Unbeaten in 7 matches, of which they've won 6, Marseille have real momentum behind them and confidence is very high going into Saturday's game. Also having won their last 5 matches at the Velodrome, whilst scoring at least twice in all of said fixtures, it's fair to say Marseille aren't anticipating many issues as regards dispatching of their struggling visitors this weekend.
He wanted to see me first and was disappointed. The talks went really well, were positive and I was impressed with what he said. I had to make a decision and at one point I was going to Manchester United, I was 90% certain. Then I got a call from Keegan, who wanted to see me again, and I thought 'I am going to go back to Newcastle'. It was a club I always supported. Do I have any regrets? No, I would do the same again.
Chelsea are a side on the rise too. The Blues, led by club legend Frank Lampard, looked like they would be in for a rocky ride back in August as they were thrashed 4-0 by Manchester United, but things have drastically improved since then.
Teams in this league, are half amateur and their players are often very young, or seniors that are finishing their career from the two top league clubs. However, there are few squad that are going to challenge promotion, and Ostrovets may be little underestimated in this match, and also in whole competition.
Both clubs disagreed with calls to switch the game to Madrid, but will share the same hotel in the lead-up to Wednesday game and travel at the same time two hours before kick-off amid security concerns. Zidane said: "That's something different for us. We've been told that we have to leave together and that's what we'll do. There's nothing else to explain. The important thing is that the game goes ahead.

He [Bartomeu] talked about the other clubs and Guardiola and said when he was at Barcelona he was amazing. He said Guardiola was the greatest manager but told me 'if you want to enjoy your life you want to play in Barcelona'. Sometimes when I'm driving to the training ground you see the weather and there are these moments when you think 'I always wanted this as a kid, it's a dream' - I'm really happy.
Lechia is playing good this season and still have chances to get the qualification to the Europa league by the Polish Cup. The team has remained undefeated in 4 of the last 5 game and have 49 points while the Jagiellonia have remained undefeated in 4 games and won against Cracovia. The hosts played against Legia at home in the last game, while Lechia does not present a stable form. It is hard to expect many chances from guests in Bialystok, especially that this season they have already lost 3: 0 here, and in Gdańsk they only managed to draw a goalless. The only obstacle for Jaga may be injuries in the team, so a draw cannot be ruled out in this match.
Odion Ighalo says he was so desperate to join Manchester United he took a pay cut to make the deal happen and did not sleep the night it was agreed. The 30-year-old Nigeria forward has joined United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season. The ex-Watford player says his mum cried at the news and there were parties on the street where he grew up. A few other clubs had shown interest, I said: 'Please, just pick United, if it's going to be possible,'" he said.
West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini says he never discusses the future with the club's hierarchy. The 66-year-old Chilean was appointed in May 2018 but has come under increasing pressure with five defeats in the last six league games. The Hammers are only one place above the relegation zone with three wins from their opening 13 matches. You must be clear, it is game by game," said Pellegrini before Saturday's visit to Chelsea.
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace TV channel, live stream and 27 Dec 2023 — When is Chelsea vs Crystal Palace? The game is set to start at 7.30pm at Stamford Bridge in west London. It is one of three Premier League games ...
None of the top four in the Premier League made any late moves at the conclusion of a low-key month, with some of the players who had been linked with possible deadline day moves staying put after proposed deals failed to materialise. France's World Cup winner Olivier Giroud remains at Chelsea despite reported interest in the ex-Arsenal striker from several clubs surprisingly including London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
That being said, Sean Dyche won’t have too many complaints about how this season is panning out. The Clarets are an impressive 8th in the Premier League at the time of writing, just two points adrift of 5th place Tottenham. The mid-table battle is fiercely close though, meaning they are only four points off the precariously positioned Everton in 17th.
Nimes head to the clash placed 18th on 27 points while Marseille are second on 52 points. For Nimes, the 2-1 loss to third placed Rennes prevented them from pulling away from the red zone and now they have to do it all over again against a side with fading title ambitions. They conceded really late after they seemed to be forcing a draw, having scored early, though a second half red card to Tony Briancon didn’t help.
There was some controversy around Stephen O'Donnell's equaliser as the ball appeared to hit Rory MacKenzie on the arm, and Alfredo Morelos has a goal ruled out for a push before Eamonn Brophy lashed in the winner for Kilmarnock. Gerrard said he believed Morelos' strike was "legitimate" but dismissed the suggestion of handball. That's not a handball. That's us clutching at straws," he said. It's a soft cross that's going away from goal.
Odds on over 2,25 in this match from Russian Second league is more than ok for me and of course, I must try that. So, Shinik is team who is in very good form, because they are won in last round as a guests, 3-1, while in last official duel against Rotor Volgograd, they are won in one fantastic match, 3-2, also as a guests. Rotor is in last few weeks played pretty offensive and this team is in last six matches, even four times played with three or more goals. I will try that and this time, and that is ok option.
Matches between Sutton and Fylde tend to be hotly-contested fixtures. The last three results of their encounters were draws and the two before that saw each club take one victory apiece by the odd goal. We don't see much between them. We predict a draw.
The mach from England league between Crystal Palace and Liverpool is a good soccer match from the premier league England where we look see a good soccer match with more goals and can do the best pick get a great new points to our order.

With Norwich still reeling, Baldock put the visitors ahead in the 52nd minute, twisting and turning before firing the ball past goalkeeper Tim Krul and into the bottom left corner after collecting a pass from John Lundstram. Norwich midfielder Alexander Tettey had earlier marked his return to the starting lineup with the opening goal in the 27th minute, blasting a low shot past goalkeeper Dean Henderson after the Blades failed to clear Emiliano Buendia's corner.
Did Solskjaer enjoy the win more, or the head-pat? And aren’t United weird? Wins over Chelsea, Leicester, Spurs, and the only team to take a point off Liverpool; losses to Newcastle, West Ham, Bournemouth, and strange draws all over the place. A midfield obviously improved by the return of Scott McTominay: is he actually good? Like, properly good? Is Fred? The Warm-Up doesn’t know the answer to these questions, but the three points mean we probably get a little longer to find out if Solskjaer does.
The Spaniard previously praised both managers in 2018. Arsene always treated me like a son and it was amazing but the closest anyone else has been to him was Jose," said Fabregas. The way he treated me, the way he made me feel, how he let me be a leader of the Chelsea team from day one and believed in me, this was fantastic and will always stay with me.
The Bergamo hospital that now bears his name is at the centre of Italy's coronavirus outbreak. The hospital has had to turn patients away while military trucks have been called in to transport coffins to crematoriums outside the city. In the province of Bergamo (population 1. March. Zaccharia Cometti, a goalkeeper in that triumphant 1963 squad, died last week. But the tragedy has mobilised Atalanta fans.
Newcastle and United States defender DeAndre Yedlin says his grandfather is "glad" he does not currently live in the US as he would fear for his grandson's life "as a young black man". Protests have been held in the US and worldwide after George Floyd, an unarmed black man, died while being pinned down by a white police officer. Yedlin, from Seattle, moved to England to join Tottenham in 2015. The 26-year-old said his grandfather's text message "has not left his mind".
Blooming and Destroyers will face each other in the upcoming match in the Clausura in Bolivia. Blooming this season have the following results: 9W, 2D and 11L. Meanwhile Destroyers have 3W, 5D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The study takes into account a player's performance for club and country, age, position, league of employment and economic level of the releasing club when estimating https://football-observatory. IMG/pdf/note01en. Europe's 'Big Five' leagues. As many as 11 players out of the top 20 with an estimated value of at least 100 million euros play for Premier League clubs, it added, with Tottenham Hotspur striker and England captain Harry Kane ranked sixth with a value of 150 million.
Their form on the road is a bit of a worry and will certainly have to improve if Monday's hosts are to cement themselves as a top-two team, but fortunately, their efforts at home have been very good. Stuttgart have won six out of eight at Mercedes-Benz Arena, including each of their last two, both of which saw them net three goals. A repeat of either of their last two attacking performances at this venue would surely be enough to see off a Nurnberg side that has leaked plenty of goals on the road.
However, the club successfully argued that New Balance could not match Nike's offer with respect to marketing and distribution, with the judge ruling New Balance's offer "less favourable to Liverpool" compared to Nike's offer. We welcome Nike into the LFC family as our new official kit supplier and expect them to be an incredible partner for the club, both at home and globally as we continue to expand our fanbase," the club's managing director and chief commercial officer Billy Hogan said in a statement.
That was another lousy effort in a long back catalogue of lousy Hearts efforts. This game had the look of an annihilation in the offing. Celtic can't stop winning and can't stop scoring and Hearts' much-discussed high press looked like offering meat and drink to Celtic's ruthless attackers. It turned out to be a comfortable win for Celtic, but only after close to half an hour of solid stuff from Hearts.
You have to be careful with being too reactionary and (the) ban lifted, defeat at Everton. Just as people at the start of the season were saying 'we've got all these young boys, we don't need any players'. At) a club like Chelsea, it's a balance. You have a strong squad which I believe we have, but you have to look at 'can we strengthen?' And there will be times.
Gimnasia are managed by Diego Maradona. However, please remember that because this did not happen within the confines of Europe it is not newsworthy. For those interested in non-newsworthy information, Boca Juniors beat their arch-rivals River Plate to the title, which is, of course, of no significance.

There won’t be a huge difference between the two sides and we can see this being a very tight contest, settled by the one goal and we’re predicting Wycombe to come away with a 1-0 win. A slender win would be fine by the away fans and would carry on their excellent defensive form.
But then, why on earth would you do that? Or indeed get rid of any Leicester players at the moment?An away game at Brighton this weekend is followed by fixtures against Everton (h), Watford (h), Aston Villa (a) and Norwich (h). So Ben Chilwell, Ricardo Pereira and James Maddison are worth a look. If you want a more left-field choice, how about Harvey Barnes? He's starting regularly and looking a threat every time.

I will take the over 3.5 goals bet here in this encounter because the guests have been the weakest club in this reserve league with a record of just 0-1-7 they have conceded 24 goals an average of 3 goals conceded per game played, they even lost at home with 6-0 against Dinamo Minsk 2, lost 3-2 away at 2nd placed FC Minsk 2 last round but scored two wonder goals from outside the box following excellent long range shots, so perhaps they will be encouraged to shoot more here as well and score some goals as well, because their defense is quite weak.
Without a win in 9 competitive matches, of which they've lost 6, Konyaspor are in dire form and confidence is at rock bottom prior to Monday's clash. The hosts have also failed to win any of their last 4 home league matches and having scored just a single goal over said fixtures, their prospects don't look the brightest as regards returning to winning ways in this game.
Spurs have now won just one of their last five league games and are nine points adrift of the Champions League places in eighth spot. Next up, Jose Mourinho's men will look to get back on track in an FA Cup replay at home to Middlesbrough before visiting Watford on Saturday, while this imperious Liverpool side host Manchester United on Sunday.
But all that means Liverpool should leak goals down his side, and they don’t. So he must be doing something right going backwards, too. In fact, you could probably argue that Alexander-Arnold is Liverpool’s most essential player. Perhaps Van Dijk or Alisson are more important when it comes to getting results.
FC Minsk made a good start to the new season with a 3-1 away win. They host Dinamo Minsk in this derby clash and their opponents have been disappointing in pre-season. Four games have been lost in a row and they will be determined to improve on that sorry statistic. Place a double chance bet on FC Minsk to win or draw this fixture.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last five home league games. Burnley haven't won at Manchester City since 1961 Burnley have only score 14 away league goals this season. Manchester City know they won't be retaining their Premier League title but will want to keep their current second place.
For the first time in their history, Lazio have scored at least two goals in nine Serie A games in a row. From 2000 onwards, only two teams recorded a longer run in a single top-flight season: Inter (10 in 2006/07) Atalanta (10 in 2019/20). They have a great chance to equal the record, with Ciro Immobile in great form. Immobile is the third player in Serie A history to score at least 17 goals in his team’s first 14 seasonal league games, after Antonio Angelillo (21 in 1958/59) and Felice Placido Borel (17 in 1933/34).
But the club spent a staggering 300 million euros ($331 million) on replenishing their squad and many of their new arrivals are not stepping up, especially 126-million euro man Joao Felix, who has failed to score for over two months. We're worried but now is the time to dig in and stay united," added midfielder Saul Niguez.
It is a cesspit stirred by rhetoric and the rhetoric being liberally thrown around at the upper echelons of public office are a complete and utter disgrace. Racism is a disease that blights our society and there has been a disgraceful rise in racists behaving like the moronic racists they are inside and outside our stadiums.
When it comes to the Europa League, Sevilla have mastered the tournament well; they go to this game on four straight wins in the competition. They are top of Group A with an unassailable lead and that says all about their quality. With Qarabag’s run away from home, compared to Sevilla’s at home, we expect the Spaniards to dominate this clash. Sevilla have scored two or more in five of six Europa League matches and have four clean sheets in the last five home matches. We are backing the hosts for a win here, and leading in both halves can also be an interesting choice.
While exact causes have not been determined, Grey believes repetitive heading is a major factor in dementia and warned that blaming old leather footballs is a "red herring". The balls are waterproof and lighter now but they are being kicked at much higher velocity," he said. Think of the kinetic energy imparted on the head.
Now we open the bar two hours prior to the coach leaving so fans can have a drink. We're hoping to run three coaches to the cup tie because there's a lot of interest. This period isn't the proudest moment in Coventry City's history. It would be nice if they came back to Coventry. The away team at homeSaturday's fourth-round tie could be a disorientating experience for all involved. Birmingham - officially the away team - will use the visitors' dressing room at St Andrew's - their home for more than a century.
