The Stockport-born lifelong City fan would probably play for the club if it was the era when they were in the third tier of English football, such is his devotion to the cause. The threat of a couple of seasons out of Europe is not going to disturb him too much. Foden looks set to play a big part in City's title challenge next seasonThere has been much debate about Guardiola's handling of the 20-year-old since he made his debut in November 2017.
Norwich have conceded two or more in five of their last seven away league games. Chelsea have scored two or more in six of the last seven home league games. Norwich have one win in their 17 away league matches. Norwich have lost each of their last eight matches. Chelsea have four straight wins at home, with three clean sheets.
It was an unbelievable day. I have to say fair play to Aston Villa, they gave us a really good game. When I play, every minute counts, so I try and do my best and I’m very proud of my performance today. You look at players like Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva, who are great, so when I get into the team I have to make the most of it.
Harry Kane, what a snake! Top snake! Don't be fooled by this Kane spent two hours at Pochettino's house last week. VAR is tosh episode 9999999 When a piece of technology is so toilet it is making liberal* snowflake* Gary Lineker turn the twitterspere blue with language befitting of some gammon** that the Warm-Up can't and won't repeat, then well, said technology is utter tosh.
I think West Ham could upset the leaders. The Hammers are just outside of the relegation zone and this is very important match. There are no space for another defeat. I think West Ham play better since David Moyes took the team. However, the main reason for my pick is Liverpool. Manager Jurgen Klopp will be missing the key player Sadio Mane. The Senegal winger suffered a muscle injury against the Wolves. His absence is a huge handicap for the guests. Salah are out of form at the moment. I think the good results of Liverpool are mainly because of Mane. And another reason for my pick is the poor result in the FA Cup. As you probably know, Liverpool failed to beat Shrewsbury on Sunday. The key players were benched, but anyway. Poor result is a poor result.
The Greek Cup semi-final matches will take place today. The first match of the Greek Cup between these teams ended with the victory of the AEK, so I hope that the AEK has the potential to keep it level because a draw would be enough for them. The home team has 3 losses in the last 5 games, while the guests are undefeated. However, during the last 4 direct meetings, the home team has failed to win and I think they will be left without win for 5th time. I think the guests are a better team and I expect them to celebrate at the end. They won the first leg with 2-1. They will try protect this result.
In Spain, Granada and Villarreal are expected to meet each other in a La liga competition which will be held at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium, Granada city. In the table, Villarreal takes position 7 with 44 points after playing 29 matches while Granada takes position 9 with 42 points after playing 29 matches. There is a point difference of 2 points.
That 5-3 win on Sunday was something of an anomaly though. While they have been decent at home, winning six of their nine league matches at Sincil Bank, this success has largely been built on maintaining a tight back line. Lincoln City have kept six clean sheets on home soil, with the majority of their 10 goals conceded coming from a quite absurd 6-0 drubbing against Oxford United in September.
The most hotly-contested positions were right back, with Branislav Ivanovic (57%) edging out Cesar Azpilicueta (41%), and the final midfield slot, with Claude Makelele's 48% of selections just seeing off Michael Essien's 36%. The only forward player who really got near to ousting one of Eden Hazard, Drogba or Arjen Robben was Diego Costa, who got selected in 20% of teams. Aguero, Tevez and Sterling in a three-pronged attack? Here is the team you selected from Man City's Premier League winnersSergio Aguero, perhaps unsurprisingly, was Manchester City's most-selected player, being picked in 99% of team selections.

After sitting the last three league matches out, Preuß returned to the starting line-up and secured a first league clean sheet of the season for Vicky Jepson's side with another late block to deny Megan Wynne. Liverpool now sit ahead of City on goal difference, and if they continue to keep it tight at the back, they will be in good shape to survive the drop come the end of the season.
They have seven losses in the last 10 matches and have also failed to score in seven while keeping just two clean sheets. The home side will hope for a better performance in attack too, as they have scored in just two of their last eight matches. In 18 home league matches this season, Alaves have managed seven wins and seven clean sheets but have won just one of their last five at home and in the last 10 home league games, they have kept just two clean sheets.
Former Sweden and Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has rejoined AC Milan on a six-month deal, with the option for another season. The 38-year-old was a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season. The Serie A side said Ibrahimovic "will be in Milan on 2 January, 2020 to take his medical" and join his team-mates. I'm coming back to a club I hugely respect and to the city of Milan I love," Ibrahimovic said.
Botafogo and Corinthians face each other on this Serie A from Brazil clash. Both teams have clear objectives for this season. The hosts are fighting for maintenance and also for a spot in the Copa Sudamericana. Corinthians is fighting for a spot in the Copa Libertadores. This will be a tough game. Corinthians is obviously stronger as Botafogo is on a crisis for a couple of seasons now. I still believe it will be a tough game and can probably end in draw as both teams lack offensive behavior. The odd as 2.88 has some value and I'm going with it.
Reaction to Liverpool's defeat Sarr the star for superb Watford Media playback is not supported on this device Beating Liverpool could kick-start our season - Pearson Many had arrived at Vicarage Road expecting to see Liverpool make history by winning in the league for the 19th game in a row. Indeed, such was the level of expectation that press accreditation for the game had been oversubscribed, with hundreds of media outlets keen to cover a moment in English football history.
The team is known for its togetherness. But the recent incident (between Raheem Sterling and Joe Gomez) was the first challenge for you as regards that unity so do you have any regrets about how it was handled? Is the England culture back on track?For sure, it's not the only challenge we have had to our culture over three years. Absolutely it is done. From the group of players and internally, it was done by Tuesday morning.
And yet he might wish he had left whatever the result of that match, given how this season has unfolded. It is not much of a stretch to suggest that their form during this calendar year has been that of relegation battlers. In fact, no Premier League side has lost more matches in all competitions than Pochettino's side (18). With 25 points from their last 24 games, Tottenham have been in relegation-battling form for the last nine months.
James finds Martial just inside it on the right, and he slightly scuffs a low shot into the net off Ederson's near post 38’ WHAT A CHANCE! Sterling leaves Wan-Bissaka down the right. His cross is cleared by Shaw, but City work it to De Bruyne, who whips a perfect cross in to Jesus. He's only six yards out, but the Brazilian forward glances it wide of goal.
Of the past six major domestic trophies on offer - Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup - City have claimed five of them, only failing to win the 2018 FA Cup. However, while they will end the decade as champions, they will not end it on top of the table, with leaders Liverpool 14 points clear of them - and 10 above second-placed Leicester City - with two games to play. The main rivals to City's 2010s success are Chelsea, who won the double in the first year of the decade and added five more trophies over the next nine.
And that Leicester goal. In August 2008, Vincent Kompany joined a Manchester City side who had finished ninth in the Premier League the previous season. The Belgian departed 11 years later with four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups to his name. Among his many highlights was a decisive 25-yard thunderbolt against Leicester in his and City's penultimate league game last season, which helped Pep Guardiola's side to become the first side since 2009 to successfully defend their league title.
Paper Round’s view: There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all solution to this. If some players are worried about their own financial futures then it doesn't seem right they should have to contribute as much as some of the highest earners in the league. Overseas players want support for their countries The idea of building up a fund to help the NHS has been hampered by the desires of some overseas Premier League players to help health services in their home countries.
Tomori is excellent in possession and has the speed to track opposition forwards. The Blues academy graduate has vied for a starting berth with more experienced internationals Antonio Rudiger, Kurt Zouma and Andreas Christensen, but the endeavours of this season will hold him in good stead. Did you know? Tomori is averaging 80 passes per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season, the most of any player aged 22 or younger.
Media playback is not supported on this device Manager Alex Ferguson and his team prepare for World Cup 1986 without Kenny Dalglish Speedie would be excluded from Ferguson's squad for the finals, but it was the absence of another name that caused controversy. Alan Hansen had won the English double with Liverpool but failed to make the final 22, with the then-Aberdeen manager preferring Pittodrie partnership Willie Miller and Alex McLeish.
well in this one it is much easier to predict who can be the winner cause jeonbuk motors are much better team and it is not a surprise that even on the road they are almost huge favorites to win and they started season with a victory over Suwon at home with 1-0 but today I expect from them to score at least two goals and that could be enough for them to win with two difference cause Busan already listed 2-0 in first round and I think their offense is once again going to fail to score a goal
City did make some important away victories with good performing in the recent period, and team is in good winning run now. With few points, Bristol could be close in the playoff teams and they should make it here, as light better team in the match.
Plenty has been written about Liverpool, so let’s devote a medium-sized paragraph to pay tribute to the side that finally managed to stop them. The result pulled Watford out of the relegation zone - which Gary Neville clearly felt so happy about, he had to crack open the champagne. Well done Watford! Zeroes: The Bundesliga There were incredible scenes in German football this weekend as *two* matches were disrupted due to insults aimed at Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hopp.
Only a handful of the 24 teams made money last year and even commissioner Don Garber concedes the league will remain a money pit until a new media rights deal is negotiated sometime before the current one expires at the end of 2022. I don't think any owner wants to run a business that is not making money," Garber told Reuters.

Melbourne Victory do still have quality within the squad and they have often been on the cusp of a result this season. We think that trend could continue this weekend and we’re predicted a 1-1 draw between the sides, a result that is likely to leave both sides a little disappointed.

The visitors are at the moment the worst on the road team in the Premier league that's why I believe on home victory here. With a very poor record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 lost game, I don't think they will get something good against Burnley at home in front of their home fans.

Mick McCarthy says being denied the chance to potentially lead the Republic of Ireland to a European Championship finals is "hugely disappointing" but he "fully understands" the decision. McCarthy was replaced by Stephen Kenny with immediate effect on Saturday following the postponement of the Republic's Euro play-off with Slovakia. Kenny had been due to succeed McCarthy in August, but Uefa's decision to push Euro 2020 to 2021 led the FAI into bringing forward their Under-21 boss's promotion to manage the senior team.
For what reason should we not start it? Is a state of emergency declared in our country?" he said. There is no critical situation. So we decided that we are starting the championship in a timely manner. Today. He added there was no point in barring the public, as many other leagues did before they eventually suspended games altogether.
Marcus Rashford had put United 2-1 in front from the penalty spot and Anthony Martial then increased the advantage with a brilliant curling effort into the top corner just before the break. In an action-packed game, Joshua King pulled one back for Bournemouth with a penalty four minutes after the interval, but Eddie Howe's men crumbled to an eighth successive away defeat after Arnaut Danjuma had what would have been an equaliser disallowed for offside.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: “The smooth way Reece has fitted into the team so quickly despite missing the start of the season has been clear for everyone to see, and the fact another exciting young player is part of the future of the club is a result of great work by our academy, our loans department, our new coaching staff and of course the player himself.
Both sides had chances to force victory with Ben Davies denied when his 30-yard drive was brilliantly turned on to the bar by Arsenal keeper Emiliano Martinez in the first half while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also struck the frame of the goal after the break. Arsenal had the greater share of possession but it was Spurs who struck decisively nine minutes from time when Alderweireld glanced in Son's corner, securing a win that leaves them in eighth place, two points ahead of the Gunners.
