However, according to the Daily Mirror, Barca director of football Eric Abidal remains a big fan of his fellow countryman. Paper Round’s view: Ndombele has not had the best start to life at Tottenham, but surely he will be given time to show his quality. Heung-min Son was also linked with a move away from Spurs after struggling to impress early on, now he is one of the first names on the team sheet, while Moussa Sissoko has raised his level after a tough start.

There is "a lot of common sense" in crowning Celtic as Scottish Premiership champions if the season cannot finish, says Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes. The SPFL is yet to decide the fate of the current campaign, which is on hold indefinitely. McInnes, whose side are fourth in the Scottish Premiership, says the league body faces "tough decisions". If there’s a way this can be finished, we need to not give up on that too soon," he told BBC Scotland.
Bremner scored in the 18th and 53rd minutes before a Gemma Bonner strike past the hour put the match beyond Everton, who got a late consolation through Georgia Stanway's own goal. After 12 games City are level on 30 points with Arsenal, who play their game in hand at Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
Salah cuts onto his left foot, his shot is blocked, the ball loops up into the air, Robertson comes flying in, heads for goal, but sees his effort come out off the crossbar. CHAAAANCE! Milner immediately into the thick of the action as he clips a cross into Wijnaldum, who heads across for Mane. The Senegalese forward elects for the overhead kick, but fires over! Had time to bring it down! 94’ - GOOOOOAALLLLL!!!! Liverpool 2-0 Atletico (agg: 2-1).
They have a seven-match winless run though will take credit for a better defensive display in the last game. The 0-0 draw with Fortuna is their only clean sheet in the last seven matches while they have conceded at least two in four of their last five matches. However, they have failed to score in just two of their last 10 league matches.
Caputo scored from close range in the 45th minute of the match, held behind closed doors due to the coronavirus, then went to the camera and held up a piece of paper with the message "Everything will be alright, stay at home". The game was being played shortly after Italy's National Olympic Committee (CONI) called for a halt to all sporting activity in the country -- apart from events in international competition -- until April 3 in a bid to combat the virus.
In our estimation, the women were due at least triple what our expired deal was worth in player compensation. It added: "The Federation has been working very hard to sell a false narrative to the public and even to members of Congress. They have been using this false narrative as a weapon against current and former members of the United States Women's National Team.

I can understand Jon [Moss, referee] getting it wrong but I don't know what VAR are looking at," he said. They have a screen they can go and look at it but they don't seem to be bothered. Fernandes is trying a double drag-back - his first touch is on the ball, his second touch is on Ezri Konsa's shin. His Manchester United counterpart, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, disagreed. I think it's a penalty. The boy sticks out his leg, Fernandes does a fantastic Zidane, Maradona turn and he lands on him," he said.

This fixture features No. 10 vs No. 13 in the league, Dalian Yifang vs Hebei CFFC. The hosts coming from a 3 - 0 home loss to Shanghai SIPG FC (no. 3 in the league) and their last home game a 2 - 0 win over Shenzhen FC. The visitors coming from a 2 - 1 home win to Guangzhou R&F F.C. (No. 15 in the league) and their last away game a 4 - 1 loss to Jiangsu Suning FC. The hosts should win this one as they played a higher table team than the visitors and didn't scored one goal but conceded multiple goals to lose the match then won their last home game to a team below the visitors facing a team coming from playing a team above themselves, scoring and conceding multiple goals to win the match then losing their last away game to a team above themselves and the hosts scoring and conceding so an over 2.5 is best to tip.
We have to take every measure possible to ensure that doesn't happen. But if it does, the party is over. With 11 matches still to be played, Barcelona lead Real Madrid by two points at the top of the standings, while the battle to avoid relegation is also finely balanced. La Liga's organising body has put the estimated cost of the season not finishing at 700 million euros ($772 million) and has vowed to finish the season, as has the national soccer federation.
They were in the final of both the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League. For the first time, the final was contested by two teams who were not champions the previous season; Arsenal and Kaiserslautern won the title in England and Germany in 1997-98, though United and Bayern had regained it by the time they went to Barcelona.
Den Haag lost 1-0 away at fellow strugglers Fortuna Sittard before the international break and could really use a win this weekend as they sit fourth from bottom in the Eredivisie table. Willem II provide the opposition this weekend and will be hoping to build upon their 2-1 win at home against PSV last time out with another three points on Saturday.

Freiburg have scored in all of their home games this season meaning they haven’t lost-to-nil in their own backyard, while Bayern have scored in all of their home and away games this season. 43% of Freiburg’s home games and 29% of Bayern’s away games this season have produced exactly 3 goals and Freiburg have conceded as many 1-goal margin defeats as defeats with a margin of 2 goals or more (2 defeats for each), suggesting there is a good chance that the hosts will only lose by one-goal on Wednesday.
I was a bit of a cocky striker," Curtis admits. If I wasn't playing and I didn't have a good reason why, I'd go somewhere else. Playing for Stourport Swifts and having to leave the field with a lower-back injury is the last thing Curtis remembers before the crash. A fractured coccyx showed up on the post-accident x-rays. In addition to his inexplicable fluency in French, another of the early phenomena Curtis experienced in the immediate aftermath of his accident was age regression.

They love their club, so they love Solskjaer. England's Euro 2020 warm-ups England have added a couple of fixtures to their Euro 2020 build-up in June - matches against Austria and Romania. Pep: City don't miss Kompany Video - Guardiola claims ‘extraordinary’ Man City players don’t miss Vincent Kompany00:47 11:30 - Back to a 'happy place' Mourinho is excited for his Old Trafford return on Wednesday.
It is an easy target for the authorities. We are contacting the club now and asking them to explain their position and reasoning. We will report back as soon as we hear back. Spirit of Shankly have been working tirelessly in our communities over the past couple of weeks delivering food bags to those most in need and being here for people.
Wilder's response that day was pretty brutal: "If he wants to play for the top teams, and if he wants to play for England, then he needs to do better, he needs to concentrate more. I am not going to put my arms around him, simply he needs to do better. When asked by BBC Sport on Tuesday if that moment helped Henderson grow into the player he is now, Wilder said: "To chuck one in against Liverpool live on TV and come on as he has says a lot about his character.
Gwangju will play the first match in K1 League after the victory in the second league of Korea. Gwangju won at home 12 of 18 matches and lost only once. Gwangju scored 36 goals and conceded only 12. Seongnam lost 10 of 17 matches on away in the previous season and they were one of the weakest teams on the trips. They scored 12 goals and conceded 23 goals. In this match I expect the hosts to win this match. Maybe it will not be an easy task for them to beat K1 League team but they look so strong
PSV are unbeaten in 11 matches against Twente. Twente have one win in seven away matches. Twente have two wins in 15 matches against PSV. Twente have no win in their last seven matches. PSV have seven wins in nine home league matches. The Dutch premier league, Eredivisie, enters round 20 this weekend and among the matches on the cards, PSV Eindhoven will host FC Twente on Sunday.
Champions League chasers Leverkusen were much fitter, having played five times since the Bundesliga restarted last month, and it showed. Saarbrucken may have fared better if they had been match fit or had a partisan home crowd of 6,800. But they can have no complaints at being well beaten in the game, with Daniel Batz - who saved six penalties in their cup run - frustrating Leverkusen on several occasions.
We know how good Sheffield United are on the road, and they give everyone a game - full-stop. The Blades have lost their past two away games, against Manchester City and Liverpool, but they were unlucky to end up empty-handed. Chris Wilder's side showed against the Hammers that they can get over the line without playing well, which is another reason I'm backing them to spring a bit of a surprise here.
Unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool made it a full year without losing in the top flight as Sheffield United were brushed aside at Anfield. A slice of good fortune enabled the Reds to take an early lead - George Baldock's slip allowing Andy Robertson to set up Mohamed Salah for a simple close-range finish in just the fourth minute. But there was nothing fortuitous about their win, which Sadio Mane sealed, finishing at the second attempt after being played in by Salah.
However, scoring will be hard for Villa as away from home United have been solid at the back in recent outings, keeping three clean sheets in their last five away games in all competitions. What's more, United don't take long to get out of the blocks as of late, leading at half-time and full-time in six of their last eight matches in all competitions.
A remarkably quick recovery from an ankle injury saw Davison come on as a substitute for the North London derby in November, which drew a record-breaking crowd, but the prospect of starting this Sunday against her former side is a tantalising one. I grew up at Arsenal so I have a lot of respect over there still but I think a derby has really boosted the game now – just look at the attendance we had at the derby," she added.
Under fire from fans, pundits and the media, Prosinecki briefly stepped down after a 4-2 defeat by Armenia in September, only to reverse his decision 48 hours later after he was asked by the NFSBIH to stay in charge. However, the Bosnian FA lost their patience after a 2-1 setback in Greece followed by a 3-0 home defeat by Italy left them with no chance of automatic qualification.

We have put something in place, I want to hear from the fans, all of them, about their experiences in Doha. About their experience of having a drink, going out to the stadium, we are here to listen and to improve," he added. Whatever the organisers settle on, Qataris are likely to be in for a culture shock when the biggest football festival in the world arrives in town.
Odds are fine with me for taking the over 2.5 goals could even try to take the over 3.5 goals bet here in this one as the 3 games played between them here in recent seasons ended all with over 3.5 goals a home win with 3-1 a draw high scoring draw 2-2 in the end and also a 3-2 win for the guests, while Port MTI FC finished 3rd in the league last season and started this new season by winning both home games with 4-1 in the end and are very good up-front but not that solid in defense.
Nantes have won their last two away games but generally have been quite poor on the road with just four victories in their ten matches on the road this season. Most of these wins came against extremely beatable opponents such as relegation contenders Amiens and Nîmes as well as the aforementioned 2-0 beating of fifth-tier Bayonne. Against even slightly better teams like Bordeaux (0-2) and Strasbourg (1-2) they have struggled so it will be a challenge here as they travel to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.
Monchengladbach have also been susceptible to conceding goals from counter-attacks this season. We expect Freiburg to receive plenty of counter-attacking opportunities in this game, as they generally like to play in a direct fashion, spending most of their time without the ball.
I thought it was the best thing to do to give back his outfit to make him happy. It is a good reminder of his son. It is very important for him and it is a good thing for him to have it with him. The best two managers in the world'Laporte joined City for a then club-record £57m in January 2018 from Spanish side Athletic Bilbao. During his time with the Basque club he played under now Championship-leading Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa - a manager whose influence on his career he has come to appreciate more over time.
So this is a chance to see how the tiny country can cope with hosting a tournament with fans coming from around the world. Qatar will host next year's Club World Cup too, with even Fifa describing these as "valuable test events" for 2022, "allowing for testing under similar climatic conditions". The temperature in Doha on most days in early-mid December last year reached 26C. Liverpool's two games will take place at the 48,000-seater Khalifa International Stadium - which is a 2022 World Cup venue.
Today will be played last 2 games from 2nd round at Estonian Meistriliiga which was restarted yesterday after so long Corona virus break. Rivals at the present match will be the teams of Tallinna Kalev And Trans Narva.
The Everton manager admitted that his language and/or behaviour on the field of play at the end of the fixture amounted to improper conduct and also accepted the standard penalty," the FA said in a statement on Thursday. The decision means Ancelotti will be available on the touchline for Everton's league trip to his former club Chelsea on Sunday.
Everton midfielder Andre Gomes will make his comeback in a practice match on Sunday - 105 days after suffering a fractured dislocation to his ankle. The 26-year-old will return in a behind-closed-doors game between Everton squad players as he steps up his rapid return to full fitness. If Gomes comes through unscathed he could be contention for a recall when Everton visit Arsenal on 23 February. Gomes sustained the injury against Tottenham on 3 November.
Monaco have won their last two clashes with Amiens and with them bang in form we're backing them to get the win here again. The visitors have been simply awful in recent weeks with their defence ripe for the picking. Monaco haven't been much better at the back but have been so impressive going forward and should be able to put Amiens to the sword here. Monaco have scored at least three goals in three of their last five home matches and with Amiens conceding eleven in their last three games we're backing this one to finish 3-1 to the home side with the hosts scoring at least 2.5 goals. Monaco have just two clean sheets in their last ten games and with Amiens scoring in six of their last seven away games we see an exciting clash coming in this one.
