AZ extended their fine run of clean sheets and win when they beat Utrecht 3-0 away last time out but Sunday’s hosts do have a Europa League match against Partizan to negotiate before then can hand the full attention to visiting VVV. Third from bottom VVV won 2-1 at home to Twente last weekend but still boast the worst goal difference in the Eredivisie this season.
City's number 2 was talked about as a possible successor to Arsene Wenger when the Frenchman stepped down 18 months ago, but was eschewed in favour of former Paris Saint Germain boss Emery. Of course he’ll [Arteta] be a manager sooner or later, he’s young, always he’ll have that," said Guardiola. We are going to finish the season and in future I don’t know what will happen.
The visitors are moving in on safety, with manager Gerhard Struber taking them to new levels. Having spent the season seemingly destined for a speedy return to League One, the club are now fighting back. The Tykes picked up another result at the weekend by digging in and pulling off a 0-0 draw at Swansea. Could they hold Rooney’s Derby to another blank?
Those looking to get involved with the betting ahead of this clash are advised to stick with the hosts. Neither side has flourished this season, though given that Tranmere's forward efforts at home have been considerably better than Stanley's exploits on the road, it's easy to feel that they deserve a bit more respect. If you're looking for a sure-fire winner, then you might be disappointed by this fixture, as it's by no means a fixture to get overly excited about in that sense. Overall there's not a great deal between the pair, neither of whom are great at the back, but Tranmere’s extra attacking power at home came make all the difference and ultimately makes the price on offer look reasonably attractive.
Chelsea now have a precious four-point gap to fifth, the pressure has been released and the world looks a far better place. Not so for Mourinho, defiant afterwards but attempting to erect a shield around his team's shortcomings. Mourinho is now in full "what can I/we do?" mode after Son Heung-min joined Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko as long-term injury absentees.
Porto forward Moussa Marega walked off mid-way through his side's win at Vitoria Guimaraes, saying he was subjected to racist abuse from fans. Marega, 28, started to walk towards the dugouts in the 69th minute, nine minutes after scoring what would prove the winner in Porto's 2-1 victory. He pointed his thumbs down and also raised his middle fingers to the crowd. Team-mates and opposition players tried to persuade him to stay on, but he was eventually substituted.
He had over 400 Premier League appearances too so that has to be taken into account. Ian Wright: "When you're an intelligent player, you can play different positions and read what's going on. He had no problems with that. It didn't surprise me that he became an integral part of the England squad because he is a leader. He is very self-assured and confident in anybody's company. He was always one of the main guys.
Twente and Vitesse will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie in Holland. Twente this season have the following results: 5W, 4D and 7L. Meanwhile Vitesse have 7W, 3D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Though Swansea had opportunities, it was Cardiff who were the more menacing side in the first period. Steve Cooper's team were guilty of giving the ball away cheaply and as a result found themselves on the back foot too often for their head coach's liking. Robert Glatzel, who had nodded wide early on, saw another header saved by Freddie Woodman. Nelson then sent a header straight at Swansea's goalkeeper before Glatzel pulled a shot badly off target when well placed.
I will take this bet on over 2.5 goals here expecting a couple of goals being scored by the hosts as they do have 4 wins in a row in front of home fans league or cup games and most of those games did have over 2.5 goals scored in them but most interesting part is the guests from Monarcas as they played 5 games away from home in 2020 and all 5 of those games ended with over 2.5 goals this while even 4 of those games had 4 or more goals scored in them so was thinking of the over 3.5 goals but I do not see great odds and will settle with the over 2.5 goals bet here.
I see at least two goals in this match who will be played tonight in Spain Second league and I will try that option. So, Almeria is team who is this season playing much better than it was the case in last few seasons, when they are fight for survival. This one, they are playing great and they are one of the favorites for promotion in Primera. In last six matches, this team is played with even four or more goals, so for me, that is good reason to try with goals and this time. It is very very real.
In the round of Premier League 2019/2020, rivals of Chelsea in the race to the Top 4 Premier League did not win. Arsenal lost 0-3 to Man City and Sheffield United to Aston Villa drew 0-0, while MU and Tottenham divided the score with a 1-1 draw. The above results bring certain advantages for Chelsea, the team must only be a guest on the pitch of Aston Villa in this round.
Kane to pick Juventus move over Manchester United and Manchester City Harry Kane is set to leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window in order to win trophies and Juventus, Manchester United and Manchester City are all interested in the England captain. He is the Italian champions' top target and they are prepared to spend up to £200m on him but if he decides against a switch to Turin, Maurizio Sarri will instead move for Gabriel Jesus.

Chabab Rif Hoceima will host Tihad Casablanca for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. I think, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result in this game. I believe, Tihad Casablanca are in better shape than their opponent. I expect, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, we have Hoceima who's is one of the worst teams in the league. Hosts are vulnerable in the last matches. They have three consecutive losses. My pick - TAS Casablanca to win.
Lyon manager Rudi Garcia says his side do not have an "anti-Ronaldo plan" for their Champions League last-16 first leg against Juventus. The Ligue 1 side have never beaten Cristiano Ronaldo's Juve in European competition but Garcia says his players "want to upset the odds". Cristiano is a great professional but we don't have an anti-Ronaldo plan," Garcia said. They are a complete team and we have to solve the problems collectively.
As Copenhagen's players celebrated Biel's late goal -- which put them ahead on aggregate -- in front of the away fans at Celtic Park, Santos barged into a policeman who was attempting to prevent Biel from getting any closer to the stands. Tempers flared as stewards and other policemen stepped in to prevent any escalation in tensions and Copenhagen said one of their stewards was charged as well.
Getting to the FA Cup semi-final was something special and 13 April does stick in the head. They are good memories but they are bittersweet at times. People remind me of it and it is bitter to look back on when you think what might have been. It is something you can watch online and I bring it up and show my son and daughters that I played in an FA Cup semi-final. Reaching Old Trafford: 'We had our own memorable day there' Howard celebrated with skipper Dyche after Chesterfield went 2-0 aheadStarting from the first round, Chesterfield had won six games on their way to the last four, knocking out Nottingham Forest, who were then in the Premier League, and First Division high-flyers Bolton, with striker Kevin Davies netting a hat-trick against a side he would go on to join later in his career.
The toughness that Arteta wants to develop is more mental than physical; as the game progressed, and they came to terms with Portsmouth’s aggression, the young Arsenal players showed impressive courage in possession. An FA Cup win at a League One side is nothing to shout about, but every bit of positive reinforcement is important when you are trying to change the DNA of a club.
Premier League clubs remain committed to finishing the 92 remaining fixtures of the current season but did not discuss a deadline by which play must resume at a meeting on Friday. Clubs were expected to debate a 30 June deadline to resume play but instead discussed "possible scheduling models". The Premier League said it "remains our objective" to complete matches but currently "all dates are tentative".
Who scored the most goals? Who kept the most clean sheets? Which player was the league's top shooter/passer/tackler? Oh, who cares?BBC Sport ignores the information you can find elsewhere and digs into some of the more interesting stats of the longest, strangest Premier League season on record. The more things change. Before the Premier League's restart on 17 June there was much interest in how the 100-day hiatus might affect the game - would we see a boat-load of goals, a greater number flying in late in matches against knackered defences or a huge increase in away wins like in Germany? Off the field things were certainly different, with stringent safety measures in place and testing twice a week to combat coronavirus, as well as eerie, empty stands on matchdays.
It’ll never happen, but here’s the report: "Now, Premier League clubs are scrambling, in some cases increasingly desperately, for ideas to complete the season on the field. As the industry seeks to stay afloat, the ideas are becoming more creative. For example, The Athletic learned on Thursday that one club has even suggested exploring the feasibility of completing the domestic season abroad.
The Transfer Window 50: Dybala and Werner in, but Mané out of Premier League? At the state level, governors have been implementing lockdowns and trying to expand medical facilities, even as Bolsonaro harshly criticizes them for what he has described as an unnecessary slowdown of Latin America's largest economy.
Both teams scored in four of the last six meetings between these two clubs as well as in three of Morecambe’s last four matches and five of Carlisle’s last six outings, so you can start to see just why we’ve backed goals to be scored at both ends of the pitch this weekend.
Ebbsfleet and Woking will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League. Ebbsfleet this season have the following results: 5W, 11D and 15L. Meanwhile Woking have 13W, 8D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
West Ham are close to completing the re-signing of goalkeeper Darren Randolph from Middlesbrough for £4m. New Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring in reinforcements after the disastrous performances of second-choice Roberto during Lucasz Fabianski's three-month absence with a thigh injury. Randolph is set to be one of a number of new arrivals as Moyes looks to guide the Hammers away from relegation trouble, with the club 16th and two points above Bournemouth in 18th.
However, both sides are heading back to the second tier as things stand, with the pair placed 19th and 20th respectively. They’re heading for relegation, but will their latest top flight clash play out like the others? SPAL are hoping for a home win, with Brescia on a terrible run of form.
The pandemonium spills over on to the pitch, photographers encroach the penalty area and surround Kindvall. Celtic's players pick themselves up and desperately search their minds for ideas of how to rescue a replay. None were forthcoming. In a matter of a few seconds, referee Concetto lo Bello blows the final whistle, confirming Feyenoord as European Cup winners for the first time - and Celtic as European Cup final losers for the first time.
The result means Leicester reduce Liverpool's lead at the top slightly, although the Merseyside club have two games in hand. West Ham, meanwhile, are now just one point off the relegation zone in 17th as the pressure continues to mount on Manuel Pellegrini following the Hammers' fourth straight home defeat.
Newcastle hadn't played well, creating little and lacking rhythm in their play, but they stunned Palace just when the visitors looked to be on top. After a first half void of any drama or excitement, the visitors looked the more threatening after the restart and Christian Benteke forced a great save from Martin Dubravka while Patrick van Aanholt almost scored directly from a corner.
Away side should not be big threat for the host, since Seongnam did lost three of four games in the league, against this rival. Seoul did lost their first away game, but than made two big victors, where team did show quality from the previous year, and AFC Champion competition.
Kaiserslautern took down Nurnberg on penalties in the previous round of the DFB Pokal after the final scores read 2-2, even after extra time. The hosts have since admitted defeat just twice in their past nine games in the third division, where they are currently sitting tenth in a cluster of twenty.
Silva in sticky situation as Toffees chase Simeone Everton are considering sacking manager Marco Silva after a 5-2 thrashing in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool which left the Toffees languishing in the Premier League's bottom three. The Express are reporting that Everton are planning an audacious attempt to bring Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone as a replacement, with the Argentine struggling this season in the Spanish capital.

Dembele put the home side ahead with a glancing header in the 27th minute after Lucas Tousart floated over a free kick from the left and sealed the win with a stoppage time penalty.
You wait for it to stop, but then he continues. He has all the prerequisites to become a world leader and one of the greatest Norway has ever had. The sensible solution is for Odegaard to stay put If it is clear that Haaland should, and realistically will, stay at Dortmund then things are far hazier for Odegaard.

In the round 24 of the English Premier League, Everton welcomes Newcastle to Goodison Park. The home team, Everton are currently at the eleventh position of the league table. They have won 6 of 11 home league matches this season. Since the appointment of their new manager Carlo Ancelotti they have lost just 1 match and they have won 3 matches. The away team, Newcastle United are currently at the twelfth position of the league table. They have lost 7 of 11 away matches played in the league this season. I expect the home team to win this match but I doubt they will be able to keep a clean sheet. Good luck and bet responsibly.
Hagi's 84th-minute strike, which helped Rangers remain seven points behind leaders Celtic with a game in hand, also came as the prefect birthday gift for his father, who turned 55. The elder Hagi is regarded as one of the best players of his generation, winning more than 120 caps for Romania and playing for both Real Madrid and Barcelona in a stellar club career.

The 24-year-old Colombian was then inches away from making it 2-0 with a sweet strike from 25 yards out. Flamengo's best chances of an equaliser came in the space of a few seconds when Barbosa had a shot blocked and Everton Ribeiro's follow up was well held by keeper Franco Armani. But then came the late fightback that turned the final on its head. Media playback is not supported on this device Rafael Santos Borre gives River Plate the lead First, Barbosa timed his run to perfection to run in Bruno Henrique's square ball, and then the striker on loan from Inter Milan twisted and turned the defence in the penalty box to slot in a 92nd-minute winner.
However, the Belgian has found a rich vein of form recently. He was exceptional in Real Madrid’s La Liga win over Getafe last week and kept his side in the game a number of times in this match, most notably making a huge save from Thomas Partey in the shootout to help Los Blancos to the trophy. PLAYER RATINGS Real Madrid: Courtois 8, Carvajal 6, Varane 6, Ramos 5, Mendy 7, Casemiro 7, Valverde 5, Modric 5, Isco 5, Kroos 7, Jovic 6.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of the last six meetings between these two clubs and Strasbourg have won two of their last four home games against Saint-Etienne. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Strasbourg’s and five of Saint-Etienne’s last six matches and the hosts have won four of their last six matches in all competitions while the visitors have lost four of their last six matches in league and cup, so you can see why we have backed over 2.5 goals to be scored and Strasbourg to win this weekend.
Montpellier have been fantastic this season but due their awful away form, we're edging this one in favour of the hosts. Both teams have put in 'Jekyll and Hyde' performances when they're not playing at their preferred home stadium but with Dijon hosting this match, we're backing them to keep up their great form at the Gaston Gérard to beat Montpellier.
In a true top of the table six pointer, both sides crafted and blew several good opportunities to win the game, but it was the Catalan giants who emerged victorious thanks to a typically brilliant solo effort from Lionel Messi four minutes from time.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he is standing firm on using his under-23s in the FA Cup replay with Shrewsbury Town, otherwise "nothing will change". The Reds drew the fourth-round tie 2-2 at the League One club and the replay falls during the Premier League's mid-season break. Klopp maintains he will not manage the side for the game next month. If we react how we always react and find a way to do it, then nothing will change," Klopp said.
