Referee Steven MacLean was having a difficult night and Rangers midfielder Jack may well have been lucky to only see a yellow after a high challenge on Michael Smith. But just as the first half was petering out the game burst into action. As Steven Naismith raced towards the Rangers goal, defender George Edmundson clearly used his left arm to help usher the ball away from danger.
Jordan Henderson, my player of the season, epitomised Liverpool's ruthlessness with an excellently taken goal. By the time Brighton realised the mood Liverpool were in, the game was over. Did you know? Liverpool captain Henderson has scored more Premier League goals in 2019-20 (four) than in his previous three seasons combined before this (three). Welbeck: What a winner by Welbeck. I must be honest, I didn't think he would be featuring in my team of the week but his goal against Norwich was just too good.

I consider that there have been lots of things, lots of noise about Gareth. As trainer, I concentrate on the football.
The hosts have struggled to score goals at home of late. While forward Andrea Belotti has 10 goals in his last 13 home games, Il Toro have scored only once in their last four at this ground. Without the striker at his best they are looking short in attack, so the fact that Belotti is ruled out of Sunday’s clash suggests that this will be a tough clash for the hosts.
In the closing days of the transfer window, Barca sold Spain Under-21 wingers Carles Perez and Abel Ruiz to Roma and Braga respectively - and signed Braga forward Francisco Trincao but let him stay with the Portuguese club until the summer.

Well this is the final round of the first phase of the Bulgarian championship and both of this teams are going to play at the championship group so this is not an important match for them as everything is decided. Both teams are similar in quality and have very good individuals who can make a difference. Whenever this two teams are playing the matches are always very tough and very even and it really do predict the winner and given all of the circumstances a draw here is most realistic for me for sure, as both coaches will not force anything and risk some injury.
Jonsson concurs saying: “I know he is delivering right now, but then those clubs who want him will still come in for him later and then he will be in an even stronger position. For my part, I think that he is in a good environment and that it makes sense to be there. There is no stress about getting away from there.

soligorsk is still not playing as good as it was expected before the season started and right now they are on seventh position, just above Slavia mozyr but trust me soligorsk is way better team and they will surely win this game but also I think they will score 3 or maybe even 4 goals cause on the other hand Slavia defense is not so good and they are this high on table only because their offense scored a lot of goals but today I think 2 goals difference win for soligorsk is very realistic outcome so I surely recommend this bet

The second goal wasn't long in coming, however, Martial squeezing home a low, left-foot shot after a swift exchange with Dan James. City felt they should have had a penalty before the break when Fred slid in to block a low pull-back from Kyle Walker with the home players feeling the ball struck his arm but the VAR review backed referee Anthony Taylor's judgement.
Blackfield & Langley will host Beaconsfield Town for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Also, these two teams have a poor results in the last matches. In any case, I expect, another one tough match for both sides. Perhaps, the hosts have better chance to win. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch... Also, we have Beaconsfield Town who's is worst team in the league. Of course, for them, every win is very important. True, they were the weaker team. In any case, visitors will probably try to try all three points or even one point.

They began explosively with the sort of goal the fearsome Ferguson used to trademark. Richarlison fed Djibril Sidibe wide and moved into the six-yard box to meet the cross with a bullet close-range header that ignited Goodison after five minutes. Equally fast and effective football almost delivered a second goal for the Brazilian soon after but the striker just failed to get on the end of Theo Walcott's cross.

But Aberdeen were level when Lewis Ferguson's cross was flicked on by Matty Kennedy into the path of Taylor, who chested the ball down before despatching it beyond the helpless Fraser Forster. Aberdeen were playing with a confidence that the home fans had rarely seen evidence of this season, and Funso Ojo and McGinn both threatened before the break. Celtic's record of not dropping points after taking the lead this season was under threat with the windy conditions proving troublesome for both sets of players, but the home side were marginally coping the better.

Bruce said he supports the idea of a winter break, but cutting it short "wasn't quite right" and asking players to play 15 games in two months is "ridiculous". Chelsea and Manchester United have had the longest winter breaks with 16 days between their two games, while Southampton only had 10 days between their matches.

Ross County will host Kilmarnock after picking up an important win that will serve them well for their relegation battle. We're going to back both teams to score for this game, as Ross County has seen that happen in their last three home ties whilst it's also happened in two of Kilmarnock's previous four away days. A 1-1 draw also seems like a good shout, as the hosts have done relatively well on home turf this season although not so well in defence, letting in an average of 2.38 goals but also managing to score 1.5 times. In stark contrast, Killie has conceded far less- 1.88 goals- but has also scored half of the amount their upcoming opponents have.

The problem with the Ajax model of course is that it is all well and good putting together this brilliant young team together but you are vulnerable once it starts getting ripped apart. This is something that Huijnen points as if Ajax start selling again it might lead to more departures plus they want to try and keep ahold of their manager.
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.
