At the other end: nothing. Nothing at all, with a great and terrible intensity. Liverpool, currently 25 points clear of the entire nation of England and already qualified for next season’s Champions League, had 73% of the ball and managed precisely zero shots on target. Their much vaunted front three made little impression on Atleti’s well organised back line, and nor did super-sub Divock Origi.
They are ahead of everyone else - including Liverpool's front line (51) and Borussia Dortmund's 48 (Jadon Sancho, Erling Braut Haaland and Marco Reus). Lukaku has scored 25 goals for Inter this season, which would make him United's top scorer - but Inter's next two top scorers have only got a combined 22. Atalanta (52) and Lazio (48) are among the other teams with prolific scorers who cannot match United's trio.
Premier League sides are set to take legal action if such a move is pursued by the governing body. Paper Round’s view: There is no justification to stop freedom of movement regardless of the resolution of the first stage of Brexit, as it unfairly curtails the quality of the league at a time when many young British players are finally taking a leap of faith to join foreign sides.
The two weakest teams in the main round are still in last and bottom position in the relegation round. 3 points have to be made up and so it is an immensely important game for both teams. Both teams have the weakest attack, specifically the home team is the worst in that regard, they scored only 17 goals in 32 rounds, the guest scored four more. The stakes are certainly high, I expect a sickening match with little chance of a goal. The last match ended without goals. Before that there was one goal. Pribram has even been a bit strong at home recently, but away from home improved little, the two games of the main round were decidedly close with 0-0 and 1-0, so I also expect here and with a draw in the end.
City won 3-0 in Ukraine at the opening stage of this group stage against Shakhtar, they were part of the same group last season as well winning 6-0 at home and 3-0 away from home at Shakhtar, much bigger win at home of course, as Shakhtar simply cannot defend, they rarely defend in Ukraine where they are top team, and City does not take the foot off the pedal especially in home games, they need the win here they are sure of 1st place and should easily get it.

Who benefits in this instance?The incident only becomes an issue because VAR's 'seek and destroy' policy on these matters exists in the first place. Why people have felt the necessity to meddle with the greatest game in the world I don't know but they are in danger of doing the game irreparable damage. The implementation of the new law has been a disaster and so has VAR. Why the best league in the world has been subjected to such drastic changes is a complete and utter mystery to me.
Odds are not big as I expected. Still I found visitors as better team now with much bigger chances to win this game. Last games Locomotives played very well. Against Varazdin they were much better opponent and created many chances. They were up at halftime 2-0 and in second half they slow down. Inter Zapresic Is far from good form. They manage to lose from that same Varazdin 1-2 at home and for me that is also good sign how much visitors are better team. Only thing that worry me is H2H. Zapresic had much more success at home so far. Away win!
It's heading in but Long, who was making a run across the box, blocks it! 47’ - Penalty shout for Southampton! Quick feet from Ings, who skips into the box but goes down under Fabinho's challenge. No penalty given. GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Southampton (Oxlade-Chamberlain). Liverpool go from end to end. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cuts inside after collecting Firmino's flick, picks his spot and drives to score against his old club.
In Armenia, we expect Alashkert to face one another with Shirak for a Premier League match which will be held at Alashkert Stadium, Yerevan city. In the table the teams lie close to each other where Alashkert takes position 2 with 37 points after playing 22 matches while Shirak takes position 3 with 36 points after playing 22 matches.
I know this is the reserve league but Kilmarnock should be able to win this considering they are better team if it comes to form. Queens of south is the worst team in this league they struggling to get results both home and away. I don't actually see them scoring in this match considering how poor they are. The home team should be able to score 2 or more goals. Their form is also not the best but they are far much better team compared to the away side. under 3.5 goals looks good for this match too because I expect the away side to stay back
Read the full story London rivals battle for Lemar loan deal Premier League clubs Chelsea and Tottenham are set to go head-to-head in the battle to sign Atletico Madrid winger Thomas Lemar.

The side have averaged 1.15 goals per game this season, a figure that is reasonable for a side in the bottom half but they’ll need to improve that figure to get themselves out of trouble. 52% of their games have been the over 2.5 goal line with the same figure when it comes to both teams scoring.
MP is newly promoted to 2nd league level where they are preparing to start soon and they have been really impressive in the friendly games they have played in this start of this year, in this competition they crushed another 2nd league club in MyPa with 5-1, also winning 2-1 with Gnistan while prior to those two games they played two friendly games against first league sides and won 2-0 with Lahti and drew 2-2 with KuPs so quite solid team this Mikkelin side.
It’ll never happen, but here’s the report: "Now, Premier League clubs are scrambling, in some cases increasingly desperately, for ideas to complete the season on the field. As the industry seeks to stay afloat, the ideas are becoming more creative. For example, The Athletic learned on Thursday that one club has even suggested exploring the feasibility of completing the domestic season abroad.
Given the indifferent form of Besiktas and the apparent good run for the visitors it’s hard to call this game it what you would think would be pretty simplistic on paper. However, I’m going to tip both teams to score here and would also recommend a side bet on over 2.5 goals.
In view of supporter sentiment regarding the scheme, it is now not our intention to make use of the current CJRS that runs until the end of May. We shall consult with stakeholders, including the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust with whom we have been in dialogue over the past week and who share our desire to protect jobs, should circumstances change going forward.
In their last 10 league matches at home, Schalke have no loss; they have won five and drawn five and in the last five league games at home, they have scored two or more in three. This season in the Bundesliga, at home, they have only lost to Bayern Munich. Schalke beat Leipzig 3-1 away in the first leg and will be hoping to complete a double when the league title contenders come calling.

Manager Nick Cushing to leave Manchester CityGoodison Park to host WSL Merseyside derby Pauline Bremer's double against Everton took her tally to nine league goals for the seasonThe Gunners can re-open a three-point cushion with victory at Brighton on Saturday and, in a tight title race, City - who registered 24 shots during the game - could well rue their failure to score more. Having enjoyed a first-minute let-off when City keeper Ellie Roebuck diverted Hannah Cain's shot on to the bar, Germany striker Bremer turned the game the hosts' way.
Neither of these two teams are performing at their top levels at this moment in time with Stevenage playing out a 0-0 draw at home to Colchester last time out and going seven games in all competitions without a win, while Port Vale were knocked out of the FA Cup by Man City and then lost 3-0 to Salford in the EFL Trophy.
It's looking increasingly likely that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are going to miss out on Champions League football once again, so why wouldn't Pogba want to play in Europe's elite competition? Especially if a club that actually has a chance of lifting the trophy comes knocking. The 26-year-old certainly has the quality to star for one of these clubs, he just needs to regain his confidence.
Le Graet previously said Deschamps' contract would be extended if France qualified for the 2020 European Championships. Les Bleus achieved that goal in November and have been drawn in a group with 2014 world champions Germany, reigning European champions Portugal and an as yet unknown team who will qualify through the play-offs. Deschamps, who was captain when France became world champions in 1998, previously had a contract that was due to expire after Euro 2020.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Joel's prediction: United are just on fire at the moment. They are looking like United again, and that is the first time I have said that in a long while. Bruno Fernandes has made such a difference there and is the sort of signing that Arsenal need in that he is not just an excellent player himself, he seems to be able to make other people play well too. Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
The Oman Football Association made the announcement on its social media channels late on Sunday, a month after Koeman's departure.

You can't defend this. Fans were walking out after 85 minutes. People at the top need to see this and make changes and put a plan in place. Young kids in schools around the country won't be wearing Man United shirts, they won't be wanting to come here and see this," he said. Nothing there suggests this is laying the foundation of future.

Like Arsenal at home, Brighton have conceded too many goals on their travels, conceding 13 in seven matches, keeping two clean sheets and conceding two or more in five out of seven, as well as in each of their last four. On a slightly more positive note, Graham Potter's men have scored in each of their last three away, notching against both Man United and Liverpool, which bodes well ahead of a match against an Arsenal rear-guard that is without a clean sheet since the first week of October.
Posted at 52' Attempt saved. Antoine Griezmann (Barcelona) left footed shot from the left side of the box is saved in the bottom left corner. Assisted by Clément Lenglet. Philippe Coutinho scored an excellent hat-trick and Robert Lewandowski two more as Bayern Munich thrashed Werder Bremen. Brazilian Coutinho tapped home Bayern's first before an outrageous lob for his second and then curled a 20-yard shot for his hat-trick.
Athletic, who beat champions Barca earlier this season, gave an astute performance in defence and also gave their hosts a few scares, with Kenan Kodro having a goal ruled out for offside and Inaki Williams forcing Thibaut Courtois to make a diving save. It was Real's third draw in a row after 1-1 and 0-0 stalemates away to Valencia and Barca.
two teams from the middle and their quality is pretty similar,Dundee is favorite for the win in this one because Dunfermline is in terrible shape with 5 defeats in a row, but still that streak must stop and I think they are not going to be defeated again tonight but also it is hard to believe they could win so I think Dunfermline is finally going to play draw because that did not happen for a very long time on their games and on this odd I am surely going to give it a shot but I do not recommend it

Pep Guardiola might well be facing the toughest challenge of his managerial career. In the top-flight seasons in which Guardiola has won titles across Europe's major leagues, he has never had to overcome a gap as large as 11 points - the current margin between leaders Liverpool and his Manchester City side, the defending champions. City twice led at Newcastle before being forced to settle for a 2-2 draw in the early kick-off, before Liverpool overcame a nervy finish - which included a red card to goalkeeper Alisson for handball - to edge past mid-table Brighton on a dramatic day of action.
Argentine Paulo Dybala scored twice as Juventus brushed aside Udinese to reach the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.

Cristiano Ronaldo withdrew from the squad after falling ill in the day.
