Mourinho greeted the opener with a celebratory punch towards the ground. His reaction to the second was far more businesslike, screaming at his players, then shouting at Toby Alderweireld when he was ignored, to deliver an instruction to do with team shape. Three hundred and forty two days after his last match as a manager - and another derby of sorts - this was about as far removed from Manchester United's 3-1 defeat at Liverpool as it was possible to get.
I don't think it is about huge decisions or small decisions," said Mourinho. The rule, the law, it is or it isn't. UEFA punish them but they have the chance to appeal. Until the appeal finishes, Manchester City have the benefit of the doubt. In the end of the process we will see if they are punished or not," he added.
Since leaving the north London club, Pochettino has been spending time with his parents and family in Argentina. But speaking in Qatar before the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and Flamengo, he stressed he will "be ready if something arrives and, of course, open to listen". It is a weird time for us. But at the same time, I'm very relaxed, very happy when you look backwards. And, of course, obviously in life you need to move on," he added.
With little to inspire confidence in either of these teams at present, we're swerving the match betting this Sunday in favour of backing under 2.5 goals, for what should be an extremely nervy relegation six-pointer.
A couple of hours after champions Manchester City dropped two points at Newcastle United in a 2-2 draw, Liverpool scraped out a 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion despite having goalkeeper Alisson red-carded. It took Juergen Klopp's relentless leaders to 40 points from 14 games after 13 wins and a draw with City on 29, the same as Leicester City who host Everton on Sunday.
Port vale have been playing very good lately. They sit on 9th spot in the league and have won 4 of their last 5 matches. But they have conceded goal in all these 4 matches. Even there have been over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches. They are coming from a victory against Cheltenham by 3-1 goals.
WILFRIED ZAHA (27, winger, Crystal Palace) Value: £41. Linked with: ChelseaZaha almost left Selhurst Park in the summer but clubs failed to meet his £80m asking price. That could prove a stumbling block once more as Palace say they have no intention of lowering that figure. The Ivory Coast international is Palace's best player but could push for a move again if a Champions League club come knocking - and with Chelsea's transfer ban lifted, they could make an offer.

One thing in Valladolid's favour is their overall record at Jose Zorrilla this season, where they have been very difficult to beat. Sergio's side have lost only to 3rd placed Sevilla (0-1) in seven home outings this term, and the priority this weekend will be to keep this thriving Valencia side at bay.

As they so often do, Reims are fancied to win this fixture in low-scoring fashion. Punters can profit by siding with 'Reims to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. Strasbourg's record on the road points towards them struggling against a very sturdy host. While the visitors have struggled for goals on the road, scoring in only two out of nine, the hosts have kept teams quiet, keeping a clean sheet in 50% of their matches. We shouldn't expect Reims to run riot, though. After all, more than three goals have gone in in just one of their ten home games this term, while only two of Strasbourg's away games have involved four or more goals.

Domestically, APOEL are also running along fairly nicely, stationed in 4th place with several games in hand. Nonetheless, following a 0-0 draw at Omonia Nicosia and a 2-0 defeat at Olympiakos Nicosia in their last couple of outings, the hosts don't arrive with great momentum behind them and will have to raise their game significantly to challenge Sevilla.
United are fifth in the Premeir League table, three points adrift of Chelsea in fourth and five ahead of 11th-placed Everton. Solskjaer's side extended their unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions with Thursday's 5-0 win over Club Brugge to secure a place in the Europa League's last 16. January signing Bruno Fernandes was again the standout performer in midfield, scoring the opener from the penalty spot before creating goals for Odion Ighalo and Scott McTominay.

Reading only won 1/6 of the last match. At home, they have won 5/10 recent matches but drew all the last 3 matches. Meanwhile, Bristol City's performance went down quite clearly when only winning 3, drawing 1, losing 6/10 matches. Away, they lost 5/10 matches, while also losing in the last 3/4 matches. Watch out for what has been shown, the visitors will find it difficult to leave the Madejski field. Reading has an Madejski home advantage. Reading is 6 places inferior to rivals in the First Division English rankings, and the distance between the two sides is 7 points. This is not a big difference.
All but one of the sports teams to make the top 10 list are football clubs. Barca are closely followed by Real Madrid, with Manchester United third, ahead of their Premier League rivals Liverpool (fourth) and Manchester City (seventh). PSG are fifth, Juventus sixth and Ajax eight while the only non-European football team on the list are Flamengo.
The Chairboys have a game in hand on all of the sides above them apart from Coventry, and are only one point off the play-offs in the tightly-packed group of sides from second to eighth. Using the predicted results model, Wycombe remain in eighth place. The only changes are a shuffling of the four teams that currently occupy the play-off places, with Portsmouth leapfrogging Oxford into third and Peterborough moving above Fleetwood.
A couple of minutes later, he was celebrating an equaliser before he faced the media to reflect on the damage injuries to Charlie Taylor and Jay Rodriguez would do to his threadbare squad and to joke that assistant Ian Woan might need to dig his boots out for the weekend. It was knockout stuff and typical of Dyche. But soon, serious decisions will have to be made and no-one can be entirely certain how it will go.
TOKYO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - When Al Hilal last year became the first club from Saudi Arabia to win the Asian Champions League since 2005, they not only ended their nation's 14-year title drought, they reignited their rivalry with cross-Riyadh rivals Al Nassr. As the latest edition of Asia's premier club competition kicks off on Monday, amid concerns over the spread of the coronavirus in China and elsewhere in the continent's east, teams in the west go into the group phase with a renewed sense of optimism following Al Hilal's resounding win a little more than two months ago.
Otherwise, the highlight of the half was the performance of Dean Henderson, who made two fine saves from Raheem Sterling and then, on 36 minutes, after Chris Basham fouled Riyad Mahrez in the box, saved Gabriel Jesus’ poor penalty. The second period was not as invigorating as the first, but eventually City imposed their class and, on 68 minutes, Aguero replaced Jesus.

The new investment and this partnership with Atlanta will allow us to punch above our weight, aspiring to attain Uefa's top 100 status, and trying to level the playing field against significantly higher income generated by Celtic and Rangers. The accounts for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 for Aberdeen, which have been sent to shareholders this weekend, reveal an increase in turnover of half a million pounds from £15.

We’re confident that both teams will score this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams head into the match in good form and Utrecht have been very strong at home while their guests have been impressive on the road, and we believe the pair will cancel each other out on Saturday.
GOAL! Burnley 0-2 Manchester City. It most certainly had been coming, but there is the second from Jesus. In the absence of Aguero, Jesus is doing the business here. Fine pass from De Bruyne out to Bernardo Silva, who fires a super cross into Jesus, the Brazilian sticks out a leg and diverts the ball into the top corner.
We have also submitted a proposal to the local authority to trial a rail seating area within the stadium. Our belief is that the introduction of rail seating would enhance spectator safety in areas of the stadium where, as with other clubs, we have seen examples of persistent standing. The 20-times English champions said more than 100,000 people were on the waiting list for season tickets.
Real were missing captain Sergio Ramos through suspension and were tested to the limits by seventh-placed Getafe at a sold-out Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium and the final scoreline flattered Zinedine Zidane's side. It took some top saves from their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to shut out the home side before Varane doubled their advantage in the 53rd minute, heading a Toni Kroos free kick past Soria.
Derby have had major issues going forward on their travels, with the club hitting just five goals in their last 11 trips. While they’ve seen the majority of their away games finish with over 2.5 goals, that’s due to their defensive record. The Rams have lost 3-0 on four occasions already this season, failing to score in six straight away games.
It had rained all day. It was very, very wet. They had unbelievable players in their team, but it was that little bit of luck that you need. After their thrashing by Barcelona, there had been fears Leeds' Champions League campaign might be an embarrassment but that changed when they stunned AC MilanThe 35,000 Leeds fans exultant beneath the floodlit shower that night could have been forgiven for allowing themselves to believe the good times had arrived and were here to stay.

Griffiths hat-trick sends Scotland message - Lennon Media playback is not supported on this device Leigh Griffiths: 'Top-class Celtic striker getting back to his best' Huge week for RangersIt wasn't pretty, but after three domestic games without a win and three players injured in the hours before the 1-0 victory at Ross County, any win will do for Rangers. It was a positive start to a huge week for the club, with Bayer Leverkusen visiting Ibrox on Thursday in the Europa League, while Celtic are looking to all but seal their ninth consecutive league title when they travel across the city on Sunday.
