let's take a look at the Indian premier league where northeast united will welcome jamshedpur at the Indira Gandhi athletic stadium. The hosts are performing poorly failing to find a win in their last 5 attempts they are second last on the log with 12 points from 14 games there biggest problem has been defending they have only managed 1 clean sheet in their last 5 games. The visitors are poor to with only 1 win in their last seven attempts they are 7th on the log with 16 points from 15 games. With these two sides having problems at the back I think we will see goals today
Without a win in 9 league matches, Newport are heavily struggling and are under big pressure. The fact that the hosts have also lost 6 of said fixtures is an even bigger concern and if things don't pick up swiftly, it'll be action at the bottom end of the table they'll be dragged into rather than at the top.
United's leading goalscorer Rooney left Old Trafford in 2017 after 13 years and spent a season back at boyhood club Everton before heading to DC United in Major League Soccer. In January he returned to England to take up a player-coach role alongside Phillip Cocu at Derby, and Carrick - on the coaching staff with United - expects Rooney to continue behind the scenes. He knows the game so well, he's intelligent on the pitch, and he's gone on to lead like he did in his final years at United.
Tammy Abraham's chance to score a point-blank tap-in was brilliantly saved by Hugo Lloris in the 78th minute before Alonso's free-kick crashed off the bar moments later. And the game took a tense turn for Chelsea in the final moments as a low ball from Erik Lamela looking for fellow substitute Dele Alli was deflected in by Rudiger.
The hosts have also seen two-thirds of their home wins come against the same strugglers. Against the rest of the league, their record isn’t that great. They’ve otherwise won two of eight home matches, conceding nine times. We expect them to struggle against this Hull side on Wednesday, with the Tigers looking strong on the road.
United narrowly beat Astana 1-0 in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford when Solskjaer fielded a second string side and the Norwegian said he expected a similar game at the Astana Arena. I think this is going to be an even, tight game," he added. We have some young players. If they're going to learn to play these games I think it's a great start for them.
Porto have won the title already and it didn't prove to be too difficult a task thanks to Benfica's form. They are in top form and scoring a fair few goals too and can get some more against Braga. The home side are already in next season's Europa League but have only a point from their last two league games. Go for Porto to end their league season with an away win.
It was all about resilience and character and just getting stuck in, basically. I'm just delighted for the players. Hearts manager Daniel Stendel: "St Mirren fought from the first minute. Forty-five minutes is not enough in a game like this. Everybody expected that you fight and have desire in every game. I know this is disappointing for all. Maybe they've lost a little bit of hope for our big goal.
Brighton and Chelsea contested a hard-fought draw in one of the Premier League’s lunchtime, New Years’ Day kick-offs, where the hosts salvaged a point with a stunning late strike from Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Chelsea took a deserved lead after ten minutes when captain Cesar Azpilicueta tapped home from close range after a Tammy Abraham shot was cleared off the line.
It was a comfortable evening for us. When you have two players in those advanced midfield positions against Watford, you have to get players behind their midfield. Mason Mount's pass is wrapped through the front line [in the build-up to first goal]. I like working with that position because it's where I played and it's important we have quality in that area to unlock the door. Watford manager Nigel Pearson told Sky Sports: "I thought we played with discipline.

A third moment came and went when Tom Rogic almost scored, the ball bouncing off him in the box and hitting Johnsson's right-hand post. Edouard had a shot deflected just wide and before the half was up the striker had another effort, a header from point-blank range following a delicious cross from Rogic. You'd have bet your life on him putting it away, but instead he put it straight at Johnsson. Celtic Park held its head in its hands in angst.
The Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 both began allowing moves on Saturday and all the window in all countries will stay open until Friday January 31. The top 10 January transfer targets - and where they could go Paul Pogba heads the list of potential big-names who could be on the move with Real Madrid and Juventus heavily linked with the midfielder whose agent has again spoken about his unhappiness with the hierarchy at Old Trafford.
Arsenal U23 and Derby U23 will face each other in the upcoming match in the Premier League 2. Arsenal U23 this season have the following results: 6W, 5D and 2L. Meanwhile Derby U23 have 7W, 4D and 2L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Again, senior executives were allowed into the Allianz Arena in Turin but no relatives of the players. It would be down to the Premier League to decide acceptable numbers once a closed doors game was confirmed. How would the practicalities be dealt with?Premier League matches are big business. For the biggest clubs, fans fly in from all over the world. If tickets are paid for and travel booked, what is to stop fans coming to the grounds anyway and standing outside while the matches take place? After all, fan parks at major tournaments are often made up of people who have gone to host cities even though they are not actually getting in to see any football.
Toulouse should be eyeing up this awful away form as a big opportunity but les Violets have hardly shown anything in recent weeks to suggest that they are capable of winning this match. The Pink City club recently appointed Ligue 1 stalwart Antoine Kombouaré and while they won their first match under the New Caledonian, it has been rather downhill since then.
Right now it is a moot point anyway as the Glazer family don't seem as if they want to sell. Team selection Phil Jones and Fred have both come under pressure from fans for their poor performancesLuke Foley: Why is Mason Greenwood not starting now Marcus Rashford is injured?I go back to the point I made earlier about Brandon Williams. You cannot expect young players to be consistent. There are other examples - but if I exclude Wayne Rooney, who physically was beyond his years at 18, the last forward I remember playing every week for a top club at such a young age was Michael Owen, who was one of the best England has ever had.
Inter were one of four Serie A clubs to postpone their game last weekend with more league matches affected this weekend. Five games, including Juventus versus Inter in Turin on Sunday, will be played without any fans. A number of Italian sporting events have been affected and on Wednesday it was announced that Ireland's men's and women's Six Nations games against Italy in Dublin on 7 and 8 March would be postponed because of the virus.
There is no favorite in this duel between Aston Villa and Norwich City, both clubs are in relegation zone, and only Watford is behind them at standings. Aston Villa is in little better situation, since they will play at home ground, and they are three points above the opponent at standings, but I doubt that they will to play risky in this duel, since they collected four defeats in a row, so the worst result for them would be another defeat. Norwich City was defeated in last round against Wolves, 1-2, but round before they played a draw at away against Leicester, by my opinion, Norwich is able to stay undefeated in this duel.
Subs: De Bruyne 6, Bernardo 7, Jesus 6. KEY MOMENTS 20’ GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester City (Aguero) City take the lead with an excellently worked goal. Rodri curled an angled pass over the defence to Foden, who headed it down into the path of Aguero on the six-yard line. He twisted his body to hit a first-time shot that took a slight deflection off Mings and beat Nyland.
Ex-City defender Micah Richards: "That title-winning team of 2011-12 is better than the City team now. Yes, the way City play is better now but in terms of player-for-player, our team back then was better. I would back us all day if we played them. The current City team can be got at, and people have realised that, so there is no way our defence now is better, in any way. The stats back that up with the number of clean sheets we kept that season - 17 in 38 league games.
Leyton Orient fc will have a game at their home soil against Mansfield fc this coming Tuesday, these rivals have meet only once where the hosts were on the road to the visitors and they beat them with three goals to two.

Real are now second in the standings on 28 points after 13 games, level with leaders Barca who beat Leganes 2-1 earlier on Saturday. The home side took a while to find their composure after their nightmare start but eventually equalised when Benzema met a free kick from Modric and guided the ball into the net with his chest.
Whilst Boca Juniors would much rather be contesting the Copa Libertadores final this weekend, as rivals River Plate are, they can only focus on the task at hand, which is this league match. Indeed, having lost their domestic crown to Racing Club last season, running out kings of Argentina is a real objective for El Xeneize this term and winning games like Sunday's is going to be key if they are to do so.
Football match from the Argentina Primera C an we have Deportivo Espanyol playing host to Canuelas. In this match I will try with a full time draw as I really don't see anything to separate both teams.

However, the former Southampton player's spell has also been interrupted by a series of injuries, and it is 30-year-old Henderson - who Liverpool signed in 2011 - he credits for helping him get through tough moments. Having been with Jordan throughout the whole journey, I've been lucky enough to be alongside him when he had his dark moments - and he's also been alongside me in my dark moments, injuries," Lallana told the Liverpool club website.

Real won some important duels in the recent time, and they went up from the bottom of the competition at the moment. Ocotal is in the drop, and squad is playing much weaker when on side. Real will not head in this game, having big pressure on the Deportivo, but even one goal, like in the recent win, should be enough to make it to the victory and three point here.
After their industrious and impressive end to the first half, it would have given them a deserved lead. As it stands, Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal changed the entire match. MAN OF THE MATCH Jordan Henderson (Liverpool): Henderson has come to the fore in recent weeks and the Liverpool captain put in another fine performance today.
Setien, a chess enthusiast who had often been linked with the Barcelona job in the past, must rearrange the pieces to give the Catalans their identity back. As Valverde discovered, domestic silverware is not enough at Barcelona. Fans demand Champions League success as well as quality performances. Setien delivered an example of what his sides are capable of last season when Betis beat Barcelona 4-3 at Camp Nou -- the first team in two years to triumph there and also the last side to do so.
UEFA are happy to play the games behind closed doors if that is necessary. Paper Round’s view: UEFA and the domestic leagues have such huge figures riding on completing their obligations that they are finding it almost impossible to contemplate simply writing off the games ahead and starting afresh in September.

This is going to be a first game for Carlo Ancelotti on Everton bench and I expect victory for sure and that is because Everton show a lot of improvement in last couple of rounds cause they played versus Chelsea arsenal and united and managed to get undefeated in that 3 games and even got a victory versus Chelsea so I surely expect now from them to beat the Burnley at Goodison and a so I expect from Everton to score at least 2 goals and that Will be enough for this bet if they do manage to keep their net intact
Gareth is fine. He has two years left on his contract," he told BBC Sport. He likes living in Madrid and he is going nowhere. He is still as good as anyone else in the team. It's up to [Real Madrid manager] Zinedine Zidane. Of course there's been interest but there's hardly a club in the world which can afford him. It's a great loss that he's not in the Real Madrid team at the moment but he will not leave.

I do not know which players will Salzburg choose to rest but they do need to send a pretty strong side after just drawing 2-2 at home last round with weak St. Polten, they were focused perhaps on their Champions League game with Genk away from home as after a 6-2 win at home with the Belgians they also won 4-1 away in Belgium earlier this week and usually are very attacking minded and like playing weak sides on the road.
Real had two penalty appeals turned down for challenges against Raphael Varane and the club took the unusual decision to highlight these incidents on their official website after the game, questioning why video technology (VAR) was not used. Captain Sergio Ramos and midfielder Casemiro also raged against the decisions, while director of institutional relations Emilio Butragueno said it was "disconcerting" that the referee did not watch the incidents again on the pitchside monitor.
