The neighbour and the uncomfortable comparison: Kevin De Bruyne Contrastingly you can look at the limiting of Pogba next to the growth of another, specifically his counterpart in the blue half of Manchester, Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian is not necessarily technically or physically superior to Pogba but he is the interpreter of Pep Guardiola's tactical plan.
He (Levy) did a fantastic deal for a player who is free in a few months. And again that money was reinvested in the purchase of Steven, who now has a 5-1/2 year contract with us and has fantastic conditions to be very good for us. Mourinho said Spurs were focusing on short-term goals, while keeping a watchful eye on the future.
Middlesbrough have claimed all of their wins against the league’s lesser lights, with each of those victories coming in 1-0 home wins. They’ve kept a clean sheet in nearly half of their home games, while Stoke have failed to score in 40% of their trips. With Boro winning back to back games here 1-0, we’re backing a repeat on Friday night.
The Spain international, who has netted 12 times in 19 games for the national team, has penned a five-and-a-half year deal at the Estadio de la Ceramica. Local media reports say the fee paid by Villarreal is a club record 25 million euros ($27. Alcacer, who came through the Valencia youth setup before joining Barcelona in 2016, initially joined Dortmund on loan in 2018 before the deal was made permanent.
We were huge underdogs," says former Scotland midfielder Stuart McCall, who had celebrated his 28th birthday a few days earlier by getting thrown into a fountain by his team-mates. Media playback is not supported on this device From the archive: Scotland face Gullit, Van Basten & Bergkamp "We got so near, it was tough losing a goal in the last part of the game like that. I look back at that Dutch side and the actual goal they scored involved Bergkamp, Frank Rijkaard, Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten.
But this welcome victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side in a performance that was a throwback to the Sir Alex Ferguson day, in total control at Old Trafford and taking their chances against a struggling side. Rashford impressed up front by showcasing a wide array of skills, including putting defender Sam Byram on his backside with an outrageous 'elastico'. He was ruthless in front of goal too, taking his tally to 63 goals for United.
The last time Spurs hosted German opposition, Bayern Munich beat them 7-2. Both Tottenham and RB Leipzig only kept two clean sheets from their six group stage matches. RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has scored 25 goals in all competitions this season. The Champions League knockout stages kick off this week and Tottenham have a tricky tie on their hands as they play host to RB Leipzig.
No players have so far objected to contributing some of their wealth to help their clubs at a time when their finances are in peril. But there is now a perception that the PFA has been too slow to agree action, and by failing to take the initiative have ensured a PR disaster for their members, especially after several clubs furloughed non-playing staff. The PFA needs to look after the interests of less well paid players in Leagues One and Two of course.
Put simply, neither of these entities can play football. The simple premise of the game is to put the ball in the other mobs' net more times than the other mob can put it in your net. At the time of writing, neither side are good at doing that. That is unfortunate. What is more unfortunate is that both these sides are completely lifeless.
Seems a little harsh, unless it emerges that one of these club bigwigs took a trip to Wuhan in around December and started coughing on everyone upon their return. There’s also the question of leagues Champions and Europa, which have rather inconveniently been suspended halfway through the completion of rounds.

There are few better things to watch in the game than Kevin de Bruyne at his very best. That was illustrated on Sunday as he put in a masterful display against Arsenal, scoring two goals and providing an assist as Manchester City won 3-0. The Belgium playmaker's contribution means he has now scored or assisted 16 goals in 16 appearances - so is he on course for his best season in a Manchester City shirt? Meanwhile, from bookies' favourite to be relegated to flying highest of the teams that came up from the Championship, Sheffield United are proving the doubters wrong - and then some.
English Premier League ! Newcastle United will play with team Leicester City. Hosts lost last 2 their matches. Their shape is not well. Also they have a problems with players before that match. For example: Clark , Leskelles , Maximen and Ki SO EN are injures. Guests are leaders in the table ( 2 nd place as we see ) .Leicester won last match with West Ham. Their shape is not bad. I want to try them. In this year Leicester won with Newcastle (5 - 0 ) . Hosts are weakest team in this moment. It is not impossible to repeat that result again. My choice for Leicester .
I make this bet here by comparing how these two teams fared in their away games at Lori, Shirak played there first and were down from the first half 1-0 on the scoreboard and did not have a great game but took advantage of the small height of the Lori keeper and scored a late goal with a long shot from near the penalty area a bit of a lofted ball which got past the keeper. But they did not impress me that much, they were much better at home where they defeated Ararat Yerevan and also Noah recently.
Those wins created a six-point gap but then Sunday saw both Bournemouth and Aston Villa get crucial victories. West Ham had Michail Antonio to thank for their weekend win as he scored all four of their goals. That's six in the last four games for him and he'll be hoping for more in the final three fixtures.
Solskjaer also had special praise for 18-year-old Greenwood, who has eased the burden on Rashford's shoulders with nine goals in all competitions. Mason can hit it with both feet and he's an exceptional finisher . Mason for a couple of years," Solskjaer said. I can remember when I was 18 and I wasn't anywhere near playing at the level he is.
Man City have won their last seven FA Cup matches. Fulham beat Premier League opposition (Aston Villa) in the FA Cup third round. Man City are the current holders of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup. Manchester City are back in FA Cup action this week to defend their trophy in a fourth-round fixture against Fulham.
He may opt for a similar selection this weekend, but a pair of intriguing options are available. Firstly, teen star Ansu Fati offers width, goalscoring and a welcome dose of the unpredictable, and his inclusion would add another dimension to the team's otherwise undermanned attack. The real wild card, however, could be former Middlesbrough misfit Martin Braithwaite, who became a surprise emergency signing last week after Ousmane Dembele was sidelined for six months.
Winners of none of their last three matches, the U's are starting to suffer from a lack of goals. They've scored just one in their last three and have scored more than once in just one of their last eight league games. They've also lost two of their last three on the road, losing to both MK Dons and Doncaster, failing to score on both occasions.
Date changed for weather reasons at Cameroon's request. Caf's deputy general secretary Tony Baffoe said: "We have reviewed the period of the competition as requested by the Cameroonian party due to unfavourable climatic conditions during the period initially slated. After listening to the various arguments and viewpoints - and in particular from the Cameroonian meteorological authorities, the coaches and players - the representatives of the Afcon organising committee, which received the mandate from Caf Executive Committee to take the decision, has granted this request.
The league has yet to announce how it plans to rearrange the disrupted fixture list although Italian media have widely reported that the heavyweight clash between Juventus and Inter Milan, postponed from last Sunday, is likely to be one of the matches to go ahead. The Italian government banned all sports events and matches nationwide on Wednesday in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus which has claimed 107 lives in Italy so far, with more than 3,000 confirmed cases.
The work is not about buying, it is about working with the players on the pitch. It is something that is very difficult for us because we have no time to do it. GOAL OF THE SEASON CONTENDER Chelsea have also struggled for consistency over the festive period, but looked to be on course for victory at the Amex Stadium to follow their success at Arsenal on Saturday.

Ruh Brest will against Energetyk-BDU in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the win for Ruh Brest with margin score is 1 goal. Ruh Brest have great result on last match due to Ruh Brest can beat Dinamo Minsk with score 0-1. Meanwhile, Ynergetyk-BDU have also great result on last match due to Energetyk-BDU can beat Bate Borisov with score 3-1. Nevertheless, my prediction that Ruh Brest can beat Energetyk-BDU on this match due to Ruh Brest have good result in every home match. Beside that Ruh Brest only have 1 lose on last 5 match. Surely Ruh Brest have more chance to win on this match.
today will be playing match between teams Lokomotiv Moskva and bayer Leverkusen. my prediction for this match is away team to win. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons why I chose to play this tip. Away team is at last position in group with 3 points and home team is at 3rd position with same number of points. away team must to win here to get on 3rd position which lead to Europe league and also to have a chance for 2nd place till end of group phase. Leverkusen have better team and they should win here, they simply must to win. Good luck.
Viborg are more likely to win against Hvidovre IF when they are in better shape recently. In particular, Steffen Hojer's army won the last 4/6 matches at home, and they won the last 6/10 matches. And Hvidovre IF has lost the last 6/8 matches away, and they lost 5 of the last 10 matches. Hvidovre IF is in a bad shape. The confrontation history of the two teams shows that in the last 6 away games at Viborg Stadion, Viborg won 4 and lost 2, 3/6 matches ended with more than 2 goals scored. I believe Viborg will win easy this match.
Liverpool have put this game well and truly to bed now.

I am confident (he can have a run of games) but let's see," Mourinho said. Video - Barcelona closing in on Arsenal star – Euro Papers01:36 "We know what he can give to the team. If I focus on the few minutes or matches that he played for us I saw qualities that are very important for a team to play like we do.
Ideally, Baroness Campbell would want the same manager in place for both major tournaments, avoiding an upheavel in the 12 months between them. The FA will need assurances that Neville is willing to commit for that period and agree to a two-year extension to his current contract. Would Neville walk away? Phil Neville has the backing of the FA’s director of women’s football, Sue CampbellNeville was deflated after England's defeat by Spain this month and said he held "honest conversations" with players in the dressing room immediately afterwards.
An alternative or back-up to Anthony Martial at centre-forward would also be welcome and so would a creative midfield playmaker capable of providing the killer passes that Martial and Marcus Rashford could thrive on. Asked about Grealish's performance and whether he felt he was the kind of player United needed, Solskjaer was careful in his choice of words.
Only one of their last 23 have been lost and they'll be confident of getting a second group win from this match. Home form is strong with no losses in their last 11 in all competitions. Only one of their last 12 home games in this competition have been lost, with clean sheets in four of th last five.
