Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick while Phil Foden also got on the score-sheet as Manchester City swept Dinamo Zagreb aside in the final Group C game. Jesus has now surpassed 100 career goals with 12 of those coming in the Champions League. Having already qualified as group winners, Pep Guardiola made eight changes with Foden handed his first start since October.
It is a timely return to goalscoring form, for both the former England international and his club. Having scored 17 goals in 19 games before the turn of the year, his form fell off a cliff in 2020, bringing him just two more goals in 10 matches. Leicester won just two of those to leave their grip on a top-four place looking very precarious.
The Premier League is immediately committing £20 million to support the NHS, communities, families and vulnerable groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2019/20 season will only return when it is safe and appropriate to do so and the restart date is under constant review. Utd players donate wages to NHS Manchester United players will donate 30 per cent of one month's wages to local hospitals and health services in the first major coronavirus gesture from a full Premier League squad.
Sainté have conceded more than one goal in just one of their seven home matches under Puel and as a result we're expecting this match to be a tight one. The last two clashes between these sides in Saint-Étienne have finished 1-0 to PSG and 1-1 so there is history of this fixture being a close one. As a result of this we’re backing PSG to win but by a slim margin: 2-1. Paris have just one clean sheet in their last six away games and with Saint-Étienne scoring four in their last home match against Nice we can see both teams getting on the scoresheet here.
Maccabi Netanya is going to face Bnei Yehuda. The hosts of this clash are favorite and I expect them to pick up victory against Yehuda. The hosts won 6 of 14 games at home in this season and lost only one match in the last five played. Their opponents are the best team on away as they won 7 of 13 games and got five victories in a row. I expect a tough match for both sides as they play well in the defensive. I think we will not see many goals here that's why I pick under 2.5 goals as my bet
Tottenham say there is no evidence to support allegations of racism from Spurs fans towards Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger during their Premier League encounter on 22 December. Play was stopped during Chelsea's win at Tottenham after German defender Rudiger said he heard monkey noises. A Spurs statement said the club and the Metropolitan Police had "now exhausted all avenues of investigation". Spurs added that the police had closed the crime report on the matter.
The Ajax midfielder, who shone in his side's Champions League semi-final run last season, has long had an agreement with Zinedine Zidane's men and the Santiago Bernabeu side are in pole position to land the Dutchman. Paper Round’s view: Van de Beek is undoubtedly a fine player and his form this season has shown that his performances last term was no fluke.

Mason Holgate (Everton) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Gylfi Sigurdsson with a cross following a set piece situation.
Chelsea now have a precious four-point gap to fifth, the pressure has been released and the world looks a far better place. Not so for Mourinho, defiant afterwards but attempting to erect a shield around his team's shortcomings. Mourinho is now in full "what can I/we do?" mode after Son Heung-min joined Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko as long-term injury absentees.
However, on Sunday Ozil had one of his best games of an otherwise miserable season in which he has provided just one assist in 10 Premier League appearances. He helped create numerous attacking moves until his late substitution, something Arteta appeared to appreciate. I am hoping that he can sustain that level every three or four days.
Gol Gohar is in very bad shape right now and is on bottom of the table right now. They have 1 win, 9 draws and 8 defeats in this season so far. The visitors are sitting on the 4th spot with 10 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. If we analyze their recent matches, both teams finish ao many of their matches draw, especially the hosts Gol Gohar. I believe here draw is a good bet as both teams will be happy to settle with 1 point.. I expect a low scoring game and a draw here in this match.
Odds are the biggest there are on the market at this moment for this game as we have a game between the league leaders from Tishreen who badly need the win as after the break they could only draw 2-2 at home with Al Jaish as they had the lead 1-0 and 2-1 in the first half of that fixture while last game they lost 2-0 away at 2nd placed Wathbah and now their lead at the top which used to be 6 points has been cut to just one point.

Piotr Zielinski gave Napoli the lead from close range with Lorenzo Insigne's volley doubling their advantage. Ronaldo scored in injury time for champions Juventus. Sarri was booed by Napoli fans on his first game back at the club he left in 2018. He spent one season with Chelsea before moving to Juventus last summer. He left the club on a high - leading them to a club record points tally in 2017-18 - but returned to take on a side who were 13th in Serie A after a run of one win in 12 league games.
Guimaraes score an average of 1.67 goals per game and concede an average of 1.25 goals and Portimonense score an average of 0.83 goals per game and concede an average of 1.42 goals, and those stats combined suggest that we are in with a good chance of seeing both teams score this weekend. Both teams have drawn 42% of their matches this season and both teams scored in 67% of Guimaraes’ and 58% of Portimonense’s games so far this season.
Tasked with breaking the dominance of the 'Big Six', Rodgers has not only taken advantage of Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur losing their way but his side are three points ahead of Manchester City with the league's best goal difference. Leicester have won 10 of their 14 league games this season and have 32 points -- three points more than they had at this stage of their remarkable 2015-16 title-winning season.
We had a lot of crosses and chances, and the conclusion is that we deserved the victory. Hull City boss Grant McCann told BBC Radio Humberside:"I thought it was harsh and cruel but I'm not interested in hard luck stories. We thought we had scored and then 20 seconds later it was in our net at the other end. I was very pleased with the performance. We wanted to play through their press and I thought we did that.
That does not include spending on Goodison Park and the club's academy, which reduces that loss. But spending on players has taken wages to £160m, with Everton's wage-to-revenue ratio increasing from 77% in 2018 to 85% for last season. Moshiri has spent about £450m on players and changed manager four times since he took over at the club in February 2016, leading to questions from fans about the club's sustainability.
BERLIN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel defended a change in system against Borussia Dortmund despite a 2-1 loss in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday. Tuchel fielded a 4-3-3 system but while it piled bodies into midfield to keep Dortmund forward Erling Haaland under control it also left their own forward Kylian Mbappe far too isolated.
A German fourth-tier club have sold more than 100,000 tickets for a match against an "invisible opponent" - despite averaging crowds of 3,000. Lokomotive Leipzig have been selling e-tickets for one euro (88p) each for the event, scheduled for 8 May. They are planning it to help cope with financial pressures resulting from the suspension of football in the country because of the coronavirus pandemic.
They were not great in the FA Cup against Tranmere either, but that does not really matter because it was basically their reserve team that lost that tie. As for Everton, well you could sum them up at the moment by the way they failed to see out their game against Newcastle despite leading 2-0 at the end of the 90 minutes. Media playback is not supported on this device Everton played a 'fantastic' game - Carlo Ancelotti They have improved a lot under Carlo Ancelotti, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The Premier League's VAR system was back in the spotlight at Chelsea on Saturday when officials reportedly said they had made a mistake by not recommending a red card for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in the Premier League game. The Argentine appeared to stamp on Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta's shin as Spurs lost 2-1 in a battle for fourth place.
Son's injury leaves Spurs short on attacking options for their Champions League last-16 first-leg match against RB Leipzig on Wednesday. Son, who has 14 goals and eight assists in the league and Champions League this season, is set to undergo surgery with no timeframe given for his return. Mourinho said a Spurs statement that Son would be out for a "number of weeks" was fairly optimistic.
Al Wasl will host Bani Yas for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are a favorites in this match. They probably will try to make a positive result on the home ground. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Perhaps, this will not be an easy task. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Bani Yas who's is not very good team in this season. They have two consecutive losses. Nevertheless, the visitors will try to break the poor series. My pick - Bani Yas to win.
But City's relief turned to frustration as Wilfried Zaha powered past John Stones and his cross deflected in off Fernandinho and beat City goalkeeper Ederson. It was a tight game and unfortunately we could not win it," Guardiola said. Premier League history, of sorts, was made at Carrow Road where Paul Tierney became the first Premier League referee to send off a player after consulting a pitch-side monitor, adjudging Norwich's Ben Godfrey's late challenge on Callum Wilson worthy of the harshest punishment.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Port Vale. The visitors are the slight form favourites and have outperformed their hosts in most departments this season but we are expecting a tight and tense affair that we believe will be settled by the odd goal.
Alianza come into this match having won the last match away from home with 2 goal margin. Last season at home they managed to win 10 of the 11 matches at home and scored 35 goals conceding only 9 goals in those 11 matches.
LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Heading the ball in training will be outlawed for children under the age of 12 in Scotland under proposals being considered by the Scottish Football Association after a study found former professionals were at more risk of dementia. Scotland would become the first European association to ban heading for juniors if the proposals are adopted.
Portimonese vs Pacos Ferreira predictions for Saturday's match in the Primeira Liga.

The Premier League side were fortunate that Pompey didn’t take advantage of any of their opportunities, before Sokratis scored to change the complexion of the contest. Arsenal looked a different side in the second half and produced a masterclass in possession football as they controlled the game and didn’t allow the home side a sniff of a comeback.

However, Jordan Pickford soon made an error of his own, failing to keep out a long-range Bruno Fernandes effort that was well within range of his diving arms. United will have been happy with their first half display when they should have scored more with Nemanja Matic striking the post, but Everton had the better chances after the break when they turned the match into a scrappier affair and forced a number of set pieces - including a free kick that Sigurdsson curled against the post.
Everton are also under the guidance of a new manager in Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian can look back upon a rather successful start to life at Goodison Park. Their dismal FA Cup defeat against a second-string Liverpool squad aside, they have won three of their four Premier League matches under Ancelotti, and have actually only lost one of their seven league games since Marco Silva’s departure.
La Liga hopes to have some supporters back in stadiums by the end of the season, says president Javier Tebas. Spain's top flight resumes on Thursday, having been suspended on 10 March because of the coronavirus pandemic. Tebas says talks will take place with the government in two weeks to discuss the possibility of fans returning when it is safe to do so. Of course it won't be the entire stadium and there will be special precautionary measures," said Tebas.
One win in their last five games in all competitions is a worrying statistic for Guardiola, who can only hope that cracks finally start to appear in Liverpool's armour in the busy month ahead. Even if Liverpool stumble, however, it is hard to see City putting together the kind of sequence that saw them win 14 consecutive Premier League matches to win the title last season.
Tottenham, meanwhile, find themselves a point below Wolves in 7th place. Unlike Wolves, the visitors’ midweek action wasn’t much of a confidence boosting exercise as they lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich, although you can’t argue with the job that Jose Mourinho has done at Spurs so far.
In the Premier League, Tottenham have just one clean sheet to their name all season after 13 games, and with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez still largely underperforming in central defence, we don't expect Spurs to keep Bournemouth out on Saturday.
