Reaction to Chelsea's win over Watford plus all the rest of Saturday's Premier League actionChelsea regain mojo and top four placeManchester United's thumping victory against Bournemouth had seen Chelsea drop out of the top four places for the first time since 26 October. But this was the perfect response from Frank Lampard's side who were brimming with energy throughout and appeared galvanised by Wednesday's lacklustre defeat at West Ham.
Struggling Leganes had taken the lead in coach Javier Aguirre's first home game in charge thanks to a superb strike into the top corner from Morocco forward Youssef En-Nesyri in the 12th minute. The home side spurned two chances to extend their advantage before the break but Barca levelled in the 52nd minute when Luis Suarez glanced in Lionel Messi's free kick.

Lewandowski has been enjoying his best season and has scored 25 league goals in 23 league games, many of which kept Bayern in the title race.

MODRIC SPARKLES ONCE AGAIN TO LEAVE ODEGAARD IN SHADE Real Sociedad's game at Real Madrid offered Martin Odegaard a chance to make a triumphant return to the Bernabeu after reinventing himself on loan at the Basque side, having had a sour spell at Madrid when he signed for them aged 16. But the upstart Norwegian was upstaged by another blond midfielder as Luka Modric propelled Madrid to a 3-1 win and served up a reminder of why he broke Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's decade-long grip on the Ballon d'Or last year.

Real are second in La Liga, locked on 31 points with leaders Barcelona less than two weeks before visiting their arch rivals in the 'Clasico' at the Camp Nou on Dec. Real's next opponents Espanyol are second bottom of La Liga but Zidane said there was no chance of his side resting on their laurels. They don't deserve to be where they are in the table and if we don't take the game seriously we will run into problems, there's zero chance of us relaxing," he added.
However, seeing as though this match is taking place at St James Park, it is worth noting the strength of the hosts on home soil as 55% of their goals have been scored there. That being said, the Grecians are not exactly at the top of their game right now as they have just two wins in their last five league matches and, barring a 4-0 win over local rivals Plymouth, they have scored just twice in their last five games in the league.
I absolutely do think that it could be picked up over there [the UK]. Not only in England but in a lot of leagues over there. That's something I'm very hopeful for in the future.

So it’s nothing against Senna, Prost, they are they are my heroes, forever heroes. But actually, I think that level of Fernando, Lewis was amazing. That driver pairing is possibly the strongest there’s ever been. Ever. I mean, I remember looking at their data and thinking ‘these guys are from a different planet’.
Instead, his future destination will likely depend on who Chelsea seek to replace him with, thus sparking the football equivalent of musical chairs. ESTIMATED COST: £30m or loan Kepa ArrizabalagaGetty Images 26.

The 33-year-old French international was close to leaving Chelsea in the winter but no move materialised, and he is free to enter negotiations with clubs outside England. However, he may choose to stay in London and the Premier League after interest from Tottenham.

NHS staff or people like that. So we feel that we need some sort of testing to go back and to be safe and obviously not put our families at any sort of risk. I think everyone's sort of feeling similar with our group of players, that we want to get back. I think football is such an important part of our country, whether you like it or not, and people rely on it. And if we can give that positive boost to the country, then that would be fantastic.
There should be goals at either end of this contest and a 3-2 result looks like it represents good value. Perth Glory look full of goals in recent weeks and despite their poor form Adelaide United have been able to score in each of their games this season. This trend should continue but Perth Glory should come away from this game with all three points.

Mourinho cannot call in Kane or Son to change things - and I don't see him suddenly bringing in teenage striker Troy Parrot up front. Jose can't do that after saying he wasn't ready after he missed a penalty against Norwich. So, he is going to have to ask the same lads who played Leipzig to get him something out of the United game. He could tinker with a few things at the back but, realistically, has he got anyone to bring in who will make an overall impact on the way they are going to play? No.

MANCHESTER, England, March 12 (Reuters) - Liverpool's Champions League last-16 exit to Atletico Madrid was a bitter blow for Juergen Klopp's side, but with their first Premier League title in 30 years inching ever closer, a Merseyside derby should certainly refocus their minds. Liverpool could even secure the title in Monday's clash against Everton at Goodison Park in the unlikely event that Manchester City, the only team who can mathematically catch Klopp's team, were to lose at home to Burnley on Saturday.
Zaha agent trying to force Spurs move Wilfried Zaha has switched agent, and Pinar Zahavi is now trying to arrange a deal for a move to Tottenham. Crystal Palace have to consider any serious offers, and would be prepared to meet a 27-year-old asking price. Jose Mourinho needs someone to help pick up the slack following the injury to Harry Kane, but it appears that he can't meet the asking price.
Atalanta have won once in their last eight games, while they come into this game winless in seven. They lost 3-1 against Juventus at the weekend, shipping three goals in the final 16 minutes.

Welcome to live coverage of Thursday's football stories.
I believe that home team will win very easy this match and that will be probably similar like match from yesterday, when Dinamo Minsk is played excellent match, the best so far, and routine beat Torpedo 2-0 at home. So, BATE Borisov is at the start of new season lost first two matches in league, what was huge negative surprise for all their fans. Still, they are have very good team in all lines and I believe that they will show that to us today. They will probably win this match, so yeah, I will try that here, it is clear.
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 10 goals and four assists in Premier League London derbies. Chelsea v Burnley *Burnley have beaten Chelsea only once in the Premier League (D3 L7). Chelsea have lost their last two league home games. They have not lost three in a row since 1993. Chelsea's Christian Pulisic scored his first Premier League goal against Burnley earlier this season when he grabbed a hat-trick in a 4-2 win at Turf Moor but has only scored twice since.
There is no favorite in this duel between Aston Villa and Norwich City, both clubs are in relegation zone, and only Watford is behind them at standings. Aston Villa is in little better situation, since they will play at home ground, and they are three points above the opponent at standings, but I doubt that they will to play risky in this duel, since they collected four defeats in a row, so the worst result for them would be another defeat. Norwich City was defeated in last round against Wolves, 1-2, but round before they played a draw at away against Leicester, by my opinion, Norwich is able to stay undefeated in this duel.
David Moyes' side are currently three points clear of 18th place but their -13 goal difference is a very healthy one compared to the other three teams fighting for survival. That said, if the players have already switched off and suffer two very big thrashings against Manchester United and Aston Villa, there is a slight possibility of dragging them down into trouble. Very slight. Aston Villa (17th)West Ham (away)Recent form: LLLWDWVilla can guarantee survival by matching Watford's result - unless both of those teams lose and Bournemouth win.

I will bet on goals in this match from Spain Primera and I will surely enjoy in this duel, that is pretty clear. So, Barcelona is of course, favorite in this duel and after that 5-0 against Eibar, they are surely closer to win. Still, I believe that this will not be easy duel for them, because rival from Anoeta is in excellent form and they are playing very good this season. Few days ago, they are beat one more time Mirandes and secure place in big finale of Cup of Spain. Yes, over 3,25 is pretty ok for me.

The draw means Liverpool can now no longer beat the Premier League record for home wins in a season; they need to beat Chelsea in their last game at Anfield to equal the league high of 18. Liverpool remain in good shape, though, to achieve a highest-ever Premier League points haul; with four games left, they have 93, seven short of the record of 100 set by Manchester City in 2017-18. Burnley are now five games unbeaten since they returned from the Premier League's three-month shutdown by losing 5-0 at Manchester City.
English Premier League. Leicester City will play at home with team Southampton. Southampton have not lost in their last four league games , winning three and drawing one. They have won 2 -0 against Chelsea and 3- 1 against Aston Villa in their last two away league matches. Guests did 2 - 0 with team Huddersfield in the last match. Southampton have a great motivation to take a revenge after they lost with score 0 - 9 in the first leg. Last year team Southampton won here with score 2 -1 in Premier League game. I think for high odds it is a good bet .
The fight should become very fierce about avoiding relegation in this ending of the season as both these sides will also be part of the relegation group for sure but while Pribram has a record of 2-1-2 after the restart which lifted them up a bit, the hosts are just 1-1-4 after the break and have some big losses recently, lost 3-1 last round away at Ceske conceding 2 late goals and playing the 2nd half in just 10 men because they had a man sent-off, they also have a long injury list at this moment and do not really count on too many foreign players.

It seems as if racism is still a problem, certainly in this country. I've been one who has been very vocal in terms of saying we all have to keep doing what we need to do to eradicate it, because it's bang out of order. That's not me just supporting my own players, that's across the board. It's very disappointing that we're talking about situations like this in this day and age. It's embarrassing really.
