We used the same tactics in the FA Cup final, with three at the back and wing-backs in a kind of 3-4-1-2 formation. Joleon Lescott: "It just threw us. We were winning most games because we were better than anyone else, and tactically we were good enough to hold out and defend - but no-one had done what Wigan were doing. Gary Caldwell: "We always tried to keep the ball and attack - Martinez wanted us to play football, but we also had to respect how good City were, so our wing-backs dropped into a five at the back when they had possession.
Which means a number of his first-choice players may not feature at Turf Moor. He said the forward players in particular may not play but behind "they have got options", so the likes of Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn may all not feature. He also said Harry Winks was "completely dead", so he is likely to miss out too. The north London side have only kept two clean sheets in 14 games in 2020 too so it may be best to avoid their defensive players like Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, where Mourinho likes to shuffle from game-to-game anyway.
Haaland settled immediately in Germany following his January move from Red Bull Salzburg, scoring a hat-trick on his debut as a substitute, while Sancho has had his best season yet in yellow. The latest episode of Game of Opinions saw German football expert Tom Mueller (not that one) join the usual cast to discuss the prospects of Dortmund’s brightest stars.
Dinamo will be meeting with saliva and looking at the last games this two teams have meet together the home team have won many games as compared to the away team and so this makes us to be very sure that this game the home team will win it
Wellington Phoenix got off to an awful start to the season, losing their opening four games of the season but a 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory proved to be the turning point for the side as they are now seven games unbeaten. Impressive wins against Adelaide United and Western United have been backed up by another point picked up against Victory and a 2-2 draw with champions elect, Sydney FC. Many had written off Wellington before the start of the season but they’ve proven their critics wrong as they look to qualify for the finals series once again.
Brighton buoyed but search for win goes on This could yet prove a crucial point for Brighton, who are the only team left in the top four divisions not to win this year. This was their 10th attempt, drawing six and losing four. Graham Potter's side were well organised and kept their first clean sheet since that most recent win, 2-0 against Bournemouth on 28 December.
I can only imagine what he made of it. I saw what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and thousands of watching football fans around the world saw. We all saw it. The question is what to do about it?Manchester City have made a good start by insisting they will ban fans for life if found guilty of these actions. We had this nonsense before in the '70s and '80s and the game spiralled into decline.
All five of Europe's top domestic leagues -- England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany -- are suspended, along with the Champions League, Europa League and World Cup qualifiers. Leagues have urged UEFA to prioritise completing domestic competitions, reflecting a concern that clubs throughout Europe will lose significant ticket and associated match-day revenue by not completing the season while still having to pay their players' salaries.
No. The only team left (you don't count, Leicester and Everton) are. It's obvious. Poch has launched his offensive. He’s coming for you, Ole. Video - Messi and Ronaldo in the same team?! Juventus plot extraordinary summer transfer - Euro Papers01:20 Leeds heading back to the big time? Pochettino's arrival at Brentford v Leeds briefly reminded us that football exists outside of the Premier League - and it's around this time of year that we first glance at the Championship table to see who looks like getting amongst the big time.

The hosts indeed deserve to be favorites to win this one as last season was very good from them even getting an AFC Cup place at the end and they have not made fools of themselves in the 3 games played by them there even drawing 2-2 at Ceres and winning 4-1 away at the champions from Cambodia. The guests are just a newly promoted side but were really attacking minded on the road in the 2nd league level last season scoring 28 goals in 11 away games while also conceding 8 times.

Energetik was underestimated in this season, for at least two times in the previous three round, but they make their place at the top of the league, with all three winning matches. Leaders are going to Zhodino to face torpedo, which also begin well, but failed to make any chance in the recent loss to Dynamo in Minsk.

Bournemouth v Aston Villa *Aston Villa prevailed 1-0 last time they visited Bournemouth in the Premier League back in 2015. Bournemouth beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 last time out to snap a run of four defeats. Villa sealed only their second win in five matches when they beat Watford 2-1 in their previous fixture to climb out of the relegation zone.

It was yet more disappointment for new Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Sunday as he continued his hunt for his first Premier League win. A late comeback from Chelsea saw that hunt extended as they lost 2-1 at the Emirates, which follows on from back to back draws against Everton and Bournemouth to make for a thoroughly underwhelming start for Arteta.
Chelsea plan Chalov signing for January The Express reports that Chelsea are planning to bring in new players if their transfer ban is lifted before January. Frank Lampard and Roman Abramovich are both keen on CSKA Moscow striker Fedor Chalov. The 21-year-old Russian forward is wanted by Crystal Palace as well, and would cost around £25 million.
The only team to have played more games against an opponent without ever leading is Portsmouth against Chelsea (14 games). The Clarets are winless in 15 top-flight games against Arsenal, since a 1-0 victory at Highbury in September 1974. Arsenal have drawn five consecutive away league matches for the first time since August 1948.
West Ham need to boost their confidence if they are to escape the bottom three. They led at Liverpool but again their defensive skills let them down. Their current form is poor and home results not coming either. Southampton struggled earlier in the season and looked to be set for a relegation battle. That's not the case now and a good run-in could see them finish in the top six. They have the ability to win this game and plunge West Ham into further despair.
But if they do win it, it's a great season. City need to 'freshen up' their defence Steven Bergwijn scores Spurs' opening goal in the win over City at the weekendCity lost 2-0 to Tottenham on Sunday and have conceded 29 goals in 25 league games this campaign - six more than last season when they beat Liverpool to the title by one point. Wright said "nothing has gone too wrong for City" besides injuries to key players and an "amazing" Liverpool campaign but they will need to "freshen up" their defensive options this summer.
Raheem is fit, his natural physical condition and regeneration is amazing," said Guardiola. He told us he could play at West Ham and Leicester but the doctors said be careful as muscular injuries take three weeks. After 15 days he wanted to play. He is fit, he is ready. Why Pep Guardiola may spring surprise in Champions League'You have to beat the big, big teams'Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has challenged his players to "fight until the end" and gain their first-ever Champions League victory over Real, a side who have won the tournament in four of the past six seasons.
Rooney was highly influential in the tie from a deep-lying midfield role. Rooney influenced the game a lot because you could see his experience," Cocu said of the ex-England captain. I think he did very good; he played a more controlled position. A big part of the success today is the combination between him and Tom Huddlestone - it was a pleasure to watch.
Crvena Zvezda have also struggled to compete in a group with the likes of Spurs and Bayern. Defensively, it's fair to say that the Serbians have been the worst team in the group. They've conceded no less than 19 goals and are without a clean sheet. They've also shipped two or more in four out of five.
It is now also clear nothing has been learned by the Tynecastle outfit in the last week. Set-pieces remain a problem, with Celtic centre-half Christopher Jullien unopposed when rising for his headed goal - and it wasn't the only time throughout the match the defence looked shaky from set-plays. James Forrest and Greg Taylor, despite playing as wing-backs, were afforded an incredible amount of space throughout the game down either flank.
Semifinals of Serbian Cup, also the most popular city derby in this part of Europe, Partizan will play against Red Star, and this will be their 200. Derby match. Stake is big for both side, fans from both clubs want a win in this duel, Red Star is in better form, they are already won the title, but no doubt, coach Dejan Stankovic wants want to continue with good results and a victory against their biggest rival. Partizan was defeated in last round against Spartak, despite the fact that they lead two times in the match, final result was 3-2. Match without winner in regular time.
Apollon climbed a lot of places in the league recently thanks to some great wins like 3-1 with AEK Larnaca or 2-1 with Omonia and 2-0 with Anorthosis which are all top teams in the league this season while earlier this season when they hosted Ol. Nicosia they won the game with ease 3-1 in the end despite not being in the best form at that moment while at this moment Apollon won 5 games in a row in the league and they were not easy games at the same time.
The visitors have seen both teams score in 75% of their away trips this term, while Swansea have just two clean sheets in their last 10 home matches. The Welsh side have conceded in 77% of their matches at the Liberty, while Charlton have found the net in 83% of their trips. We expect them to get another goal here, with both teams to score our pick in this clash.
Going to the game, West Ham have 23 points and are placed 17th while 15th placed Brighton have 25 points. West Ham have four wins and 10 losses, with four clean sheets in their last 15 matches. They have conceded in each of their last five matches and have conceded two goals or more in eight of their last 15 matches.
Both sides have made average starts to the season with their unbeaten records already gone. Balestier finished bottom of the table last season and have four points from their first three games of the season. Their opponents have won one and lost one and scored and conceded in both games. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager for this game.
Sampdoria head to this game on a poor run of form, while Napoli have also not posted the best results. Sampdoria have managed just one win over Napoli in 17 matches and going to this one, we feel they will be underdogs again, having won just one of the last 17 meetings. Both teams have not scored a lot of goals lately, and we believe it will remain so here. A bet of under 2.5 goals could pass here.
PSG eye the former Leicester man as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe if he leaves to join Real Madrid in the near future. United trigger Matic extension Manchester United have triggered the one-year extension option in Nemanja Matic's contract and are in talks over a new deal, according to Sky Sports News.
Former Celtic midfielder Paul McStay: "All we could do was go to Love Street, get the two points against St Mirren and put the pressure on Hearts. We had a fabulous team including the likes of Danny McGrain, Tommy Burns, Roy Aitken, Mo Johnston, Murdo MacLeod and others with lots of experience. If you're looking for people to handle a big occasion, you need winners. We had that in abundance, guys who knew what was needed to be successful.
The hosts have secured three wins in their last four matches, which they will hope can boost them going into this trip. However, those three wins have all come at home. That has been a familiar story for Rovers, who are lacking on the road.
Jalapa U20 and Diriangen U20 will face each other in the upcoming match in the Liga Primera U20, Nicaragua. Jalapa U20 this season have the following results: 6W, 4D and 5L. Meanwhile Diriangen U20 have 3W, 5D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
What a season for Bielefeld. They were behind the spots of promotions, but this year they played good football and manage to stay unbeaten. Two draws and five wins manage to put Bielefeld on first place with six points above the 2nd place. If they play the same way till the end of the season they will promote with ease. In the last game they manage to get a draw away at Stuttgart, the team from 2nd place, and keep the distance from them. They need wins against teams like Osnabruck to keep the good morale. Osnabruck is not impressing and Bielefeld should take the win.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insists he is still happy at the club. City are fourth in the Premier League - their lowest position since the end of Guardiola's first season in 2017 - and a 3-1 loss to Liverpool a fortnight ago left them nine points behind the Reds. Why should people think I'm not happy? Because we lost at Anfield or I've lost three games this season?" he said before Saturday's match with Chelsea.
Amstetten against GAK here, meeting of the Erste Liga of Austrian football that is played today afternoon at 19:10. Amstetten favored for the victory of the match comes from a 2-2 away draw against the same opponents in a match played in fields reversed a week ago; both teams have the same technical potential and it is possible that another draw will occur here; the Amstetten however does not play at all badly for being a team of low rankings -I got to see some of his matches and seems to be a pretty well organized team despite having no major player- so let's try 1 Ah-0.25 and Good Luck! ;-)
On Wednesday, Real Valladolid said they had refused the tests on the grounds that other people were more needy, while Alaves announced 15 positive cases. Tebas would not be drawn on each club’s decision. I’d rather not get into that. Some of the things that have been said have surprised me, but right now I’d rather abstain from as to why people haven’t wanted the testing kits.
