Our club, Aston Villa and the Premier League are doing everything they can to find out who this despicable individual is, and one can only hope he will get identified and called to account.

Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It seems as though everything is very down at Bournemouth.

Things are similar for Trabzonspor as they come into the game with nothing to play for but this is because they have no chance of qualification, or even finishing off the foot of the table.

Jalapa will against Juventus Managua in match Nicaragua Premier League. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals. Jalapa have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Jalapa only can make score is 2 goals. However, Juventus Managua have great result on last 3 match in league due to Juventus Managua can make total score is 11 goals. Therefore, I think this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Juventus Managua make much score on last 3 match. Moreover on last 5 match head to head on both team that total score over 2.5 goals already happen in 4 match.

The Doncaster-born player added: "I knew after a month [of Mourinho joining] I was never going to play. It was difficult going out to train knowing I wasn't going to play.

I have to be honest, I thought I would continue playing.

I believe the visitor we try their best to win this match because they have been without a win for long time but the host their best to defend their net.

Osasuna are the better team overall but for this game they have way too many missing.They will be without Chimy Avilla, Garcia D, Oier , Ibanez R, Martinez Calvo J, Roncaglia F and Ruben due to illness. On the other hand Leganes will be without Bustanzia U, Carillo G , Szymanowskia A, Rodriguez O...Given the performances both teams are showing and the fact that Leganes are in kind of must win situation I think that a draw here is the most realistic option for sure .
