Henderson: Regular readers of my team of the week will know exactly what I think of Jordan Henderson. The Liverpool captain has had another immense season. Last year he lifted the Champions League and now he has claimed the Premier League for the first time in Liverpool's illustrious history. This model professional has not only made my team of the week on regular occasions but after repeated calls in my column for the England midfielder's exploits to be acknowledged by the Football Writers, they have named him Footballer of the Year.
Leverkusen have now won nine of their last 11 matches, have their best points tally after 27 games since 2010-11 and, in Havertz, have a striker whose involvement in 12 Bundesliga goals in 2020 is matched only by Dortmund's prolific Erling Braut Haaland. In addition, Havertz has now equalled Klaus Fischer's record of having scored 34 Bundesliga goals before his 21st birthday. Fischer, who played for 1860 Munich, Schalke, Cologne and Bochum between 1968 and 1988 scored 268 Bundesliga goals in total.
Newcastle boss Steve Bruce: "I was delighted with the spirit of the players. To come here has never been easy over a number of years. Chris Wilder has done a remarkable job. On the second goal:"Down the line we are going to have a few that will go against us. I have to say well done to Jonjo for keeping on going. If that is an opportunity the linesman keeps his flag down because it looked borderline.
Real Madrid pair Thibaut Courtois and Marcelo are injury doubts for the Champions League last-16 second leg against Manchester City on 17 March. Belgium goalkeeper Courtois has an abductor injury while Brazil left-back Marcelo has a hamstring problem. Real have not given a timescale for their recovery but say both players will be "monitored". The 13-time European champions will already be without captain Sergio Ramos after he was sent off in the first leg.
England have to win this game or their hopes of winning the title will be all but over. They have a good recent record against their opponents though with victories in each of the last two meetings. They won in Ireland last year and then hammered them 57-15 in a World Cup warm-up match. Ireland have only one win at Twickenham since 2010, that was a 24-15 victory two years ago.
The Norwegian said there was much more to come from Rashford. As long as he keeps being positive and being direct and thinking about getting in front of the goal and getting chances, he'll score goals," Solskjaer said. United, who are fifth in the Premier League, face Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday.
In the other late standout fixtures, Ajax Amsterdam aim to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Spanish side Getafe while Celtic are at home to Copenhagen and Benfica host Shakhtar Donetsk. Inter Milan host Bulgarians Ludogorets Razgrad behind closed doors as the authorities try to contain the coronavirus that has made northern Italy the focal point of the outbreak in Europe.
After that loan spell at Liverpool, she has been constantly scoring goals and getting in the right positions. She looks athletic, confident and calm. I feel like she has been transformed. She was probably not quite ready to play for Chelsea before she went out on loan. But now England scores all types of goals. I was at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's first game of the season and she scored that screamer against Tottenham and she is one of those players where she has improved so much on both feet, that you can't tell which is her preferred shooting foot now.
But with the country only recently emerging from a decade-long financial crisis, the virus could not have hit at a worse time, with Greece now projecting a 3-4% contraction of the economy this year. PROBLEMS SURFACE "The situation is not different from other European leagues," Lysandrou said. There are already signs that the problems have started to surface after the first three weeks of suspension.

Walter Ferretti are going to host Municipal at Estadio Nacional de Futbol. Walter Ferretti produced some splendid performance throughout the regular season, and despite the team lost the last match of the regular season against Managua, they are still my favorite to win this game. Henry Urbina’s troops are a real threat at home, they won the last 4 home matches in the regular season. Municipal Jalapa, on the other hand, have been average and finished the season sitting on 5th spot in the league table, and given their recent run of bad form, it is unlikely that they are going to shock Walter Ferretti at Estadio Nacional de Futbol. In addition, they suffered a colossal 6-1 defeat against Managua in their last match.

If anything the mental side is the priority at the moment," he said. It is a global crisis. The economy of this country is in lockdown. We know people are struggling on the front line. Some of the players are away from their families and they are missing them. Even if they went home, they couldn't really go and visit them because everyone is on lockdown but we need to be aware of that. We have a psychologist working at the club to give extra support.

Maybe he doesn't do it in front of a full house," said Ince. It reminds me of one of those that you do at training. Maybe I'm doing a disservice to him. However, fellow studio guest Owen Hargreaves, was a touch more complimentary. It is like Tony Yeboah, it's a thing of beauty," he said, referencing the Ghanaian's famous in-off-the-crossbar volley for Leeds in 1995. It is one of the best goals he has ever scored.

Owen went to a World Cup after his stellar season. Greenwood has more time and, although he will still be a teenage when the European Championships begin next summer, on this evidence it would be no surprise to see him included in Gareth Southgate's squad. The goal was vital for United, who have failed to win successive home games for the first time in nearly six months, but have the advantage at just the right time as Solskjaer looks to return the club back to something like their former selves.
Romelu Lukaku scored his 250th career goal as Inter Milan won at Slavia Prague to boost their hopes of reaching the Champions League last 16. The Belgian striker, 26, rounded the goalkeeper late on to put Inter back in front with his first Champions League goal for the Serie A side.

This morning with the physio he said he feels better. Not perfect. Leroy Sane is certain to miss the derby after Guardiola conceded the German winger is still weeks away from being ready for first-team football.

There are good teams in it," Solskjaer told a news conference. It might be a bad day, you meet someone . Another Champions League miss for United could prove costly with the club reporting lower second-quarter revenue and core profit due to their absence from the competition this season. We're a big club, we've got good finances but the longer you're out of it, the more you'll suffer," Solskjaer added.

In the 'Correct Score' market, a 3-2 win for the visitors is worth a small bet at a big price. For all Barton's men have defended very poorly, they have offered lots more than Rochdale going forward. They'll no doubt struggle to keep things tight again, but the visitors can outscore a home side that conceded three goals when last in action at this venue.
Winning the national cup, sealing promotion to the top flight, making your European debut and mounting a title challenge in three seasons - an action-packed period by anybody’s standards. Remarkably that is the entire history of Sporting Fingal, an Irish team who disappeared as quickly as they arrived. Only 965 days separated the first and final matches of a team who were set up as a community club following a chance meeting with Niall Quinn and a county council member.
When we look at Brentford's recent attacking form, especially at this venue, and compare it with Stoke's defensive efforts on the road, 'Brentford to Score Over 1.5 Goals' starts to make plenty of appeal. Not only have The Bees scored 13 in their last four at Griffin Park, scoring two or more in three of those four, but they're averaging an encouraging 5.67 shots on target for at home. That number makes them the best in the division in terms of shots on target per 90 at home. They're the second-best in the division when it comes to touches in the opposition box, averaging 20.18. Add in the recent defensive form of Stoke on the road, which isn't good, and a bet on home goals becomes hard to avoid.

It’s like he was back on the playground or in the back garden. We want them to have fun, there’s nothing dangerous out there - just 75,00 people, wanting to see the best," he said. With some questioning Solskjaer after the club's worst start to a season since 1988-89, the win which moved United up to sixth, was a major boost.
Before expanding a bit to the written press: " My thinking was that in the first half, we didn’t have a midfield, because I don’t want another question about the same story" "I’m not going to run away and I have to say that Tanguy had enough time to come to a different level. Some stern words. However, Mourinho shares the responsibility for Ndombele's poor performance.
I would say a large majority of Malmo fans are disappointed with Zlatan," Bengtsson tells the BBC. Nobody I know defends him. Of course some think the vandalism is wrong but at the same time they understand why people have done it. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 38, returned to former club AC Milan at the end of DecemberThough he never won a trophy in Sweden and played fewer than 50 senior matches for Malmo, the club's supporters used to see Ibrahimovic's globetrotting success as a source of personal pride, thrilled to watch one of their own make it big.

Two teams with different ambitions and both teams are in huge need of points right now. Zwickau is fighting to avoid relegation while Ingolstadt still have some chances for promotion. But my call here goes on Ingolstadt.I've watched Zwickau last game against the last place team od Sonnenhof and team that play for nothing and I was shocked from their bad performance. I mean when they could lost from a team that has 0 motivation what to say about team that has 100 motivation.Also there is huge quality gap between this two for sure. Ingolstadt are a very talented team with a lot of quality players and players with individual quality that can make a difference at matches like this.

My issue is obviously one of frustration. Seven cameras haven't picked it up - the most technical league in the world - everything we see at every angle and it hasn't seen a goal. That is disappointing from our point of view. I did have a laugh and joke beforehand that we have had some poor decisions go against us and I said I wouldn't bet against one going against us this evening. We were waiting for somebody at Stockley Park to show a bit of courage and say they will make that decision, but if they've not seen it and seven cameras haven't seen it I suppose they will say that it was not their decision to make.
Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City: Pep Guardiola pleased with Man City's comeback win Pep Guardiola's side have looked a lot more like their old selves with their attacking displays against Arsenal and Leicester in the past couple of weeks, scoring three times in both games. Of course there is still a question mark over City defensively, but they will take the game to Wolves and I think they will win it.
