Players should be "empowered" to walk off the pitch in response to racist abuse, according to Gary Neville. Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger reported being targeted by monkey chants during the second half of Sunday's 2-0 win at Tottenham. Former England defender Neville said: "Maybe we have to empower the players to walk off the pitch and stop the entertainment while it is happening. We have a racism problem in the Premier League in England.
They are still having nightmares over a recent 7-0 home loss to Vitoria Guimaraes (despite a spell of 35 minutes without conceding). Famalicao are only six points behind their opponents who occupy the final Europa League qualifying position. Only one of their last seven home league fixtures have been won but a form guide for the last ten matches has them one from bottom in the table.

As the club's official Twitter account put it: "No airs and graces, just hard work. There is a lot more to this Sheffield United side than graft, although they were given only fleeting opportunities to demonstrate this at Anfield. United asked more questions of the Reds than most sides this season when they met at Bramall Lane in September, an error from goalkeeper Henderson leading to the game's only goal from Wijnaldum.
Pete Sharland's XI: Petr Cech (Arsenal), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Vincent Kompany (Man City) Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Andrew Robertson (Hull City), N'Golo Kante (Leicester City), Juan Mata (Manchester United), Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea City), Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Dimitar Berbatov (Fulham), Hatem Ben Arfa (Newcastle United) Manager: Roy Hodgson (Crystal Palace) Okay first off, there has been some creative manipulation of the rules here and I won't apologise for that.
Read the full story Ferguson remains in charge at Everton Duncan Ferguson will take charge of Everton as they face Manchester United this weekend, with his side not yet sure who will be given the job permanently. Vitor Pereira has turned down the chance to join, and both Carlo Ancelotti and Mauricio Pochettino are candidates - though there is plenty of doubt that they will want to join, according to the Daily Mail.
Some of the most iconic starting XIs in football history barely ever began a game together. Injuries, suspensions and, more recently, squad rotation, along with perhaps a bit of misremembering on our part, all contribute to make some of football's most revered sides no more than a myth. The Premier League era is awash with them. There are, of course, also notable examples from pre-1992 in England. One such case is the one which inspired this piece - that the iconic Don Revie Leeds side of the late 1960s and early 70s started just one game together.
Atleti had spent most of the second half trying to stop waves of Barca attacks but got a lifeline when substitute Vitolo was tripped by goalkeeper Neto and striker Alvaro Morata equalised from the penalty spot in the 81st minute. Stand-in keeper Neto was also at fault for the winning goal, failing to properly block Correa's shot which bounced into the net to cap an incredible match.
Their last three matches have each yielded over 2. In their last five home matches in the league, Vitoria Guimaraes have managed four wins and a loss. They have not been the best defensively though; they have conceded the joint most (17) among the teams in the top 10. Meanwhile, they haven’t scored a goal in their last three meetings and four of the last five with Benfica.
West Ham's miserable home record continued as defeat by a much-changed Leicester side left them stuck in a Premier League relegation battle. Boos from the Hammers fans greeted the final whistle at London Stadium as Manuel Pellegrini's side racked up a fourth straight home defeat. Second-placed Leicester, who made nine changes from the Boxing Day defeat by Liverpool, had a measure of control throughout and deservedly won through Demarai Gray's composed second-half finish.

alright let's see if Swansea can beat anyone, they really disappointed me in last round when they failed to beat QPR at home but they are lucky enough to play with another team which is right now in terrible shape, hull city lost 4 from last 5 and at home they are nothing better, since they have 6-2-8 which is a lot of defeats at home,Swansea did now won 4 in a row and 4 in a row on the road so if they fail to win again they will be out from the playoff race for sure, so I wish good luck to them tonight
Just when it seemed like Monaco were building up a head of steam, they went and blew it away to Bordeaux last week. Bordeaux have been a team in form as of late but so were Monaco, so to see them lose this crucial clash that could have seen them climb eight places up to 6th was extremely disappointing. They continue to wallow in 14th with the third most goals conceded in Ligue 1 but a trip to an awful Toulouse side could be the way to get some win back in their sails.
It wasn't the first leg that killed us, it was a 20-minute spell where we lost three goals. Tiles, tickets and tipping points Three days later and Rangers had 90 minutes to save their season, while Motherwell pondered over whether to stick or twist. What they were sure of was that it would be done in front of a partisan crowd. With the Fir Park side receiving 950 briefs for the first leg, Rangers were given 1,500 away tickets, around 4,500 less than usual.

The Swede is in temporary charge of the club, where he played between 1998 and 2007, after the sacking of Unai Emery in midweek after the Europa League loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Ljungberg had Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to thank for a point at Carrow Road after the former Borussia Dortmund striker scored twice, but his nerves were shot after his first goal, a retaken penalty that was originally missed, only for VAR to grant Arsenal a reprieve for encroachment.
Porto followed up on their win over Benfica with a 3-0 win over Academico Viseu in the Portuguese Cup but they know here the challenge will be harder. For Guimaraes, their huge win ended a three-game losing run and playing in front of their home fans they will be keen on getting a second win over Porto in 10 attempts.
Vitorul against Sepsi in match Romania division 1. My prediction this match could be won for Viitorul with margin score is 2 goals. Vitorul have better result on last 3 match in league due to Viitorul have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Sepsi have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Sepsis only have draw in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Vitorul can defeat Sepsi on this match due to Viitorul more strong and also have yet lose in every home match.
Duncan Ferguson thinks he is likely to take charge of Everton's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester on Wednesday but has reiterated he does not want the full-time job. The Toffees drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford, following a 3-1 win over Chelsea in an impressive start under the caretaker manager. I think I will be," said Ferguson. It's a quick turnaround for a new guy to come in before Wednesday but I need to speak to the directors.
Word had spread around. They were on to their clubs to say 'this lad from Dublin has done exceptionally well and nobody has ever heard of him'," he adds. Every main club in Britain was interested. Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, you name them, there was a queue of clubs looking at him. What made the youngster choose Tottenham? Parrott and Wolves wing-back Matt Doherty both played for Belvedere in Dublin"He came on the scene relatively suddenly," says Butler.
I'm delighted he and his staff have committed to these new long-term contracts. Together with his backroom team, he has continued the club's progress of recent years and brought a different approach with a new style of play, which has been embraced by players and supporters alike. Potter said: "I'm thrilled that the club have liked what they've seen so far, in a relatively short period of time, and have already shown an added confidence in what we are trying to do.
Arsenal were held 0-0 at Burnley on Sunday for their fourth straight Premier League draw, leaving Arteta with only one win from his first seven league matches in charge since replacing Unai Emery in December. They have scored only eight goals in those games. We have to improve quality-wise.

A senior executive at a rival club was more sympathetic, telling BBC Sport privately it was inevitable officials would assess the situation from their own specific point of view. So it has proved. Some Premier League clubs want the season to be given as long as possible to be completed. But the most strident of these tend to be the ones who play in Europe and have something to lose beyond domestic cash.
The visitors have lost their way quite dramatically of late. They went from one of the league’s best defensive sides to a team who have let in 13 goals across their last six games. They had a habit of keeping things tight on the road, but the promotion contenders shipped four goals in a win at Birmingham over Christmas, while they lost 2-1 at Fulham.

The Scot raced down the touchline when Richarlison headed Everton in front from Djibril Sidibe's cross after only five minutes, then swung a ball boy around in the air when Dominic Calvert-Lewin took advantage of slipshod Chelsea defending to increase their lead four minutes after half-time. Chelsea frayed some nerves in the home crowd when Mateo Kovacic pulled one back from long range - but Ferguson was off down the touchline again when more awful defending from Frank Lampard's side allowed Calvert-Lewin to scramble his second through goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's legs with six minutes left.
The charges relate to Valcke's time as Fifa general secretary between 2013 and 2015 when he is accused of influencing the award of media rights for Italy and Greece.

While it all appeared good humoured, the media in the Spanish capital failed to see the funny side and implored the club to sever ties with the player they signed for 85 million pounds ($109. Bale of a lack of respect. There's been a lot of noise about what he did but we need to just focus on football.
Odds are very good for taking the over 3 goals in this one and I say this because Dartford is in great form scoring 16 goals in their last 5 league games, and no, not all the goals came in a single game, as they scored 3 goals in 4 of those wins and 4 goals once as well, being very efficient both at home and also away from home and they also beat some tough opponents lately with ease as well.
Arsenal said in a statement on Monday that the Uruguayan could be out for up to 10 weeks, but Arteta told a news conference later in the day that the club did not know "anything for sure".

Liverpool are up against their former manager Roy Hodgson when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park while the pressure is on Arsenal's Spanish boss Unai Emery, who badly needs a win at home to 19th-placed Southampton. The pick of the promoted teams, Sheffield United, who are riding high in fifth place, face Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United on Sunday.
Currently second in the table, one point behind Real Madrid, the reigning champions have an incredible home record that should not be tested by 16th-placed Eibar. Three points clear of the relegation zone, Eibar have only picked up one win from their 12 league games on the road. Meanwhile, Barcelona have picked up 34 of the 36 points available from their home fixtures, the only blemish being a goalless draw to a visiting Real Madrid; it's hardly anything to be ashamed of.
