Liverpool could dominate English football like Manchester United did in the 1990s and 2000s, says former England midfielder Jermaine Jenas. Premier League leaders Liverpool play United at Anfield on Sunday with Jurgen Klopp's side 27 points ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team, who are fifth. The gap is so vast between them," said Jenas on BBC Radio 5 Live's Friday Football Social. Jurgen Klopp has something about managing players that Ole is learning.
In terms of a correct score tip, the hosts have built much of their success on a strong defensive foundation so should be hard to breakdown. However, their visitors have scored five in their last six so, even though they concede an average of 1.83 goals per game on the road and have conceded two or more in each of their last three matches, it appears they may be able to cause some trouble for the defensive minded hosts. With this in mind, backing a 2-1 home win looks to be the way to go.
Blackpool are enjoying a good season, but they've gone off the boil a bit of late. Having drawn with Sunderland a few weeks ago, the Seasiders will have fancied themselves ahead of two home games. Unfortunately, neither of those home matches yielded any points for Simon Grayson's men.
Premier League, EFL and PFA announce scheme to increase BAME coaching numbersKeep up the pressure against racism, says DeeneyBlack players in UK should 'form coalition'PFA equalities executive Jason Lee told BBC Sport: "It was always important to collate information rather than just speaking about the fact we believe there is unconscious bias within sport, and across society really. If you're describing two types of players, one is white and one is black, and they are both doing exactly the same thing and yet for the black player you are picking up on the negative side of it and for the white player it's the positive side, what I mean by that is a black player will be perceived as having pace and power and aggression, and a white player will have ingenuity and creativity and determination, different traits, when it could be the reverse.

Not only have Lyon performed reasonably well in front of their own fans, but they recorded a pleasing win in the reverse of this fixture. Their 2-0 win in Germany will fill Rudi Garcia's men with confidence ahead of Tuesday's decisive clash.
The Scottish FA has now suspended football for the foreseeable future and, whilst there is no specified end date to this, it is most likely that the game will not resume until July/early August at the earliest," Budge said in a statement. This reduction in income is not sustainable without taking immediate action to cut staff costs and overheads. As such, I need to act swiftly and take steps now to ensure that we, as a Club, can weather this storm while trying to ensure we are ready to resume operations as and when we move into calmer waters and football restarts.
Only essential medical treatment would be allowed, with all medical staff in full PPE. All meetings and reviews must take place virtually and off-site. In Germany, where the Bundesliga is set to become the first major football league in Europe to return to competition, 10 positive results have been returned from 1,724 coronavirus tests from clubs in the top two divisions. Cubs have been training in groups and the tests are being taken before a planned return to training as teams.
Mourinho starts his Tottenham Hotspur tenure with a trip to play West Ham in a London Derby at Saturday lunchtime, and the Spurs hierarchy will hope that the infamous new manager bounce leads to an instant spike in Premier League results for the club.
Mbappe's celebration! It's something I do with my mates. Obviously I don't score too much, and I was saying for ages that I'd do it when I next scored, and I think it was about three or four months between my two goals, so I'd been planning it for a while! Alexander-Arnold copied Kylian Mbappe's famous folded-arms goal celebration after scoring Liverpool's fourth and final goal against Leicester City on 26 DecemberTrent on.
That is if he gets that far. Opponents recognise his danger - he was the most-fouled player in the Championship last season (161 fouls), and that record has continued this campaign in the top flight with 53 so far. It doesn't put him off, however. Of English players that have attempted 20 or more dribbles this season, only Declan Rice (76%) and Andros Townsend (68%) have a higher success rate than Grealish's 65%.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: Norwich keeper Tim Krul did so well in the shootout against Spurs - did you see his bottle with all their penalties written on it? I think they might win this one too. Southampton v NewcastleThese two teams are hovering just above the relegation battle, and neither of them are in great form. Southampton have lost three of their past four league matches, while Newcastle are winless in five league games and have not scored in four of them.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Serge's prediction: Let's be honest - I am a dreamer, but I just have a feeling James Maddison is going to nick it with a little free-kick, and then the league will be on again. I have got a fair few brothers who are big Man City fans so they are going to be watching this and throwing things at the telly.

Barcelona tied their match 0-0 on a very difficult round with Sevilla and this is a great chance maybe even the only one for Real to return to the chair of the leader. They lose 3 points to Barcelona so if they win today they will have the same number of points but they will lead. I really enjoyed Real Sociedad game but they can see that this break for them went badly for them. Draw and defeat are not good results yet they played with weak teams. Real Sociedad is coming after losing to Alaves 2-0 but I don't think they will have a difficult time today to score points. Zidane's team comes after two victories 3-1 and 3-0 and they are clear favorites again. But doing it against Real sociedad will be a hard task.
Old hands like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Gerard Pique, Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos will be on display, but a new twist to the rivalry comes with expected first El Clasico starts for two dynamic midfielders whose personal battle could help define this fixture for years to come. Here is how 22-year-old Dutchman Frenkie de Jong has joined Messi as one of the first names on the Barca teamsheet, and why 21-year-old Uruguayan Federico Valverde has subdued talk of Paul Pogba heading to Real.
Atleti's Champions League progress is also far from assured as they sit just one point clear of Bayer Leverkusen with one group stage game left to play. Over to you, Arsenal Twitter. Bale shocked by Madrid jeers Gareth Bale has admitted that he was surprised initially when he was jeered by Real Madrid fans after posing with a banner than read 'Wales.
Sydney-born Milligan made his Australia debut against Liechtenstein in June 2006, having started his club career at Northern Spirit. He had spells at Sydney FC and Newcastle Jets before moving to Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua in 2009. Mark Milligan has played 19 times for Southend since joining the club in the summerHe also spent time in Japan, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia as well as playing more than 100 games in two spells at Melbourne Victory between 2012 and 2018.
Attack against defence in 25 metres is difficult but we created enough chances to win the game comfortably. The defeat was Arsenal's first of 2020 and only their second under Arteta but the manner of the loss and the competition it came in will have been particularly painful for Gunners fans. Arsenal had been disappointing for much of the game and did not have a shot on target until the 77th minute, but Arteta refused to criticise his players.
Bale's commitment to the 13-times European champions came under the microscope last month after he helped his nation qualify for Euro 2020 and then joined his team mates dancing alongside a banner saying 'Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order'. He was booed by real fans during last month's match against Real Sociedad.

However, he is now out for "a number of weeks" with a fractured arm, leaving many managers scratching their heads and wondering who to replace him with. Despite leading the line for Spurs, he is listed as a midfielder so we have taken a look at some similarly-priced alternatives to ease the headache. The only player that has outscored Son this season for a similar value is Everton's Richarlison. However despite the Toffees' good form under Carlo Ancelotti, with games against Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the next four gameweeks it may not be time to bring in an Everton player.
Juventus are second in Serie A, being overtaken by Lazio after their game against Inter was postponed. They nearly lost the first leg of this tie, needing a 90th minute Cristiano Ronaldo penalty to grab the draw. Juventus have won their last seven home matches, scoring at least twice in each of them.
Western United’s debut season in the A-League has gone better than anyone expectations, with the club sitting third eight points behind leaders Sydney FC. The side have performed well but have experienced dips in form, recently losing three in a row, but they have turned things around again going three games unbeaten.
The Merseyside club have said "The consultation events are designed for local residents, businesses and fans to learn more and offer their feedback on the club's vision to create a bigger Anfield, which would allow more fans to watch some of Europe's best football in a world-class facility,". Why Arsenal ‘did not appeal’ to Jose Mourinho Jose Mourinho, Head Coach of Tottenham Hotspur during the Tottenham Hotspur training session at Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre on November 20, 2019Getty Images Before the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss decided on Spurs, he had been in talks with Arsenal’s head of football Raul Sanllehi about replacing Unai Emery last month, as the pressure continued to pile onto the Spaniard.
Wolves captain Conor Coady said: All of us in the squad, the boss and the staff wanted to do something significant to help Wolverhampton and the people of this city at what is a really difficult and challenging time for all of us. We receive so much support from the people of Wolverhampton week-in-week-out at Molineux, at grounds up and down the country and even when we meet people out and about, and for us this the least we could do to repay that support.
After wins in their last assignments, the picture for both clubs looks much better than it might have done a week ago, and another triumph for either side this weekend could result in a rise to the Premier League's top ten for the victors.
We have to deal with this on a club-by-club basis. It is the hardest way but I believe it is the best way. Health secretary Matt Hancock last week called for players to take a pay cut and "play their part". Former England captain and current Derby striker Wayne Rooney said players have been left in a "no-win situation", and Taylor agreed they were "very put out that they were being put in a corner".
Arda has 7 wins, 8 draws and 8 defeats and sit 9th place in the standings and with a goal difference of 25:29. A victory here will take the team to 8th place on the table, so they have some kind of motive. On the other hand, the team Dunav Ruse has 4 wins, 6 draws and 14 defeats and with a goal difference of 18:44. Dunav slipped to the bottom side with only one point from 5 games before the break. They collected 18 points so far. Dunav's form is almost the same as Arda because Arda couldn't win 5 games (0-2-3) and slipped to 9th place with 29 points.

Read the full story Video - Barcelona desperation sees them turn to Giroud – Euro Papers01:39 Brighton target Lamptey Brighton and Hove Albion are the latest club to express an interest in Chelsea youngster Tariq Lamptey, reports the Sun. Lille had been linked with the player, whose contract runs until the end of the season, but the Premier League club are readying a £6 million bid before the end of the transfer window this winter in order to secure his signature six months earlier.
The attacking stats for the team are decidedly average, just 1.08 goals scored per game on average, the lowest of any team in the top half but their defensive output is the joint best in the league with just 19 goals conceded in 25 games. An imposing striker in the final third could make all the difference to Forest Green’s fortunes this season but this weekend they still look a little light in the final third.
Fernandes has got off to a fast start at United, having already registered three goals and two assists in just seven appearances in all competitions. And speaking ahead of Sunday's Manchester derby, Guardiola said City never considered signing the 25-year-old Portugal international. I said many times it looks like we are linked with a thousand million players every month," Guardiola told reporters on Friday.
I felt it physically. I was like 'wow'. That would have been hard. He added: "But when it was off the table I felt quite relieved. I didn't think when we went to lockdown 'Oh my god, that is our season, we are so close', because it was not important in that moment. If they win their next two games - Sunday's Merseyside derby at Everton (19:00 BST), followed by Wednesday's visit of Crystal Palace to Anfield (20:15) - Liverpool will win a 19th top-flight title, regardless of how second-placed Manchester City fare at home to Burnley on Monday.
These teams last met on the first day of the season with the game finishing 1-1 despite Strasbourg dominating much of the action. However, we don't think les Grenats will be as lucky this time considering both sides' form. Strasbourg have just one clean sheet in their last five league games while Metz have scored in five of their last six matches in Ligue 1 so we're backing both teams to score, a market which has won in the last two clashes of these sides, in five of Metz's last six league games and in three of Strasbourg's last five league matches. However, given les Alsatians form at the tail end of last year, we're backing the visitors to win 2-1.
We just can't see that happening and see good value in backing Marseille on a -1 handicap when looking at the fixture from a betting point of view. Marseille are scoring goals for fun, especially at home and with Nimes having looked extremely leaky in recent weeks, we believe a comfortable 3-0 home win could well be on the cards.
PSG have 14 wins in the last 15 matches. Amiens have one win in the last 15 matches. PSG have conceded in each of their last three matches. PSG have 10 straight away wins. Amiens have scored in 12 of the last 15 matches. Amiens have not had a good season and it is not bound to get better, at least not this weekend, as they host Ligue 1 giants PSG.
Rashford was not included in the squad for Sunday's trip to Premier League leaders Liverpool. He got knocks against Wolves and aggravated his back," said Solskjaer. We will give him time before we put him back on the pitch. I wouldn't expect to be having him in the next few weeks. According to Henry Winter, The Times' chief footballer writer, Rashford is expected to be out for "two to three months".
They are the third-most popular team in Germany but have never won the Bundesliga since its formation in 1963. If they were an English team: Everton (they play in blue, have Kenny and are rivals to Borussia Dortmund, who we compared to Liverpool earlier)Why should you support Schalke? They have two British players, they have a big fanbase, you support HuddersfieldWhy shouldn't you support Schalke? You like goals.

Tickets became available due to the failure of supporters to pay on time for tickets they had previously ordered. These tickets were subsequently sold," said a statement. However, due to a technical error, for a short period of time a small number of tickets which were not for sale were made available for purchase. Fans who purchased those tickets received a cancellation email and no charge was made to their credit cards," added Uefa, which says 'a couple of hundred' fans in England were affected.
