Mexican side Monterrey may be huge underdogs for tomorrow's Club World Cup semi-final against Liverpool in Qatar, but coach Antonio Mohamed was in bullish mood at this morning's pre-match press conference. We have full respect to Liverpool, one of the best sides in the world," he said. But we should be concerned with ourselves.
The side have still only averaged a goal a game in their last four games though, a sum that they really need to improve on in order to challenge this season. Melbourne have only scored two or more twice this season but have conceded at the same rate on five separate occasions, both figures that have prevented them from progressing this season, leaving them 14 points behind Sydney FC in first place.

Since the Premier League was suspended, the news cycle has been dominated by talk of bail-outs, pay-cuts and potential lawsuits, as the professional game has struggled with the greatest financial threat it has faced in peacetime. This piece from Matt Slater of The Athletic fame (£) on the "terrible" state of Premier League finances is worth getting hold of.
Manchester City would prefer to let winger Leroy Sane enter the final year of his contract rather than let him leave cheaply for Bayern Munich. Bayern have been interested in Sane for 12 months, with the player understood to be keen to return to Germany. Manager Pep Guardiola sees the 24-year-old as a key part of his squad, though. While it is not out of the question City would sell if the price was right, speculation regarding a £35m bid from Bayern is understood to be wrong.
Meanwhile, Alonso's double on Saturday brought about the first Premier League draw between the Cherries and Chelsea in what was their 10th meeting. That run, however, is not quite Everton v Fulham, which saw 18 consecutive meetings without a draw between 2001 and 2010 - while Manchester United against Wigan stands at 16 drawless top-flight fixtures. One to keep an eye on. Goal-shy Magpies relying on shutoutsFinally, Alonso's three goals in two league games are as many as Newcastle have managed since 18 January.
Nigeria and Barcelona forward Asisat Oshoala was named the African Women's Player of the Year ahead of Valerenga and Cameroon forward Ajara Nchout and Beijing BG Phoenix and South Africa forward Thembi Kgatlana.

He looked like a tired man. He has had time off and now he looks really refreshed. He is saying all the right things and protecting his players. He is talking in the way that made people fall in love with him in his first spell in the Premier League. He is not the rash manager we saw at Manchester United. Players can be fragile and you have to manage them really well. That was the thing people noticed about him and was his biggest strength at Chelsea.

It made no sense. The other thing is the mentality. The loads we put on the players are very high. School, football, national teams. This can all take 70 or 80 hours a week. These boys have to be grown-up, focused and disciplined at a very young age. Our aim is to educate players from Dortmund and the surrounding area. But if we find players from abroad with potential, we will take the risk to try and sign them.

Newcastle's last three wins over Manchester United all ended 1-0, including October's reverse fixture. Manchester UnitedManchester United's defeat at Watford on Sunday was their first loss in seven league matches (W3, D3). The Red Devils are on a Premier League club record run of 13 matches without a clean sheet. They have won just one of their last 17 league matches when they've enjoyed more possession than their opponents (D8, L8).
If I was not absolutely convinced that this is necessary for the future sustainability of our business, I would not be asking our employees to face these cuts. The Tynecastle club, who have one of the league's biggest budgets outside the Old Firm, are currently four points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership with eight games to play. Budge previously said the club would consider legal advice should they be relegated without the season being completed.

Madrid optimistic on Hazard injury Eden Hazard was forced off the field with injury during Tuesday's draw with PSG but initial reports in Spain suggest that he has avoided any fractures in his ankle.
Incheon united started this season very bad with 2 draws and a defeat but the thing for huge worry is that they still did not scored a goal in this season and I Think it is time for that to change tomorrow and I surely think just one goal is not going to be enough for Incheon to get the win cause on the other side Pohang is better team then them and big favorite for the win tomorrow,the odd on Pohang is similar to this odd but for me it is much safer to go with both teams to score
Toulouse created their most chances in a single game this season when they beat Lille 2-1 in Kombouaré's opening game but in the three matches since they have created the fifth least opportunities of any team in Ligue 1. They've also conceded the second most chances and leaked nine goals in that time.
However, Solskjaer’s overall point, that doing business in the winter because teams do not want to sell, is correct. Read the full story Dortmund chase Spurs youngster Borussia Dortmund are tracking Tottenham youngster Troy Parrott, reports the Sunday Express. The German side are tracking the 17-year-old Ireland international, but they aren’t the only ones.
Sydney FC are current league leaders a long distance from the rest of the pack right now, with some interesting signings this summer like striker Barbarouses or winger Baumjohann they have been very impressive so far this start of the season scoring goals with ease and winning most of the games played by them home or away from home for example a couple of weeks ago they beat Newcastle Jets very easy with no less than 4-1 at home.
Kaizer Chiefs will be very confident going to this game, after their win over Orlando Pirates. They also have a great run over AmaZulu, and go to this game with a good run at home. They will however be hoping to do better in attack than in the last five matches. Fortunately, AmaZulu have not been so good in front of goal, and have struggled away from home. With the confidence drawn from their win in the Soweto Derby, and their chase for the title, we expect Chiefs to be more explorative going forward. We are backing Chiefs for a 2-0 win.
It seems that the market continues to price Bolton on their early season form/league position, despite the recent improvements made by The Trotters. Against a Burton side that has been poor in recent away games, the hosts are well worth supporting in the form of 'Bolton Draw No Bet'. Bolton have lot just one of their last five and have delivered some study performances against good sides. Moreover, they're unbeaten in five at home and have won three of those five. A repeat of any of those recent efforts could easily be enough to see off The Brewers, who're finding goals increasingly hard to come by away from home.
Their attacking players are starting to show what they can do with Diego Castro and, in particular, Bruno Fornaroli being the difference makers that they’ve been for years in the league. Another positive result here would move them to third as they look to close down both Melbourne City and Sydney FC.
Obviously the Euros aren’t an immediate factor, but Grealish’s form had suggested he would’ve been a shoo-in for the squad had it been required: will Southgate remember this when the time does come? UEFA to chat about what the hell is going to happen Perhaps it’s the despair of spending three weeks inside talking, but you do wonder if there’s any point in really discussing when football is going to come back at the moment.
Norwich are 19th on 12 points and lost 2-1 to Wolves last time out despite being ahead at half-time. This game will go a long way in seeing whether or not Villa are relegation candidates which I believe they are. Tyrone Mings has been absent this last fortnight and now John McGinn looks set for a lengthy spell on the side-line and unlike Southampton above them and Norwich just behind them Villa have been struggling to score goals.
While Derby have ambitions, Fulham are on the right track to land their goals. They want promotion by any means, with the Cottagers up to fourth after their Friday night win. The hosts are hoping to cut a five-point gap to the top two this week, with automatic promotion clearly attainable for this talented Fulham side.
Bilbao's draw against Los Blancos was definitely a step in the right direction in terms of their efforts on the road, but they will do well to take anything from this Matchday 19 contest against a Sevilla side in fine form overall.
Three Fiorentina players and three members of the club's support staff have tested positive for coronavirus. Serie A clubs have been given permission by the Italian government to resume training, although players can only train individually. The players and staff have been isolated and the rest of the group will have medical and fitness tests. A Torino player also tested positive for the virus on Wednesday and was placed in quarantine.
We can still analyse and prepare for games. The problem for Potter is that he has no idea when those games will happen. In the meantime, he fills his days the best way he can. On Thursday, that involved a 90-minute news conference with journalists scattered all over the country, all of whom, like Potter, were at home. After that, he was going to speak with fans who have been identified as needing emotional support before offering his to the NHS, who he has the utmost admiration for.

Against Sheffield United? A tap-in from inside the six-yard box. Against Chelsea? A run from inside his own half – but only made possible after a hopeless second touch wasn't pounced upon by a slipping N'Golo Kante. On the flip side, he scored a screamer against Nottingham Forest to announce himself to Arsenal fans and struck twice in that crazy 5-5 thriller with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, goals that helped him become a first-team regular at the Emirates.
Arsenal have missed out on Europe's elite club competition for three consecutive seasons and the Spaniard added that a fourth could also have a big financial impact. It's a no-brainer," Arteta told reporters when asked if it was easier to sign players with Champions League qualification secured. Every player in the world wants to play Champions League and if you talk about having this option on the table, players are much more open to join or renew their contract.

Celtic ruthless and hungryIt was a monumental night for Neil Lennon and his side. While Rangers continued to stutter through poor post-winter break form, they mercilessly tore Hearts apart. The win all but puts an end to the title race, with the free-scoring nature of Celtic's recent victories effectively adding another point to the massive gap. If the Parkhead side had the striking partnership of Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard from the outset of the season, the title may have been over long ago.
The attempt to damage the Club's reputation is organised and clear," it said. As well as questioning the nature of the documents, City have been unhappy at the way in which UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) conducted the investigation. In a statement on Friday, the club referred to the "flawed and consistently leaked UEFA process".
I did have some contact with several Italian clubs, but for one reason or another, it was not possible to work here. I am open to everything and keep a very close eye on Serie A. Paper Round’s view: Emery’s direct football would transfer perfectly well to Serie A, though the same was expected when he moved to Arsenal.
Whilst they did come into the season as one of the favourites to lift the Championship title, Dundee United's work so far this campaign is still very impressive. After 18 matches, United are 13 points clear at the top and having won 15 of said outings, they are proving close to unstoppable in the second tier.
Real Madrid stars urge fans to stay at home amidst coronavirus pandemic EFL: No decisions made yet about the future Mount defies self-isolation protocol to play in public park Germany's top two divisions did not play this weekend after matches were suspended due to the outbreak of the virus and Seifert said any decision on the season would be taken in the week of March 30.
The 28-year-old free agent left Blackburn Rovers at the end of his contract in the close season and started training with the Blades last month amid reported interest from a number of teams including Parma and AS Roma. It'll be a short team deal until the end of the season with the option of extending," Wilder told a news conference ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third round clash with National League (fifth tier) side AFC Fylde.
Just back from a thigh injury, the Argentine was only playing at Molineux because Gabriel Jesus had been ruled out through illness. But when Ederson raced out of his penalty area and clumsily brought Jota down, Aguero was the man substituted to allow second-choice keeper Claudio Bravo to come on. Aguero looked less than impressed, although he got himself off the pitch far quicker than Ederson. The Brazilian keeper pleaded his case to referee Martin Atkinson, waited for VAR confirmation that the decision was correct, and then hung around some more before eventually heading down the tunnel.
Everton's next game is the derby at Anfield against Liverpool on WednesdayEverton do not face an easy task in lining up a successor so they deserve a measure of understanding here but there is no escaping the impression they are keeping the current manager because they are not sure what to do next. Everton's decision-makers met immediately after the home loss to Norwich City and the decision made was to let the besieged Silva carry on.
SEMEDO. So close to a third goal in the space of just seven minutes! Semedo burst down the right side, showed great feet inside the box and then thundered an effort off the top of the bar! 55’ Levante should have scored! That was a golden opportunity for the away side to get back into this one. Morales bursts into the box, his effort is saved by Ter Stegen and Rochina blasts over the bar! What a chance! 88’ Another HUGE chance! Levante have had no shortage of opportunities in this second half.
The thing that stood out to me every time I watched Mason was his aggression," Winzar tells BBC Sport. His determination is second to none. Fantastic attitude. He's the best I've seen in all the years I've done it," adds Winzar, now in his 15th year scouting youth football in the south-east for Chelsea. I've seen lots and lots of good players and Mason is the best. When Winzar, who knew Tony Mount from the local non-league scene, approached the youngster's father, however, he was met with caution.

Atalanta have registered good results in the recent matches after struggling for a better part of the season so far and a big advantage for them is the fact that they are scoring a lot. They are however not as strong in defence. On the flipside, Milan are not scoring a lot but they are considerably strong in defence. While Atalanta have been scoring a lot, Milan’s scoring trend is more consistent; they have scored in 12 of the last 15 matches. Atalanta have conceded the most among the top 10 teams and by their run we believe they will concede here too. Milan have five clean sheets in the last 15 matches and we feel they will be opened up here as well. Based on their attack/defence attributes we feel these sides cancel out and just like it has been in five of the last eight meetings, we expect this to end in a draw.
Posted at 55' Daniel Wass (Valencia) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Posted at 53' Foul by Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid). Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to see some leadership on the pitch from Paul Pogba. The club record signing, 27, has made just two appearances since September because of a fractured foot.
While the club is keen to confirm a new permanent manager as soon as possible, the only important duty is that the right appointment is made. While our process continues, Duncan Ferguson will remain as caretaker manager and will take charge of the side for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester City.
