Solskjaer said the aim is to be challenging for the title next season but that he is "not saying it is a realistic one". We are behind and a fair rate behind the top one now, who we play on Sunday and we'll see where we are against them," he said. But with a few signings, with the improvement these players are making, in the next couple of years we want to do that. The Norwegian added that the performances of United's young players showed the squad does not need a major overhaul.
Having previously owned National League North side Southport, Hodgkinson has experience of the hand-to-mouth existence of many lower-league clubs. If we don't come to an agreement there will be no football pyramid. There are clubs I know of that are only still trading because they are deferring wages and [tax] and other creditors. They will need paying at some point," Hodgkinson said. There is an absolutely real, stark probability that if something isn't agreed now within football to ensure all clubs can pay their bills and get through to the point where income is resumed, you will be looking at 50 or 60 clubs ceasing to exist.
Burnley are hurtling towards the bottom three and have a tough fixture list in the coming weeks. They have lost seven of their last nine league games and four out of five at home. Their defence is struggling with 37 goals conceded in the league this season. Leicester aren't at their best but are still getting good away results with only one of their last seven away league games not being won. Go for an away victory in this game.
Middlesbrough have kept clean sheets in their last two away league games. Three of the last four Middlesbrough away league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Two of the last three Fulham league games have only had one goal scored in them. Fulham are fourth in the Championship and only seven points away from the final automatic promotion spot.
Hull won when these two met here earlier in 2019, which was their fifth straight home win over the Blues. Meanwhile, the visitors have won just twice in 11 clashes with the Tigers. Hull have scored twice in each of their last five home meetings with Birmingham, while the Blues are looking weak on the road. As a result, we’re backing a Hull victory along with a 2-0 home win as our correct score pick.
Rangers and Hearts are challenging this. They don't see why rules can't be changed to get the money released to those most in need without having to call the league first. They want it released now. They want the articles changed so the wolf can be kept from the door of the most vulnerable clubs. Free up the money and buy every club time to think calmly about the next step. Park the vote. That's their mantra.
West Ham's supporters applauded their players at the end. They had given everything but came up short. Lukasz Fabianski made mistakes which led to two of Liverpool's goalsThe trick for Moyes now is to get West Ham to repeat this sort of effort on a regular basis between now and the end of the season. The night started on a discordant note with the expected show of discontent from West Ham's supporters in their section of the Anfield Road Stand.
Having lost just 1 of their last 8 Serie A matches, winning 4 times in the process, Fortaleza look set for a strong end to the campaign. Coming into the season as a newly promoted side, the objective was merely to remain in the league but currently inside the Copa Sudamericana places with a 5 point margin for error, it looks like Tricolor will be going on a continental adventure in 2020.

Birmingham City midfielder Jude Bellingham's move to Borussia Dortmund is set to be confirmed next week after he had a medical at the German club. The 17-year-old travelled to Dortmund on Thursday to complete the latest stages of the transfer. He then returned to England for Birmingham's Championship game at Preston on Saturday. Dortmund are Bellingham's preferred choice ahead of a number of English clubs, including Manchester United.
BT Sport is set to receive a total of around £2. SPFL for matches missed when last season was halted early. The two parties are close to agreeing a deal over a series of staged payments after weeks of negotiations. BT Sport's five-year agreement to show matches ended at the conclusion of last season. A deal has already been reached with Sky Sports to pay it around £1. In November 2018, Sky struck an exclusive £160m agreement to show 54 matches for each of the next five campaigns, starting in August.
Cornet, however, levelled five minutes into the second half with a slightly-deflected 20-metre strike. Mexer et Maxwel CornetGetty Images Dembele gave the hosts the lead three minutes later with a low cross-shot after being played through by Cornet. It was the first time Rudi Garcia’s team had won two league matches in a row since he took over in October.
He felt very responsible. We'll try to be right behind him, he's been phenomenal all season. His reaction - to face the media and everything - was very mature from him. After a series of checks, Pianese announce that a fourth player is infected by Covid-19. He too is in solitary confinement at home and is under observation by the relevant authorities," the Serie C club said in a statement.
For most of the next 15 minutes, the champions were camped outside the penalty area. But a poor backpass from Jullien would allow nemesis Dykes the chance to drive through the middle this time, only for the striker to loop his shot wide. Almost immediately after that, Edouard burst through for Celtic, but his low effort was deflected wide. Eventually Leigh Griffiths was thrown into the fray against his old club, who were by now holding on as stoutly as they could against incessant Celtic attacks.
The crowd at Molineux had barely taken their seats when Mousset struck after 62 seconds, taking a touch to control the ball in the box before slamming it home to put the visitors ahead. Despite creating a number of decent chances, the home team looked all at sea for much of the first hour until Doherty met a Raul Jimenez cross with a powerful header to put them level in the 64th minute.
MADRID, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The following are the main talking points from the weekend's action in La Liga. Veteran Joaquin's record-breaking treble It is rare for the front page of one of Spain's national newspapers not to splash on Real Madrid or Barcelona, but Marca led with 'Joatrick' on Monday. Veteran Real Betis midfielder Joaquin Sanchez, 38 years and 140 days old, scored an 18-minute hat-trick as his side beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 on Sunday, becoming the oldest player to ever net a treble in La Liga.
The players were being presented to the crowd when the mascot, known as "Mad Rooster", induced defender Vitoria Calhau to twirl around and then walked away rubbing his hands. Atletico regret and repudiate the behaviour of the employee who has been promptly removed," said the Belo Horizonte club in a statement after the incident was widely criticised.
I think it's a great coup for Everton to have him," the Premier League's record goalscorer Shearer told the BBC. He'll be able to attract players they wouldn't be able to if Ancelotti wasn't the manager. Look at Juergen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. You hear about their man-management skills. That's what makes them very, very good managers.
He still covers the ground well even at at 34, which I didn't do at 34. He still has that great cardiovascular capacity. People try to take him on all the time but he's got the dark arts you need to have in the throes of a game. He sets standards every single day. There's not much opportunity to do that now. Everything is on hold. Lennon wants the Premiership played to a natural finish - Celtic are 13 points ahead at the top - but the mood music tells us that this league could be called pretty soon.
The two sides, along with City, are locked together at the top of the Super League. But while we all wait for that, let’s enjoy Arsenal breaking new ground in the goal reaction video game: RETRO CORNER You know a player’s been around for a while when they’re both technically retro and still playing now.

But more often than not, a yellow card only adds to an individually tally – collect too many and it results in a suspension at a later date. And that’s another problem with the current rules. The roll-over suspension makes no sense. You could collect five yellow cards against Liverpool, Burnley, Newcastle, Tottenham and Watford, and then serve your one-game suspension against Arsenal.
Werder Bremen have won only 4 of the 18 matches so far this season and are the worst home team in the league with a 1-2-5 record in 8 games. With only 8 goals scored at home, they also have the worst offence at home together with Dusseldorf.
Mbappe's celebration! It's something I do with my mates. Obviously I don't score too much, and I was saying for ages that I'd do it when I next scored, and I think it was about three or four months between my two goals, so I'd been planning it for a while! Alexander-Arnold copied Kylian Mbappe's famous folded-arms goal celebration after scoring Liverpool's fourth and final goal against Leicester City on 26 DecemberTrent on.

I see here very easy at least four and maybe even more than four goals, really. So, Borussia Dortmund is team who is favorite, that is clear and they are team who is lost last two matches, 3-4 in fantastic duel against Bayer Leverkusen and also, in great duel, in Cup, they are lost against Werder, in Bremen, 2-3. Of course, this team is much better at home, but it will not be easy. Eintracht Frankfurt is beat in last round Augsburg 5-0 at home, and before that duel, 3-1 Red Bull Leipzig 3-1 in cup. Over is ok here.
Alex McCarthy had looked set to earn the Saints a battling point after making a stunning triple save to keep out efforts from Dwight Gayle and Miguel Almiron in the first half before then denying Matt Ritchie from the penalty spot. But Newcastle pinched the points with 11 minutes to go as Saint-Maximin pounced on Yan Valery's hesitancy just inside the Saints box before tucking a low shot beyond McCarthy.
Guests are have a lot of problems in last few weeks and they will surely have a lot of problems and in this match, that is clear, if we know how they are playing and how big problems, they are have in defense. Schalke 04 is as I remember lost all four matches so far after restart of season and we will see if they will fix that situation today in Berlin. Union, on the other side is fighting for survival but I believe that they will secure that without big problems. I believe in goals here, that is pretty real.
There are no suggestions of wrongdoing by Dr Chakraverty during his time at the FA. He has been in the England team set-up since 2016. Fresh questions over Farah's relationship with SalazarConcerns over Salazar 'dated back to 2011'The procedure involving Farah before the 2014 London Marathon did not break anti-doping rules but Dr Chakraverty failed to record how much controversial supplement L-carnitine had been infused.

The ball boy then gave him the ball back, prompting Cuellar to square up to him before dramatically collapsing after being nudged. Far from eliciting sympathy from referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz, Cuellar was given his marching orders. Having made all three substitutions, defender Jonathan Silva had to put on the keeper’s gloves for the remainder of injury time, but not before Cuellar had caused more trouble by refusing to leave the pitch.

With Leicester having the best shot conversion rate in the division and the second-highest goal tally, they are a serious threat to one of the division’s worst defences. The Foxes have hit 22 goals across their last seven games, while Watford are letting in over 2 goals per game on average. With 71% of Leicester’s home games seeing at least three goals, a home win and over 2.5 is our tip here.
Chelsea have an option to buy him back for £40 million, well under his market value, but Frank Lampard will first see how well Antonio Rudiger does when he comes back from injury. He may prioritise a replacement for Olivier Giroud, who is expected to leave. Paper Round’s view: Giroud has a couple of years left at the top and is wasting his time if he stays at Chelsea, so it makes sense that he is allowed to leave, and that Chelsea can get in a replacement for the longer term.
Fernandes won the Premier League player of the month award for FebruaryThe 25-year-old's all-round ability has the Old Trafford faithful reminiscing of the demand and desire of Roy Keane, the vision and passing ability of Paul Scholes, and the touch and class of Eric Cantona - his team-mates have been suitably impressed, being on the receiving end of the standards he expects. After the 1-1 draw against Everton, in which he scored a long-range drive, a report said that while most of his team-mates felt a point at Goodison Park was not a bad result, Fernandes told them they should be "mad" at failing to win.

Patson Daka reacted quickest to a rebound to open the scoring in the 43rd minute and a low Takumi Minamino shot from the right made it 2-0 before halftime. Hwang Hee-chan then added a third in the 69th minute as he tucked away a cross from teenage striker Erling Haaland, who got Salzburg’s fourth in the 87th minute to take his tally to eight goals in this season’s Champions League.
Lyon striker Ada Hegerberg has signed a "historic" lucrative long-term sponsorship deal with Nike.

There have also been big signs of improvement from the hosts. Since Claudio Ranieri’s arrival at Sampdoria, only Real Madrid (seven), Leicester and Getafe (both six) have recorded more clean sheets than the Blucerchiati in the top-5 European Leagues. We are backing Samp to add to that here, with another solid victory over one of the league’s worst sides.
