Nelson put a near full-strength home side ahead in the 55th minute, scrappily side-footing the ball home after the Leeds defence was caught out by a cross from Alexandre Lacazette. Leeds had taken the game to Arsenal straight from the whistle, pushing forward and blasting 11 shots on goal to the home side's one in the first 25 minutes alone.
Niguez is young enough to keep improving but has the experience and talent to start delivering for the team right away. Any move would also allow Pogba to move onto somewhere he might start to perform more consistently. Read the full story Ljungberg unlikely to get the job Arsenal caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg is unlikely to be given the job full time, according to a report in the Sun.
Until now I was maybe too nice to him. Solskjaer should just remember things that he said in the summer to Paul. I think Solskjaer may be frustrated for different reasons and is now mixing up some issues. I think that Solskjaer has other things to worry about. Pogba has only made eight appearances for United this season and just two since September.

It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens. It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.
There is not really much separating these two sides at this moment although Hannover is 3rd from bottom in the relegation zone at this moment because they have not been able to win any of their 6 league games at home so far this season with just 4 draws and 2 losses to their name so far reason why they sit so low in the league standings and not that Darmstadt is much better on the road but last time they played here they actually won the game with 2-1 in the end so I see them getting something out of this fixture.
Barcelona had to resort to a two-day bus trip to their semi-final with Inter Milan. Even veterans of the Aberdeen-London Megabus route would struggle with the 650-mile drive across southern Europe, and most would agree it is not ideal preparation to play a game of football. Inter won their home leg 3-1, enough to see them through to the final where they beat Bayern Munich. What if Barcelona had been able to prepare for the tie normally? They had won and drawn against Inter in the group stages earlier in the competition and showed little sign of dropping their standards.
I couldn't work out why Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki both started on the bench on the weekend, when Norwich lost at home to Brighton. Media playback is not supported on this device Norwich 'deserved more' after 1-0 defeat by Brighton Mind you, Pukki has only scored twice since mid-December and has not found the net at all in his past 11 appearances. The Canaries don't have a goal threat and that's one of the reasons I am going with Watford here.
Ultimately, with the quality they have and the consistency they've been showing, PSG should be able to win Wednesday's fixture with no problems at all. Man for man they are by far a stronger team than Galatasaray and having already defeated them in Turkey, they should be able to again here.
Tottenham visit Southampton on Jan. Premier League game in 11 days. It's a crime that they are playing again on the 28th, it's against every rule of physiology and biology," Mourinho told a news conference after his side overcame Brighton thanks to second-half strikes from Harry Kane and Dele Alli. It's against every rule, but that's how it is and now we have three players suspended, it's completely unfair.
The Football Association still hopes to finish this season's FA Youth Cup even though the Premier League U18 league was called off earlier this month. The competition had reached the semi-final stage when the season was brought to a halt by the coronavirus pandemic. Chelsea are due to play Manchester United with Blackburn drawn to face Manchester City in the last four. The entire Academy Games programme, from under-9s to under-23s, was brought to an end for the season on 1 May.
It remains to be seen if Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes will work in tandem on Saturday, though either one of the burly centre-forwards will make life very uncomfortable for a less than convincing looking Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez defensive partnership.
Former Chelsea and Tottenham manager André Villas-Boas is really getting the best out of his current team Marseille as they now sit 2nd in Ligue 1, five points behind PSG who have a game in hand. His side have been putting together some incredible performances with les Olympiens now on a run of six consecutive wins. They've scored 13 goals and conceded just four in this spectacular streak of results.
The 26-year-old England international is a little unsettled, but the club believe they can keep him for now. They value him at £200 million, and believe the post-coronavirus transfer window will be a quiet one. Paper Round’s view: Any club would struggle to find £200 million at the best of times, and unless one is able to find financial assistance over the next month or two, it does indeed seem unlikely that they will find a club that can put in a sufficient bid.
I don't know if he will need an operation, it's not my area. I can see he's not happy. It's important he stays positive but of course it's difficult. It's a bad moment, it won't be easy and he will feel like this for a while. Real, who play at home in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie against Manchester City on Wednesday, are second in La Liga, two points behind leaders Barcelona.

I see it likely that both teams should be scoring here in this one although the hosts failed to do so last time at home losing 3-0 with Barrow they did just fine a few months ago when visiting Borehamwood and getting all 3 points from that game by scoring 2 goals and winning with 2-1 in the end, this while at this moment their defense is for sure not that solid.
Watford's hierarchy will argue, and they can back it up, that their expertise is in providing the conditions behind the scenes for a manager (or head coach) to do his best work on the training ground. And they will point to their recent continued presence in the Premier League without very serious relegation concerns as proof it has worked. There is no suggestion the way the club works will change any time soon.
Did you know? The Swedish defender made a team-high four blocks in Manchester United's win at the Etihad. Midfielders - George Baldock (Sheffield United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester City), Son Heung-min (Tottenham) George Baldock: I wasn't sure if it was George Baldock or George Best! I thought I was seeing things when I saw Baldock drag the ball back, pirouette and strike a glorious shot past Tim Krul.

Rangers and Celtic are doing well in Europe, which is brilliant to see. I think we have a good level in the league at the minute. I understand Steven's comments but I don't particularly agree with them. Rangers and Celtic have a real obligation to make the Scottish league as strong as possible, as we all have. We have to live within our means to do that. Scottish football doesn't need saved but we all have an obligation to make it even better.

Nice are also interested, but Frank Lampard would like him to stay despite Cesar Azpilicueta and Reece James being above him in the pecking order. Paper Round’s view: The problem with a few clubs in the Premier League stacking their squad full of talent is that for those not in the first team, it can seem difficult to work out how they will ever get a run of games in the top fight.
The hosts’ home games have produced an average of 2.00 total goals so far this season while Braga’s away games average 1.71 total goals, which adds further weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw on Sunday. Only 43% of Pacos Ferreira’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals while just 14% of Braga’s away games have seen three or more goals scored, all of which bodes well for our final score prediction for Sun day’s clash.

Dinamo Brest Res. will host Shakhtyor Res. for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors are favorites in this game. Of course, Shakhtyor 2 is really better team than their opponent. Shakhtyor 2 are more offensive team. They have an effective attack. In any case, I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Perhaps, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. Of course, they have a very difficult task. I expect, the hosts will pay attention on their defense. Maybe this is - draw... In any event, the visitors have a big advantage.
Leipzig were not willing to go into talks with Liverpool about an alternative transfer arrangement. It won't get any cheaper," RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff said recently. We will not sell a player below value if he is under contract for more than a year.

Solskjaer is intimate with the club's development structure having previously managed the reserve team, winning two league titles and two cups in that role between 2008 and 2011, before going on to win two Norwegian league titles with Molde. Nicky Butt now reports directly to the manager in his role as head of first team development, charged with bringing players through, while Nick Cox took over as head of the academy.
LONDON, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Manuel Pellegrini's 18-month reign as West Ham United manager ended abruptly on Saturday as the Chilean was sacked shortly after his side's 2-1 home defeat by Leicester City in the Premier League.

GOAL! Man United 1-1 Tottenham (Alli). United look to have survived a scare as De Gea saves with his legs from Aurier, yet as the ball comes back to earth, Alli beats two defenders with a sensational first touch which takes the ball over his head and he then pokes home! Brilliant. PENALTY! Rashford runs past Aurier and then Sissoko, who kicks outs and brings down the United man.
Club Brugge KV will be fully complete, for this game, with all of its players ready to make a difference. No injuries or suspensions are listed, so far. They were unbeaten in 16 consecutive matches, dating all the way to the preseason, before their eventual loss against the mighty PSG in the Champions League group stage match. The scariest part is their defense, with them allowing only 6 goals so far in their domestic league. That is a goal on almost every third game, which is terrifying. Combining all of that will probably be too much for out-of-form Oostende.
