Home form remains strong for City with five wins out of seven in the Premier League this season. Recent games against Manchester United have seen City win four of the last five league meetings.
At the time the suspension of the league took place, Benfica were only a point behind the league leaders.

Everton, who were almost always first to the ball, played fast and furiously as Goodison roared its approval at a win that moved the club provisionally out of the relegation zone. Ferguson said it was "not realistic" to consider himself a candidate as permanent manager but, with no obvious alternative in sight, there will be those who may now disagree.
In terms of his general play, Kean had nine touches of the ball - the fewest of any player until his replacement, Niasse, came on for the final two minutes and touched the ball four times.

Niasse, in contrast, won 50% of his duels and did not lose possession once while making two tackles - as many as centre-back Michael Keane.
The 56-year-old Portuguese head coach's new side should really have romped home after strikes by Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane, whose 175th goal for the north London club moved him up to third on their all-time scorers' list. Mourinho chose to highlight the contribution of midfielder Dele Alli, who produced an outrageous piece of skill in the lead-up to Spurs' second goal by somehow scooping the ball down the line to Son when it had appeared out of play.
Taichung Futuro Will Play Against Taipower in the Premier League of Taiwan on Sunday. Taichung Futuro are currently third in the table with two Wins and Two Draws.

Hertha BSC will play in front of domestic fans against Mainz 05, five points is a gap between them at standings, and Mainz is just one place above relegation zone, and if they want to avoid relegation in current season they need to change something urgently, their major problems is weak defense, they own the worst defense in Bundesliga, also they collected four defeats in a row. Hertha not playing so well at home in current season, but this duel should not be problem for them, Like baking will be in attack, Grujic, Dilrosun and Wolf will be behind him, by my opinion, Hertha will win in this duel without problems.
The young right-back is Premier League proven and has been one of Norwich’s best players this season which, coupled with what will likely be a relatively low-price tag, should make Aarons a key target.

Northampton is in 6th place with 52 points and they have 4 points more than other 3 teams that are following it and maybe they can be dangerous. Against Northampton today is Swindon that is in 1st place with 60 points 2 points more than second place and 6 points more than Plymouth that is in 4th place. They are in a good moment and in a great form but I see a difficult match for them today against Northampton that is also fighting for automatic promotion. They have 5 points less than Exeter that is in 3rd place and they are not far for Northampton. However I expect a difficult match for both teams and a match that both teams don't want to lose so I expect a draw here.
It still seems slightly fanciful to think of the Yorkshire side truly being in the race for the Champions League but the next run of games offers them a great chance to push into the top four. Up next for United are relegation battlers Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa and Norwich City -- an expected haul of points from those games could really set Bramall Lane alive with expectation.

Newcastle started the second half with more impetus, and Allan Saint-Maximin, charismatic as ever, led their charge, but the Magpies died away and allowed Villa to close the game out with ease.

Having so many new players, so many new pieces, bringing in Anthony (Davis).

Hellas Verona fc is here to host Lecce fc on Sunday. To my own view I see that the hosts are strong as they drew their last game against Bologna fc which ended with 1-1 scoreline and the visitors also shared the spoil when they host Inter Milan and that game ended with 1-1 scoreline. Their head to head encounter the hosts have won last with a margin of one goal so I think there will be few goals from this game as both last games produced under three goals so there is a great chance of less goals.

He expected you to work hard; he didn't praise you for it.
