Injuries to Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son meant they played without a recognised striker, but it was again their defensive vulnerability which will concern Mourinho most. He has a tough task of lifting his team ahead of their FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Norwich on Wednesday night. MAN OF THE MATCH Diogo Jota (Wolves): The 23-year-old was at the heart of every Wolves attack.
It appears to contravene government guidelines over the coronavirus. Paper Round’s view: If the players and coach have been self-isolating, and if the individuals kept themselves far apart from another, then there is little to be worried about in terms of risk. However, given there is no indication that football will restart any time soon, then it seems like a needlessly provocative move from the players and Mourinho.
LONDON, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho's return visits to Stamford Bridge have not always been the most cordial but Saturday's clash between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur promises to be especially charged. Since taking over at Tottenham in the wake of Mauricio Pochettino's sacking in November, Mourinho has engineered a revival at the club even if his side's limitations were cruelly exposed in defeat by RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Odsonne Edouard earned Neil Lennon's team a deserved lead in the first leg before the hosts launched a second-half surge. Dame N'Doye levelled before Forster acrobatically denied Jens Stage from the spot after a VAR penalty check. The return is in Glasgow next Thursday. Edouard's 24th strike of the season was the first away goal Celtic have scored in the knockout stage of a European competition since Henrik Larsson's winner against Boavista in 2003.
And in July they brought Giovanni Reyna, son of former Manchester City and USA midfielder Claudio, over from the United States. He made his senior debut in January despite only celebrating his 17th birthday in November. We developed them to become superstars'Dortmund's philosophy emerged from the financial crisis that brought the club to its knees in 2004, seven years after Ricken scored on the greatest night in the club's history, as they won the European Cup for the first - and so far, only - time.
However, gambling related-harm has made the lives of two million people miserable. It leads to hundreds of people each year taking their own lives, leaving families and friends devastated.

Aston Villa defender Easah Suliman is set to sign for Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes after a medical on Tuesday. The 21-year-old was part of the England side that won the European Under-19 Championship in 2017. He was the first player of Asian heritage to captain an England football side, having done so at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 levels. Suliman is set to sign a four-and-a-half-year contract with Vitoria, who are sixth in the Primeira Liga.
If he goes on loan it's a situation he wants and we wish him all the best," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said. It's a tough window to work but it's about rebalancing the squad. The deal will enable Leicester's Croatian centre-back Filip Benkovic to take up a loan move, possibly to Bristol City. Bennett has made 74 appearances for Wolves in all competitions since joining the side in 2017. He previously played for Norwich City and Peterborough.
Blackpool are enjoying a solid campaign, there can be no getting away from that. The Seasiders have lost just four of their 21 matches and currently find themselves sitting outside the play-off places on goal difference alone. That said, they were beaten at this venue last time out, so confidence may have decreased.
I see here very easy win for Steaua and that is pretty clear and real to expect. So, FCSB is interesting team who is again fighting for the title, but similar, like it was the case and in last season, they will have huge problems to win first place - problem is Cluj, leader in league who is in this moment have seven points more than them. Today, they will play against Academica Clinceni and that is one of the weaker teams in the league. Steaua will not have any problems to beat this rival and it will be 2-0 or 3-0.
Ross Barkley came off the bench to send Chelsea to Wembley as manager Frank Lampard's half-time changes transformed this FA Cup quarter-final at Leicester City. The Foxes held sway in the first 45 minutes at the King Power Stadium, although it took a flying save from Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel to keep out Christian Pulisic's powerful drive. Lampard's discontent could be heard echoing around the virtually deserted arena - and he acted by introducing Barkley, Mateo Kovacic and Cesar Azpilicueta at the interval for Reece James, the subdued Billy Gilmour and Mason Mount.
Given that we are where we are because we've been too easy to score against, a defender would be the obvious target, but it's not as much about who is defending but how we defend as unit. So, while a new dominant, ball-playing centre-back wouldn't go amiss, a defensive-minded midfielder to take over from Alex Tettey when those knees can manage no more would be good. I'd like to see us get Virgil van Dijk in to help out at the back and Sergio Aguero in to put some pressure on Teemu Pukki.
Rapid Vienna and Austria Vienna will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Rapid Vienna this season have the following results: 8W, 4D and 4L.

I am just going to play where the best players play," Koepka, who is competing at this week's Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, said in a report on the Golf Channel website.

Once again he hesitates and this time it's Cresswell who makes a last-ditch block to deny City an opener. No penalty! Aguero feels he is pushing held back by Ogbonna as he tries to get a shot away, but his appeals for a penalty go unheard as he is adjudged to be standing in an offside position. That's a dubious call! 30' - GOAL! Man City 1-0 West Ham (Rodri): The inevitable has happened, City lead.

The surprise was Portuguese clubs did not look at him seriously until Jorge Jesus, the current Flamengo boss decided to sign him," said Portuguese football writer Jose Delgado. In the media we were asking why Benfica, Sporting or Porto were not going for Fernandes because you could see he was a fantastic player. He was a sure bet and it has proved a great success. The numbers back that up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Fernandes has topped the Portuguese Primeira Liga rankings for the most goal involvements (67), most goals outside the penalty area (9), most chances created (239), most shots (271) and most shots on target (114).
Our main area of concern is the lack of cover in central defence with Wes Morgan only just returning from injury and, at 36, his age counting against him. Manager Brendan Rodgers also feels that Filip Benkovic is not yet ready for the step up and it appears that Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard is now top of the manager's wish list. Luke Shaw, a peripheral player at Manchester United, has been linked with us.
However, the Sun state that Juventus president Andrea Agnelli is "desperate" to bring Guardiola in as a replacement for the ex-Chelsea and Napoli head coach who is failing to live up to his high standards. Guardiola is still under contract at the Premier League club until 2021 and he previously admitted he was "open" to signing an extension earlier this season, while City chiefs remain confident he will continue into his fifth year in charge next term.
However, he then lost the second set by the same score, before taking the third and decisive set 6-2. He's had success on this surface in the past winning in Rio two years ago and reaching the last four of the Rome Masters, losing but taking a set off Novak Djokovic which is always something to boast about.
How do you solve a problem like the National League? The coronavirus pandemic has meant the top level of non-league football, as well as its feeder leagues covering the north and south of England, have been called off. But how do you decide who finishes where, who gets a coveted place in the English Football League and who drops down a division? The National League board met on Friday to discuss the next steps, but with clubs being consulted a final decision is unlikely to be quick.

I don't watch their games in their entirety, usually only highlights, but what I do see of Man City I do always like a lot," he said. Soon after he took the head coach position at Barcelona in 2008, Guardiola dropped Ronaldinho from the squad, ending what is widely considered the peak period of the Brazilian's career, which included guiding Barca to a Champions' League title.
How coronavirus has impacted sporting events around the worldThe latest news on the coronavirus crisisPremier League clubs are due to meet on 3 April and it is expected the postponement will be extended again.

Leclerc completes esports quadrupleCan you name the Scotland players with 50 caps?Scotland boss Clarke takes 10% pay cutIt's unfamiliar territory for Scots, who have gone 22 long and painful years since their last appearance at the real thing, the World Cup. And with the Euro 2020 play-off against Israel unlikely to take place any time soon, this could be as good as it gets. Each competing country consists of a Fifa player and one national team player, celebrity or 'influencer'.
They have ways to control it from an agronomy standpoint," said Immelman. But playing in November, which I have done a number of times, the scoring won't quite be as low as it has been the last few years. Eredivisie aiming for June return Dutch football is aiming to return on June 19 behind closed doors following a meeting of clubs, the Football Association (KNVB) and other stakeholders, according to reports.
50% of Stevenage’s home games have produced over 1.5 goals as have 100% of Crawley’s away games, and the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 12% of their home games while their guests on Saturday are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. Both teams scored in 50% of Stevenage’s home games and 100% of Crawley’s away games, and we’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as well.

A fine performance from Brighton saw them win at Arsenal for the first time in their history, moving from 15th to 13th in the table. Arsenal, who stay 10th, are now nine games without a win - their longest such run since the late 70s. See alsoArsenal v Brighton - LIVE Premier League updates Brighton were by far the better side in the first half, gradually taking control as Arsenal's initial flurry - more of a flurrylet really - wore off.
Both sides have failed to reach the play-offs so it's time to start thinking of next season. The Colts at least have a better record than their opponents but will be thinking of times earlier in the season when they did have a chance of getting a wild card place. They had a good win last week, while the Jaguars are in poor form and look set to equal last season's 5-11 record. Go for the Colts to win this match.
My main reason for taking the over bet here is the guests as they are bottom in the league with by far one of the weakest defensive records in the league with no less than 38 goals conceded by them in 18 games but really not that bad at scoring with 19 goals but they often get out-scored and end up losing all the points, their goal average in their 8 league away games is of 3.6 goals scored as they played 6 out of 8 away games with over 2.5 goals in the end.
Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla against Hapoel Petah Tikva here, meeting of the Israel Leumit League football which is played this afternoon at 2:00 pm. Slightly favored guests for the victory of the match come from a 1-0 home win on Hapoel Ramat Gan while the hosts are coming from an external success for 1-2 on Maccabi Ahi Nazareth. I expect a very balanced race here but the Beitar Ramla has a certain tendency to suffer nets easily so let's try a nice 2 Ah+0.5 mark at 1.45. But as this is a tip. I will go for a draw as the visitors have drawn 4 of their last 5 away matches.
Sonnenhof Grossaspach are done as far as I'm concerned. Last season they somehow survived thanks to Cottbus at the last round but this season they are relegated. They need a miracle to avoid that which I don't see happening because they are just so so bad and to expect to won every match remaining and to hope that the other rivals will lose is just not realistic for sure for a team that is at the rock bottom. Zwickau on the other hand with a won here will get out of that dangerous zone. They are a solid team that lately is showing great performances.

How have Scottish clubs fared against Romania opponents?"We know Cluj will be highly motivated and, for us, we just want to continue this run of the 12 games in a row," he said. I think it was a tough game over there in the Champions League qualifiers. Celtic's 1-0 win over their Glasgow rivals at Hampden Park secured a 10th successive domestic trophy, with Lennon matching Billy McNeill's record of being the only man in Scottish football history to win all three domestic trophies as both a player and manager at the same club.
I think they need two signings in this window to have any kind of success this season. United are where they are at this moment in time and people have got to accept it. We'll be back - but not in the short-term' - social media reactionTerry Urbanczyk: It's either Ole or Woodward. I know how that will end as the share price is the most important thing and not the football. Football is poor, Old Trafford left to get run down.
The Unicorns are a solid attacking team and have scored a respectable three goals in their last three matches but their away form could really damage them here as they have won just one away game since last December. They've conceded on average two goals in every away game and that could be about to worsen as they travel to the principality.
