It was Payet's eighth league goal of the season. The Provence side, who were once again helped by a sterling performance from keeper Steve Mandanda, have not yet conceded a single goal in Ligue 1 in 2020. PSG will be without Neymar when they take on Lyon on Sunday after coach Thomas Tuchel said it was 'too early' for the Brazil forward to get back to action after picking up a rib injury last weekend.
The Canadian club finished ninth in the Eastern Conference in the 2019 season, well short of the play-offs. Wanyama became a key player for Spurs after arriving from Southampton in June 2016, making 47 appearances in all competitions as Mauricio Pochettino's side finished second in the Premier League behind Chelsea. But a knee cartilage injury at the start of the following season, and more knee issues in 2018-19, derailed his Spurs career and limited him to just 24 more starts in all competitions.
Tottenham, meanwhile, find themselves a point below Wolves in 7th place. Unlike Wolves, the visitors’ midweek action wasn’t much of a confidence boosting exercise as they lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich, although you can’t argue with the job that Jose Mourinho has done at Spurs so far.
He's not a full-back. He has a lot of courage to make decisions in the final third. I'm very pleased with his performance. Last season's finalists now take a seemingly healthy advantage back to the Emirates for the second leg with a lead and an away goal as they look to make amends for last season's disappointment.

Read the full story Video - Thomas Lemar used as bait to get Arsenal striker – Euro Papers01:30 Guardiola set to stay at City The Daily Telegraph reports that Pep Guardiola will stay at least until the end of his contract with Manchester City, until 2021, and may even stay on beyond that.

Bayern Munich is the only team that managed to win here at Bochum this season and they won hard with just 3-2 in the cup competition, this while Bochum is very good at scoring goals but they had a bunch of either 2-2 or 3-3 draws in home games earlier this season but won 2 of their last 3 home games in the league lately defeating Aue 2-0 a premier for them to keep a clean sheet at home as well as a 3-1 win with Nurnberg also at home lately.
More recently, the Gladbach team confidently led the standings, however, the terrible results in away matches drove the team Marco Rose to third place. After the home victory over Paderborn, the “foals” earned only one point out of a possible six in the next two away meetings with Hertha and Schalke. As a result, now Borussia is already in third position, behind the leading Leipzig by five points. Obviously, in a home game against an outsider, the Gladbakhs only need a victory, and Rose needs to think about the results in the guest matches, otherwise Borussia risks being out of the Champions League zone.
I've been in love with Mbappé for a long time," said Zidane. I've been seeing him for a long time, when he came here [to Real Madrid] for trials. Spurs lineup Ake transfer Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth defender Nathan Aké as they look to bolster their defence, having kept just one clean sheet this season, the lowest of any side in the Premier League.

The global soccer body also said it would encourage clubs and players "to work together to find agreements and solutions during the period when football is suspended" and the sport has to deal with an unprecedented loss of revenue. The guidelines, reported by Reuters on Sunday, were endorsed by the FIFA Bureau -- a reduced version of its decision-making Council -- on Tuesday.
When Caldwell was at Chesterfield in 2017 he could sense the end was nigh, and he was right. Kind of. A 5-1 defeat by Stoke City resulted in a pitchside conversation with the club's chief executive, who told him the owner had "had enough", which Caldwell accepted. After that, the analyst came out the dressing room and said the players wanted to speak to the chief exec," the former Scotland captain says.
Is Mourinho the right manager for a rising star? One other reason for Haaland to be hesitant about a move is Jose Mourinho. The Tottenham Hotspur manager has tended to prefer older players throughout his career, footballers who are already the finished product rather than youngsters who require nurturing and development.
The 27-year-old Dane, who joined Spurs in 2013 and moved to Inter Milan last month, had said after Tottenham's defeat by Liverpool in last season's Champions League final that he wanted to try something new.

But the act couldn't be maintained for too long. A man who relishes conflict as much as Mourinho - a man who has contributed to some of the most spectacular verbal battles seen in the Premier League - can't stay away from it for too long. WHEN DID THE CRACKS APPEAR? After seeing Spurs lose 2-0 at home to his former club Chelsea, Mourinho saw fit to dig out Antonio Rudiger for apparently playacting during an incident that saw Son dismissed - on a night when the Chelsea man was the target of racial abuse.
Russia stay along Turkey to play football. I don't know how long this will last, still it is nice we have something to bet on. These two are teams who are in good form. Lokomotiv had two games after winter break against Zenit away 0-0 and won Akhmat Grozny 1-0. Rostov won against CSKA 3-2 and had 1-1 against Grozny as well. Both teams had so far score 11-5-5 with more goals scored and conceded by Rostov. Expect open game for goal more. Teams had friendly game in Doha and result was 5-4 for Lokomotiv half time 3-3. So I just ask 6 goals less in this one! Good luck!
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.
Saudi Arabia's human rights record has also overshadowed the proposed takeover of Newcastle, owned by Mike Ashley for 13 years. In the email, Watling asks: "Whether the government, by allowing the sale to take place, is taking appropriate action to protect the value of UK sport?""Whether the government is taking seriously its manifesto commitment to instigate a fan-led review of football governance, including consideration of an owners' and directors' test which takes a holistic view of the health of UK sport?""What progress has been made since the statement to the committee on 8 May [2019] - almost a year ago - to stop Saudi Arabia's beoutQ and protect creative industries such as the Premier League, Wimbledon, BBC and Sky?"Watling also argues that the recovery of creative and sporting industries after the coronavirus outbreak would be helped if a solution to the piracy claims was found.

The home team have found scoring a problem at times and have not been able to score as many goals as they would have wanted in their matches. This could be another low scoring match for them after seeing not many goals in their past 2 matches and seeing under 1.5 goals in these matches. The amount of shots on target have been low and this could be exactly the same for this match. This could be a low scoring match as improvement will also need to be made on their defensive efforts with some recent losing matches in the league.

Big Bullets are ranked 8th on the Ranking Table, they still have many chances to reach the championship round when they are only 2 points behind the 6th place team.
