Now in the Europa League, they are one of the favourites to win the competition. They look to have one foot in the last sixteen after winning 2-0 away at Ludogorets Razgrad in the first leg of this tie. It took them until the 71st minute to take the lead and a 90th minute Lukaku penalty gave them a healthy 2-0 lead.
Any goal they manage to notch is likely to be a consolation effort however. The unbeaten Citizens have been a cut above the rest in Group C, and Liverpool are the only team to have toppled City away from the Etihad in eight fixtures on the road overall.
These two sides drew 3-3 on opening group game at Chelsea U19 who is just 3rd in this group at this moment with only 5 points despite beating Ajax U19 on the road with 1-0, they only drew 3-3 with Valencia at home and 1-1 with Ajax the last game and lost at Lille as well, but the hosts are without any chance of claiming 2nd place, they lost 3 games in a row and I watched them being down 5-1 at home to Ajax and their defense was a pure joke, but not that bad at scoring.

It was the flashpoint of a largely uneventful affair which was settled by Michael Keane's own goal, the ball deflecting in off the Everton defender from Giovani lo Celso's strike. The Toffees barely threatened in a poor attacking display and substitute Anthony Gordon's long-range strike, which was straight at Lloris, their only shot of note. The win keeps alive Tottenham's hopes of playing European football next season.
Premier League leaders Liverpool announced on Thursday that they would not be having mascots at Anfield. They have also cancelled staff travelling to any high-risk countries and "reminded everyone of good hygiene practices". The club also said there will be "hand sanitisers and/or antibacterial handwash in all the washrooms at Anfield" as well as hygiene information posters. Last week Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said the club had stopped their morning handshake ritual while West Ham boss David Moyes said the players would be fist bumping instead of shaking hands.
In both matches they didn’t score, but they recovered to beat Bologna 2-0 in their first Serie A match. Lecce on the other hand seem primed for relegation after 4-1 loss to AC Milan – their third straight loss in the league. Juventus have played a game more than second placed Lazio. With a four-point lead, they will want to take advantage of playing one of the weakest sides in the league.
Every waking thought was Liverpool, even ringing my flat at 7am one Sunday as he agonised alone at Melwood over a substitution - one in this instance he had failed to make - involving Sami Hyypia in a 1-1 draw at Manchester United in March 2000. When asked to preview Euro 2000 for this website, Houllier insisted on a face-to-face meeting after hours at the training ground, producing pages and pages of hand-written documents assessing each team and key players.

They will need to match that resilience in their next five games, four of which are against Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City. Propper's shot from 25 yards was their only effort on goal, but they had several other chances. Yves Bissouma was especially bright with three of their four shots off target.
A tweet read: "Kenny remains ill in hospital and is receiving 24-hour care. He's stable and does not have COVID-19. Kenny's family and close friends still kindly ask the media to respect Kenny's privacy and theirs, plus that of the healthcare workers treating Kenny. Sansom, who played in the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, made his debut at 16 for Crystal Palace in 1975, before going on to play for Arsenal, Newcastle, QPR and Coventry.
Deportivo Las Sabanas is experiencing the rigors of the Nicaragua league. In the first leg, Deportivo Las Sabanas only got 6th place in the Apertura rankings. And things only got worse for them when they entered Clausura.
For whatever reason, he just doesn't seem to like him. Emery's doctrine seems to be 'if you train well and play well, you will get minutes'. That might be a factor in Ozil's lack of game time and Emery does have to stick to his principles as a coach. I'm not saying Ozil holds back in training, but some players are special and they appear to go through the motions during the week, rock up at the weekend and pull it out of the bag.
The Brazilian giants won their first Copa for 38 years in 2019 when they beat defending champions River Plate with an astonishing double from Gabriel Barbosa in the final few minutes. It was the biggest highlight of an exceptional year for the club. Former Benfica and Sporting Lisbon manager Jorge Jesus has overseen a revolution during his time at the helm.
They had been hit by injury and suspension as captain Robson suffered a shoulder injury and Ray Wilkins was sent off against Morocco - but fate intervened as England were revitalised by the introduction of the fiery presence of Everton's Peter Reid and the goals of club-mate Lineker. Lineker, who left Everton for Barcelona after the tournament, scored a brilliant 35-minute hat-trick, turning home crosses from Gary Stevens and Steve Hodge before pouncing on a goalkeeping error for his third.

Xavi confirmed media reports that he had spoken to Barca's sporting director Eric Abidal and chief executive Oscar Grau over the weekend. He did not give details of the meeting but acknowledged that he would love to take charge of his former side one day. I cannot say anything, they were here to talk to me and we discussed many things.
Zagadou volleyed in from a corner in the 52nd minute and 19-year-old Haaland tapped in for his ninth league goal in six Bundesliga matches in the 66th to continue his sensational scoring run since joining in the winter. Haaland had also struck twice in the 2-1 victory over Paris St Germain in the Champions League in midweek.
And you can kind of see what the idea was, can’t you? COMING UP Making a steaming mess of the transfer window. Fans boiling on the edge of mutiny. Best player knackered. And, of course, 3-1 and a humiliation down from the first leg. What a time for Manchester United to be heading to Manchester City. Also you know that game in hand that Liverpool have, that would be very important in any other title race? That’s happening tonight as well.
The Ballon d'Or has been football's most prestigious individual award since its inception in 1956. Initially open to Europeans, all players at European clubs became eligible in 1995, before all players from around the world were considered from 2007. There have been 18 different winners in the Premier League era, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi winning it five times apiece between 2008 and 2017.
Will he move on if they fail to secure Champions League football? You would have to say it’s likely. Everybody knows the ambition from both parts is not being met the last years,” Raiola told Sky Sports earlier this month. We need to see in the summer if Paul is still in the plans of United and if United is still in the plans of Paul.
Hello everyone. Today is going to be a very exciting football match. Two teams are facing each other in this Liga Primera match in NICARAGUA: Sabanas vs.Ferretti. Both teams have played recently with results to follow, so the outcome of this game can be unpredictable. However, I find it interesting to place a bet on Ferretti to win this match to the odds of 1.85. I think that the chances for the outcome to happen are bigger than the odds indicates, and therefore I think this is a value bet. Feel free to join me in placing this bet and good luck to all.
The game in which Liverpool could secure the Premier League title could be held at a neutral venue, says the national lead for football policing. Deputy Chief Constable Mark Roberts says up to six matches could be moved at the request of local police forces. They include the Merseyside derby as well as Manchester City v Liverpool. Roberts said discussions with the Premier League had been "positive" with a "shared focus on the priority of public health".
Two teams are from the mid of the league table, and have won almost same amount of points in the begin of the season. At the moment, rivals are playing with huge amount of goals scored on their games, were often results are with five, six or even more in the final outcome of the match.
The see-saw game could not have got off to a worse start for Arteta's side, though, as their shambolic defending allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin to overhead kick Everton into the lead following a Gylfi Sigurdsson free-kick after just 49 seconds. But the Gunners slowly wrestled control of the game away from the visitors, with Eddie Nketiah side-footing a volley home to draw them level from early substitute Bukayo Saka's superb left-wing cross, before Aubameyang slotted them into the lead.
Edin Visca gave the hosts a lifeline with a late goal in normal time and then netted a penalty to take them through to the last 16. Bundesliga side Wolfsburg made sure of their place in the next round with a 3-0 win in Malmo that secured a 5-1 aggregate victory for the Germans. The visitors went in front four minutes before half-time through Josip Brekalo while second-half goals from Yannick Gerhardt and Joao Victor wrapped up a comfortable win.
With Bournemouth's crippling and lengthening injury list a major factor, we're tipping Burnley to eke out a 1-0 win this weekend however. The Clarets beat Bournemouth home and away last season, and that positive recent record should give them enough impetus to take advantage of their host's personnel crisis.
Which is more likely? Well, PSG boss Thomas Tuchel is supposedly a key admirer having worked with Dembele at Borussia Dortmund. Expect a blockbuster swap deal. ESTIMATED COST: £65m or swap deal Video - Barca 'to cull EIGHT players' in epic transfer dumpster fire - Euro Papers01:49 27.

Lewandowski takes his tally to 30 goals for club and country in his 24th appearance of the season in all competitions, with 10 goals coming in the Champions League group stages. The Pole converted a penalty on 53 minutes to double Bayern's lead from the first half, then the 31-year-old put a further three goals past Red Star goalkeeper Milan Borjan within seven minutes. In 2015 Lewandowski scored five in nine minutes after coming on as a substitute in Bayern's victory over Wolfsburg to record the fastest five goals scored by one player in Bundesliga history.
Arteta was just an onlooker in the stands for the lifeless draw at Everton, but that was followed by a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Boxing Day and a crushing late defeat by Chelsea at home last Sunday. This was a different game altogether, though, as Arsenal put the pieces together. With Granit Xhaka, who has been linked with a move to Hertha Berlin, restored to the midfield, the Swiss and Lucas Torreira were quicker to the tackle than their opponents.
Their goalless draw at Watford was hardly the stuff of dreams last weekend, but it does leave them in a very respectable 10th position as we approach the halfway point, and they could even move as high as 6th with a victory on Monday. Of course, that would require an awful lot of luck earlier in the weekend, but the fact that they’re closer to the top five than to the relegation zone is cause for celebration in itself.
RIP. Mourinho’s latest crank of the excuse generator will appease some. Daniel Levy should have signed a striker in January – or any of the previous three windows – but that’s not the reason they lost. Their colossal lack of ambition against a team shunting full-backs into central defence, allowing their opponents to slice through their defence easier than a knife in their VIP cheese room, is to blame.

Dinamo is in hard position, with the all losing games in the league and team is currently at the bottom of the playout part of the competition. They are in danger of going to the lower level, since team is not complete and squad are having a lot of player missing.
There isn’t a lot to pick from between these two with them both having their defensive limitations and good attacking options but with those two things at the forefront of our minds, we’re predicting that both sides will find the net this weekend and continue their trend of not being able to keep a clean sheet.
Isloch Reserves is going to face Vitebsk Reserves. The hosts of this clash are one of the strongest teams in the last matches and they won three in a row. They scored 13 goals and conceded 7 in this season but in the last three matches, they conceded only two goals on away. Isloch won last two matches at home and kept clean sheets. Vitebsk is strong at home but on away they conceded 11 goals and scored only 3. They got only one point after a draw against Fk Sluck. I think that Isloch will pick easy win here with at least one goal advantage
MANCHESTER, England, April 5 (Reuters) - FIFA is getting ready to deal with complaints and appeals over wage cuts for players, producing guidelines for clubs and football bodies looking to cut costs during the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an internal document seen by Reuters showed. The issue of pay cuts for players has exploded as a major controversy in England while in other countries, such as Germany and Spain, players have accepted temporary reductions in earnings.

Alexander-Arnold, 21, scored a goal, registered three assists and helped the Reds keep three clean sheets to win the award for the first time. Premier League leaders Liverpool won all five of their games last month. Klopp, 52, has equalled Pep Guardiola's record for most awards in a season.
