It is a kick in the teeth. I think they are the thoughts of every Premier League player, not just me - pretty much everyone doesn't want VAR in the game. There have been so many decisions this season that have been absolutely crazy. They were celebrating VAR like it was a goal and football should not be like that. Moyes, who suffered his first defeat since returning as West Ham manager, says it was "a really good goal".
Despite being known for their defensive stability, the hosts have struggled to find the back of the net on a regular basis and their last clean sheet in the league came way back at the start of October. Even if you take the season as a whole, Newport have not enjoyed themselves on the road and have just two away wins in the league all term.
Emmen score an average of 1.86 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.29 goals, while PSV score an average of 1.86 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.29 goals, and we believe the visitors will just edge Sunday’s match courtesy of a 2-1 final scoreline.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in Cheltenham’s favour. The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and many of their recent matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Cheltenham might not score many on the road but they don’t concede many either, which is why we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0.

Hoffenheim is in big drop recently, and this team is far from the squad which had place among the Champions league rivals in the league. With losing from Hertha 3:0 here, and 1:1 draw at the Paderborn, they are now in the lower part of the table, with poor run in the competition.

While others in his class wrote fan letters to their heroes, Daragh instead decided to write a complaint letter to the Merseyside boss, his father told the BBC. In the original letter, the Glenswilly National School pupil wrote: "Liverpool are winning too many games. If you win nine more games then you have the best unbeaten run in English football.
Robben retired in July 2019 after a career in which he won more than 30 club trophies. However he hopes to be back in action for the 2020-21 season to help Groningen, who have been badly affected by the suspension of football. It is my dream to wear the Groningen shirt again," he said. I don't know yet whether this will work. What I do know is that it will not depend on my commitment and motivation.
For the Gunners, a place in Europe is still a reality, being nine points behind the Europa League slot. They progressed to the FA Cup courtesy of a labored win over Sheffield United and will want to better manage their players to ensure they challenge for the cup there. A growing injury list could be detrimental to their plans.
For my players and staff, winning the league is something to be proud of and I will tell them that when I speak to them. Of course we would have preferred to play the remaining games, but player welfare was always our priority and finishing the season was ultimately not possible. We have to respect the decision of the FA, clubs and people involved in the game who have decided this was the best and fairest outcome.
Arsenal, who looked rather surprised that Leeds were that good despite being warned by Mikel Arteta, woke up in the second-half, played more like they should have in the first and won thanks to a scrambled Reiss Nelson effort. But only after a coating from Arteta. He shouted a lot,” said Alexandre Lacazette about how their manager reacted at the break.
Sassuolo went ahead through 19-year-old Hamed Junior Traore in the 29th minute and should have added to their tally as eighth-placed Napoli gave a ragged first-half display and were jeered off by their fans. But the visitors improved dramatically after halftime. Allan equalised in the 57th minute and, after a spell of sustained pressure, Obiang turned the ball into his own goal following a corner in the fifth minute of added time to give Napoli their first league win since October 19.

Quite often in games like that, nothing really happens. There is no way Guardiola will field a weakened team this time, or Klopp for that matter, but I just don't expect it to be a classic for some reason. It doesn't help that there won't be any fans there. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Big Zuu's prediction: This could go so many ways. City could just be so angry that they absolutely dominate us.

Arsenal go into Sunday's north London derby on the back of a five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League and FA Cup - but will that revival survive the weekend?BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson is not convinced by their upturn in form, saying: "I still don't trust Arsenal. Some people have got excited about their recent results and, yes, there has been some improvement - but it still feels like a bad performance is just around the corner.
Arsenal in serious decline Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal 0-3 Man City: Freddie Ljungberg says defeat shouldn't impact confidence This was as grim as it gets for Arsenal and Ljungberg, a caretaker manager who has not been able to coax an ounce extra out of the squad he inherited after Emery was shown the door. First things first - this is not all the Swede's fault, as this was a rot that set in long before Emery's dismissal, although Ljungberg had a close-up view as a member of his backroom staff.

I'm not too much concerned about records. We had a record at [Borussia] Dortmund and Bayern [Munich] beat it the next season. We don't feel as though anything is done, I promise you. We take a deep breath and then Saturday it's Southampton. While the result appears to have tightened Liverpool's hold on this season's title, it intensifies the pressure on the Hammers at the bottom. David Moyes' side now sit 17th in the table, just above Bournemouth and Watford on goal difference.
All of the stats heading into Saturday’s clash suggest that a double chance bet on Fortuna Sittard is the way to go and we have backed the pair to play out a 1-1 draw but feel the hosts could pinch all three points if they play to their very best.
Lars Ricken - Borussia Dortmund v Juventus (1997)Borussia Dortmund went into the 1997 final as underdogs, but found themselves 2-0 up at half-time thanks to Karl-Heinz Riedle.

All of VVV’s home games this season have produced over 2.5 goals, as have 83% of Twente’s away games, and we’re expecting more of the same this weekend which goes in line without prediction for a 2-1 away win. Twente have only kept clean sheets in 17% of their away games this season and we’re not expecting the visitors to keep one this weekend either, and the same goes for the hosts who are yet to keep a clean sheet home or away in the Eredivisie.
As well as waiting to wrap up the title, Liverpool fans will have to wait before celebrating as it is likely any parade will have to be delayed because of restrictions on large gatherings. You have to wait so long to win the league, then when you do it, you have to wait so long to celebrate it properly," added Alexander-Arnold, who grew up in the Liverpool suburb of West Derby. The things we see on that day, though, will hopefully be things we will never forget.

I've enjoyed it. The boys have worked hard the past three games but were on their last legs today. Arsenal had the best chance through Gabriel Martinelli in the first half but stand-in manager Freddie Ljungberg will make way for Arteta having failed to find any spark from the team, winning just one of his six matches in charge.
Norwich is on last place on the table and after they lost from Southampton with 0-3 in last home game I think they are going to stay there to the end of the season and of course they are not favorites to win versus Everton today but I think they might score a goal cause their offense at least is not bad and on the other side Everton played 0-0 versys lvpool in first game after the break and of course they should be able to score a goal versus Norwich so I surely recommend this bet to anyone for today

With just one victory from their last seven matches, the Eagles' paltry win return looks worrying at first glance, though Palace have also lost just two of their last nine in all competitions and just once in eight in the Premier League.
They have failed to score in seven of those and kept just three clean sheets. They managed three wins at the group stages and these came back to back before the shocker by Basel. Their real concern will however be in their away form in this competition, having lost six of their last nine. They have however avoided defeat in the last two away matches in the competition, with a draw against Qarabag and a win over F91 Dudelange.
