DISALLOWED GOAL! Zouma sweeps the ball in from a corner, but the path for the ball finding him was cleared after Azpilicueta pushed Williams to the floor at the front post. Before that, Fred looked to have pushed Azpilicueta into Williams to create a domino effect; you'll hear more about that at full-time I'm sure.
If he decided to, he could play anywhere. There's no doubt about that. The level he is at is the best of this season. He is playing really, really good. The fans are not here but he is going to come back to bid them farewell. Silva is joint-sixth on the Premier League's list of all-time assist makersHere is what you said on #bbcfootball:Logic Never Wins: Vinnie, Yaya, Silva and Aguero should have a joint statue outside the Etihad the same way United have done outside Old Trafford.
Gladbach are currently fourth in the table, three points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Up until relatively recently, it was Gladbach who sat atop the league. A recent slump saw them slip down the table. They have managed only two wins from their last seven matches in all competitions. While there is cause for concern, Gladbach fans will try to keep perspective.
Rochdale have lost two of their last three away matches. Rochdale have struggled to get this far having to go to replays to get past two non-league sides. Newcastle United fans aren't used to long runs in the FA Cup and haven't got past the fourth round since 2006. This season's campaign got off to a shaky start when they were held to a 1-1 draw away at League One Rochdale.

Legion is a new team in this league as they get promoted from the second league of Estonia but they do not play well in this season. It is possible that they will end this year on the bottom of the table but in the last three matches, they conceded only one goal. However, they scored zero goals and that's why they got only five points after seven matches. The visitors are better team and they should win against Legion but they also struggle on away and scored only 5 goals in four matches. I think that we will not see many goals here and I pick under 2.5
Only against Alex Ferguson (17) has Newcastle manager Steve Bruce managed more Premier League matches without winning than he has against Mourinho (10 - two draws and eight defeats). Newcastle had 22 shots, the most they have had in a Premier League game this season and the most they have had in a defeat in the competition since October 2018 v Brighton (27). Matt Ritchie has scored two goals in six Premier League games for Newcastle since the return in mid-June, as many as he managed in his previous 51 appearances in the top flight.
Connor McLennan and Niall McGinn looked lively and Curtis Main was proving a handful for the Celtic trio at the back. However it was the visitors who opened the scoring with their first real attack of the game. Leigh Griffiths got the better of defender Scott McKenna and slid the ball into the path of Odsonne Edouard. The Celtic striker fed the onrushing James Forrest who was denied by goalkeeper Joe Lewis, but McGregor followed up with the rebound for his 11th goal of the season.
I know you're a big Fifa fan and - last summer you were playing with your friends in Los Angeles and you had to have an early night. What happened?Haha! We always take our PlayStations when we go away. One night I wasn't the best, I got beat and I stormed off to bed… but in the winter break, I went to Miami and I think I was unbeaten. It's not about what happened in the summer, it's about what happened more recently!Trent Alexander-Arnold was speaking to BBC Sport before Liverpool's 3-0 defeat by Watford.
Cavalry will against Temperate in match Haiti division 1. My prediction this match could be the won for Cavalry with margin score is 1 goal. Cavalry have great result on last 3 match in league due to Cavalry have won in 2 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, Tempete have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Tempete only have won in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, I'm sure that Cavaly can beat Tempete on this match due to Cavalry more better in league on this season. Moreover head to head on both team on last 3 match is 1 match draw, won and lose. Nevertheless, Cavalry have more chance to win on this match.
BOUNCES JUST WIDE! That must have been just INCHES away from finding the back of the net with Duarte getting on the end of a corner kick, but his header bounces just past the post. Ter Stegen wasn't sure about that. GOAL! Barcelona 3-1 Alaves (Messi). It's that man again! He has saved Barcelona and has scored the goal that surely seals the points in the bag for his side! Messi! Messi! Messi! What a goal from the Argentine! He had four Alaves players around him on the edge of the box, but he strikes from distance and makes it 3-1! 74’ PENALTY KICK TO BARCELONA!

Barcelona have been restricted to just four goals in four games in the Champions League this season, with two of their matches finishing 0-0 and there is definitely a feeling that the side can be beaten. Finishing has definitely been the issue for the side so far with 21 shots on target but only 4 goals (one of which was an own goal), with a conversion rate of just 19%.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk are the key reason for my pick. They played goalless draw on the last two matches. They have big problem to score. Shakhtyor Soligorsk have played five official games in the new season (4 in the league, one in the national cup) and managed to score on just one match. So, five matches, just two goals scored. Slutsk play away from home and I think coach Vitaliy Pavlov will be satisfy not to lose. Almost empty stadium is also supporting my bet. It will be very hard for the players of both teams to find motivation. Draw will be good enough for both teams.
Metalac GM sit on 4th spot right now. They are only 1 point behind from the 2nd placed team. They have managed 37 points from 22 matches. They recorded 11 wins 4 draws and 7 defeats in this season. They had some mixed results in their recent matched as they have won only 1 in their last 4 fixtures.
Milan are without a major trophy since their 18th Italian title in 2011. Ibrahimovic statue has nose cut off by vandalsThe seven-time European champions are enduring a miserable season, sitting 11th in Serie A, with 21 points from 17 games.

Italy football federation (FIGC) head Gabriele Gravina said on Saturday he hoped teams could begin training in May -- provided players tested negative for the new coronavirus -- with the first games possibly coming at the end of that month.

Karim Benzema scored a dramatic equaliser for Real Madrid against Valencia but it was not enough to take them top of the La Liga table. Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois came up for a corner in stoppage time and had a header saved by Jaume Domenech with Benzema lashing home the rebound. Valencia had led with 12 minutes to go when Carlos Soler was unmarked to blast home Daniel Wass' clever cutback. Real are behind Barcelona on goal difference going into El Clasico.
He is magical, but in reality, there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real. In response to criticism from then Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri in 2008, Mourinho said: "I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans [at Inter Milan]. Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon'.
We're approaching the final stretch of a marathon football season. The coronavirus pandemic has made it a campaign like no other. Wolves, for one, have had a season lasting longer than a year. But plenty of other remarkable (and in some cases bizarre) things have happened. Leicester won 9-0The Foxes equalled the Premier League's record win - set by Manchester United against Ipswich in 1995 - when they thumped Southampton 9-0 in October.
I know odds are not the greatest but last season Redlands made it tough for Eastern Suburbs who barely won away at Redlands with 3-2 in the end thanks to a really late goal in that one while at home Eastern in the final round of the season took a 2-0 lead by half-time of the game but very late Redlands scored two goals and drew the game 2-2 in the end. This while both clubs are coming after their first win of the season last round the hosts won 4-2 away from home at Brisbane City but in their last home game failed 5-0 at home to Brisbane U21.
The derby between the two best teams from Belarus and currently these two sit first and second on the table. I will give preference to Bate as they have somehow shown more so far. They play quite well and there is no team that has similar strength to them. The Shakhtyor play solidly, they are very strong. Shakhtyor hasn't conceded an away goal yet and I think it's time for them to concede. BATE is the small favorite in this match, but the guests from Soligorsk has not conceded in last 6 games in a row. BATE hardly lose at home and the same but Soligorsk is maybe a little better team at the moment and that is why draw seems realistic to me.
In contrast, to show the total efficiency of their performance, all four of Arsenal's shots were on target. They had more shots on target in this match than they had in their three previous meetings with City combined, when they had just three. Arteta will not take the great pleasure from his win over Guardiola. The pair are too close for that. There is a wider context in that his Arsenal side, in its period of transition, have now beaten the new Premier League champions and the FA Cup holders inside four days.

Hoffenheim have currently got the worst defensive record in the top half of the Bundesliga table. They have conceded 27 goals in their 16 games. This is at least five more goals than any other team in the top half of the table. Hoffenheim also have the Bundesliga's second-worst home defensive record, conceding 18 home goals.
The veteran coach transformed the team, merging Atalanta's latest home-grown youngsters with a multi-national cast of journeymen and obscure signings, using the fluid 3-4-3 system he honed at Genoa. It is entertaining, it is risky, but by and large, it has worked. Atalanta came fourth in Gasperini's first season, seventh in 2018, and third in 2019. They also reached last year's Coppa Italia final. If Gasperini is the mastermind, long-serving captain Papu Gomez is the fans' favourite.
The Reds have got a hectic December schedule off to the best possible start, but that's far from the case for Everton. The Blues have now lost eight of their last 11 league matches and have dropped to 18th in the table. Silva needed a positive result at the home of his club's great rivals, but got a hiding instead.
Morecambe haven't been terrible at home of late, but of the two teams involved here, it is they who've offered less defensive resistance. In the betting, 'Port Vale to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' catches the eye. Vale haven't scored a great deal of away goals in recent times, but they're scoring regularly and have developed a habit of shutting teams out, keeping a clean sheet in three of their last five on the road. Add in that Morecambe rank as League 2's worst team in terms of shots on target for at home, alongside the fact that less than four goals have been scored in 77% of both their home games and Port Vale's away games, and siding with a low-scoring away win makes sense.

In their friendly games to prepare for the 2nd half of the season, 1-3 lost against VFB Stuttgart, 3-0 win against South Korea giants Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, 1-0 win against Dinamo Bukarest and 1-0 win against FSV Zwickau. That shows that they are ready for the 2nd half of the season.
One lasting creation from this season was the Pools Panel, which for five weekends running in 1963 provided results for postponed games and has continued to do so ever since. A little bit of history repeating in Italy? Serie A is currently suspended, with Lazio second to leaders JuventusSignificant and impactful suspensions or cancellations are not unique to English football, though. Other countries have suffered them too, including one notable occasion in Italy from over a century ago, which remains mired in controversy to this day and will be of particular interest to modern Lazio fans.
I kept seeing my friends get released. They had the ability to play in the lower leagues, but they didn't have an agent, weren't really connected and they'd fall out of love with football. That's where the energy to create the app came from. You may remember Febian Brandy, who spent over a decade at Manchester United progressing through the academy system alongside the likes of Fraizer Campbell, Darron Gibson and Ryan Shawcross.

THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES Oh when the Spurs go wading in They may not be particularly good, in any of the normal senses of the words, but right now Spurs are one of the most engagingly weird football teams on the planet. Last night they played relegation certainties Norwich City at home in the FA Cup … … and yet if you’d turned in knowing nothing about anything, you’d have assumed that the lads in white were the ones in relegation trouble, playing away from home against a better team.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said "people need to wake up to the enormity" of the coronavirus pandemic as the club announced 550 non-playing staff will take a 20% pay cut. Levy, who earned £7m last year - £4m in wages plus £3m for the completion of Tottenham's stadium move - is among the non-playing directors and employees at the club who will take a cut in salary, initially for April and May. The club will also use the government's furlough scheme in an attempt to "protect jobs".
The rich vein of form is nothing new. In his debut season at Manchester United he became one of only 11 United players to hit 25 goals or more in a campaign since 1992-93. Eric Cantona, Andy Cole and current manager Solskjaer (25 each) are among the strikers who never matched Lukaku's 27-goal tally in a United campaign. I think the way he is viewed in England is extraordinary, given his record," adds Smith.
Despite their worrying league position, Cologne have been enjoying an encouraging run of form in recent weeks. They have earned seven of their 14 Bundesliga points over the past four games. They have won both of their last two Bundesliga fixtures. They will be high on confidence going into this Saturday's important fixture.
Fifa video game crowd noise Gaming finally overtakes real lifeIt's been reported that broadcasters will use crowd noise from the video game Fifa 20. This has already been announced in Spain for the return of La Liga, where stadiums will also be adapted for 'virtual stands', meaning international broadcasters will be offered 'to-scale images of seated fans wearing the colours of the home club.
