Rodgers added: "Jamie is a real talisman for the team but if we are going to have success it is about the team. He hasn't played for us in a number of games and the team has still played well but of course we want him fit and well. He is such a good player and we hope it is not too serious. Vardy has contributed to 34% of Leicester's league goals this season and has started all but two of their 24 matches.
Paris St-Germain cruised to a 6-0 win over sixth-tier ESA Linas-Montlhery in the French Cup - and their opponents were understandably star-struck. The amateur club's players are almost entirely diehard PSG fans and the draw handed them a once-in-a-lifetime chance to face some of their heroes. Linas-Montlhery coach Stephane Cabrelli is even a PSG season-ticket holder. I am 52 years old; I have been going to the Parc des Princes since I was six," Cabrelli said.
Second-half goals from Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy earned Leicester City a convincing 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. After failing to score with any of their first 11 attempts on goal, Leicester returned from the halftime break to punish Brighton twice and stay second in the table.
And though Bayern never had any sustained pressure of their own, they did create the clearer chances on the break. Even Ferguson, who will argue until his dying day that United were the better team because their intent was so much greater, accepted they created almost nothing. I honestly can’t think of anything exciting or significant,” he said in The Unique Treble, “until those last three incredible minutes.
You've got to look at the form of other people that are relentless right now. But we keep going and try to change the situation that we put ourselves in. There's no denying they're obviously in the driving seat. That's not handball. It's clutching at straws' Alfredo Morelos had a goal ruled out for a push on Stuart FindlayScott Arfield's spectacular goal had Rangers in front at the break, but Kilmarnock rallied in the second half and struck twice in the final 13 minutes.
Tottenham "have to give everything" to overturn their Champions League last-16 first-leg deficit at RB Leipzig, says manager Jose Mourinho. Leipzig won the first leg 1-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to Timo Werner's penalty. Spurs reached last season's final under previous boss Mauricio Pochettino. It is one game. We are losing 1-0 at half-time and we have a second half now to play and we go with everything we have," said Mourinho.
One game might be scant evidence but appointing a legendary former player as manager has been an option taken by both Manchester United and Chelsea in the last year. Could Everton be tempted in that direction too? MAN OF THE MATCH – Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) Under the watchful gaze of Ferguson, the symbolism of Everton’s incumbent number nine turning in an inspirational, match-winning performance was not lost on anyone.
Amazing finish. Conor K, Burnley: Typical Salah, misses 47 easy chances and then puts away the most difficult of them all. You can almost guarantee when he has a poor game he's going to score anyway. Harrison Short: What a goal from Salah, but nothing on that Roberto Carlos goal vs Tenerife in 1998 that was practically off the pitch. Leeds United moved top of the Championship as two goals in the last 20 minutes saw them edge past Hull City for a seventh straight league victory.
An opportunity, therefore, to look back on some of the highs and lows experienced by Northern Ireland players on cup final day over the last 40 years. Huge upset for Jennings and co As Northern Ireland contingents in FA Cup finals go, Arsenal's squad in the 1980 showpiece against West Ham had one of the biggest. Captained by full-back Pat Rice and with Pat Jennings in goal, the Gunners also had Sammy Nelson on the bench in a squad managed by former club skipper Terry Neill.

Arsenal splashed out a club record £72m to sign Nicolas Pepe, Tottenham spent £53. Tanguy Ndombele while Manchester United brought in Harry Maguire from Leicester for £80m - a world record fee for a defender. Back in August, BBC Sport readers voted for who they thought was the signing of the summer and it was Pepe who came out on top. That's not quite worked out, and while there is time for Pepe to come good it's not going to happen before the end of 2019.
Four years, four seasons. Buying one of the best goalkeepers in the world, buying one of the best centre-backs in the world and so on and so on and so on. I'm focused on my three-year contract. I believe that in my three-year contract we can win trophies. If we don't, but the club does it in the new era if I stay here only for three years, I will be happy with that. Tottenham spent more than £100m last summer, including on record buy Tanguy Ndombele, who has made just two substitute appearances since the restart, but also endured a string of injuries to key players earlier this season.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Aston Villa v Chelsea (17:30)Aston Villa are in trouble - big trouble. Individual mistakes are costing them in a big way and they seem to be making them at crucial times in games. I did not think they would be so deep in the mire but they have not been able to address their main problem. That is at the back, where they have conceded an average of two goals a game in the Premier League this season.
Paulo Dybala levelled for the Serie A champions at the end of the first-half from a rebound after Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was parried by Thomas Strakosha. Juventus seemed to be in control in the second half and Ronaldo was close with a shot which went just over but they were caught out when Marco Parolo's cross flew across the face of goal and Lulic volleyed in at the far post in the 73rd minute.
This focus on the back line has come at the cost of their attack though as the Stade August-Delaune side have failed to score in each of their last three league matches. This has been a trend of their campaign so far as they have scored the second least goals in Ligue 1 but they have made that work for them regardless as they currently sit eighth.
With him at the helm, Everton believe they can succeed where Bayern and Napoli have failed. Ancelotti won a Premier League and FA Cup Double with Chelsea in 2010Ancelotti first won over the Premier League when he guided Chelsea to their first Double. Beloved by his players, he went on to manage Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Napoli, though while he may have added to his trophy haul, criticism of his work has led many to question if the 60-year-old is the right man to take over at Goodison Park.

Piatek missed two good chances after the break but it did not matter as Hernandez rifled in the third. Earlier, last year's runners-up Atalanta were knocked out in a 2-1 defeat at Fiorentina, who scored the winner with 10 men. Gaetano Castrovilli in Fiorentina-AtalantaGetty Images New signing Patrick Cutrone exchanged passes with Dalbert before firing Fiorentina ahead after 11 minutes, his first goal since his move on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
I see odds fantastic for taking the away win here in this one with the hosts losing form in recent weeks with 3 losses for them in the league at this moment and remain with only 19 points won so far this season just 5 points above the relegation zone at this moment losing against two teams from the relegation zone lately, last round were demolished 3-0 away at an average at best Udinese side and lost 2-1 away at struggling Genoa as well lately as well as a 2-1 loss at home to Napoli who is having a really poor season.
Sibley's cool first-time finish from Martyn Waghorn's measured pass made it 2-1 and he completed his treble on just his second league start with another low first-time finish. Lions substitute Jon Dadi Bodvarsson scrambled in an injury time effort from close range to give hope of an unlikely point, but they could not deny the Rams, who move level on points with their hosts and just two points adrift of the top six.
Any kind of positive result will do for Eibar this weekend to stop the rot, but that looks highly unlikely based on recent form and their overall away record this season. Los Armeros have only beaten second bottom Leganes on the road (1-2) and have registered three draws and four defeats in their other seven away matches.
March 17 (Reuters) - The Euro 2020 soccer Championship, trumpeted as a continent-wide feast of football to mark the 60th anniversary of UEFA's flagship tournament, was postponed for a year on Tuesday as the coronavirus pandemic claimed its biggest sporting casualty yet.

At the end of my career I thought about what I could bring to the world. What is my strength in my life? I thought about other industries but the only thing I really knew and enjoyed was football. The only industry I felt I could really bring some creativity to was football. I want to pass my experience and knowledge onto the young generation.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has won the Football Writers' Association Men's Footballer of the Year award. The 30-year-old midfielder, who led Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years this season, received more than a quarter of the votes. As grateful as I am I don't feel like I can accept this on my own," he said. I owe a lot to so many people but none more so than my current team-mates, who have been incredible and deserve this every bit as much as I do.
Bogstad is not allowed to go to shops or cafes, to visit training centres or accept visitors, and if she trains she should do so at a distance form others. Her experience is in sharp contrast to that of Maren Mjelde, Maria Thorisdottir and Guro Reiten, who returned to their English club Chelsea to find one of the buildings at their training ground closed because of men's player Callum Hudson-Odoi had tested positive for coronavirus.

In his four months in charge of Hull, his side accumulated 17 points from his first 11 games - but only four from the next seven as they were relegated from the Premier League. Two days after leaving the Tigers, Silva joined Watford in May 2017 and took the team into the top four during his first few months in charge. His side took 21 points from 13 games but the Hornets only won once in his next 11 matches, before Silva was sacked in January 2018.

The players gave everything for the shirt. On the early error from keeper Tomas Mejias, Woodgate added: "We all make mistakes and I won't hammer anyone for that - we want them to play out from the back. What's next?Tottenham, who have only taken one point from their past three Premier League matches, return to league action on Saturday when they play at Watford (12:30 GMT), before a home game against Norwich on Wednesday, 22 January (19:30).
He had to go elsewhere and play non-league football. To show the attitude he did. England and won a Golden Boot so in terms of working for it and scrapping for it, he is a great example. Ian Wright: "He was clinical in the box and scored goals from everywhere. There was a lot of one-touch finishes where he just arrived at the right time at the near post. When he was scoring those goals at Sunderland I thought someone was going to take him away but it didn't quite happen.
They brought in players like Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, one seen as a gamble and one still regarded with some unease after his struggles at Chelsea and watched them blossom into two of the greatest forwards in Europe.

Todd Cantwell and Dennis Srbeny's injury-time goal ended a seven-match winless run for Daniel Farke's side, who climb to 19th.

LIVERPOOL, England, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp felt his side should have beaten Manchester United by a more emphatic scoreline that Sunday's 2-0 victory but was still left eulogising his team's "sensational football". The European champions are now 16 points clear of second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League, with a game in hand on Pep Guardiola's team.
Rodrygo and Vinicius are two of Real Madrid's three youngest Champions League goalscorers, only behind Raul. Real - who are now unbeaten in 10 games - had named a few fringe players in a relatively strong team, although Wales forward Gareth Bale was an unused substitute. Club Bruges finish third in the group and qualify for the Europa League thanks to Galatasaray's 5-0 defeat at Paris St-Germain which eliminated the Turkish side.
It is easy to see just why they have been so impressive of late, as Rovers have managed to find the back of the net 12 times in their last four matches. With such a goalscoring threat, they can challenge any side in the division and they know that if they are able to maintain it then they will be in an excellent position to climb a division come the end of the season.
Our correct score prediction points us in the direction of a 2-1 away win however. Newcastle travel to Turn Moor with some serious momentum behind them, and the Magpies are visiting an out of sorts Burnley at a hugely opportune time.
It was a different experience with no crowd there, I'd be lying if I said I enjoyed it. We missed the atmosphere, that's what we're going to have to get better at dealing with.

The idea is always the same, the players come onto the pitch to help the team.

Genoa have higher stakes to contend with as they are 17th in the table, four points clear of Lecce in 18th. Victory at Sassuolo would ensure their safety and Genoa have already beaten them this season, 2-1 in the reverse fixture back in January.

Outside the ground, there used to be a burger van," recalls Burchill. Who's standing on the corner waiting for a taxi eating the biggest burger I have ever seen? Lubomir Moravcik. On his own, no family. He'd walked out the stadium, walked 150 yards and bought this burger. Not one fan knew who he was. He had this ill-fitting suit on and he was standing just eating, waiting for a taxi. I was just thinking, 'This is amazing'.
