THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES On your marks, get set … Sancho! Just as films are teased with trailers and, er, teasers, so transfer sagas are now announced several months in advance. It’s a kindness, really. They’re just letting you know that you’ll need to devote a certain amount of the summer to thinking: where should Jadon Sancho go? And also: how much?! Manchester United are apparently interested, because of course they are.
In recent matches, they have registered wins over key contenders for Europe - Roma and Lazio, while they have also beaten relegation threatened Lecce. The only hitch for them has come in the draw with SPAL. Milan have really improved in attack, and head to this clash having scored 11 goals in the last four matches.
Barcelona bounced back from last week's defeat to Valencia with a 2-0 win over Levante at Camp Nou, with Ansu Fati scoring two quick goals to lead his side to victory. See alsoFC Barcelona v Levante UD - La Liga LIVE The 17-year-old latched on to a fine pass from Lionel Messi to break the deadlock on the half hour mark and scored again barely a minute later, with the youngster's brace enough to secure victory, despite Ruben Rochina's late consolation goal for the visitors.
He pointed out that Nicaragua has recorded only a handful of cases of the new coronavirus and no deaths so far.

Ismaila Sarr was signed before Sanchez Flores' arrival for what was a club record fee in excess of £25m from Rennes, but his goal in the loss at Southampton was his first in the Premier League. Sanchez Flores has failed to make the most of Watford's attacking options, with only seven goals in those 10 league games and once the leaks at the back became more pronounced, it was all over. There was an element of risk in Watford's return to Sanchez Flores.
Pogba and Dele are going to be up scoring goals so we need someone to hold. AJ: "I'd put Giovani lo Celso or Tanguy Ndombele there but if we're talking defensive wise, you have a point. Matic is solid defensively. Dele and Pogba can both attack so having three attacking midfielders doesn't really make sense.
Defenders - Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Craig Dawson (Watford), John Egan (Sheff Utd) Van Dijk: He looked back to his imperious best against Brighton. Since the restart Liverpool have looked a little shaky at the back. There were two moments where Van Dijk showed his class and both were against Aaron Connolly. The Republic of Ireland striker came on and understandably tried to impose himself on the game.

Neil Lennon's side - who have played two more games than Rangers - have won 12 of their 13 domestic games in 2020. St Mirren, meanwhile, slip to 11th and are now just three points clear of bottom side Hearts. Reaction & as it happenedNo complacency, no surprises Any chance of a shock St Mirren victory looked slim.
It was a frustrating match for United, who started the game badly, but Solskjaer said his team couldn’t be unhappy about an away draw. He said: “It was a game with difficult conditions out there. It’s almost like an Astroturf – it was bouncing. The ball is very very quick and lively, so anything can happen and we got the away goal – a very very good goal, individual goal.
Thomas Tuchel's team has been extremely mentally strong this season with shock defeats to Rennes, Reims and Dijon not disheartening the squad. They are still to drop points in consecutive games this season with the last occurrence of that happening in April and even though Monaco will be right up for this match, we would be ignorant to doubt the champions.
The Premier League season has been suspended until at least April 30 due to the pandemic and clubs across the country have been hit by significant losses in match-day revenue. Newcastle United put non-playing staff on leave and instructed employees to apply for the government's newly-created coronavirus job retention scheme and Bournemouth said they had to take similar drastic measures to protect the club's future.
Italian Atalanta has had a lot of blows lately and most recently it was home to Juventus with 1-3. Sure, they play beautiful football and score goals, but the defense lacks standing and Dinamo Zagreb used it in the first match played in Zagreb and then Dinamo won 4-0.
Leicester are a very strong side, Rodgers does a fantastic job with his team," the Austrian manager added. They have a clear philosophy and very flexible in their shape. They're tactically well-organised. It's not a coincidence they are so high in the table. To take something against them is not easy and we want to show we can do it better than in the first game.
Normally, you would think Sheffield United would seriously change their side for the FA Cup, but maybe their league position means Chris Wilder can go for this a bit more - a cup run would be an icing on the cake for a great season for the Blades. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Newcastle Utd v Oxford UtdPremier League (14th)vLeague One (5th)Who did they beat?3R: Rochdale (L1) Hr3R: Hartlepool (NL) H2R: Walsall (L2) A1R: Hayes & Yeading (NL) AThe way Newcastle have pinched points so late on in their last two league games will have been devastating for their opponents but it shows the belief and spirit the Magpies have got, which is great.
And Chelsea and United both look like they will make it harder for us next year too. Liverpool's title was confirmed when City lost at Chelsea last week and Big Zuu definitely enjoyed the moment. He explained: "Kevin de Bruyne scored one of the best goals of the season to equalise for City in that game - I have not seen a free-kick hit like that. He hit it and it went into the sky then somehow dipped under the bar.
Mbappe and Icardi were the brightest duo with four goals and three assists between them as PSG demolished 10-man St Etienne 6-1 in the League Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, sending a warning to Monaco, whom they will host at the Parc des Princes on Sunday as Ligue 1 action resumes after a three-week break.
The fans have the right to do what they want but I ask them to support everyone. Real had fallen behind to a Willian Jose strike in the second minute but Karim Benzema and Federico Valverde struck either side of halftime to put the hosts in front, although the mood in the stands changed when Bale came off the bench.
The victory over Liverpool is their only win in their last nine league matches. The last three games have all had under 2. Watford only scoring once. Take away the three goals they put past Liverpool and Watford have only scored twice in five league games. They can thank their lucky stars that at present the bottom five in the league are all in poor form.
If you look at the characteristics of Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side that Freddie and I played in, then it seems that is the way he wants his team to play football too. In possession, they were certainly a lot better than they have been recently. But if you concede space, and you don't compete for the ball or get close to the opposition players, then you don't win football matches. That is what happened to Arsenal at Carrow Road.
If things are the same then as they are now, with the number of people who are dying, then we are not going to be talking about football. As of now, I am giving my opinion based on the situation at the moment and, right now, we still have time and the desire of the majority of football people to get things done. As things change, you reassess. What happens if we cannot finish it? As things stand, Villa would climb out of the relegation zone if they win their game in handMichael Brown: A lot has been said about Liverpool and the title, but really that would be the easiest one of the lot to sort out.
They youth sides of these two clubs met yesterday in a game where Energetik U21 was rated at 2.00 favorite to win the game but they were dominated from start to finish had to face about 20 shots from a very attacking minded opponent who had the lead 3-0 from half-time and scored 3 more goals in the second half to win with no less than 6-0 in the end. And Energetik lost lately with 4-2 at home to Kopetdag side which had the lead 4-0 from half-time of the game while last round they took the lead 1-0 at home with modest Merw side but by half-time they were 2-1 down and also received a red card and that was the way the game ended.
Swindon ended 2019 with a disappointing defeat at Port Vale but didn't let that minor setback derail them heading into the New Year, picking up an excellent 2-1 win at fellow promotion contenders Plymouth in midweek. Now returning to home soil, where they've won 5 straight league matches, there's every reason for confidence to be high in home ranks.

But they aren't, and he isn't. Against a string of supposedly inferior teams, Solskjaer's United have been found lacking. Aston Villa, Sheffield United, Bournemouth, Newcastle, West Ham, Southampton, Crystal Palace, Wolves and even Arsenal have taken points off United in the league this season. Their next two matches are against Tottenham and Manchester City.
Chinandega is not in the best form at the moment with 3 defeats and 1 draw in the last 4 games and scoring only 1 goal while conceding 10. However, at home they have not been so bad with a 3-1-2 record. And both defeats were narrow 0-1 defeats.
L-Carnitine was given intravenously - administered via four injections totalling 13. This volume, as planned, was well below the 50ml permitted during a six-hour period. I have not contravened any Wada or Ukad (UK Anti-Doping) rules and I have always acted in the best interests of those I treat. My due diligence checks were thorough - this is standard process, and was necessary as it was the first time I had been asked to administer L-Carnitine.
When you've been out for such a while it's always going to take time until you're 100%.

United midfielder Scott McTominay damaged knee ligaments in the win over Newcastle and Solskjaer said the 23-year-old could be out of action for about a month.
Moyes has been under consideration for a return in come capacity since well before Silva's sacking but Everton's board hesitated after fans reacted angrily to the possibility.

Pereira told Sky Sports News he was "grateful" to be considered for the role, but was "still coach of SIPG and SIPG is a club close to my heart".
The club have previous with the super-agent who has played his part in bringing the likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Old Trafford and it seems like the hierarchy at United have had enough. Wanting to dictate future transfer buy-out fees and clauses will always rile up the club during negotiations as it indicates that the club is being used as a stepping stone.
Posted at 56' Foul by Scott Brown (Celtic). Posted at 56' Michael Santos (FC København) wins a free kick in the attacking half.

Brodkin said Sportradar's system was based on data from studying millions of clean and some 5,000 corrupted matches, as well as the odds offered by 600 bookmakers.

It could be a big weekend for Diego Schwartzman as he has never won an ATP tournament in his home country. The Argentinian is ranked 25 places above his opponent and has shown the better form this year. He has yet to drop a set in this tournament and his opponent had to battle for nearly three hours in his last match. Go for Schwartzman to get the win here.
The 19-year-old is expected to see out the season at Parma, where he is currently on loan and has scored four goals and created seven more in 17 appearances, before joining up with the Turin club.

People who dismiss us as defensive do not know what they are talking about," he told newspaper ABC.

Sampdoria head to this game on a poor run of form, while Napoli have also not posted the best results. Sampdoria have managed just one win over Napoli in 17 matches and going to this one, we feel they will be underdogs again, having won just one of the last 17 meetings. Both teams have not scored a lot of goals lately, and we believe it will remain so here. A bet of under 2.5 goals could pass here.
