We're really starting to gel and you're starting to see this new product of football out on the field. I think, scary thing is, we're only going to get better. Bumps in the road are inevitable, however, as the former coach of the NWSL's OL Reign - formerly known as Reign FC - will be faced with the unenviable task of cutting the existing 20-person qualifying roster to 18 for the Tokyo Olympics.
I would start saving players for it because that's what City have got to start focusing on. Speaking on the Monday Night Club, Wright said Guardiola, who won two Champions League titles in charge of Barcelona, will be determined to win it again with City after not doing so at previous club Bayern Munich. Guardiola said he thinks he will be regarded as a failure at City if he does not win the Champions League, with the club having failed to progress beyond the quarter-finals so far under the Spaniard.
LONDON, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Pep Guardiola refused to criticise his players but said they must do better next season after Manchester City wasted numerous chances, missed a penalty and had Oleksandr Zinchenko sent off in a 2-0 Premier League loss at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. The Spaniard took close to an hour to appear for his post-match news conference, prompting talk of a dressing down for his players after a sixth league loss of the season which left them 22 points behind leaders Liverpool.
Sampdoria have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 15 matches and have not managed to score more than a goal in their last three matches. Three of Sampdoria’s last five matches have yielded over 2. Playing at home has not offered much comfort for Sampdoria; they have one win in six home matches.
Posted at 54' Attempt saved. Patrick Bamford (Leeds United) right footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the bottom left corner. Livingston fought back to earn an impressive draw at Hibernian and stay ahead of their hosts in fifth place in the Scottish Premiership. Christian Doidge broke the deadlock just after half time for Hibs, with a close-range flick past Robby McCrorie.
Managua FC currently leading the league, they have won 9 games from 14 played. Managua FC are still unbeaten at home after 6 games played. They scored 15 and allowed just 6 goals in these matches. Deportivo Ocotal are the second worst in the league with two wins only. They have 8 losses in 14 matches played, scored just nine goals in total in the league this season.
The German was quick to praise the Brazilian Copa Libertadores winners and their huge travelling support, saying that after debate over how much the trophy would mean for Liverpool, he now had no doubt. I said before I didn’t know how it would feel and now I can say – it's outstanding," he said. Not for the first time in Liverpool's run of success under Klopp, it was a late goal that decided the match.
Nantes could be held back by their away form going into this one though as they are winless in their last four games on the road. They've conceded six and scored just one goal in this time and with them struggling to impress against extremely beatable sides like Brest (1-1) and Metz (0-1) in this time it could be a tricky trip for les Canaris.
Ipswich Town will host Blackpool for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Ipswich is one of the main favorites in the fight for direct promotion. They are currently on the 2nd place with 33 points. Yeah, the hosts have two consecutive victories. True, they played against weak opponents. In last game Ipswich is won 0-1 against Rochdale. Also, we have Blackpool who's is also ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 28 points. They have two consecutive victories. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Blackpool to win.

It's the first time I went 'I really miss it'. It's a bit of lockdown cabin fever too. But when I saw that I really missed it. EFL club doctors are split over restart plans and smaller clubs may struggle to abide by social distancing and testing requirements, says a leading medic. QPR's head of medical Dr Imtiaz Ahmad said there was "varying opinion" among his colleagues in the Football League regarding finishing this season.
The fact Klopp’s experiment was vindicated? Irrelevant. You see, Klopp’s absence sent a clear message to the U23 side: ‘Lads, none of you will make it’. It also sent a clear message to Shrewsbury: ‘You don’t matter’. Both are acceptable beliefs when you manage one of the richest teams in the world, but it doesn’t say much for the state of the game.
Leaving the public purse to pick up the cost of furloughing low paid workers, whilst players earn millions and billionaire owners go untouched is something I know the public will rightly take a very dim view of," wrote Dowden. At a time of national crisis, our national sport must play its part. I expect to see the football authorities judge the mood of the country and come together with an agreement urgently," he added.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo says his side's 4-0 victory over Espanyol in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie "does not mean anything". The Premier League club have one foot in the next round after Diogo Jota's hat-trick and Ruben Neves' goal, but Nuno says the "approach is the same". This is a new game, a new challenge, so we have to compete well," said the Wolves boss. The approach is the same.
Nicosia's derby will be played today, with rivals Olympiakos from Nicosia and Omonia from Nicosia. I expect that the guests with the form they currently have everything in favor of them. They are playing good and can chase the victory, while the host, who is in very poor form, I expect them to defend themselves and try to create chances through counter attack or break. I expect a win for the guests here in this match. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches and is in amazing momentum. It is their opportunity to win here and climb the table.
Consecutive wins have lifted Los Rojiblancos up to 4th in the table following a concerning slip down to 7th in mid-December, and Diego Simeone's side will now aim to solidify their spot in the top four and also reel in leaders Barca, who are currently seven points clear of them at the head of affairs.

It continued a frustrating run of results for Sevilla, the stalemate being their fifth game without a win. However, they may have turned a corner since. Their 3-0 win at high-flying Getafe in La Liga brought a smile back to the face of Julen Lopetegui and brought the club back up to fourth in the table.
Arsenal have their troubles in the season but not as much as Norwich, who have now lost all their three matches after the restart. Norwich have been poor in both defence and attack and going to face Arsenal, they will miss defender Timm Klose on suspension and Christoph Zimmermann, Sam Byram and Grant Hanley on injury. Added to their poor scoring run and pressures in the relegation fight, we don’t back the visitors to take much from the Emirates. Arsenal have also had their fair share of tough times. Going to this game, they have not been scoring a lot of goals but have failed to score in just one of their 15 home league matches. Fortunately, they face a side not known for scoring lots of goals and whose lead scorer is also on a dry spell. Based on that, we are backing this game to yield under 2.5 goals.
Gubbio fc have 0 win and 2 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 3 goals and conceded 7 goals in the last 5 league matches.

Look at the spine of his successful Chelsea team for example - Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba - who were so consistent, they were like a machine. He has not got that same trust with Ndombele, and he is trying to deal with that in his usual way - but it is hard to find the right balance when you speak to young players now. Yes, he is Tottenham's record signing at £54m, but he has only just turned 23 and as a young lad moving to London and having to settle, he has had a lot to deal with in the past few months.

For the hosts, this season can be the one where they will end in top 2 and find their way to the extra league of Belarus. Gomel looks like one of the strongest teams in the second league and I think that they will start this season with a convincing victory. Gomel was the best team at home in the previous season where they won 11 of 14 matches. They lost only against teams which get promoted to extra league. Naftan was average team and they lost 0:3 at home in the previous clash against Gomel. I pick here Asian handicap for Gomel
Dean Smith's side have now lost three of their five games since the restart, drawing the other two, but while they have arguably got what they deserved in some of the previous fixtures, they can count themselves unfortunate not to have secured what would have been a hard-fought point at Anfield. For well over an hour Villa went toe-to-toe with the champions. They were strong and disciplined in defence and looked lively in attack, particularly on the counter.
Why pick a DRAW here:-Hannover are unbeaten in their last nine home matches the guest also are unbeaten in their last seven Away matches. Their most recent head to head matches also support my draw, their recent forms. The host have eight out of sixteen draws at home while the guest have thirteen draws so far in 2nd Bundesliga. Both have scored in the last five encounters. At this stage nine of the team are playing for something. Note most of the teams with same quality normally draws. So I strongly feel that a draw will be the most appropriate pick here
Whilst their away form is highly inconsistent, Plymouith's home record is very good and that leaves confidence high coming into Wednesday's game. The side have won their last 5 home league matches whilst scoring 13 times and having plunged in an average of 2.09 goals a game in League 2 at Home Park, their firepower in front of the home crowd is there for all to see.
Cardiff and Nantes remain in dispute over the transfer fee for Sala. The Welsh club had refused to pay any of the fee, claiming the agreement was not legally binding so Sala was not officially their player when he died. But in September, world governing body Fifa ruled the club should pay the first instalment of £5. Nantes. Cardiff have challenged the ruling and a Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing in Lausanne is expected in the spring, with a judgement due to follow in June.
