You can't just accept we're tired. After the confusion of Wednesday night, Solskjaer also clarified Pogba's injury situation, stating the Frenchman's latest surgery has been to clear up some bone fragments around the ankle. If the player is not happy with what he's feeling and he's got loads of pain, then it might be a worry it can get worse," said Solskjaer. The United boss was not impressed by the comments of Pogba's high-profile and controversial agent Mino Raiola, who this week accused the club of "ruining" players and said he would no longer send his to Old Trafford.
And Kamara's effort proved to be only a consolation as Fulham suffered their third home defeat this season, although they were convinced they should have had a penalty when Kebano went down in the box. Bristol City head coach Lee Johnson told BBC Radio Bristol:"I was pretty calm, I believed in the boys, there was a heart in mouth moment with the penalty appeal at the end but I thought we deserved the win.
He was joined on the touchline by Duncan Ferguson, who had been in charge for four league games as interim boss and remains part of Ancelotti's coaching team. When Silva was dismissed, Everton were in the bottom three, but they were rejuvenated under Ferguson as they beat Chelsea and drew with Manchester United and Arsenal. And Everton continued their recent revival by finally breaking down Burnley, who defended excellently for 80 minutes.
Wednesday, who have won this competition three times, took the lead when Sam Hutchinson's quick throw-in caught out two home defenders and Fox collected possession unchallenged in the penalty area to fire a left-footed effort under goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Rangers did rally after the break, with Julian Borner's superb tackle denying Eberechi Eze an equalising goal and Ilias Chair driving an effort just wide of the left corner.
Deportivo Walter Ferretti's disappointing second half of March was left behind. In the last 3 rounds, this team won 2 victories, and the only defeat took place on the field of championship candidate Diriangen FC (1-2 loss).
Liverpool, who are chasing a record-breaking 19th consecutive top-flight victory at Vicarage Road, are currently 22 points clear at the top of the table. After overcoming relegation-threatened Norwich City and West Ham United by one-goal margins in their last two matches, Klopp said their league positions do not reflect the threat they pose on the pitch.
The Saints’ 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Saturday made it three wins from their last five games, leaving them three points clear of the relegation zone and most definitely heading in the right direction.
Hopefully, we can get through this tournament and prolong the season. It takes time, I'm not a doctor. I was hoping he would recover quicker than what it looks like - he's going to be out for another few months definitely. If he's not fit enough he won't go (to the Euros). Video - Arsenal’s ‘top target’ available for €40m this summer - Euro Papers00:57 United signed Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo on loan as cover in the January transfer window and Solskjaer is optimistic the 30-year-old will be able to make up for Rashford's absence.
He has another 22 games to get those eight goals. His average of a goal every 90 minutes is better than in each of his previous Premier League seasons (it was a goal every 131 minutes in 2015-16) and he is having a shot on target every 55 minutes, which is also his top-flight career best. His average of a shot every 35 minutes is comparable to last season, but not as good as his figure of 27 in 2015-16.
So next summer, English clubs will be able to purchase players up until September 1. Still, it was a great two-year run. IN OTHER NEWS Everything seems to be going quite well for Petr Cech in his new pursuit. IN THE CHANNELS The, er, ‘windmill’ incident at Newcastle this week seems to have brought the best out of footballers on social media.
Their movement and quick passing was more than the PSG defence could handle and they also strangled the visitors for most of the first 80 minutes, simply not allowing them play. However, some calamitous defending left the door ajar for the Parisians and they duly took full advantage, showing some of the grit and tenacity that has eluded them win previous seasons when the going has gotten tough in the Champions League.

Dinamo defeated with ease Academica with 4-2 at home earlier this season and they should be quite attacking minded here in this away game as well as the hosts lack the quality to hope for more than to avoid relegation from the first league being their first season in the top flight and they are really not capable of fighting strong against top teams like Dinamo even in home games so Dinamo who is quite attacking minded even on the road should be scoring a couple here and hope they win by at least 2 goals difference because they are capable of it.
It was without doubt a renewed Everton performance last weekend, but you can’t ignore the situation they find themselves in. They sit 14th in the Premier League table and are just two points clear of the relegation zone, and away from home they have lost six of their last seven league matches.

Espanyol will host Levante for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this match. Espanyol have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts want to win at all costs. True, this will not be an easy task. Espanyol is team of the relegation zone. Hosts have low potential in attack. They have a vulnerable defense. On the other hand Levante is very average team in this season. However, Levante have more effective attack. In any case, both teams tend to score a goal. I think, the visitors have a chance to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
There's still that fear of getting injured again and what that would look like for me. Ultimately, the things you take for granted in terms of being a footballer, being able to run, being around your team on a regular basis, gamedays, those are the things I don't take for granted anymore because they can be taken away in an instant.
Lovren has helped the club to this year's Premier League title, making 10 appearances in the top flight during the campaign. Overall, he has made 131 league appearances for Liverpool, scoring five goals, and also won the 2019 Champions League with the club. Zenit and other clubs are thought to have believed Lovren's deal ran out in summer 2021 but the option of a further year on his contract means Liverpool may be able to command a bigger fee for him.
I have said to the boys already, two weeks ago, that we will have a winter break, so it means we will not be there -- it will be the kids who play that game because they cannot deal with us like nobody cares about it. I know it is not very popular, but that's the way I see it. The Premier League asked us to respect the winter break and that's what we'll do.
And the night was summed up by Mourinho's reaction to Harry Kane's equaliser, created by Lucas Moura after Serge Aurier's quick throw-in caught Olympiakos off guard - pointing towards an alert ball boy in elation before hugging the youngster for what the new Spurs manager regarded as a full-on assist because of his quick-fire actions. It was a nice moment of headline-grabbing connection between Mourinho and his new club's supporters, a clever piece of stage management by someone who knows all those tricks.
It was then that the reported racist abuse occurred, with Rudiger telling Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who then informed referee Anthony Taylor. My understanding is that there was a racist comment or gesture. I know Antonio reported it to Cesar out on the pitch," Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said.
Marseille will against Toulouse in match France Liga 1. My prediction this match can be winning for Marseille with margin score is 2 goals. Marseille have great result on last 5 match in league due to Marseille have won in 3 match and 2 match is draw. Meanwhile, Toulouse have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Toulouse only have draw in 1 match and 4 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Marseille can defeat Toulouse on this match due to Marseille more strong in every home match and Marseille have yet lose in every home match. Surely Marseille have more chance to win on this match.

No team have scored more goals via substitutes than Sheffield United (seven) in the Premier League this season, while no player has scored more as a substitute than Lys Mousset (three). Sander Berge has scored his first goal for Sheffield United in the Premier League on his eighth appearance, with his first shot on target in the competition. Sheffield United's Chris Basham has registered his first Premier League assist since August 2010 for Blackpool, nine years and 323 days ago.
Brighton boss Graham Potter conceded his team struggled to keep up with Leicester's blistering pace. We're disappointed to lose but over the course of the game it was a fair result," he said. Once they are 1-0 up, they are hard to contain because they are so dangerous on the counter. They can attack in different ways.
Ayew magic seals win for Palace over West Ham Jordan Ayew's magnificent late solo goal earned Crystal Palace a 2-1 come-from-behind home win against West Ham United in a lively festive derby at Selhurst Park. It looked as though honours would be even but Ayew produced an incredible moment of skill, pirouetting on the edge of the area, jinking past a West Ham defender and dinking a cool finish over West Ham keeper Roberto Jimenez.
He is enjoying being back at Maidstone - three points off a National League South play-off spot - working alongside head coach Hakan Hayrettin. Five months away from his 70th birthday, Still is not thinking of retirement any time soon. My body will tell me when I'm ready to pack it in," he said. I'll know when the time is right. When I no longer enjoy it or when no one wants me - whichever comes first.
Recreativo da Caala fc has been beaten by the visitors at their home ground by two goals to one so I think they are like a wounded lion which needs to revenge so I opined that the home team is going to take all points from this game.
The home team have found scoring a problem at times and have not been able to score as many goals as they would have wanted in their matches. This could be another low scoring match for them after seeing not many goals in their past 2 matches and seeing under 1.5 goals in these matches. The amount of shots on target have been low and this could be exactly the same for this match. This could be a low scoring match as improvement will also need to be made on their defensive efforts with some recent losing matches in the league.
With the Gini's [Wijnaldum] injury today and Dejan's three or four days ago - I don't know who was injured three days before that but for sure, somebody - our squad is not getting bigger," Klopp said. Our main problem is about losing players. We are fine with the number of fixtures but losing players does not make it any easier. Sensationally good organisation'Heavy fixture congestion and injuries are not Klopp's only concern - he is worried the conditions in Qatar and the organisation of the Club World Cup, a tournament the Reds have never won, will go against them.
Fulham have lost their last three games against Stoke City in all competitions, losing 2-0 away from home earlier this season in the reverse league fixture. However, the Cottagers have won the previous four league meetings between these two at Craven Cottage have all been won by Fulham. They’re hoping to make it five in a row here.
However, it was in the afterglow of Chelsea's FA Cup triumph that Bonetti experienced what was probably the toughest moment of his career in June 1970 at the World Cup in Mexico. Bonetti only won seven England caps because Banks was manager Sir Alf Ramsey's understandable first choice and fierce competition was supplied by the likes of Sheffield Wednesday's Ron Springett, Gordon West of Everton and Manchester United's Alex Stepney.
The players had individual programmes while they were away, so they weren't escaping total physical exertion. We're all fresh ahead of this final third of the season. It is his longest run without a top-flight goal since he went seven games between December 2016 and February 2017. MATCH FACTSHead-to-headWolves won 4-3 in both previous Premier League home games against the Foxes. Leicester's solitary victory in their past eight league visits to Wolves came in the Championship in December 2006.
The newly promoted Blades have enjoyed a stunning start to life back in the top flight, and this weekend, United will be aiming to complete a league double over the Gunners for the first time since the 1946/47 season.
Stoke City are sure to give much in this game, as they seek to rise further from the relegation region. On the other hand, Swansea want to crash into the playoffs zone, so we expect a tough clash here as both sides try to win it. Stoke are coming from a morale boosting win over West Brom and they have a good run at home in recent matches. They have also had a good run over Swansea in recent times and will have the home advantage. While Swansea have done well away from home, we expect Stoke to have a better push here and thus we will go for a home win.
The Premier League has also been asked by Qatar broadcaster beIN Sports to consider "the direct role of Saudi Arabia" in beoutQ illegally showing matches in the Middle East region, although there is a long-running diplomatic row between the two countries. That could prove to be a crucial consideration on whether the test is passed, especially as the Premier League wrote to the US government in February urging it to keep Saudi Arabia on a watch list because it said the country "remained a centre for piracy".
The referee, who initially waved played on, had to use a walkie-talkie to communicate with VAR officials as his ear-piece appeared to be broken and the pitchside monitor was also not working. He eventually pointed to the spot on the advice of video officials. The win ensured that Juventus, chasing a ninth successive title, stayed top for another week as they went four points clear of Lazio who visit Genoa on Sunday.
Nicaragua Primera U20. Juventus Managua will play with team Real Esteli. It will be the first semi- final game. Hosts did 4 wins at the last 4 matches played. Guests did 5 wins at the last 5 matches played. Both clubs have a good shape. My bet is a draw here. On this stage it is very possible to see a balanced game. Both clubs will play more better in defense. And maybe we will see a game without any goals. Odds are so good to try this way. I recommend to check this position with me in this game !
Venlo and Heracles will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Venlo this season have the following results: 6W, 3D and 13L. Meanwhile Heracles have 8W, 5D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Fortuna have conceded over 2.5 goals in three of their last four Bundesliga games. We feel that they are likely to concede over 2.5 goals again versus Leipzig this Saturday. We are backing Leipzig to score over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
We’re confident that Sporting will win and have backed the hosts with a draw no bet this Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts head into the game as the clear form favourites and have outperformed PSV in Group D so far. However, the hosts haven’t scored more than two goals very often this season and are going to need to put in another strong defensive display against a PSV side that have scored more goals away from home than they have conceded in the league this season, which is why we have backed a narrow 2-1 win for Sporting this Thursday.
