A majority of Maritimo’s defeats had a margin of two goals or more while a majority of Benfica’s wins have been obtained with a margin of two goals or more, which provides further reason to back a 3-0 home win on Saturday.
Is Thomas Lemar finally going to become an Arsenal player? And are Everton really after a player called Everton? BBC Sport assesses some of the biggest possible late window deals - and offers you a vote on whether each player is likely to leave or remain. SALOMON RONDON (forward, 30, Dalian Yifang)Linked with: Manchester UnitedHastened by the injury to Marcus Rashford, Manchester United's pursuit of a goalscorer has been one of the main narratives of this transfer window and it has apparently led to the unlikely figure of Rondon.
Juventus wants Van Dijk There’s a surprising rumour leading the Sun, with a story that Italian champions Juventus want to buy Liverpool central defender Virgil van Dijk. The paper reports on a £150 million bid being discussed by Juve, with a source quoted as saying: “After winning a bagful of trophies with Liverpool, Juventus think he may be ready for a new challenge at the end of the season — especially as he’s been playing in the UK for a few years.
The early season form suggests that Oldham Athletic appear to have a fight on their hands to stay in the division as they have just 16 points to their name so far. The visitors have managed just six points on the road, which is just one more than the worst away record in the league. They are without a win in their last five away games and have seen 62% of the goals they have conceded scored when on their travels.
The result allowed fifth-placed Sheffield United to close the gap on Chelsea to four points and Manchester United could move within two points if they beat Everton at Old Tarfford on Sunday. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe's charges jump up to 14th, four points above the drop zone. Dan Gosling of AFC Bournemouth scores his team's first goal which is given following a VAR check during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and AFC Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge on December 14, 2019 in London, United Kingdom.
Klopp complaints can't hide Simeone masterclass, as Reds crash out Henderson - Liverpool must finish the season strong Holders Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League after Atletico scored three goals in extra time for a shock 3-2 victory at Anfield that sent them through 4-2 on aggregate. And Klopp says the lost "doesn't feel right" and was unhappy with the manner in which Atletico secured the victory.
UEFA have tried to curtail those imbalances but as evidenced by PSG, Financial Fair Play does not represent that much of a deterrent. Obviously, it goes without saying that the money in play at the elite clubs is the biggest factor in said clubs’ ability to stockpile players. However, the ability to field seven substitutes also represents a large - yet underestimated - factor in the process.

It was also a triumph of tactics over his former mentor Jose Mourinho who, as Chelsea manager 15 years ago, turned Lampard from a promising player into the club's all-time top goal-scorer and one of England's best midfielders of his age. Lampard's Chelsea were in control from start to finish on Sunday.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of the hosts. Pacos Ferreira have improved at home in recent weeks while Setubal still are still searching for their first away victory of the campaign. The hosts head into this match as the slight form favourites and boast an excellent head to head record against their guests, while Vitoria Setubal have failed to score in three of their last six outings and have only netted once on the road all season.
The former Hull City and Watford manager has asked fans to back the team. We can achieve the result we want in a tough game against a very good team like Leicester but it is important even if [the fans] are not happy they keep the confidence, they keep supporting our players, because just in this way, all together, you can achieve good results and can give us the confidence again. We come from a good run of results before the Norwich match, this is the truth.
There are those among the players who are happy to continue, others who express their concerns. Video - Juventus seek big favour from PSG to sign Inter star – Euro Papers01:20 “There are many foreign players too and it’s obvious their families will be worried watching what’s happening in Italy. Earlier on Saturday, President of the Italian Football Federation Gabriele Gravina refused to rule out the suspension of Serie A if a player tests positive for the coronavirus.
The recent had to head will undoubtedly spur Levante on this weekend and Granotas have been in great form overall of late, winning three of their last four La Liga matches including a superb 3-1 home triumph over champions Barcelona before the international break and a 2-1 victory against Mallorca at Ciutat de Valencia on Matchday 14.
Looking at the losses that made both the host and the guest with poor form we see they have losses against big teams 6th position Sheffield Utd ! 4th Chelsea, 2nd Leicester and 1st Liverpool that is losses from the host. The guest Chelsea, Leicester, 10th Tottenham and 3rd Manchester city, Both of them are unbeaten against low ranking teams. In my opinion they are in good form, they have played against big teams, so they have similar form and possible draw.
Fortunately, City are still fighting on three other fronts, and given their relative struggles in the league, they're likely to take all three of their remaining cup competitions very seriously. As far as this competition goes, they'll be looking for more of the same after lifting the trophy in each of the last two seasons.
I think that shows how far the women's game in Asia has come. It's quite difficult to compare the last three World Cups, the one that we won and the last one. At the World Cup we played this year we had a fairly young team with inexperienced players. As a team that inexperience cost us, I think, but gaining the experience we did at this year's World Cup can make us into a better team in the coming years.
There's a little bit on his wrist but how do you go down like that? "It's a yellow card for those waving their hands at the referee. But the new Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insisted it was "very clear" what should have happened, hinting Jorginho was lucky to escape a second yellow card.

Barnsley may not have won since the opening day of the season, but they are still making waves in the second tier. They’ve seen over 2.5 goals in eight of their last nine matches, conceding twice in each of those. They have the league’s worst defence, which shipped another three goals in a 3-2 loss away to Blackburn on Saturday.
In the second Austrian league, Vorwärts Steyr and Amstetten face off. Bookmakers have already identified Steyr as a clear favorite. But I don't see Steyr as a clear favorite here. Both teams are close together in the table. Amstetten was able to win all of the last three direct duels and both teams are pretty good after the Corona break. So I can imagine that Vorwärts Steyr will not be so easy to win here.
Bielsa admitted he had sent the person to do it at the time. And then there was last season's play-off semi-final between the clubs, when Leeds blew a two-goal aggregate lead in the second leg to lose 4-3 to Frank Lampard's Rams. But despite that animosity the Derby players - led by former Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney - lined up to applaud the visitors onto the pitch. There were one or two jibes between the clubs on social media, with Leeds' director of football Victor Orta dancing with binoculars after the match, but Derby owner Mel Morris' show of respect - gifting a bottle of champagne to opposition officials - was well received.
Otherwise, competition would be distorted. Berbatov: Liverpool deserve the PL title Dimitar Berbatov says Liverpool deserve to be crowned championsGetty Images Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov said their traditional foes Liverpool deserve to be crowned Premier League champions and it would be unfair on the Anfield side if the season cannot be completed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Roma come into this one pushing for the Champions League on two fronts. They want a return to Serie A’s top four, while they must see the Europa League as an option. The winners of this competition get a spot in next season’s Champions League, so Roma may see it as a useful backup – as long as they can make it out of the group. However, their recent record might make that tricky.
The most obvious recent success story is Marcus Rashford. He marked his Manchester United debut with two goals against Midtjylland in the Europa League on 25 February 2016 and then hit another double on his Premier League debut three days later in a 3-2 win against Arsenal. Rashford finished that season with eight goals in all competitions and then scored 11 in his first full season for the club. To date, Rashford has scored 64 goals in 201 appearances for Manchester United.

Sheffield United will against AFC Bournemouth in match England Premier League. My prediction this match could be the win for Sheffield United with margin score is 2 goals. Sheffield United have good result on last 5 match due to Sheffield United have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Bournemouth have not good result on last 5 match due to Bournemouth only have won in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I'm predict that Sheffield United can defeat Bournemouth on this match due to Sheffield United have good defense and great attacking. Surely Sheffield United have more chance to win on this match.
After the break, Liverpool remained in command, and moments after Salah had seen a crossed effort come out off the post, the Egyptian brilliantly set up Mane, after the swiftest of counter attacks, to make it two in the 64th minute. From there on in, it was plain sailing for Liverpool, as they made it a remarkable 85 points taken from the last 87 available.
Birmingham City have a habit of leaving things until the 11th hour - securing their Championship survival on the final day of both the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns. But their 2013-14 escape was on a whole other level. Needing to better Doncaster's result to save themselves from the drop, Blues trailed 2-0 at Bolton with 12 minutes left, while Rovers were a goal behind at champions Leicester. A Nikola Zigic goal gave them hope and, three minutes into injury time, defender Paul Caddis headed home from three yards to send 3,500 travelling fans wild and consign Doncaster to relegation on goal difference.
ZIFA went on to plead for stakeholders including the government to provide funding to complete the work needed at the dilapidated venues. In this moment we urge all stakeholders to work for a common cause for us to quickly right this wrong which takes away our sovereignty. We have been using stadiums which do not meet CAF and FIFA standards for a while now, but we need to put our heads together as a country to ensure that our stadiums are renovated to meet required standards," it said.
Some teams press aggressively but don't have the ball much and play direct, and other teams have the ball but don't press. We try to do both, which is not easy. We're trying to play our game and the key to it is it looks simple. And if it looks simple it means that it's probably very complicated. Simple or not, Postecoglou's approach has won titles and plaudits in most places he has worked.

Going to the game, Watford are placed 19th with 13 points as Aston Villa go to the game in 18th place on 18 points. Watford have not had the best of runs this season but their last two matches have signified improvement. They have avoided defeat in the last two matches, beating Manchester United and drawing with Sheffield United.
The Cherries are 18th and in the Premier League relegation zone, level on points with the two teams above them, Watford and West Ham. We have to give ourselves the best chance to prove that we can stay in the Premier League," said the 33-year-old defender. I would hope it's more of an option than ending the season [as it is] and teams get promoted or relegated. English football will be suspended until at least 30 April but Francis does not think matches will resume by the end of next month.
The fact that they went away to Stadium of Light on Boxing day and both earned a point and kept clean a sheet show that they're no must. Quite simply, we should no longer judge Bolton by the fact that they're bottom of the league.

Costa's effort when he found himself free on the edge of the area was their most glaring missed chance, but the Bees did well to limit Leeds in a game that keeps both sides' Premier League aspirations intact. Brentford boss Thomas Frank told BBC Radio London:"It was a fair result, a very even game with very few chances, unbelievably intense, in terms of the duels, the high pressure at both ends. I should have done the substitutions 10 minutes earlier, but it's always easier to think about that afterwards.
Shahin Bushehr will host Sanat Naft for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task. Of course, they want to win. However, Shahin Bushehr is worst team in the league. Hosts have low potential in attack. They have a very vulnerable defense. True, the hosts are undefeated in their last 4 matches - 4 draws in a row. In any case, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Sanat Naft who's is very average team in this season. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. They have a chance to reach for one of the top four places in the table. My pick - Sanat Naft to win.
Dordrecht and Telstar will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Dordrecht this season have the following results: 1W, 5D and 9L.

Another uncertain score here. This year these two are producing goals but what about between them? It's not the case when we look at last year's result at D Minsk, a narrow 1 x 0 win. Dinamo is a better team than they are performing and I hope to see them coming back to their real potential any time soon. So far they scored 5 goals at home and conceded 3, as for Isloch the number are very different, scoring just one away goal and conceding 7. Anything is possible here, maybe we will see a draw here 1 x 1
In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Burnley hosts Leicester. Burnley is ranked 15th in the league with 24 points while Leicester is third with 45 points but with a game at hand. Leicester lost at home to Southampton but I like their away game better I would say. They play with a purpose when they travel and just bring it to the hosts. Vardy is unstoppable and the whole team plays their best football. Leicester has the second best attack with 27 goals scored and only Liverpool is better. Burnley is in a problem and some horrible form. They lost 7 of the last 9 games and those that they did win at home was against weaker sides. They regularly lose to the best teams.
