Woodward in the spotlightThere is distrust amongst United's support about the role Woodward plays in recruitment. The failure to appoint a director of football, which the club said was on the horizon 18 months ago, is being laid at his door. Woodward was not at Old Trafford on Wednesday but he is bound to be uneasy at the criticism being levelled at him and has employed an external public relations consultant to improve the way the club is viewed.
And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
Disregarded by Frank Lampard, the most expensive goalkeeper in history will be on the market this summer. Given no one will put £71m on the table, Chelsea may loan him out to see if he prospers elsewhere. At 25, he still remains a solid bet and a number of clubs should be interested but. WHO IS INTERESTED? .
This should be very interesting match between this two sides. I don't know why but all I can see here is one very boring match where eventually only one accident goal can decide the winner. Both teams are going to fight for that play off spot. Girona so far are at the 5th position with 49 pts while Elche is at the 7th place with only 2 points less than Girona. However both teams are having some problems lately at the back and I think that they will focus more on not conceding any goal rather they scoring it. I give a little advantage to Girona because of the quality but Elche are very solid home team this season.
Nketiah is between two defenders and gets a bit fortunate as the ball bounces kindly and falls for him to finish from close range. KEY STATS Arsenal have gone 11 games without defeat away from home in all competitions (W4 D7), since a 0-2 loss at Leicester in Unai Emery’s final away game in charge of the club – their longest unbeaten run on the road since March to December 2016 (15 matches).
Revenue in football now is very important. Everton want their new stadium so they can improve that and be more competitive. For me, it could be good to be here when the new stadium will be open. Zlatan on the agenda?Ancelotti's status within the game means he will be linked with players previously felt to be beyond Everton. The latest is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer outfit LA Galaxy and whose proposed move to AC Milan has stalled.
What looked to be a highly promising campaign has unravelled with a run of only one win in their last five games, in which Real have dropped points against Levante and Celta Vigo and been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Real Sociedad. Their hopes of remaining in the Champions League are hanging by a thread after Wednesday's last-16 first leg against Manchester City in which they conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 at home.
Utah have won 20 out of 29 home games. Washington have lost 21 of their 28 away fixtures. Washington are the worst defensive side in the NBA. Utah Jazz are third in the northwest division of the NBA Western Conference. They need to keep getting the wins and will be confident of doing just that when hosting the Washington Wizards.
Just a big, broad smile. He was so unassuming and quiet. Didn't speak much English, but a lovely, really nice guy," added Burchill. Moravcik's two goals inspired a 5-1 victory. From that moment everyone realised Celtic had a player on their hands. With eight minutes left, he would make way for Burchill to make his own mark, scoring the fifth from a Henrik Larsson assist. I had just had my debut a couple of weeks previously," he recalls.
Assisted by Enda Stevens. Their 22nd successive top-flight win at home, breaking the English record set by Bill Shankly's side in 1972, was sealed by goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane after Callum Wilson had given Bournemouth a shock lead. It restored their 25-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table, and three more wins are all that are now required to rubber-stamp Liverpool's first title for 30 years.
Premier League facing decisive week over resumptionWhile McAnuff is unsure whether he will play again this season - Orient are 17th in League Two - the 38-year-old believes some top-flight players will share his concerns as the Premier League examines how to resume. Clearly football's being in the focus because of Project Restart and all of that talk," added McAnuff. Of course the players are going to be at risk, but if they are in households where they have got grandparents or aunties and uncles, their parents, brothers and sisters, who may be more susceptible to critical illness or even high risk of death, then clearly that is going to be a factor in these guys' decisions.

VAR CONTROVERSY Not for the first time in the league, several VAR interventions overshadowed the action, none more so than at Norwich where the hosts thought they had gone 2-0 up against Tottenham, only for Teemu Pukki's effort to be ruled out for an offside decision not detectable by the naked eye. Earlier, Brighton & Hove Albion's Dan Burn had a goal wiped out by VAR, although it was not costly as his side beat Bournemouth 2-0 to ease away from trouble.
Brighton are firmly the underdogs here; they have a very poor away record and defensively, they are among the poorest sides in the season. On the flipside, they face a team with a fine home record and also great defensively, though not well endowed in attack. We are backing Sheffield for another slim win here and a 1-0 pick on the correct score scale would do.
With the troubles both of these sides have shown in finding the back of the net, it should come as no surprise to learn that we do not expect there to be a lot between these two sides. With just nine goals scored in total at the Pirelli in the league this season, it is a venue which is well used to low scoring matches, and given that the visitors have scored an average of just 1.4 goals per game on the road, backing there to be less than 2.5 goals scored looks to be a pretty safe bet.
Hemel Hempstead and Weymouth will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Hemel Hempstead this season have the following results: 10W, 6D and 11L. Meanwhile Weymouth have 13W, 8D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Marcos Llorente put Atletico ahead after 15 minutes when he stabbed home from close range, with Gabriel Paulista equalising five minutes before the break. Atletico went back in front three minutes later when Thomas Partey smashed home a low drive from distance but Valencia's Geoffrey Kondogbia bundled the ball past goalkeeper Jan Oblak in the 59th minute to level the scores again.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout this Saturday and we have predicted a final score of 2-1. The hosts are in poor form and have struggled for the most part this season, and are still to win at home in the Primeira Liga. Famalicao, on the other hand, have adapted excellently to life in the top flight and are currently the nearest challengers to Benfica and Porto for the league title thanks to them losing just once in the league this season, so confidence is high within the visitors camp.
He wasn't even born when Everton last won at Anfield in September 1999. He was just 20 months old when Rooney ended Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten streak with a last-minute curling effort that beat David Seaman before crashing in off the underside of the crossbar in 2002. Rooney came off the bench to score his first goal in the top flight against Arsenal in October 2002Rooney is still playing, and to good effect according to his new manager, but Jones is the new kid on the block on Merseyside, sending Jurgen Klopp's men into Monday's fourth-round draw with a curling effort that left England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford flapping at thin air.

In the Champions League, Manchester City are 2-1 up after the away leg of their tie with Real Madrid. Barcelona drew 1-1 at Napoli, while Juventus are 1-0 down after their trip to Lyon. In the Europa League, Wolves drew 1-1 at Olympiakos in the first leg of their last-16 tie, while Manchester United beat LASK 5-0 in Austria. Two Europa League ties, both involving clubs from Spain and Italy, are yet to play, although it is felt these could be played as one-off ties.

He believes banning large-scale gatherings, as many cities have done in China, has had a positive effect on containing the virus. Inter were due to play away to Juventus on Sunday, but the game was postponed on the Saturday. They were then offered the chance to play 24 hours later on Monday - with fans being allowed at the game in Juve's Allianz Stadium - a suggestion which was emphatically rejected by Zhang.
Michael O'Neill has permanently left his role as Northern Ireland manager after eight years in charge. O'Neill was set to lead Northern Ireland into March's postponed Euros qualifier with Bosnia-Herzegovina. However with Uefa proposing to reschedule the game in the autumn, the 50-year-old will now solely focus on his job as Stoke City manager. I feel it is only fair that now is the right time for me to step aside," said O'Neill.
As our last act of service to the club, we recommend that elections are called as soon as circumstances permit so that the club can be managed in the best way possible and deal with the important challenges of the immediate future. In response to the resignations, Barca said they have come about "due to a reorganisation of the board put forward by Bartomeu and which will be completed in the next few days".

There was a long wait as VAR Graham Scott consulted the footage and the goal was ruled out. It was another blow for Leicester and Rodgers, who felt his side were denied a penalty for handball against Manchester City last week. We are disappointed with our goal being ruled out," Rodgers said. We felt it was very, very harsh. It was unintentional but it hits their player's arm and drops on to Kelechi's.
Barcelona have 10 wins in 12 home matches. They are unbeaten in their last eight La Liga matches, winning five of those, but they have just two clean sheets in their last 10 La Liga matches. At home, Barcelona are unbeaten in the nine league matches they have played this season, having won eight of those.
The first game between these two last season ended in just a 1-1 draw in the end but the next two games ended with Taichung clearly winning them with 3-0 in the end one at home and their last game of the season played away from home at the guests as well a game in which they took the lead 3-0 by the 35th minute of the game and that was the way the game ended. And the guests unless for their games against lower ranked clubs away from home they have lost most of their games last season by 3 or more goals difference.
An opportunity, therefore, to look back on some of the highs and lows experienced by Northern Ireland players on cup final day over the last 40 years. Huge upset for Jennings and co As Northern Ireland contingents in FA Cup finals go, Arsenal's squad in the 1980 showpiece against West Ham had one of the biggest. Captained by full-back Pat Rice and with Pat Jennings in goal, the Gunners also had Sammy Nelson on the bench in a squad managed by former club skipper Terry Neill.
Julian Brandt (Borussia Dortmund) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the top right corner. Assisted by Thorgan Hazard. Posted at 49' Attempt blocked. Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Assisted by Jadon Sancho. Manchester City threw away the chance of a win in a dramatic climax at Etihad Stadium, while bottom-of-the-table Norwich battled for a much-needed victory over strugglers Bournemouth.
On Friday evening it continues in Germany with football & the 17th match day of the 3rd league; the second team of Bayern Munich receives Carl Zeiss Jena, that means the 11th receives the current 12th and I have already set 10 units to over 30 goals here, because as mentioned in my previous tip, here I go from a relatively open football game. I think with a relatively early goal the game will open and further hits could follow quickly. The odds on the over are a little too high. Good luck to all! Over 3 goals is expected here in this match.

Rangers have conceded an average of 0.43 goals away from home this season and have kept clean sheets in 57% of their games on the road in Scotland. Feyenoord have, however, only failed to score in 14% of their home games in the Eredivisie and that means there is a chance the hosts will score on Thursday and that is why we have gone with a double chance bet instead of backing an outright draw between the pair. Rangers have looked at their worst on the road in the Europa League this season compared to any other competition but are playing well enough to claim a point in Rotterdam due to that excellent defensive record of late which has produced four clean sheets in its last five outings.
Players and staff would be present in the enclosure, but no fans or reporters would be allowed, according to La Repubblica. Wednesday's Warm-Up "If sacking Mauricio Pochettino and furloughing an entire workforce didn’t ruffle you, surely pictures of Tottenham players sneaking in some training will tip you over the edge.
It was four years ago, but even so this is not a great look for him. I would not take the [Tottenham] job because I love Chelsea supporters too much. Now we all know Mourinho likes to talk and after nearly a year on the sidelines, some of his comments about Tottenham from the comfort of a pundit's chair are coming home to roost.
One steeper than any side has previously managed to scale. Yes, no team in the history of the English top flight has ever gone on to win the title after slipping as far as 14 points behind the league leaders at the end of a day's play. That jaw-dropping deficit means Guardiola's side are currently as close to being caught by 13th-placed Burnley as they are to reeling in Klopp's runaway Reds. And for Guardiola, a total of 32 points after the first 16 matches represents the Spaniard's worst points return of any top-flight season.
Well, hosts for me are big favorite here. They are a solid team with a lot individual quality players that can make some differences. They did well at the preparations, and after the COVID break they won against ODD and lost from Stromsgodset 1-0 but all in all very good performances.Mjondalen on the other hand last season somehow survived mostly thanks to Lillestrom who drowned at that last round but this season for sure they are among the main candidates for relegation once more. Today they will also have few key absences including Diomande because of achilles tendon injury which will be a big blow for the team for sure.
VAR is being used to have a look at this one, but the officials have decided the goal should stand. GOAL! Barcelona 3-0 Leganes: That should be Barcelona's place in the Copa del Rey quarter finals secured, with Messi adding his name to the score sheet. However, it was slightly fortunate as Messi's shot comes off Siovas and trickles into the back of the Leganes net.
Like so many, Neil Lennon took a minute to applaud the NHS workers on Thursday evening, standing at the window of his Glasgow flat and clapping appreciatively as others around him clapped and banged their pots and pans in acknowledgment of these incredible people. He found it emotional and he wouldn't have been alone in that either. The word I keep hearing on the news, from leaders of countries and leaders of sports associations, is unprecedented," he says.

Solskjaer introduced Mason Greenwood at half-time, but before he had the chance to do anything, Burnley went further ahead, Jay Rodriguez playing a wall-pass off Wood and beating Maguire to the return before lashing a brilliant, rising finish past De Gea and in off the bar. Burnley had led by two goals on their last two visits to Old Trafford only for United to come roaring back, but there was no such danger tonight.
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez was ruled out for four months in early January with a knee injury, before Dembele suffered a serious hamstring tear on his return to training in February.
