We work with both agents and players should there be any serious interest in them,” Olsen told Eurosport Norway.

They have confirmed they will contest the European governing body's decision. I repeat, it's not finished," Guardiola told BBC Sport. It's not over, we appeal and see what happens. Guardiola confirmed after Wednesday's Premier League victory against West Ham that he would remain at the club regardless of the outcome of the appeal and that the "truth will prevail". The 49-year-old Spaniard joined City in 2016 after winning seven trophies in three years at Bayern Munich and to date has captured successive Premier League titles, plus the FA Cup and the League Cup twice, with the chance to complete a hat-trick in next month's final against Aston Villa.
Midfielders - Willian (Chelsea), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Declan Rice (West Ham), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Willian: He was outstanding against West Ham in midweek and the architect of Watford's downfall at Stamford Bridge. Mason Mount and Ross Barkley appear to be the main beneficiaries of Willian's brilliance in midfield at the moment. The Brazilian is giving Chelsea what Eden Hazard gave them last season, and not just from the penalty spot either.

Mikel Arteta had his most satisfying night as Arsenal manager when Premier League champions Liverpool were beaten at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday - but it also outlined the scale of the task he faces.

It makes me very proud to be associated with it. It's great, but I know that Liverpool have a lot of good players and I have to improve. I still have a lot to learn to get to that level and play there. Do Liverpool really need Werner? With that statement, Werner hit the nail on the head. Despite the great quality that he undoubtedly has, the question really arises whether Liverpool need him at all.

But under Sarri's tenure in the 2018/19 season he only made two Premier League appearances and was effectively frozen out by the Italian.

We went to the 2018 World Cup, got to the semi-finals, so I missed pre-season, which I think was massive looking back now," Cahill told Jamie Redknapp in quotes cited by the Daily Mail.

What he’s done in Europe will not be repeated.

But you know the love they have for the competition, it’s impossible to compete with them.
Spain midfielder Saul Niguez struck the only goal of the game in the fourth minute by bundling into the net from close range following a corner, their traditional weapon of choice in recent years. Liverpool, who have won 25 of 26 Premier League games this season and are on course for a record-smashing title win, missed a series of chances to equalise in the second half, with Mohamed Salah and captain Jordan Henderson coming closest to scoring.
Bristol City will host Millwall for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have the motivation to fighting for all three points. Bristol City are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 4th place with 35 points. In previous game Bristol City is won 1-2 against strong Fulham. Also, we have Millwall who's is very average team in this season. True, the visitors are undefeated in their last matches. However, Millwall is better team at home. In any case, Bristol City will try to advantage on their pitch. Hosts have an effective attack. They will try to make a positive result.
Brighton's reaction was almost immediate, however, and within eight minutes the game was turned on its head: Neal Maupay equalised with his second goal in three days and Davy Propper's bullet header gave the hosts a surprising lead.

FC Minsk will host Torpedo BelAZ for this fixture of the league. I believe, both teams are very average teams in this league. True, Torpedo BelAZ showed a great result at the start of the new season. However, they have fallen in their shape in the last matches. The visitors have less potential in attack. I think, this will not be an easy task. On the other hand Minsk have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts will try to dominate on the home field. Of course, they will have to invest to great effort in this game. In previous game Minsk is won 1-3 against Slavia Mozyr. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in Cheltenham’s favour.

Cheltenham might not score many on the road but they don’t concede many either, which is why we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0.

Fuenlabrada will play against La Palmas in the Spanish segunda division today. It is a hard game for both of them. I do not consider any team favorite because they are even teams. Odds are almost the same. I do not consider that the visitor has favoritism and that they are a team with good defense. So I expect possible outcome 1- 1 or 0-0. I do not think they will vary too much for the weekend. Both teams will try to settle for at least a point here in this match. My prediction is draw here in this match.
