Not only did Spurs offer little in defeat against The Saints, but they also lost their captain and chief goal-getter Harry Kane to injury. In addition, key midfield player Tanguy Ndombele was also forced off injured. It's fair to say that 2020 didn't start as well as manager Jose Mourinho would've hoped.
Speaking at UEFA's 500 Days to Go launch event, where it was announced that Manchester United's Old Trafford will host the tournament's curtain raiser on 7 July 2021, Nobbs said: "Football comes with injuries and you just have to take the good with the bad. Ten months I was out with a knee injury and now I'm playing every single week, so it'll definitely come thick and fast I just hope that we keep going in the right direction.
Hitchin is sitting near the bottom but quite safe from relegation with 39 points won by them so far this season they are really too far away from the relegation zone to be involved in that fight but should play relaxed here having really nothing to lose also being a too long distance away from the play-off place in this ending of the season and still a remarkable result from them earlier this season when they defeated this Peterborough Sports side with no less than 4-0 away from home so really anything can happen in this encounter but goals are indeed expected.
The guests are just a newly promoted side and have played 2 games so far this new year in the league and lost both of them as they lost last round with 4-2 at home with Dep. Cuenca while in their first game they ended up losing with 2-1 away at El Nacional so quite not bad at scoring goals but problem is Barcelona SC especially at home is very hard to score against, and with such a defense the hosts should really be good enough for putting a couple of goals in their opponents goal.
English FA Cup and match between Sheffield United and Arsenal. I think the home team has fallen into form after two straight losses after the break and no goals scored. Both matches were lost by 0-3 and now they face a side Arsenal that defeated Southampton by 2-0 in the last match. For the bookmakers arsenal is the fav, but I see good chances that the host will keep a positive result. They won against arsenal 1-0 at the beginning of the season and arsenal are not an overseas team while Sheffield is already very strong at home. I think this game will end in a draw and we could see a second leg.
It added on Twitter: "When you use homophobic chants you aren't abusing most Chelsea fans who will be straight, but all gay fans whether they support Chelsea or West Ham. We're better than that and can come up with much smarter chants that don't abuse our own fans. We shouldn't be the club appearing in the news for homophobia. Let's not join their ranks. Be better. Be West Ham. Support the whole West Ham Family, no matter race, gender, sexuality or anything else.
We showed a good attitude and never lost control of the game, we should appreciate that. I understand that there is a tendency to stick the knife in at every opportunity but we should look on the bright side so that we don't lose our heads. Valverde's side will seal their place in the knockout stages as group winners if they beat Dortmund, who are second in the standings on seven points and would advance to the last 16 with victory at the Camp Nou.
It is the fact that guests are favorites in this match from Spain Primera and also, I believe that they will win in this match surely, that is clear. In this moment, Leganes is in big problems and team is so far had just six points, while Barcelona in this moment is have even 25 points. Of course, in some earlier seasons, Leganes was know to make big surprises at home, but this time, that is not real to do it. Barca will play against Dortmund, in Champions league and that is hard duel, but they will still win here.
The Blues could have had more but three was plenty against a Clarets side who rarely threatened, coming closest to a goal through a Ben Mee header that Ross Barkley hacked off the line. Chelsea were assured of being fourth in the league regardless of Saturday's result, but the win ensures they preserve a five-point cushion between themselves and Manchester United, who lead the pack below them chasing Champions League qualification.
Two of the worst teams go head to head. Four defeats in four games for the Lions who are last. Ming Chuan only took one point, however the Lions conceded seventeen goals in four games demonstrating how bad their defense is. Taicheng was a point supplier for big teams last season. In all four games of the new season, they conceded massive number of goals with results of twice 0: 4, 1: 6 and 2: 3. Logical that Taicheng currently on the last place in the table. Ming Chuan also only managed one point. There were 3 defeats and a 2: 2 draw against NTUS. After all, the Ming Chuan U did not perform as disastrously as the Lions and so they should have a edge here.
Of course contingency plans are discussed and part of our overall planning. I am yet to understand what the impact of the partial lockdown in Leicester is going to have on the club but clearly it demonstrates the fragile project we have on here. We cannot take it for granted. Leicester, third in the Premier League, travel to Everton on Wednesday before the visit of Palace. Speaking about the coronavirus spike in the city, Hancock said Leicester had "10% of all positive cases in the country over the past week".
Championship clubs hope to gain government clearance for a 25 May return to regular training, as part of plans to resume the 2019-20 season. It is understood a target restart of 6 June has been discussed but clubs still anticipate a more likely 13 June date, in line with the Premier League. All 24 clubs held a conference call on Wednesday, after an EFL board meeting. League One and Two clubs will speak on Friday, when the prospect of ending the season seems certain to move closer.
Australia will face China, Chinese Taipei and Thailand over seven days. The Matildas need to finish first or second in the group to progress to the next stage of qualifying, a two-leg play-off to reach Tokyo 2020. BBC Sport has launched #ChangeTheGame to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before. Through more live women's sport available to watch across the BBC, complemented by our journalism, we are aiming to turn up the volume on women's sport and alter perceptions.
Aged 21 years and 297 days, Carles Perez is the youngest Spaniard to score on his Champions League debut for Barcelona since Cristian Tello (20 years 209 days) v Bayer Leverkusen in March 2012. Inter's Romelu Lukaku has scored in back-to-back Champions League games for only the second time, and the first since his first two appearances in the competition for former club Manchester United in September 2017.
However, on Sunday Ozil had one of his best games of an otherwise miserable season in which he has provided just one assist in 10 Premier League appearances. He helped create numerous attacking moves until his late substitution, something Arteta appeared to appreciate. I am hoping that he can sustain that level every three or four days.
Odriozola is a much-needed option at fullback for interim coach Flick, who is struggling with a string of injuries to defenders. I am open and he has so far left a really good impression," Flick told reporters on Friday when asked if Odriozola was ready to play in Munich on Saturday. He is a good sort, an offensive defender, very versatile and flexible and also has good crosses.

This weekend, a match is played in the elite league in Czech Republic, Plzen plays at home against Sparta Prague. Viktoria Plzeň's 1-0 loss in the middle of the week almost ended their chances of winning the title and halted an unbeaten streak of 12 games in the league. They did not concede goals in seven of their wins during that period, something that has also happened in his last four wins against Sparta Prague in this venue. There have been no goals from both teams in any of their last six league clashes at home. In this match I will take a bet on that it will end a draw. Both teams need point and won't risk much.
Australian soccer, W-League, play offs final between Melbourne City W and Sydney W. There is no big quality difference between these two teams so I expect very difficult and balanced match. The match will be played without fans so none of this team will have any kind of advantage, however in the end, I expect Melbourne city w to win the trophy. They have been better all season long so I doubt they will slip up in the final and miss this opportunity. The match is played in Melbourne. my bet is Melbourne City W ah -1.5. Good luck guys.
Encounters between Newcastle and Palace tend to be tight, with the teams sharing the points in two of their last three meetings. The Magpies finished level with their visitors in four of their last seven home matches, and we think Palace's recent unbeaten run should galvanise them sufficiently to avoid defeat again.
The two losses remain their only defeats in the last 15 matches. They have 10 wins in the last 15 matches. In their last eight matches, they have managed five clean sheets and have failed to score in just one of their last 15 matches. Sevilla have seen three of their last 10 matches end in over 2. At home, they have had a good run in recent matches; they go to this clash having lost once in the last nine home matches.
I like the players, I don't need to spend huge amounts. Mourinho also said he was delighted to have Levy, who has a reputation as a tough negotiator, behind him at Tottenham. He has a vision and part of that vision is to make the club better, bigger. There is no better and bigger football club without a better and bigger football team, so keeping the best players is obviously part of that plan.
Albion and Villa have looked less than prolific up front of late, averaging just 0.8 goals per 90 minutes over their last six games respectively, and even with clean sheets out of the question for both porous defences, a goal a piece seems about the limit of their current attacking capabilities.
Pogba responded by saying he did not know who the three-time European Cup winner was. I heard he was a great player and stuff like that. I know the face but (not) the name," Pogba said. I watch a lot of football but I don't stay after the game to listen to what they say about why they did this or why they did that.
Match of Scottish Cup where team Albion Rovers will play at home with team Airdrieonians. Hosts are playing in League 2. After last 2 matches played they did defeat and victory. Guests are playing in League 2. After last 2 matches played they did 2 wins. It will be a hard match for both teams. My bet here on hosts how 1X. Albion Rovers most of their points took at home matches and match with represent of League 1 will be very important for them. Cups matches are always held with surprises. I am thinking that it will be our match .
So he still needs to work on his side's style of play, but of course getting a result this way still has plenty of positives. Mourinho has been talking a lot about how his players lack confidence, which he probably did not expect when he arrived at the club. Well, getting through games like this one will give the players lots of belief, and we saw some other important signs too. Mourinho has sorted out Christian Eriksen's situation, by selling him to Inter, while Jan Vertonghen, another player whose future is uncertain because he is out of the contract at the end of the season, was on the bench.
Speaking of his famous father, midfielder Ianis said: "Other people can speak about whether we are comparable, but one quality I have inherited from him would be ambition. Barcelona and Real Madrid great Gheorghe is widely regarded as Romania's greatest player of all time. BLADES SIGN DUTCH STRIKER ZIVKOVIC Sheffield United have followed up the signing of Sander Berge with the capture of Dutch goalscorer Richairo Zivkovic.
Shrewsbury average 1.67 points per home game and Coventry average 0.88 points per away game, with the hosts scoring an average of 1.22 goals per home game and conceding an average of 1.22 goals while Coventry score an average of 1.13 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.63 goals, all of which ties in well with our prediction for a 1-1 draw this weekend.
A massive moment went against us' - reactionHibernian head coach Jack Ross: "It was a difficult tie for us. The expectation and pressure was all on us. We have to handle that and we did it for most parts. It was always going to be an open game because of that. A difficult match but one we are delighted to come out on top of. Inverness CT manager John Robertson: "A massive moment went against us - a clear penalty kick.
That was Roberto's man-management style all over. He was fantastic - he took all the pressure off us and made sure everyone was relaxed and calm. He just wanted us to play without fear. Then, before we went into the tunnel, he asked us all if we thought we deserved the trophy. I think the way we played showed that we all did. Barrow, who was Wigan's manager when they signed Martinez as a player in 1995, had spent his entire playing and managerial career in non-league and the lower leagues before joining Martinez as Wigan's first-team coach in 2009Graham Barrow: "Playing the semi-final at Wembley definitely helped us.
They might have done it. I went straight from London to the King Power after calling my dad, live on air. There were tears cleaning the London dust off my shoes. There were about 5,000 Foxes supporters celebrating at the ground until 1am that night. I was one of them, permitted to be a fan again, which isn't really allowed in our job. We sang and hugged all night, I was back there for a beautiful sunrise the following day to report to the world.

It’s not the success that’s truly special, but the glory,” he says. Astounding, varied games, featuring kickings, robberies, comebacks and thrillers, amazing goals, exceptional competition, absurd characters, elephantine testicles and staggering plot twists. Or, put another way, it encompassed so much of what makes United, sport and life so compelling.
All bar six of the 77 people on board were killed, including almost all the players and backroom staff. With the aid of loan signings and an outpouring of support from across the globe, the team quickly recovered to maintain top flight status in 2017 and 2018, both times managing to outperform bigger teams with more fans and larger budgets.
German second-tier side Dynamo Dresden have returned two more positive tests for coronavirus. The Bundesliga 2 club put their entire squad and coaching staff into isolation for two weeks on 9 May after two players tested positive. Another player and the partner of a member of the coaching staff have also now tested positive for Covid-19. They will be placed under further quarantine, but the team will still resume training from Saturday.
I remember Cristiano getting stick early doors," Wales manager Ryan Giggs said at the time. It's that kind of club. It's a club like no other where the white handkerchiefs come out if they don't like you. That's just the way it is. Last year, the animosity reached a stage where Real manager Zinedine Zidane said it would be "best for everyone" if Bale left. Although Bale ignored the Bernabeu jeers and stayed in Madrid, his opportunities to play with Wales felt increasingly like an escape from the hostility - and Wales were happy to offer that haven.
On top of that, we’re backing a 2-1 home victory for the Blues. The hosts have conceded in their last 12 in the Championship – including each of their last six at home – so we expect them to slip up. Wigan have lost by a single goal in 67% of their away defeats so far, so we are going with a 2-1 victory for the home side in this one.

Lazio went top of the Serie A table for the first time in almost a decade thanks to victory over Bologna. They took advantage of the fact previous leaders Juventus' game against third-placed Inter Milan on Sunday was postponed because of coronavirus. Luis Alberto gave Lazio the lead from just outside the box from Ciro Immobile's pass and then set up Joaquin Correa's deflected strike. Bologna had two goals disallowed by the video assistant referee.
Each game has it's own history and it's own preparation. In the next game we have to decide again who plays. The performance was good. We kept West Ham, a good team with good players, away from our goal and we managed the second half well. I take satisfaction from that. But we hope and pray that soon we can play in front of fans. Nuno's 100% record against West Ham - the statsNuno has won all four of his meetings with West Ham as a manager, his best 100% record against an opponent in league competition.
The two head to the game with 12 points separating them, Monaco having managed 32 and Amiens 20. Going to the clash, Amiens have not managed a win in their last eight matches; they have lost four of those but they will have something to build on, having played to 0-0 draws in the last two matches. In their most recent loss, they fell to a late goal in a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Brest and they will be aiming at doing better here.
