Mourinho's decision to play Son alongside Harry Kane, Moura and Alli away at the London Stadium proved fatal for the Hammers. It's still very early days but Son, Kane and Moura could do for Spurs under Mourinho what Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have done for Liverpool. Read more about what I have to say about Mourinho's arrival at Spurs in Crooks of the Matter below. Did you know? With 19 goals, Son Heung-min is Tottenham's leading goalscorer in all competitions in 2019 - netting one more than Harry Kane so far this calendar year.
But sometimes they do, and Liverpool’s volte face on Monday should provide encouragement that if your club has messed up, you should tell them. Tell them loud, and tell them often. Because it just might work. Liverpool’s decision to not take up the option of using the large pot of money set aside by the government to pay members of their non-playing staff, as they had initially intended to do while topping up their employees’ pay, is a welcome one but we should be cautious about dishing out too much praise.
Emile Smith-Rowe's deflected sixth-minute shot and a header by Jon Gorenc Stankovic from the resulting corner promised much early on. But Lewis O'Brien's 34th-minute shot from 25 yards, straight at keeper Simon Sluga, was the last meaningful effort the Terriers had all game. Luton were markedly better after the break, playing in more advanced areas and stifling the hosts in wide areas. Their opening goal came after their first shot of the game.
However Liverpool explained that "travel disruption beyond both his and the club's control" had meant he was unable to make the visit and would now do so "at the earliest possible opportunity". I am of course very happy and proud to win this award and I want to dedicate it to everyone who has helped me on my journey from the very beginning," Mane told the Liverpool website. It was my plan to first fly to Senegal to thank the people of my country and recognise them for everything they have given me on my journey, but unfortunately we were unable to make the visit.
They have failed to score in just one of the last 10 matches and have scored two goals or more in seven of their last 10 matches. Nine of their last 10 Bundesliga matches have produced over 2. Dortmund are unbeaten in eight Bundesliga games at home this season while they have just one loss in the last 25 home matches in the league.
More importantly he has lifted the standard and the spirit within the squad as well. Standout moments include his perfectly-weighted chipped pass to allow Anthony Martial to volley home the opening goal in the 2-0 win over Manchester City in the last league game, while he converted nerveless penalties against Watford and Club Bruges. And his silencing of City boss Guardiola during the derby was one United fans particularly enjoyed, being made into a meme on social media with Fernandes explaining that "at the moment, he did not deserve my respect".
Talisca put the result beyond doubt deep into stoppage time when he slammed home a penalty to all but scupper SIPG's hopes of defending the title and leave Guangzhou with the chance of securing the trophy next week. Victory for Evergrande over Hebei CFFC coupled with a loss for Beijing against Guangzhou R&F would see the title return to southern China with one round of matches to play.
Slutsk is going to face Ynergetyk BDU. Slutsk won five of seven games in this new season and they are leaders of the Belarusian League. The hosts scored 14 goals and conceded nine in seven matches. At home, Slutsk won two of four games and in this match they are favorites. I don't think that Slutsk will not beat Ynergetyk BDU. The visitors lost two of four matches on away and conceded five goals. They scored only three. I think that this match will be close but Slutsk should pick a victory here. After some exciting games Slutsk should not struggle against Ynergetyk
Villarreal and Espanyol will face to face on Sunday afternoon. The home team are run a 5 matches winning streak. They stands in the 9th position and advanced to the next round in the Copa Del Rey. There were more goals in the second half in Villarreal's last 5 games. Espanyol are the last. They win the group in the Europa League, but they cannot copy that performance in the home league. Espanyol are in the big trouble, although they played a draw with Barca (2-2). Espanyol have won just one of their last 5 La Liga away games. I expect a high score game, because every Espanyol match will a life or die situation, moreover the Villarreal scored a lot of goals since December.
Belarus Football Federation spokesman Aleksandr Aleinik said precautions were being taken to allow games to go ahead. We've taken all the measures recommended by the Sports Ministry. All those who are in contact with fans are supplied with gloves," he added. The decision to carry on has helped the Belarus Football Federation secure broadcasting deals with sports networks in 10 countries, including Russia, Israel and India, where fans have been left with nothing to watch.
Both team stands with 6 points after 4th matchday in Apertura, Bolivia. Aurora is very strong in the first half, they scored five times at least one goal in the first 45 minutes. They won both home games in this season, but lost all away clashes, but only 1 goal difference. Rios and Taboado score the most goals, and another 3 player receive one goal. The situation is same the other side. Municipal Vinto have 2-0-2 record, 100% at home and 0-0-2 at away. The home team stands in the 5th, the guest team in the 7th position, the difference only the goal difference. Same quality, but in Bolivia very very important the home field. In my opinion the Aurora will continue the winning streak at home, while the visitors will lost again.
They have given us absolutely everything these boys, I'm so incredibly proud," he added. He was less impressed by the behaviour of some fans during the game and called for it to be stamped out. Football is a game we should all enjoy, spectators and the ones playing," he said. We want rivalry but keep it at the same level.
They looked stronger in midfield but conceding two late goals shows that Mourinho still has lots of work to do. Now he turns his attention to the Champions League where Spurs can clinch qualification if matching Red Star Belgrade's result. Tottenham have a four-point lead over them and a win here will definitely see them in the last sixteen.
Mourinho, who replaced the sacked Pochettino at Spurs in November, has only twice been on the winning side against Klopp in their 10 previous games as opponents. To do it again, Tottenham will have to rise to the challenge without injured captain Harry Kane. CLEAN SHEETS Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp suggested it could still be a lot closer than the 28-point gap between Liverpool and sixth-placed Spurs, who have kept only two clean sheets this season.

Newcastle v Aston Villa (18:00 BST)I've said before that I think Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has done a really good job and his side know how to play his system. That's why they are safe already. Sunday's win over Sheffield United essentially secured the Magpies' survival - they are 13th, 11 points above the bottom three with eight games to go. Villa, meanwhile, are still in deep trouble. They have had a bit of a nightmare in their first two games back, and I think they will have to wait a little bit longer for their first win since January.
Paper Round’s view: Adding teams who would have been promoted would mean more games for at least one more season, and it perhaps might lead to the cancellation of the League Cup to help make room for them. Additionally, it does seem unfair on Liverpool that they may be denied a trophy they had all but won.
I'm happy to say that in Callum's case, he has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear," Lampard told the . I'm aware that not everyone can or will recover from this virus, so I urge the football and sporting community to continue to act responsibly and look out for the health of others.
A fabulous second-half goal from Ross Barkley sealed a 2-0 win for Chelsea over Liverpool on Tuesday evening, the second defeat in a row for the Reds. See alsoChelsea v Liverpool - LIVE FA Cup updates Both teams rotated after Premier League action but strong sides were still named, with Chelsea boss Frank Lampard giving Kepa Arrizabalaga a chance to stake his claim for a starting spot.
This is a mine second bet for today. Really I don't know nothing about this game and about Kenya but I will try to take some money from this game. This two teams are on the middle of the league and Leopards have four points more. Leopards take the win last game and they are so close to the top. The home team lost their last game and they need point's from this game. This two teams are the best draw teams in the league. They have got from 15 games seven draw results and I hope today to be next draw.
With Mallorca losing 5-2 away to Barcelona last weekend, Celta Vigo had a decent opportunity to move out of the relegation zone at the expense of Los Bermellones when they faced second bottom Leganes at Butarque.
Five clean sheets so far this season. At this rate Liverpool could go the season unbeaten. Did you know? Gomez won all three of his aerial duels against Sheffield United. David Luiz: I've seen David Luiz in this mood before. There isn't a defender in the country who can rise to an occasion and put in a stellar performance when he puts his mind to it quite like Luiz. I've also seen him have the most awful games and left matches thinking what on earth was wrong with him today.
I remember Paul Ince came in with a cheap shot, he smashed me out on the line. I was on my back ready to bounce for him and, before I knew it, I had four guys right there getting a grip of him. After that, I think they knew we were down there to do a number on them, because it wasn't just about ability, there was a real grit and determination. It was a special night. When I go to England, it's still mentioned'Even though Scotland ultimately went out 2-1 on aggregate and therefore failed to reach Euro 2000, they left Wembley with pride after putting in a performance that was worthy enough to turn the tie around.
Anything that was coming in, I would just go in for. Alisson Since the start of last season, Alisson has conceded a goal on average every 156 minutes (33 goals conceded in 5155 minutes) - the best ratio among keepers to have played more than one game in the competition during this periodPremier League appearances: 58Clean sheets: 31Lineker: "He has been unbelievably good for Liverpool, has made a massive difference to their team and transformed things for the team.
Time will tell if the industrious Ndidi is the next N'Golo Kante but the 22-year-old already leads Europe's major leagues in tackles and interceptions, giving the defence more room to breathe and prepare for dangerous situations. Talk of a title challenge this season may be premature, with leaders Liverpool eight points clear of the Foxes, but Rodgers' miserly defence has laid the foundations for a top-four finish.
Leicester have little chance of winning the title (like the rest of the league). but finishing in the Champions League is their main aim. They have excellent away form when not playing the very best sides and can get another win on the road here. Newcastle are their usual inconsistent self and their defending has been poor in their past two games. Go for an away win in this match.</p><p>
The American added: "Since my retirement in October, my obsession for football has grown. The desire to win continues to drive me. Howard made 491 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United and Everton between 2003 and 2016. He also won 121 caps for the USA and played at two World Cups. Howard holds the record for the most saves in a World Cup game - 15 against Belgium in 2014. He retired from international football in 2017.
The Championship teams can't see enough of each other of late, nor can they seem a way to separate their quality. Two draws in the space of a week - one in the cup, one in the league - show that they are two clubs that are evenly matched. Cardiff are three places and five points better off than Reading in 12th place in the second tier.

After seeing several one-sided ties in the early rounds of this season's competition, the inclusion of an extra qualification spot for the more elite European sides has also been widely welcomed. Results like Arsenal's 13-2 aggregate defeat of Slavia Praha and Lyon's 16-0 trouncing of Russian side Ryazan-VDV will hopefully be seen less frequently once the new changes are implemented, creating an all-round more competitive tournament.
FULL STORY 12:45 - Solano apologises for breaking curfew Nolberto Solano has apologised for breaking a curfew imposed to stop the spread of coronavirus in his native Peru - which saw him detained by local police on Thursday. The former Premier League midfielder claimed a lunch he attended overran as he planned to get home before the government-imposed 8pm curfew.
When you make the step up you realise straight away that the standard is a lot better and where I am used to scoring 30 or more goals per season, I realise that is not realistic now. We have proved that we are more than capable of competing at this level and we have the players that can do that too so it's just about learning more about each other.

Emmen have only lost one of their last four competitive and non-competitive matches against Groningen and under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the pairs’ last five encounters. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Groningen’s last six matches as well as in each of Emmen’s last five matches, so you can see why we are expecting a low-scoring ninety minutes this Sunday.
Spal has for sure better results at home than in away games for example they played one of their best games this season at home when they hosted Lazio playing really attacking minded and ending up winning the game with 2-1 in the end so I would rate them favorites to win this one but Genoa even drew away at Napoli last round so they will not be that easy to beat while last season this game had just 2 goals scored in it as it ended up in a 1-1 draw in the end and I would take both teams scoring once more.
At the end, this is an internal process that has been initiated and then prosecuted and then judged by this FFP [financial fair play] chamber at Uefa. Man City hoping for 'early resolution'Uefa launched an investigation after German newspaper Der Spiegel published leaked documents in November 2018 alleging City had inflated the value of a sponsorship deal, misleading European football's governing body.
It is sometimes walking off the pitch with another defeat and standing up again. The pressure is always there and you make most of the pressure yourself because you invest so much preparing the team. It's more like a breather when you take points or have done a good job. The reason you are sometimes so disappointed is that you have disappointed your fans. You wanted to give them a fantastic weekend, a fantastic evening and you didn't.
New manager, same problems at Arsenal Arsenal will have to dip into the loan market if they want to make any January signings due to "stretched finances", according to the Telegraph. New manager Mikel Arteta is keen to bring in a box-to-box midfielder and a defender in the winter window following inconsistent performances from the current midfielders so far this season and a long-term injury to Calum Chambers.

Hunter was disconsolate after his mistake led to England failing to qualify for the 1974 World CupHunter had been picked ahead of Moore, whose form had been indifferent and who had also made an error leading to a goal in England's 2-0 defeat in Poland. In the return game at Wembley, England needed to win but were being thwarted by Poland goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski - infamously labelled "a clown" by Clough.
With goals from Harte, Alan Smith and Rio Ferdinand, they produced one of the finest European performances in the club's history. Three-nil to the weakest link," sang the Elland Road faithful. That was probably the best game I've ever been involved in," Harte recalls, "winning 3-0 at home, knowing that we'd played against a really, really good side. Their work wasn't done, though. Deportivo rallied and led 2-0 at the Riazor with 17 minutes still to play.
