The current United side look like they have desperately needed a natural centre-forward in their ranks since the departure of Lukaku because they lack a focal point in their attack. Read the full story Barca make Poch number one target According to the Sun, Barcelona have made former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino their top target as they search for a potential replacement for Ernesto Valverde whose current contract expires at the end of the season.
And, incredibly, he was back playing semi-professional football with Stourport during the 2013-14 season. I can't remember how soon I was walking," Curtis says, "but [the doctors] were in shock. And they were shocked that I didn't have a limp as well. They advised against playing football because they said I shouldn't have any hard hits to the head. In my first game, I took an elbow to the face and my dad nearly jumped on to the pitch.
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.
It would not surprise me at all if they went through the season undefeated just like Arsenal did (in 2003-04). Other clubs are in transition in terms of Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea. Leicester have had a brilliant, brilliant season in terms of where they were. But I don't think it's a negative on the standard of the Premier League at all.
Goals from Cabrera, Jorge Molina, Angel and Timor sealed a facile 4-0 success for Getafe at home to Levante on Matchday 15, and the Madrid based outfit are homing in on the top four after accruing 11 points from their last five games.
Second-placed Inter Milan were held to a third successive 1-1 draw after Radja Nainggolan, a player they loaned to Cagliari for this season, scored a second-half equaliser for the Sardinian side in their Serie A match on Sunday. The fiercely competitive Belgian, who was told by Inter coach Antonio Conte that there was no place for him this season, stunned the San Siro with a 78th-minute goal to cancel out Lautaro Martinez's first-half opener for Inter.

Our main area of concern is the lack of cover in central defence with Wes Morgan only just returning from injury and, at 36, his age counting against him. Manager Brendan Rodgers also feels that Filip Benkovic is not yet ready for the step up and it appears that Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard is now top of the manager's wish list. Luke Shaw, a peripheral player at Manchester United, has been linked with us.
Meanwhile, expected to fight for promotion once again coming into the campaign, Middlesbrough's struggles have been one of the most notable stories of the Championship season so far. The Teasiders certainly didn't expect to by lying in 20th place and just 4 points ahead of the drop zone with Christmas approaching, but that's exactly where they find themselves.

And Keown did not mince his words on BT Sport when reflecting on Arsenal’s second-half performance. I think he may well have taken the team as far as he can. We just witnessed an absolute shambles of a performance in that second half," he said. The team selection, the team motivation, the substitutions, the performance, everything was missing tonight.

Carlisle United were one of three teams in League Two to sack their manager last week but they have little time to lick their wounds as the football schedule keeps on rolling.

And so this is a natural evolution, whether or not things like this are going to happen. But ideas like this are going to happen going forward, whether it's now or any other time in the future. Woods, who is seeking a record-breaking 83rd PGA Tour win this week, will play the opening two rounds alongside Justin Thomas and Steve Stricker.
We have been talking about the development of African football for many years," said Infantino. Pele once said that an African team would win the FIFA World Cup, but this hasn't happened and it seems we are not making progress. Today must be the day we turn that page. The (AFCON) generates twenty times less than the Euros (European championship).

Gedson Fernandes has arrived from Benfica on an 18-month loan, and the Warm-Up is tremendously excited to see another promising young player make it in the Premier League … by being sacrificed on the altar of Mourinho’s neurotic pragmatism. Only joking! With Christian Eriksen off to pastures new, with Moussa Sissoko out until April, and with Tanguy Ndombele’s fitness coming and going like the tide, there’s places going in that midfield.
Infantino suggested the Premier League problem may be due to excessive examination of video reviews. In Italy, in Spain, in Portugal, in Germany this offside discussion is not existing on the VAR. But it’s not a problem, it’s something to look into. And maybe it shows that actually it’s more a question of the rule and the application of the rule, and application of the VAR itself.
That run means QPR have now scored twice in four of their last five home matches, while they meet a Leeds team who have scored once in their last three.

It is also not clear how Uefa intends to play out the Champions League and Europa League this season, with both still to complete the last-16 stage. The option of fitting games into the schedule around league matches as normal remains, as does completing the tournaments after domestic leagues have finished. No deadline has been put on making a final decision but the latter choice would seem more likely as it is hoped - by August - that travel restrictions will have eased.
Manchester United's last loss in the Premier League was 2-0 at home to Burnley on 22 January. Fernandes' record mirrors United's own transformation - just the sort of impact you want your game-changing signing to have. He has been the central figure in overhauling what was, at its worst, a 14-point gap between United and Leicester. That turnaround was completed at the King Power Stadium. And the emotions could not have been more contrasting as Manchester United's much-criticised goalkeeper David de Gea ran the length of the field to join in the celebrations for Jesse Lingard's injury-time goal.
Clearly there remains more work to be done by the football authorities in tackling this issue and we are committed to working with them on this to stamp it out. The FA, Premier League and English Football League have significantly stepped up their efforts, but we expect them to continue to prioritise this issue and to consult with both players and supporter groups, and we will be monitoring how the football authorities implement their plans through the season.
I believe that BATE Borisov will not have any problems to win in this match from Belarus Premier league and that is pretty clear for all who are following this league. So, this team is had a lot of problems from the start of season and they are started with two defeats. Still, this time they will be play against one of the weakest teams in league and this will be great chance to win very important three points. I was watched Gorodeya and they are really poor team in all lines. BATE will win this duel with at least 2-0.
Stuttgart play host to Karlsruher on Sunday afternoon, as they look to consolidate their top-three position. The visitors go in search of a first win in four, though they're now unbeaten in five league games and should thus be feeling confident.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Tolu's prediction: This is tricky… I will give that to Chelsea, just. SUNDAYMan City v Fulham (13:00 GMT)Premier League (2nd)vChampionship (3rd)Who did they beat?3R: Port Vale (L2) H3R: Aston Villa (PL) HFulham scored a couple of wonder-goals to beat Aston Villa in round three, and are in good shape at the top end of the Championship too. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Fulham 2-1 Aston Villa highlights But you know that Manchester City will put out a strong line-up as they continue their defence of the FA Cup, and it is hard to see Fulham getting close to them at Etihad Stadium.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1Samuel's prediction: I'm kind of fighting with my answer here but I am going to go with Arsenal, because they have some amazing attacking players and they have just clicked recently. I know Villa are fighting right now but Everton's equaliser against them last week hurt them a lot. WEDNESDAY Man Utd v West Ham (18:00 BST)Manchester United are at home, against a West Ham side who know they are not getting relegated because of their goal difference.
Watford manager Nigel Pearson says it is "debatable" whether the Premier League needs to return in June and that he would want his players to have six weeks of training beforehand. Group training began at Premier League clubs this week with hopes that the season can resume in mid-June. Players] need time to allow their bodies to adapt," Pearson said. When we do restart, the stakes are high. It's got to be timed right and done for the right reasons.
I thought it was a ball to begin with, it was a big old thing. How the fan got it into the stadium I don't know. It didn't miss me by much. The fans can throw some things, but a cabbage? I went the next day, though, so I didn't have time to get angry about it. Bruce guided Villa to the Championship playoff final in the 2017-18 season where they were beaten 1-0 by Fulham to miss out on promotion to the top flight.
Celtic would create further first-half chances. Jullien headed over from a Ryan Christie free-kick, then Odsonne Edouard struck an upright after a McGregor burst. But, like in October, Dykes would give Jullien major problems as the second half began. The Australian striker drove into the box, leaving the defender trailing in his wake, and cut the ball back for Robinson to crash past Forster. Celtic would throw the kitchen sink at Livingston without carving open the well-drilled home side.
But with that trio out injured, the more senior frontline, including Willian, appeared rejuvenated on Sunday and all scored. Those will be lessons that Lampard, still in his second season of management, will learn from. He is also acutely aware of how much more Chelsea need to improve. A quick look at the Premier League table - where Liverpool are 34 points better off than his team - or the sobering first-leg Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, or the recent form of Manchester United, means he still thinks his team are underdogs for a top-four place.
both teams will chase the win here and I m pretty confident that is going to give to us a game with a lot of chances on both sides and at least 3 goals scored at the end combined!rkc did now won for 5 straight games and of course they are very close to relegation zone and versus terrible Sparta defense they should surely be able to score one or two goals and on the other hand Sparta did not won a game on the road since the second game on the road in the season so I expect from them one or two goals also!
However, when he does score they tend to be real beauties - and the one against Brighton was no exception. But for those who think I only pick goal scorers and do not concentrate on performances, think again. Doucoure was the player who chased Aaron Mooy 20 yards and forced the Australia international into an error, allowing Watford to take possession. With almost half the pitch between Doucoure and the Brighton goal the Frenchman planted the most superb strike past Mat Ryan, with five Brighton players closing in.
We are just happy that we will still have him until the end of the season. As reported by the BBC, this is a player who has created 134 (ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR) more goalscoring opportunities than any other player in the Eredivisie since his move to Ajax in 2016. A player who played a role in three goals in the 4-4 draw between Chelsea and Ajax in the Champions League in November.
