TALKING POINT - Barcelona simply can’t allow Arturo Vidal to leave in January In the end, Barcelona gave themselves too much work to do after a first half which could have seen them concede more than once. The match changed with the introduction of Vidal at the break, with the Chilean scoring Barca’s second goal.
But Saturday's 2-1 comeback win over Bournemouth has taken them to within two wins - or two Manchester City defeats - of the Premier League title. City play Arsenal in the league at the same time as Liverpool's tie. Our full focus is on our game," added Reds left-back Andy Robertson - who is fit after missing the Bournemouth game through injury. We can't affect anything that's going on over in Manchester tomorrow night.
well this is going to be very interesting game because oxford at home is very good defensive and on the other side,Rotherham is very good offensive so I really don't want to predict the winner in this one especially because both teams are in very good shape and I decide to risk with draw because I don't think any team will be unhappy with that outcome and also the odd is very good, but I can't say I m secured for this bet and I can't recommend it but still I think it is a very good choice for this game
But then they moved into their shiny new stadium and there was a mentality shift after the Champions League final. I wonder whether Mourinho is the best person to have - we've seen some of the usual problems with man management. The evidence is there with the way he's treating Troy Parrott. Spurs spend a lot of money on their youth system and he brings a bad energy to the whole club by overlooking one of their best prospects.
There is no favorite in this duel between Aston Villa and Norwich City, both clubs are in relegation zone, and only Watford is behind them at standings. Aston Villa is in little better situation, since they will play at home ground, and they are three points above the opponent at standings, but I doubt that they will to play risky in this duel, since they collected four defeats in a row, so the worst result for them would be another defeat. Norwich City was defeated in last round against Wolves, 1-2, but round before they played a draw at away against Leicester, by my opinion, Norwich is able to stay undefeated in this duel.
Klopp's side are running away with the Premier League title, dropping just two points all season, while Atletico are fourth in La Liga, 13 points behind leaders Real Madrid. Atletico are not the Atletico team they were before, when they had that team of warriors - all fighters who were typical Diego Simeone players. They had a nasty side," says Terreur. I watched them play Real Madrid and it was a very boring game, you see a team that is not a team any more.
The French striker raced ominously into the box before his heavy touch gave St Mirren the chance to mop up. Instead, they made a mess of it as Paul McGinn and goalkeeper Hladky left the ball to each other, McGregor nipped in and hit the post before tapping in the rebound. If the first goal was a calamity from St Mirren, the second was a counter-attack of sheer quality from Celtic, who wore black armbands in memory of former captain Duncan MacKay who has died at age 82.

Gent head to this game on the back of a good run in Europa League and will be looking to secure their place in the next round with a win. However, St. Etienne have a great run at home and will also have their own ambitions. St. Etienne have been doing well lately though they have not won any of their last six Europa League matches. With all that in regard, we feel the best bet here would be a draw.
Zira will be hosting Keshla in this round of the Azerbaijan Premier League this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have goals from each team in question here. The hosts have managed to score an average of 1 goal in their last 5 games at home in all competitions and they can score at least a goal in this game. The visitors have managed to score an average of 1 goal in their last 5 games on the road in all competitions and they can score at least a goal in this game too seeing that they possess more quality
This is easy bet and one of the safest for the whole day cause Exeter is first of all in better shape than Newport and also Exeter is very strong team at home with a lot of goals scored and on the other side,Newport is also much better at home than on the road and visitors won 70% of their points at home this season so I really could not expect a lot from them today and even if they do manage to score a goal,I think they Will still lose the game so I surely want to recommend this bet
While not commenting on those decisions, Martin did express some concern about the schedule of NIFL's top three divisions coming out of sync with the junior leagues. That is something we have to discuss with all parties and it [an overlap of seasons] is a concern. There are other issues such as registration of players that need to be taken into consideration," he added. Coming out of Covid-19 will be a brand new opportunity and hopefully a bright new dawn.
For the first, he controlled a long Manuel Neuer kick before shooting from at least 30 yards, with the goalkeeper spilling his shot over the line. His second, which ended Leverkusen's hopes, was a wonderful chip over Hradecky. Leverkusen's reputation as Germany's nearly men continues. They have lost a Champions League final, three German Cup finals and finished Bundesliga runners-up five times since winning their only two major trophies - the Uefa Cup in 1988 and the German Cup in 1993.
In a game of few chances and plenty of fouls, Tranmere had been the more dominant side in the first half but failed to apply sufficient pressure to the Sunderland rearguard. Jon McLaughlin was forced to make a good save from a low curling Kane Wilson free kick, but despite their early promise, that was as good as it got for Rovers.

He retired from playing last December at the age of 38 after a season in Japan playing for Vissel Kobe.

RKC have picked up 4pts from their last three home games while Twente have picked up 1pt from their last three away games, and neither team head into Friday’s match in the best of form.

To know both that our union has had to invite an independent review into its governance by Sport Resolutions and is subject to a parallel review by the Charity Commission is obviously very alarming. Kitson, who also played for Cambridge United, Sheffield United and Oxford United, added: "As a first step, I am posing a set of 101 questions to the PFA that I believe should be in the minds of all members who care that our union best serves us all and will continue to do so in the future.

The hosts will be boosted by their four-goal haul at the weekend, which should set them up for a victory in this clash. They are meeting the league’s worst attacking unit, while the Latics have one of the league’s poorest defences.

Hertha BSC host their biggest rival Union Berlin in the 27th round of the Bundesliga. Hertha BSC were really impressive in their last match where they won 3:0 against Hoffenheim away.

Here they take on an Inter side in good form and though they are playing at home, this may not matter a lot.

We will go with a win for Inter in this clash.
Everton have lost only once in Ancelotti's eight Premier League games in charge but they will be tested after their break where they face Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in successive games.

We all know where we want to be and that's playing in Europe," Calvert-Lewin added.
The Super Cup traditionally kickstarted the season in Spain with a two-legged contest between the Copa del Rey winners and La Liga champions although the 2018 edition was played as a one-off game in Tangier, Morocco. Last year the Spanish football federation (RFEF) agreed to double the number of teams and take the competition outside Spain permanently as well as moving it from August to January.
A long pause caused by a coronavirus pandemic, at the initial stage after the resumption of the championship, erases absolutely any advantage of a team over another (with the exception of the advantage in points in the table). The home field factor, some kind of trends, statistics, scorer qualities - all this does not play a role now, everything seems to be from scratch. The only thing that matters is how the teams prepared in a short period of training to restart. The form of Augsburg and Wolfsburg is hard to judge, the pace of the game will be very slow or torn, I think no team can make the decisive effort that will bring victory in the match

Zidane, who loves varying his team selections and springing surprises, could also follow Setien's method and overload his midfield, with Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Fede Valverde and Isco all doing more in recent weeks to earn a starting spot than any of the forwards. Setien, meanwhile, is an avid adherent of possession football: his team attempted more than 1,000 passes in a home win over Granada, while his insistence on building from the back led to goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen making 69 passes earlier this month against Getafe.
