Or three. Or four. Something. The arrival of Bernd Leno the year before has proved a prudent one but to spend a club-record fee on a winger while then bringing in David Luiz, a man who regards defending as a chore he has to fulfill like a petulant teenager before rampaging into midfield to play spraying passes and over-commit to tackles.
The visitors come into this clash with seven defeats in 12 away games so far this season, which makes us think that they’ll drop points in this trip. Rovers have lost at each of the current top three on the road this term, while they were also beaten at Preston. Those are the four highest-placed sides Rovers have met this season, losing them all. Will this clash go the same way?
The window in the summer wasn't perfect. It's absolutely clear that we have to do something in the full back position because even now we have one out," Hasenhuettl told a news conference on Thursday. We only have Ryan Bertrand and Cedric Soares in these two positions, so this is definitely a position we're looking for.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has ruled out making any new signings in the January transfer window. City, who play Burnley on Tuesday, have not kept a clean sheet in their last seven games and are 11 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool. There has been some surprise at veteran Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho being deployed in defence this season. I like Fernandinho playing in that position a lot," said Guardiola.
Because of the precarious financial position Derby find themselves in, they fear they will be offered lowball fees. Paper Round’s view: Derby County have been teetering on the edge of severe financial distress for quite some time now, and it seems the worst time to be looking for outside investment. Selling Knight and Sibley could be a lifeline, but only if they are in a position to make sure they can raise sizeable funds and hold the line if any clubs try to bargain too hard.
They have failed to score in two of the last five matches and have three losses in their last five matches. At home, they have three straight losses, and have conceded twice in each of the three losses. They have one win in five home matches and one clean sheet as well; the win came against strugglers, Norwich.

Mike Newell had to sit by it with about four coats on because it was freezing. Winger Jason Wilcox, who scored five times in 27 league games: "It was a healthy dressing room full of leaders under Kenny and Ray. I was 23 years old at the time and I got called out lots of times if I wasn't getting in the right areas. I didn't take it personally. Dalglish's backroom team included Tony Parkes (left) and Ray Harford (centre), who went on to manage Blackburn.

We stopped this fall and even began to rebuild the club with the Europa League final and fifth place in the league, only one point off Tottenham despite the fact that we took just one point in our final five matches. We had Champions League qualification in our grasp and it went wrong in the end. But it was a good season and we had this notion of continuing to improve.

It's such a momentous occasion to play in or be a part of an Olympics, especially having been part of one in 2012. It's something I think about and I'm conscious of. But I know to get there I need to work extremely hard and push myself as much as I can to be playing at the best level to be given a chance.
Last season Cobresal won at home with Everton 2-1 in the end and it is really a likely outcome here as well with Cobresal having 4 wins and one loss in their last 5 league games at this moment but they conceded in each of those wins reason why all 5 of those league games ended ended with over 2.5 goals and given this odds of 2.00 for the same bet to be taken in this one are really worth a try.
Eibar have won just one of their nine away games in La Liga this season (D4, L4). Los Armeros are traditionally poor travellers, and have won just two of their last 24 top flight fixtures on the road.
It also denies that Saudi authorities had enough evidence, before the WTO panel investigated, to apply criminal sanctions to those behind beoutQ, and that it prevented beIN from taking legal action to enforce its rights in Saudi courts. The proposed £300m deal to take over Newcastle is 80% financed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, whose chairman is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. It is currently awaiting approval through the Premier League's owners' and directors' test, which has been assessing the background of the club's prospective owners for 16 weeks.
Hardly a situation conducive for a player of Ndombele's profile to excel. Whatever way this is viewed it does not reflect well on Mourinho. If you're not a hipster keep scrolling. Boca Juniors - or to give them their hipster name, Club Atlético Boca Juniors - just sealed a 34th Primera Division title by beating Gimnasia - or to give them their hipster name, Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata - 1-0.
Davis, Kamara, Jack and Scott Arfield were the main forces in midfield that day and Celtic couldn't handle them. Then came Celtic's convincing 2-0 win at Ibrox. After that came the League Cup final and we all know about the smash-and-grab that took place there. It's instructive to think back to the early stages of that final and the menace that Rangers possessed from corners and free-kicks. Three times in the opening minutes Goldson and Filip Helander won headers around Celtic's six-yard box.
The Argentine cut a discontented figure from the moment Spurs returned to pre-season training, flagging up his perceived lack of influence. He said after a friendly win against Real Madrid in July: "Sell, buy players, sign contract, not sign contract. I think it is not in my hands. It is in the club's hands and Daniel Levy. The club needs to change my title and description. Of course, I am the boss deciding the strategic play but in another areas I don't know.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is ranked 49 places above his opponent. Stefanos Tsitisipas is the defending champion in this tournament. Alexander Bulbik has yet to beat a top ten ranked player. Stefanos Tsitispas is two matches away from retaining the ATP Marseille title. He is the second seed for the tournament but the highest remaining.
Chelsea go to this game on the back of two straight home losses, and have lost three of their last five at home. In their last eight home matches, Chelsea have lost four and won three then drawn one. They have done well in the FA Cup though; in their last eight FA Cup matches, Chelsea have won seven.
This is a chance for Daniel Farke’s men to improve, having arguably underperformed given their fixtures. So far, 10 of Norwich's 14 Premier League games this season have been against teams starting the day in the bottom half – they've lost eight of those. Things have to get better, or else they’ll be making a quick Championship return.
Robbie Savage?"Even he seemed surprised. But this wasn't an impromptu episode of 606. Savage didn't grill the MP for West Suffolk on whether Manchester United could win the title next year if they sign Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, Kalidou Koulibaly and the government comes up with a vaccine. No, the former Wales midfielder - joining the briefing in his role as a Daily Mirror columnist - had a serious political question.
It was Villa who saw the last Premier League action in a 4-0 loss at Leicester City on 9 March before the top flight was closed down after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta tested positive for coronavirus. We have become accustomed to glimpses of the new reality in the Bundesliga and La Liga, complete with socially-distanced goal celebrations but still with the same passions on the pitch and among supporters watching from afar.
Perhaps even fans need to play their part in what Bevington calls the "race", by tempering their expectations. You only need to turn the radio on, especially at weekends, to hear fans from all different clubs who have high demands on their owners to invest in new players," he says. I'm not saying we won't have a transfer market, and for those clubs further down the leagues, it can be a Godsend. One or two really good transfers can make the clubs solvent for a sustained period of time, but it might just be calmer moving forward.
Big local derby in Belarus between Minsk and dinamo Minsk . Minsk are the host of this match however dinamo Minsk are small favorites for the win, although Minsk can be very dangerous and tricky opponent. There is small quality difference between these two teams so I expect very difficult and balanced match. I also think we can see nice amount of goals scored although the odds are suggesting something different. My bet for this match is over 2.5 goals. As I said before I think there is big chance both teams to score at least once. Good luck my friends.
What are Premier League and English football's options amid coronavirus?Players had faced scrutiny, notably from health secretary Matt Hancock, to take a cut in wages and "play their part" in offering support during the coronavirus pandemic. Some clubs had furloughed non-playing staff as a result of the shutdown of the sport. Before the Premier League statement was released, club captains - led by Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson - held discussions over the creation of a charitable fund which could benefit the NHS.
Very funny to see the average goals for these two home and away, it's exactly the same 13 scored and 23 conceded in 25 matches. Having said that we can see clear that we will have a very balanced and tight match at Dusseldorf. Last time we saw these two playing at Dusseldorf was way back in 2017 in a club friendly so that does not really count. In the first round this season at Paderborn's, we had a home win 2 x 0. This match will be a low scoring match and it will probably end in a draw 1 x 1
There is no magic wand for Ancelotti. Thirteenth-placed Everton are still closer on points to 18th than they are eighth, but the new manager used his programme notes to spell out his desire to win trophies with the club and supporters will hope this is the start of a journey that brings the return of some former glories. Nothing is certain in football but Ancelotti's CV of 15 major trophies in five different countries - including the Premier League and FA Cup in 2009-10 with Chelsea before he was sacked a year later - inspires optimism.
This match means more to Watford than Newcastle United. The hosts need three points for survival and playing at home, they will want to take full advantage of not just that but also the injuries at Newcastle United. The visitors have not been the strongest side when playing away, and they get here straight from a 5-0 thrashing by Manchester City. Watford will be hoping to pile pressure on them especially after their win over Norwich and with a better run at home, they will be favorites but will be hoping for a better defensive display. They have not kept many clean sheets in recent matches, but the same is the case with Newcastle. We feel both sides will score here but we will go for a Watford win.
Again, it worked perfectly but like every formation it came with a calculated risk versus reward. Media playback is not supported on this device Foxes were 'absolutely amazing' on historical day - Brendan Rodgers Their diamond meant they dominated the centre of the pitch because they had four men versus three in the middle, so they outnumbered Villa there and won every second ball. That gave them the chance to get James Maddison on the ball, in space, a lot.
My main thing is that I have always put the club before myself in my career. I just want us to do well. The last few seasons have been full of ups and downs, and I just want the club to be stable. We hoped that would happen with Manuel because he is such a great guy and had a proven managerial pedigree, but we now need to get back to what we are as West Ham United and achieve realistic targets before aiming higher.
Zhodino have made a good start to the season but like their opponents, the goals haven't been flowing. The two teams have played ten league games this season and only 12 goals have been scored in them. All ten of those games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Zhodino have a 100% home record with no goals conceded, go for them to win in a game with under 2.5 goals scored.

VAR this time decided to humiliate the linesman and overturn his decision by awarding Leicester the winning goal. I've seen similar decisions ruled offside by VAR. Everton had put up a spirited performance but what this means for their manager Marco Silva is anyone's guess. Another difficult week for Silva I'm afraid. Did you know? Iheanacho is one of only two substitutes to have scored and assisted in a Premier League game this season, along with Brighton's Leandro Trossard versus Norwich.
Several Italian newspapers have reported that the championship will resume with the six matches which were postponed last weekend, including Juventus v Inter Milan, which will be played in the prime Sunday night slot. Other matches will include AC Milan at home to Genoa while Sampdoria will open the weekend at home to Verona on Saturday evening.
As it stands it looks like seven are likely. The one extra vote required to get this resolution passed could conceivably come down to Inverness or Dundee. SPFL's European places not impacted by lower league voteIt's time for pragmatism, not rules - Budge'A serious amount of politicking is going on in the shadows'If one votes the way of Neil Doncaster the thing is done and the season is over.

LONDON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - The future cannot arrive soon enough for Everton and Arsenal whose limitations were laid bare in a dreadful 0-0 Premier League draw watched by their incoming managers in the directors' box on Saturday. The early game at Goodison Park had a strange atmosphere with confirmation that Carlo Ancelotti would become Everton's new manager arriving an hour before kickoff.

How important is this signing for Dortmund? It is very important. Dortmund missed out on signing a real striker last summer, something they were criticised for a lot. Paco Alcacer misses a lot of games because of injuries and is our only striker. Haaland is exactly the kind of player - a big, cold-blooded box player - Dortmund needed to keep their season goals, winning the title, alive.
Werder have seen five draws in their current seven-game winless run in the Bundesliga. Schalke have also seen plenty of draws in recent weeks. They have drawn three of their last six Bundesliga games. Furthermore, Werder Bremen have won just one of their five Bundesliga games this season. We feel that this game is likely to end in a draw.
Tevez, who is in the final months of his contract with Boca Juniors, stopped short of asking players to donate part of their salary but said top footballers have enough money put aside to see themselves through tough times. Footballers can live six months, a year (without getting paid)," Tevez said in a Thursday interview with Argentina’s America TV.
Having been turned over at home by West Ham in the shock result of last weekend's top-flight programme, Chelsea bounced backed straight back at the Bridge on Wednesday with a 2-1 win over a dogged Aston Villa outfit.
Dendoncker's headed goal was the real killer, coming so early in the second half from Pedro Neto's well-delivered free-kick. Jota's excellent finish simply confirmed what was already known, although Ruben Neves' superb floated long pass to release him is also worthy of emphasis. Adama Traore came on for the last 19 minutes and should have added to the scoreline but instead planted an effort against the crossbar after he was found unmarked in the box by Jota.
It's our responsibility and we have to do everything we can to achieve that. Arsenal host fourth-placed Chelsea - who they trail by eight points - on Sunday in what will be Arteta's first home game in charge after Thursday's 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth. If we are able to generate [energy] it will give us a lift," the Spaniard added.
