If City can claim the Champions League next month, it's a no-brainer. Matt Upson: Sadio Mane (2)For his consistency, his energy and his relentlessness, Mane gets my vote. He is constantly applying pressure to his opponent and he has produced pieces of real quality too. Out of possession, he is brilliant and he embodies Liverpool's whole ethos with his pressing, and then he is so deadly in front of goal too.

Two teams that are very similar in terms of quality and experience and of course in terms of ambitions. Both teams are going to have a very tough relegation battle until the end of the season for sure and with performances like this they are going to have a tough time. Cosenza are so far at the 18th place with 30 pts and overall of 7 - 9 - 14 - 33 - 36 while as a hosts they are 3 - 4 - 7 - 12 - 16, on the other hand Trapani are at the 19th place with 28 pts and overall of 6 - 11 - 13 - 34 - 52
A large win is expected for BATE here at home vs Neman Grodno: after a very difficult start in this season, with 2 losses in the first 2 matches of this League, BATE has now found a very good shape, coming from 3 wins and a draw in the last 4 official games and having even conceded no goal in all of those matches. Neman has lost all of the last 7 matches played here and has even scored no goal in 4 out of the last 5, so scoring twice should be enough for the home team to win by more than a goal.
This is a match from elite league in Australia where I will bet on goals and that is very real for me, if we just see how this teams are played in last few weeks. So, Brisbane is in last round lost 1-2 and before that match, team is won even 4-3, while on the other side, Central Coast Mariners is probably better team, if we see players, and this team is in last three matches played 1-0, 1-3 and 1-3. Yes, over 3 is ok for me and I really see here at least three goals, maybe even more than that.
We don't want to stretch luck too much, but the game at Aston Villa, for example, I didn't think 100% that we would score but I was sure we would get moments if we stayed as composed as we were, as clear and as creative, as direct as we were in the second half, then we would have chances and we have to use them, obviously. That's what the boys did in very decisive moments, that's why we won the game, that's why we've now scored twice late, against Tottenham late, Manchester United late and all of these things.
The newly-identified virus is believed to have originated in a seafood market in the central city of Wuhan, which was the original host of next month's round-robin Olympic qualifying matches. Last week, the Feb. Nanjing , before China's decision to withdraw. FFA Chairman Chris Nikou said he was pleased that Australia could step in to host the six matches.
Montrose is in the mid of the league, but more to the good schedule, and lack of the well play from some other teams that should be favorites in the competition. They have their quality, and this is not an easy rival for other, but visitors which is among the promotion teams from the start of the season, should not be underdog in this ground.
It is certainly the season of goodwill in Spain - a time for coming together and putting 8-0 thrashings aside. Spanish fourth division side Becerril endured a torrid evening against Real Sociedad, who sit sixth in La Liga, in the Copa del Rey on Thursday. However, it was not a complete nightmare for Becerril - a northern Spanish village with just 754 inhabitants - as the whole population received an invitation to a future match from Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay.
Both teams scored in 50% of Wycombe’s home games as well as in 70% of Burton’s away games, and the hosts haven’t failed to score at home this season while the visitors have only failed to score in 20% of their away games, so we can expect to see both keepers get beaten this weekend. Burton Albion have obtained as many one-goal margin wins as wins with a margin of two goals or more (3 wins for each), while a majority of Wycombe’s wins this season have been secured via a one-goal margin (7 wins).
Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is set to extend his contract, keeping him at the club until 2021. The Frenchman, 33, looked like he would leave in January after making five Premier League appearances and entering the last six months of his contract. He was linked with a move to Inter Milan as Chelsea sought a replacement. But after an injury to fellow striker Tammy Abraham in January, Giroud impressed on his return to the side, scoring twice in four league games.
The opener came, true to form, from a cross, as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain clipped a centre onto the head Wijnaldum who headed down into the ground and in to send Anfield into delirium. Costa was replaced early in the second half by Llorente, much to the former Chelsea striker’s frustration, kicking the medical bag as he made his way to the bench.
Huesca will host Ponferradina for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts have a great chance to get all three points. Huesca are more ambitious team in this league. They are currently on the 4th place with 26 points. True, in last game Huesca lost 3-2 against Fuenlabrada (away). In any case, Huesca is really better team at home. I expect, they to dominate from the start match. Also, we have Ponferradina who's is very average team in this season. True, the guests are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Perhaps, they will try to remain unbeaten. However, this will not be an easy task. My pick - Huesca to win.
So, who has benefited most from Mourinho's United exit? And what should Spurs fans be wary of if they look back at the Portuguese's time at Old Trafford?Mourinho has stressed repeatedly nothing happening at Spurs at the moment is to do with him. Few think he really means that. In any case, the noise that accompanies Mourinho assures he is centre of attention, even when it is not intended. Praising a ball boy for helping Tottenham win their Champions League match against Olympiakos on 26 November, then inviting the lad into the home dressing room for Saturday's victory against Bournemouth, became about Mourinho.
Ostersunds FK is playing in a bad shape right now. The home team has not yet achieved a score with the start of a defeat. The last 10 matches, they brought 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. They are temporarily ranked 14th on the chart. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Ancelotti comes in when the club is at the top and then he takes them to the next level. So this is completely the opposite of that. I'm a big fan of him but this will be his toughest job yet. Yes, Everton will get a bounce, but I'm not sure about this appointment at all. Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer on BBC Radio 5 Live: "Isn't it amazing that some people are asking questions about Ancelotti's record? I think it's a great coup for Everton to have him.

If football is moving into the entertainment business, then the paying customers at Whaddon Road are certainly getting their moneys worth this season as matches there have finished with an impressive average of 3.17 goals per game.

Mainz suffered a defeat to Augsburg, which gave an end to their 2 consecutive wins in the Bundesliga. Since the beginning of the season, Mainz have lost in 9 matches and are ranked 13th in the table.

Back the home team to win both halves.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Bobby's prediction: Using my model, I would never have predicted West Ham's win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday - absolutely no chance.

For me, it's one big dream to come to this big club. This is a fantastic challenge that I have accepted and I have to win my challenge. Fernandes last started a league game on 30 October having fallen out of favour at Benfica. He joins Spurs at a time where midfielders Moussa Sissoko and Tanguy Ndombele are injured, while Christian Eriksen is linked with a move away from the club. All young players want to work with Jose Mourinho because he's one of the best - all of us as players want to stay near the best, so it's fantastic to work with him," added Fernandes.
He felt very responsible. We'll try to be right behind him, he's been phenomenal all season. His reaction - to face the media and everything - was very mature from him. After a series of checks, Pianese announce that a fourth player is infected by Covid-19. He too is in solitary confinement at home and is under observation by the relevant authorities," the Serie C club said in a statement.
Ultimately, this is a real David vs Goliath cup tie in every sense and it's almost impossible to picture Porto not winning. Nonetheless, Varzim are an aggressive outfit, managed to score twice in their last trip to face the hosts in 2018 and we do expect them to at least land a glove on the hosts.

These teams have a good recent history of seeing 4 or 5 goals scored against each other in their matches and this could be another high scoring match. Both teams have scored a few times as well which only increases the chances for another high scoring match up between the 2 teams. This match might open up with the home team recently being in bad form and losing a lot of matches, they have actually made their self much more easier to score against in recent matches where other teams are now starting to take advantage of them in their matches
Sunday's final day fixtures in fullHow are final positions determined?If teams finish on the same points then goal difference comes into play. Aston Villa's victory over the Gunners took them to -26, a single goal better than Watford and Bournemouth's -27. If they still cannot be separated then goals scored comes into the equation, with Villa netting 40, Bournemouth 37 and Watford 34. If teams still remain tied then a new addition from this season sees the use of a head-to-head record between two clubs, with the team collecting the most points finishing higher up the table.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has called Edinson Cavani "a great player" after being linked with the Uruguay striker. The Blues can make signings this month after their transfer ban was reduced. Cavani, 32, is out of contract in the summer and has asked to leave French side Paris St-Germain after "an approach" from Atletico Madrid. He's a great player; I played against him and always loved his mentality and attitude, and his scoring record speaks for itself," said Lampard.
The sides have identical records going into this Sunday's crucial six-pointer at Butarque, with two wins, four draws and 11 defeats posted in 17 outings. Only goal difference separates the pair at the foot of the table, with Lega marginally better off by a four goal difference.
St Johnstone come into this tie in relatively good form and they've been able to pick up some important results along the way, but they're still slack in defence and have conceded at least once in seven of their nine home games, whilst Ross County has let in 16 goals in their last five away days, which is why we're backing both teams to score for this fixture. Moreover, we're going to back a final score of 1-1, as the hosts' last two home games ended as draws and two of the visitors' last four away fixtures have also ended as a stalemate.

In the Chile primera division Curico Unido host Union la Calera and theoretical favorite of the game. This team is in good form, and have a long series of games without defeat and sitting in 3rd place in the table. Curico plays very well in their hole ground. Team Union la Calera is also in high form and is in 2nd place in the table. Long series without defeat. Away form is not so good. Interesting game, both teams are in top shape, opinion about the winner, I think the game will end in a win for the host team
