The player is unsettled and Borussia Dortmund are open to a sale, but only in the summer. Despite Liverpool and United’s interest the German club believe they will not maximise his value in January, and will wait for the summer when Real Madrid and Manchester City could give extra competition. Paper Round’s view: The rumours of Sancho and Dortmund being at odds have continued for most of the season, but he continues to feature in the first team.
Meanwhile, as evidenced by the dozens of videos that abound on social networks, the Italians stick together, figuratively. The Bergamo club had just been through a more than hectic week. After the announcement of the country's quarantine, when the club was already in Valencia for the knockout round of the Champions League, everything changed.
Schalke are set to host Union Berlin this Friday evening at the Veltins-Arena in the German Bundesliga. This contest will see two of the Bundesliga's in-form sides at present go head to head in an exciting clash. Both teams will hope to take a positive result from this Friday's game.
Professional football in England has been suspended until April 30, at the earliest, due to the pandemic with some top flight clubs putting non-playing staff on leave. Norwich City said on Thursday their players and management had agreed to donate a percentage of their salaries, amounting to more than 200,000 pounds ($247,280), to help those affected by the virus.
Cologne are also the lowest-scoring team in the Bundesliga this season. They have scored just 12 goals in their 14 Bundesliga games. They have scored at least three fewer goals than any other Bundesliga side, at this point.
Bournemouth have been left standing on the starting line since the Premier League restarted, and two of their last five games are against teams in the top three. Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It seems as though everything is very down at Bournemouth. I listen to Eddie Howe and it is like they are resigned to going down. The games are very difficult but we have seen Bournemouth pick up a result where you don't expect it.
If he fails, they have lost nothing, but even delaying the ban by a year would allow them to get their house in order for longer term planning and transfer strategy. Read the full story Video - Ramsey the key to Pogba's Juve return - Euro Papers01:26 Klopp refuses to compare Minamino to Haaland Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has told the press that they can't compare Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland to Takumi Minamino.
Roberto Gagliardini was prepared to play despite not being at 100 percent, because we were in an emergency situation. It makes a coach happy to see players like him, Matias Vecino and Borja Valero go through the pain barrier to put the team first. Inter went ahead when Antonio Candreva's cross was diverted into the net by a Lukaku header after 31 minutes and Gagliardini scored the second two minutes later with a deflected shot.
He is taking over from a manager loved by supporters who feel he was sacked in haste - and this is not the Mourinho who walked into his previous jobs. The Portuguese has left a shambles behind him after his past two jobs at Chelsea and United, both in terms of the team and morale at the club. Pochettino was a unifying figure for most of his time at Spurs. Mourinho is confrontational and divisive. He also needs to prove he is not a busted flush, a man out of his time compared to Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.
A very interesting match, I think the game will end in a draw. Lechia after a good previous round and currently undefeated in several games. The team will play at home so it has the advantage. Lechia had the restart of the season with 4 points, but lost 2 of the last 4 home games. The team is currently in 7th place with 42 points. Cracovia continued where they left off before the break: with defeats. There are now a total of 6, but there was also a lot of bad luck with narrow defeats. Overall, the team is still not so bad, with 6th place and the same number of points, the team even stands by the hosts and at some point the team will come back in form. Maybe already here.
However, the initial bet didn't state that the Range Rover had to be new. Fabregas presented Caballero with a battered old Range Rover that he'd found in a scrap yard for only £950 - complete with cracked windscreen. A video shared by Fabregas shows the moment Caballero is presented the car in front of his Chelsea team-mates including Pedro and Marcos Alonso. The lesson of the story is: Don't bet at all at any cost," Fabregas concluded.
the Mainz 05 fc team and the Freiburg fc team, meet in Germany Bundesliga. The Mainz 05 fc is in 14th position with 18 points Collected. While guest team the Freiburg fc team came in 8th place by collecting 26 points Collected.
The performance of the referee was like my team, not so good," said Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti. Straightaway we said no penalty," said MOTD pundit Cahill. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he cannot leave Mason Greenwood out of his team after the teenager scored for the third straight Premier League game. The English forward, 18, took his tally to 16 for the campaign by netting in United's 3-0 victory at Aston Villa.
Wenger will recommend the change during the world soccer's lawmaking body IFAB's annual general meeting in Belfast on Feb. You will be not offside if any part of the body that can score a goal is in line with the last defender, even if other parts of the attacker's body are in front," Wenger told the British media.
Not knowing when the window opens, WhatsApp videos, threadbare squads and being tighter than two coats of paint. Scottish football has been given formal permission to begin the Premiership season on 1 August, but ambiguity and uncertainty surrounds the buying and selling of players. From an international without a club, to a chief executive needing another 14 players, BBC Scotland speaks to those waiting for the transfer window to open in the coming days.
Smolevichy may have the good start in this new competition for that young team, but it is the question if they could remain at the same high level for longer period of time, especially against favorites like today.
Newcastle at full strength but held againNewcastle boss Bruce has a refreshing attitude to the FA Cup. Having reached the 2014 final with Hull, he has targeted it as a tournament Newcastle can have a run in, admitting they are not going to win the league. They have not reached the fifth round since 2005-06 and just as they did against Rochdale in the previous round, they will need a replay if they are to progress.
'Correct Score' punters are pointed towards a 2-1 win for the hosts. Southend have made a habit of getting a goal on the road, but their defence has often let them down. Moreover, Bristol Rovers have notched multiple goals in each of their last three and, with someone like Johnson Clarke-Harris in their ranks, appear to have the strength to outscore weak opponents.
Aston Villa won with no less than 5-1 away from home at Norwich earlier this season, and Norwich did lose most of their games away from home this season by 2-0 in the end biggest loss away from home was on opening round away from home at Liverpool where they lost the game with 4-1, but Aston Villa even had the lead 5-0 away at Norwich two months ago also missing a penalty kick at 2-0, and the way they carved up they opponents defense of course makes me bet on the hosts to win easy once more.

And then there's John Stones, England's best ball-playing centre-back. A complete liability at his worst, a smart attack-launcher at his best. He has to leave City in the summer and start playing regularly again. Only then can he be trusted to play alongside Gomez, who will undoubtedly benefit from another season alongside Virgil van Dijk.
AZ have only lost one of their seven home games in the Eredivisie this season, winning five of their seven matches, while Partizan have lost twice on the road in their domestic league. With 71% of AZ’s home games ending in victory this season and the hosts scoring an average of 2.71 goals per home game, you can start to see why we’ve backed the Eredivisie side to claim a 2-0 win on Thursday. 71% of Partizan’s away games have produced over 1.5 goals this season but AZ have kept clean sheets in 71% of their home and away games this season and haven’t conceded a goal in any of their last six matches and that is why we have backed the hosts to win 2-0.
He has, however, found it difficult leaving his partner and two-year-old daughter in Liverpool. It is tough not being with them, but we keep in touch through FaceTime," Baxter, who signed a 12-month deal with the Tennessee outfit, adds. Some of the away games here involve three-day round trips, so I felt it would be selfish of me to leave them in my apartment for so long, thousands of miles from home.

Corry Evans says that the impact which led to him fracturing his skull could be compared to getting hit in the face with a hammer. The Northern Ireland midfielder suffered the injury during a Championship game for Blackburn Rovers against Preston North End in January. Evans, 29, is hopeful of being available to play again in May, but said he was fearful for his career immediately after the incident.
The 22-year-old central defender will return to the side because of injury problems in the middle of defence. Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren mean that Klopp does not want to risk a lack of cover as the club pursue their challenge for the title. Paper Round’s view: It may not be the best for Phillips’ career, but bringing him back for an almost certain challenge for a Premier League title will allow him to enjoy success at the highest level.
A three – game winless run against Derby will also not help; the two sides have played to 1-1 draws in their last two meetings while earlier, Derby had won 2-1. On their part, Derby are reeling from a run of four winless outings and have no clean sheet in their last six matches. They had a decent showing against QPR on Tuesday but that wasn’t enough to get them back to winning ways.
Hello everyone tipsters I want to give you prediction about this game from Egypt first league. I don't know too much about this league but I will try to get some money from them. The home team are not a good condition and they stay on the bottom of the league, but they take the win last game and today they hope to win again. Haras is not easy team and I will think the best option for this game is draw. Haras El Hodood the same like their opponent take the win last game with Pyramids one of the top team in the league. My prediction is draw.
Dortmund are not even doing their best to implode, they just implode all the time it seems," says Honigstein. They had another horrific result and performance in the Bundesliga against Leverkusen. It is the sort of result and sort of vulnerability in defence that will not win you titles and will make it very difficult to knock out one of the favourites. There are so many issues in defence. Clearly something tactical is wrong, been ongoing for one and a half years.
NewcastleNewcastle United were the first Premier League club to place their non-playing staff on temporary leave. Managing director Lee Charnley instructed club employees that they will still be fully paid, but that they should apply to the government to subsidise 80% of their pay packet. NorwichNorwich have made use of the government’s job retention scheme, with the club topping up the 80% pay so that staff will receive their full salary.
The Cottagers may be favourites here, but they have struggled against the top teams. They’ve failed to win against any of the top nine in the Championship, with Saturday bringing a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol City. When you combine that return with a Preston side who were a minute shy of an unbeaten home record this term, we struggle to see why Fulham are so strongly fancied. We see Preston avoiding defeat here, with the division’s strongest home side well priced to not lose this week.
The La Liga leaders instead appointed former Real Betis boss Quique Setien. I did not agree to this offer, especially as it is too early for me to coach Barcelona," said Xavi, 39. But it will still be my dream to coach the team in the future. Xavi, who made more than 750 appearances for Barcelona between 1998 and 2015, added that he "loves" Setien. I love the way he works and I expect him to succeed with the team," he said.
What can I say than that Salzburg is in top form completely dominating all 3 games played by them and for an example they won with 6-0 away from home at Hartberg game in which they had the lead 3-0 since the 12 minute of the game while LASK lost on their opening game in this group with 2-1 at home to same Hartberg side so should we expect Salzburg to win this one with 6-0, probably not but they should produce another solid performance and at least win this one by at least 2 goals difference.
Palace barely threatened with Andros Townsend's long-range free-kick and Wilfried Zaha's weak shot both comfortable for goalkeeper Rui Patricio to deal with. Roy Hodgson's side have tailed off badly since the restart and cannot finish higher than 13th place. Relive Wolves' win over Palace gameWolves' long season goes onWolves finished seventh last term and were the first Premier League team to begin the 2019-20 campaign when they competed in the Europa League qualifiers 360 days ago.
Academico Viseu will host Chaves for the Cup. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Both sides are one of the teams of the Segunda Liga. Both teams are very average teams in this season. Perhaps, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, I do not think, the hosts have big advantage in this game. In any case, this will not be an easy job for the hosts. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Of course, Chavez is a very unpredictable team. I think, they will try to be much more serious in this game. My pick - Chaves to win.
When we look at the recent efforts of both teams, siding with the home win becomes a relatively easy thing to do. Sunderland haven't been prolific winners this term, but they've looked a lot better of late and are seemingly facing a declining Wycombe side at the right time. While the Chairboys have struggled to hit their stride offensively of late, the Black Cats have steadily improved, scoring six in their last three. Wycombe have failed to score in each of their last three on the road, while their average away shot supremacy of -2.09 doesn't look great against Sunderland's of +3.87 at home.
Manchester United are unbeaten in their last six away league games. Manchester United have won four of their last six away league fixtures. Manchester United haven't conceded in either of their last three away league matches. Leicester City's defending is inconsistent and United's attack can punish them.
Luton Town welcomes Charlton Athletic in England Championship 18th round. Both teams are out of form but the visitors are more better than the host. Luton Town are struggling to escape relegation but their form is totally very poor for that, 5 league straight lost matches don't speak better for a team that want to leave relegation zone. 22 position in the league, 14 points from 17 matches, 23 goals against 32 , 4 wins in all, 2 draws and 11 lost matches. Charlton are 13th in the league with 23 points, 24 goals against 21, winning 6, 5 draws and 6 lost games. Last 4 meetings between both teams ended in over 3.5 goals.
The intensity of the analysis and the scrutiny and the number of people who are interested in the national team is much bigger. Everyone in the country has an interest, suddenly, so that's what Stephen will have to deal with, that extra element of pressure. It has got easier to quality for tournaments now in that there are more places available, and you can see that with the Republic. We won no games in the Nations League and yet we're still in a position where we're in a play-off to get to the Euros having only won three games in the group.
brest enter this fixture the better team among the two teams coming into this match with a record of 2 drawers and 2 wins and a single loss in their last 5 fixtures. Their counterparts in this match enter this fixture with a record of 4 losses and a single win in their last five fixtures this is an alarming set of results but then it shouldn't be used by brest as a clear sign of a walkover because miracles are capable of happening. A straight win for brest is not guaranteed there it prompts the over goals prediction for the match
Substitute Bailey picked the ball up wide in the area, shuffled away from a bewildered Matt Polster and lifted a delicate finishing up and around McGregor. That ended any hope of a Rangers revival and ensured they would lose a European game at Ibrox for the first time since a Champions League qualification defeat against Malmo in 2011. Match statsRangers have lost consecutive home games for the first time since March 2018Leverkusen have won consecutive away games in all European competition for the first time since October 2012, having won in Porto in the last roundThe German side have now won their last two matches against British sides, having also beaten Tottenham 1-0 at Wembley in November 2016Havertz has been involved in five goals in this three Europa League games this term (3 goals, 2 assists).
In that it took its cue from England’s Prime Minister, who said his government was not going to follow the example set by so many other countries and impose the kind of mass shutdown that China and Italy have deployed, and Ireland and France are adopting to varying degrees too. This was even despite Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers revealing earlier in the day that three of his players were self-isolating after showing possible symptoms of COVID-19.
This conference call with all the managers, all the captains and all the CEOs. I heard people said that (Manchester City's) Kevin De Bruyne spoke well, (Watford's) Troy Deeney spoke well and (West Ham's) Mark Noble, but other people also told me it was really a bit of a bunfight. You have to have those discussions but now there ought to be a possibility of all of them, not with 100 people on the call, but a smaller number of people, saying 'we have got a bit of a problem here, how do we iron it out? What is the best thing to do?'" Yet the former Downing Street Director of Communications, who has plenty of experience of crisis management, believes it is not too late for a change of approach.
EA Guingamp will engage SM Caen in French League 2 taking place in Stade du Roudourou in Guingamp.

But he came out of it. He was the benchmarkThe incident was raised with world governing body Fifa, which ruled a year later there was not "sufficient evidence" to warrant punishment. Gibbs-White had become a statistic - another professional footballer who had been racially abused. During that season, anti-discrimination organisation Kick It Out reported there were 304 complaints of discriminatory behaviour relating to race and faith in England.
Probably two or three years I think," he said. Earlier, he had told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast that there was "no consensus" between countries regarding finishing the domestic season, as each country faces different situations regarding the virus and government decisions. France's top two divisions, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, will not resume this season after France banned all sporting events, including those behind closed doors, until September.
Jan 11 (Reuters) - Second-tier Spanish soccer team Malaga say they have sacked coach Victor Sanchez del Amo four days after suspending him following the release of an explicit video of him on social media.
