Al Ain is fighting once more for the top places in the league and although in recent seasons they have failed to be a force in the Champions League just lost 4-0 their opening group game there against an average Sepahan side from Iran at home as well, in the league they dominate opponents with ease and even though they usually miss clear scoring chances they often find it easy to win games even on the road, like a 3-0 or a 2-0 win recent wins for them in the league away from home the 2-0 was at Al Wahda who is not that bad really.
As well as in-form Dortmund side, Hoffenheim will have to overcome their own inconsistent form in Friday's game. Hoffenheim have won just one of their last five Bundesliga games. They have lost three of their last five Bundesliga fixtures.
It would not be unfair to wonder if the side would have been more coherent not if he were replaced, but if he simply walked off the pitch. Worryingly for Martial, there are replacements on the sidelines. Mason Greenwood is too young to play every game, and Solskjaer clearly does not want to hold back his talent by exacting too much pressure on him.
Payet netted after seven minutes and Radonjic doubled the lead late on to put Marseille on 46 points from 23 games, a distant 12 behind leaders Paris St Germain but with a healthy advantage over third-placed Stade Rennais. The kickoff was delayed by 15 minutes after the players were affected in their warmup by tear gas used by the police during a fight between opposing fans outside of the stadium.

New Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari clearly remembers when he encountered "tourist racism". In 2015, he was in the away end at Arsenal with his beloved Manchester United 3-0 down at half-time. Cue a frustrated fellow United supporter pointing towards him and his nephew. How have they got tickets?" the man shouted, using a racist term to describe Bhandari. The same man then turned on other black and south-east Asian fans sat nearby.
I think particularly now, as a parent, it starts to make you look a bit more to the future at what kind of world we are going to hand over to the next generation. There's been a lot of time to think - and you can also have too much time to think, and that's also what worries me. He is in the 'yes to crowd noise' campWilliam says he really missed football during its hiatus. I was trying to pretend I didn't care too much it wasn't around," he says.
It’s fair to say that the new man is starting from a significantly lower base. To take an example at random, here’s the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust: "There are obviously concerns about how José and our Club’s Executive Board will work together, and we are sure all fans would appreciate greater clarity on how the Club sees this relationship operating in practice.

The government does have a responsibility. They should be looking into it. Football is the sport and there is a national interest in this," he told BBC Sport. Where you have a conflict over the potential undermining of commercial contracts by organisations seeking to buy a club then that's much closer to home. Betts says he is worried that broadcast rights-holders like Qatar-based beIN Sport - which has urged the Premier League to "interrogate" the takeover - may reconsider their partnerships if the piracy continues.
Neither side have made a habit of being involved in high-scoring games. More than three goals have been scored in just one of Fleetwood's 11 home games, as well as in just one of Sunderland's ten away games. The deciding is simply that Fleetwood have done a better job of scoring and denying their opponents at home than Sunderland have done on the road. Interestingly, Fleetwood have an average=shots on target supremacy of +2.64 at home. Sunderland's is -0.90 away from home.
The message that I want to send out is that these players have to play in the best and biggest games. There will be young players that either start or definitely take part in the game. It would be weak of me as a manager to not play them in the biggest occasions. Last month, Neville said England's aim was to "overtake" the USA as the best team in the world.
Frenchman Pogba, who has recovered from an ankle problem, came off the bench in the second half for his first appearance since facing Arsenal on Sept. United from dropping to eighth in the table.

The Merseyside club are on 55 points with 19 games left to play, 13 points clear of second-placed Leicester City and 14 ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who have both played a game more. Liverpool became only the third team to go unbeaten in 50 consecutive home games in the English top flight when they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 on Sunday and Lallana said it would be more of the same in 2020.

MANCHESTER, England, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Manchester United made a surprise late addition to their squad on deadline day by bringing in 30-year-old Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua. There were, however, no eye-catching major deals in the final 24 hours of transfer activity for European clubs which continues the trend of recent January windows.
The federation also announced that if any of the top three divisions should restart and then stop again, a shorter alternative of a play-off would have to be devised. However, if it was not possible to complete the season even with play-offs, it would implement a coefficient system. Serie C presents the biggest challenge as it features 60 clubs, divided into three regional groups, with many in difficult financial situations.
They are 19th, two points below the safety line, and while they have a game in hand they have a tough fixture list. Villa host Chelsea on Saturday and also must still face Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and in-form Sheffield United. Manager Dean Smith rued his side's defensive mistakes which gifted Leicester two goals -- the first being a crazy rush-of-blood by goalkeeper Pepe Reina who ran out of his goal to try to intercept the ball which allowed Barnes to score.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nine-team professional league said on Friday. The U. S. April 5 and no date had been set for the beginning of the season. We are considering all possible implication for the pre-season and regular season schedules while prioritizing the health and safety of our players," the league said in a statement.
I say at the time, 'It's not lucky'. What Liverpool has done last season and this season many, many times is because they've this incredible quality and this incredible talent to fight until the end. That's why I said to my players - not just my son and my daughter - that it is not lucky. If it happens once or twice in a life then, yes, but this many - maybe 10 or 12 or 13 times?"Do late goals play a decisive role in title races?On average, the team that wins the Premier League title earns 1.
Get Samir Handanovic in cotton wool ASAP.

The Seagulls are now 15th in the table, just two points above the relegation zone and coming into this match on the back of a four match winless streak. They have won just one of their last eight league matches, with only one point from three home fixtures during this period.
You can get performances and results like Wednesday night and it boosts it so much and I know our boys will be up for it," Solskjaer told reporters. We're going away against arguably the best team in England. It will be a difficult game but we need consistency. Before everyone was doom and gloom but it's a chance to turn that doubt into belief.
Some of this was attributed by the Vicarage Road hierarchy to Everton's approach for Silva the previous November - before hiring Allardyce. Watford fiercely resisted the Toffees' unwanted advances and complained to the Premier League with a demand for compensation. He was eventually appointed Everton boss in May 2018 and won 22 points from his first 13 league games in charge, but has only taken 42 points from the following 38 matches.
A total of 32 goals in 45 appearances for England puts him, at the age of 26, behind only Wayne Rooney, Sir Bobby Charlton, Gary Lineker, Jimmy Greaves and Michael Owen in the all-time scoring list. An integral part of the set-up, then. But he has a torn hamstring. Again, it's not known when he'll be back, but there are fears he could miss the remainder of the season after surgery earlier this month.
Talks with the Watford squad have taken place amid a backdrop of discontent over the payment of last season’s bonuses, with that issue not yet resolved to the players’ satisfaction. However, the club are close to a wages deal, having told the players they are not intending to furlough staff. It comes after Premier League-wide talks aimed at a collective pay deal broke down without resolution. The Premier League proposed a 30% pay cut, but the Professional Footballers’ Association said that would affect tax contributions to the NHS.

While domestic leagues are hoping to resume when the threat from the virus has receded, concrete start dates have yet to be fixed. That leaves the issue of expiring player contracts, which are usually timed to finish at the end of a given season, as a potential headache. The key suggestion to the working group in the document seen by Reuters is that "where an agreement is due to expire at the original end date of a season, such expiry be extended until the new end date of the season".
Footballers should 'take a knee' - Kick It Out chairView more on twitterMinneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who kneeled on Floyd's neck, has been charged with his murder. Three other police officers have been sacked. The Floyd case has reignited deep-seated anger over police killings of black Americans and racism, and protests have swept more than 75 cities across the US. A large number of footballers and clubs are marking 'Blackout Tuesday', a day of reflection and protest in the wake of Floyd's death.
The ball hadn't touched the ground since it left the boot of the right back. And the shot was hit with Kasami's so-called "weaker" foot. One other thing - the perspective of goals is always crucial. When you look back at TV pictures the camera is on the other side of the stadium from where I was commentating from. It looked even better from my vantage point that night. Media playback is not supported on this device Kasami goal one of the best - JolMost awkward manager interview(s)I remember when Graeme Souness was manager at Blackburn he was sent to the stands for berating the referee.
Aston Villa is the big favourite, that’s clear, but who cares? It’s football and the ball rolls in each direction, that’s pretty cool. Some of the youngsters could even play themselves into contention for a trip to Qatar. I believe there might be a plane waiting for one or two, it might depend on how they play tomorrow.
Today at Estadio Hernando Siles in La Paz we have match in Bolivia Division Profesional Clausura. Bolivar versus Always Ready and I think host team will be able to win this match by 2 or more goals differences. Bolivar is one of the best teams in league and they have good players. Bolivar is ranked at 1st place on table with 36 points and have 11 wins 3 draw and 3 lost. Guest is ranked at 6 place on table with 26 points and they play solid. I think Bolivar will be able to win this match 3-1 or 3-0.
It is the second time fifth-placed Atalanta have scored seven in one game this season, thumping Udinese 7-1 in October, and they now have 57 league goals this term, 11 more than the next highest side Lazio. Rather than the scoreline, the game will most likely be remembered for Ilicic's quick-thinking strike from 40 metres - his ninth goal in his last six games. But the wonder goal garnered different reactions from both team's Twitter accounts.
Leicester City celebrate scoring against BrentfordGetty Images TALKING POINT Plucky Brentford unfortunate to earn at least a replay. It was a shocking opening ten minutes that ultimately cost the home side. Maybe it was the pressure of the TV cameras or it potentially being the last FA Cup tie at Griffin Park but they started badly.
However, once again the timing of the news about Neville's future might be at odds with her plans, with Warwickshire-born Harvey only having taken up the role of under-20 head coach at the USA in January. Meanwhile, there are a host of other English coaches working in the American NWSL, including Orlando Pride's former Birmingham City boss Marc Skinner and Portland Thorns' former Chelsea boss Mark Parsons, who may well be among those considered by the FA, but they would not offer the kind of 'big-name' aura that the Lionesses might be looking for.
Bullingham also said the financial impact of postponements including England international fixtures, FA Cup matches and Wembley events will contribute to a loss of about £100m, but it could increase to £150m depending on "the government's necessary medical measures. He added: "Along with many other organisations across the country, we are currently reviewing our financial model during this challenging period.
