With no Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique or Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Luis Suarez on the bench, Antonio Conte's side should have been good enough but the young Barcelona side were typically confident in possession and took the lead midway through the first half. Antoine Griezmann's ball into the box for Arturo Vidal was nudged by Diego Godin into the path of Carles Perez who coolly slotted the ball home.
Gary Dicker: Another club captain who could be on his way out is the Kilmarnock midfielder. Although 33, the Irishman hasn't missed a game this season and has been a crucial element of the squad both on and off the pitch at Rugby Park. Stephen McGinn: A knee injury in September has limited his playing time this season, with just 12 appearances for Jim Goodwin's St Mirren side. However, when he has played, he's continued to be a leader in midfield and could yet play a major role in the club's hopes of avoiding relegation and pushing up the division.
Admittedly the gap is eight points, but Leicester are absolutely on the kind of form that, were Liverpool not at a historically great level right now, could win them the title. No one is laughing this time at statements of that nature. We know it’s been done before by this team. And the way they scored a late, late winner in a 2-1 win over Everton, only confirmed after a VAR review rejected the linesman’s decision that Kelechi Iheanacho was offside, certainly smacked of a team chasing English football’s biggest prize.
Welling and Hungerford will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Welling this season have the following results: 6W, 5D and 14L. Meanwhile Hungerford have 5W, 3D and 17L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.

You are constantly sprinting. It makes you wonder how unfit Arsenal were under former boss Unai Emery? That's a worry. And while you can see that their fitness levels have dramatically improved since Arteta came in last month, to be able to play the way he wants, they will need time to get even fitter. The two sides meet again at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, when I'll be doing co-commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, and it will be interesting to see their progress.
There has never been such a great player who was also such a great manager. In that he stands utterly unique. For almost three decades he was the presiding genius of Barcelona and thus, as their pre-eminence has burgeoned, of football itself. Winning,” Cruyff once said, “is an important thing, but to have your own style, to have people copy you, to admire you, that is the greatest gift.
One look at the league shows just where the three points should be heading in this fixture, but given that they have only won two of their last eight league matches, they are not exactly a reliable punt on the win-draw-win market. However, their goalscoring record is impressive and the fact that they average 2.15 goals per game as well as scoring in all of their home matches this season is reason to be hopeful that they will have a successful afternoon. This, combined with the fact that their visitors are so poor on the road, suggests to us that backing Bromley to score over 1.5 team goals is the way to go.
The visitors then missed several gilt-edged chances and were punished in the dying minutes as Guirassy levelled with a fine finish from inside the penalty area after he was put through by substitute Quentin Cornette. The draw put leaders PSG 13 points clear at the top of the table. Second-placed Olympique Marseille visit fourth-placed Lille on Sunday while Stade Reims are at home to third-placed Rennes.
Lukashenko is planting trees during the cleanup, football is in full swing and everything seems to be not so bad, well, according to the president, of course. Minsk “Dynamo” meets “Slutsk” at the home stadium in the seventh round. Dynamo feels just fine and shows quality football from tour to tour. “Slutsk” - is rather weak and certainly weaker than “Dynamo”. Most likely, the guests will not be able to score, but to win for sure. “Dynamo” over the past five matches has not been defeated. The team has four victories and one draw match. “Slutsk” over the past five matches won only once, tied twice and lost twice. Dynamo scores a lot and in this match is likely to win, but I do not think that with a big score.

Wycombe have scored two goals in each of their last three matches and Doncaster have conceded two or more goals in three of their last six matches, but have only failed to score in one of those games, which is why we believe a 2-1 final scoreline in favour of the hosts makes the most sense this weekend.

Don’t put extra pressure on Rashford Ole…oh for f… Marcus Rashford is doing pretty well at the moment, isn’t he? The goals are flowing, the performances impressive, and it’s easy to forget that despite being around for a few years, he’s still only 22 and in theory only learning the game.
Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. This is a my second bet for today and I will be very happy if my bet win. This is a game for Spain Copa del Ray between Granada and Athletic Bilbao. First game from this semi finals finish with win for Bilbao with just one goal. I am sure they will be very motivated to defend this goal and get ticket for final with Real Sociedad. Granada play very nice this season in the Primera Division but now I will think they not have power to take a win. For me this game is draw.
Asked whether he would have benefitted had such a role existed during his time in the spotlight, Glass said: "It was a very different time and had I had someone to support me and help me understand what was going on then definitely, it could've gone better for me. League One's automatic promotion race went right to the wire this season, and threw up a dramatic finale which will take some topping. Doncaster Rovers went into the final game second in the table, needing a draw to be certain of a place in the top two.

Almeria meets R. Oviedo in a match of a round in Spain La liga 2. For me Almeria is the favorite here and I really don't think he can lose the match. The are very strong, and they are 2nd in scoring after Cadiz. Real Oviedo is at 17th place, they demonstrates very poor defense . In their 5 games at home Almeria has recorded 3 wins , 1 draw and 1 losses. In their last 5 games played outside their stadium away team has recorded 1 victory , 1 draws and 3 defeats. I am taking Almeria to win. This should be an easy win for the home team .
Hertha Berlin fc and Union Berlin fc are going to lock their horns for the second time this season in Bundesliga premier league, the guests have won their first game of H2h.

It seems that the hosts are on three games winning streak and they levelled their last game at this place when they were visited by Werder Bremen.
One consequence has been increased focus from rival fans, with Sunderland supporters having to endure the chant “we’ve seen you cry on Netflix”. Pearlman said that showed opposition fans are “jealous”, and there are only “huge positives” from the show. They are jealous. Jealous that their own clubs don't have a show about them,” he said. Turner added: “I think the worst thing for a football club is that you fall down the league and everyone forgets about you and you become irrelevant.
And I don't think that necessarily means on May 1 we will be. UFC heading to 'private island' Well this is something. UFC President Dana White has said the mixed martial arts promotion is close to securing a "private island" to stage bouts for international fighters during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation, which was forced to postpone three events, will resume its calendar with UFC 249 on April 18 and White said he had also found a new venue for that event after the Barclays Center in New York was ruled out.

There was no need for me to go and get involved up front as we had such good attackers. Hopefully you could get the ball to these players who could win you games of football. I only had one phone call about leaving'Scholes played his whole career at Old Trafford in two spells - coming out of a short-lived retirement to win a final Premier League. But could he have gone to the San Siro?I was never ever made aware of any team coming in for me.
I was so angry with Marcelo and Ramos but I went home and evaluated the situation, and there was no-one to blame apart from myself, and they had won. That is what they do and serial winners find ways to win. I actually have a tremendous amount of respect for Ramos. He can be a tough character and the number of times he has been sent off is ridiculous, but look at what he has won and achieved. There is a line and he has crossed it on numerous occasions but I don't mind people who do anything to win.

Famalicao have slumped in recent weeks and this is an important game regards their Europa League qualification hopes. They are six points behind Sporting in fourth and a win would revitalize their campaign. Current form is poor though and far too many goals are being conceded.

I felt from day one when he came in the door he changed everything," said Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. We followed him and believed him. It's been an amazing journey. I'm hoping there is more, we just keep hungry, keep wanting more and following him. The biggest thing is no matter what we all follow him, believe in him and he's took us to this point. This wouldn't be possible without him. A title 'fuelled by disappointment and learning'Liverpool narrowly missed out on the title in 2014 when a defeat by Chelsea at Anfield towards the end of the season allowed Manchester City to clinch the Premier League trophy instead.

Meanwhile, Udinese have seen both teams score in all of their last 10 home Coppa Italia ties. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 15 matches in this competition, while Bologna have scored in each of their last six trips in the Coppa Italia, with their only clean sheet in that time coming against Serie B side Pisa. Given the form of both sides, we are going with BTTS here.
Liverpool haven't been at their best of late but they can still pick up comfortable wins at home without getting out of first gear. We expect them to extend their winning streak and to do so with a clean sheet against goal-shy Burnley.
