Liverpool moved to within touching distance of their first title in 30 years as Crystal Palace were brutally dismissed behind closed doors at Anfield. Manchester City must now win at Chelsea on Thursday to further delay the inevitability of Liverpool's coronation as Premier League champions. After the goalless Merseyside derby at Everton on Sunday, they shook off the cobwebs in their first home game since the campaign was halted because of the coronavirus pandemic to beat Palace with almost embarrassing ease.
Real Madrid supporters have booed all of the very best players and Bale put in a good display when he came on. He just needs to focus on working hard on the pitch," added the French coach. It's not about whether I understand the boos or not, we need our fans on our side and so does Gareth, just like every other player.
Okay, so given the form of the hosts, calling it an upset probably isn’t accurate. However, if it is framed as a clash between play-off contenders and a side fighting relegation, it is easy to see why some would expect the hosts to come out on top. The lack of form by the hosts means it seems very unlikely they will claim the points, but it is hard to trust a side in the bottom four to come out on top. With this in mind, adding the “Draw – No Bet” safety net looks to be wise move to make.
The Welsh football federation will earn around £8 million from attending the championship this summer, and £5. Manager Giggs will take £400,000 of that as his own reward. Paper Round’s view: Players are generally given little money for succeeding internationally compared to their domestic achievements.
The two goals it conceded at the Bernabeu were the first two goals it had given up this entire Champions League campaign. On top of that, the offense has been rolling, too, having scored in 29 consecutive Champions League games, which has had a direct effect on the team’s results, with Paris winning eight of its last 11 games.
Both teams are close to the league leaders and it can be said that both these sides have chances to promote at this stage of this season, still Lokomotive Leipzig is for me the favorite to winning all 3 points here as they won on their last 3 visits here at Hertha II with 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2, so every time by just one goal difference it is true but enough for the points to be on their side. And Lokomotive is 4-4-1 on the road this season and that loss they had was the only one they suffered all season long.
Things have not been easy for Arsenal lately, they have failed to win all their last nine official games and Unai Emery did not resist the bad results and was sacked from the team two weeks ago. Nevertheless, the Gunners still have a world class team with incredibly good strikers such as Pierre Emerick Aubamayeng and also Alexandre Lacazette. On this match they will play on the road against West Ham, a team that has not been in great form too and this match is a great opportunity for Arsenal to finally get a win and we'll take them here.

The rest only watch it to laugh. But it affects people’s lives. It’s not just the players and the manager who are scared of being abused but their families too. Who would want to manage Arsenal and be in that firing line? If you lose one game you’re under immense pressure. Video - Ljungberg defends Aubameyang bathroom break00:15 He could have had a stomach problem like Gary Lineker famously did.
There was more frustration when Ayew's 55th-minute finish at the far post from Zaha's cross-shot was ruled out after a lengthy VAR inspection, the striker being ruled offside by the thinnest of margins. Palace are comfortably safe in 14th place but there is no question the end to their season has been something of an anti-climax. Man of the match - Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) Another strong performance by Marcus Rashford who added to his goal tally before setting up Anthony MartialUnbeaten run continues - the statsUnited have gone unbeaten in their last 19 games in all competitions (W14 D5) - their longest such run since a 29-game streak ending in November 2010 under Alex Ferguson.
All things considered, backing Both Teams to Score looks the only way to play as far as the betting is concerned when looking at the rate both Liverpool and Flamengo score with and is something we're more than happy to do. We fully expect the Brazilians to get themselves on the scoresheet but it cannot be denied that they are still big underdogs in the game and we also fancy Liverpool to run out 2-1 winners as a result.
While both sides are pushing to add to recent form, the constant for them this season has been defensive vulnerability. Norwich have conceded twice in five of their seven away trips, letting in 1.7 goals per game on average. However, they’ll be confident of causing problems for a Saints side who have conceded a goal in 100% of their home games so far. On top of that, the Saints have shipped 15 goals across their last three evening Premier League matches.

This two rivals are so far show to us solid football and we will see what will happen today. For me, this is one of the most safe options for goals and of course, my option here will be over 3 what is ok and pretty real. AB is team who is in last round in this league, who is just started played 0-3 and lost against B36, while on the other side, HB is played similar match, but in their duel, it was scored even four goals, 1-3. I believe this match can be similar, so I will try.
LASK did not make well start of this part in the playoffs of the league, and they are coming here after the loss and draw in the two matches. Rapid had good effort against champion Salzburg, and big 4:0 triumph over Sturm. They are coming here, in order to fight second place and the Champion league qualification in the next season.
So boring…The GOAT - Des in the studioLineker does as good a job in the Match of the Day studio as he did up front in the team of 1990 but this trip down memory lane is a chance to watch the presenting legend that is Des Lynam at the peak of his powers. The king of cool is on hosting duties for this one, and you can spot other greats in the studio and at the ground, including Jimmy Hill, Trevor Brooking, John Motson and then (injured) England skipper Bryan Robson…Waddle hitting the bar and the post… Media playback is not supported on this device England v Germany 1990 - Waddle hits post in extra-time This game will forever be linked with Chris Waddle of course - for obvious (or maybe not if you’ve never seen it) reasons.
All things considered, backing a Nice win has to be the way to play here and is something we're happy to do with maximum confidence. Toulouse just cannot find a way to plug their porous defence and taking into account the average rate at which they've conceded in recent months, in addition to Nice's attacking prowess as hosts, we believe a 2-0 home win could well be on the cards.

Those are decisions of such importance that he needed better results to justify them. Throw in Mourinho mischievously claiming in advance that he knew which system Lampard would use and the personnel involved (he was right) and this was a big day for the 41-year-old boss. It was a day when it came down to stick or twist for this relative managerial rookie.
Full TimePosted at 90'+6' Second Half ends, Aston Villa 2, Watford 1. Goal!Posted at 90'+5' Goal! Aston Villa 2, Watford 1. Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the top left corner. Assisted by Ezri Konsa Ngoyo following a set piece situation. Posted at 90'+5' Attempt blocked.
At the time the suspension of the league took place, Benfica were only a point behind the league leaders. Porto play the day before this match so could be four points clear by the time this match begins. Then again, Porto might not beat Famalicao and a win for Benfica on Wednesday would take them to the top of the league.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he never doubted midfielder Naby Keita, who returned and scored in Saturday's 3-0 win at Bournemouth. Keita cost £52. RB Leipzig in the summer of 2018, but has been restricted to only 17 Premier League starts since. Naby had injuries, the team is in really good shape, so then do you change?" said Klopp. It was just unlucky and in life you always need luck. A muscular issue, a groin strain and a back problem have affected 24-year-old Keita at various points during his Anfield career.
He made one senior appearance for Villa, as a sub in the Carabao Cup against Wigan in August 2017. In the past four years, Suliman has played on loan at Cheltenham Town, Grimsby Town and Dutch side FC Emmen. So far in January Villa have signed striker Mbwana Samatta from Genk for £10m, as well as goalkeeper Pepe Reina on loan from AC Milan and midfielder Danny Drinkwater on loan from Chelsea. Forward Jonathan Kodjia has moved to Qatar side Al-Gharafa for an undisclosed fee and reserve goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic has joined French Ligue 1 club Toulouse on loan until the end of the season.
Jablonec have a good 7-2-3 record at home so far in the league and in the last home games they have looked strong. Including the friendlies they have a 5-0-1 record in the last 6 home games scoring 18 goals and conceding only 5.
West Brom have only lost one of their last five home league games. Hull City had gone 12 league games without a win before beating Middlesbrough at home. Hull City have only two points from their last six away league fixtures. Midweek had good news for both of these sides as they bid for promotion and try to avoid relegation.
He was later seen leaving the stadium using crutches. Harry Kane plays every minute, he plays all the time. It might be big, it might be small. For sure he will be out. It is negative, hamstring is always negative. Is it a tear, is it a small thing, is it a contraction? At this moment I cannot say. Kane has suffered several lengthy injury lay-offs in the last few seasons.
Kilmarnock are not in the best form at the moment with 3 defeats in a row and at home they have won only 6 of the 14 games this season. In the last 5 home games they have conceded a total of 11 goals.
Ji So-yun's deflected volley then made it 1-1, before Stanway's thumping near-post shot - after she had feinted to shape her body to curl the ball into the far corner - restored Manchester City's advantage. But Chelsea, who have not lost in the WSL since January 2019, turned the game on its head when Magdalena Eriksson nodded in from close range and England picked out the top corner from distance. In between those two goals, Stanway had squandered a golden opportunity to put City in front for the third time in the match when Berger kept her spot-kick out after Sophie Ingle's foul on Caroline Weir.
Another match from Germany Regional league for today and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is for me just fine option, but we will see what will happen. So, Wacker Nordhausen is team who is after three wins in a row, now in series of three matches without win and they need to win at least one point today. On the other side, Union Furstenwalde, is ten matches in a row, played with three or more goals and in last three, this team is played 3-0, 3-3 and 3-3, what is amazing. Yes, oer 3,5 is good option.
Once more odds are too big on the away win in this one and quite delicious to take the DNB on the guests with them being 3.25 at this bookie, did not have the option in the other Serie D I placed a pick on but here I do and will take it. The hosts from Latina even played in Serie B some seasons ago but they are a shadow of their former self, lost a few days ago with a modest Ostia Mare side with 2-1 at home, they are 7th in the league with 26 points and just 3 points above Aprilia at this moment so not really that a big difference between these two sides.
He will have had his frustrations and let go of his cool but instead he kept his composure and came back. If United were to do an award for their most improved player he would win it. There are a lot more players in worse circumstances than Dier who every week know there is going to be one, a hundred or thousands of people who will pick them out because they're an easy target to do that.
GOAL! And another terrific finish, this time from Mason Greenwood, scampering down the left on to a ball from Chong. He fires it left-footed, pinging it off the posts and into the net. GOAL! Wow. Andreas Pereira saw the goalkeeper a few yards off his line, lashed in a shot, which bounced awkwardly and into the net.
Hoffenheim only has a 3-1-4 record so far at home this season and with 18 goals conceded in 8 home games, they have the second worst defense at home of all the teams in the league. 10 of the 18 goals they have conceded in the last 3 games at home.
When you've been out for such a while it's always going to take time until you're 100%. He wasn't ready (to face Burnley) because he's not really done too many games and he's had two in a few days and he just needed another day's recovery. 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.
Atleti desperately need a victory against Osasuna here to start moving back in the right direction after dropping to 7th in the table, but Simeone's side look far too short in the betting at around the 2/5 mark.
This is one of the games of the weekend as two top sides, both in form meet. Monchengladbach are still in the title race and will be hopiing the top two slip up in the coming weeks. They have a tough game here against Bayer Leverkusen who regularly score on their travels. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager to make.
Locked on 37 points, these two sides find themselves at the heart of the playoff battle this week. The Swans are in seventh after their weekend win over Luton, while a point against the leaders left Brentford in sixth. Now they face off chasing a place in the top six.
