Then, with the strikers, we split them instead of playing two down the middle. When City attacked us with their full-backs, we had a counter-attack threat in both channels - Callum McManaman with his pace and trickery down the right and Arouna Kone with his pace and power down the left. Graham Barrow: "It pretty much all went to plan. City started the game really well and Carlos Tevez had a great chance early on that Joel Robles saved with his feet, but that calmed us down and it was almost like scoring a goal because it gave everyone such a lift.
The FA has created a double standard and I find it unacceptable. Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan will donate 28,000 Australian dollars {about £15,000} to a wildlife rescue fund in Australia after 56 saves were made in the Premier League this weekend. The Australian pledged to donate A$500 Australian dollars per save to Wires Wildlife Rescue in response to the bushfire crisis in his home country.
Paper Round's view: It's a tough position for Dean Smith to be in. His side are struggling in the league despite spending big in the summer and now his £22 million forward is sidelined with injury for the remainder of the season. To make things worse, his only forward option, Kodjia, has featured just six times in the league this season, all coming as a substitute, which says a lot about how much his manager rates him.

Real failed to win either of their two opening group games but since then have recorded two wins over Galatasaray without conceding a goal. The Spaniards have gone five games without defeat and not conceded in any of them. PSG is a much tougher game than Galatasaray and Eibar. The win over Galatasaray ended a run of three Champions League home matches without a win.
The top three National League divisions, the Women's Super League and women's championship remain in talks about how best to conclude their seasons. However, with no new teams promoted into those leagues, they could decide to follow suit which would then affect the men's professional divisions. The Premier League and other top level soccer in England is suspended until at least April 30 but the governing bodies have said the current season can be extended indefinitely.
That is my question. For the moment the criteria means it is absolutely difficult to say that we can play competitive football and believe me I regret it profoundly because I am a football man. I am a little bit afraid that to have a complete solution we will have to wait until we have a vaccination programme, but I think the time has come now to think of some hygienic rules. For instance to avoid spitting - why do we have to see that in football and not in other sports? This is one of the things we have to consider because this is a real danger in the future.
Dinamo is taking on Isloch in the city derby, where home side should push for victory that may bring them back among the top teams in the league. They are in the drop again, and will seek to break that losing run from Slutsk and Dinamo Brest in two previous matches in the competition.
The 33-year-old's well-taken goal early on set the tone for the match and the 33-year-old was not afraid to do the defensive work against a physical Tottenham team. His highly professional performance begs the question; Why has he not been playing more often? PLAYER RATINGS Chelsea: Caballero (7), James (6), Azpilicueta (7), Rudiger (6), Christensen (6), Alonso (7), Jorginho (6), Kovacic (6), Barkley (7), Mount (7), Giroud (8).
He vanquishes and conquers any fear that you may have of the opponent. Good at connecting with big egos'Ancelotti endured a difficult start to this season with Napoli, and was critical of the state of the club's dressing rooms following renovation work at the Stadio San Paolo. Last month the manager and Napoli players were in a high-profile dispute with president De Laurentiis, who had ordered the team to attend a week-long training camp.
Solskjaer's side has looked a more impressive package in that sequence with the influence of Fernandes adding the X-factor to what was a potentially potent attack. No wonder Solskjaer was smiling at the final whistle as he revelled in a victory over their derby rivals that was relished just as much inside a thunderous Old Trafford. The final judgement on Solksjaer's first full season in charge must be reserved and shaped by these final weeks of the season - but this may just have been his most satisfying day of the campaign, with things looking a whole lot more satisfactory for the Norwegian.
Like last time, we had chances to win the game. Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "The first goal, for me, is not a penalty. It's hit Ash Taylor in the back. He's turned round and kept his hands and arms right in and I'm disappointed the referee has given a penalty for that. It's a good point in the end after being two goals down.

Joelinton scored only his second Premier League goal and first since 25 August as Newcastle swept aside 10-man Sheffield United to take a huge step towards safety. The relief on the Brazilian striker's face was apparent when he tapped in the Magpies' third, and although there were no fans inside St James' Park to celebrate with, no doubt many were screaming with delight as the £40m striker ended his torrid run.
There is an etiquette but you get the gist of what someone is saying," Ferdinand told BT Sport. It came close, there were discussions with my agent. Barcelona had touched base.

Dijon have drawn three times at home this season and Metz have drawn three times on the road, with the hosts averaging 1.50 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.67 points per away game. Dijon score an average of 1.00 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.00 goals while Metz score an average of 0.44 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.67 goals, adding further weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw this weekend.
estudiantes host river plate in this fixture. River plate have been performing up to standard and their form has been seen by them winning their last five games an impressive fit that has seen them take the top spot of the league and also be the top goal scoring team within the league with 37 goals. Estudiantes on the other hand have been on a rocky road having a record of 3 draws a loss and a win in their last 5 encounters also at the expense of conceding as much goals .I predict at least 2 goals being scored
The approach taken by Fifa to this case has been deeply unsatisfactory. Fifa accused Chelsea of breaching rules on the signing of 27 under-18 players. However, the Blues claimed that in 16 of those cases, the players were registered in line with advice that the game's global governing body had given the Football Association in 2009. Chelsea argued that the alleged rules breaches in the remaining 11 cases were either "procedural" or there was no case to answer because of precedents set in Cas' ruling on Spanish side Real Madrid's transfer ban in 2016.
Coming into the season under the threat of relegation on the average points table after some poor recent campaigns, Newell's looked to have pulled off a masterstroke in appointing ex-Talleres boss Frank Kudelka. Indeed La Lepra started the season in excellent shape, losing just 1 of their first 9 matches but some concerning performances have since started to creep in.
Since losing their first home game under Danny Cowley (0-2 v Sheffield Wednesday), Huddersfield have only lost one of their last eight Championship games on home soil (W3 D4). We expect them to continue that solid form, but the Terriers have won just 25% of their home games so far. That has us backing a draw between these two. Given that 50% of their home matches have seen exactly two goals scored, we’re also going with a 1-1 draw.
A winning goal against Atletico Madrid on Sunday just underlined his propensity for match-winning greatness, he has made free-kicks an almost as reliable source of goals as penalties and he continues to produce moments which other players simply cannot. Including Ronaldo, who while he continues to accumulate goals for Portugal at a ridiculous rate has seen his domestic contributions decline at Juventus.
I know odds are not that great but I really am trying to be as safe as I can be with my best, facts are the hosts from New York, USA, of course everyone knows that won 5-3 in Costa Rica and have nothing to attack for it seem the time has been won by them but San Carlos has been conceding a lot of goals even in the league as the season in Costa Rica started early, and I see them wide open in defense although they should also be able to score as they really have nothing to lose here so will take the over 2.5 goals bet.
Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero says "everything went well" after having surgery on his injured knee. The Argentine had travelled to Barcelona to see a knee specialist amid fears his season might be over. His manager Pep Guardiola said it is too early to put a timescale on the 32-year-old's return to action. Asked if Aguero would be fit for the resumption of the Champions League on 7-8 August, City's Spanish boss said: "I don't know right now.
Hassenhuttl will also get the chance to strengthen in January but he looks to have harnessed a superb spirit, a feat that looked unlikely after a 9-0 home defeat by Leicester just 10 games ago. What's next?Southampton now have back-to-back home games against Crystal Palace on Saturday and Tottenham on New Year's Day. Chelsea face a trip to Arsenal on 29 December and then go to Brighton on 1 January.

It is Moore's statue that commands a prominent position outside the new Wembley -- a permanent reminder of the day England ruled the world, and just how long the wait has been for the national team to scale such heights again. Regally composed with his arms crossed, left foot resting on the ball, quiet determination etched on his face, the statue also offers a reminder of the immaculate standards of professionalism Moore set on and off the pitch.

However, the Edinburgh club still has a lot of problems to deal with, namely in defence where they've only kept a clean sheet on one occasion on the opening day of the campaign. Hibs face the same difficulty away from home, conceding an average of 2.33 goals but also managing to net 1.17 times on their travels. Moreover, the Hibees have won away at bottom-placed St Johnstone and have recently drawn with Hamilton.
The round 20 of the Italian Serie A comes to an end as Atalanta plays at home against Spal. The home team, Atlanta are currently at the fifth position of the league standings. They have won 5 of 9 home matches played in the league this season. Only Lazio have scored more home goals than them in the league this season. The away team, Spal are currently at the last position of the league standings. They have lost 8 of 10 away matches in the league this season despite conceding fewer goals away from home than 7 other teams in the league. I don't think that the visitors will be able to score a goal today and I don't think Atalanta will score too much also. Good luck and bet responsibly.
Gent is 4th and they play against the 1st place today Club Brugge. Club Brugge is with 45 points in first place and they have 8 points more than 2nd place Antwerp.

Maybe Club Brugge will not play hard today seeing the difference between them and the second place. Gent will look to win this match but however I don't think that Club Brugge will allow them to win. I see this match a draw.

Hard but the odds are good and here despite guests are worse team see chances for them and could be able to win and so my bet is the DNB on them because also the draw is possible. The hosts are Umraniyespor and guests are Akhisarspor and this is a match in Turkey for the 1 Lig of the country. Hosts and guests both have 21 points after 12 matches and are in top zone. Hosts at home did only 2 wins in last 5 matches played and lost the last 2 h2h at home and so I hope could be a good matchup for the guests.

He’s a young boy who’s done well every time he’s played. He’s had maybe one game where it didn’t go right for him away at Sheffield United. But then Solskjaer made changes – he went to three at the back and Williams was asked to play as a wing-back. I’ve learnt from my own experience that when you have a young player who is doing well, you play him because it’s good for their confidence.
That was proved by what happened across the Channel, where the French league's modelling and scenario planning was suddenly rendered meaningless when Prime Minister Edouard Philippe made his shock announcement, and the season was abruptly cancelled, as it has been in the Netherlands and Belgium. Government approval in the UK relies on key tests such as improved testing capacity, and a relaxation of social distancing rules being met.
Dartford ran out 3-0 winners to keep alive their prospects of promotion to the National League, although whether or not that challenge will come to fruition is out of their hands.
