But the combination of the rarely impressive Brazilian Fred, the fading 31-year-old Juan Mata and the workmanlike Andreas Pereira never took a grip on the game with any authority. Villa are 15th in the Premier League and are unlikely to finish too far away from that position and yet United struggled to impose themselves on them, especially in the first half.
Liverpool have won their last 15 Premier League games - only the fourth occasion of a team winning 15+ consecutive English top-flight games (Manchester City 18 in December 2017, Liverpool 17 in October 2019 and City 15 in August 2019). Liverpool have won 70 points from just 24 games in the Premier League this season - the quickest any English top-flight side has ever reached this total. Jurgen Klopp registered his 150th victory as Liverpool manager in all competitions (W150 D58 L39).
The visitors featured in the game of the weekend on Monday night, with Lazio heading to Sardinia for a top-four showdown. Cagliari took the lead in that clash, but a late rally from Lazio saw them win 2-1. That ended a 13 game unbeaten run for Cagliari, which had pushed them into the European fight. Their challenge now is to recover that form.
Be focused on the game. Don't look at different things. The last trophy Everton won was the FA Cup (in 1994-95) so we have to have confidence. Everyone knows how Liverpool play, fantastic in counter-attack. Ancelotti is no stranger to derby matches having played for and managed AC Milan among other elite European clubs in a trophy-laden career.
Austria Vienna II and A Klagenfurt will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Austria Vienna II this season have the following results: 4W, 2D and 9L. Meanwhile A Klagenfurt have 10W, 5D and 0L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
But could things have turned out differently?"I sat down with Kevin Keegan and Sir Alex Ferguson on the same day in a house in Cheshire," Shearer told Gary Lineker. I saw Keegan in the morning and talks went really, really well. Then Kevin left and the Manchester United contingent came in, which was Sir Alex. His first question was 'am I seeing you first or second?' I told him 'second' and his words were 'well I have no chance then'.

Moyes has guided West Ham to four points in his first three matches since replacing Manuel Pellegrini, and the Scot is confident their fortunes will improve. We're trying to get some wins, and not just on the pitch," he added. It's still busy but the biggest thing is that the players have been brilliant.
Against Everton he was the player who immediately brought Gylfi Sigurdsson's offside position to the referee's attention, leading to Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury-time 'goal' being disallowed - and Maguire was right, of course. But it was also the way the England international practically lifted Fred off his feet and threw the player out of what had the potential to be an ugly confrontation with the referee that really impressed me.
PSG looks a solid side this year and comes in Madrid willing to get their crown in front of Real Madrid as the home side has dominated the matches between the two sides in the past years in direct meetings and also from distance. PSG is better than always while Real Madrid has a lot of issues right now, more than ever before in past recent years.
Insigne, the Napoli captain, broke the deadlock with a 26th minute penalty after Hirving Lozano had been fouled and then converted another spot kick 12 minutes later after handball by Pietro Iemmello. Perugia were then awarded a penalty of their own, following a VAR review, for handball by Elseid Hysaj but Iemmello completed an unhappy afternoon when his effort was saved by David Ospina.
The lack of an open market would drive down his asking price, which should be factored in if financial concerns are forcing his sale.

Whilst the two sides have had differing fortunes so far this season they aren’t too far apart in terms of attacking stats with Newcastle averaging a goal a game and Western Sydney averaging 1.33 goals. Their defensive stats don’t line up quite as well with Newcastle conceding an average of 1.6 goals per games whilst Western Sydney have had a much better defensive output with just 1.11 goals conceded per game. There isn’t much to put between the two sides though and this is a tough game to see either side winning all three points in.
I always welcome the best back into the league," the Bournemouth boss told reporters. It makes the league better. I was as surprised as everyone else looking from afar about what happened this week. But Jose’s an unbelievable manager and I think it’s great for the league that he’s back. Rashford gives Solskjaer his backing Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has given his backing to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the wake of Mauricio Pochettino's sacking by Tottenham Hotspur.
Curiousity is probably the other, wondering how a big club’s youth team stacks up against the gritty and hairy men of League One. When you are playing against men who are fully matured and developed physically they have an advantage,” said Neil Critchley, the man standing in for Klopp who will apparently be watching the game on his laptop and might text in if he has any advice for the kids.
Sampdoria have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 15 matches and have not managed to score more than a goal in their last three matches. Three of Sampdoria’s last five matches have yielded over 2. Playing at home has not offered much comfort for Sampdoria; they have one win in six home matches.
In England, Newcastle United is expected to host Sheffield United for a Premier League match which will be held at St James' Park stadium, Newcastle Upon Tyne city.

MANCHESTER, England, March 31 (Reuters) - FIFA are working on the details of a "Football Marshall plan" to deal with the financial fall-out from the coronavirus pandemic, which will almost certainly result in them dipping into their $2. World soccer's governing body have set up a working group to look into the myriad of issues thrown up by the halting of the game across the globe as a result of the pandemic and this week they are expected to focus on ways in which they can help give a cash boost to those struggling.

UEFA will hold an emergency meeting next week to discuss the fate of the tournament. IOC RESOLUTE Despite the spiralling impact of coronavirus, sport's biggest showpiece, the Olympics, will still go ahead as planned, according to Tokyo organisers. Responding to comments by U. S.

In a separate letter to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters, Knight expressed his "strong dismay" and set a Tuesday deadline for the clubs to "do the right thing. A windfall tax would help fund payments to non-playing staff or help the grassroots game, added Knight. The DCMS committee chair said the Premier League should be "role modelling a responsible approach" along the lines of European rivals.
Seoul have failed to win any of their last three encounters with Pohang Steelers (0-1-2). Pohang won their home opener 2-0 before drawing 1-1 on the road (1-1-0). Seoul lost their opener 3-1 away before winning 1-0 at home (1-0-1). The K-League will host a grudge match this weekend when Pohang Steelers, third, host FC Seoul, sixth.
Bournemouth also have a fantastic recent record against Brighton. The Seagulls have never beaten Bournemouth in the Premier League (D1 L3) and are winless in their last five home league games against them. The Cherries are also unbeaten in their last three Premier League away games against fellow south coast sides, so backing a Bournemouth Win or Draw Double Chance here looks a great choice.
Relive Tuesday's EFL actionLeeds had conceded first in eight of their past nine matches and were gifted an early opportunity to rectify that run when Jack Harrison dispossessed defender Henrik Dalsgaard just outside the box and, while he was able to skip past two challenges to create time and space to shoot, his tame effort was easily collected by Raya. The handout from Casilla, however, was taken in emphatic fashion by Benrahma - the Algerian pouncing on the error to drill home his ninth goal of the season into an empty net.
It will either galvanise the team or the new players will take too long to gel. You can then be saddled with those players in the Championship, which is why I can't see Eddie Howe seriously pursuing anyone. That said, a player who would improve Bournemouth is Liverpool's Adam Lallana - the midfielder was on the Cherries' books as a boy until he left for Southampton. Given our current plight, it needs to be all hands on deck.

Euro 2020 championships, but both FIFA and the FA would like to put back the amendment until 2021. The Sun reports this is in part because there is not time to trial or discuss it fully. Paper Round’s view: VAR and offside bring out lots of passionate, sensible, and terrible views. Paper Round’s opinion is probably one of those, too.
It would be more than irresponsible to force competitions to resume if things are not 100 per cent safe," Infantino said. If we have to wait a little longer we must do so. It’s better to wait a little bit longer than to take any risks. Infantino reiterated that FIFA was assessing the financial impact of the stoppage so it could prepare the right response.
Eriksen nearly scored late in the second half when his low delivery in the penalty area was missed by everyone and Mejias had to get down well to push the ball away one-handed. This was Tottenham's 31st match of the season and their 14th in a 53-day period since Mourinho's first game in charge on 23 November. He will be pleased with the win and that extra-time was not needed but will be frustrated with the late goal conceded, meaning they have only kept one clean sheet in his 14 games in charge.
I always preyed on the last defender's shoulder because I knew that I had the pace to get away from anyone, and I also knew that if any of our players got the ball in our defensive third, their first thought would be to try to find me. That is exactly what happened at Old Trafford. Jonny Howson got on the ball from a United free-kick and I knew his range of passing was brilliant so I just started running, and pulled off Wes Brown's shoulder.
In December, Sherrock became the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship and this time she was heading for victory against the three-times BDO world champion. Durrant, also in his maiden Premier League campaign, was met by a chorus of boos from the crowd at a packed Motorpoint Arena and expected to be jeered every time he was on a finish.

He added: "If you talk about coming late to training, we arrive at 10 and we start training at 11. If you're late for training you're effectively an hour and 15 minutes late without any excuse, that's quite a big deal if you're preparing for a game against Manchester City on the next day. I know the fines are relative, people can have their own mind. But the players are certainly big in the setting up of that and I think it's important to have discipline in the workplace.

I think we've got to look at the bigger picture. Wilder, along with the Sheffield United players and chief executive, took pay and bonus deferrals to support the club's finances during the pandemic. I think everybody that is in the know understands the implications if this season was scrapped, from a financial point of view and a social and moral point of view as well," Wilder said. Sheffield United are seventh in the Premier League, two points behind fifth-placed Manchester United.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1Tom's prediction: Leicester love playing these lower teams. Liverpool v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)United got their tactics spot on against Liverpool last time but their issue is that, in midfield, they are just not strong enough. When I look at what they have got in that department, I am largely thinking 'that's why they have got so many problems' because the days of them having strong, competitive midfielders are gone.
LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Former female professional soccer players will be included for the first time in research into possible links between heading balls and dementia thanks to a new project launched on Tuesday. Researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) will carry out long-term cognitive tests on former men and women players to shed more light on the findings of a report by the University of Glasgow and Hampden Sports Clinic last year.
Did you know? Stephens' five blocks against City was the most of any Southampton player. Mustafi: I saw the Gunners against Southampton and Brighton and thought they were shocking. I don't know what Mikel Arteta has said to his players since those defeats, but recent results seem to suggest it's working. They reduced Wolves to one clear chance when Adama Traore fluffed his lines. Apart from that Wolves never had a sniff.

Zinedine Zidane's side were reeling from a 4-3 home defeat by Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey on Thursday and started badly when Unai Nunez gave Osasuna the lead in the 14th minute with a diving header from a corner. Real showed little sign of panic, however, and midfielder Isco equalised in the 33rd minute with a volley before captain Sergio Ramos put them in front five minutes later with a header from close range after a flick-on from Casemiro.
In the betting, 'Stuttgart to Win & Both Teams to Score' catches the eye. For a start, both teams have scored in five of Stuttgart's seven home games, as well as in six of Karlsruher's seven away matches. Stuttgart's rear-guard is certainly not the strongest in the division, while their defensive record, especially at home, points towards the visitors scoring. However, the hosts are the better team, the team that has a habit of winning games at home. Quite frankly, Karlsruher, although they can compete offensively, lack the defensive strength to get a result against one of the best attacking teams in the division. The fact that Stuttgart have an average shot supremacy of +7.14 at home, as well as Karlsruher having an average shot supremacy of -5.43 on the road, adds fuel to the selection.
