Ross County will host Kilmarnock after picking up an important win that will serve them well for their relegation battle. We're going to back both teams to score for this game, as Ross County has seen that happen in their last three home ties whilst it's also happened in two of Kilmarnock's previous four away days. A 1-1 draw also seems like a good shout, as the hosts have done relatively well on home turf this season although not so well in defence, letting in an average of 2.38 goals but also managing to score 1.5 times. In stark contrast, Killie has conceded far less- 1.88 goals- but has also scored half of the amount their upcoming opponents have.

Spurs finished second, their position secure before the game started, but Jose Mourinho will have learned little from his second-string side being beaten by a similarly weakened Bayern. Talking point - Ryan Sessegnon could be Mourinho’s new favourite Sessegnon started life as a left-back and his defensive ability will endear him to the usually-conservative Mourinho.

We have seen some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus take steps to reduce their costs," said Levy, who revealed Spurs had imposed a 20% pay cut on 550 non-playing staff in April and May. We hope the discussions between the Premier League, PFA and LMA (League Managers Association) will result in players and coaches doing their bit for the football ecosystem.
The two teams competed furiously to qualify for the Asian Champions League last season. In the end, it was Seoul who snatched that third and final Champions League place, pipping Pohang to the spot thanks to a superior goal difference. These are early days in the K-League - with only two games having been played - but Pohang hold a one-point advantage over their rivals.
Sadly, it's the latest in a string of high-profile incidents that make footballers, and the rest of the game, look a bit naff. Jack Grealish crashed his car. Kyle Walker hosted a sex party. Liverpool, Tottenham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich furloughed their staff, although the former tried to win credit for backtracking.
At a club like Leeds (top of the second tier), fans would go nuts. You can also imagine clubs taking legal action. Liverpool require two wins to secure their first English top flight title in 30 years and former boss Kenny Dalglish said it would be a travesty if the season is cancelled. That wouldn't be fair and any person with football at heart would admit that would be totally out of order," Dalglish wrote in his column for The Sunday Post newspaper.
It would make you crazy to stay inside!" he joked. Having represented Southampton in England, Halmstad in Sweden's Allsvenskan, Dutch club FC Groningen and Greuther Furth, Sparv is enjoying one of the best spells of his career with Finland qualifying for the Euros and Midtjylland currently leading the Danish top-flight table, a whopping 12 points ahead of FC Copenhagen.

And on a sunny lunchtime at Turf Moor on New Year's Day, nothing changed. Grealish's disallowed goal, which came in the 12th minute and was ruled out following a two-minute VAR consultation, was victim to another marginal offside call which angered fans inside the stadium. Striker Wesley, who contested an aerial ball during the build-up to the goal, was deemed offside by barely an inch - the back of his heel appearing to cross one of several lines drawn by VAR.
In the last 10 meetings between these two sides, no team has scored more than a goal in seven, marking this as a low scoring affair. Each of the last five matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. Newcastle go to the game unbeaten in seven home matches and Crystal Palace have lost just once in the last five away matches. By this we expect both sides to level out and given their low scoring runs in the league too, we have reason to believe we will not see a lot of goals here. We will be backing this to end in a 1-1 draw on the correct score scale.
The hosts have lost their last three matches in all competitions and are without a win in their last three league games, while Woking have only lost two of their last six matches in league and cup but have also only won once which is why we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright win for the visitors.
It is hard to disagree. The reason behind the delay is conjecture - Rooney has his theory as articulated below. Perhaps he is correct that financial considerations were at play, perhaps not. The Premier League certainly could point to the current government advice, which, unlike many of our European counterparts, remains yet to have banned large gatherings.

But Brendan Rodgers' side were disappointing and Villa capitalised at Wembley, coming from behind to reach their first FA Cup final since 2000. Philippe Coutinho gave Liverpool the lead, before Christian Benteke equalised in the first half and Fabian Delph gave Villa the winner nine minutes after the break. There was late pressure from Liverpool - Kieran Richardson cleared Gerrard's effort off the line and Mario Balotelli had a goal ruled offside - but Villa held on.
Currently, they sit 5th in the table but just two points adrift of the automatic promotion spots. That being said, defeat on New Year’s Day could potentially send them as low as 10th in the table, so things are very tight in the race for promotion.
Hi! SPAL are coming off a 0-0 draw at Udinese in their previous Serie A fixture. SPAL are deep in relegation trouble having failed to win in their last five Serie A matches. Genoa are also coming off a 0-0 draw with the Napoli match. Genoa have just one win in their last 10 matches. SPAL have just one win from four matches against Genoa while the last three fixtures have ended in draws. All four meetings have produced under 2.5 goals.

In the quarters, Reims beat Strasbourg on post match penalties after a 0-0 draw while PSG registered a 6-1 win over St. Etienne. In the Ligue 1, these two are far apart – Reims being eighth with 29 points and PSG further up at first with 49 points. Reims have two straight wins over PSG but they head to this game with a poor run, having drawn three and lost two of the last five matches.
March 7 (Reuters) - Little more than four months on the job, U. S. Vlatko Andonovski is earning high praise from team veterans, as the squad looks to build off the momentum of its fourth World Cup win and shake off the demons of an early exit at Rio 2016. Andonovski, who took over in late October from longtime coach Jill Ellis, has made a smooth transition into the head coaching role, players said on Saturday, a day ahead of their SheBelieves Cup game against Spain.
In terms of the resumption of the championship - for now we don't talk about it. Serie A and the Italian football federation (FIGC) both want to complete the season, although the Italian government says it has not yet decided whether it will give its permission to do so. Across Europe, the French league has been abandoned with Paris St-Germain awarded the title. In Germany, the Bundesliga is set to become the first major football league in Europe to return to competition.

Fulham’s spate of losses came straight after a four-game winning run, so it’s safe to say they can be a side who get results in bunches. We expect that to be the case once again here, as they are on the road to face a Luton side who have been poor since gaining promotion to the Championship. They’re just a point clear of safety and they could slip into the bottom three here.
Other goalscoring factors have dropped too, including shots per game - down from 25. So are there signs that some teams have found it difficult to get going again?The struggling sides who occupy the bottom five places in the table have failed to win any of their games since the restart, while third-placed Leicester have not picked up a victory either. Sheffield United have suffered particularly badly, with their form pre-lockdown putting them in European contention but a draw and two losses since - without scoring - dropping them down to ninth.
Whilst Corinthians may have scraped a Copa Libertadores place, it's not been a great season for them. They started off fairly well but have dropped like a stone in recent months, winning just 3 of their last 15 games and sacking manage Fabio Carille along the way.
Cas cleared City of "disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions" and cut the club's fine from 30m euros (£26. I'm] incredibly happy for the decision which shows what all the people said about the club was not true and to defend on the pitch what we won on the pitch," said the Spaniard. Like I said many times, if we did something wrong we would accept the decision of Uefa and Cas because we did something wrong.
Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson frequently change games with their assists, but they can play as extra wingers in the knowledge Van Dijk is covering behind.

We're all happy that we're able to sign Danel, he's a young player full of potential," Norwich boss Daniel Farke said in a staement. He's pretty interesting because he can play more or less all offensive positions.
Wolves: Lacking depthWith 11 players playing at least two-thirds of minutes this season, Wolves have the most settled side in the Premier League but very little squad depth beyond it, having used the fewest players overall (20). Of their first-team players, Joao Moutinho is the only one approaching the end of his career, but the club may have to spend big to adequately fill the boots of the influential midfielder.
Ostersunds was mine. The Seagulls had given leaders Liverpool a late score on Saturday and, on a night to remember, they carried on from where they left off at Anfield to climb three places up the table to 13th - one point behind Arsenal. Brighton's first Premier League win since 2 November was built on guts and determination. While Maupay, who now has five goals this season, and 19-year-old Aaron Connolly tormented lacklustre Arsenal, Webster and Dunk were solid at the back for the visitors.

I feel as though there's still more to come from this team. We've had an amazing year and that's just driven us on to want more. Hopefully that will never change and I have got no doubt about that with the type of players we have and the mentality in the dressing room.

Scunthorpe won 2-0 away at Leyton Orient last time out and moved up into nineteenth place as a result, while Port Vale secured a 2-1 win at Carlisle to keep their unbeaten run and promotion push going.
We just looked at it and looked at the personnel we had. We can always go back to that or we can stay with the three [at the back]. So we're flexible with whatever formation we want to play. The new system allows Lennon to play an extra central defender, as well as full-backs like Greg Taylor and Jeremie Frimpong in more attacking roles on either wing. Yet the manager thinks the addition of an a second central forward is the most important element of the tactical switch.
One more match for tonight with possible goals and from Dutch elite league, where I will surely try this option. So, let's start from the home team and that is team who is have problems with scoring this season and result of that style is just two wins in last ten matches in league. Willem II is in this moment better team, that is clear, but we will see if they will win here or not. 2-1, 0-2 and 4-0, they are played in last three matches, so it will be very interesting here. I believe surely in goals and I will try that.

Mesut Ozil - Yes, we know, we know. Ozil is one of the most frustrating figures, for Arsenal fans and fantasy football players alike. So much talent, but precious little return of late. However, he has started Arsenal's last five games and has created 15 chances in that time.
