Meanwhile, Gennaro Gattuso’s good Coppa Italia record should be enough to haul Napoli back to winning ways. The former AC Milan boss took the Rossoneri to the 2018 final and then the semis in 2019, so we expect his taste for the cup to continue in Naples. Napoli have won five from six at home in this competition, while Perugia have had some high scoring defeats, losing five of their last seven cup trips and shipping 19 goals in those five losses. We’re tipping the hosts for a 3-2 victory on Tuesday.
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.
Valverde was sacked when Barcelona were top of La Liga. In the newspaper interview Abidal said: "Many players weren't satisfied or working hard and there was also an internal communication problem. The relationship between the coach and the dressing room has always been good but there are things as an ex-player that I could smell. I told the club what I thought and we reached a decision [on Valverde].
Ajax have won seven from seven at home in the Eredivisie this season and look unstoppable in their own backyard, while Willem II have lost three of their seven away games which doesn’t bode well ahead of their trickiest away game of the campaign. The hosts have won their last seven matches against Willem II and over 3.5 goals scored in six of the pairs’ last seven encounters, so you can see why we’re backing at least four goals to be scored and Ajax to win on Friday.

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.
I got to the stage where I felt like I didn't know how it was to feel normal," said Kirby. I remember having numerous conversations and thinking: 'I can't do this any more. That's changed in the last few weeks, obviously, because I'm feeling better. But I've probably nearly called [Chelsea boss] Emma Hayes and [England manager] Phil Neville so many times to say 'I'm done'. Hopefully I'll keep getting better and then we can see how it goes.
Famalicão v Chaves live 7 January 2024 Free 3 hours ago — An interesting match between two strong German teams, Monchengladbach Borussia will play at home with Bayer.
Third-placed Stade Rennais beat visiting Nimes 2-1 earlier on Sunday to reduce the gap to second-placed Olympique de Marseille to eight points. Five days after losing 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League last-16 first leg, PSG did little to reassure their fans. The players had 'Stay Strong China' written on their shirts to show their support for the victims of the coronavirus that has killed more than 2,000 people in China.
I have no words to say about the stadium. I’ve never seen anything like this – it’s unbelievable! "This is a fantastic challenge that I have accepted and I have to win my challenge. I want to make good things – let’s see!" Tottenham are eighth in the Premier League, nine points adrift of the top four, and travel to Vicarage Road to face rejuvenated Watford on Saturday.
However, the Blues have failed to pick a single win in the following six games, losing four of them consecutively before picking up two draws in their last couple of ties. They've netted an average of a goal a game in their last six but have a woeful defence that's conceded 16 times in those fixtures.
Hoffenheim and Eintracht start the new year with a fierce match with no determined favorite. It is the first match after the break and many things are unclear. But, Hoffenheim had some decent results with wins over Union and Dortmund so they should be feeling the confidence. Hoffenheim is ranked 7th and just outside the European spots but their home form is a big hit or miss. They have 4-1-4 here but it is still better than what Eintracht does away. Eintracht is the worst away side with 1-0-7 and they seem to give more focus on the Europa this season. They lost some key players and they are sorely missed I would say. Hoffenheim to win today.
We are pleased to have him with us still and I am very much counting on us having him still," Hodgson told reporters. In the summer, the club received at least one bid they didn't feel was the right one to accept and he - unfortunately, if he chooses to see it that way - had to respect the three or four-year contract he signed with the club.
Defender John Egan fired wide from a good position following a goal-mouth scramble, while Stevens shot into the side-netting from a tight angle as the Blades threatened to catch Palace out on the counter. Wilder's team have lost just two of their 13 league games away from Bramall Lane this season, winning four and drawing seven.
Those two victories have doubled the number of league wins Bremen have had this season. Home form has been disappointing with just a single win in the league all season. That was back in September and before the draw with Monchengladbach, they had lost seven straight home league games conceding 19 goals.

Dutch striker Luuk de Jong then missed a gilt-edged chance to score but his side drew level a minute later with an own goal from Athletic defender Unai Nunez, who attempted to block a cross from Lucas Ocampos and diverted it into his own net. Sevilla remain third in the standings on 35 points after 19 games, two behind Real Madrid who visit Getafe on Saturday and four behind leaders Barcelona who play at Espanyol.

Qualification for the tournament is still ongoing. Scotland are second in Group E, Wales are second in Group C, which also contains Northern Ireland in fourth place, and Republic of Ireland are top of Group I. England women's manager Phil Neville was set to lead what will be a Great British Olympics squad in Tokyo, with the team supplemented by players from the other Home Nations. However, his contract, which would have covered the Olympics and Euros had they taken place as scheduled, will now run out before next year's events take place.
Watched Watford play really well away from home at the league leaders from Liverpool where they only lost just 2-0 in the end, and they backed up that solid performance with two solid results at home winning against tough Manchester United with 2-0 and also defeating Aston Villa quite easy with no less than 3-0 in the end as they seem in good enough form to get themselves outside of the relegation zone at this moment after a very poor start to this season.
The former England midfielder, who is recovering from a hamstring injury, didn't just turn up five minutes before kick-off and watch the match either. Was Klopp correct to miss tie with Shrewsbury?The 34-year-old trained with the team in the build up to the game and gave the kids - with an average age of 19 years and 102 days - a pre-match pep talk. I think he was desperate to get on'According to Under-23 manager Neil Critchley, who was in charge with Jurgen Klopp staying away as the replay fell during the Premier League's winter break, he was even eager to play.
To add insult to injury the alleged offer for Rodriguez was later found to be fake. Rodriguez, another player who Zidane seems to have struggled with, is still at Real Madrid. Bale now found himself stranded at a club where the manager had made it abundantly clear he was not wanted. Something clicked in his mind at the point. Real Madrid had decided his future for him. For the time being at least, Bale was going nowhere.
Stadiums host football matches, music concerts, the occasional wedding proposal - but rarely are venues for gender reveals. But that's what Wolves' Molineux Stadium was used for this week. Striker Raul Jimenez and his girlfriend, actor Daniela Basso, invited their friends and family to the stadium to reveal the sex of their unborn baby in a fitting way - by hitting top bins. The Mexico international managed to miss first time, and Daniela sent a shot wide - but a second attempt was all that was needed to hit the target and release a puff of coloured smoke.
Adding Minamino to their ranks would only further strengthen the midfield options at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal. It is difficult to say whether Minamino would break into the starting XI, but he would certainly serve as an attacking option should Liverpool seek a boost from the bench. He would therefore be a direct competitor for both Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could also see Minamino as a direct threat.
The Rs are aiming to end a tough spell of form, with only two points from their last four games. While it has been an impressive start to the season under Mark Warburton, the former Brentford boss should be wary. Last season saw QPR go between rampant runs of form and relegation-worthy slumps. He’ll be hoping for a resurgence, but this is set to be a tough trip for the visitors.
It took until the 51st minute for City to click into gear as Gabriel Jesus scored two goals in seven minutes to put his side 2-0 up. A mistake from stand-in City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo allowed Richarlison to score but City held on for the win. When you are far away from first sometimes people give up, but we never give up," City manager Pep Guardiola said.
It strikes me as being very similar to the way Burnley did things when they had a single season in the top flight in 2014-15 but bounced straight back and were much stronger second time around. For now, though, Norwich are struggling and, while they pushed Wolves hard at Carrow Road earlier in the season, I do not see them getting anything at Molineux.
Also a match where we look get a great pick and do our pick best for us is the mach from Premier league between Manchester City and Sheffield where we look see a great soccer match from boat teams play and a mach with more goals. We look a great new win from home team and new three points for this team and this can be a best chance for us play the pick that we see at the mach minimal four goals what can get to our order a new great 9 points what be a best chance for our pick we play at the mach. Happy and Joy!
He is ready [to be a manager]," said Guardiola. It's right when he has an offer and he accepts the offer. But if you ask whether he is ready in his knowledge of the game, as a person, as a professional; then he is ready. David Moyes, who managed the Toffees between 2002 and 2013, and Shanghai SIPG boss Vitor Pereira have also been heavily linked with the role, along with Napoli's Carlo Ancelotti and Bournemouth's Eddie Howe.
Of course there was a small minority who, for some inexplicable reason, seemed to be upset at Lampard’s apparent pandering to the fans by putting in players who aren’t ready. Presumably these are descendants of the chap who belittled Harry Redknapp for selecting a young Lampard in his West Ham team, only to be completely put in his place.
FC Kopenhagen will host Aalborg for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts will try to make a positive result. Kopenhagen are more ambitious team in this league. I think, the hosts want to get all three points. Also, it should be said, Copenhagen is the best team at home field. In any case, the hosts will try to dominate from the start match. They tend to score a goal. Also, Aalborg is very average team in this season. True, they have two consecutive victories. They probably will try to provide a strong resistance. In any case, this will not be an easy task on the opposite stadium. I think, the hosts will win.
Just as the game looked to be heading for a stalemate, Newcastle earned one last corner in stoppage time, with Hayden rising highest to meet the cross from Allan Saint-Maximin to send St James' into raptures. The result moves Steve Bruce's side up to 12th in the standings on 29 points from 23 games, with Chelsea remaining in fourth place.
Lionel Messi scored a sublime late winner as champions Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid to return to the top of La Liga. Messi curled sweetly into the corner of Jan Oblak's goal from the edge of the penalty box with four minutes remaining for his 11th goal in 10 games. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had earlier made two magnificent saves to deny Mario Hermoso and Alvaro Morata for Atletico. Barcelona climb from third to move above Real Madrid on goal difference.
We need to pick up fast. Leicester show their strength in depthAlthough bruising defeats by Manchester City and Liverpool have seemingly ended Leicester's title challenge, the Foxes are a strong bet to finish in the top four and earn a return to the Champions League next season. Most pleasing for manager Brendan Rodgers was how the decision to make sweeping changes paid off. Rodgers had been clear that he would rest players in the middle of a hectic Christmas period of four league matches in 12 days, with the likes of striker Jamie Vardy - who stayed at home after his wife Rebekah gave birth - midfielder James Maddison and right-back Ricardo Pereira all left out.
Arsenal ready to pounce The ink was barely dry on Napoli's Ancelotti announcement before rumours Arsenal's interest start circulating. Arsenal want talks with Carlo Ancelotti after he was dismissed from his role as Napoli boss on Tuesday night," came the report in The Sun on Tuesday evening. Is it a move that makes sense? Esteemed Madrid-based journalist Michael Hincks isn't so sure, as he explains in today's Paper Round.
For Palace, the best they can achieve for the season is a 13th placed finish and that will need Newcastle United to draw or lose their final match. Crystal Palace won their first match after resumption of football, beating strugglers Bournemouth 2-0, but it has been downhill since, with seven straight losses and they have been misfiring as well in these matches.
But are they on course for the best season by a newly-promoted team?And who is the most-fouled player in the Premier League and what unwanted statistic do Newcastle own? BBC Sport examines the key stats of the weekend. De Bruyne to deliver best yet?"Not since I saw Zinedine Zidane dominate the European Championship final in 2000 have I seen such a complete performance. BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks summed it up - De Bruyne put in a brilliant display at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as he almost single-handedly destroyed the Gunners.
No. The only team left (you don't count, Leicester and Everton) are. It's obvious. Poch has launched his offensive. He’s coming for you, Ole. Video - Messi and Ronaldo in the same team?! Juventus plot extraordinary summer transfer - Euro Papers01:20 Leeds heading back to the big time? Pochettino's arrival at Brentford v Leeds briefly reminded us that football exists outside of the Premier League - and it's around this time of year that we first glance at the Championship table to see who looks like getting amongst the big time.
Isloch Res. will against Vitebsk Res. in match Belarusia Reserve. My prediction this match could be the win for Isloch Res. with margin score is 2 goals. Isloch Res. have great result on last 3 match in league due to Isloch Res. have won for the all match. Meanwhile, Vitebsk Res. have also good result on last 3 match in league due to Vitebsk Res. have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Isloch Res. can beat Vitebsk Res. due to Isloch Res. have better result in league and also have good result on last 3 match in head to head with Vitebsk Res.
MAN UNITED SIGN ENGLAND UNDER-20 GOALKEEPER BISHOP Manchester United have completed the signing of goalkeeper Nathan Bishop from League One side Southend United, on a 2-1/2 year deal. RANGERS SIGN GHEORGHE HAGI'S SON Ianis Hagi, son of Romanian great Gheorghe, has become Scottish side Rangers' first January signing on a six-month loan from Genk.
Adelaide United will host Melbourne Victory for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this league. However, the hosts are in better shape in recent times. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Adelaide is won 1-3 against weak Central Coast Mariners. Also, we have Melbourne Victory who's is a outsider in this game. Visitors have less potential. They have only 1 victory in this campaign. In any case, this will be tense match for both sides. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. They want to continue to the winning track.
United were outstanding going forward but their performance at the back will be pleasing too, staying largely untroubled and keeping the eighth clean sheet from their last 13 top-flight games. The Old Trafford side won only one of their last seven games last season to finish sixth but can be confident in the run-in this term with games against strugglers Bournemouth, Aston Villa and West Ham coming up, and a chance to collect silverware in the FA Cup and Europa League too.
To overcome the coronavirus and the other challenges facing humanity, we need to coordinate individual efforts and work together as a team. I am urging not only my Common Goal teammates, but also all other players and football leaders from around the world to untie and help tackle this crisis, and at the same time, use this as a catalyst to play a key role in tackling the other challenges humanity is facing.
PSV Eindhoven have eight wins in 11 home games in the league. Feyenoord have 10 straight wins across all competitions. Feyenoord are unbeaten in four meetings with PSV. PSV have managed just two clean sheets in their last 11 matches. Feyenoord are unbeaten in six away league matches. PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord are not too far away from the Champions League slots in the Eredivisie and when they face off this Sunday, the target will be to bag three points in the chase for that.

It was very surreal. Wearing the England shirt, with the anthem playing, is a memory that will stay with me forever. It has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live your dreams of being an international footballer. The beauty of it is most of the guys are completely rubbish at football. Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter and 'England' players Richard Plumley and Alan Adesalu. Blatter was born close to 2020 host village Gspon and is the tournament's honorary ambassadorThe heaviest defeat came against eventual champions Russia, with England going down 10-0.
