The gap is what it is," Guardiola said. After 28 fixtures, the gap is this. No doubts about this. They lost one game, they draw another one, it's because they deserve to be there. The league is deserved and it's done. In other competitions we have won two this season (including the Community Shield).
Before kick-off, only bottom side Watford, with eight, had scored fewer than Palace's 11. But the visitors, who had not won since 5 October, were aided by their hosts' mistakes and took their chances with aplomb. Talisman Zaha is crucial to Palace's hopes and the forward appears to have put his quiet start to the season behind him.
Juventus conceded two fast goals in the first match, but they were not a weaker rival in that game. They had their chances in the second part of the game, but failed to score at least one in that half, in order to get better result for this one.

At Real, I would do some extra work with Gareth Bale, especially when we moved him to the right-hand side. He needed to work on that right foot. He was getting into positions where he needed to be able to lift the ball to the back post or cut the ball back with his right foot and it needed some development. And working with a great coach. Clement was given his breakthrough at Chelsea by AncelottiAncelotti, now Everton's manager, worked with Clement over seven and a half years in four countries.
You see the level of detail and performance that is needed to be the best in the world in any sport. I loved watching both teams play, and as an Englishman I was really proud of what they did and it was heart-warming to see. How big an advantage will it be to play three group games at Wembley?Ten or 12 teams will get the opportunity to play group matches at home, so a lot of teams will benefit from that.
The Foxes are actually two points better off now than at this stage of their remarkable 2015-16 title win, but the imperious form of Jurgen Klopp's side makes a repeat triumph even more improbable. However, this victory, four days after the win at West Ham, keeps the Foxes at least notionally in the hunt, restores the sense of supreme confidence that existed prior to the trip to the Etihad and sets them up for what is a crucial seven days in their season.
With the aforementioned factors considered, we think the Man City and both teams to score combination is priced generously for Saturday's game, while our correct score prediction forecasts a narrow 2-1 Citizens win.
It is not just going to be the case of a blank cheque coming in," Eales said. It is about how we can help each other to be successful within our means. There are some good win-wins for both parties. Sometimes you hear of these partnerships between clubs and, for the want of a better phrase, there's no skin in the game, but we put some money in to show our commitment. Eales said Atlanta had been looking for a "partner club" as they were "looking at any way we can punch above our weight".
The visitors went in front four minutes before half-time through Josip Brekalo while second-half goals from Yannick Gerhardt and Joao Victor wrapped up a comfortable win. Justin Kluivert was on the scoresheet in Belgium, meanwhile, as Roma booked their place in the last 16 with a 2-1 aggregate win over Gent.
Club Guarani welcome Olimpia Asuncion in the 4th round of the Paraguayan Apertura. Both have 2-1-0 so far and they are ranked second and third. The advantage, however, is with the visitors this time around. The home side was involved in the Copa Libertadores games and they won over Corinthians just a few days ago. The home coach will rotate players and he mentions 5 regulars to be out. Guarani plays better this season and they managed to beat Cerro Porteno. They won the previous 5 games. Olimpia is again good and they don`t have the Libertadores yet. Rocket Santa Cruz is on fire in Olympia and has scored 5 goals in 3 matches. This game can be highly entertaining at times. I see goals today.

They've conceded ten goals in their last seven games under García and while they've scored twelve times during this period, they're travelling to the home of a team hammering in goals for fun. Lyon's away record will probably set them back as well as les Gones have lost four of their last five matches on the road, winning just twice away from home since August in all competitions.
Now in the Europa League, they are one of the favourites to win the competition. They look to have one foot in the last sixteen after winning 2-0 away at Ludogorets Razgrad in the first leg of this tie. It took them until the 71st minute to take the lead and a 90th minute Lukaku penalty gave them a healthy 2-0 lead.
He has started 17 of Leicester's 25 Premier League games in 2019-20 and that shows Rodgers clearly has faith in him. In the 2-1 victory over Tottenham in September, Barnes played 82 minutes, making two key passes (level with James Maddison and Youri Tielemans) and had three shots in total - only Maddison had more (four). Fourteen of his successful 18 passes were in the opposition half. The touchmap above shows he got on the ball eight times in the opposition box.
Our aim is to ensure that we continue to achieve consistency in quality of recruitment. Well, you know what they say: if you’ve got a plan, you should stick to it. Even if that plan does not appear to be actually working and is at best a muddled and outdated way of thinking in the modern football world.
Lund football club is going to host IFK Malmo football club today in their friendly matches preparing for their new season. The hosts have seven games since they have tested a win, they have came last time with empty hands from their last away game to Helsingborg fc where they lost that game with five goals to two and that five goals conceded at a single match indicate that their defense is so porous. I know that the hosts are overconfident that they are going to beat the visitors because of their last win, where they beat the visitors five to nil.
Dortmund defender Mats Hummels said: "It was really bizarre, but for both teams. The start of the game was really strange, like a friendly. Fireworks were set off outside Parc des Princes The Champions League anthem was played to empty standsThe opening goal from Neymar was greeted by a huge cheer outside the stadium and Juan Bernat added a second just before the break to give the French champions a 2-0 lead on the night and a 3-2 advantage on aggregate against their German opponents.
It's about embedding our principles and our philosophies to give our players the right tools to go out there and compete with Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal.

The photo of a somewhat bemused Cosgrove and a beaming Glen was posted on the Aberdeen website. Most of the reaction was the usual feelgood stuff, but one fan was having none of it. Cosgrove hadn't hit the back of the net in the league for two months at this point. Sam should be practising goal scoring instead!" he blasted. There may also have been a few expletive-laden references to the big striker being in need of a pair of specs of his own.

The celebrations were mad too. I remember slipping over and Rachel Yankey tried to catch me. It was probably the first time in my career that she didn't!It gave the team a lot of confidence because it was our first win in the tournament. About 30,000 people were in the crowd at Etihad Stadium too so it was a big moment for women's football. Birmingham City 2-2 (3-2 pens) Chelsea, FA Cup final - 2012 This is one of my most special goals because of how much Birmingham City mean to me.

Bayern - with Real Madrid and Ajax - are also one of only three clubs to have lifted the European Cup in three successive seasons, while AC Milan's total of 11 European Cup or Champions League finals is second only to Real Madrid. In fifth place, Liverpool are England's most successful club in European competition. Their 2019 win was the sixth time they have been champions of Europe, and they boast three Uefa Cup victories too.

It's the first day that we are back to training, and the intensity will be gradually increased for sure.

Berbatov was a good example. He had a fair amount of success at Man United when he came, but he probably could have done more, especially at the beginning. I remember a training session had to be stopped because - before a Champions League final it was, I think - he didn't come across the pitch. I had the ball on one side and he was on the other side of the pitch.
Solskjaer certainly feels that progress is being made. I've seen the improvement since I came, the boys have had to reshape the squad, change culture of the squad, the way we want to play," he said. It could, given the chances United created before and after their first-half goals, have been an even more emphatic result and the way they approached the game, with real self-belief, shows that something is working at the club's Carrington training ground.
The Eagles failed to score in the first half for the 25th time this season - more than any other side. Kelechi Iheanacho has scored in back-to-back Premier League games for Leicester, having netted in just one of his previous 12 in the competition. Harvey Barnes provided his seventh and eighth Premier League assists of the season, more than any other Leicester player.
Should they fail, then Diego Simeone will turn his attention to Lacazette, whom he tried to sign from Lyon in 2017. Paper Round’s view: 32-year-old is topping many a wish list this month, and having started just four Ligue 1 games this season you can see why. There will be issues surrounding his recent injuries, but any club will know they are getting a lethal striker still capable of doing the business when fully fit.

Today he played like he was in the backyard, the garden or back on the playground with his mates. He is enjoying himself. We do expect a lot from him because he has showed his ability so many times. You can define players by waiting or expecting things to happen or you can make things happen. He made them happen by his movement and decision-making, being direct and positive. This was a top performance.
Having made his league debut against Newcastle in October, the Blues academy graduate has made 17 appearances, including 11 starts. Did you know? James' goal against Ajax in this season's Champions League meant he became Chelsea's youngest scorer in the competition (19 years 332 days). MidfieldersBukayo Saka Club: ArsenalAge: 18Position: Left winger/wing-backHave Arsenal unearthed the next Ashley Cole?The Gunners have history of producing gifted left-backs, which is where winger Bukayo Saka has been deployed since progressing through the club's youth ranks.
But for Fernandes, the opportunities dried up. He did not start any of those 19 games, coming off the bench 10 times and remaining an unused substitute the other nine occasions. This season, Fernandes has been used in a wide variety of positions, but he has failed to hold down a starting spot with Lage not featuring the 20-year-old in the league or Europe since November.

For me, this match is much closer to away win because in this moment, guests are much better team. So, Smolevichi is not started too good this season and they are so far have just one draw, or one point, what is pretty small. On the other side, Shakhtar is maybe not playing ideal, but their team is one of the three candidates for the title this season. They are in last season won second place and I believe that they will win this rival, pretty easy. I see here at least 2-0 or maybe, let's say, 3-1 for guests.
Brazil would host the 1950 finals and the USA would be taking part. An international festival of football was proposed for May and June of 1949.

Given the defensive credentials of Thursday's opposition, this game is nothing other than a big opportunity for Almeria to continue scoring at a pleasing rate. Punters can profit by siding with 'Almeria to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. Not only have Oviedo, who have the worst away defensive record in the division, conceded two or more in seven out of 11 on the road, shipping multiple goals in each of their three away games against teams currently in the top six, but Almeria have scored multiple goals on a regular basis at home, notching two or more in four of their last five at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos. Ultimately, when the best attack in the division faces one of the worst defences on Thursday evening, home goals are fancied.
Lacazette whipped the ball into the middle, Gaetano Berardi got a foot in, which diverted the ball to Nelson, who scuffed the ball into the bottom corner. Leeds did not look the same attacking force thereafter, as Arsenal held on with relative ease to book a fourth round trip to the Vitality Stadium.
