match after postponed league. Surely Ujpest will excited on this match and have chance to make score.
He has another 22 games to get those eight goals. His average of a goal every 90 minutes is better than in each of his previous Premier League seasons (it was a goal every 131 minutes in 2015-16) and he is having a shot on target every 55 minutes, which is also his top-flight career best. His average of a shot every 35 minutes is comparable to last season, but not as good as his figure of 27 in 2015-16.

I have to say congratulations to Akram Afif. The award is) well deserved because his performance was amazing in both sides," said Xavi, referring to the national team lifting the Asian Cup and Al Sadd's run in the Champions League. It was a big regret we couldn't reach the final, but he was making a difference in the national team and for the club, so I think it's well deserved.
Manchester United and Norwich have had mixed fortunes in the run up to this clash. United were free scoring in their last game as they whacked Sheffield United 3-0. Meanwhile, Norwich endured a second straight loss, and having failed to score as well. Norwich doesn’t have a very good home record too and have conceded a lot this season. In their last 15 home matches, they have conceded at least twice in 10. With a poor attack as well as defence, and taking on United who have a fine run ahead of this clash, we are backing United for a clean sheet, and 2-0 on the correct score scale.
Toulouse and Amiens' relegation from Ligue 1 has been confirmed after a vote to keep the French top flight at 20 clubs next season was approved. Both were relegated as the season ended prematurely because of the coronavirus pandemic, but a French court ordered the league to rethink its proposals.

James Ball scored four times in the first round against Oxford CitySolihull face a tough test against a Rotherham side who have made a solid start to life in League One following relegation from the Championship last season. However, the Millers' form in the FA Cup is hardly impressive.
However, while Leicester's line-up would not have looked out of place in the Premier League, six of Brentford's XI were aged 20 or younger and they were without their usual attacking trio of Ollie Watkins, Bryan Mbeumo and Said Benrahma, who have scored 34 of the Bees' 44 league goals between them this season. And the Bees inexperience showed as started slowly in front of an expectant, sold-out Griffin Park.

I've said I will stay at Ajax and I will do so for 100 per cent. Eriksen set for Inter? Sky Sports Italy are reporting that Christian Eriksen has been offered a contract by Inter Milan and the Serie A contenders are awaiting a response from the Tottenham star's representatives. United wary of Bruno Fernandes bidding war We begin with a report from the Evening Standard which says that Manchester United are still interested in signing Bruno Fernandes but they are wary of being drawn into a bidding war with Spurs.
It was clear we wanted to develop something new for the next season," Siewert says of the task that was laid out for him at Huddersfield. Everyone was aware of that; there was no hiding from it. I said that I still wanted to do everything [to stay up], and they did as well. We wanted to stay in the league and do everything for that, and to then prepare for the next season, whichever league that would be in.
Nothing is impossible in football. Everton have not finished in the top four since 2005, which is the only time they had done it since 1988. The only clubs in Ancelotti's managerial career where he has not managed to exceed a 50% win percentage were Italian sides Reggiana and Parma in the late 1990s. Speaking on the day Everton revealed final designs for a new 52,000-capacity stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, Ancelotti said: "The attraction is the history and tradition of the club.
I prefer to take both teams scoring in this one as both sides should feel they can win this. The club in better form is Sangju who after a big loss on opening day 4-0 away at Ulsan where they did have scoring chances but failed to score a goal, they won two games in a row at home 2-0 with Gangwon having even chances to score the 3rd goal but their opponents also easily broke through their defense and should have scored at least once, followed by a 1-0 win at home against newly promoted Gwangju game which I did not watch.
Pictures have emerged from a park in Barnet, north London, of the former Chelsea boss in full Spurs training gear with Tanguy Ndombele, while Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon were also snapped by social media users.

He looked to press from the off, wore a couple of nasty tackles but carried on and was duly rewarded for his efforts with a goal, which he took very well. His assist for Salah’s third was also lovely. An honourable mention goes to Roberto Firmino, who recorded a hat-trick of assists.

An end to home advantage? Over 13,000 Borussia Monchengladbach fans paid to have a cardboard cut-out of themselves at Borussia ParkIs there any advantage still to be had when you don't have the support of your fans in the stadium and it's no longer intimidating for the opponents? The last two weeks of the Bundesliga suggest that could be the case. Only three wins have been picked up at home in 22 matches.
Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla will host Hapoel Bnei Lod for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this match. Beitar have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. True, Beitar is very unpredictable team in recent times. They have big fluctuations. On the other hand Hapoel Bnei Lod is one of the teams of relegation group. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. Of course, they have a very difficult task in this campaign. In any case, they have nothing to lose. I expect, the visitors will try to move aggressively. My pick - Hapoel Bnei Lod to win.
But no. We got in at full-time and Fergie went at me for two or three minutes saying 'you are finished, you are out and in the reserves, that is you done'. All the big boys including Cristiano Ronaldo were still in the dressing room at the time. That was me done, I was training with the reserves for the rest of the season. Pulis not fond of 'that Barca' footballFoster had a year at Birmingham, where he won the League Cup, before spending seven seasons at West Brom and playing under Tony Pulis.
Hello everyone tipsters I want to give you prediction about this game from Egypt first league. I don't know too much about this league but I will try to get some money from them. The home team are not a good condition and they stay on the bottom of the league, but they take the win last game and today they hope to win again. Haras is not easy team and I will think the best option for this game is draw. Haras El Hodood the same like their opponent take the win last game with Pyramids one of the top team in the league. My prediction is draw.
The dramatic leveller in a feisty match played in testy, windswept conditions at the Hawthorns went some way to appeasing a furious Forest, who felt Livermore was lucky not to have been sent off with the scores at 0-0 and that they should have had a penalty for handball against Bartley soon after the hosts went ahead in contentious circumstances for the second time.
Like Ronaldo, his Ballon d'Or form led to a world-record move, but Figo angered Barca fans by joining bitter rivals Real Madrid to become the original Galactico. His Real stint was equally successful and he ended his career by winning Serie A in each of his four seasons with Inter Milan. Shearer: "We were comfortable against Portugal at Euro 2000. Then he stepped on the gas and they won 3-2. He went past players like it was easy, effortless.
Manchester United, smarting from their defeat at Watford on Sunday, are at home to Newcastle United, a game which could see Paul Pogba return to the starting line-up. The French midfielder, who had been out with an ankle injury since September, came on as a substitute at Watford but could start against Steve Bruce's side.
Away from home, Huddersfield have won just one of their last five, losing three of the other four. They've also got a problem at the back, as they've conceded too many goals of late, shipping five against Stoke last time out, while they're without a clean sheet in five and have shut their opponents out just once since the first week in November.
Scoring goals has been an issue for St. Johnstone, who're averaging just under a goal per game (0.93), but their big problem is at the other end of proceedings. Restricting teams and keeping clean sheets are two things that Tommy Wright's men seemingly cannot do, especially away from home.
