Bournemouth host Newcastle United on Wednesday (18:00 BST kick-off), before a tough run of four fixtures against Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Manchester City. Only Crystal Palace and bottom club Norwich City having scored fewer than the 29 league goals the Cherries have managed this season. There's no part of me that's feeling sorry for myself or despondent," said Howe. It's a motivated, fully energised, fully focused manager that the players are getting to get results and to achieve our objectives.
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic suffered a problem with his calf in training on Monday, the club have said. Reports suggested the latest injury to the 39-year-old Swede could be career threatening but Milan told BBC Sport he will have tests on Tuesday. We will know the entity of the problem [then]," said a statement. Former Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic rejoined Milan on a six-month deal in December scoring four goals in 10 appearances.
That would be the much talked about 14-team Premiership with three other divisions of 10, a structure that would see Hearts staying in the top flight and Partick Thistle staying in the Championship. The reality of that passing? In terms of the vote the threshold is high. It would need 11 of the 12 Premiership clubs to vote for it, eight of the 10 in the Championship and 15 of the 20 in the other two divisions.
In addition, the Chinese Football Association said Ozil's comments were "unacceptable" and had "hurt the feelings" of Chinese fans. CCTV will now show Sunday's game between Tottenham and Wolves, instead of a live broadcast of Arsenal's home match with the reigning Premier League champions. In his social media post Ozil, who is a Muslim, called Uighurs "warriors who resist persecution" and criticised both China and the silence of Muslims in response.

However, the introduction of Kamberi at half-time changed things. He provided a different option, and came short to set up a good chance for Scott Arfield just a few minutes before beautifully volleying in the equaliser from James Tavernier's early cross, his first Rangers goal. The on-loan Hibs forward gave St Johnstone something different to think about by running across defenders who had comfortably held Rangers at arm's length throughout the first half.
Amstetten and Innsbruck will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Amstetten this season have the following results: 6W, 7D and 7L. Meanwhile Innsbruck have 9W, 3D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Substitute Bailey picked the ball up wide in the area, shuffled away from a bewildered Matt Polster and lifted a delicate finishing up and around McGregor. That ended any hope of a Rangers revival and ensured they would lose a European game at Ibrox for the first time since a Champions League qualification defeat against Malmo in 2011. Match statsRangers have lost consecutive home games for the first time since March 2018Leverkusen have won consecutive away games in all European competition for the first time since October 2012, having won in Porto in the last roundThe German side have now won their last two matches against British sides, having also beaten Tottenham 1-0 at Wembley in November 2016Havertz has been involved in five goals in this three Europa League games this term (3 goals, 2 assists).
If you look around, or you leave the hotel, there are not many people walking on the streets. Nobody seems to walk around, everyone seems to drive. However, Warnock had a different experience. The organisation - in terms of getting to the ground and everything immediately before and after the games - was seamless," Warnock said. As a dress rehearsal for the World Cup, it has been a really good one.
Barcelona have gone 19 home league games without defeat. Barcelona have won their last 14 home league matches. Real Madrid have only won two of their last five away matches. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last six league games played against Real Madrid. It’s the first El Clasico of the season and what a game it promises to be.
This will be one of the most interesting duels in this round in Bundesliga and I will just here bet on goals, and enjoy in fantastic match. Leverkusen is pretty good this season and this team is have goal to play in Champions League, again, next season. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund is have even better team and they are hope that they can attack even the title in this country. What will happen, we will see, but I in any case believe here in at least four goals. Dortmund is in meantime lost in Cup against Werder 3-2.
The central defender has undergone an extensive medical examination in recent days, following the dizziness that briefly bothered him during the Ajax-Valencia match," a club statement read. It was then decided to place a subcutaneous ICD with Blind, a device that is applied under the skin. As a result of this intervention, which took place yesterday, the 29-year-old international will not start the training camp selection at the beginning of January, but will continue to work on his recovery in Amsterdam.
A new manager has come in and they're playing exciting football - but I don't think that is [ever going to be] Crystal Palace. Under Roy Hodgson, they are never going to change. Hodgson is really good at what he does; he sets them up to be hard to beat and they play a lot on the counter-attack. But when they lose Wilfried Zaha - and it's going to happen either in January or the summer - they are going to have to change their style of football because they aren't going to have Zaha there who can win a game individually.
It won’t do the club any harm in persuading him to join up with them by showing him a decent performance against United, but it is hard to see Barcelona being willing to sell him for anything but a huge transfer fee - which Arsenal can't afford. Read the full story Mourinho doesn’t want defenders Spurs manager Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he does not believe that his club need to sign any defenders in the transfer window.
They believe, in Bruno Fernandes, that is exactly what they have done. They would argue he has been a target for a while and is the kind of player they need that fits into the long-term vision. They understand Ighalo doesn't fit into the vision and that wasn't part of the plan. However, they feel as though they are reacting to a short-term situation which is Marcus Rashford - their leading goalscorer and number one striker - getting injured.
They have four wins and a draw in the last five matches and have lost just once in their last 11 matches. They are only second to Barcelona on goal difference and much of their rise has been due to improvement in defence. In the last five matches, Real Madrid have not conceded a goal, while they have seven clean sheets in the last 10 matches.
I thought we outplayed them," said Robinson. I don't know what the stats are but we created good chances, even in the first half. Their first goal is a worldie and the third is an outstanding finish. It is all ifs and buts unfortunately but I am really proud of my players. Man of the match - Allan Saint-Maximin (Newcastle) The game needed a moment of magic to decide it and Allan Saint-Maximin provided itReplay joy again for Newcastle - the statsNewcastle have won their last five FA Cup replays, scoring 17 goals across those victories.

Since his debut in February, Fernandes has been directly involved in more goals in all competitions than any other Premier League player, with six goals and four assists. United lie two points adrift of Chelsea in fourth and three behind Leicester in third, who they face on the final day of the campaign in a match which may prove be a shootout for a Champions League spot. But their victory at Brighton did take them fifth, which would be enough for a Champions League place if Manchester City's ban from European competition is upheld.
Jena and Bayern II will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Jena this season have the following results: 4W, 7D and 24L. Meanwhile Bayern II have 18W, 7D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Subs: Gray 6, Quina 6. Key events 38’ - GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Watford. Salah scores - Mane picks out Salah behind the defence and he cuts onto his right foot in the box, and curls a shot into the top corner past Foster. WATFORD MISS - Deulofeu drives a shot at a tight angle that Alisson palms away. It's into the path of Sarr, who can volley it home, and he misses the connection almost entirely! 50’ - GOAL! Liverpool 2-0 Watford.
The Premier League protocol differs from Uefa protocol in that it does not call for an announcement rather that the individual(s) be dealt with by the Safety Team in the first instance. We have asked that the Premier League clarifies the position regarding the use of these protocols to all stakeholders going forward. In the aftermath of the incident, the Professional Footballers' Association called for a government inquiry.
It was a hard-fought derby. Both teams will feel they did everything they could possibly do. We need more points but we've got 10 games left. The way this group of players is I can't really see us surrendering what we've done so far. But we don't take anything for granted. On relegation: "You can never say never, it's good to get back-to-back wins and we've got two important games coming up [at home to Watford then away at Bournemouth].
Vejle this year managed to play two games back in March this year and won both those games with 1-0 in the end, they have a Romanian coach Galca who I was surprised to see coaching in the 2nd league level in Denmark so this club must really have some good finances as he could really coach any club in Romania and also coached for big money in the Saudi Arabia at Al Taawon with decent results there as well. And his club is used to dominating games and are really attacking minded.
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he is happy for his side to be left out of the Premier League title conversation after an eighth win on the bounce kept the Foxes second in the table. Leicester thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park on Sunday to move back within eight points of league leaders Liverpool, who beat Bournemouth a day earlier. Rodgers, whose side are six points clear of last season's champions Manchester City, is happy for Leicester to keep going about their business under the radar.
Belshina started this season with three losses in a row and then they draw against Neman Grodno 1;1 with the late goal in that clash. The hosts will not be a team that will win games like in the previous season in a lower league. They face much stronger team and they struggle so hard to even score a goal. The visitors started this season not the best and for them this match is important to win. They got a huge chance to win and if they will not use it they will lose 3 important points. My bet here is Asian for Smolevichy
This victory - a 30th PL triumph of 2019 - at their nearest rivals was another statement of intent and all the more impressive on the back of their Club World Cup exploits in Qatar. The Reds have won 26 of their last 27 Premier League games, including 17 of 18 this season. Indeed, neutrals were insisting Leicester needed to win here to ignite any sort of title race and it seems talk will turn to whether the Merseysiders can go the PL campaign unbeaten rather than if anyone can actually catch them.
MONDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Real ready to offer stars in swap deal for Pogba - Paper Round 'Skin colour should not matter' - Fred devastated after Manchester City fan abuse The Warm-Up: Are Manchester United really back? 10:15 - Ljungberg still targeting top-four finish Arsenal interim manager Freddie Ljungberg believes a top-four Premier League finish is possible, despite the Gunners’ inconsistent start to the season.
Real Madrid has 10 points 3 points less than the play-off zone before this round starts, this while Ocotal is one place behind them with 9 points, so a very important game for both these sides if they are to make it to the play-offs at the end of this season they need to win this one. But really, look at Ocotal on the road and you shall see them losing 5-0 away at Esteli, lost 2-0 at Diriangen their last away games also losing 2-1 away at both Ferretti and Jalapa and just a 0-0 draw away at Sabanas which is bottom in the league.
Pellegrini knows that must change. We need to recover in 48 hours and we must try to win our home games because in the last games we played there, we have not collected the amount of points that we need," he said. While West Ham face a relegation battle, Palace's first win in four league games lifted them into the top half of the table.
The players [played with their] souls, and heart and gave absolutely everything. Four matches over two rounds, really hard for the boys. They deserve this happiness. Jose Mourinho won the FA Cup in 2007 during his first spell as Chelsea manager'A chess game without pieces'Mourinho, who was also without midfielder Moussa Sissoko and full-back Ben Davies, spoke in depth about his side's injuries problems after the match.
Aston Villa have lost their last three games. Manchester City have already scored nine goals in two games against Aston Villa this season. Manchester City have only lost two of their last 21 games in this competition, both inflicted on them by Manchester United. Manchester City had a great win in midweek and now head to Wembley for the EFL Cup final.
Scotland out of World Cup amid chaosKerr bemoans 'appalling' refereeingCuthbert on Paris, Piccadilly Circus & ArgentinaBut in the last 10 minutes on the pitch that night in Paris, I felt every emotion I've ever felt. Happiness when Lee Alexander saved the penalty in stoppage-time to keep it 3-2. The world was a brilliant place in that moment. But then anxiety when the referee ordered a retake. My legs were actually shaking because I couldn't believe what was going on.
Odds are pretty solid on goals in this match from Belorussia Reserve league and I will take this over 2,5, even I was hope that I will have and option on over 3,5 what is also more than ok. Home team or Isloch Reserves is playing more than interesting duel in last round in one great match, in who was scored even six goals, 4-2. Slavia Reserves is also very good team and I see here at least two goals of this team. Over is really excellent option, even I was hope, that odds will be just a little better.
At the bottom, Liverpool occupy the WSL's only relegation spot, but it has not yet been decided whether or not a team will go down this summer, nor what will happen regarding promotion from the second tier. Aston Villa are six points clear at the top of the Championship, ahead of Sheffield United in second, with six rounds of games outstanding. The seasons in tiers three to seven of the women's game were formally cancelled in April, with all results declared null and void.
Premier League clubs have unanimously voted to resume contact training as 'Project Restart' moves to phase two. Players will be able to "train as a group and engage in tackling while minimising unnecessary close contact," a statement said. Discussions continue on plans to resume the season when "conditions allow", it added. Premier League players and staff will continue to be tested twice a week for coronavirus.
Going for the 10; it's historic, it's momentous and very special," said Lennon. I know it's been on the tip of a lot of our supporters' tongues and we'll be going all out to do it. Midfielder Callum McGregor says it will be a "monstrous achievement" should Celtic succeed, adding: "We know what's riding on it this season. It would be something I'd be so proud of. Rangers are without a major trophy since 2011, and have fallen out of title contention post-winter break in each of Steven Gerrard's two seasons at the helm.
Arsenal have their troubles in the season but not as much as Norwich, who have now lost all their three matches after the restart. Norwich have been poor in both defence and attack and going to face Arsenal, they will miss defender Timm Klose on suspension and Christoph Zimmermann, Sam Byram and Grant Hanley on injury. Added to their poor scoring run and pressures in the relegation fight, we don’t back the visitors to take much from the Emirates. Arsenal have also had their fair share of tough times. Going to this game, they have not been scoring a lot of goals but have failed to score in just one of their 15 home league matches. Fortunately, they face a side not known for scoring lots of goals and whose lead scorer is also on a dry spell. Based on that, we are backing this game to yield under 2.5 goals.
I watched SV Horn, it is not Horn II like the title suggests, it is the big team, currently inside the relegation places but not because of away performances as they are 3-2-3 on the road while at home they have just one win this season but defeated Austria Vienna II with no less than 5-1 on the road at the start of this season so a game with no less than 6 goals being scored between these two and a good enough reason alone to be taking the over 3.5 goals bet here as well.
Away team is one of the tougher rival in the league, and their recent victories against Rukh and BATE are showing the quality of the squad. Both of those matches were under 2.5 goals, and this is one of the lower average for this season. Torpedo is also very good in the league, and they have beat some of the top rivals in the competition.
However, it is not being trialled in England's top two leagues this season, despite the previous report suggesting controlled tests would have value. The SGSA's report also found:Clubs have developed management strategies appropriate to their stadiums which enable them to deal with persistent standing. Wheelchair platforms can be incorporated into seating areas with barriers. There has been "very little conflict" between fans, or between fans and stewards, as a result of standing in areas with barriers.
Not only that, but we think Palace have a good chance of winning here. They have won nine league away games in 2019 and face a Southampton side that have lost six of their nine home matches this term. With Palace scoring 0.89 goals per away game and Southampton losing 1-0 to West Ham last time out though, we’re not expecting a thriller at St Mary’s and think a 1-0 correct score prediction is the way to go.
No green light for football yet'All the Premier League clubs are committed to playing the 92 remaining fixtures in the season when it is safe to do so. On Friday, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden warned the game is yet to get the "green light". If we can get a plan that works then I'd like us to be able to go ahead with it because I think it would be good for the nation, it would be good for football as a whole," Dowden told BBC Radio 4.
Both Juve Stabia and Livorno received the defeat the day after the COVID epidemic. Juve Stabia lost 1-3 on Pescara and Livorno lost 0-2 at home against Cittadella. Currently, Livorno is monopolizing the bottom position with 18 points less than the safety group so the chances of relegation for them are extremely low. Meanwhile, Juve Stabia is ranked right in the bottom 6 of the group with only 3 points more. Therefore, this is an opportunity for them to work towards victory and increase the gap.
Swindon were below Crewe in the table when the season was stopped in March but are promoted as champions using the points-per-game model as the Robins had a game in handIf you are a player who has either just been relegated or had an average season, then you are probably a bit more worried about things - I have been there myself - and wondering about where you go from here. Those players will be thinking about where their money is going to come from once their current contract ends, but there are other issues to deal with, like a drop in status if you decide to go down a level or two to try to work your way back up.
