It would take a collapse of unthinkable proportions from a Liverpool team that have forgotten how to lose league games, and are at the peak of their powers, to throw this away now. The Queen's famous horse Devon Loch, who inexplicably fell within sight of the winning line in the 1956 Grand National, would be wiped from the history books as the worst finisher if Liverpool made a hash of this. Liverpool will, correctly, point to the twists and turns that could yet impact on their route to the title - but every indicator suggests this race is run in all but the confirmation.
Follow it here! We'll be back bright and early tomorrow for more glorious updates from the world of football. Can't wait? Get the below anthem in your ears. It's almost back in your lives. Feyenoord fans banned from Porto trip Feyenoord have been banned from selling tickets to their fans for next month's Europa League game at Porto following crowd trouble in their match at Young Boys in Basel, UEFA said on Monday.
Sheffield United have also lost just one of their last six at home, while only one team outside of the current top three has gone to Bramall Lane and returned with all three points. The form of Wilder's men against those outside of the top three points towards them doing very well against Non-League opposition.
And yet Odion Ighalo has moved a step closer to his Premier League return after appearing in Manchester United's kit. Whether he’s in England, or United have flown a sponsored backdrop and shirt out to China due to the coronavirus, remains to be seen… IN THE CHANNELS Big John McGinn… is actually Big John McGinn.
The hosts, 16th in the table, are only above the relegation zone thanks to their superior goal difference. The visitors, sixth in the table, remain two points behind Manchester United in the battle for Champions League football. Every point will count at the business end of the season and each team will be fighting tooth and nail to add to their total.
Dinamo Brest is on 4th place at this moment and not so long ago they were just 3rd from bottom in the league standings, but they are in great shape ever since playing the final of the cup competition which they lost in extra-time to BATE, they have won with no less than 6-1 at home against FC Minsk and also recorded a 4-1 win away from home at a sturdy defense like Rukh Brest side has and even recorded the first loss for Zhodino at home this season last round winning with 2-0 on the road as well.
sitting seventh in the table, Mirandes is just behind the playoffs, Numancia slipped to 16th place after a bad run before the break and is only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone, but I expect a close game with a draw at the End. A very close match is expected between these two teams in this Castilian derby. I think that both teams with one point will confirm to maintain their ambitions of still being able to play in the second league. In addition, the two previous matches they have played against each other was draw. So I think that on this third occasion, the defensive characteristics of both teams can be repeated.
I was not on my own but it did not make the original claim any less embarrassing. Pep's Mahrez madness - or not, as the case may beLiverpool and Manchester City fought out a magnificent title race last season - with Pep Guardiola's side travelling to Brighton the final day needing victory to retain their Premier League crown. All was well as they led 2-1 but something was troubling me, namely Guardiola's decision to select Riyad Mahrez.
The former Tunisia and Kuwait coach replaces Fajr Ibrahim, who led Syria to the top of the standings in the ongoing qualifying rounds for the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar. I'm glad to be appointed head coach for the Syria national team and happy to have the trust of the Syria Football Association," Maaloul wrote on Twitter.
I will even take the home win by at least 2 goals difference, reasons very simply, both teams prepared for the restart of the season with friendly games against big sides, both played with Sparta Prague, while Dukla lost just 3-2 and 4-1 against them, Jihlava lost 4-1 and 6-0 at Sparta Prague, and Dukla lost only 3-1 at Plzen which even demolished Ceske Budejovice with 4-1 on the road recently in another friendly game while Jihlava played away at Bohemians twice in the same day losing once with 3-0 and a second time with 4-1, so overall the result is Dukla is better prepared for this game which they do play at home even though with no spectators.

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.
Instead, they faltered in the league and Carlo Ancelotti lost his job as manager despite progression to the last 16. Gennaro Gattuso struggled to change results immediately, losing four of his first five league matches. However, in recent weeks there have been signs of improvement with a win against Juventus being one of three wins from their last four league matches.
City's David Silva has assisted 21 Premier League goals for team-mate Sergio Aguero - the only player to assist another more in the competition is Frank Lampard for Didier Drogba (24 goals). City's Riyad Mahrez is the only Premier League player to both score and assist 20 goals since the start of last season in all competitions (21 goals, 23 assists). In all competitions, City's Kevin de Bruyne has assisted 15 goals this season - five more than any other Premier League player.
Fortuna Dusseldorf is in relegation zone, in last round they are won at away against Freiburg, 0-2, and tonight they will face one of their direct rivals for relegation, Hertha from Berlin. Visitors are defeated in last round at home ground against FC Koln, result was unbelievable 0-5. Hertha BSC urgently need to change something in their tactic, by my opinion, they have solid players, Cunha and Piatek will are in attack, Ascacibar, Maier and Grujic are in midfield, they won last three rounds at away, and I hope they will continue to collect three points as visitors. Fortuna Dusseldorf is an average squad. Victory for Hertha BSC.

That is a poorer run than they ever suffered under Arsene Wenger, with 1992’s stretch of eight games without a win the last time the going has been so bad at the club. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given Arsenal the lead just before half-time, but Daichi Kamada’s second-half double ultimately turned the tie on its head.

Blackburn will be travelling to tackle Derby County at Pride Park Stadium with 5 league games unbeaten run in their mind, hoping to extend their beautiful form further. After 36 league games, they are presently 10th in the league table with 53 points, winning in all 14 games, 11 games finished draw and 11 games lost. Going by their form recently I believe that they are equal to the task to acquire point here, Derby County as host has improved their form long ago that help and push them out of relegation zone. They still have a lot in their hands to do because of lack of obtaining the right points at the moment, with 48 points the took 14 position in the league, scoring 46 goals against 49, a point here will boast their moral for the next game.

He showed at the end of the game his shot-stopping ability that made him the toast of the nation at the last World Cup, but this is trumped by the foibles in his game. Both stats (most goals from errors in the Premier League in last 18 months) and the eye test tell the same story. Unfortunately there is not a clear answer or experienced keeper lying in wait to take over the gloves, but taking a flier on either Nick Pope or Dean Henderson would be a far better option.
Nobody else got to the World Cup semi-finals and the latter stages of the Nations League. So we are in that mix of teams, but there are lot of good teams and the difference on one day between any of the top 10 teams is so marginal in football. It's a bit different in rugby union, where there are only really four or five contenders. With us in the European Championships, it's always been more random than a World Cup actually, so you could look at any one of 10 teams and think they could win it.

psg have been in impressive form having won the last four of their five matches and having drawn one but also there need not looking down on Lyon who have lost one out of their five matches. Psg have been a goal scoring machine as compared to Lyon and need to consider the fact that Lyon have not won at the parc de prince since 2007 so will be in need to break records while Paris Saint Germain will be aiming to solidify their dominance towards Lyon by winning and scoring as many goals. In my opinion this game will be a high scoring game
The obvious answer is to scrap VAR and return to the fair and honest assessment of a referee and his assistants on the field. But too many in the game have pre-determined that VAR has to be a success. Perhaps the best fans can hope for is that the use of VAR is drastically limited and one way for that to happen is to follow cricket, tennis and American football and introduce a limited two 'challenges' per team with the referees verdict backed when it is too close to call.
In the aftermath of that goal, the City fans sang "We won the league in Fergie Time" to mock fierce rivals United, who they had just pipped to the title. Six months after Aguero's goal against QPR, BBC News conducted some research into the notion of 'Fergie Time' and found that it did have some validity, not exclusively as an advantage to United but to all big clubs. What Ferguson understood, though, was that the reality of 'Fergie Time' mattered less than the perception of it and the impact this had on his rivals.
He can look after himself and he went to one of the local schools so I think he put word around that I was one of his pals and they started leaving me alone after a year or so. Experience at a priceWilder, who recently signed a new deal until 2024 at Bramall Lane, realised from an early age that management would provide the natural next challenge in football once his playing days were over. However, acting on that and leading training sessions for his mates' Sunday league sides in his early 20s proved more hazardous than first anticipated.
WOODWORK! Zapata tees up Freuler who cracks a wonderful effort from the edge of the box against the crossbar. GOAL FOR VALENCIA! Lovely cross from the right from Torres and Gameiro powers in a header, to make it 6-3 on aggregate. GOAL FOR VALENCIA! Torres lofts the ball over the onrushing keeper from outside the box to score! Poor goalkeeping.
Viktoria is one of the better away teams in the league, and if they maintain that form at the home ground, squad would be far away from the lower part of the competition, and relegation zone. Host here is not doing too good here, and they are not unbeatable at their field. This may be match of big importance for the rivals, which could push one of them more to the secure part of the league.
Atletico Madrid is hosting Deportivo Alaves where I am backing Atletico to take a win by at least two goals, they have won mainly by one goal to nil since the restart but they are facing an awful Alaves here that they should be able to break down in offense and take an easy win
Dynamo Minsk 2 youth team leaders, the team looks good and have not lost at home, even there were no draws, and they only conceded 1 goal, but recently the team has slowed down, the last two matches have been difficult for them and the victory was hardly won only in the end of the match and thanks to luck, in general the team has a slight decline, they began to score less.
