VAR backed up Oliver, and Vardy grabbed his first goal in nine games, and 18th off the season, with the conversion. Leicester continued to push for a third, and Vardy added his second after making his own chance from the left wing, and Barnes made it four five minutes from time. The win leaves them four points behind a stuttering Manchester City.
The away team do have their form and goal scoring exploits to fall back on and this should give them enough for the win. It won’t be a dominating victory for AFC Wimbledon, and we’re predicting a 2-1 win for the South London side.
Whilst we think that 2.5 line should be beaten its hard to see how Western United can stop their poor run against a Melbourne Victory side who look like they had a renewed confidence during their win over Perth last weekend. With that in mind, we’re predicting that Melbourne Victory should just about scrape things in this game and claim a 2-1 win.
Spurs facing transfer setback Tottenham are set to significantly reduce their transfer budget as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Daily Mail report that Spurs’ income is set to suffer as doubts have emerged over the viability of securing a lucrative naming rights deal for their new stadium. The club furloughed all 550 non-playing staff this week and are still paying debts on their stadium, which was opened a year ago and has lost revenue from postponed football games and other events.
Porto coach Sergio Conceicao was eventually forced to substitute Marega in the 72nd minute. We are completely indignant," Conceicao told reporters. They insulted Marega since the warm up. We are all a family here, regardless of our nationality, skin colour, height or the colour of our hair and we all deserve respect.
Who knows? Gareth and I both agreed the door would still be open for whatever reason and then we would sit down and have a talk about it (if needed)," Vardy, who has seven goals in 26 appearances for England, told Sky Sports. We've not had the chat or anything yet and nothing has been spoken about. The lads (Kane and Rashford) are out injured, but they're looking to be back in time.
However, Real showed their class and Eibar froze, resulting in a resounding 0-4 success for Los Blancos. The international break definitely came at the right time for Eibar on the back of that fixture, and Jose Luis Mendilibar will have been doing much to focus and prepare his squad for this Sunday's crucial encounter with Alaves over the past fortnight.
Recent games between Forest and Leeds have been close. Three of the last four matches they have played have finished in draws. Of late, neither team has been good at killing off games. Leeds have failed to score more than one goal in five of their last six matches; a record that is identical to that of Forest. A failure to score in general suggests this could be an entertaining close encounter. It's hard to separate the teams. There will be twists and turns in a game that we expect to end all square. Back a draw.
Two attacking teams. At the same time, and in defense, both are not bad at all. I think Rijeka will go out of her way for an offensive home defeat 0-5 in November. Plus, there is a motivation for guests to go to a clean 2 place in the tournament. The home team scores in 100% of home matches (average - 1.5 goals per game), misses in 30% of home matches (average - 0.8 goals per game). Guests score in 100% of guest matches (average - 2.3 goals per game), miss in 50% of guest matches (average - 0.8 goals per game). The probability of entering over 2.5, according to my calculations, was 93%. For two teams will score from 1.89 to 2.8 goals. Let's see what happens in fact!
We did well. Defensively we're really pleased. It was a collective effort. With the quality they have they can put you in dangerous places. We took part in the game. We tried to play and attack when we could. We had opportunities but it wasn't to be. We move forward really positively with a clean sheet - we hadn't had one for a while.
Lyon have kept just two clean sheets in the six matches under García and with seven goals conceded in that time, it's clear where they need to improve as their attack has continued to be rather impressive with ten scored in this time. Lyon's home form had been pretty disastrous before García joined but it has improved since with two wins and a draw. However, with Benfica being the only real team of quality in those three games, a team with an awful away record in the UCL, they are still to be really tested under García at the Groupama and Nice could pose quite the issue for Lyon.

The 31st round of matches in the Championship are set for the weekend with Wigan set to host Preston North End in the early kickoff on Saturday. Going to the match, Wigan, placed 22nd, have 29 points while Preston are seventh with 47 points. Wigan breathed new life into their survival bid with back-to-back wins over Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds in their most recent matches.
There are now 15 points between 15th and 20th"Villa and Bournemouth's run-ins are much harder than West Ham and Watford's. Watford manager Nigel Pearson has been in this position before with Leicester and got them out of it, so he knows what it takes and what his squad have to do. West Bromwich Albion's 34 points in 2004-05 make them the team with the lowest total to remain in England's top flight in the Premier League era.
Meanwhile, an ankle injury and related issues had restricted Paul Pogba to just eight appearances this season for Manchester United, with his last back on Boxing Day, but he is expected to be fit for football's return. Reds striker Marcus Rashford, out of action since January with a back injury, is also nearing full fitness. As mentioned, Bournemouth will be particularly boosted by the break in play as they should be able to call upon a number of first-team players who had otherwise looked out of the picture.
As did their joyous celebrations. Jamie Vardy scored in his sixth game in a row, a nod to his prolific streak which helped Leicester deliver their last title, but there are major differences between this year and 2015-16. The first, and most important, being that while four years ago Leicester benefitted from all the big teams having a shocker, that’s clearly not the case at Liverpool.

Well this the odds are dropping fast at this one and with a good reason. The main reason is that Aalborg is playing at the Danish Cup Final against Sonderjyske so most likely coach Friis will rest all of the important players as that is a huge opportunity for Aalborg and the only opportunity for a trophy and the only way to get out at European scene. On the other hand Aarhus are in that 3rd spot so far with 54 points and really, they are playing an outstanding season and with a won here they will pretty much do the job and cement that 3rd spot.
Former Chelsea striker Demba Ba missed a pair of gilt-edged chances for the Turkish side before Visca, who hit the post early on, drilled home his spot kick. The United fixture was one of four in Europe's second-tier club competition ordered to be played with no fans present due to the coronavirus outbreak and two matches were postponed.
The result means the Blues are just four points clear of the drop zone ahead of the rest of the weekend's action, although they have been unbeaten in normal time in Duncan Ferguson's four-match stint in caretaker charge. Arsenal are currently ninth, six points off the top four having played a game more than their rivals.

This will be their first game of the season, so to predict the correct score will be a hard task. Therefore, I had to focus on some other factors when I was crafting my selection. I looked at their recent performances and their styles of play. I can see Rizespor giving their all and try to surprise Galatasaray on their home field by scoring a goal and this game ending as a draw.

Instead of the 10% allocation as stipulated in Football League regulations, City received 3,000 tickets for the game, with United getting around 2,800 for the return leg at Etihad Stadium on 29 January.

In fact, there's only one way to decide - a tournament!BBC Sport journalists have shortlisted 32 players and they will face off in a knockout competition until you pick the ultimate winner.

A wonderful week for JotaYou know the saying about London buses?Wolves forward Diogo Jota was so close to following his Europa league hat-trick against Espanyol on Thursday with another against Norwich. He got a further two goals against the Canaries and was inches away from a third as his shot rebounded off the post to allow Raul Jimenez to seal the points for Wolves. Linked with a £50m bid from Manchester United on Sunday, 23-year-old Jota has eight goals in his last seven home games in all competitions.
Timo Werner: brilliant footballer, natural goalscorer, terrible poker player. At least, that's the impression we got following his attempts not to appear too excited about being linked with Liverpool. The 23-year-old RB Leipzig striker scored the only goal as his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. It was his 26th goal of the season and, after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp recently described him as a very good player, Werner was asked how he felt to be linked with the Reds.

With his side 2-0 up and closing in on three points, Alisson came rushing out of his penalty area to handle the ball as Brighton attacked. As a result, Alisson will now miss the Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield on Wednesday. His actions set up a nerve-wracking finale and Dunk's free-kick - an awful goal to concede from Liverpool's point of view - means Klopp's side are still without a clean sheet since 28 September.
A game from Poland where Bytovia Bytow face Elblag. Bytovia recently had 3 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5 games and improved to the playoffs. Elblag has unbeaten in 6 games with 3 wins and 3 draws and improved to 4; they are in a place with 4 points more than the hosts. Elblag won 2-1 in the first stage, and here I think will end with a draw. An almost certain playoff game while the home team is on the playoff edge and they need points here. There is no doubt that they will want all 3 because it is the only way to keep the place that leads to the playoffs, so I think with two even teams playing here. draw is anticipated.
As a former Sunderland manager who followed former fans' darling Rafael Benitez, he was already in the red when he arrived. His team selections, particularly the reluctance to drop Joelinton, further frustrated the supporters and now the possibility of new, moneyed owners from Saudi Arabia has cast further doubt on the future of the manager. But time and again Bruce has confounded his critics this season with wins over Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and now this double over the Blades.
It was Espanyol who opened the scoring after 24 minutes when Raul de Tomas’ flicked finish was turned into his own net by the unfortunate Stefan Savic. The hosts could have doubled their advantage soon after, with Victor Sanchez smacking a long range strike off the crossbar. Atleti emerged for the second half with renewed vigour and drew level just two minutes later when Saul Niguez struck a stunning volley past Diego Lopez.
There was controversy when substitute Adnan Januzaj thought he had made it 1-1 with a strike from outside the area but it was ruled out for a Merino offside.

Their sense of grievance grew when moments later Benzema controlled a Federico Valverde cross with his shoulder before firing home.
Somehow, there was a happy ending to Luiz’s nightmare, with Granit Xhaka looking infinitely better as a makeshift centre-back. Mustafi especially owes his team-mates a huge hug. MAN OF THE MATCH Hector Bellerin.

They’re going back to David Moyes after sacking Manuel Pellegrini, 18 months after they told the aforementioned Moyes that they weren’t renewing his contract because they wanted to go in a different direction. Anyways, ignoring the complete and utter mismanagement from above (and that brilliant ratio on the announcement tweet) this is still a squad that still has Andriy Yarmolenko Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornais and Sebasien Haller for attacking options.
Shakhtyor have won their last three home league games without conceding. Shakhtyor have only conceded in two league games this season.
