Leicester captain Schmeichel made one save in the entire contest but it was key as he guessed the right way to keep out Maupay's thumping penalty, awarded after Justin James bundled over Aaron Connolly in the area. At the other end, the statistics will show Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan as having made two stops, although they were more akin to pass backs than efforts on goal. Leicester playmaker James Maddison barely made a mark on the game - he lashed a shot over in frustration - while striker Jamie Vardy's wait for his 100th Premier League goal continues.
Lyon didn't finish 2019 in glowing form with just two wins in their final six matches. The two victories both came against teams in the bottom two at the time of playing so aren't anything to shout about. Lyon struggled to really show their quality against teams more their size like Rennes (0-1), Leipzig (2-2) and Lille (0-1). They scored eight goals in the two wins but outwith that they scored just three goals in the other four clashes with more difficult opponents.
HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: Florian Lejeune Big, big week for Newcastle defender Florian Lejeune. After revealing via the Newcastle programme that he knew just the way to dispose of a dead body, he scored his first goal for the club in the 94th minute of their game against Everton, and followed it up shortly afterwards with his second to earn them a 2-2 victory.
He had an incredible run with this club and will be remembered here as a great player, team-mate, and person, and we thank him for all that he has accomplished and helped the club accomplish. Wright-Phillips moved to New York Red Bulls in 2013 following spells at Plymouth Argyle, Charlton Athletic and Brentford. He scored 27 goals in his first full season at the club, outscoring team-mate and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
They set a new Bundesliga record on Saturday by scoring three goals or more for a ninth top-flight game in a row. However, Nagelsmann has selection issues of his own, at centre-back, where Dayot Upamecano is suspended and Ibrahima Konate and Willi Orban are injured. It could mean that on-loan Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu starts. Match statsHead-to-headThis will be the first encounter between Tottenham and RB Leipzig.
That being said, The Gunners still have some demons to work through after such a dreadful season. They have conceded 21 goals in their 15 competitive home games this season, keeping just four clean sheets and losing four times.
Snodgrass then doubled the advantage on the stroke of halftime, latching on to a Brighton clearance and blasting home from the edge of the box. Brighton got back in the game in fortunate fashion when West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski's attempted punch clear struck the back of his team mate Angelo Ogbonna and flew into the net.
Another match for today from Europa League and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is pretty real to expect. So, Besiktas is team who is favorite in this duel, but they are very problematic this season and generally this team is have a lot of problems. If I'm not wrong, they are won in last two matches just 1-0 and 1-0 but we will see if they will play this match with their strongest team or maybe with combine team. Over is very real here and I will take that. It is more than ok and real.
Having watched his team lose two Bundesliga fixtures on the bounce, interim Bayern boss Hans-Dieter Flick could resist any temptations to change his own XI around too much however, and that should considerably heighten Die Roten's chances of turning a weakened Tottenham team over.
Fulham should prey on QPR's problems, as the hosts have scored 1.8 goals per home game this term. The Cottagers are coming off an impressive win at Birmingham and we expect them to improve their great record at home to the Rs. We’re backing a Fulham victory as our main tip here.
With Terry’s influence at the club, he passed his views on to the powers that be and the move never materialised. Aguero would later move to Manchester City and become their all time record scorer with 178 goals, including that last minute winner that secured City their first Premier League title. Terry has since taken to social media to rubbish these claims saying "Where do these get the stories from? If they bothered calling players agents it would solve an awful lot of nonsense!" 09:30 – Lion on the prowl in Milan Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in talks to return to AC Milan after leaving MLS side LA Galaxy earlier this month, though sources in Italy suggest that a deal is still a long way off.
Jeonbuk Motors is going to face Suwon Bluewings. The hosts finished the previous season in the 1st position and they were the best team in Korea. Jeonbuk Motors won at home 12 of 20 games and lost only two times. They scored 36 goals and conceded 15. Suwon Bluewings ended the previous season on 6th place and they had a 29 points gap to Jeonbuk. The visitors lost 9 of 19 games on away and conceded 27 goals. In this match, I think that Jeonbuk will start with a victory and they will score at least two goals against Suwon. They are a better team
In attempting to deny Rogic of a chance to shoot, James Penrice merely cleared to Griffiths, standing free close to goal. The striker coolly side-footed past Scott Fox to put the champions ahead. They'll argue - with justification - that they should have been given a chance to make it two not long before the break when Jeremie Frimpong went down in the box after a shove in the back from Penrice. To Frimpong's astonishment, referee Alan Muir ignored the appeal.
If Moyes thinks that is unlikely to happen then it makes sense to move him on and use any money raised to buy younger or more reliable alternatives. Read the full story Brighton waiting on players Premier League club Brighton are waiting to hear from their players over an agreement to defer their wages, reports the Daily Mail.
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

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Port Vale will payout this Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors arrive as the clear form favourites and have won their last three away games in all competitions, but Scunthorpe have improved of late and the double chance bet covers us if the pair end up playing out a draw.
They want reassurances to questions they have around the return to training protocols and the specifics around the spread of the virus. We're due back in this week. I've said I'm not going in," Deeney, 31, told Eddie Hearn and Tony Bellew on the Talk the Talk YouTube show. It only takes one person to get infected within the group and I don't want to be bringing that home. My son is only five months old.
Ashley Young, Alexis Sanchez and Christian Eriksen all scored and set up goals as Inter Milan thrashed Brescia to remain third in Serie A. Young volleyed Inter ahead from a Sanchez cross and the Chilean scored a penalty after Victor Moses was fouled. Danilo D'Ambrosio headed home a cross from Young and Sanchez's free-kick was nodded in by Roberto Gagliardini. Eriksen scrambled home after Romelu Lukaku's shot was saved and then set up Antonio Candreva for Inter's sixth.
LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admitted it hurt to leave out keeper Paulo Gazzaniga for returning Hugo Lloris for Wednesday's Premier League win against Norwich City. France World Cup winner Lloris has been out since dislocating his elbow during a defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion in early October with stand-in Gazzaniga proving a capable deputy in the intervening period.

With only 2 points gained after the first 2 rounds of the Norwegian league, Stabaek started not really well this season, even though the opponents they have just encountered are not too strong. However, the season is still long and the opportunity for them to turn to more positive results is still plenty. And that opportunity comes right in the third round here when they only have to face rookie Sandefjord.
They tasted defeat in their last game, with Western United claiming a 2-1 win and they’ll be hoping to bounce back here. No new injury worries will be a boost to the side and the goalscoring exploits of Mitch Duke will buoy them further, with the Socceroo scoring four so far this season. The defence has been the biggest bonus for the side, however, with just four goals conceded, averaging less than a goal a game. But that record will be under threat this weekend as they come up against the league’s top marksman, Jamie Maclaren.
I like defenders too and good headers. I don't believe too much that these players are perfect for this team and manager. But I think he is an exceptional player and that is why Man United bought him. Nani: I told Fernandes to join Man Utd Nani and Bruno Fernandes were Sporting Lisbon teammatesGetty Images Former United winger Nani, who now captains Orlando City in MLS, says he told his compatriot and former Sporting Lisbon teammate, when weighting up who to join, that he should go to United without hesitation.
Argentinos Juniors will host Rosario Central for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. However, this will not be an easy task. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Both teams have the motivation to get all three points. However, Argentinos Juniors have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. In previous game Argentinos Juniors lost 2-0 against Velez Sarsfield. Also, we have Rosario Central who's is very average team. They have highly variable results. In previous game Rosario Central is won 3-1 against Arsenal Sarandi. So, I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
Hoffenheim last season only finished in 9th place, low position compared to what this team did last season because they have won tickets to the Champions League. Therefore, this season of the team of coach Alfred Schreuder wants to regain his position on the top of the Bundesliga in the 2019/2020 season, but that goal seems difficult to accomplish because they are ranked 9th in the rankings. Next to Hertha Berlin at home, a victory is what Hoffenheim aims to hope to climb to the higher position, most likely the home team will play well and get what they need. Hertha Berlin is 13th in the table. ranking, the position can be said to be low compared to what this team showed last season. With just 6 points more likely to be relegated, the position of Hertha Berlin is currently unsafe and they need to accumulate points soon to succeed. To visit Hoffenheim, the goal of Hertha Berlin is a victory, but before the home team is also eager to win 3 points, the visitors are likely to suffer the defeat.
Almost every footballer out there has their own book these days. You know the drill - the obligatory autobiography telling of great victories and what makes them tick on and off the field. However, plenty of footballers have also ventured deeper into the literary world. On World Book Day, we take a look at a handful of those players and managers - and one wordsmith in particular - who put pen to paper on something other than a contract or the standard tell-all tale.
Besiktas is Boateng's fourth club in two seasons, having joined Italian club Fiorentina from Sassuolo in August after he spent the second half of the 2018-19 season on loan at Barcelona. The former Ghana midfielder, 32, has also had spells in England and Germany in a senior career spanning 15 years. He has made 15 appearances for Fiorentina this season, scoring once. Boateng, whose list of clubs include AC Milan, Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund, described his loan to Barcelona last January as a "dream" move and played four times as the Spanish giants won La Liga.
There is something special about the occasion because Parken will be full, with many away fans, so it would be wonderful to win. Their stupid and quite entertaining one-way hate would make it even funnier," Skarum jokes. Parken is almost sold out, and it is hoped the atmosphere between the two sets of supporters will be cordial. There will certainly be plenty of interaction between them: Malmo sold their 2,400-ticket allocation almost instantly and, as Jonson explains, that number is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.
Grimsby Town have lost just four of their 11 away games so far this season, scoring an average of a goal a game on their travels. This is in contrast to Mansfield Town who have won just twice at home in the 2019/20 season.
Match preview Aston Villa v Manchester City (Carabao Cup final, 16:30 GMT)Aston Villa got blasted by their manager Dean Smith last week. I don't know if some of their players had one eye on this game, but they were very poor in their defeat by Southampton. I would expect a much-improved performance from Villa at Wembley, but I still think City will end up as convincing winners. Pep Guardiola's side won 6-1 at Villa Park in January and the way they move the ball around will make things very difficult for Villa, who are quite open defensively.
They are maybe two best managers in the world,” he added. Different managers, but they know everything about football. He also paid tribute to former City defender Vincent Kompany for the role he played in helping him settle at the club when he first arrived and for setting the example for him to follow. Vincent is a very good footballer and a very good person,” he said. He is a top man and he helped all of us into the locker room.
The Magpies have been excellent of late, though. They are a such a hard-working team and it does not matter one bit that they are not always easy on the eye. This is going to be a terrific battle, but I would back Burnley. Lawro's prediction: 2-0David's prediction: The thing about doing these predictions is you are all right with Liverpool-Watford and then you get a mid-table-ish clash and I just think 'I don't know who is going to win this'.
Two members of the Utah Jazz NBA team tested positive for COVID-19, and the league suspended the season until further notice on Wednesday.

I see a high scoring win for Shanghai SIPG as even last season when the hosts were better they won here with no less than 5-1 in the end, and the hosts are for sure relegated from bottom place in the league many losses and goals conceded by them lately even in home games losing 4-1 to Guangzhou R&F or 3-2 loss to Jiangsu Suning a few days ago being down 3-0 by half-time they did well to score twice in the second half as they are relaxed they know they are going to play in the 2nd league level and they do not defend that hard.

The festive-period figure of 74 over 13 days also accounts for injuries requiring less than 10 days of recovery. Newcastle were in a league of their own in clocking up nine injuries over Christmas and managed to lose five players in a single defeat by Leicester on Boxing Day. Manager Steve Bruce now has just one of his six central defenders available for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Rochdale.
The worry for Klopp will be that his side has played an awful lot of football recently, while their defensive insecurities are also a cause for concern, especially ahead of a match against the top-scoring side in the group.

This is Great Barr, where Smith, the son of an Aston toolmaker, is a legend. An area to the north-west of Birmingham city centre, the 48-year-old Villa boss grew up on the Gorse Farm estate, went to school in these parts, while his uncle Reg is secretary of Great Barr Conservative Club.

To all the fans, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me to understand and feel the greatness of Arsenal. To all of you who have supported us from every corner of the globe, all of you who have come to the Emirates, all of you who have waited in the rain and cold just to greet me after a game, I would have liked nothing more than to have achieved better results for you. He added: "It has been a year and a half full of emotions, of great moments and some other more bitter ones, but not a single day has gone by without me stopping to think about how lucky I have been to work for this club with these players and their professional and personal qualities.

The recruitment of Pizarro and head coach Alonso were an early indication of the club's ambition beyond domestic competition. With a goal of winning in MLS you have to also have your eye on the next level, and the next level would be the Concacaf and continental championships," says McDonough. We have made no bones about saying we aspire to try to get there. What we have to do is take it one step at a time and the first thing we have to be is successful in MLS, and successful in the US Open Cup.
