Having watched his team lose two Bundesliga fixtures on the bounce, interim Bayern boss Hans-Dieter Flick could resist any temptations to change his own XI around too much however, and that should considerably heighten Die Roten's chances of turning a weakened Tottenham team over.
City, who have won the last two Premier League titles are now focused on securing a top four place. There has not been much wrong with what we have done in terms of points and performance," said Guardiola, whose side have taken 60 points from 29 games this season. He added: "We have ideas for the transfer market, then next season we will prepare to fight again.
The kick-off may have been in the evening but even the journey to the stadium, made hours before, saw streets crammed with supporters gathering to witness what they believed would be a Brazil victory. And then there was the emotion. Lots of it. Too much of it, you now reflect, and Brazil's players and fans were unable to even think straight. So much of it centred around the absence of Neymar, Brazil's superstar and poster boy for the whole showpiece, who had been left injured and in tears after being roughed up by Colombia in the quarter-finals.
Nimes head to this game with a very inferior run and it is not helped by their poor run at home. They face a Reims side on a much better run and definitely the favorites here. Nimes are not very prolific upfront; they have failed to score in seven of their last 15 matches while they have no clean sheet in the last five Ligue 1 matches. On the other hand, Reims do not score a lot of goals; they have scored two or more in just two of the last 15 matches and only four of their last 15 matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Based on this, we will go with a bet of under 2.5 goals for this clash.
Liverpool great Souness has used his Sky Sports punditry and Times column to take swipes of Pogba, labelling him "a bit of a YouTuber" and "an absolute doddle to play against". He has also suggested Manchester United "had their trousers down paying £100 million" for the Frenchman. However, when asked about the criticism, Pogba insists he initially did not know who the three-time European Cup winner was.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side need someone to provide competition to Lukasz Fabianksi and replace Roberto, who has so far done dreadfully in his time with the club. Paper Round’s view: Roberto might be a perfectly decent ‘keeper but his performances so far have probably ruined his chances of ever establishing himself in the Premier League.
However, Freiburg have endured a drop in form in recent weeks. Breisgau-Brasilianer have failed to win four of their last five Bundesliga fixtures. They have lost three of their last four Bundesliga games, including their most recent two. We feel that Freiburg's recent drop in form could hurt them going into this Saturday's clash with Schalke.
Haugesund and Odd will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eliteserien in Norway. Haugesund this season have the following results: 8W, 13D and 8L. Meanwhile Odd have 15W, 7D and 7L. This season both these teams had some high scoring matches and attacking football is probable in the last round in the league.
Reading is in amazing form right now. They have won their last match against Preston by 2-0 goals. They enjoyed an excellent Christmas period. They have won their last 4 matches and will be in very confidence. They also have a good FA cup home record as they won 6 of their last 7 FA cup matches at home. Blackpool, in contrast, are winless in five matches. They have drawn 3 of them. They will play very much defensive here and this is a cup match and they will try to draw and play the second leg in their own ground.
Josep Maria Bartomeu doesn't trust Abidal for all that happened this winter, particularly the failure to land Xavi Hernandez or a new forward. Bartomeu himself might not be in the job for much longer as presidential elections are set to take place next summer. The same probably applies for recently-appointed head coach Quique Setien, who has only been in the job a matter of weeks and now has a minefield to navigate.
The other nominees on the five-player shortlist for the BBC World Service award were Australia and Chelsea striker Sam Kerr and USA and Chicago Red Stars midfielder Julie Ertz. Bronze received her award at her home in ManchesterBronze's 2019 included being named Uefa's Women's Player of the Year and finishing as runner-up in the women's Ballon d'Or, behind Rapinoe.

Knight has written to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters calling for action on player wages, saying clubs which furlough non-playing staff but do not impose cuts on player wages should be subjected to a windfall tax if they do not change approach by Tuesday, 7 April. The purpose of the coronavirus job retention scheme is not to support the economics of Premier League clubs," Knight wrote.

Southend are second bottom, with the worst points return in the division. They’re being propped up by Bolton’s troubles, but the visitors are still heading towards relegation. The away side have fallen 11 points shy of safety even in a season which sees only three sides facing the drop from League One. Can they turn around their campaign in this trip?
West Bromwich Albion chief executive Mark Jenkins has said he will not receive pay while the UK is in lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic. Executives and management at a number of clubs have taken pay deferrals for the period that football is suspended. Football in England is currently suspended indefinitely. Jenkins said that "other members of the senior management team have also offered to take significant reductions in their remuneration".
Arsenal finally tasted victory again after coming from behind to beat West Ham 3-1 at the London Stadium. See alsoMatchcast: West Ham v Arsenal The Gunners arrived in east London on a nine-game winless run – their worst spell since 1977 – and looked set for more despair when Angelo Ogbonna’s header took a wicked deflection and nestled in their net.
Webb acknowledged that the foul to which Ibrahimovic referred had occurred outside the box but said no camera angle had conclusively proved that the referee had made a mistake, hence the original decision stood, much to the Swede's chagrin. Webb, the former top-level English referee who took charge of the 2010 World Cup final between Spain and the Netherlands, declined to comment on the implementation of VAR in England or elsewhere, saying it was up to each league to use the technology as it saw fit.
Slavia will against Ruh Brest in match Belarusia Premier league. My prediction this match could be the win for Slavia with margin score is 2 goals. Slavia have great result on last 3 match in league due to Slavia have won in 2 match and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Ruh Brest have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Ruh Brest only have won in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Slavia can beat Ruh Brest due to Slavia on last 6 match in league and cup that Slavia only have lose in 1 match. Surely Slavia have more chance to win on this match.
The letter also suggested the start of next season could be delayed. Looking more long-term, the EFL must remain mindful of the implications that the extension of this season may have on the commencement of the 2020-21 campaign, although we will ensure there is a suitable break between the two, so as to allow clubs and staff sufficient time to regroup and prepare accordingly," it added. I think there will be a sigh of relief as and when we reach that point, and what is clear right now is that Covid-19 continues to present hugely challenging and uncertain times for everyone, and our thoughts are with all those directly affected by the pandemic.
Posted at 71' Foul by Christopher Jullien (Celtic). Posted at 71' Nikola Katic (Rangers) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Ryan Kent scored on 36 minutes to put the away side ahead. However Odsonne Edouard hit back three minutes before the end of the first half to level the scores. A little over 10 minutes after the restart, Nikola Katic grabbed what would prove to be the winner.
Looking back now it seems crazy, but when I first trained with Sergio Aguero after he joined Manchester City in 2011, I did not instantly think 'superstar'. Sometimes when a new player arrives at your club, you see him in action with your own eyes and just think 'wow'. That was happening a lot at City at the time, because of the kind of big signings we were making that were transforming the club, but it was not the case with Sergio.
Sorry, Pep. We don't make the rules. The state of Dortmund It's been a rough week for every neutral's second-favourite team (after Chelsea, obviously): Borussia Dortmund. At the weekend they went 3-0 down to relegation certainties Paderborn, and though they managed to claw that game back to a draw, there's a real end of days feeling about Lucien Favre's reign.
Gornik Zabrze have no in their last 10 matches. They are in poor run of form right now. They have managed to win only 3 matches in their 15 fixtures. They bagged 16 points in 15 matches so far this season. They are coming off a defeat against Legia Warszawa by 5-1 goals. On the other hand, Wisla Plock have won 2, lost 3 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches. They are in good form right now and can possess serious threat against the home side. Both teams need points here. I expect them to cancel each other out.
We're also backing a 2-1 win for Aberdeen, as it won't be an easy affair for the visitors. We believe Hearts will put up a good fight that will see them score at least once like they've done so in three of their last six games at Tynecastle- as well as the fact the Dons have conceded at least one time in their last four away matches.
Xanthi has only mathematical hopes for the playoffs after beating Atromitos 1-0 in Peristeri. It ignores the win in the last seven games (0-3-4) and only wants to win the PAOK to get into the playoffs, and at the same time not to win Asteras, Atromitos and OFI losing.
Borussia Dortmund are in top form and had an easy win last weekend. Away form was patchy earlier in the season but had been improved before the Bundesliga was suspended. With league leaders Bayern Munich likely to beat Eintracht Frankfurt, Dortmund can't afford to drop points at Wolfsburg. The home side are battling to get into the Europa League but haven't got the best of home form, go for an away victory here.
In no way condones’? Good lord. It does no good to say ‘we do not agree’ – you have to expressly condemn it, promise to investigate and announce you’ll ban for life anyone found engaging in a hate crime. Because that’s what this is. It should be noted that the statement doesn’t appear on West Ham’s Twitter feed or even their website, when a strong message could have been sent to anyone even thinking about engaging in homophobia at football again.
Morecambe will host Plymouth Argyle for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors are favorites in this match. Plymouth are more ambitious team in this season. Plymouth are currently on the 3rd place with 68 points. They probably want to stay in the race for higher range. Also, they have two consecutive victories. On the other hand Morecambe is one of the main outsiders in the league. They are currently on the 22th place with 32 points. Also, they are not convincing team lately. In previous game Morecambe lost 1-0 against Newport. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
Chinese football has been hit hard by the outbreak, with the start of the Chinese Super League pushed back indefinitely from its intended Feb. Fellaini, however, is the first player in the country's top flight to have returned a positive test for the virus. Brazilian striker Dori, who plays for second division side Meizhou Hakka, was confirmed as having the virus last week while Spain-based China international Wu Lei said he was recovering from the condition on Saturday.
Burnley ended new champions Liverpool's hopes of completing the season with a 100% Premier League home record thanks to Jay Rodriguez's second-half equaliser. Clarets striker Rodriguez swivelled and fired home from inside the box following a James Tarkowski header to reward Sean Dyche's side for their resilience and persistence in the face of large periods of home dominance. The visitors could even have left Anfield with all three points, but Johann Berg Gudmundsson fired an effort against the crossbar with just minutes remaining.
