Although Daniel Levy’s savagery might change his mind. Pochettino is likely to be linked with every top job that becomes available in the summer, would he throw that opportunity away for a club with as many structural issues as Arsenal? Mauricio Pochettino Getty Images MIKEL ARTETA Age – 37 Current club – Manchester City (Assistant manager) Next Arsenal manager odds – 5/1 Another former Gunner who doesn’t have much managerial experience.
Frank Lampard faces one of his toughest tests as his Chelsea side host Bayern Munich. His team is inconsistent and tends to let in too many goals including six at home in the group stages. They take on a high-scoring Bayern side who walked away with their group and are top of the Bundesliga. Go for an away victory in this game.
In the league Arsenal are struggling with no win in the last 5 games but in the Europa League they are performing much better with 10 points so far out of 4 games. If Arsenal get at least a draw today they will qualify for the next round of the Europa League. At home Arsenal have an excellent record in the Europa League winning all of the last 7 games conceding only 3 goals.
Smith said "a reaction was needed" prior to kick-off in Burnley and his players responded, creating goalscoring opportunities in both halves and deserving the three points. The Villa boss mixed things up at Turf Moor, starting with a back three and playing Grealish in a more central role going forward and it paid off. Grealish was at the heart of everything positive for Villa, playing three key passes and being involved in both goals.
The news no manager wants to hear, but knows the likelihood is they will at some stage of their career. Often it's expected. When results are poor and supporters are restless, many coaches are just waiting for the inevitable, though it can arrive as a bolt from the blue. There is little consistency to the approach from clubs who move to relieve a manager of their duties. Football is known as a brutal industry, and managers often bear the brunt of that.
Ramon Planes - who used to work at Pochettino's former club Espanyol and now is part of Barcelona's technical department - and club president Josep Maria Bartomeu are both close friends of Pochettino and in constant contact. For them to approach the available Argentine coach, it was probably because they thought they had half a chance of him saying yes. Unfortunately, probably because of his long history with Espanyol, Pochettino has an entire back catalogue of statements he has made proclaiming why he would never take the Barcelona job and the likelihood of him doing so will always be remote.
It is our obsession to look for players who could be the big stars of tomorrow," Perez said at Reinier's presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday. Today we welcome a player who has just turned 18 but has already won the Copa Libertadores with Flamengo, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Sunday, no," Solskjaer told reporters when asked about Pogba's return. Spurs? I can't say now, because I've not been home and seen him, let's see where he's at when he comes back and starts training with us. Every player is allowed to be injured when he's injured and Paul is working hard to get back.
Embrace the underdog' Tyrone Mings is mobbed by fans after Villa's 2-1 extra-time win over Leicester in the semi-finalFor Villa boss Dean Smith, coming up against a team as strong as Manchester City is nothing to fear as his side head to a League Cup final for the first time since 2010. We're massive underdogs against a world-class team," Smith said. But I can only name one or two other teams who wouldn't be underdogs going into the game against City.
As has been mentioned, PSG have a tremendous record over Monaco with wins in each of their last five clashes, three of which came with a clean sheet. We doubt Paris will keep the clean sheet this time as Monaco managed to convert twice against Reims last week, a team with just as many conceded league goals as PSG this season. However, we're still expecting the hosts to come out victorious. Tuchel's men have simply been bloodthirsty recently with so many goals against the likes of Saint-Étienne, Galatasaray and Marseille. They have blown past pretty much every team that has faced PSG with some hope this season and we're backing a similar result here: 3-1 to the champions. Monaco should put together a better fight than usual under Moreno but we're still expecting the hosts to win with ease.
They can consider themselves a little unlucky though as they’ve only conceded 20 shots on goal in those three games and the rate at which they’ve been conceding isn’t sustainable and they would hope that luck would be a little bit more on their side this weekend.
Both teams now with years are having a great battle to avoid relegation but things have changed now and Jelgava are much much better team for sure.Mettalurg LU are still between the worst players at the league and they will fight to avoid relegation for sure. They lost the first two matches from Spartacus with 1-2 and by Liepaja with 3-0 and today they are going to have another difficult match. Jelgava on the other hand at the last 1-2 season are a great team. They are the most pleasant surprise and it looks like this season they will again aim for the top. They won the last 2 matches against Tukums and Daugavpils.
Beijing had kept the pressure on with a 2-1 win over Shanghai Shenhua on Friday with Brazilian Renato Augusto scoring the winner just after the hour mark.

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.
Another match for today from Europa League and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is pretty real to expect. So, Besiktas is team who is favorite in this duel, but they are very problematic this season and generally this team is have a lot of problems. If I'm not wrong, they are won in last two matches just 1-0 and 1-0 but we will see if they will play this match with their strongest team or maybe with combine team. Over is very real here and I will take that. It is more than ok and real.
He is making big progress but still he's not 100% fit," Guardiola added. I think weeks and more (under-23) games will be good. He will feel it first himself because every week he is getting better and after I will try to give him minutes to get back as soon as possible. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions, and a win against City would boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
Hopefully he will get his chance in the March friendlies against Italy and Denmark because he is exactly the kind of player they need this summer. There are a lot of midfielders who can put a tackle in or pop up with a goal but, to progress at Euro 2020, England will need someone willing to get on the ball in difficult areas or when things are not going well in a game. The biggest compliment I can give him as a player is that Jack is always that man.

Technology controversy dominated an otherwise fairly dull, goalless draw at Villa Park, before last season's Premier League champions Manchester City breezed past Arsenal 3-0. But with social distancing measures in force and a lack of fans inside the stadiums, this was a sign of what - for the forseeable future - will be the new normal when it comes to watching Premier League matches. This is how some of those watching found the experience.

Paolo Sousa's Bordeaux side have been in flying form recently, winning three and drawing one of their last four games. Some of these performances had come over some beatable opponents but they managed to show their quality against an extremely in-form side last week as they beat Monaco 2-1 at home. Pablo Castro and Nicolas de Préville got the goals for les Girondins and they'll be hoping to keep that scoring form going as they travel to the Stade Auguste Delaune. They now have seven goals in their last four games.

It hurts a lot [putting Xavi last] as I’m talking an absolute world-class player but you have given me four better ones. I love people that get you off your seat and I would have Scholes ahead of Xavi as he would change games more. Xavi would dictate the pace of the play and his link-up was one of the world’s best in his position but Scholes could do anything – score goals with his head, score goals outside the box, ghost in and score and sit back deep and dictate play like Xavi did.
Marseille will be stiff competition for Angers here as André Villas-Boas' team has been in flying form recently, with four wins on the bounce carrying them up to second.
