England skipper Kane is out until April with a hamstring issue while Rashford faces at least six weeks out with a back injury. Calvert-Lewin, 22, has four goals in six games since Ancelotti arrived.

Only 38% of Groningen’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in just 38% of the host’s home games, providing another reason to back under 2.5 goals to be scored this weekend. Groningen have only conceded 7 goals at home and Emmen have only scored 4 goals on the road, which is why we can see the hosts shutting out their opponents on Sunday and the game ending goalless. Groningen have kept clean sheets in 50% of their home games and Emmen have failed to score in 50% of their away games, another reason we have backed under 2.5 goals to be scored and why we have settled for a final scoreline of 0-0.

Raheem Sterling? Yaya Toure? David Silva? The choices don't get any easier, do they?Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are the only multiple Premier League winners - and over the past few days we have asked you to pick your ultimate title-winning team for each club. It is City's turn on Thursday, and this is no simple task with the club having lifted the trophy four times, winning their first in 2012.
When playing in front of an expectant home crowd, Celtic have been particularly rampant, winning seven out of seven, scoring 27 and conceding just two. Lennon's men are yet to play a game at home without scoring at least twice, while they've now kept four clean sheets on the bounce at Celtic Park. Going forward, alongside Rangers, The Hoops are simply streets ahead of all other teams in terms of attacking quality, but they're also vastly superior at the back too. Celtic have conceded an average of just 0.29 goals at home, they've given away very few clear-cut chances and have surrendered an average of only 1.29 shots on target.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Hertha Berlin predictions for this Friday's German Bundesliga clash. Eintracht will hope to put a disappointing run of three straight Bundesliga losses behind them as they host struggling Hertha. Read on for all of our free German Bundesliga betting tips and predictions.
The 27-year-old has 18 months left on his contract, as a well a one-year extension option, and there have been informal discussions over a new deal. But Lingard remains open to the possibility of leaving United with Atletico and Roma having already registered their interest with his representatives, which now includes super agent Mino Raiola in a consultancy role.
Well Ceske Budejovice still have a chance to get into that championship group. Ostrava have only 3 points more than them and Ostrava today is playing against Slavia Praga which is going to be very though so this is a perfect chance for Ceske Budejovice. Teplice on the other hand are done and will play at the Europa League group. But also they are having huge troubles with the squad they are going to be without: A.Hycka, J Knapik, P Kodes, A Ljevakovic, P Mares, T Vondrasek, P Vyhnal and J Shejbal which only adds to their problems that they already have for sure.
The lively Moussa Djenepo poked in a cross from the left flank with the outside of his right foot and Long bundled it in at near post with his thigh past Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Reina denied Southampton a bigger lead as he kept out efforts by Danny Ings and Djenepo in the first half before he parried a ferocious Pierre Hojbjerg volley on the hour mark.
David Martin stepped into the breach for the Hammers and performed brilliantly. His double save in the first half was crucial but it was his decision making and bravery in the second half that impressed me most. Football can be a cruel and ruthless sport and Martin would do well to not blow this opportunity by listening to the hype. Did you know? Aged 33 years and 312 days, Martin was the second oldest goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet on his Premier League debut, behind only Bernard Lama (34y 329d), who also did so for West Ham in March 1998.
Ostersunds FK started the league with a 2-0 defeat at Hammarby but it was a tough start with Hammarby finishing 4th in the league last season. In the cup Ostersunds FK won 2 of the 3 games scoring 9 goals in total.
Giroud is obviously not as mobile or pacy - he really relies on balls into the box - but the Frenchman is still very effective if you use him in the right way. He was Chelsea's man of the match in their win over Spurs last week, when he led the line so well and took his goal nicely. So, I don't think it's a disaster from Chelsea's point of view if they have to rely on him up front - in any case, they have bigger issues than that.
Former Derby County, Oxford United and Portsmouth boss Jim Smith has died at the age of 79. Smith, known throughout football as the 'Bald Eagle', managed nine different clubs across the leagues. Among his career highlights were a League Cup final appearance with Queens Park Rangers in 1986 and promotion to the Premier League with Derby in 1996. Jim had fought illness with his usual bravery for some time," said Oxford in a statement.
As far as playing on the road goes, Sunderland have disappointed this season. They've won only two of their eight travelling games, while they've scored an underwhelming seven goals and conceded 11 in the process. Under the new regime, they've lost two out of two away in League 1, scoring zero goals in the process.
That's happened to me. This is something I'm trying to change and it's something I'm not trying to just sit on the internet and post about, not really seeing anything happen. We have to talk to the right people to get this change and it's something I'm working on in the background. Players' names will be replaced on the back of their shirts with 'Black Lives Matter' for the first 12 matches of the restarted season.

Coventry have been good in many areas this term; they're tough to beat, have a great habit of keeping themselves in games, while they've delivered the goods when it has mattered most on several occasions. However, nothing has impressed more than the way in which the Sky Blues have taken to life at their adopted home. Robins' men have won seven, drawn two and lost one at St. Andrew's, scoring 14 and conceding seven in the process. Only league leaders Wycombe have claimed more home points than Coventry this term.
Cologne played better and more successfully at home before the corona break. After the break they are without win in 3 matches and playing not good at all. Sitting on 12th place, the team is 7 points in front of the relegation site.

I've had some great people looking out for me," she said. The Reign have been unbelievably supportive. They sent me away to Australia, I worked with a specialist, did everything I needed them to do and now - touch wood - I am feeling really good. I obviously spoke to my family at my lowest points and they were like: 'Do you really want to have this be the way that it ends? Do you not just want to end it on your own terms?' And I thought: 'Yes, you're right, I do.
Villa will have gained some confidence from that win over Palace but a couple more will be needed if they are to stay up. After this match, they host Arsenal and then travel to West Ham. Their dream is to be able to go West Ham on the final day of the season with the chance to win and stay in the Premier League.
Avranches against Villefranche here, meeting of the French National football team which is played tomorrow night at 8:00 pm Avranches favored for the victory of the match comes from a 1-0 away defeat by Pau while the hosts are back from a home draw with white nets against Concarneau. The guests come from several games without defeat but here they will play away and in any case there is no technical gap with the opponents so we try a nice Draw at the excellent odd of 2.90 and I expect a very dull game here where goals will be hard to come by.
But he was also a defender of the highest calibre and was perfectly at home in the top flight, as well as the more nuanced surroundings in Europe. Hunter is led from the pitch after being sent off in a controversial European Cup Winners' Cup final defeat by AC MilanRevie's Leeds should have actually won more trophies than they did but were dogged by misfortune. One such occasion saw Hunter sent off when his frustration boiled over in the closing seconds of the 1-0 defeat by AC Milan in the 1973 Cup Winners' Cup final.
Man City qualify unbeaten from the group, seven points ahead of second-placed Atalanta and could play any one of Napoli, Borussia Dortmund, Lyon, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16. TALKING POINT Another night of significance for Foden: Pep Guardiola stressed in his pre-match conference that Foden believed the 19-year-old could be a successor for David Silva, who is leaving the club at the end of the season.

Fortunately, Lille have been exceptional on their own patch this season. Winners of eight matches at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Wednesday's hosts are, in terms of points, Ligue 1's best home team. Not only have they won eight out of ten, but they're also yet to taste defeat at home, scoring 18 and conceding just five in the process.
We can say that there are quite equal teams in terms of class and level of performing skill. This is confirmed by the final standings of last season. Then the “Wave” finished in 12th position, only one line ahead of the “Slonim”. It is worth noting that both teams scored the same number of points.

But while Smith received the reaction from his players he had hoped for, there was more head scratching from Sean Dyche as Burnley produced another poor defensive display in the first half. Twice, Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood gave the ball away in his own half, leading to chances for Douglas Luiz and Wesley. And James Tarkowski was out-muscled far too easily as Wesley was allowed to turn and shoot in the box in the first half, before a poor clearance from the same centre-back led to Grealish's disallowed goal.
Wolves did well after the restart but their form then suffered from some poor performances. However they seem to have recovered and there is more good news. Neves not only looks like he's got his form back but was also a cut above the rest. This lad should really be playing Champions League football. In the meantime what's happened to Everton? They were looking great when Carlo Ancelotti took over and now they look like a fabulous new car, ditched on the pavement after its engine has just blown up, with an owner not knowing what to do.
At half-time, I was more disappointed that we had not tried to play enough and not got the ball down enough. The defenders were slashing at clearances and did not show enough composure but it was always going to be this type of game. Great credit to the players - they stuck at it and showed great resilience. I thought Steve [Evans'] team did very well and they will think they were a bit unlucky but I thought we could score again on the break.
