The flair players were too easily bullied and got caught in the headlights. We then came into it a little bit more when we relaxed and started playing. Leeds were still good, they deserved the win today - but we didn't deserve what happened to us with the [not awarded] penalty decision. It's a stonewall penalty. It's too big a game to not get those things right. It's probably just the fear of Leeds away.
Midfielder Giovani Lo Celso was missing with a thigh problem and forward Erik Lamela with a groin issue, adding to Mourinho's selection headache but his side rode their luck to reach the fifth round where they have a home tie against Norwich City. United battle with Chelsea for Dembele Manchester United and Chelsea are both in the running for Lyon forward Moussa Dembele, according to a report in the Mirror.
Schalke have also been enjoying an impressive run of form in recent weeks. They have lost just one of their last eight Bundesliga fixtures, winning four. Furthermore, Schalke have been in impressive form at home this season. They are undefeated in their last seven Bundesliga home games, winning four.
Leipzig covered this high over bet with much of a fuss in their last 4 games in Germany starting with a 6-1 win at Wolfsburg in the cup, winning 8-0 at home with Mainz, winning 4-2 away at Hertha and 4-1 at home with Koln the last 3 in the league and they are right now just one point behind the top two teams in the league standings, they are really open type of team but defense is not as strong as in previous seasons as I watched them lose 3-1 at home to Schalke for example.

Fulham had chances to win it too with Bobby Decordova-Reid flashing an effort across the six-yard box, while substitute Ivan Cavaleiro curled a powerful shot narrowly over from 18 yards. However, their failure to secure all three points hands Leeds the chance to open up a five-point lead over one of their promotion rivals when they entertain Reading on Saturday. A second successive home 1-1 draw also does little for Derby's hopes of staging a late run to the play-offs, with the Rams now eight points off a top-six spot having now played a game more than the sides above them.

If they were going to Derby without Matic and McTominay then I would not be so sure of the outcome, but those two really do steady the ship. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Filly's prediction: 0-2Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan. 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.

Both sides are coming from defeats to Manchester teams; Burnley fell at home 4-1 to Manchester City and Spurs lost 2-1 away to Manchester United. The loss to Manchester United was the first in Jose Mourinho’s era as Spurs manager and it brought to an end a three-match winning run.

United were ruthless in the final third as midfield playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who was highly impressive once again, netted via a deflection before the Portuguese volleyed in to finish a swift counter-attack. Brighton did pose some threat in the second half but David de Gea made a flying save to deny Aaron Connolly as Graham Potter's side remain in 15th place, six points above the relegation zone. Relive Manchester United's win over BrightonUnited taking shape under SolskjaerUnited will have looked enviously over at rivals Liverpool and the job Jurgen Klopp has done with the Reds after they ended their 30-year wait for a top-flight title by winning the Premier League for the first time - their previous titles coming back in the old First Division days.

Championship leaders Leeds United have had striker Eddie Nketiah's loan spell from Arsenal cut short. Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa started Nketiah in Wednesday's top-of-the-table draw at West Brom, substituting the 20-year-old at half-time. After the match the Argentine confirmed Nketiah's season-long stay was being ended four months early. The club and him informed us that he is not going to continue with us," said Bielsa.

Vikingur Reykjavik is going to face Fjolnir. The hosts of this match are favorites and they should beat Fjolnir. However, this season didn't start well for Vikingur as they lost in the cup match 0:1 against Kr Reykjavik. They failed to score even one goal but today they should play a much better. Fjolnir plays only in the cup matches and I think that they will do everything to win against Vikingur. This match should be exciting and balanced that's why I expect both teams to score here at least one goal. My bet for this match is over 3.5 goals
Crocker served as Southampton's academy boss between 2006 and 2013 before working with Dan Ashworth and England manager Gareth Southgate in implementing a coaching philosophy for the national youth teams. Ashworth resigned from the FA last year and took up a role as Brighton & Hove Albion's technical director and Crocker will now follow a similar path.
I will try in this match from Dutch second league with option on over 3,5 what is pretty real for me, but in this league, you never know anything for sure. So, NEC is team who is after three losses in a row, every time with plenty of goals, beat in last round Eindhoven, as a guests, with even 4-1. FC Den Bosch, on the other side is won in last four of five matches and in the same time, team is in last two rounds won 2-1 and 2-1. Yes, I see here very interesting and efficient duel, so I will try.
Both of these teams have provided plenty of entertaining games for Bundesliga fans this season. Both teams have scored in nine of Freiburg's 12 Bundesliga games this season. Both teams have also scored in eight of Monchengladbach's last 11 competitive games.
Even that victory has an asterisk beside it because it was the return leg of a cup match and they ended up losing on penalties. Bowing out of the cup was no great loss as the league is their primary focus. Steadying the ship there is crucial before they are dragged into a dog-fight at the bottom. With three defeats in their last four league matches, it's not an ideal time for Denizlispor to take on a Goztepe side coming off of back-to-back wins.
Tanguy Ndombele, I don't know, I imagine this is (his) 10th injury of the season," Mourinho said. They stop him to play. It doesn't give him continuity. A third defeat in Mourinho's nine Premier League games in charge at Spurs further undermined the resurgence his arrival produced and left Tottenham in sixth spot, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea who drew with Brighton and Hove Albion earlier.
However, the Edinburgh club has done better at Easter Road, and they were even able to keep just their second clean sheet in their nine home games this season- a worrying figure. Hibs have also been in fine goalscoring form and are joint-third highest scorers in the league at home, netting an average of 1.89 times whilst scoring in every single tie.
Everton are in talks with Southampton over a deal for Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - but could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur. The 24-year-old was stripped of the Saints captaincy after telling manager Ralph Hasenhuttl he will not extend his contract, which has 12 months to run. Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti refused to be drawn on any interest in Hojberg after the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa but discussions have started between the clubs with a potential offer on the table of £14m plus add-ons.
After the last 16 matches in the tournament arena. Austrian national team, the fans just lost right. 1 match at the same time get 13 wins. This achievement is enough to show the superior level of. LASK Linz compared to other big teams. Can see the psychology too familiar with the. Enter the position as the front door in the match. Except for this match, LASK Linz is in a very good mood and they are available. Sieve on the coming march with a goal of 3 points.
I am not really counting on the guests to score in this one as my preferred bet would be the hosts to win this one by 2 goals difference but they have been scoring 3 goals all alone in their recent wins in the league for example they played against 3rd placed Cerro Porteno on the road and won that game 3-1 in the end and of course they score goals at home much easier winning against Santani with no less than 4-0 at home the last time that they hosted them.
Despite the victory in last round at away against Le Havre, Orleans remain at the bottom of standings with a very small chances to avoid relegation in current season, their defense is weak and their attack have a lack of efficiency. On the other side, Troyes is at 4th place, with a good chances to reach direct promotion, and three victories in a row, their confidence is boosted and I am sure they are eager to continue with a victories. Troyes will be without suspended midfielder Kouyate, but with Media and Suk in attack, I am sure they can win in this duel with more than 1.5 goals AH.
After the weekend games, they are 17th in the Premier League but face a battle here when hosting in-form Chelsea who are fourth. The Hammers are only outside the bottom three on goal difference. However, 18th placed Bournemouth will dump them in the relegation zone if avoiding defeat at home to Newcastle United earlier in the day.

The Cottagers may be favourites here, but they have struggled against the top teams. They’ve failed to win against any of the top nine in the Championship, with Saturday bringing a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol City. When you combine that return with a Preston side who were a minute shy of an unbeaten home record this term, we struggle to see why Fulham are so strongly fancied. We see Preston avoiding defeat here, with the division’s strongest home side well priced to not lose this week.
It's now just one clean sheet in Mourinho's first 10 games as Spurs boss. But after the restart it was much more like the Spurs of old. Inspired by Kane's fine equaliser, the brilliance of Lucas Moura and the introduction of Eriksen, there was much more pace and drive about their approach play, their interplay was promising and through Alli's fifth goal in seven games, Mourinho's men returned to winning ways.

RB Leipzig are favorite here and they are expected to continue where they stopped when they thrashed 1.

Attacking improvements have allowed Nigel Clough's men to creep forwards in terms of league position. Burton are now just three points shy of the top six. However, for all they've improved offensively of late, Clough's men have seemingly weakened at the back. They've conceded ten in their last five, conceding two or more in four of those five, while they're now without a clean sheet in ten matches. Such defensive stats are a tad worrying, though The Brewers are at least scoring plenty of goals now, which has, in recent times, allowed them to collect plenty of points.
The fact that we are still league leaders shows how good we have been working and how good a season we have been playing," Plea added. We have a great team .

Manchester United: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad have until Saturday off before heading to a warm-weather training camp, reportedly in Marbella, although some players have already been doing extra training in Dubai. A planned trip to Qatar was cancelled because of safety concerns.
Annoyingly worthy as it might sound, this team really does deserves the title given their dominance over the competition. Most title-winning sides are not that memorable, but this one with the dynamic football Jurgen Klopp has them playing, having won 26 of their first 27 matches, a front three worthy of comparison with any in English league history and right back Trent Alexander-Arnold playing a revolutionary role as chief playmaker, is one people will always recall and see as a reference point for future great sides.

The reigning champions are in serious danger of missing out on a second successive championship due to a terrible run of form. Second in the table, three points behind leaders Porto, Benfica have failed to win six of their last seven matches in all competitions. Maritimo are 16th in the table, four points clear of relegation and hoping to spring a shock against the division's heavyweight side.
Most of the time, their only way of stopping the danger was to foul him. For the goal, Grealish chased down an over-hit Anwar el Ghazi cross before fronting up Andreas Pereira on the edge of the penalty area, beating him with a deft feint to the right and finally sending his curling shot over David de Gea and into the roof of the United keeper's net. It was magnificent, way beyond anything produced by the hosts during another tepid 45 minutes.

Son Heung-min struck in stoppage time to give Tottenham a dramatic 3-2 victory over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash at Villa Park. Toby Alderweireld had a mixed day as he put through his own net in just the ninth minute before equalising at the right end in the 27th minute. Son gave Tottenham what appeared a crucial lead in the 45th minute, only for Bjorn Engels to equalise and leave Mourinho fuming.
They looked stronger in midfield but conceding two late goals shows that Mourinho still has lots of work to do. Now he turns his attention to the Champions League where Spurs can clinch qualification if matching Red Star Belgrade's result. Tottenham have a four-point lead over them and a win here will definitely see them in the last sixteen.
