William Prunier to Man Utd William Prunier partnered Gary Neville at centre-back for two United gamesUp there with the very strangest Premier League signings. French centre-back William Prunier effectively bought out his contract from Bordeaux and joined United on trial in December 2015. But United were so short at the back because of injuries, he had to play two first-team games - a 2-1 win over QPR and 4-1 defeat by Tottenham.
Things haven't worked out for Southend this season, that's plain for all to see, though Sol Campbell's men have shown plenty of fighting spirit in recent weeks, even if it has been largely in vain.

Yet another Sergio Aguero goal, bestowed by yet another Kevin de Bruyne cross, took City to within a mere 13 points of Liverpool, having played two games more.

APOEL have had decent home form in Europe this season but conceded five goals in three home group matches. They take on a Basel side that has plenty of experience in Europe this season with campaigns in both the Champions and Europa Leagues. Basel aren't in the best of form but do tend to get on the scoresheet on their travels. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager.
They are not afraid to have a defensive approach. They have lots of young people with energy and when they are winning they are comfortable in this situation, with a low block, fast on the counter with [Anthony] Martial, [Daniel] James, [Marcus] Rashford, Jesse [Lingard]. It's easier for them when they play the better teams who want the ball and have the initiative, I think they did well.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: 1-2Match preview Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers (14:00 GMT)Spurs are still short of strikers and I think manager Jose Mourinho is trying to prove a point to his chairman, Daniel Levy, by refusing to play teenager Troy Parrott. They have been flat in attack in their defeats by RB Leipzig and Chelsea in the past week, and they will need to find a spark from somewhere.
The away team have had 7 goals scored against them combined in their past 3 away matches. They will need to fix this up and they could look to defend more in this match to at least try to win the match. They have been under a lot of pressure and are in need of points. Can see the away team really changing the way they play this and focus more on the defending compared to the scoring. They look to have a good defensive set up to play in this match on the weekend and looks to be their plan

Out of context I accept this reads shamefully. However, my intention was that the joke was aimed at myself. Madley said the video, sent as a private text to somebody he trusted, was meant to be nothing more than a joke and was not intended to be seen by anyone else, claiming his "world fell apart" after the video came to light.
Hertha BSC will play in front of domestic fans against Mainz 05, five points is a gap between them at standings, and Mainz is just one place above relegation zone, and if they want to avoid relegation in current season they need to change something urgently, their major problems is weak defense, they own the worst defense in Bundesliga, also they collected four defeats in a row.

They were never given a moment's peace by a St Mirren side full of endeavour but the gulf of quality proved telling. The Paisley club have gone just shy of a decade since their last league win over Celtic, and even a goal had proved beyond them in the sides' last five meetings until MacPherson's deflected free-kick sailed past Fraser Forster to end that trend.
Then after Olympiacos equalised to put themselves on the cusp of the last 16, Auba missed a gilt-edged sitter meaning Olympiacos went through on away goals after a 2-1 win at the Emirates. He is excellent but not elite. He has, for some seasons, courted a move to Real Madrid; for some seasons that move has not been forthcoming.
Scrapping it is not an option - what we have to do is try and make VAR better. VAR has been brought in to the Premier League to decide on goals, penalties, red cards and offside decisions. Masters, who was appointed on a permanent basis in December after being in temporary charge for more than a year, said the Premier League would discuss changes to VAR with the clubs in April.
Josh Murphy's two goals against Reading took his season's tally to fourHe seemed a different player here, buzzing with intent as he ran at Reading's defenders and trying his luck with a long-range effort in the opening exchanges. It was no surprise to see Murphy put Cardiff ahead, intercepting a careless pass from Reading's Charlie Adam and firing a left-footed shot into the bottom corner. The hosts could have doubled their advantage a minute later but, after good work from Gavin Whyte, Danny Ward curled his effort over the bar.
Osasuna B will play against Salamanca CF UDS in the Spain Segunda division. Salamanca have some chances to take the all the points here in this match. Osasuna B bagged 29 points after 18 matches so far in this season and sir on top zone at the table but have only 3 points adrift of the Salamanca. They are coming from a draw and won only twice in in the last 5 matches. Salamanca are in good form and are coming from a win and so despite away I see some chances for them and I like the odds offered here.

Raiola and Barnett were part of a smaller meeting beforehand, in which all agents present were said to be united in their opposition to Fifa's intentions.
Dock them points when they go down into the second division. Maybe that threat will force clubs and other fans to work harder to stamp out this sort of behaviour. There can be zero tolerance. Zero.

It is pretty clear that home team will easy win new three points in this match from Austria Bundesliga and that is pretty clear, for all who are following this league. So, Salzburg is really the best team in this country in last few years and this one, they will again very easy won new title, that is clear.

Friendly framework of the club, the fans will be watching the extremely attractive duel between rivals Lunds BOIS vs Lunds FF. Both are determined to win the highest. Experts predict a high probability of winning will be in favor of the home team. Lunds BOIS is playing at a bad current form. The home team only got 1 win. Left, they drew 2 matches and lost 2 matches. Taking into account the last 10 matches, Lunds BOIS only brought 2 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses.

It has not been pretty, with Tottenham scrambling points in unconvincing fashion, although a smash-and-grab 2-0 home victory over Manchester City in their last league game showed much about the galvanising effect Mourinho has had.
Those teams were Aston Villa, West Brom and Everton. I watched them all play a game in turn before picking one, and the last team I saw were Everton. They played in the same colour blue I wore as a kid for my baseball team when we won the state championship and I just knew straight away they were my team. When I watched them, the feeling grew and grew. I like a team without an ego who, when they win, it really feels like something - and it still does.
The club can use up to 17,000 euros of the fine to invest in measures to prevent violence and boost security.

Arsenal have progressed from 11 of their last 12 two-legged knockout ties in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, falling only at the 2017-18 semi-final in this run. Bukayo Saka has been involved in six Europa League goals this season (two goals, four assists), more than any other Arsenal player.
The attacking talent on display for Ajax should be enough to see the game beat the 2.5 goal line and with Lille having plenty of chances so far this should see the line beaten with some ease. We're certainly anticipating plenty of goals in this one.
Sociedad, who are sixth in La Liga, will pay for tickets, dinner and a three-hour coach ride from Becerril de Campos in Castille de Leon to San Sebastian for the players, staff and all of the village's 754 inhabitants for a match of their choice.

It's hard to know how the change in management will affect either team. It's also hard to know how playing in an empty stadium will affect the home advantage of Incheon. There are many variables that are hard to factor into any prediction that can be made. Yet Daegu's dominance in this fixture leads us to believe that they can start the season with a win.

Leicester City celebrate scoring against BrentfordGetty Images TALKING POINT Plucky Brentford unfortunate to earn at least a replay.
