It’s a conscious choice because these opponents have a specific style of play. It’s entirely possible that these matches will take place in Qatar, but nothing has yet been signed. We will formalise this in a few days," he told reporters. The March matches are important. We will assess where the players are and how we will prepare them individually.
I've seen these two go at it before in a derby and it makes for great viewing. I have to say Wan-Bissaka came out on top on this occasion and I suspect Raheem Sterling won't like it. In the end Sterling went up front and Benjamin Mendy tried to use his pace and power to bully his way past the Manchester United right-back - but to no avail. This lad is one of the best timers of a tackle I have seen in years.
Much of les Monegasques’ dismay has come on the road so far though with four of their last five defeats all coming away from the Stade Louis II. While their defensive mishaps have followed them around like a cloud at their home stadium, their attacking play has been a joy to watch and crucial in their success.
It was all about hanging in there," Bakke remembers. They were bombing on from all sides. Nigel Martyn was stopping everything. Leeds prevailed through the onslaught and booked a semi-final berth. Valencia, the previous season's beaten finalists who had eliminated Arsenal in the last eight, lay in wait. We were always the underdogs so no-one expected us to get that far," Woodgate says. Getting to that stage, you think, 'Can we make history?'"A goalless first leg at Elland Road left hope alive before the two sides reconvened at the Mestalla six days later.
We think both teams to score is the best option, while we’re going for back to back 2-2 draws for Charlton. The Rs have seen exactly four goals in 55% of their home matches this season, while they’ve drawn three of five home clashes with sides below them. The Rs have scored at least twice in four of those five, so we’re backing a sixth 2-2 draw of the season for Charlton.
Team newsSweden centre-back Filip Helander misses out for Rangers after having a scan on the foot injury that forced him off in the second half of Sunday's League Cup final defeat. Influential midfielder Steven Davis is sidelined with a calf issue, while winger Jordan Jones is back in training after three months out with a knee injury but not ready for selection. French striker Guillaume Hoarau is back from injury for Young Boys, but they still have a six-strong casualty list with defenders Fabian Lustenberger and Mohamed Ali Camara, plus midfielders Vincent Sierro, Sandro Lauper, Miralem Sulejmani and Gianluca Gaudino, all expected to be absent.
Last friendly game for both teams before start 1st league again, Ceske Budejovice vs Viktoria Pilsen! This game is simply overriding game because as you can see in all last friendly games both teams are very attacking minded and I think it will still be same because they need to prove their skills to their coaches and both teams for sure will not want risk some injury so defense will be so so I think, in the end I think game can finish some crazy result like 2:3 or something like that, I am sure about goals here, good luck guys!

There is a danger of a repeat scenario playing out this week, with both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Nuno Espirito Santo expected to shuffle their packs again, though the respective managers will be keen to push for victory to avoid a potentially gruelling period of extra time.
FA Cup final appearance, Timo Werner signed - all very satisfactory. Pre-season prediction: 4thWhat I said in August: "Chelsea have an uncanny habit of achieving against the odds. Remember the 'disappointment' under Maurizio Sarri when they only finished third and won the Europa League? Never bet against Chelsea for a trophy either. Crystal Palace - 14thDreadful end to the season, which included seven straight league losses before a final draw, a real anti-climax but never any relegation worries under Roy Hodgson.
Lille play at home while Rennes play away from home. Lille have collected a total of 34 pts while Rennes have collected a total of 40 pts. Both these sides are in top 4. Lille are in 4th position while Rennes are in third position.
The points are surely in the bag for Real Madrid. Benzema picked up the ball, played the pass for Valverde who played the return ball and the French striker fires first-time into the back of the Espanyol net. SENT OFF!

Pepe came out for a ball he wasn't going to get and made Barnes' goal easy," said Smith. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football. We've probably made more individual errors than anyone his season. Villa had a glorious chance to move out of the relegation zone with none of the five teams above them winning this weekend. They had a bright start at the King Power Stadium with Conor Hourihane and Mbwana Samatta going close to getting on the end of set-pieces.
Newcastle United drew their last game away at Everton the game which ended 2-2 before the against Everton they hosted Chelsea at home a which they won 1-0. Newcastle are looking to maintain the record here 5 wins 4 draws and 3 defeats here in Saint James Park.
Arsenal has big problems right now gone 8 games without a win in the league and sacked their coach Emery who left with all his staff leaving the training camp completely depleted at this moment, and they only drew 2-2 at Norwich game which they really should have lost with Norwich dominating the game while last round it was even worse as they lost 2-1 at home to modest Brighton side.

Whilst the jump from the Turkish 1. Lig into the Super Lig is typically a tough one for promoted sides to make, hosts Denizlispor are having no such issues thus far this season.

This Tuesday, we have Eintracht Frankfurt playing host to Freiburg. At the time of writing, Frankfurt are 13th in the table and Freiburg are seventh. In their current form, Frankfurt will do well to hold on to that spot for much longer. With a game away to Bayern Munich coming before their Freiburg clash, we wouldn't be surprised to see them slip to just below the relegation zone.
There had to be a response from the champions - and there was. Just as in the first half, Jullien headed on goal and just as in the first half, Davis was there to kick it to safety. Boli Bolingoli fired on McGregor soon after but the goalkeeper pulled off another big save. Rangers saw it out from there. It got a bit sweaty for them at times as Celtic piled forward but the win was deserved. Of course there had to be sensation at the end - and there was.
He welcomed me very well to the Portugal national team", Fernandes told Cronache Di Spogliatoio. We look at him as an idol, he has always been an idol for me. I followed his example, he is one of my favourites. When I was called up by Portugal, he came to me saying, ‘You are doing a good job at Sporting, I like it’.

The tempo was slower and the precision level lower, with the result that Chelsea were able to enjoy plenty of the ball as well as troubling the far-from-secure City backline. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, whose goal brought City back on level terms after N'Golo Kante's opener before Riyad Mahrez's 37th-minute match-winner, said the game showed there was another way of winning.
We also expect Leipzig to face no trouble in front of goal in this game. Leipzig are currently the Bundesliga's top scorers. They have scored a total of 36 goals in 13 Bundesliga games this season. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last four Bundesliga games.
Paper Round's view: Ancelotti has previously worked with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Paris Saint-Germain, but that was over six years ago. Ibra has been playing in the United States for 18 months so might not be up to Premier League standard but because he's available for free, the cheap risk could be worth it.
He was manager at the time of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, when 96 Liverpool fans died as a result of a crush at an FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield. Dalglish helped ensure the club was represented at all of the fans' funerals and attended many of them in person. He and the 96 victims were awarded the Freedom of Liverpool in 2016. He also won the Premier League as Blackburn Rovers manager in 1995.

The Warm-Up needs to be honest with you all for a moment. It didn’t watch the football last night. Any of it. This is a football column and, admittedly, this could be a problem. But sometimes it’s hard to focus on sport, even one as glorious as football. When you are literally having WhatsApp conversations with ageing relatives designed to try and improve their chances of avoiding a premature death; when the Prime Minister is telling the nation that, “many more families are going to lose loved ones before their time”; when you are keeping a mental note of how many packs of pasta you have left in your cupboard because the local supermarkets have totally sold out; when Iran is alleged to be digging mass graves to house coronavirus victims; the fact that Odion Ighalo has just scored for Manchester United becomes background noise.
Clubs in League One and League Two have written to the English Football League asking for salary caps to be introduced next season. The letter was sent on behalf of 37 of the 47 teams by Mansfield Town chairman John Radford. It follows a meeting on Monday of senior club officials in the third and fourth tiers to discuss salary caps. There are big doubts the 2019-20 season will finish because of the number of players out of contract on 30 June.
I was pretty much certain that was going to happen," says Lynch. Football is crazy and all this has happened. I wish now that I'd signed the two-year deal, but I didn't. That's life really and something I have to deal with. I found out straight away and the club were quite good with me. I have a family and I want to keep playing for a few years. But now I've got to find a new club and it's tough. I think you're very lucky if you're a player under contract at the moment.

Espanyol are long-odds on to bite the dust this term, and Abelardo must arrest their dismal home form if they are to have any chance of staying up. Periquitos' first win of the season at RCDE Stadium may only be a matter of time now with a new manager likely to freshen things up around the club, but this could be a chastening experience for Abelardo, who won't have had much time to work with his squad since his appointment on December 27.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Alex's prediction: I've got lots of allegiance with Norwich - my aunt and uncle lived there and we would go up there a lot. I actually played on Carrow Road with my cousins the day before the main stand burnt down in 1984. I love Norwich. They are a proper club - if you are from there, everyone supports them, and goes. So my heart says Norwich, but my head does not give them a chance.

Denver Broncos have won three of their last four matches. Oakland Raiders have only won one of their last four away games. Two of the last three Oakland wins have come against Los Angeles Chargers who are 5-10 for the season. Oakland Raiders are a distant second behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.
Getafe have scored in 71% of their away matches and have scored 26% of their goals in the first 15 minutes, so there is a decent chance that the visitors will get off to a good start in Russia. However, Getafe’s poor record of clean sheets on the road this season suggests that they are going to need to score at least twice to win on Thursday. 67% of Trabzonspor’s matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored and that matches our prediction for Thursday’s clash.
