Scoring goals does not seem to be a problem for them either and although they have had the occasional blip - like last week's defeat at Everton - I think Chelsea are in decent shape right now. Lawro's prediction: 2-0David's prediction: We had a bit of a hiccup against Everton which was a bit unexpected, and we clearly still have a bit of work to do, especially at the back. We are better at home, however, and I think we will come back from that defeat and win.

Setubal are in seventh, giving them a chance to feature in the Europa League next term. The visitors come here just five points shy of the top four, while a spot in the top five could be enough to make it into the Europa League this summer. They may need to make strides on the road if they’re to do that, with the visitors losing half of their away games this season and winning just one.
Toulouse are on the bottom of the league with only 13 points out of the 22 games so far. Toulouse haven't won a game since October last year and at home they have lost each of the last 5 games conceding at least 2 goals in 4 of the 5 games.
The curse had struck. Liverpool finished seventh, trophyless, Benitez was sacked at the end of the season and they still wait to win the title to this day. Other than that, it was a stunningly accurate prediction. Man City sack Hughes and appoint Mancini - now why would they do that? Roberto Mancini led Manchester City to the Premier League title in 2012It was December 2009 - and after much speculation, Manchester City sacked Mark Hughes.
today I take a look at the French league 1 where brest will be hosting Amiens at stade Francis-le ble. The host are 14th on the table with 25 points having played 20 matches, they have 2 wins in the last 5 matches drawing 1 and losing 2. The visitors Amiens are are 18th on the log and a win for them today will see them go above Metz to 17th place. They are winless in all of their last 5 matches conceding 9 goals in the process. Judging by brest good home form and Amiens poor overall record I see a home win for brest
If that seems like a harsh remark to make about a coach who has won four of his five games in charge, remember the team in question; Barca only settles for the very best. That aforementioned defeat leaves them three points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid in second. The injury Luis Suarez suffered has complicated the selection process but Barca are not short of options.

Manchester United wish Marouane Fellaini well Fellaini vows to return to football in a Twitter post earlier today and is wished well by his former team. That's nice. Dubai Cup postponed Another inevitable postponement, unfortunately, as the Dubai World Cup is postponed to next year. Aussie Rules cancelled until further notice Catching up with a bit of overnight news now, which is that The Australian Football League's (AFL) attempt to forge on with the season behind closed doors has lasted just one round before it was shut down on Sunday.
But they never got going against a Watford side who were superb from start to finish. The Hornets had more chances in the first half and only a superb save from Alisson, to deny Troy Deeney, prevented them from leading at the break. However, Watford deservedly took the lead when Abdoulaye Doucoure squeezed a cross in from the left and the impressive Sarr was there to stab in. Liverpool had fallen behind against West Ham last week but still managed to grind out a win.
Atlético Madrid haven't lost consecutive Champions League group stage matches since October 2009, being beaten by Porto and Chelsea under manager Abel Resino. Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has kept 24 clean sheets in his 46 Champions League appearances. Should he keep a clean sheet in this match, he would be the second-fastest goalkeeper to 25 clean sheets in the competition behind former AC Milan 'keeper Dida (45 appearances).
Speaking of sides who are not exactly enjoying life at the moment, that is certainly true of this weekend’s visitors to the Abbey Stadium, Stevenage. The visitors currently find themselves on the foot of League 2 and even though their future in the Football League is looking in serious doubt, they have not exactly kicked into life in recent outings.
71% of AZ’s home games and VVV’s away games have featured over 2.5 goals and Sunday’s hosts have kept clean sheets in 71% of their home games while the visitors are yet to keep a clean sheet home or away. VVV have also failed to score in 29% of their away games and AZ have won-to-nil in 57% of their home games, providing even more reasons to back an AZ win-to-nil this weekend.
Fernandes won the Premier League player of the month award for FebruaryThe 25-year-old's all-round ability has the Old Trafford faithful reminiscing of the demand and desire of Roy Keane, the vision and passing ability of Paul Scholes, and the touch and class of Eric Cantona - his team-mates have been suitably impressed, being on the receiving end of the standards he expects. After the 1-1 draw against Everton, in which he scored a long-range drive, a report said that while most of his team-mates felt a point at Goodison Park was not a bad result, Fernandes told them they should be "mad" at failing to win.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo had never beaten his compatriot Mourinho in three attempts but only six points adrift of the top-four before kick-off, his side would rarely have greater incentive. They found themselves level in the 27th-minute through Matt Doherty who pounced after Japhet Tanganga failed to clear.

Arthur also enjoyed some good luck in adding a fourth, sending the ball into the back of the net despite Ivan Cuellar first making saves from Ansu Fati and Messi. It was 5-0 with just minutes remaining as Messi rounded the goalkeeper from an Ivan Rakitic through ball and sent a finish into the roof of the net.

I have never heard a word from Abramovich: 'Let's get this ready for a sale,' or something," Buck told The Guardian "Because of the political situation, there are people who think they might want to buy Chelsea at a bargain. We do get inquiries and we really have nothing to say to these people. Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi.
Marcus is a physical specimen. He is looking after himself and working hard in the gym. He's got that spring and has worked on it. It's about courage and getting up there," Solskjaer said. I remember a boy I used to play with who could head it well when he was close to goal. We compare him to Cristiano (Ronaldo) often, it's one of those where it can be another string to his bow because Cristiano had it when he was getting to that age.
Dinamo Minsk is one of the favorites in Belarus, which are having the worst start of the season in newer history of the competition. They are maybe in the worst position, comparing to other rival from the top. Soligorsk, BATE and Brest, are also on low level of performances, but had bit better results than them. Also, they are lowest placed on the league table, comparing to other big names.
What they do have is unlimited resources and the power that ensures. And Pep Guardiola. And now both of these pillars of their status have been left at risk by UEFA’s extraordinary decision to ban the club from the Champions League for two seasons and fine them €30 million. A decision which is unprecedented in its severity, and, to some extent, bravery.
In Czech Republic, Slavia Praha are expected to host Viktoria Plzen in a Liga 1 match which is expected to be held at Sinobo stadium, Prague city. The teams have been playing where in their last 5 matches, Slavia managed to win 3 matches and drew in 2 matches while Plzen won 3 matches, lost 1 match and drew in 1 match.
My inkling is that players will take pay cuts, they will help out, they will make donations in whatever way they can help. The way Tottenham have handled it has not been very good, what they are doing to their staff, I don’t agree with whatsoever. But that is a separate issue to what players do. We are two to three weeks behind Italy and Spain in the scheme of things and players there in recent days have have taken cuts.
MAN CITY'S ANGELINO JOINS RB LEIPZIG Manchester City full back Angelino, who has been restricted to just 12 appearances this season, will spend the rest of the season on loan at RB Leipzig. CUNHA SIGNS FOR HERTHA BERLIN Hertha Berlin have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig.
They have played 0:0 in the previous season, and this time game should have maybe three goals more. However, torpedo is favorite now, since they are having better roster and squad with a lot of young talented players. However, they also know to drop for some games, like the previous round against FC Minsk.
Last 3 games between them from last season ended with both teams scoring, over 2.5 goals and also Pohang winning all 3 of those games as they won twice at home with Ulsan with 2-1 both times while last game between them they won 4-1 away from home. And it was one of the reasons why Ulsan did not get a Champions League place at the end of last season. Ulsan found themselves behind in their last 3 games played despite dominating all of them, they came from 2-0 behind at Suwon and won 3-2 in round 2.
Spurs had wanted the Albanian goalkeeper to replace captain Hugo Lloris, whose performance levels have dropped off this term. Strakosha has been integral to Lazio's title charge and also attracted attention from Leicester City but the 25-year-old's decision has forced Jose Mourinho to turn to Ajax's Andre Onana.
Brentford have had issues on their travels this term, which has dented their hopes of mirroring West Brom’s consistency. The visitors are very much an all or nothing team, having won 11 and lost eight of their 22 matches in the league so far. Meanwhile, the Baggies have lost only once in 22, winning 14. That return has been boosted by seven wins in eight, which sends them here in great form.

The night before we were first back a few days ago, I was so excited it felt like Christmas Eve. I was getting all my kit set out ready to go in the morning. While he is benefiting from returning to training and is looking forward to a return to action, Keane understands the concerns of his fellow professionals, some of whom have voiced concerns at resuming. I think it's the safest place we can be at the minute because we're sticking with strict guidelines and social distancing so I'm really enjoying going in," he added.
Few journeys to the top of professional football can compete with the story of Alphonso Davies - the Bayern Munich youngster who starred against Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday. Born in a refugee camp in Ghana in 2000, his parents had fled fighting in the second Liberian civil war. They then moved to Canada as refugees when the player was five years old. Davies joined the Vancouver Whitecaps youth set-up in 2015 at the age of 14, before making his MLS debut a year later, and his big break came in the summer of 2018.
I don't think this is going to be fun and interesting game to watch at all cause both teams are struggling to score a goal and also none of them is in good shape so I think most probably half Will end with 0 0 at the scoreline and then I second half I expect from one team to score a goal and to win be a use of that with 1 0 but 0 0 is not going to be unexpected at all so who wants to risk could try to go with that but I stick with this bet
City drew 2-2 at Newcastle United on Saturday, leaving the champions 11 points adrift of leaders Liverpool. The result comes after defeat by Liverpool and victory over Chelsea in the Premier League and a pair of draws in the Champions League. You have to see how the players run, how far, how they try and the body language.
It's a way of bringing people together who don't have the chance to play football for the region or nation or people that they feel they represent," Conifa's Cassie Whittell told BBC Sport. We want to give our members a platform to play, that's the most important thing. If you are a Tibetan football player it's impossible to play for Tibet because of the way it is in China. We give them a chance to play football and we do that without any political interference from our side, we just want to give them a platform to play and give them a sense of who they are.
Although Mikel has not visited Meadow Park for some weeks, it was very clear that many of his support staff had attended recent development and youth games held at Meadow Park and all had been in contact with him at the Arsenal training centre. As such it has been decided by Wood chairman Danny Hunter, after consultation with the FA and the officials of the National League, that every precautionary measure must be afforded.
Winning the Champions League in June has elevated them to a new level - and they are showing it was just the start. We first saw the mentality of these players from the way they reacted to losing the 2018 Champions League final. You only have to look at what has happened to Tottenham so far this season to see how tough that is to take. Liverpool then had to deal with coming so close to winning the Premier League just a couple weeks before their second successive European final - again, there was no hangover, and obviously this time they won.

Manager Walter Mazzarri will have to deal with a few injured players before this match, Daniele Baselli, Iago Falqué, Kevin Bonifazi and Simone Zaza won’t be able to help their teammates. The player to watch in the home team should be Andrea Belotti, he is one of the best scorers in the Serie A with 7 goals this season.
Hazard had been kept out of action for almost three months by an ankle injury and was making only his second appearance since his return, but he hobbled off midway through the second half and was seen wearing an ice pack on his right foot. I think it's a knock to the same area where he suffered his last injury and it does not look good," Zidane told reporters.
That reprieve proved vital for Spurs, with Christian Eriksen equalising from a free-kick ten minutes into the second half, before more poor Spurs defending allowed Norwich to retake the lead six minutes later as Serge Aurier put through his own net. The visitors were not done there though, as Kane won the penalty before marking his 200th Premier League appearance with a crucial goal that earned Spurs a point and moves Jose Mourinho's side up to fifth in the table.
