Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under huge pressure as he is the favorite coach right now to be sacked. He has been winless in his last 2 games as has lost both 2 games by 2 goals to nil. One was against Liverpool which can be understood but last game was against Burnley.
I believe that home team will not have any problems to win in this duel from Italian Cup and they surely can do it. So, it is the fact that Lazio is this season very good team in all lines. I was watched them in last derby duel against Napoli, where guests were better team, all match, but Lazio is scored and won 1-0. They are also beat before that duel, Juventus in Supercup 3-1, so team is in excellent form. I believe that they will win here easy 2-0 or 3-0, that is pretty clear and real here, really is.

Even then, the Cherries were not done but when they did get the ball in the City net after the break, it was ruled out for the most marginal of offsides. Stanislas cut back inside the box and bent the ball past Ederson but Joshua King was flagged offside after applying the final touch at the far post, and the video assistant referee confirmed the decision by the width of his big toe. It appeared City would get the chance to wrap things up from the spot when Lee Mason awarded them a penalty for Steve Cook's tackle on Jesus, but VAR overruled his decision.

Norwich remain bottom of the table, seven points from safety with five games left, while Brighton's third away win of the season lifts them nine points above the relegation zone.

Ugbade is one of the biggest names in African football," Africa-based sports journalist Oluwashina Okeleji tells BBC Sport. His opinion is respected and if he speaks to you, you listen. There is no limit with him. No excuses. He is a hard trainer but will not stretch you beyond your ability. Still, the tough training was too much for some but, as a skinny teenager who was also smaller than his peers, Ndidi felt such a work ethic would benefit him.
The leagues will not recommence until April 30 at the earliest. They will only do so when it is safe and conditions allow," the statement added, noting that meetings with various involved parties would continue next week.

Bars in Moscow have been screening the Belarusian Premier LeagueThe website noted that, in the light of this, a senior Russian football official's criticism of broadcasts of the Belarusian championship on Russian TV appears to be "ironic". Commenting on a game he watched, Vyacheslav Koloskov likened Belarusian football to "pornography". But FK Slutsk's popularity knows no bounds at the moment. Those worldwide fans have come up with a new club emblem, almost 300 comments were left on the page during their recent defeat by Dinamo Brest, and a report in Poland said some Adelaide residents are even pushing for a twin-city relationship with Slutsk.

Having Haaland and Kane to rotate would give Tottenham strength in depth and also allow them to avoid continuing overplaying the Englishman across all competitions. Why would Haaland choose Spurs? For Haaland there are two possible attractions for joining Spurs. Firstly, he would get to learn off one of the best in the business, a player who has won a World Cup Golden Boot and finished Premier League top-scorer in two separate seasons, doing so with a similar style of game to Haaland’s.

ESTIMATED COST: £70m Kalidou KoulibalyGetty Images 6. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) WHY COULD HE MOVE Because his time appears over at the Emirates. After two and a bit seasons, 49 goals in 74 games, Aubameyang wants to go elsewhere. Arsenal will find it very difficult to hang onto him if they fail to qualify for the Champions League – a distant hope given they sit ninth in the table.
The principality side have lost their last two league games, having been beaten 4-1 by PSG at the Parc des Princes and then 3-1 at home by RC Strasbourg last weekend, leaving them 13th in the standings, eight points off the Champions League spots.

England manager Phil Neville said it was "totally" acceptable for people to question his position after defeat by Spain in their final SheBelieves Cup match - a seventh loss in 11 games. Holders England conceded late to lose 1-0 on Wednesday, six days after being beaten 2-0 by world champions the USA. They have scored just one goal in a narrow win over Japan. I've got to start earning my coin, being a better manager - and the results need to improve," said Neville.
It's not unusual that after a period of brilliance or intensity, one feels a moment of emptiness," says Inma Puig, a psychologist to whom Iniesta eventually turned for help. Torn-muscle injuries in 2009 and 2010 left him sidelined and the death in 2009 of his friend, Dani Jarque, a defender at Espanyol, contributed to his feelings of despair. It was to Jarque that he famously dedicated his 2010 World Cup-winning goal.
Beautifully done. GOAL! Chelsea 0-2 Bayern Munich (Gnabry) Another lush goal! Neuer clears, Lewandowksi wins a header on halfway and Gnabry is off, finding his mate again. Again, Lewandowski puts Gnabry in, this time down the left of the box, and he applies an expert's finish, guided low into the far side-netting.
They have not lost in 10 Premier League games - currently the longest unbeaten run in the top flight. Midfielder Fernandes was brought in from Sporting Lisbon at the end of that month and he has completely revitalised the side from being a slow, ponderous team to one full of attacking intent and dynamism. A clever operator in the final third, Fernandes drives the team forward with his incisive passing and it was his crafty spin on the ball which earned the penalty, although Villa will be aggrieved by the decision made by Jon Moss and supported by VAR.
Action and reaction from Crystal Palace's draw with BurnleyMee epitomises Burnley resolveBurnley continue to find ways to confound expectation. Their first game back saw them hammered at Manchester City on a night overshadowed by a plane flying over the Etihad and arranged by some of their fans, pulling a "White Lives Matter" banner. Phil Bardsley, fresh from signing a new deal, was restored to the side at Selhurst Park, but they were again without Jeff Hendrick and Aaron Lennon (both out of contract this summer), and lost Jack Cork to injury during the game.
Football is trying to do a lot of good," he told TalkSport. To wake up yesterday and see footballers being painted as villains was a bit of a surprise. The health secretary, deflecting blame on to footballers, I don’t think that is right. His job is the responsibility of NHS workers. NHS workers have been underpaid for years.
I spent most of the 70s trying to get some international recognition. My first cap was in 1975, then I got another in 1978. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get yourself noticed and I used to complain a bit to [club manager] Sir Alex Ferguson about it. It was a big game. The thing about Wembley in those days was that it was mostly Scotland fans that were there. Where they got the tickets from, who knows.
Dinamo Zagreb played 3 games this season with Rijeka, they started with the Super Cup won by Dinamo with 1-0 in the end, followed by a game at Rijeka in the league which ended in a 5-0 win for Dinamo but most impressive is that Dinamo scored 4 goals in just 12 minutes from the 14 minute to the 26 minute in that one making it 4-0 and they relaxed for the rest of the game but still scored through Orsic the 5-0 goals in the second half and Orsic scored 3 goals for Dinamo in that one.
Vicki Sparks (BBC Match of the Day and Radio 5 Live commentator) - Vivianne Miedema (3)England has had a great season but if you look at what Miedema has done on the world stage too, she has been unreal. The Bristol City game. What more can you say about that!It's so clear that her and Arsenal fit together well. You see it on the international stage with the Netherlands too because the way those teams play just suits Miedema's style so well.

Liverpool beat Flamengo 1-0 after extra time in Qatar on 21 DecemberHenderson versus Maddison would be a really interesting all-English battle, but I think there will be several similar individual duels going on all over the pitch. Both sets of full-backs are going to have to find the right balance between attack and defence, while Vardy's contest with Virgil van Dijk will be fascinating, and so will seeing how Leicester try to cope with the Liverpool front three.
Team Borussia Mgladbach will host team Wolfsburg. Both teams are neighbors in the table. But difference between our teams is ten points. Both clubs did their last games 3 days ago. My bet will be under 3 goals. Teams are tired. Bayer proved it with their game. Last two h2h games were ended with 3 goals. Wolfs finished last their away game with just one goal. Borussia finished last their league game with 3 goals. Hosts victory with minimal number of goals is the most real result in this match. I recommend to try this bet here for good odds !
And yet United's keeper somehow allowed it to escape his grasp after getting both hands to it. It was a failure of concentration and technique. Youngster Brandon Williams was at fault for gifting the ball to Mount while Victor Lindelof was too easily brushed aside by Giroud - but ultimate responsibility lay with De Gea. Even before that recent error at Spurs, the Spain international was responsible for Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal in the 1-1 draw at Everton, dawdling over a clearance before hitting it against the striker.

In the end it would be better for football. One of the more ridiculous opinions from Mr Ramos, especially as Messi shouldn’t have even won it this year.

They remain in fourth place but have only won one of their last six league games with three of the last five ending in draws. They have only kept one clean sheet in their last nine league games with both teams scoring in four of the last five. Home form is inconsistent with two of their last six home league games being won.
Algeria international Bensebaini converted from the spot after Javi Martinez was sent off for bringing down Marcus Thuram in the box.

RB Leipzig are second on 30, after beating Hoffenheim 3-1 with two goals from Timo Werner.
But that was a rare sight of the Celtic goal. The champions had switched to a back three for this encounter and seemed to have an extra man as they swarmed forward in waves. Frimpong, given even greater licence to bomb forward as a wing-back, was heavily involved, setting up Edouard to fire inches wide and then combining with the same player to break the deadlock after Callum McGregor had forced Marciano into action on a couple of occasions from distance.
Cardiff are lacking away wins this season, but they come into this clash aiming to build on impressive results of late. Their three-game winning run has put them in the frame for a top-six finish, while that run included a 1-0 victory at playoff contenders Nottingham Forest.

He had that initial bounce in results and got some great performances from his players, but can they do that again without any supporters? I am not convinced that they can. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Al's prediction: I have got a soft spot for Watford, particularly Troy Deeney, who is a thoroughly good guy. He has been quite outspoken recently about making LGBTQ people inclusive in football and hopefully a lot of positives will come from that.

However, the champions are still a whopping 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.

Bohemians are 2nd from bottom when it comes to them playing games away from home this season with a record of just 1-2-10 for them so far with 12 goals scored and no less than 30 goals conceded but at home they have won 25 points and with 30 points total they are really just 3 points away from exiting the relegation group at this point as in their first game after the restart they won with no less than 4-0 at home against Teplice, and even though Ceske is a better opponent they have right now 3 losses in a row in the league.
Saprissa is on first place on the table and best road team in the league so obviously they are favorites for the win here and for me there is no doubts that they will score a goal in this match tonight but one goal is most probably not going to be enough because Santos is very good offensive team with bad defense and their results before the break were 1-3 6-2 and 3-4 so for me it is very realistic both teams will score a goal here and despite the odd is not so high I surely recommend this bet
