This positive form sheet papers over cracks that were exposed most recently by the manner in which they exited the Europa League. Arsenal carried an away advantage into the Emirates leg only to suffer the indignity of a home defeat after extra-time. A disorganised defence was the main reason for that failure and it is an area of the team that Mikel Arteta will have to address in the summer.
Brentford continue their promotion bid and are worthy favourites to win this game. They did well to get a home draw with Leeds United recently and have no losses in their last four home league matches. Blackburn are also in contention and could well make it into the play-offs. They do tend to come up short against the best teams in the league. That could well happen again this weekend, go for a Brentford home win.
So his unhurried, elegant goal against Belgium summed him up to a tee. Collecting possession on the edge of the Belgium penalty area, he calmly lifted the ball over several onrushing defenders before casually flicking it over Belgian goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff.

Edouard was a constant menace, forcing Lewis into action with a shot from the edge of the area before watching a close-range finish deflected wide at the end of another gorgeous flowing move. So when Aberdeen pulled level, it was to the astonishment of just about everyone inside Celtic Park. Neil Lennon vented his fury as Jeremie Frimpong was penalised for a challenge on Niall McGinn and that was amplified as Aberdeen profited.
Real went all out for a third goal in the closing stages of the game and Luka Modric netted in the fifth minute of added time to round off the victory after Gareth Bale and Vinicius Jr. The win takes Real top of the standings on 40 points after 19 games, one ahead of champions Barcelona in second who visit local rivals Espanyol later on Saturday.

Sunderland went into their fixture on the 29th having gone five league games without a win. Things were starting to look very bleak for a club that wants to get promoted.

Borussia Dortmund missed the chance to go joint-top of the Bundesliga as Bayer Leverkusen scored two late goals to steal an unlikely victory at BayArena. In an entertaining first half, Kevin Volland scored twice while Mats Hummels and Emre Can each netted. Raphael Guerreiro gave Dortmund the lead on 64 minutes only for the hosts to fight back in the closing stages. Substitute Leon Bailey and Lars Bender scored in successive minutes to seal all three points for Leverkusen.

Neil Swarbrick, who oversees the system for Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), rated VAR at seven out of 10 earlier this season during an interview with BBC Sport. Only 15% of those surveyed wanted the system to be scrapped altogether with 74% saying it should be kept, but modified.

It’s sometimes suggested that Solskjaer’s celebration was the root cause of the knee injury that kept him out for almost three years in the mid-2000s, but that’s a myth.

She wrote: "I did NOT say (and I ask you to please go back and read what I actually said) the season should be declared null and void now. I said that was an option only if the season could not be completed — but of course we hope it will be. What you need to know is that we are doing everything we can to ensure the season does continue — and that all domestic and European matches are played as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.
In the 'Correct Score' market, a 1-0 win for the hosts appeals. Hannover may still be without a home win, but their defensive antics at home have been better than Darmstadt's exploits on the road. If they can defend as they have done in either of their last two at HDI-Arena, then the hosts can edge out their low-scoring visitors.

Estudiantes Rio Cuarto will host Barracas Central for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts have the motivation to the victory in this game. Estudiantes are more ambitious team in this campaign. True, they have highly variable results in recent times. In any case, the hosts want to win. They want to stay in the race for fighter range. Also, we have Barracas Central who's is one of the outsiders in this league. They are currently bottom of the table. I think, the visitors have little chance. They are not convincing team. They have low potential in attack. My pick - Estudiantes to win.
Since the start of November, only Alexander-Arnold (six) has more Premier League assists than Moutinho (five). Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in eight of their past 10 Premier League meetings with Aston Villa, including the past three - and have won their past two by an aggregate score of 7-0.

A 1-1 draw at home to Young Boys was enough to clinch second place in Group G.

Juventus Managua fc which suffered a heavy defeat on the road to Managua is here to host Walter Ferreti fc. The host have conceded four goals last match of their head to head and only to score a single score to make it five goals per match so I expect this match to produce more goals. The host have won their last home game against Deportivo Las Sabanas with five goals to nil. The visitors have lost their last away game to Japala by two goals without a reply, and they have two games so far without a win. I think over 2.5 goals is the best prediction.

There are still two match days and these two are still fighting for participation in the Champions League after Bavaria once again claimed the championship title. Dortmund can make the runner-up clear with a win, after the miserable 0-2 at home against Mainz, reparation is in any case announced.
He's a quick healer and he'll play through some pain, definitely, if he's capable and it's not a bad, bad injury, but we've seen that he's struggled lately. But that's been more when he's been tired. He wasn't on long enough to be tired so it might be something that just happened there and then. United are the only side to have taken points from Liverpool in the league this season as they held them to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford in October.
He could still cost around £80 million despite currently running down his deal. Paper Round’s view: Sane has the remaining few months of the season to prove his fitness. If he does that, he will likely be included in Germany’s squad for Euro 2020. An impressive tournament there could attract attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, and might help Manchester City raise a decent amount for him instead of losing him for nothing in the summer of 2021.
Juventus still lead the table by six points but it's Inter Milan not Lazio who are their main challengers now. Lazio have hit a run of poor form just at the wrong time. Three of their last four league games have been lost, seeing them slump to fourth and eight behind Juventus. A win here would reduce that gap to five points and they have already beaten Juventus 3-1 at home this season. They'd long to return to that kind of form this weekend. That's not looking likely though and the tip here is for a home win.

Zlatan does it very openly, speaks very confidently - and at times it is arrogance, but that is what he is. He used to be like that on a daily basis and would ask me questions such as: 'What is Didier Drogba like?' I would go into detail about what he is good at and Zlatan would be like, 'He is not as good as me' and would make you laugh. They were both very professional on and off the field. The way they looked after their bodies with recovery, knowledge of nutrition.
Until the evening of February 29 according to Vietnam time, Serie A announced to postpone 5 matches in round 26, including the epic match between Juventus and Inter Milan.

However, the indictment does not specify who was behind the alleged bribery. Despite years of suspicion over how they won the vote, Qatar and Russia have always denied any wrongdoing, and both were effectively cleared by Fifa's own investigation in 2017. But Fifa may find itself under renewed pressure to reopen an inquiry into how the votes were won. The Qatar organising committee and Fifa have been approached for comment.
Shrewsbury have also struggled to win of late, winning none of their last four league matches, but much like the hosts, they're no easy team to get the better of. Like Fleetwood, the Shrews have lost only two of their last seven.

Through Keegan's astute recruitment, encouragement of an emerging generation of local talents and uncompromising commitment to attacking football, Newcastle became a Premier League force, later labelled 'The Entertainers' for their cavalier style.
