Leeds have won seven and lost once at home this term, giving them one of the best records across the division. They are the side with the second-best defensive record in the Championship, with their aggressive pressing style making them a tough team to breakthrough. Leeds come into this game with a clean sheet in 50% of their home games so far.
Whether he plays or not could make the difference whether City win or not. I am expecting midfield to be a key battle in the outcome, and it would usually be an area where they are on top. But with Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic fit, and Bruno Fernandes providing the spark, I have a feeling United will be competitive in there, and this should be a very close game. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Tom's prediction: I am backing United.
United could have been out of sight, twice having goals ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee and watching David McGoldrick hit the side-netting after rounding Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan. Brighton's best move of the match resulted in Neal Maupay tapping in from close range, but Martin Montoya was offside earlier in the move. The Blades go fifth for now, with Tottenham and Manchester United both still to play.
The visitors have been rooted in the bottom three for most of the season, having won only five times in 23 clashes. They have failed to win 75% of their home games so far this season, while they head into the Boxing Day clash having given their supporters a pretty rotten Christmas after a terrible string of results. Stoke have won only once in their last six Championship matches (W1 D1 L4), losing last time out, despite taking the lead vs Middlesbrough.

The Seagulls were thrashed 5-0 by Bournemouth in this fixture last season and lost 2-0 away. Bournemouth have lost three of their last four away league games.
Which is pretty terrifying but also perhaps a sign that we shouldn’t put too much pressure on him by hastily comparing him to previous Manchester United greats. So presumably when it was put to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that comparisons could be made between Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo, he straight-batted the question and insisted that these sort of things are very premature and let’s not be too hasty, right? "It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yes.

Paolo Sousa's Bordeaux generally had a fantastic end to 2019 but rather disappointingly stalled at the last hurdle, losing each of their final four matches.

MANCHESTER, England, April 1 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's decision to impose a 20% wage reduction on 550 non-playing staff due to the impact of the coronavirus has prompted increased pressure on Premier League players to take a pay cut or a deferral of wages.

Video - Spanish giants chase new Arsenal captain Aubameyang - Euro Papers01:19 United suffer Haaland blow The Sunday Mirror reports that Erling Braut Haaland may be the number one transfer target for Manchester United, but he may go elsewhere. The 19-year-old Norwegian international is at RB Salzburg and had been expected to leave for around £75 million, but he could instead join RB Leipzig for around a third of that due to the commercial tie-up that the two sides have.
From my point of view and the people who watch football, the decision is not right. Whoever was checking it got it wrong. I saw nothing wrong with it at all. It was the first taste of VAR controversy for Moyes, who has been away from the game since parting company with West Ham at the end of the 2017-18 season, having steered them away from relegation.
Five of the last six meetings between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals and four of Maritimo’s and three of Santa Clara’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals, so you can start to see why we’re expecting a low-scoring ninety minutes this weekend.

Since then, the 60-year-old Italian's travels have taken him to Paris St-Germain, Real Madrid - where he won the Champions League for the third time in 2014 - and Napoli, who sacked him last week.

This has been the burning question since Ancelotti's arrival at Everton was first suggested, and has led to an outbreak of genuine anger among many fans who feel those questioning the appointment were telling the club to know their place.
Belgian league delay ratifying decision Belgium's professional soccer league has delayed by more than a week the planned ratification of its decision to cancel the rest of the season, it announced on Thursday.

The round of 16 in the Copa del Rey is here and among the matches lined up, Real Sociedad will be hosting Espanyol in one of the matches pitting La Liga sides.
Let’s start with the calibre of saves, and when you look through the highlight reels some of these are very much in the “right out of the top-drawer” area. How about the staggering double save in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal for starters? Guaita made a brilliant low stop to tip Nicolas Pepe’s effort onto the post before quickly getting up to smother the follow-up from Alexandre Lacazette.
Atromitos will host Lamia for this fixture of the league. Hosts are favorites in this game. They will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, Atromitos is very average team in this league. Also, the hosts have highly variable results. In last game Atromitos is won 1-2 against AEL Larissa. Also, we have Lamia who's is also average team in this season. In my opinion, the visitors are in better shape. They have 3 victories in their last 5 matches. True, in last game Lamia lost 2-0 against ambitious Panathinaikos (away) I think, the visitors have the potential to fight for all the points. Of course, this will not be an easy task.
The home team has reported that six of their players won’t be able to participate in the upcoming clash, and among them the most important ones are their top scorer Domenico Berardi, starting centre-back Gian Marco Ferrari and starting left-back Rogério. Without Berardi on the field, you should keep an eye on Francesco Caputo, another great forward in their squad, who netted a brace in their most recent win over Bologna, and in total scored 5 goals so far.
Two rivals, that are right below the top teams in the league, and better from NTUS, MingChan and Lions. However, away side had debut in the recent season, and they should got better in the second one at the top rank of the competition in Taiwan.
BATE are the in-form side topping the Belarus Premier League and winning the national cup at the weekend. They just keep on winning and can be confidently backed to beat Isloch Minsk. The away side are appalling on their travels and have suffered three league defeats scoring just once. A bet on the home side winning and leading at both half and full time is the suggested wager to make.
Both teams scored in 71% of Fortuna Sittard’s home games and 57% of Groningen’s away games this season and 71% of the host’s home games and the visitors’ away games have produced over 1.5 goals, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw. Fortuna Sittard have only kept clean sheets in 29% of their home games this season and the same can be said about Groningen in their away games, so we’re not expecting either side to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
The Norwegian is hoping to get at least one signing "over the line" in the January transfer window following injuries to Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay. I'm not going to change six or nine or 10 months into the job and starting believing in a different way of doing things," Solskjaer added.

Stal Mielec is currently playing quite well. The home team took 45 points with the 3rd place in the rankings. They won 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 appearances. In total, they won 14 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from the beginning of the season so far. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Stal Mielec is in a better shape than Belchatow recently. Specifically, Stal Mielec won the last 7/8 matches on the away field, won the last 5/8 matches, won the last 7/8 matches on the away field and won the last 3/5 matches. And Belchatow has lost the last 3/5 matches, the last 6/10 matches at home, not winning the last 5/7 matches, not winning the last 7/9 matches at home. So Stal Mielec is quite likely to enjoy the full joy before Belchatow in this match.
Real Madrid supporters have booed all of the very best players and Bale put in a good display when he came on. He just needs to focus on working hard on the pitch," added the French coach. It's not about whether I understand the boos or not, we need our fans on our side and so does Gareth, just like every other player.
The academy has been a major part of that, it's something we have worked extremely hard at," said Tagg. The temptation when we have had some good paydays and windfalls is to plough it straight back in immediately and we haven't done that. We've tried to be circumspect with the amounts that we put back in and the amounts that we hold back. No-one envisioned this. Again it will hurt us long term because how will you replace it? It is just reserves that are used up.
We’re going to give him the time he needs. United are looking to end their great rivals 38-game unbeaten league run and scupper their chances of becoming just the third team in English top-flight history to go a full league season without losing. Victory for Liverpool would see them open up a 16-point gap on champions Manchester City with a game in hand.
The resolution - which was backed by 81% of the 42 clubs - gave the SPFL board the power to "call" the top flight if it deemed the season could not be completed.

Partick Thistle and Stranraer have ruled out legal action, but Rangers say they "continue to examine all legal options available".

The Hornets, who dropped into the bottom three for the first time since 28 February in midweek, started the day level on points with 17th spot knowing a positive result could keep them up. But they were 3-0 down after 33 minutes and, despite pulling back two goals, finish a terrible campaign 19th in the table following a 20th defeat. Arsenal scored with their first three attempts on target, Aubameyang getting the first with a penalty after Craig Dawson's clumsy foul on Alexandre Lacazette inside the opening minute.
Watford were averaging 0.5 goals per game before Pearson joined the club, showing just how far they’ve come in a short space of time and they’ve also been able to improve defensively, conceding just two goals in their past four, compared to the 30 in 17 prior to their good run of form. They will be much more confident of avoiding the embarrassment of a cup defeat to a team in League One and will be confident of ending the weekend in the pot for the fourth round.
It's not been a vintage campaign for Hartlepool, who're not in with a chance of returning to the Football League this time around and who come into this match off the back of tasting defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
League form has been inconsistent with two wins, two draws and two defeats. Their league games have been low-scoring ones with five scored and three conceded. Home form isn't going well with just one point from three home games and a single goal. They didn't score that solitary goal, it was scored by one of Slutsk's players when beating Shakhtyor 2-1.
The visitors come into this clash with shaky Eredivisie form, but the last couple of months have seen them face some difficult clashes They’ve failed to beat any of the top six, while they’re unbeaten against sides from seventh and below. The visitors have a perfect record against the bottom five sides in the league, scoring at least three goals in each.
The club’s board have asked Josep Bartomeu to call elections immediately, following pressure on him as the club enters a crisis period. He has put off any decision until Thursday, with the next elections scheduled to take place next year. Paper Round’s view: Bartomeu could lose Lionel Messi on a free transfer this season if the trouble continues, something the rest of the board are surely concerned about.
