This was the perfect response," he said on Twitter, in his first public comments since the crisis broke out. Well done to the players and the coach. Now, we have to work hard and treat the next games as if they were against Liverpool. Today is not the day to talk about measures taken by the club against the players.
Jack is getting better and better. He is a top player and when you have top players you get performances like that at Old Trafford. I thought he was good at Manchester City and we missed him against Liverpool. Tellingly, Smith also said that Grealish "wouldn't sleep tonight" after a costly miss shortly before Manchester United went 2-1 ahead. In that regard it shows that complacency is not an issue for a player who struggled with professionalism earlier in his career.
Liverpool's victory means they have now gone 30 games unbeaten in the Premier League and have still dropped only two points in the league all season. Firmino underlines Liverpool resilienceWith Jurgen Klopp deciding to keep Mo Salah on the bench following an ankle problem, the timing of Firmino's scrappy winner was immaculate. Not only did it end his run of nine games without a goal, it also meant Klopp could change his intention to throw Salah onto the pitch to help his side find a winner.
It probably would not be a bad idea if Ancelotti gave Duncan Ferguson the last word in the dressing room before the team runs out.

Amatch in the Greek Football League, where Kalamata and Diagoras Rhodes will play against Each Other. The guests are in better shape this season. They are in the middle of the table with the home team at the bottom. However, the hosts need points in this match so I expect them to play better and win all 3 points. They are the last one with 12 points, so if they want to save themselves they have to start playing better, I expect it's time to win. The Diagoras have 26 points in the table, but it is their turn to lose one match.
Everton are in great shape at the moment and we’re expecting them to take the points here. They face a team that have conceded almost two goals per game on average and the visitors have scored exactly two goals in three of their last six Premier League away games. Backing a 2-1 win for the visitors is our choice for the correct score prediction.

I have picking my result based on from , The host most losses though are from Away matches 17th Dijon 14 Monaco but the 7th placed Reims was a loss at home again I compared the games that they share, I found out that though the host lost against Monaco the guest in the other hand won to them.

In the last five head to head games St. Etienne have lost just once, head to head they have drawn 70% of the games, so with the above Away to grab the three points
Next season delayed?The EFL season is currently suspended indefinitely with the last handful of games taking place in League One and League Two on 10 March. Several sides have already put players and staff on furlough or temporary leave. However, a £125m advance from the Premier League to the EFL and National League will not be distributed "while additional clarity is sought on other financial matters, particularly in respect to player wages".
Odds are not bad for the over 2.5 goals but I want even bigger odds and will gladly jump on the odds for the over 3.5 goals and one of the main reasons for this is the guests who have played with Hapoel Petah Tikva on the road and lost the game with 4-2 while at home last round they lost 4-2 to MS Kafr Qasim and those two sides are really not even top teams in the second league level in Israel but the defense of Nazareth was all over the place and now they need to be careful not to relegate from this group.
Hearts captain Steven Naismith has agreed to take a 50% wage cut in order to help the club survive.

It looks an interesting clash. Paks prefer the Hungarian footballer in the team and the peoples like it. They cannot show stable performance but they have got a good season always after a few bad. Puskas Academy sign many player from abroad, although the PM of Hungary want to see the youth player got a gain time. In my opinion the teams run a different goal. The home team will finish middle of the table, but they have got a good record at home, while Puskas want to copy the Mezokovesd Zsory performance, although Henry left the team, who was one of the best player in the Hungarian Premier League. I expect a close game with plenty of goals. My tip: 2-1, 2-2, or 1-2.
The coronavirus outbreak has wiped out most of the world's sporting schedule in the past few days, but people were able to get their weekend football fix at some of England's non-league grounds on Saturday. Fixtures in the Premier League, English Football League and Women's Super League have been postponed until 3 April at the earliest. The National League decided against such action in their three divisions for now, and six games in the fifth tier went ahead as scheduled on Saturday - a decision which has been criticised by several club managers.
It's going to happen in the Premier League, Championship, probably in League One and I think that League Two should follow suit.

Both Inter and Fiorentina have done fairly well in their recent matches and after their 1-1 draw in their league meeting earlier, both will feel they have what it takes to win this one. However, for Fiorentina, we feel their away form may pull them down here, especially by the fact that they are playing one of the best defensive sides in the league. Inter also have a good run over Fiorentina; they are unbeaten in five meetings with Fiorentina and they are unbeaten in their last four home games. We are backing Inter for a win here.

Meanwhile, Jalapa have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Jalapa only have draw in 1 match and 2 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Walter Ferreti can beat Jalapa due to Walter Ferreti always won on last 3 match in home match.
Depending on where they are in that range of projected revenue (£560-580m), and if City and Liverpool do well in the Champions League, it could be very, very close. If you think about where we were 10 years ago, the idea that City would overhaul United in financial terms would have seemed far-fetched.

The road to the Carabao Cup final is getting shorter. This week sees an all-Premier League affair as the first legs of the semi-finals take place. Manchester City have the advantage over Manchester United after Tuesday's game at Old Trafford, and Leicester City host Aston Villa on Wednesday. As we enter a new decade, BBC Sport has gone through the EFL Cup archives and listed all the semi-finalists from the 2010s.
He has scored 10 goals in his last 12 appearances for Wolves - yet, while those figures reek of consistency, the opposite is more accurate. Jota has actually scored in just four of those 12 games, bagging two doubles and two hat-tricks in a true all-or-nothing style. Indeed, he had gone eight games without a goal prior to Thursday's treble - since scoring five times in two games against Brighton and Besiktas in December.

At the age of 22, Peters was to take his place in England's sporting hall of fame as he scored the sort of goal that became his trademark in the final against West Germany, pouncing in the penalty box to put England 2-1 ahead.
