Even in their 2-1 home win over Chelsea the previous Saturday, City did not impress and registered only 46. Guardiola. At Burnley that number was back up to 76% and the Spaniard, not surprisingly, sees his side's return to a dominant passing game as essential. I’m glad we pass more," he said, noting that had been behind the team's dip in form.

When Phil Neville took over as England manager the next step was to beat the best teams in the world and continue to do it on a consistent basis. He was in that mindset too. But I struggle to look back and see what our standout performances were under him. At the World Cup last summer, there was the quarter-final win against Norway when everyone thought we were kicking into gear, but from there it just never really happened.
PSG and Denmark's Nadia Nadim – an Afghan refugee now represented by Team Visa – was able to work in a refugee camp this summer thanks to the sponsor's support and while Parris has not undertaken a similar project yet, she has been inspired by its success. Women have to feel empowered. They have to feel like they belong somewhere.
Hapoel Petah Tikva will host Maccabi Ahi Nazareth for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites on the home field. However, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Hapoel Petah Tikva have a poor results in recent times. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. In any case, they are not convincing team. Also, we have Maccabi Ahi Nazareth who's is also not very good team. True, the visitors are undefeated in their last 5 matches. I think, they will try to remain unbeaten in this game. My pick - Maccabi Ahi Nazareth to win.
Viktoria Koln have decent 3-0-2 record in the last 5 league games at home scoring 9 goals. But they also conceded 8 goals in the 5 matches. With a total of 29 goals in 16 home games Viktoria Koln have the second worst defense at home in the league.

Discussions with clubs remain ongoing. More findings from Deloitte's annual review of football financeThe 72 Football League clubs earned revenues of over £1bn for the first time. Championship clubs generated record combined revenues of £785m in 2018-19 - a 5% increase from 2017-18. The wages/revenue ratio of English Championship clubs increased to a record 107%. League One clubs had their highest aggregate revenues (£191m) and League Two matched its previous record (£91m).
The SPFL reiterated its stance that it had received "very clear legal advice" that the resolution submitted by Rangers, Hearts and Inverness Caledonian Thistle was not effective. It says McKenzie "engaged actively" with Rangers' company secretary but that the "essence of the resolution. The letter adds that Rangers could consult a QC should they disagree, but says they declined to do so. On the claim the SPFL and Scottish FA wrote to Uefa on 4 April saying "the vast majority" of SPFL clubs are calling for curtailment of the campaign.
Jesus the lucky charm - the statsManchester City have won 11 consecutive top-flight home games against a single opponent for the very first time in the club's history. Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has failed to win any of his 23 Premier League away games in Manchester (D4 L19), with this his ninth such defeat against City (10 v United). Thanks to Riyad Mahrez's strike, Manchester City are the first English top-flight side to have five different players score at least 10 league goals in a single season since Everton in 1984-85 (Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Jesus, Mahrez).
Premier League clubs are preparing for "a lot more injuries" as players return to full training, says Newcastle club doctor Paul Catterson. Players are back in full contact training with top-flight football set to return on 17 June. We are expecting more injuries at this time," Catterson told BBC Radio 5 Live. The players have been running on treadmills and working indoors for eight weeks so that transition is a different stimulus for the body.
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk admits he would be "gutted" if the coronavirus crisis prevents fans from watching them win a league title for the first time in 30 years. The Reds lead the Premier League by 25 points but football across the country is suspended until 3 April. The prospect of playing matches without fans has been raised as one of a number of ways to complete the fixture list. No one wants to play games without the fans," said Van Dijk, 28.
Barcelona have no loss in 21 straight home matches in La Liga. Barcelona have won six of the last seven matches against Granada. Granada have no win in their last six La Liga away matches. Barcelona have scored four or more in five of their last six league matches at home. Granada have conceded two or more goals in eight of their last 15 matches.
I see Of winning this considering the good form they are in. They been good defensively while playing away from home. This will be an open match with the Xanthi playing attacking football to get 3 points at home I see of I hitting them on the counter and dining this one comfortably. I don't expect a lot of goals from this one. So under 2.5 and one of the teams not scoring could also be a good bet. Ofi has all their key players fit and Xanthi will be missing some of the jeg players in defense. So I expect a cargy win for ofi
However, Balotelli has since been branded "arrogant" by his club's ultras group, before Brescia stated that their chairman Massimo Cellino's controversial comments regarding the striker were "clearly misunderstood". It frustrates me a lot to see that because you don't know what he is feeling," said Wijnaldum. With Balotelli it was not the first time it happened, so you don't know what he is feeling.
At Real, I would do some extra work with Gareth Bale, especially when we moved him to the right-hand side. He needed to work on that right foot. He was getting into positions where he needed to be able to lift the ball to the back post or cut the ball back with his right foot and it needed some development. And working with a great coach. Clement was given his breakthrough at Chelsea by AncelottiAncelotti, now Everton's manager, worked with Clement over seven and a half years in four countries.
Eriksen, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is expected to command a fee of around £16. He would be the third former Premier League player to sign for Inter during the January transfer window, following the arrivals of Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea. Inter have slipped four points behind Serie A leaders Juventus following successive draws against Atalanta and Lecce.
The club were insistent that the evidence on which the case was based - thousands of leaked emails - represented an "organised attempt to smear the club" and reacted to their two-year ban by saying the process that led to it was "flawed" and "prejudicial". So any stain on their reputation would be an embarrassment. That is why the details of the report will be crucial. If it is determined they were dishonest and effectively 'self-sponsored' by inflating deals beyond their true value as a cover for the additional investment owner Sheikh Mansour was ploughing into the club above FFP's allowable limits, every success City have had since 2008 - and any they achieve in the future - could come with a "but".
Neil Lennon's side won 11 of their 12 domestic matches after the winter break in January, having ceded the advantage in the title race to Rangers with Old Firm defeat in the final game of 2019. Another title would give Celtic a ninth in a row for the second time in their history, while Rangers have also achieved the feat once. Ten would be incredible but we take it one game at a time, we take it one season at a time," Brown added.
Ian Holloway was appointed as new Grimsby Town manager this week, something of a coup for The Mariners. They then proceeded to win their first game in 12 attempts, putting themselves just a point behind their opponents this weekend with two games in hand. Whether that victory was a result of the new manager bounce that so many sides benefit from or if there is something a little more substantial for the new manager to build on remains to be seen.
