I was convinced Newcastle United would be relegated given the ill-feeling surrounding Steve Bruce's appointment and the apparent miracle performed by Rafael Benitez. Maybe not such a Benitez miracle after all as sound management by Bruce put them in a similar 13th placing without the over-blown reverence reserved for Benitez. Safe and sound. Any chance of a takeover?Pre-season prediction: 20thWhat I said in August: "When will the torture end for Newcastle supporters? It may get worse before it gets better.
Manchester United claimed a crucial Premier League win at Chelsea in another game in which the video assistant referee played a key role. Harry Maguire did not receive a red card after appearing to kick Michy Batshuayi, while Kurt Zouma's volley was ruled out by VAR for a push. Substitute Olivier Giroud nodded in but that too was disallowed for offside. Anthony Martial and Maguire scored headed goals in each half for United, while Bruno Fernandes struck the post.
Players like Joe Hart, Pablo Zabaleta, Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and David as well have helped us to be who we are as a team and a club. It is difficult to find a replacement but [in Foden], we have a young Manchester City fan who every time he plays gives us something unique and special. In the next decade, or 15 years, he will be an outstanding player for us. I don't have doubts. City and England should build team around him'Foden described his display against Burnley as "my best game in a City shirt," adding: "It is always good to play a part.

Belshina have not won their last six games this season. In those games they have lost four which were against gorodeja, Minsk, Vitebsk and isloch. They will face dinamo brest who have a poor start of the season after losing three of their last six games. They are above relegation places. They faced shakhtyor soligorsk in the cup on Wednesday and lost by four goals despite leading by two goals in the first half.
Mlada Boleslav will against Slavia Praha in match Czech Liga. My prediction this match could be the win or draw for Mlada Boleslav. Mlada Boleslav have good result on last 2 match in club friendlies due to Mlada Boleslav have draw in 2 match. Meanwhile, Slavia Praha have yet match club friendlies after postponed league. Therefore, I think that Mlada Boleslav will more better on this match and beside that Mlada Boleslav have yet lose on last 3 match in league. Meanwhile, Slavia Praha on last 3 match in league that Slavia Praha only have draw in 1 match, 1 match is lose and 1 match is won. Therefore, my predict that Mlada Boleslav have more chance to win or draw on this match.
Getty Images United’s chances of causing a shock all but disappeared when Matic received a second yellow card in the 76th minute for a cynical foul on Ilkay Gundogan. They huffed and puffed, and will take pride from the way they stayed in the tie after such a traumatic first half at Old Trafford. Ultimately, City were too good, and they are now one game away from winning the competition for the third year in a row.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the club need more information before they decide whether forward Mohamed Salah can represent Egypt at the Olympics. The tournament is for under-23 teams but three over-age players are allowed. Salah, 27, is on Egypt's provisional 50-man list for the event, which has its final on 8 August - the first day of the 2020-21 Premier League season. Do I want to lose a player in pre-season? Of course not.
So will Tottenham. After what happened to them against Sheffield United on Thursday, I would expect a reaction from Jose Mourinho's side. It will be a good battle, but I'm going for a Spurs win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: I still have a soft spot for Mourinho but he has lost that air of invincibility and I don't know if losing that magic means he has also lost the power he used to have over his players.
In truth, the Ibrox side controlled large parts of the 1-0 victory over Livingston, even though there was the odd scare with Allan McGregor and his post called into action. The brightest light in a Rangers jersey was the match winner, Scott Arfield. His second-half strike was the Canada midfielder's ninth goal this term, and fourth in three games. Gerrard will be looking for his influence to continue against a stern Braga test on Thursday night.
For the European Champions were off to Qatar for a week, which would mean missing one Premier League game and, perhaps, being pretty knackered for a couple more. A chance to put a little pressure on, perhaps? Fast forward almost a month and, even if Manchester City win today and Sunday, and Liverpool lose to Wolves, the leaders will still be eight points clear.
I was asking him 'what was your process?' especially mentally, 'how did you deal with the pain, how was your comeback?' I wanted to know everything about an injury like this. He helped me a lot. That support was much better for me to feel comfortable. The journey was tough for me but it wasn't all about myself. Family, friends, they suffer as well. It's not the type of thing my parents would like to see - to see me suffering like that.
He’s an outstanding coach and a great guy, left and right of the game. I really enjoyed the games we played – he was my first game in the Premier League so we have a bit of history. Everybody knows that for all the jobs not available and available Mauricio will be in contention. Everything will be fine, but that was a big one.
Jablonec will host Slovan Liberec for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match. I think, the hosts are small favorites in this match. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate on the home field. They tend to score a goal. Also, it should be said, Jablonec were better team in the last mutual matches on the home ground. Of course, the visitors will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium. True, Liberec is not very good team away from home. In any case, I expect, both teams tend to score a goal. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.

Bournemouth are still three points adrift of Premier League safety with two games remaining after their recent revival ended with a battling defeat at Manchester City. After the Cherries had seen a series of chances come and go, David Brooks' late strike gave them the hope of an unlikely point at Etihad Stadium but they fell short of another comeback to boost their fading survival hopes. David Silva had put City ahead with a superb free-kick after just six minutes, curling in from the right-hand corner of the box via the underside of the bar.
KEY MOMENTS 12’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NO! Busquets plays a wonderful long pass over the top for Messi, his touch was exceptional and finishes into the back of the net, but it's called back for offside. GOAL! Barcelona 1-0 Alaves: There's the opening goal and it had been coming! It's Griezmann who has broken the deadlock! Suarez found the Frenchman 12 yards out from goal and he made no mistake in guiding a right-footed finish into the bottom right-hand corner of the Alaves net.
Perez, whose three previous league goals for Leicester came in a 9-0 rout of Southampton last month, found the net from close range after Vardy broke through on the right flank. Vardy slotted home a penalty at the second attempt. The English striker's initial attempt from the spot was saved but James Maddison's rebound was chalked off by VAR for encroachment.
When you're signing players, you do look at it and if they're going away to the Cup of Nations, sometimes you think: 'I'll give this one a miss. I've lost contracts because of the tournament'Further down the footballing pyramid, the move could also hamper a player's club career. Dagenham & Redbridge defender Gabriel Zakuani - a former DR Congo captain and Peterborough, Northampton and Gillingham player - says he missed out on signing for clubs in the past because he would be away for so long during the season.
They host FC Slutsk who are in third place but only two points above them. The home side got their season off to a poor start with a 1-0 home defeat by Zhodino. Perhaps not too bad though, considering their opponents now top the league table. They are unbeaten in the league since that opening loss and won their second game 2-0 at Gorodeja.
Celtic has a good result from first leg, 1-1, tonight they will play at home ground, and fans expect much better performance from their club. FC Copenhagen is not an easy opponent, they controlled the ball possession most of the time in the first leg, and they will not to surrender without strong resistance, their major goal in this duel will be to avoid defeat, and by my opinion, they have quality to score at least one goal, anything can happen in extra time. Santos and N'Doyle will be in attack, visitor was very close to victory in first leg, they even missed a penalty kick. Match without winner
The second leg of Manchester City's last-16 second leg Champions League tie against Real Madrid, scheduled for Tuesday 17 March, has been postponed. The decision, confirmed by Uefa, comes after the Real Madrid squad went into quarantine because of coronavirus.

Dinamo Minsk lost their second league game in a row at the weekend. That took them down to 13th in the Belarus Premier League and this weekend, they host fourth-placed Isloch Minsk.
Eventually. It’s confirmed. Slimani is a red, Llorente’s back in white, but Giroud’s paperwork has fallen through. Another six months on the bench awaits, but it’s okay, he’ll be fine for France’s Euro 2020 squad anyway. Cavani finally surfaces on Neymar’s Instagram. Il reste, reads the caption. He stays.
Despite their good form, Melbourne City haven’t been able to keep a clean sheet since the opening day draw with Melbourne Victory and always look like conceding. They should have enough to win this weekend but we can certainly see Perth Glory getting on the scoresheet and putting the Melbourne City defence under pressure. The attacking talent of Jamie Maclaren should see the hosts through though and we’re predicting a 3-1 win for Melbourne City this weekend.
Liverpool are set to let Adam Lallana leave in the summer when the England midfielder's contract runs out. There are no talks taking place between the European champions and the 31-year-old over a new deal and he will be available on a free transfer.

When I see people speaking. He's trying to do his best, it's normal until Jan. It is a normal consequence of the situation. For a few matches people are saying he's playing his last game. Eriksen plays tomorrow. Mourinho said the eighth-placed club are also on the lookout for a striker with their talisman Harry Kane ruled out until April due to a hamstring injury.
Heading to the game, Norwich have managed 10 points and Arsenal have 18. Norwich managed a third win of the season in their last match, beating Everton 2-0 away and they will be seeking a second straight win here, which could see them rise from the relegation zone. This season, in 14 matches across all competitions, Norwich have managed just three wins, and 10 losses.
35 match the day of the Spanish la Liga 2 where Albacete will receive las palmas. The two teams stand close in the general Standings. only 6 points separates them in the standings. Albacete has 6 draws in 17 home games. las palmas has the same number of draws on the road this season. Las Palmas is here in my opinion as a favorite in this game. They came out well from the Corona break and have been unbeaten for three games in a row. The last two games were even won. Already the team has won the first leg 3-2 and double over Albacete won't be a hard task as there will be no fans.
There is an etiquette but you get the gist of what someone is saying," Ferdinand told BT Sport. It came close, there were discussions with my agent. Barcelona had touched base.

The Finnish press certainly thought so. On the plane, Nevin spotted a picture of himself on the back page of a fellow passenger's newspaper and asked him to translate the caption. Apparently, it said 'Nevin played really well, very skilful, he's a Brazilian in an Indian body' because I was darker skinned than them. But after that slight notoriety, I was back to Clyde. Not that Nevin was without offers.
Central Coast Mariners are playing very poor and didn't start the season so as they expected, with just one win in the past five games didn't show any good form from them to compete with the Giants here. After beating Perth Glory their woes continued with many losses to be mentioned against Melbourne City and Adelaide United, they allow a lot of goals and with 38 games without a clean sheet is an A-League record. A clean sheet will not be possible here as I can see.
It's not easy for anyone, and to be called out is not fair for me. Mistakes are being made and have been made by loads of people and that's how we learn as well. Now it's about making better decisions. I think we all want to help the NHS, the communities. FA chief: Clubs could die because of coronavirus Greg Clarke, the chairman of England's Football Association, has warned that clubs across the country could vanish as their finances collapse under the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
Liverpool top the group with 10 points, Napoli are on nine and Salzburg are on seven setting up a dramatic end to the group, similar to last season when the Reds beat the Italians to progress on their way to winning the trophy.

Manager Nick Cushing to leave Manchester CityGoodison Park to host WSL Merseyside derby Pauline Bremer's double against Everton took her tally to nine league goals for the seasonThe Gunners can re-open a three-point cushion with victory at Brighton on Saturday and, in a tight title race, City - who registered 24 shots during the game - could well rue their failure to score more. Having enjoyed a first-minute let-off when City keeper Ellie Roebuck diverted Hannah Cain's shot on to the bar, Germany striker Bremer turned the game the hosts' way.
So, here is some more of it, after yet another weekend of "VAR controversy".

But the Italian football federation (FIGC) has now set a precedent by accepting Serie A might not finish as planned and suggesting a playoff system might be used instead to determine the champions and relegated teams once games can go ahead again. As more governments impose travel restrictions and it becomes more and more difficult to organise games, other competition organisers may also see that as a solution.

The Guimaraes team is in seventh place with a record of 10 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, while the Sporting team is in fourth place with a record of 13 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses. The season for both teams continues with a high voltage game.

It would be a good result for Sporting if they manage a draw.
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are "not used to doing these things" after his side won at Real Madrid for the first time to take control of their Champions League last-16 tie. Isco had put Real ahead but a Gabriel Jesus strike and a Kevin de Bruyne penalty secured a 2-1 first-leg win. It is the first time City have won at a major European team in the knockout stage of the competition. To win at the Bernabeu is a great satisfaction for us," Guardiola said.
