Youthful Liverpool overpowered by Villa With Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s senior players in Qatar for the Club World Cup, U23s boss Neil Critchley oversaw the club’s League Cup quarter-final at Villa Park. With an average age of 19 years and 182 days, it was Liverpool’s youngest side of all time - featuring 16-year-old Harvey Elliott.
Other notable squad members: Alex, Zhirkov, Essien, Deco, Joe Cole, Kalou, SturridgeAnother Chelsea manager, another title in his first season and the FA Cup too - but all in very different circumstances. While Mourinho's mantra was to nick a goal and keep it tight at the back (12 of their wins in 2004-05 were by a single goal), Italian boss Carlo Ancelotti's philosophy was based on attacking football and blowing away opponents.
Inter went down from the leader position in the league, and they have light down in the performances at the previous period. However, Juventus has lost in Napoli, and Inter can still make the challenge for the title live. Team from Milano, is not too much into the Cup competition, and the title here is not of the aim for the Inter.
The two losses remain their only defeats in the last 15 matches. They have 10 wins in the last 15 matches. In their last eight matches, they have managed five clean sheets and have failed to score in just one of their last 15 matches. Sevilla have seen three of their last 10 matches end in over 2.

In the last 10 matches, United have kept seven clean sheets and scored two or more goals in eight of the 10. They have back to back clean sheets in the Premier League and facing an opponent not known for scoring a lot of goals will be a plus for United. In the Premier League, Manchester United are undefeated in eight matches, though three of these are draws.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he will stick with goalkeeper David de Gea despite his latest errors in the FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea. De Gea, 29, could not keep out Olivier Giroud's opener and then fumbled Mason Mount's long-range effort into his net a minute into the second half. David] knows he should save that one 100 times out of 100 but that's football for you," said Solskjaer. It is done.
His career may have been cruelly cut short by a knee injury a few years later, but Whiteside's iconic goal at a typically sun-drenched Wembley has lived long in the memory for many. Sanchez on song as the 'Crazy Gang beat the Culture Club' Wimbledon toppling Liverpool in the 1988 final has gone down as one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history. Known as 'The Crazy Gang' because of their overtly physical nature and off-field antics, the Londoners' appearance in the FA Cup final came just 11 years after they joined the Football League.
We've spoke many times about whether VAR is adding or taking away from the game but that's exactly why it came in," former Everton midfielder Leon Osman told BBC Radio 5 Live. Without it, Newcastle would have had that goal taken away from them when he was clearly onside. Great credit must go to Stuart Attwell too for just following Jonjo Shelvey as he ran forward and slotted it into the net as the Sheffield United players stopped.
That being said, there have been a few glimmers of optimism for the Hornets. Despite their lack of victories, Watford have only lost two of their last six outings under Quique Sanchez Flores, and both of those came on home soil.
When Sarpreet Singh stepped off the plane in his native New Zealand in December he was surrounded by an "overwhelming" array of television cameras and media. He had not only arrived back home as one of the country's major sporting stars but also as a role model for South Asians dreaming of breaking down barriers in mainstream professional football. The 21-year-old midfielder's rise had come about after German giants Bayern Munich plucked him from the relative obscurity of playing for Kiwi side Wellington Phoenix and signed him last summer.
Bundesliga 1. Team Bayer Leverkusen will play with team Bayern Munchen. Guests have winstreak with 10 wins. Hosts did 4 wins and defeat at the last 5 games played. My bet will be on hosts with AH +1.25. Bayern Munchen have a great chance to keep their first position in the table. Hosts have a big motivation to win here. They are near CL zone. Last h2h game here was ended with score 3-1 for Leverkusen. A draw will be a good result for both teams in this game. I recommend to try this bet with me for a good odds !
This is not the moment to hand a big club in dire straits to fresh hands. Mauricio Pochettino bei TottenhamGetty Images Instead, there is an out-of-work manager who knows his way around North London. Maybe it’s a total flight of fancy, and maybe he would never consider taking the Arsenal job so soon after leaving Tottenham, but could there be a better option than Mauricio Pochettino? The great fraud of the brief Emery era was his insistence upon taking the job that he wanted to make Arsenal “protagonists”.
Nantes, who are 10th on 37 points, went ahead in the 35th minute when Limbombe beat Steve Mandanda with a diving header from Bamba's cross.

Not even the loss of hugely successful boss Tiago Nunes has been enough to derail Furacu00e3o and they've been fantastic in recent weeks, leaving confidence very high coming into this trip. Indeed, Athletico are unbeaten in 10 matches, winning 7 times in the process and that's a streak they'll be aiming to protect in Fortaleza this weekend.
Our children may feel anxious with uncertainty. It's not normal for any of us and it's going to challenge us all. Look out for each other. Please don't suffer alone, and remember that our great country has come through these enormous challenges before - and, together, we will do so again. We were due to play next week and to represent you all this summer, but now is clearly not the moment for us to take centre stage.
In my opinion Inter Star can collect a quite large win in this match at home vs Ngozi City: the visitors have been the 2nd worst team of the whole League so far, having collected just one point more than Les Lierres which is actually at the bottom of the table. Inter Star has been much more consistent than them instead, being in the middle of the table and having above all conceded 23 goals less than them so far. Ngozi City comes from 2 1-0 wins in a row, however this should be a very hard game because they have been very weak in their away games so far, so InterStar should win today.
Wolves are on their best unbeaten run in the top flight since 1972 after seeing off West Ham with strikes from Leander Dendoncker and Patrick Cutrone at Molineux. Nuno Espirito Santo's side are back up to fifth in the Premier League after the Hammers failed to reproduce the kind of display that helped them to a shock win against Chelsea.
We have a concern that in some parts of the world many clubs are already turning to unilateral decisions in terms of lay-offs and wage cuts on terms that players simply cannot afford," he said. The vast majority of clubs are in serious financial distress and, I don't want to generalise, but we do see cases of irresponsible and cynical reactions.
I've had the good fortune to meet a real man who brings with him a great work culture," Giulini said. Before I took him on, I had a very positive opinion of him. But after seeing him work, my esteem has grown even more. The turning point in Cagliari's season appeared to come on Dec. Lazio 1-0 in a match that could have lifted them within one point of their rivals, who were third at the time.
He wants to be his own man'It takes a lot to frustrate Ndidi, described by those who see him behind the scenes at Leicester as one of the most laid-back players at the club. At Genk, he was nicknamed Teddy Bear because of his calm demeanour and ability to take being the butt of some of the team's jokes in good humour. But comparisons with Kante are one thing he struggles to smile about. Any time someone mentions it to him it does upset him a bit," adds Okeleji.
Fingers crossed, it's actually done me a favour in the long run, to have that downtime and then ramp up the training again. The virus has seen the Olympic Games and the Women's Euros delayed, but Moore is hopeful that the wait will not impact on her selection chances. Everyone's a year older. Then the Euros, people are two years older. That plays a massive part when it comes to selection," she continued.
I think they have pretty good players, on paper it shouldn't be as bad. They make silly mistakes. Can Haaland and Sancho stop PSG?

Morelos was suspended for Wednesday's Europa League win in Braga.

The visitors have lost back to back games, while they’ve tasted defeat in three of their last four matches overall. They kicked off the New Year with a 5-2 hammering at home to Stoke – another side who are in the bottom four. With such a demoralising defeat behind them, there’s little to suggest that Huddersfield can respond here.
Al Salmiya and Al Shabab will face each other in the upcoming match in the Premier League in Kuwait. Al Salmiya this season have the following results: 5W, 2D and 3L.

Rebrand it, rethink it, abandon it, but this cannot go on in its present form. This Liverpool side could be the greatest English football has ever seen Sadio Mane of Liverpool celebrates his opening goal during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Wolverhampton WanderersGetty Images A 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday ensured Liverpool went the whole of 2019 unbeaten at Anfield.
It was the most incredible thing we'd ever seen. As soon as we got that first goal we thought: 'Maybe. Then it started to feel like it was written and you were watching the most amazing piece of theatre. We've seen some brilliant nights at Anfield but that is right at the top for me. Warnock: "It was all about the emotion and the energy. I was on the front row of the Kop and I'd never heard a roar like it when that first goal went in.
For me, home team surely have better chances to win in this match from Turkey Super league and I believe that they will not have any problem to do it. So, Alanyaspor is this season played very good football mostly, at least so far, and team is have pretty good chances to maybe win and this duel. What is very interesting - they are still one of the candidates for the title and they need to win in matches like this one is. Genclerbirligi is poor as a guest and so far, they are have as a guest, score,2-2-6. Home team will win.
Quang Nam is going to face Binh Duong. The hosts of this match won two of the last four matches in this season and scored six goals while conceded only one. They are one of the strongest teams in this league and I think that they will be able to win this match against Binh Duong. The visitors lost two matches of four and conceded 11 goals. They are a much weaker team and I don't think that they will be able to get even one point in this match against Quang Nam. My bet for this match is the hosts to win
In the betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' stands out. The attacking qualities of both have been prominent this term. Odense are averaging two goals per game at home, while the visitors have notched 13 in eight on the road, failing to score just once, scoring two or more on five occasions. Midtjylland have pleasing defensive numbers on the road, but their resilience has been broken quite a bit of late, as they've conceded in two of their last three travelling matches. Odense haven't exactly been watertight at the back, shipping in each of their last two and three of their last four. Keeping this in mind, plumping for a relatively high-scoring game where both teams register on the scoresheet makes plenty of appeal. After all, there's been an average of three goals scored at Nature Energy Park this term, while three or more have gone in in Odense's last four in front of a home crowd.
He takes on the number four seed Laslo Dere in the last four. Schwartzman is ranked 14th in the world and defeated Albert Ramos Vinolas in the quarter finals. He didn't drop a game in the first set but had to go to a tie-break in the second to clinch his win. The Argentinian reached the last sixteen of the recent Australian Open and is looking to reach his first ATP final since losing to Dominic Thiem in three sets in Vienna.
Home side is current Champion of the competition, and main favorite in this league season. They have scored seven goals against new team in the league Dushanbe 83, and are already in the good playing shape. However, good start should not be a real picture, since their rival is not experienced for this league. This opponent is tougher, and CSKA was one of the very few teams that manage to beat them in the recent season.
In Europe, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid players have taken a 70% pay cut while Juventus players and manager Maurizio Sarri have agreed to freeze their pay for four months. Football will, and should, do something'BBC Match of the Day presenter and former England skipper Lineker expects many top-flight players to take pay cuts but also defended them from criticism, calling players "easy targets" and asking for patience.
One of the reasons for Zidane's departure from Real in 2018 was a disagreement with club president Florentino Perez, who wanted Bale to stay at the club, while Zidane wanted him gone. It was the Frenchman who eventually left and, when he was reinstated a year later, one of the conditions for his return was the sale of Bale. When a deal was agreed to take the former Tottenham player to Chinese club Jiangsu Suning last summer, Zidane said Bale's departure would be "best for everyone" before the move collapsed.
On Saturday, Norwich return to Carrow Road, where they have endured a pretty miserable time since their summer promotion. City were beaten in four of their last five Premier League games in East Anglia, and their wonderful 3-2 triumph over defending champions Man City there in September feels like a lifetime ago.
Aulas' Lyon side finished third in 2018-19, Marseille were out of European competition in fifth. Guess which team was in seventh and whose in second when play was halted this term? Monaco's Wissam Ben Yedder is joint top of the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with Kylian MbappeAulas' suggestion is not one of three possible scenarios set out by an LFP working group, though. They are:base the final standings on a points-per-game averagefinalise the table on the last full round of games played - 27 in the case of Ligue 1take the standings as they were after 19 matches, the halfway point of the seasonThe solution is now likely to be decided by a general assembly vote of France's professional clubs.
I miss being on grass and the one-on-one with players but the biggest priority at the minute is that they keep safe and well. We may have a smallish window before an intense period of games'McKenna, who is a former Northern Ireland Under-21 international from Fermanagh, joined Tottenham as a teenager but was forced to retire from playing when he was 23, because of a persistent hip injury. He took coaching badges at Tottenham and was put in charge of their Under-18 side in 2015 before joining Manchester United the following year.
Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
It's not going to be a pretty situation for many of the players, it's not a good situation for the fans. Outside the wealthier leagues the impact could be "catastrophic" as clubs could be without any income for six months. If this leads to mass insolvencies then, of course, not just players but thousands of other people working around the professional football industry and sports industries will lose their jobs," he added.
Lewandowski had a goal disallowed shortly before halftime after a quick VAR review ruled that Corentin Tolisso handled the ball when he teed up the Poland striker. A vociferous band of around 2,000 visiting Bayern supporters lit some two dozen flares early in the second half, seemingly igniting Lewandowski’s onslaught against a hapless Red Star who were nonetheless roared on by their own faithful.
I said before the home game, how impressed I am (with Leicester)," Guardiola said. They have incredible organisation, good scouting, they know what they have to do.

It's good for English football to have managers like this," adding that Leicester striker Jamie Vardy -- who has 17 league goals this season -- was "one of the best" he had ever seen.
Pk 35 is going to face Viikingit. The hosts of this match lost the previous match 1:2 against Lahden on away but at home, they usually play so well. The hosts dropped from the higher league but at home, they were even good. Pk 35 is going to win this match and I don't give a chance for Viikingit to pick up a point. The visitors lost most of the games on away and even against a much weaker team than PK 35. I think the hosts should score here at least 3 goals against Viikingit and cover this handicap from my bet
