GOAL! Man Utd 2-0 Watford (Martial) A little bit of genius from Anthony Martial makes it 2-0! He was put through on goal by Fernandes and had his first shot blocked by the outrushing Foster. Then he collected the loose ball and improvised brilliantly to dummy a couple of defenders and flip the ball cockily over the keeper.
Derby have won just once in four at home, while that was a nervy 2-1 victory against a Charlton side who have the league’s worst form of late. Barnsley are in a much better place with less pressure on them, so we see them getting something here. We see them holding out and getting a result, so Barnsley Double Chance is our pick in this one. With six of the visitors’ last seven seeing both teams score – along with three out of four at Pride Park – we’re backing a 1-1 draw.

Leicester City have surprised many this season and a return to the Champions League is looking a distinct possibility for them. Their away form is good with only Manchester United and Liverpool beating them this season. The goals have certainly been flowing and they will cause plenty of problems for Brighton in this game. Defensively they are strong too with only eight goals conceded in the league this season, the best record in the Premier League. Brighton have won their last three home league games but against sides who are struggling with little knowledge of what an away win is. Go for Leicester to get the win here.
I am still in contact with a few of the players and we have a few reunions. Howard: "I did see Elleray again a few years later, where I was at an FA Cup semi-final and he was assessing the referees. I went and spoke to him and there was actually a piece in the matchday programme from our 1997 game. I told him I was the player that had hit the shot and he was very apologetic. Mercer: "Everyone loves an underdog and people love the stories of a little club taking on the big boys.
Indeed, the side have been struggling in recent weeks and have also had to deal with boss Gerhard Struber's departure to Barnsley. All in all, Wolfsberger have won just 2 of their last 10 matches, losing 7 times in the process and having also fell to defeat in 5 of their last 6 fixtures, confidence is very low in visiting ranks coming into the game

Victory for either side would have sent them through and Valencia went ahead at Mestalla when Carlos Soler scored in the 40th minute after team mate Maxi Gomez had missed two gilt-edged chances, but Mateo Kovacic levelled for Chelsea two minutes later. Chelsea's top scorer Tammy Abraham was carried off on a stretcher with a serious-looking injury before halftime but Christian Pulisic put Frank Lampard's side ahead in the 50th minute after a lengthy VAR review ruled him onside.
Manager David Moyes, Vice Chairman Karren Brady and Chief Financial Officer Andy Mollett will take a 30% pay cut. Joint-Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold and fellow shareholders will also inject 30 million pounds ($37 million) cash into the east London club to deal with the challenges. There is still a long and difficult road ahead but we remain committed to doing everything we can to support those most in need, and together we will come through it stronger," Brady said in the statement.
Relatively straightforward, but inevitably controversial. For the resolution to pass, nine Premiership clubs, eight Championship, and 15 in Leagues One and Two combined need to vote in favour, with Friday 17:00 BST the deadline. Or so it seemed. But more on that later. First, the initial anger. Rangers issued a statement - the first of several - insisting they would oppose "in the strongest possible terms" any attempt to end the season.
Don’t take anything away from City – you earn the right to score goals sometimes. But it was poor decision-making, poor defending from Manchester United. The general performance, with and without the ball, was awful. Video - 'Pride at stake after worst United showing of season' - Solskjaer00:41 You can look at last night and say there’s maybe two players in there that came out of it well.
In the betting, 'Shrewsbury to Win' makes plenty of appeal at the current prices. The Shrews haven't been prolific in terms of wins overall, but they've looked good at home of late and have done so against better teams than Lincoln, beating Coventry, Peterborough and Sunderland in their last five at New Meadow. The fact that the hosts tend to give little away also bodes well. Lincoln, whose away-day woes aren't a secret, have registered just a single shot on target in each of their last three away games, which isn't positive for them ahead of a game against a host that has conceded only two shots on target in three of their last five at home.
On Saturday they'll go up against the league leaders, though Wycombe haven't been in great form of late, so the hosts will surely fancy themselves to do well, especially since their home record remains strong. The Black Cats have lost just one of their 12 matches at Stadium of Light this term, while their attacking efforts have certainly outweighed any defensive weaknesses. Sunderland have notched an average of 1.75 goals at home. They've conceded an average of 0.83. They're particularly good at restricting their opponents, conceding an average of 8.67 shots per home match. Only two League 1 teams can better that.
On top of this, both of these teams have been relatively low scoring when playing against other members of the Bundesliga's current top five this season. Both teams have scored just three goals in their four games versus the top five this season.
Birmingham come into this tie with a good run of collecting point in each of their last five games with three good wins and two draws which is partially an impressive form. They have not been on top of their goal scoring duty having conceded many goals as compared to the goals they have scored. Barnsley on top of being at home have been having a terrible run having only won 1 of their last five games with a dismal 3 consecutive defeats and placed 23 on the table makes.I predict a simple score within this game at least one goal
They started well but lost control of the game when Pukki stunned them in the first half, and not for the firsdt time, their soft centre was exposed as David Luiz and Mustafi struggled to make a claim to be the regular defensive partnership. Leno saved their blushes on several occasions. MAN OF THE MATCH – Todd Cantwell (Norwich) While Hernandez was excellent throughout, helping his side ease the early pressure in the first half, Cantwell grew into the game.
This fixture features no. 6 vs no. 10 in the league, Sunderland vs Doncaster Rovers. Sunderland coming from a 0 - 1 away win to Milton Keynes dons who are currently 20th in the league then won their last home game 4 - 0 to Wycombe wanderers. Doncaster rovers coming from a 0 - 1 home loss to Coventry city who is currently 4th in the league then their last game a 0- 2 win over Bristol rovers.
With the Gunners chasing the game and fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette already substituted, the Gabonese forward left the pitch to relieve himself. Video - Ljungberg defends Aubameyang bathroom break00:15 "If you feel bad you feel bad, it’s nothing you can change. I actually didn't even notice he went off, I just saw him come back on after he'd been off for a couple of minutes.
Do not get me wrong as odds of 2.70 on the straight away win are for sure not to be passed on but the guests during the normal season while playing against Tirol they won the game with 3-1 and on the bright side Tirol does not even play their home games at their own stadium, and they lost after the restart in this relegation group with no less than 5-0 in a so called home game against St. Polten which was bottom in the league at that moment and the score was already 3-0 by half-time of the game.
Moreover, two-thirds of the injuries that were incurred were alerted by the platform beforehand. While Zone7 provides a recommendation, ultimately it is the final decision of the club and their technical staff to act upon the data. But in 2018-19 Getafe finished bottom of the injury table in La Liga, with just eight in the entire campaign. Javi Vidal, their performance coach, said simply of the injury avoidance process: "What was previously subjective, is now objective.
They have won their last four league matches, scoring for fun in the process, and have had a great run at home too. With a 78% winning rate at home, City are second to champions Liverpool on home form and they will be out to extend that here. They have lost just twice at home this season, to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United, and have failed to score in just one of their league matches at home.
Scotland Second League. Team Albion Rovers will play at home with team Stirling Albion. My bet will be over 2.5 goals. Albion Rovers have a good shape. They did 2 -2-1 in the last 5 matches played. There they scored 2 or more goals at home stadium. I am waiting a goals from them tomorrow. Stirling Albion did win and draw at last away matches played. There they scored 3 goals. Their shape is well also . So , I am waiting goals from them again. Last match head to head was ended how 0 - 3. Tomorrow I hope for the such result for goals .
Backed with a run of having scored at least two goals in each of the last three matches, they will be very confident in this clash. They however have just two clean sheets in their last 11 matches and failed to score in just one of the last 13 league matches. Both sides have scored in four of the last five meetings while PSV have no win in the last four meetings between the two.
The home side have boosted their position following last weekend’s shock victory over Fiorentina. The hosts are now clear of the drop zone by four points, which is a solid return for a side who haven’t won at home so far. The home side have only lost once in their last seven games, so they seem to be improving. However, their defence remains a concern.

BookingPosted at 49' Kate Longhurst (West Ham United Women) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.

Palace have scored in three of their last five home matches but they have the lowest goal tally among the top 13 teams, at 13 goals. They have not been great in defence too; from the 14 league matches played, they have conceded 18 goals. Chelsea have lost their last two Premier League matches. Aston Villa have scored in each of their last four matches.
Defenders - Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United), Mason Holgate (Everton), Victor Lindelof (Manchester United) Aaron Wan-Bissaka: I've been banging on about Aaron Wan-Bissaka for nearly two years now. I saw him play for Crystal Palace against Fulham at Craven Cottage, and Roy Hodgson didn't want to talk about the player after the game for fear of attracting too much attention to the lad. I also said he was a Manchester United player if ever I saw one.
My team-mates enjoy it. There’s a little bit of joking here and there but, overall, they don’t mind me doing the TikTok as long as I perform on the field. A couple of players have TikTok now – I think I’ve inspired them to get it. The first person that comes to mind is Robert Lewandowski – I think I inspired him to get it but I’m not sure, maybe he got inspiration from somewhere else. I try to take funny experiences in my personal life to twist it into a funny way to express myself.
So what else did they talk about?Whether being hyped so young helped or hindered himWalcott, then a raw 17-year-old, was named in England's 2006 World Cup squad by Sven-Goran Eriksson. I had to grow up pretty fast in a man's game," says Walcott, whose most recent club appearances had been for Southampton in the Championship. Speaking about his World Cup experience he says he was constantly thinking, 'what am I doing here?'Walcott took a camcorder with him to Germany and says he was "a bit like a tourist" as he filmed "any old rubbish".
As good as the Reds' front three are, they are only brilliant when they are really sharp and I don't think they will be. I would not be surprised if Everton are cautious, play three at the back and sit in a little bit - they don't want to get torn apart - so because of all that I can see it being a close game. But the way Liverpool's season has gone so far, I am still going to go with them to find a way of winning.
Jordan Nobbs – Arsenal We have been treated to some delicious goals in the Women's Super League already this season, and Jordan Nobbs' strike against Birmingham is another to add to the list. The 27-year-old's third goal of the season will last long in the memory, as her first time lobbed volley from the edge of the area left visiting goalkeeper Hannah Hampton with no chance.
Smolevichy-STI will be aiming to amend their bad start of the season, after 3 league games without victory, losing to likes of Isloch, Vitebsk and a draw against Dinamo Brest 1-1 away. They have been in struggle form since the league start, the opponent in this game is another strong one that needed the points like them. Scoring just 1 goal in 3 matches shows lot of under confidence and lack of goals creative from the team, but I believe this is a big chance for them to show what they can do in this league.
The FIFA statement went on to say that the "gift" was to be viewed as an "undue payment", citing the decision of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court. Blatter and Platini, who were banned in 2016 from the sport over the payment, could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment. FIFA has promised that, if recovered, the funds and the interest accrued over the last eight years would be "fully channelled" into football development, where they were originally due to be invested.
Video - Nightmare before Christmas for Man Utd as Haaland picks Italian giants - Euro Papers01:21 Pellegrini close to West Ham exit The Telegraph believes that Manuel Pellegrini is on ‘borrowed time’ at the London Stadium after a disappointing start to their season. The newspaper reports that two wins in 12 games has moved the manager to the edge of employment, and they could soon be in the relegation zone.
If it wasn't for the failure of goalline technology, Villa would have lost their returning fixture at home to Sheffield United. They may have dodged a loss that time but there's one incoming. Back the away side to win both halves.
Our intention must be to play the fixtures, but it's really hard to imagine putting on a football game in the Premier League in two or three weeks' time given the scenario we are in. If we were to freeze the league it would be incredibly unjust for Liverpool to not be awarded the title, because everybody in the game appreciates what a fantastic season they have had. Equally it would be unjust for teams to be relegated with nine or 10 games to go in the Premier League.

TAA had set the Reds in motion with a sensational cross-field ball. GOAL! Liverpool 2-1 Everton. Keane gobbles up a chance from close range after getting the better of Lovren as he attacked Iwobi's cross. GOAL! Liverpool 3-1 Everton. Origi takes Lovren's pass down brilliantly before lobbing Pickford with a wonderful finish.
And it would be a big ask. While Liverpool face Atletico Madrid, Manchester City must overcome Real Madrid. Chelsea, meanwhile, face Bayern Munich, and Tottenham come up against RB Leipzig. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LAST 16 DRAW Borussia Dortmund v Paris Saint-Germain Real Madrid v Manchester City Atalanta v Valencia Atletico Madrid v Liverpool Chelsea v Bayern Munich Lyon v Juventus Tottenham v RB Leipzig Napoli v Barcelona It would certainly be a message of intent should Liverpool and City send the two Madrid sides packing, although equally, Real and Atletico will be aware that this is Spain’s chance to hit back.
However, we shouldn't be too quick to judge Paul Lambert’s men. Yes, they've not been at their best of late and yes, they need to do better if they're to secure an automatic spot but given that they have had a tough run of fixtures, their efforts haven't been as bad as one might think. They've only lost two of their last three, both by just a single goal. Four of their last five opponents are currently in the top five, while Portsmouth are 10th and are one of the best home teams in the division.
But why was he getting so many chances? The way he was cutting in was something we hadn't really seen from someone in that position. Liverpool at this point weren't spending silly money on players. This was a long-term vision that they had - to fit players into the system. Eyebrows were raised at all three when they were signed, but you have to pat Klopp and sporting director Michael Edwards on the back for seeing the players and fitting them into a vision.
