LONDON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admitted that his old club Chelsea were superior as his side's revival came to a shuddering halt in a dispiriting 2-0 Premier League derby defeat on Sunday. The Portuguese has suffered two defeats in the six league games he has been in charge of Spurs since replacing Mauricio Pochettino -- and both have come against former clubs.
He [Bartomeu] talked about the other clubs and Guardiola and said when he was at Barcelona he was amazing. He said Guardiola was the greatest manager but told me 'if you want to enjoy your life you want to play in Barcelona'. Sometimes when I'm driving to the training ground you see the weather and there are these moments when you think 'I always wanted this as a kid, it's a dream' - I'm really happy.
The 34-year-old scored a penalty in Derby's 4-2 victory over fourth-tier Northampton Town in Tuesday's fourth-round replay to set up the meeting with United, where he spent 13 trophy-laden years and left as their record goalscorer. It will be the first time Rooney faces United since playing against them for Everton in 2018 before a year-long stint at Major League Soccer outfit DC United.
Whilst the two sides have had differing fortunes so far this season they aren’t too far apart in terms of attacking stats with Newcastle averaging a goal a game and Western Sydney averaging 1.33 goals. Their defensive stats don’t line up quite as well with Newcastle conceding an average of 1.6 goals per games whilst Western Sydney have had a much better defensive output with just 1.11 goals conceded per game. There isn’t much to put between the two sides though and this is a tough game to see either side winning all three points in.

They were 14 points clear at the top of the Isthmian North Division with 12 games to play having lost just twice in the league all season. We likewise found out from social media without any prior consultation,” the former Ipswich centre-back told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. This decision has come just 12 days after the suspension of games. I can’t see what the rush is.

Leicester are placed third with 50 points, which is double the Villa tally of 25, and being placed 19th, with the relegation threat, Villa will be seeking three points here. Leicester have already lost to Aston Villa this season; 2-1 in the League Cup back in January but they head here straight from a 1-0 win over Birmingham City in the FA Cup.

I also related to his situation personally because a couple of years earlier my son Jayden had gone into hospital and had been on a ventilator, and I'd had a peek into what his parents go through every single day. I was meant to push him out in his wheelchair but I just wanted to pick Joseph up and take him with us. He was not just our mascot, he was one of us and the courage he had shown epitomised our togetherness and belief as a team.

Vendsyssel will host HB Koge for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. I believe, Vendsyssel are more better team than their opponent.

André Villas-Boas' Marseille finished off 2019 in tremendous form with wins coming out their ears and confidence sky high. This club has had its troubles in recent years but it finally looks as if it's going in the right direction with Villas-Boas' effect on the team being extremely visible. They've won seven and drawn one of their last eight matches with wins coming against lofty opponents such as Lyon (2-1), Lille (2-1) and Bordeaux (3-1). They have also had their fair share of clashes with slightly weaker teams like Brest (2-1), Toulouse (2-0) and Nîmes (3-1) which should put them in good stead ahead of this trip to the mid-west of France.

Burton Albion will host Wycombe Wanderers for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this season. However, Wycombe are more ambitious team in this campaign.

And while no-one would suggest for one second Lampard would be under instant threat if Chelsea failed to make the top four this season, Abramovich is not the sentimental type when it comes to taking big decisions.

Reports have stated that Nubel has been given assurances over playing time in Bavaria and Neuer is loathe to give up playing time to the 23-year-old, having stood against his transfer from the start.

A new deal of such length, particularly with Neuer's reported wage demands, would prevent the club from building Nubel into his replacement.
