He had his doubters even towards the end of last season but it is unlikely he will be underestimated again. Fabinho, arguably Liverpool's best player before he sustained a knee injury against against Napoli in the Champions League in November, has not been able to regain his best form since his return to action. The idea of Ross Barkley running from inside his own half to seal the deal is a lot harder to contemplate when Henderson and Fabinho are in top form.
After the early promise, the lack of game-time under Lage has hindered Fernandes’ development, and it would therefore be difficult to judge whether he is capable of challenging for a regular starting spot at Old Trafford.

How did Lawro do last week?From last weekend's Premier League fixtures, Lawro and Formula E driver Sam Bird both got two correct results, with no exact scores from eight games for a total of 20 points.
But I just don't trust the Gunners defensively - you can't, because it is still the same players, regardless of who is in charge. Chelsea are so inconsistent at the moment too. I watched their defeat by Southampton last time out and, as frustrating as they were in that game, I would not be surprised if they played much better here. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Avelino's prediction: Willian looked like Lionel Messi when Chelsea beat Tottenham last week.
I can live with the fact that referees are human beings who make mistakes but now when technology makes a mistake, that is a problem," he said.

Gorodeya could not have asked for a better time than this to host BATE, Bate is one of the title contenders but they are yet to hit their top form. The hosts may have lost the first two matches but then they made a good turnaround and won 3 games. Their defense is very tightened up and is extremely difficult to break down. They won 3 consecutive games with 1-0 scoreline. With BATE's unpredictable form this season it is not easy to predict the outcome here. They lost 3-1 at Energetic and 2-1 at Slavia, then they won against FC Minsk. Gorodeya have remained unbeaten in the last 4 home games Against Bate and here another good performance is ready to come.

Both clubs are from the first league level in Vietnam but interesting is that Nam Dinh played about 9 friendly games before the normal season started and ended up losing 8 of them and one of their biggest losses was at Hai Phong their opponents in this encounter where they ended up losing the game with no less than 5-1 in the end. The attack of Nam Dinh is really not that bad having watched them play with Pho Hien from the 2nd league a week ago but even against their opponent they really struggled in defense and at the end scored an own goal to win 2-1 in the end.
Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson explained the importance of the change at Ifab's recent AGM, saying "the shoulder itself doesn't really have an opportunity to make the body bigger whereas the arms do". The "T-shirt line" or armpit - essentially where the sleeve on a T-shirt ends - will become a key marker on the player's body for match officials, with anything below that being handball. Jonathan Ford, chief executive of the Football Association of Wales, explained the law change as "basically a clarification as to where exactly does the arm start in the case of handball and where does the shoulder finish".
this fixture is between two capable teams one a Getafe team who are eyeing a champions league fixture next season and one ajax team who are seeking to redeem themselves from a slow season. These two teams are fully capable of a win but emphasis needs to be placed on the fact that a straight win prediction will be a tricky prediction therefore this has prompted a goals prediction .I am going to go with a cautious prediction that puts much emphasis on a single goal being the main prediction. However both teams are capable of more goals regardless n
After a leg in the first round when he lost to his underrated opponent, Goteborg regained his spirit by winning 3 points against rookie of the league, Varberg. This is a predictable result, although in the opening round Varberg had caused a bit of surprise when defeating Helsingborg. Meanwhile, with Mjallby, as expected, this team shows that they are not strong enough to fight in the Swedish 1st arena when 2 consecutive games must receive defeat against Malmo and Falkenberg. What Mjallby has shown in the past rounds is not convincing and very weak. In addition, Goteborg wants to take advantage of the opportunity to meet weak opponents to accumulate points for the journey ahead. In fact, in the last 5 home games against similarly qualified teams, Goteborg won 3 and drew 1 and lost only 1. So it is hard to hope that Mjallby will make a surprise in the competition. this.

Brest and Nantes face each other for the first time this year. Starting with the foreigners, they started very well the season with great results nobody was expecting. They were in first place for while and then second. In the last couple months things started to fall apart as it was expected. Others teams started to settle in and Nantes is not really one of the best, so they started losing a lot. Brest came from Ligue 2 not too long ago but they are doing great. They have a team that doesn't feel strong but plays strong. I predict a draw
It was a display of normality which millions of football followers are missing as the world continues to tackle this devastating pandemic. This familiarity worked its charm on me for two hours, and you get the impression the Belarusian Premier League will not follow the status quo any time soon. Not if it keeps increasing in popularity, anyway.
It is just as well then that Hodgson's team had won four straight games, all with clean sheets, either side of the restart to put them in a safe place in the table, away from a relegation fight. Only bottom side Norwich have scored fewer than Palace's 30 goals this season, which is three fewer than their lowest tally in the top-flight.

This is football game from Persian Gulf pro league, naft masjed soleyman fc a will play against Sepahan. It is a very difficult match because there is no quality difference between these two teams. My bet for this match is draw. They hosts are currently sitting on 8th spot in the league table.

Budge was the co-chair of a reconstruction group whose plans faltered earlier in May after top-flight clubs indicated they would not support them in a ballot.
