MAN OF THE MATCH Dwight McNeil (Burnley): Dictated the tempo in midfield, creating five chances for his team mates in another impressive, energetic display. PLAYER RATINGS Burnley: Pope 7, Lowton 7, Tarkowski 8, Mee 7, Taylor 7, Hendrick 6, Westwood 7, Cork 6, McNeil 8, Wood 6, Rodriguez 6.

Forwards - Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Anthony Martial (Man Utd) Calvert-Lewin: The Everton forward couldn't hit a barn door six months ago and now he can't stop scoring. To be fair to Calvert-Lewin it took fired-up caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson to really inspire this kid. Since Ferguson occupied the hot seat the young striker has not looked back. Five goals in five league games tell its own story.
Hearts come into this game as they enter their fifth week without a managerial appointment, with Austin MacPhee taking the reins once again. However, things aren't looking good for the Jambos and they've lost three of their last five matches.
If I knew that in three weeks' time I was going to go into a big period of games, I could probably adjust my training to build up to it. I would get stronger and add in certain elements of fitness compartments to get ready for it. Ultimately, it is your job. You have to do what you have to do. You don't see the NHS workers saying they don't want to go in. You can't say you don't fancy kicking a ball around today.
Stoke have lost just once in their last nine league games versus Blackburn, winning on seven occasions in this run (W7 D1 L1). That form is backed up by Stoke’s two wins in three at home, along with two wins in three under their new boss. We expect the Potters to add to that with three points this weekend, so we’re going with a home win.
Following their captain’s lead, Diogo Dalot and Jesse Lingard then decided to score peaches of their own, both wonderful, if very different, strikes. More goals followed thanks to Phil Jones, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood. It was exactly the sort of performance you would normally expect of Manchester United.

This group of players helped this club be where it is. After this kind of thing we name a street, a pitch. What he has done is incredible, fantastic, not just for the game today, for the last 10 years. What we want is for the people to come back to the Etihad for a game for him as one of the legends of the club. Though their hold on the Premier League trophy has gone to Liverpool, City have won the Carabao Cup this season and remain in both the Champions League and FA Cup.
Both teams got on the scoresheet in 12 of those 17 games, and in 10 of Wolves' most recent 12 contests – and it's in that both teams to score market that we feel the best value lies for Thursday's game.
Vardy, who retired from England duty following the World Cup in 2018, is the Premier League's top scorer this season with 19 goals, following his brace in Monday night's 4-0 win over Aston Villa. With Tottenham Hotspur's Kane recovering from a hamstring operation he had in January and Manchester United's Rashford out with a back issue, Vardy has emerged as an option for the Euros in June and July.
However, at the end of the day it was not his call, he said. It will be the politicians who decide," added Rezza. It's a difficult decision to take because of the health implications. Serie A has been on hold since March 9, with players at several clubs testing positive for COVID-19, which has killed more than 113,000 people globally.
Wales international Gareth Bale, left out of the Real Madrid squad again for this weekend, was also rumoured to be a possible Spurs target but stays with the Spanish club. Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, who had been linked with Chelsea and David Beckham's new Major League Soccer club Inter Miami also ended the day staying put at Paris St Germain.
Senderos, who also made two appearances on loan at Everton, played in Major League Soccer for Houston Dynamo from 2017-18 and he ended his career in his native Switzerland with FC Chiasso in the second tier.

I look forward to the next chapter.

Top of the table by one point, Benfica know that a slip-up will be pounced upon by Porto, who kick off earlier that night.

Nottingham Forest will host Leeds United for this fixture of the league. I think, I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I expect, this will be a very tense match. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. Yeah, the visitors have big fluctuations. Nevertheless, Leeds have the potential to pick up the victory. In any case, they probably want to stay among the top 2 teams at the top of the table. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result. No doubt, Nottingham will try to provide a strong resistance. I think, Leeds will closer to victory.
Before embarking on her musical career, Georgia - full name Georgia Barnes - played as a left-winger for QPR and Arsenal's youth teams, although she is a Manchester United fan. She told BBC Sport: "I grew up in central London and in the flats where I lived, we had a massive courtyard where kids would play football. I guess from an early age I expressed an interest in hanging about with other people and kicking a ball around.
This club is in such a good place, I couldn't contemplate leaving," Klopp, 52, told Liverpool's website. For me personally this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve. When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow.

Liverpool, who have a game in hand on City, could go into that match on 91 points with the champions 19 points adrift on 72. With just 18 points to play for after that game, Liverpool would only need to avoid defeat to wrench the title away from City in their own backyard. When is the earliest Liverpool can win the league?Liverpool could, in theory, win the title away at Watford on 29 February, their 28th Premier League game of the season.
I am confused with VAR because of that. It is possible to talk about top four when you start the season on zero points. But it is hard to talk about it when you start at minus 12 [points behind the top four when he became Tottenham manager]. Video - Klopp: Why Firmino said sorry after scoring winner00:35 Mourninho could not resist a dig at Liverpool though, when talking to Sky Sports, suggesting they were a fortunate team.
We have to try to save them all too. But if things continue like this, then all football clubs are going to have the same sort of problems. I know people are sick of how money is everything in the Premier League but you don't want to lose any of the clubs who play in it, which is why they are trying to find a solution so they can all survive.

We thought about Ibrahimovic when Ancelotti was in charge, as he would have taken a certain role. Now before thinking about him, I have other priorities, as this is a team that must play in a different system. Arsenal execs pictures leaving Arteta mansion Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham and chief negotiator Huss Fahmy were pictured leaving Mikel Arteta's Manchester mansion in the early hours of Monday morning as speculation intensifies that the Spaniard could be Unai Emery's permanent replacement at the Emirates.
Tottenham looked in trouble at two goals down in the first half, but ran out 4-2 winners over Olympiacos to seal their place in last 16. See alsoMathcast: Tottenham Hotspur v Olympiacos After Jose Mourinho saw his side look superb in the first half against West Ham, they started awfully and were lucky as half time approached to be just two down through a fantastic 25-yard strike from Youseff El Arabi and a close-range strike from Ruben Semedo following terrible defending from a corner.
Defending champions City are second, 25 points behind leaders Liverpool. Arsenal are ninth, five points behind fifth-placed Manchester United but with a game in handCity's potential European ban is hanging over them a little bit - the decision on their appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport is due in July. But even if their suspension is upheld, I cannot see Arsenal making fifth spot and qualifying for the Champions League that way.
To be there after the first half of the season with 13 points out of 20 games, let's be honest it will be a miracle to stay in the league for next season. But one thing is for sure, don't underestimate the attitude and the spirit of my lads. Norwich have recorded their worst start to a top-flight campaign, with three wins in total and no wins in their previous seven games. Each and every game we have to prepare to win some points," Farke added.

Paper Round's view: United were said to be interested in signing Edouard's former teammate Dembele since Lukaku left, but a deal with Lyon's stubborn president Jean-Michel Aulas could prove to be difficult and very expensive. Edouard would be a cheaper alternative and he certainly looks like an exceptional player.
True, Leicester did threaten on a couple of other occasions, and went very close to an equaliser with the score at 2-1 when Barnes could not convert a Vardy cross. But that was a risk Guardiola was willing to take with his focus on attack. Their hopes of defending their title are out of their hands now but, when his side play like this, few teams can live with them. If the departure of Guardiola's assistant Mikel Arteta to become Arsenal's new manager disrupted Manchester City's week, then they did not show it here.

Hello everyone. For today my choice for second prediction is this game from Spain Segunda Division. I think here Elche is the most popular and most better from Huesca, but the rang list set different. Huesca are on the third place and they will try to take promotion for Primera, but this is not easy job. Elche stay on the eight position and they must to take here three points. Elche have got just one draw last ten games that's why I think is time for next draw result. For me this game is very hard for prediction but I will take the risk with draw.

I was playing for Partick Thistle in front of 3,000 people every week, going to a World Cup was something out of this world for me. We left Hampden where thousands of fans cheered us off and travelled to Prestwick airport. Supporters were lined up all the way on the road on the flyovers with flags. When we got to the airport there were thousands there too. I didn't even get a chance to say cheerio to my wife.
In this clash I expect the hosts to win by more than one goal. Jalapa plays well in the last weeks and they won the last four of five games at home in the league. I don't think that they will struggle tonight and score no more than one goal against Chinandega. They scored usually 2 goals and keep the clean sheet in their games. The visitors lost 0:7 in last away match against Ferretti and 1:5 against Esteli. I don't believe that they will show something better tonight and avoid defeat in this match. I pick Asian handicap -1 for Jalapa. Good luck
Odds are a bit low on the over 2.5 goals especially given the fact that this is a game from France but that is because Toulouse has 7 losses in a row at this moment conceding at least 2 goals each time conceding even 4 goals sometimes like this week in the League Cup when they played away at Lyon and they lost the game with 4-1 in the end but attack does score goals and Nice is not perfect in defense.
PSG have scored 21 goals in their last five away games but have kept clean sheets in just two of their last eight on the road, even conceding to Le Mans in the previous round of the Coupe de la Ligue, a team 16 places below Lorient in Ligue 2.
