But those two were still always our best players, so it didn't matter. We had Gareth Barry and Nigel de Jong in midfield to do all their donkey work for them. You could never accuse David of being lazy, though, and in any case he has not stopped adding different aspects to his game. He works so hard now - you don't play for Pep otherwise - and he is also so versatile in terms of his position, which is another thing that people might not have noticed about him.
Defender Max Taylor, 19, has received his first senior call-up, 12 months after having chemotherapy treatment for testicular cancer. Striker Mason Greenwood, 18, is also in the squad, having scoring his first Premier League goal in Sunday's 3-3 draw at Sheffield United. He scored his first senior goal as United won 1-0 at home to Astana in their opening group game, becoming the Premier League club's youngest scorer in European competition at the age of 17 years, 353 days.
Forest Green Rovers will host Scunthorpe United for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 35 points. Hosts have an effective attack. They have a solid defense. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy job. Also, we have Scunthorpe Utd who's is very average team in this campaign. They are currently on the 16th place with 21 points. True, Scunthorpe are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to remain unbeaten. Maybe this is - draw.. My pick - Scunthorpe to win.
Osmar Legal did not clarify what the crimes were but told Brazilian news site Globoesporte "there are indications that other crimes were committed" by Ronaldinho and his brother and business manager, Roberto Assis. Ronaldinho's lawyer did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Ronaldinho, the ex-Barcelona, Paris Saintt-Germain, AC Milan and Gremio forward, and Roberto were remanded in custody on Saturday after being caught trying to enter Paraguay using doctored passports.
Hull City manager Grant McCann told BBC Radio Humberside:"We're relieved to get a point as we were 2-1 down in the 95th minute and we were coming away with zero points. We were poor in the first half and nowhere near the standards that we set. We just kept giving the ball away. We started the second half bright and scored a good goal through Jarrod Bowen but to concede so quickly afterwards was disappointing.
Everton caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson says it is not "realistic" to expect him to take the role on a permanent basis. The 47-year-old, who made 239 league appearances for Everton in his playing career, scoring 60 goals, is filling in following Marco Silva's sacking. I think the club will find a really top manager to come," he said. It is a dream of mine to be the Everton manager, but let's be realistic.
Parma meets Lecce in a match of a round in Italy Serie A. Parma are 9th on the league table with 25 points from 18 league matches, while the visiting team Lecce are 17th on the league table with 15 points from 18 matches. Lecce are just one point above the relegation zone. Parma aim to bounce back from a heavy 5 - 0 loss to Atalanta. The host have 24 goals and conceded 25 in their last 18 matches. The away have 22 goals and conceded 36 in their last 18 matches. I am taking Parma to win . Tip : 1
GOAL! Leicester City 0-2 Liverpool. Milner comes off the bench and fires his spot kick down the middle, with Schmeichel diving away to his left. The penalty was awarded after Söyüncü handled in the area from TAA's corner. GOAL! Leicester City 0-3 Liverpool. Firmino guides his second of the night into the far corner from another TAA ball from the right.
He plays with a maturity and vision way beyond his years and while England manager Gareth Southgate chose to take in Everton's meeting with Manchester United at Goodison Park, any report he receives on one of his young brigade from Wembley will be glowing. When Manchester City started to fashion openings after a brief opening burst from Villa, Foden showed his game awareness when Sergio Aguero put them ahead after 20 minutes.
Aston Villa have two away wins in 17 league matches this season. Everton have six clean sheets in 17 home league matches. Everton have not lost in their last 10 home league matches. Aston Villa have no away clean sheet in 17 away league matches. It has not been a very fruitful season for Everton and as they host Aston Villa in the 36th round of matches, the Toffees will be looking to engineer a strong run towards the finish.
Anthony Yukari league, this one I will bet on U 2.5 goals. Price for the under should be at 1,49 and we're betting at 1,50, not much of a value in numbers but there is value on the choice itself. The last 2 matches between these 2 teams ended up as an under 2.5 goals result, one match in august and another one in October last year. Their league has only a few teams so they play 4 matches against each other per season and they are very balanced teams with very narrow results normally. We can see some ending over 2.5 but normally is under
In terms of our correct score tip, we think that there will be very little to choose between the two sides. The hosts have scored in two thirds of their home matches this season and average 1.5 goals per game on home soil, but with 13 goals conceded in five matches, we expect their defence to leak again. The visitors average 1.46 goals per game on the road, so backing a 2-1 away win looks to be the way to go.

It was a bitter blow for the visitors after putting in a battling display at Goodison Park, but ultimately they paid the price for failing to show similar fight in previous games this season. A promising start to 2019-20, in which they lost only three of their first 11 games, proved to be a false dawn. But their form nosedived and a run of 19 defeats in their last 25 games meant they plummeted into trouble.
An arbitration panel appointed by the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) found he had terminated his contract and fined him 61,000 euros (£50,701). So Riza appealed, first to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), then the Swiss Federal Court, and ultimately to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Last month, Riza - who has retired as a player and is now coaching at Watford's academy - heard he had finally won a decade-long legal battle.
Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has written to some of the club's supporters to apologise for breaking coronavirus lockdown guidelines twice. Walker put a message on social media on Friday detailing how he had travelled to South Yorkshire to visit his sister and parents at different addresses, and said he felt "harassed" by the media. He received at least one message personally, as well as others via the club, from fans expressing displeasure and got in touch with supporters after accepting his actions were wrong.
Hibs have seen a lot of goals scored in their recent matches at home, with the hosts netting at least twice in their last four games. We're backing them to score over 1.5 team goals as they have scored an average of 1.75 on home turf and 2.25 in their last four. As for a final score, we're going for 2-2. Three of the Hibees last four games ended with that scoreline and the Dons have scored more than two goals twice in their previous four away days.

Things havent really got going for Central Coast so far this season. They were hoping to put another disappointing campaign behind them but it appears to be the same old story for the side with just three wins from nine this season and 14 goals conceded.
Manchester City just have to keep winning if they want to get back into title contention. They had a good victory at the weekend and will be heartened by the fact that Aguero came on late in the game. Wolves won 2-1 at Norwich but aren't in the best of form at home. City can be backed to get an away win in this game, most likely taking them to second in the Premier League.
It is totally real to expect very easy home win in this match from Scotland Premier league. This season, Celtic is have maybe some bigger job in fight for title, because their biggest rival and city rival - Rangers is much stronger, than it was the case in last few years. That is reason why Celtic is not have huge advantage on the table and that is mean that they must play with their maximum every match. Hearts is last on the table and even they are not have bad players, they will not have any chances in this match, that is clear.
Ritchie was unfortunate not to open the scoring five minutes later when headed wide from Gayle's delivery, before striking the foot of the post via Rodriguez's deflection. Gayle and Ritchie both went close in the second half but the hosts managed just one effort on target after the restart - a low shot from second-half substitute Allan Saint-Maximin that was easily held by Pope.

Before the game, their bus pulled up next to ours. Oleksiy showed us a champagne bottle before the game, getting ready to celebrate. Kuznetsov alleges that McCoist told him the Scotland players were still drunk from the night before and therefore their opponents did not need to worry. But it quickly became evident that was not the case. Scotland ran out 3-0 winners, ending CIS' qualification hopes and sending Germany through.
Meanwhile, Villa have been living off the Carabao Cup final and I think it will cost them a place in the Premier League in the end. Did you know? Only Stuart Armstrong (five) created more chances than Djenepo (four) in Southampton's 2-0 win over Aston Villa. Bruno Fernandes: This lad looked good on his Premier League debut, but to be taking Manchester United's penalties so early in his career at Old Trafford is a statement in itself.
Guadalupe will host Deportivo Saprissa for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have a great chance to get all three points. Saprissa is the best team in this season. Also, Saprissa are in solid shape. They have four consecutive victories. In any case, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, we have Guadalupe who's is very average team in this season. True, they are not convincing team. They have big fluctuations. So, Saprissa are more ambitious team. I think, the visitors will go in this game to victory.
Blades frustrated but play well againWhile this was Sheffield United's first defeat in seven games, it was a fourth consecutive game without a win - a run that may be starting to concern some fans following their fine early-season form. But recent results are perhaps not a fair reflection of their performances. Against Newcastle, they once again played some slick, expansive football and had their opponents pegged back in their own half for almost the entirety of the game.
Craiova caused serious trouble even for the CFR Cluj defense which has been the best in the league so far this season even though losing at home 2-0 last round that game they were really good once more up-front as for example in the other 3 games played by them after the winter break they scored no less than 10 goals while also conceding 4 times as they won 3-1 at home with same Gaz Metan Medias and also 5-2 at Iasi and 2-1 at Viitorul, their attack is really top quality for this league level.
So it is a shame to see some Premier League clubs furloughing staff, when it seems avoidable. The scheme was not brought in to help companies who have made millions of pounds in the past few years. It was meant for smaller businesses who could go bust, and whose staff might not have a job to go back to otherwise. Liverpool have already reversed their decision over the weekend to furlough some non-playing staff, but there are other Premier League clubs who do not come out of this too well with the decision they have made and, so far, stuck with.
So to Anfield, with both sides confident of doing the necessary; Liverpool will expect to play better, Atleti will expect to score, and everyone else will expect something serious. TALKING POINT Liverpool are still too dry in midfield. Jurgen Klopp knows Liverpool lack creativity in midfield; he tried to sign Nabil Fekir the summer before last - had the deal gone through, the likelihood is that Liverpool would have won the title - and now he has Takumi Minamino.

One thing is a nice reaction, another thing is support. So I think a nice reaction is probably to me but then during the game the support will be for Solskjaer - that's the nature of the game. That's the nature of a place with an incredible history and with fans that understand clearly what the passion for a club is.

Stabaek is going to face Mjondalen for the first leg of the Norwegian season. The hosts played well in the previous season and it seems to be like another good year for this team. They played really well in the friendlies before the start of this season and in this clash they are also favorites. The visitors played badly and they have to prove that it was only a mistake. My bet for this match will be over 2.5 goals. Both teams score many goals in their matches and in the last head to head clashes we usually saw 3 goals or more

In contrast, their opponents on Saturday Newcastle, have played themselves into their best form of the season in recent weeks and the Magpies came from behind to beat Southampton at St. James' Park on Sunday, scoring an 87th minute winner that is certain to galvanize their new found momentum.
De Jong - he next season of Barcelona and this season of a complete and utter disregard of the concept of pressure – led the Dutch charge. The introduction of Jesse Lingard for the muted Jadon Sancho failed to get a hold of the central areas as the game was now rolling to De Jong’s rhythm. The midfield swagger of De Jong became ever-increasingly pronounced but, rather than De Jong, it was his Ajax colleague De Ligt who made up for his first-half misstep, with a thunderous header from a set-piece situation to level the tie.

Teams were playing in the third rank of the league in Belarus at the previous season, and they both place in this one. Host was the champion with five points more than first rival and they should be considered as favorite here. However, looking at the results in the pre season, there should not be such a big advantage in this one for them.
Anti-racism body Kick It Out says it has been "inundated" with reports of alleged racist abuse from a number of fans in Saturday's Manchester derby. United midfielder Fred also seemed to be hit by an object thrown from the crowd when the Brazilian went to take a corner midway through the second half. We hope swift action is taken to identify the offenders," Kick It Out said in a statement. Video footage showed one man appearing to make monkey gestures at Fred.
However, Blackburn have got a decent scoring edge so far this season. The visitors have found the net in their last two games, despite the injury to attacking midfielder Bradley Dack. Rovers have also scored in each of their last six away trips in the Championship, while they have found the net in 83% of their away games this season. With five of the last six clashes between these two seeing both teams score, we’re backing a repeat on Wednesday.

Hertha Berlin and Augsburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Hertha Berlin this season have the following results: 9W, 7D and 11L. Meanwhile Augsburg have 8W, 6D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Newcastle improved and after Miguel Almiron struck the post, they equalised when Fabian Schar fired home a volley from Andy Carroll's nod-down. But six minutes after setting up the equaliser, Carroll's mistake led to Everton's winner. Theo Walcott dispossessed the striker and played a pass out wide to Richarlison. The Brazilian sped down the right and delivered an excellent low cross for Calvert-Lewin, who slid in and scrambled home.
