But sometimes they do, and Liverpool’s volte face on Monday should provide encouragement that if your club has messed up, you should tell them. Tell them loud, and tell them often. Because it just might work. Liverpool’s decision to not take up the option of using the large pot of money set aside by the government to pay members of their non-playing staff, as they had initially intended to do while topping up their employees’ pay, is a welcome one but we should be cautious about dishing out too much praise.
Liverpool are clearly the favorites here; they will head to this game seeking to extend their unbeaten league run and having a good run over Watford over the past few meetings, we expect them to flourish. Watford have not done so well this season but in their recent home matches, they have shown some determination to win. Going to this game, Watford hope to gain something to help in their survival push and we expect them to go for the kill. As for Liverpool, with the FA Cup game against Chelsea ahead of them and the Champions League return against Atletico, Jurgen Klopp may want to rest a few key players. They are very close to winning the league title and the manager may want to shift focus to the cup games. Still, we feel they will be stronger than Watford, just not the way it has been in the past few meetings. We will go with a 2-0 win for Liverpool.
Decent results from Lincoln lately and with 27 points they are 6 points away from the relegation zone at this moment while their last game was one of their best so far this season scoring no less than 5 goals at home against one of the promotion candidates in the league Ipswich and despite conceding 3 goals in a cracking game they won it with 5-3 in the end.
Rashford scored in United's 2-1 win over champions Manchester City at the weekend to take his tally to 10 league goals for the season, already equalling his best return in the top flight midway through the campaign. The 22-year-old England international has 13 goals in his last 14 games for club and country and Solskjaer said he saw similarities with Portuguese forward Ronaldo, who scored 118 times in 292 appearances for United from 2003-2009.

In English top-flight history, no side has ever gone on to win the title after being as many as 14 points behind the top side. DEFENSIVE CONCERNS The goals have continued to flow this season -- City remain leading scorers in the top flight -- and Pep Guardiola's side continue to play the same way, dominating possession.

Twente have failed to keep any clean sheets at home this season but have only failed to score in 22% of those matches while Groningen have only kept clean sheets in 22% of their away games, which is why we doubt either side will walk away from Saturday’s match without conceding at least one goal. Exactly three goals have been scored in 22% of Twente’s home games and Groningen’s away games, which suggests that there is a good chance of seeing three goals scored in Saturday’s clash.

At some point. One impact of the coronavirus crisis on football will be to expose which clubs have the resources to absorb a shutdown like this, and which do not, but instead rely on week-to-week income from matchdays. We’d expect more Premier League clubs to follow Palace’s lead; equally, we’d expect more clubs lower down the league to be placed in some frankly miserable positions.

I'm proud of the team, proud of Bobby Charlton and Billy Foulkes [Munich survivors] who have travelled the long road with me. John Aston embraces Matt Busby after United's historic 1968 European Cup Final win, as goal-scorer Sir Bobby Charlton looks on1969: After being knighted the previous year, Busby retires, becoming general manager of Manchester United. It's time to make way for a younger man, a tracksuited manager.
Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino, who guided Spurs to the Champions League final and four successive top-four finishes, in November, with the club struggling in 14th place. The former Chelsea and Manchester United coach began his reign impressively with four wins in his first five matches and the team scored 16 goals in the process. But after beating Brighton 2-1 on Boxing Day, they went four league matches without a win and in that period, top-scorer Harry Kane suffered a serious hamstring injury that required surgery and is likely to sideline him until April.

Meanwhile, whilst reaching the quarter-final of the Taca de Portugal ranks an improvement on Rio Ave's effort last season, it's highly likely to be as far as they go this year. Indeed, the visitors are big underdogs in Tuesday's game and are extremely unlikely to pull off what would be a huge upset.
THE ARGUMENTS https://shows. Ben Snowball made the case for Virgil van Dijk – claiming that "without him, none of Liverpool’s success would have been possible". Read his views here. Carrie Dunn made the case for Kevin De Bruyne – claiming that "it’s much more difficult to be world class in a team who are fallible and floundering".
City came out on top in six of their last seven fixtures and in seven of their last nine matches overall, with their narrow defeats to Man Utd and Wolves the only black marks on an otherwise unblemished copybook.
The Bavarians are eager to leave a fresh marker in the title race, having won their previous six league games to take the top of the Bundesliga last week. Leipzig, a point behind on 41, have managed only a point in their last two games and have now gone three games in all competitions without a win. Julian Nagelsmann's team played a formidable first half of the season, living up to expectations as the next big team in German football.
Celtic are flying and with a 12-point lead in the title race it feels like a huge task for Rangers to reel them in from here. Man of the match - Odsonne EdouardThe young French striker is a class act and seems to thrive alongside Griffiths. Celtic fans will be desperate to retain him beyond the summer as he has everything. His goal return is strong but it's Edouard's ability to be calm, to bring others into play that's equally impressive.
He’s great on the ball, always on the half turn and he’s the link that United really needed. They lacked that quality in midfield and since he came in he’s had that. He can feed the ball in to players, he’s got a great shot on him and he looks like a real leader as well. United had lacked that. Whether he can play in midfield in a two, that’s yet to be seen. He’s more like an Eric Cantona, a Teddy Sheringham - he can beat players as well.
AS Roma won their last Serie A meeting with Juventus but they are looking to win two consecutive matches against the Bianconeri in the Italian top-flight for the first time since 1995. Meanwhile, Juve have won 14 of their 18 Serie A games this term. With the other Turin side fresh from a win at this ground, we think that the champions can get one too. A 2-1 victory for Juve is our correct score pick here, having landed six times this term.
Getafe's success has been based on a tight unit of players, short on star names but packed with experience and desire. Their three top scorers Jamie Mata, Jorge Molina and Angel Rodriguez have a combined age of 100, while 37-year-old Molina is older than the club itself. But not everyone is enamoured by Bordalas' methods, not least Setien.
The Reds made very easy work of West Ham on Wednesday and I can see this game being a similar story. Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham 0-2 Liverpool: The title is not yet won - Jurgen Klopp I think the time has passed where you can look at Liverpool and think 'where are they going to slip up?' in terms of the title race. That ship has sailed, although Jurgen Klopp will keep saying differently until it is mathematically done.
I do not see clear favorites here. Sporting are third, while Braga are fifth. The difference is just two points. Braga are probably in better form, they are in series of four victories. Sporting Lisboa, meanwhile, have four victories on the last six matches in Primeira, They suffered two defeats, but they came from the best two clubs - Porto and Benfica. Both teams have some missing players. Braga will be without suspended João Novais and Vítor Tormena due to injury. Sporting will be missing Yannick Bolasie and Eduardo Henrique due to suspension, while Luiz Phellype is out injured.
Having worked under Pep Guardiola closely at City, the Spaniard would bring with him three years of rich experience to the Emirates, but this winning mentality he will have grown accustomed to is not so easily transferred. Arsenal are ninth in the Premier League and well-short of being capable to reach the top four, never mind competing for the title, and it would be a bold project for Arteta to take on should he choose to leave the comforts of City behind.

Adama Traore was a threat down Wolves' right side, but could not set up a goalWolves resilience impresses againThe draw meant that Wolves matched a top-flight unbeaten run last set by the club in 1973. More pleasing for Nuno will be the way his side reacted to going behind, especially as they played against Braga in Portugal in the Europa League on Thursday. This was their 27th game of the season and their resilience in combining both domestic and European form after a stuttering start to the campaign has been impressive.
Slutsk 2 started this season well with two convincing wins at home first defeating on round 1 Slavia Mozyr with 2-1 at home, and second game for them was one of the best they played this season winning with no less than 5-1 at home against Dynamo Brest 2. Since than they have lost 3 games in a row on the road, but for example last round they played really well away from home at the league leaders from Din. Minsk 2 and barely lost 2-1 the game and their attack was quite dangerous away at the best defense in the league.
Already a man down, the hosts started to face some pressure - Tim Krul reacted well to save Dwight McNeil's deflected free-kick, before Wood appeared to trip over his own feet as he tried to tap in from close range. Then came Drmic's reckless tackle on Pieters which drew another red card from Friend, again reviewed by VAR and the decision upheld. And Norwich's nightmare continued when Wood eventually gave Burnley the lead - Johann Gudmundsson slipped as he curled it in from the right and it bounced off Wood's shin as his overhead effort rolled into the bottom corner.
To be fair, we still remember that penalty against Colombia and THAT free-kick against Croatia, so we have no doubt Mr Simeone speaks the truth about Trippier's dead-ball abilities. Video - 'Trippier is the best we have' - Simeone on penalty miss00:49 09:55 - Ljungberg for the Arsenal job? Over to the Emirates Stadium and Freddie Ljungberg is getting some warm praise.

If we can get through Christmas and the chairman can give me four or five players to strengthen the squad, then we'll do extremely well," Hodgson said. We've talked about it for a long time so maybe this is the transfer window we'll get them. Palace next travel to Southampton on Saturday and their busy festive period ends with a game at struggling Norwich City four days later.

Teams can start rusty and be slow, which has been evident in the games since Wednesday, but in the main teams have picked up. There was nothing from Bournemouth and that will be a real worry.

Sadio Mane has scored 25 Premier League goals at Anfield since the start of last season - across the top five European leagues, the only two players with more at a specific venue are Barcelona's Lionel Messi (29 at the Nou Camp) and Paris St-Germain's Kylian Mbappe (27 at the Parc des Princes)Salah scored one, but he would have had more but for the combination of some excellent reflex saves from Dean Henderson and the woodwork - the Egyptian's chipped second-half cross floating past everyone and hitting the inside of the post.

They could now be played in the international window at the start of June, subject to a UEFA review, while all other UEFA competitions and matches are on hold. The new coronavirus has infected almost 180,000 people worldwide since emerging in China, and most of Europe is in lockdown in a desperate bid to stem its advance.
The 22-year-old son of French World Cup winner Lilian Thuram has so far netted five times and set up another five goals in his first Bundesliga season, with Gladbach boasting the second best goal tally having netted more than two goals per game. Added to the recipe is new coach Marco Rose's tactical nous that has given Gladbach a winning edge and growing confidence.
Not only will Manchester City see the Premier League trophy torn from their grasp, they could see a host of the records they set during their remarkable "Centurions" season of 2017-18 fall. When the going gets tough. Before football was suspended on 13 March, Arsenal, Manchester United and Sheffield United were among the form sides in the division, gradually turning up the heat on some of the teams above them.
Never again will we complain about the dull goalless draw. We may report it as such but it will no longer be a chore. And even VAR, the cause of so much consternation and comment, may be just be greeted like an old friend rather than a needless, inconvenient intruder on the old order. Absence will have made the heart grow fonder, even for the things we did not care for before, including the inevitable "what game are you watching?" messages after even the most innocuous of observations.
The squad has underachieved this term but possesses the quality to be well clear of a relegation struggle and now needs to show it on a consistent basis.

In January, they were interested in Valencia forward Rodrigo - but would not pay the fee of almost £50m the club wanted - as well as RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner and Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They made some mistakes in planning," said European football expert Mina Rzouki on BBC Radio 5 Live. They sold Perez and Ruiz. They knew Suarez's injury would take long. Why can they change their bad management and Leganes can do nothing?"Barca even have two senior international forwards in the B team, which plays in Spain's third tier.
In terms of the result, we're giving our tentative vote to the draw. Eibar are impossible to fancy for the win based on recent form, yet Granada are equally unappealing after so many defeats since the beginning of November. Based on our fancy for Granada to score and the fact that Eibar have averaged just under one goal per game this season, 1-1 is our correct score pick.
The club's legal team argued that what it viewed as leaks from UEFA to the media about the investigation showed "UEFA has systematically breached, and continues to breach, its duty of confidence" in the case. It also called for UEFA to conduct an inquiry into the alleged leaks. Although CAS rejected that appeal saying "internal remedies" had not been exhausted, it did express concern in its written judgment about the leaks.
This should be interesting game today in second league level in Leumit league in Israel. Two teams who are fighting against relegation meet each other today. Afula who is visitor so far collect just 9 points from 17 rounds while Ahi Nazareth had 14 points so far collected. It is very important game for both teams and I strongly believe that both teams will go for a win tonight.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "That was special, that touched my heart. I didn't expect that. You could see it was planned. It was magnificent. Credit to both sets of players and staff. Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright said Premier League players wearing 'Black Lives Matter' on their shirts shows the league wants to be on the right side of history. What the Premier League have done, is to give them the power," said Wright, who was sent racist abuse on social media last month.
They’ve done it for three years, they are the best in this competition and facing them is a huge challenge. Guardiola was once the master of the Champions League, lifting the trophy with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011 in his fledgling years as a coach. But the Catalan has not won it since, losing three semi-finals with Bayern Munich and never getting past the last eight in three attempts with City, although he has amassed eight league titles across Spain, Germany and England.
This excellent start to the campaign does leave them in a relatively comfortable position despite their recent troubles. Boavista lie 9th in the Primeira Liga table, seven points above the drop zone and six adrift of an unlikely top four spot.
