Aston Villa manager admits Man City are 'massive favourites' for League Cup final 'You didn't learn' - Guardiola riposte to reporter over City tactics Aston Villa v Manchester City - LIVE League Cup final updates See alsoAston Villa v Manchester City - LIVE League Cup final updates Grealish represents something of an enigma, misunderstood even.
Mohamed Salah somehow scored from a tight angle - despite failing with so many easier chancesBut perhaps he was just finding his range because the next time he had a chance - his most difficult of the night - he settled matters in style. When Salzburg defender Jerome Onguene headed Jordan Henderson's long pass into his path, Salah was able to take the ball in his stride, leaving the keeper for dead.
Celtic's players want the chance to secure a record-equalling ninth straight Scottish top-flight title on the pitch, says captain Scott Brown. On Thursday, Uefa paved the way for the SPFL to exercise its authority to call the Premiership campaign early amid the coronavirus crisis. That would crown Celtic as champions as they currently lead Rangers by 13 points with eight games left. I would love to see the league finish," Brown told Sky Sports.
The SPFL has confirmed Rangers' prize money resolution was rejected for being legally "ineffective". And the governing body denied they failed to offer the club assistance. Rangers, who will resubmit their proposal, claim they have had "numerous reports" from Scottish sides of "attempts to coerce and bully them" into backing the SPFL's own resolution. All 42 member clubs have until 1700 BST on Friday to vote on whether to end the Championship and Leagues One and Two.

Michel Hidalgo, who led France to their first major trophy at Euro 1984, has died aged 87 of natural causes. Hidalgo had been ill for a number of years and his family told a French radio station he had died "naturally of exhaustion" at home in Marseille. Hidalgo was coach of Les Bleus from 1976 to 1984, leaving the job after hosts France beat Spain 2-0 in the final of the European Championship. Two years before, France lost to West Germany in the World Cup semi-finals.
Nine league titles at one club - the statsDavid Alaba and Thomas Muller win their ninth Bundesliga championship title, equalling the record set by Franck Ribery last season. Hansi Flick is the third person to win the Bundesliga title for Bayern both as a player and a manager, after Franz Beckenbauer and Niko Kovac. Flick won the Bundesliga title as a Bayern player in 1985-86, 1986-87, 1988-89 and 1989-90.
What are the financial implications?Funnily enough, this is the least important aspect. Everyone knows City have rich owners. Everyone also knows the difficulty Manchester United have had trying to get into the Champions League in recent times. Arsenal have missed out three seasons in a row. Chelsea weren't in it last season. Liverpool failed to qualify as recently as 2015. Yes, their bottom line will miss out on a few million quid but that won't hurt them so much.
Managua is pretty close to winning this league and I don't think that they will fail to win against Jalapa in this clash. I think that they will be highly motivated to win and it will be a victory with at least one goal advantage. The hosts scored 17 goals and conceded 7 in 7 matches played at home. Jalapa on away scored 6 goals and conceded 10. They will take a place in playoffs so they don't have to play for a win here. I think that they will lose against Managua like in the previous seasons. I pick the Asian handicap here
Fiorentina U19 will host Genoa U19 for the Cup. Hosts probably are favorites on the home field. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate in this game. However, Fiorentina U19 is not very good in this season. Also, they have big fluctuations. Also, I believe, this is a very unpredictable team. In any case, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Genoa U19 who's is also very average team in this season. However, Genoa U19 have a more offensive team. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors have a real chance to win.
But with that trio out injured, the more senior frontline, including Willian, appeared rejuvenated on Sunday and all scored. Those will be lessons that Lampard, still in his second season of management, will learn from. He is also acutely aware of how much more Chelsea need to improve. A quick look at the Premier League table - where Liverpool are 34 points better off than his team - or the sobering first-leg Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, or the recent form of Manchester United, means he still thinks his team are underdogs for a top-four place.
Well things are pretty clear here for sure. Opava are at the 15th place and have no chances for saving himself so I expect them to save their strength for the rest of the championship as they will play at the relegation group. Also their coach said that they are going to come out on the field with mixed squad until the end of the season(4 rounds remaining).
Fans will be looking forward to getting reacquainted with a talismanic striker that scored 42 goals in 61 games and winning a league title and an Italian Super Cup before leaving in 2012 to join Paris St Germain. However, he is now seven years older with a lot more miles on the clock. That said, his 31 goals in 31 games last season with LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer would suggest that his power and precision are still there, even if his pace is not.
Aves are on the rock bottom without any chance of survival. Like that wasn't enough they have a lot of injured players as same as the team left 3 key players including their first GK and their top scorer. Also they are facing a huge financial troubles as the stuff and the players haven't received salaries. Belenenses on the other hand are still not secure and have to win a couple of more points and today the have the perfect opponent if u ask me. They have more quality, are in better shape and the momentum is at their side for sure. The odds are too good to be missed
Sparta is very attacking minded side chasing after the 3rd place at this moment, they won last round with no less than 4-1 away from home at Karvina coming from 1-0 behind in that encounter while in their first game after the restart they lost 2-1 at home to Plzen but same Plzen side won 7-1 a week ago at home against Mlada Boleslav so little that Sparta could do about that defeat as Plzen is in top shape. This while Sparta scored 29 goals in 13 home games this season even though their record reads just 6-3-4 as they also conceded 19 times.

They also lost 6 of the last 7 away matches. While Kayserispor are currently on bottom of the table but Played quite well in the recent matches. They won last two home matches and unbeaten from last five home matches as well. They also Scored in all the last five home matches. Kayserispor also defeated Genclerbirligi in three of the last four head to head matches .
Mentality monsters indeed!Ilyas Najib: This Liverpool team would beat any Premier League team from any era. They made a very good Sheffield United team look very average. Dan Bell: When we look back in 10 years' time we'll be saying this Liverpool side is the best ever Premier league team. Marc Astick: Love it when people say everything has gone right for Liverpool. It's wilful ignorance. Injuries to Fabinho, Alisson, Matip, Lovren, Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The Belgian, who has yet to get going since signing for Real Madrid from Chelsea in the summer, could now be set for another spell on the sidelines, coming off in the second half with another knock. His body language on the bench suggests the news won’t be what Zidane wants to hear especially ahead of big games against Man City and Barcelona.
We’re confident that both teams will score this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams head into the match in good form and Utrecht have been very strong at home while their guests have been impressive on the road, and we believe the pair will cancel each other out on Saturday.
BERLIN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Paris St Germain coach Thomas Tuchel defended a change in system against Borussia Dortmund despite a 2-1 loss in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday. Tuchel fielded a 4-3-3 system but while it piled bodies into midfield to keep Dortmund forward Erling Haaland under control it also left their own forward Kylian Mbappe far too isolated.
If City harbour any serious ambitions of winning the Champions League then they have to kick on and start performing the way we know they can before they face Real Madrid at the end of the month. West Ham will also have benefited from some time training together, especially at the back. The one thing Hammers boss David Moyes will have been working on is defensively, because they were woeful at the back last time out in their draw with Brighton.
We have been in self-isolation for almost four weeks. The truth is that it gets boring and we are waiting for some decision regarding the championship," the 25-year-old Masoero, who joined the Plovdiv-based club in 2018, said. It is still not clear when the Bulgarian championship will resume. As of Tuesday, the Balkan country had 565 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus and 22 deaths.
Nottingham Forest will play at home against Middlesbrough, another tight match from the England Championship. The hosts are one of the best teams in the championship, but recently they looked little bit shaky and seemed not in a very good form as they managed to win only one of their last 4 matched, but I see them very motivated here coming into this match. On the other hand, visitors are near to the relegation zone and they're one of the worst away team. So I think that they're not going to make a surprise today against the home side Nottingham Forest
Really, ceteris paribus, Tottenham's awful showing against Chelsea should be dominating the coverage of their 2-0 loss on Sunday. Heung-min Son's petulant kick out at Toni Rudiger should also be fairly high on the news agenda - world's nicest bloke gets sent off again for the third time in nine months for violent conduct (even if one was rescinded).
Barca were given permission to sign a forward player following an injury to France international Ousmane Dembele, but the rules have been accused of unfairly favouring the champions as Leganes cannot themselves sign a replacement. Barca matched the Denmark striker's contracted €18m release clause, meaning Leganes had no say over whether or not he left.
Shakhtyor's matches have been low scoring games so far in 2020. They have played 5 official games so far this season and all 5 games had a total of 2 or less goals. At home Shakhtyor have conceded only a total of 1 goals in the last 6 games.
Chelsea have lost only two of their past 20 games against Leicester in all competitions (W13 D5 L2), although they are winless in four against the Foxes (D3 L1). Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool highlights Key stat: This is Chelsea's 18th FA Cup quarter-final in the Premier League era (since 1992-93), more than any other side. They've progressed from six of their past seven, losing the other in 2016 away at Everton.
Much is at stake when these two clubs meet on Monday night. We expect Istanbul Basaksehir to get the job done but it may take a while to wear down Konyaspor. Back the score to be level at the break and the visitors to be in front at full-time.
Nottingham Forest is at 7th place on standings, but they not playing so well at home ground, most of their points they won as visitors. In last round they won 0-2 against Hull, and in this duel against Wigan, their fans hopes to see second victory in a row, but they will need to prove their quality on the pitch. Host will be without defensive midfielder S. Sow, but most things will depend on their best scorer attacker Grabban, he scored both goals in last round. Wigan plays well in defense, but lack of efficiency cause that they are without victory at away after twelve rounds, they played a draw on last four rounds, and now is time for a victory. Wigan will to rely on counterattacks, Williams will probably to be in attack. Wigan is not without chances to win in this duel.
While they have conceded on a pretty regular basis, the fact that they have scored 14 times in their last five outings shows that they are not to be underestimated. However, they know that there is work to be done as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven matches and have conceded 13 times over the same period. However, with Bristol Rovers confirming that they have given permission for Manager Graham Coughlan to speaktoMansfield Town, it will be interesting to see if the hosts can maintain their recent form.

Bournemouth attack! Fraser goes down the left and crosses well; the ball is nudged away from Solanke by Xhaka, but as the ball drops, Wilson gets a good look at it, and clouts a volley that Martinez does well to beat away at his near post. Bournemouth win another corner and Martinez comes flying out, gets nowhere near the ball, and Simpson is there! But, under pressure, all he can do it he meets it well, which he does .
Should Derek McInnes's side go on to seal a European place or even a trophy in the Scottish Cup, McGinn has shown he can play a big role. Media playback is not supported on this device 'Verve & intelligence' won game for Aberdeen - McInnes Holt rues Saints pitch as Livi squander chancesGary Holt lamented the "terrible" state of the McDiarmid Park pitch, but once he gets into the video analysis of his side's 1-0 defeat to the Perth side, he might be more concerned by the lack of chances created by his strikers.
Players would accept that. One player might say, 'I can afford a 30%'; another might say, 'I can only afford 5%'. Personally, I'd have no problem with some of us paying more. I don't think that would cause any dressing room problems. Whatever way you look at it, we're easy targets. What gets lost is that half our wages get taken by the taxman. Money that goes to the government, money that is helping the NHS.
A run of four matches without a win was finally put to an end midway through last month and now Sivasspor have back-to-back victories under their belt. They need to have momentum on their side to take on a Galatasaray side on an eight-game winning streak. The most high-profile Galatasaray victory in that sequence was their 3-1 triumph at Fenerbahce, one of several defeats that appears to have knocked Fener out of title contention.
We are talking about the past but what happened has happened," he said when asked about the fines. Now, we are concentrating on the present and on the pitch. The media silence helped us concentrated on the pitch but has also stopped giving air time to those who have talked all sorts of nonsense," said Ancelotti, who added that he had never considered resigning.
When the former England captain signed for Derby in August, they had beaten Huddersfield Town away from home in what was the Terriers' first Championship game since dropping out of the top flight. Monday's win against Charlton was their first victory in eight games. Rooney, who won the Premier League five times, the Champions League, the FA Cup and three League Cups in a 13-year career with Manchester United, has been on the bench in his capacity as a coach for seven of those matches.
David Silva, sorely missed by the champions in their recent defeat against Liverpool, highlighted his worth with a deft backheel to find Raheem Sterling, who curled in for his 14th goal this season. However, before City could assert their dominance the Magpies equalised through full-back Jetro Willems, who received a square pass from Miguel Almiron before calmly slotting past the Brazilian keeper.
Serie A. Team Fiorentina will play at home stadium with team Milan. Hosts won last their match with team Sampdoria. Their shape is not bad. Last h2h match Fiorentina won with our guests. Team Milan show a different results. As we know that their shape is not optimal. Statistics talking that Milan havent a draw games ( from home ) in this season. Both teams have the same situation where they need points. A draw will be a good result for both clubs. My bet will be on hosts with AH +0.25. It is more better bet on this event. I recommend to try this bet with me !
TALKING POINT Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for real (again)? When he took over at United on an interim basis a year ago, a brilliant run of victories for Solskjaer secured him the job full-time. Since then it’s been a mixed bag of results for the club, leading to much sneering criticism that it was a sentimental decision that over-promoted the former Molde and Cardiff City manager just because he was a club legend.
