Oblak is incredibly important, we have the best goalkeeper in the world," Simeone said. Barcelona have Lionel Messi, who is their difference maker. Oblak's the best and he makes the difference for us. You have to make life difficult for the opponent'Klopp was again left bemused by Simeone after this defeat, suggesting Atletico do not play "proper football". But Simeone was full of credit for his opposite number - calling Liverpool "the best opponent we have faced" and suggesting that his side always play to win.
Given that we tend to shop in the cheaper aisles than most, anyone we get in is usually unheard of, so it'd be daft for me to band around names. So, just Sergio and Virgil please, both on a free. A successful window for us would be one where nobody leaves. Our bright young things such as Emi Buendia, Max Aarons. Todd Cantwell and Jamal Lewis will all head west at some point but if we have them here to the end of the season, that in itself would be a result.
Null and void the seasonThis was - and continues to be - the last resort. Across all four leagues, the domestic campaign has only nine matches left, which could, in theory, be completed in the space of four weeks. Given that backdrop, why would anyone - ulterior motives excepted - want to get rid of the work put in over the previous seven months and pretend it never happened?It is a question clubs across the non-league have been asking since the Football Association rendered their campaign null and void from level three to level six on 26 March.
From the replays available Haller and Antonio both appeared to have been fouled as they strained to reach a cross from Robert Snodgrass, but referee Martin Atkinson’s original interpretation of no foul was not overturned. MAN OF THE MATCH – Michail Antonio (West Ham United) West Ham’s young forward set the tone for this victory, utilising his skill and deft movement to maximum effect and keeping Southampton’s defenders under constant pressure when they had the ball.
Surely a game in which I expect to see a lot of goals because Leyton IA desperate for the win and they Will attack a lot tonight and since their defense is not good and also Northampton is in good shape I think it is very realistic Northampton Will score goal or two and I expect pretty much the same from Leyton cause at gome they are not so bad and either way I think over 2.5 is safe bet and who wants to risk of course could try and go with the over 3.5 on much higher odd of course
Meanwhile, after an 8th place finish last season that saw them qualify for the Copa Sudamericana for the second year running, hopes were high of having a strong campaign in Union ranks. However, currently 16th with just 16 points from 13 games, the side are yet to really get going.
Everton have no clean sheet in their last seven matches. Everton have managed five wins in the last 15 matches. Leicester have five straight away wins. Leicester have two straight wins over Everton. Leicester are unbeaten in the last 10 matches. Everton are set to host Leicester City in one of the quarter final matches of the League Cup in one of the two clashes featuring Premier League sides.
Concerns will further grow if they fail to win that one. Motherwell's winless run goes on after late St Johnstone winner Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: St Johnstone 2-1 Motherwell Dykes keeps Livingston on courseLivingston didn't exactly blow St Mirren away on Wednesday night, but they did, ultimately, manage to pick up another important home win and that was largely down to the excellence of Lyndon Dykes.
Casillas, who led Spain to unprecedented success as they won Euro 2008 and 2012 as well as the 2010 World Cup, suffered a heart attack in May while training with current club Porto, and has not played since. He returned to training in November. Yes, I'll be running for RFEF President when elections are called," the goalkeeper wrote on Twitter.
But even while nothing’s happening, VAR is happening. The International Football Association Board — the rules makers, breakers, and tweakers — have issued a circular setting out the changes to the rules coming for the 2020/21 season, should such a thing ever happen. Nothing too complicated: some adjustments to handball, some new and exciting policies on encroachment at penalty kicks.
United will have Fred and Nemanja Matic available for the FA Cup tie against Wolves at Molineux. There had been talk about Matic leaving Old Trafford during the current transfer window but Solskjaer has ruled that out and it is understood midfield is one of the areas the club are trying to strengthen. Their problem is that while players in that position are available - former Liverpool player Emre Can is surplus to requirements at Juventus - the club do not want to get bounced into either paying too much for a player they do want or signing someone as a short-term measure, even if the consequence is continued on-field inconsistency.

Siducp-raised Henderson, who has been capped by the Republic of Ireland at youth level, started just one game for Arsenal, a 5-0 win against Leyton Orient in an FA Cup fifth-round replay in March 2011. Having been released by the Gunners at the end of the 2012-2013 season, he took in spells at numerous clubs, including Hull City, Crawley Town and Grimsby Town. Henderson was at National League South side Eastbourne Borough when the chance to move to Bulgaria materialised.

Averaging over four goals per fixture in front of their own supporters, we also envisage Barca maintaining that ratio against one of the weakest clubs in the top flight. So alongside our win to nil prediction for Barca, we're also forecasting a 5-0 scoreline.
Late start of the season in Sweden. IFK finished seventh last season, Elfsborg was in a good form at the end of the season and finished in the 8th place but had achieved a total of 5 points less than their opponents. Both teams tested negative and that is why this game is taking place, although not all games could take place. Overall, I expect a fairly balanced game and goals should also be scored on both sides. Here I think we see them play evenly matched. They are even team and it is early in the season so we think we will see 1 - 1 or 0 - 0 here today in this opening game.
A channel may be sold to broadcasters for the 2022-2025 seasons, in a step closer to a direct-to-consumer service. Such a move could dramatically increase the revenue earned by Premier League clubs. Paper Round’s view: Amazon showed that a multiplex service of Premier League games would have a broad appeal to viewers, though whether there is a sustainable appetite for such a thing is another matter.
He added: "I am giving him a chance. I am not singing 'Ole's at the wheel' but, since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, it feels like we have been pretty much the same almost every season. So we are performing at the level we have pretty much been at for the past few years now, only Ole is a bit more likeable.

In the Belarusian reserve league, Slavia will play with Gorodeya. Teams occupy the last two lines of the standings. The guests have a series of seven defeats in a row. With which opponent then still score points no matter how the neighbors on the table. The hosts, although they play better in defense, but the team’s attack is not at all happy, the last time they scored more than 1 goal per game in April. Somehow not enough for the favorite for 1.3. Given the personal meetings of the teams, Gorodeya is a pretty tough nut for Slavia, their last personal meeting last year ended with a minimal victory for today's guests. I think that in this situation the bet on the loss of the guests here is justified.
Egypt premier league match between Smouha and Wadi Degla, 12. Round. In this game Smouha is of course favorite they are better team and they have 11 points more, wadi degla is on last place and they have a lot of problems this season however I think that they have quality for more, in this game I expect at least 3 goals, u think that we will see open game here from the start and I expect a lot of chances, both teams showed weakness in defense especially wadi degla and I will try with this bet over 2.5 goals. Good luck!
This fixture features No. 12 vs No. 3 in the league, Shanghai Shenhua vs Beijing Guoan. The hosts coming from a 1 - 0 away loss to Chongqing Lifan (no. 4 in the league) and their last home game a 2 - 1 win over Dalian Yifang. The visitors coming from a 3 - 1 home win over Tianjin Teda (No. 6 in the league) and their last away game a 0 - 3 win over Tianjin Tianhai. The visitors should win this one but they played a lower table team than the hosts scoring multiple goals and conceding one goal to win the match then won their last away game to a team below the host scoring multiple goals facing a team coming from playing a team above themselves and not scoring one goal and conceding one goal to lose the match then winning their last home game so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.
What I try to do is not coach them too much. One is five, the other is eight - if I ended up spraying cones around the garden I think they would very quickly lose interest. Name that tune' While Howe’s tutoring efforts seem to be largely going to plan, his attempts to recreate Norwegian band A-ha’s greatest tracks have not exactly been a hit. He said: “The piano has been getting some good use. My boys have lessons and I’m teaching them something I haven’t really got a clue about.
Iran retaliated on Wednesday by firing missiles at military facilities housing U. S. Iraq. U. S. President Donald Trump said no Americans were hurt, soothing fears that Soleimani’s death and the Iranian response could spark a wider conflict in the Middle East. Qatar will host the World Cup in 2022 and have several European clubs, including Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, PSV Eindhoven, Salzburg and Zenit St Petersburg, using their facilities this month for winter training camps.
Because Cerro had made three substitutions, one of their central defenders was forced to don the goalkeeping gloves. The home side converted the spot-kick in the fifth minute of added time and scored an equaliser in the dying seconds to rescue a 2-2 draw. It was not the first time Aguerre had wound up Nacional, who along with Penarol are one of Uruguay’s two biggest clubs.
All over for Ancelotti Napoli are seventh in Serie A and without a win in nine matches, but even so it's striking to see a manager of Carlo Ancelotti's character being let go. In their statement Napoli said: "The relationship of friendliness, esteem and mutual respect between the club and its president Aurelio De Laurentiis and Carlo Ancelotti remains intact.
It was a first defeat of 2020 for Hibs and Jack Ross's side will be exhausted after their defensive endeavours. A far cry from the 6-1 mauling they experienced at the same ground in August. The first of Marciano's saves came on three minutes when he pushed away a fierce shot from Morelos but Rangers struggled to create any other openings in the first half hour. Hibs' Joe Newell had a glimpse of goal but could not covert from a tight angle before Hanlon struck.
Kaposvar host to Kisvarda in the last home game in first tier. The home team elimination is sure. They lost in the previous match, but the coach must to change many positions, because they played 4 games in last 14 days, so the #3 goalkeeper played in the last game vs Parks.
Norwich may have played two good games by their current level against both Arsenal and Tottenham getting themselves two 2-2 draws at home in recent games but they have also lost recently at home 2-1 against both Sheffield Utd and Wolves and also even a 2-0 loss against bottom of the league at the time Watford side, so I really do not trust them that much especially against lower rated opponents as they do seem to play above their abilities against top opponents even beating City 3-2 at home in early stages of this season.
Let's get started by recapping a few of the top stories on this subject. Manchester City have issued a statement criticising Kyle Walker following newspaper reports that the England star had a sex party during lockdown Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League Wayne Rooney 'told off by police for breaking coronavirus lockdown rules by meeting friend Kyle Walker' Reminders from the papers that Aston Villa star Jack Grealish also had to issue an apology for ignoring his own social distancing advice First to recap Rooney's quotes over the weekend to provide balance from the negative reports on footballers in the tabloids.
Their win over Spurs was arguably their most impressive of the season so far - against a team managed by their former boss Jose Mourinho, who would have had his players fired up for his first return to Old Trafford as a boss since being sacked by United. Yes, they still need some consistency, and to prove that they can turn up against lesser opposition too, because they will get nowhere if they only play well in the bigger games.

Salzburg is on fire although they have been much stronger in their away games than in their home games in this final group stage as they won just 2-0 with Rapid Vienna and struggled a bit last round with LASK at home even though they took the lead 2-0 since the 11th minute they won just 3-1 in the end and the score was only 2-1 late on with LASK attacking but on the road they have won 6-0 away at Hartberg and 5-1 away at Sturm Graz as well.
United dominated Burnley at Turf Moor but did not go ahead until Anthony Martial scored in the 44th minute after an error from full back Charlie Taylor. Sean Dyche's side put United under late pressure and David De Gea did well to keep out a low drive from Phil Bardsley before Marcus Rashford made sure of the points with a goal in stoppage time.

Messi or Maradona the greatest?Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso described Barcelona forward Messi as "the greatest" before the game - and compared him to club legend Diego Maradona. He does things that only exist on the PlayStation, unthinkable things," said the former Italy international. I know the champion [Maradona] was. Today I see Messi doing things that Maradona was doing. Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne was rather more circumspect about the comparisons with Maradona, who inspired the Italian side to the Serie A title in 1990.
Oxford United will have been disappointed to draw a non-league side in the third round. Then again, Hartlepool would have hoped for more than an away tie at Oxford. This gives them a good chance to make the fourth round where hopefully a big tie will come along. Oxford can't really complain having just hosted Manchester City in the EFL Cup as well as West Ham United, who they beat 4-0. They are having a great season and could end up being promoted. Hartlepool have struggled since being relegated and although they beat Exeter in the last round, the tip here is for an Oxford home win.
Hazard was one of Real's top performers in Tuesday's 2-2 Champions League draw at home to Paris St Germain but hobbled off after being tackled by Belgium team mate Thomas Meunier. The 28-year-old was substituted midway through the second half and Real coach Zinedine Zidane said he was worried about the injury and thought Hazard had twisted his ankle, throwing his availability for the Dec.

I don't think he will let them be as bad again at Molineux. Lawro's prediction: 0-2David's prediction: Wolves have done really well this season and Spurs haven't. But Spurs have now got Jose Mourinho in charge, and he is definitely in his honeymoon period there. Arsenal v Man City (16:30 GMT)Other than their defence, I don't think Arsenal need an awful lot of work in order to become a top-four side, which is why their vacant manager's job might appeal to Carlo Ancelotti now he has left Napoli.
City were alerted to the issue by the newspaper and then contacted police. A police spokesperson said: "Greater Manchester Police are currently investigating allegations made regarding the Computer Misuse Act. A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of offences under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. He has been released under investigation. A City spokeswoman said: "While we had terminated the services of this consultant and the company he was contracted to two years ago, we were unaware of the serious crimes he is alleged to have committed whilst working with us and the subsequent alleged attempts to profit from those crimes.

Napoli are winless in their last five Serie A matches (D4 L1): the last time a side managed by Carlo Ancelotti went 6+ games without a win in the top-5 European Leagues was back in December 2010, when he was Chelsea’s manager. However, he didn’t have the same toxic atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. This run will be even harder to get over, especially based on Napoli’s poor defensive record.
