Video - Liverpool make £60m Werner bid to kill Chelsea interest – Euro Papers01:13 Paper Round’s view: Every United fan knows they’ve needed a striker since selling Romelu Lukaku, and Rashford’s injury has only highlighted this summer failure to land a replacement. Like Sporting with Fernandes, Lyon will know they can play hardball over Dembele.
The home side had fallen behind after M'Baye Niang converted a penalty in the 33rd minute but Timothee Kolodziejczak drew Saint-Etienne level shortly before halftime with a header. The match looked set for extra-time but Algeria international Boudebouz sparked wild scenes among the home fans with a thumping drive into the far bottom corner in the fourth minute of added time.
Now, though, he is a conductor, moving beautifully to prompt and pass, without losing the instinct that defined the early part of his career. An absolute pleasure to watch. PLAYER RATINGS Chelsea: Caballero 7, Azpilicueta 5, Christensen 5, Rudiger 5, James 6, Jorginho 5, Kovacic 5, Barkley 5, Alonso 5, Mount 6, Giroud 5.
Legia Warsaw have won four of their last five games. At home they have won ten of their last fourteen games. They will face Arka gdynia who have lost four of their last five games. On the road Arka gdynia have lost ten of their last thirteen league games. Arka gdynia are in relegation places and will find it tough to get any point against in form Legia Warsaw. The coach will focus on the next game against Wisla plock on Sunday therefore he will rotate players.
In the last two games played by the hosts it is true they have failed to score a single goal but for example with Isloch 2 at home they had just 3 reserve players on the bench and even though it was 0-0 and they had a man plus they ended up losing the encounter with 1-0 but Isloch 2 right now has 6 wins in a row in the league. Last round they were once more weakened with their starting line-up and played Vitebsk 2 on the road and were 3-0 down by half-time of the game and that was the way they lost the game.
Contravening what was in the Government decree, which authorises Serie A games to be played behind closed doors, the AIC asked a few minutes before the start of the game for the suspension of the league and threatened a player strike. This request put the whole system, which has already been badly hindered by the state of emergency, under serious threat, also threatening the payment of the players' salaries.
The task force also recommended CAF investigate possible "misappropriation of funds" linked to the Centre of Excellence in Mbankomo, Cameroon and conduct an inquiry into "hacking/email spoofs" which it said resulted in "attempted and/or executed fraudulent bank transfers" in order to "clarify the circumstances around the incidents to rule out insider involvement".
Karvina are currently 14th in the 1. Liga table with 14 Points and they are currently sitting on relegation group zone. While Opponent pribram are 16th and last on the 1. Liga table with just 14 points and they are also on relegation group zone .
If you want any indication as to the esteem with which Guaita is held by those at Palace however, then consider manager Roy Hodgson’s quotes after the Sheffield United howler. He [Guaita] was the first one, when he came in after the game to apologise. But from my point of view, the coaching staff and the players’ point was to say: ‘You don’t apologise for anything.
For a moment it looks like the rebound will fall to Martinelli, but it does not and Bournemouth scramble the ball clear. GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal (Nketiah) He's got the knack! Mustafi into Nketiah, who comes short and lays off to Willock, who moves it wide to Saka. His cross is more of a pass - that's how poor Bournemouth's passing is - and Nketiah slots home with ease.
Okay then. HEROES AND ZEROES Hero: Santi Cazorla Cazorla VillarrealGetty Images Putting objectivity aside for a second, Santi Cazorla is a beautiful man and someone please needs to make this happen: " I don't know if it's possible or not, but I want to play one more game for Arsenal before I retire," he said.
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.
Hull are looking to complete their first league double over Derby since the 2012-13 season. However, the Tigers are chasing a fourth victory on the spin away from home. However, the away side haven’t been that prolific on the road for quite a while. Hull haven't won four consecutive away games in all competitions since December 2012. Given that Derby County have lost just one of their last 12 home league games, we’re going for a 1-1 draw between these two.
Will West Ham survive?This was a huge win for West Ham - and not just in terms of the score. Having started the game three points above the relegation zone, they have created some breathing space before the last three games of the season - and left Bournemouth and Aston Villa in big trouble. The Hammers had failed to win any of their previous seven away league games under Moyes - but they made up for it as they claimed their biggest away win in the Premier League since November 2007.
Players join forces for #FootballUnited A number of Premier League players have launched #FootballUnited, a new initiative aimed at raising £100,000 to help local communities through the coronavirus pandemic. Hector Bellerin, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Reece James, Andros Townsend and Callum Wilson have pledged their support.
With a nine-point gap between them and the drop, they won't sweat relegation just yet, but any hopes of obtaining a play-off spot look foolish. A promising start to the season gave way to a mediocre slump in October that they have yet to recover from. They have only won four of their last 19 league matches, a run that is unsustainable if they want to preserve their status as a Championship club.
Whenever I have had any free time I have travelled to Rome to get to know it better because it is immense. My intention has always been to create good groups. A football team should be like a family, probably because that is what I had always lived. What is his secret?Getafe's ranks consist of many players from the lower leagues, and some were considering giving the sport up and getting day jobs. Jorge Molina was on the verge of making use of his PE teacher qualification, while fellow forward Jaime Mata was all set to start work as a customs officer when Getafe stepped in to rescue their careers.
Only three sides have a worse record at home this season than Sampdoria, which would lead to concerns over the hosts’ ability to get something out of this one. However, it’s not fair to judge Samp on results alone, as they come into this clash having let six of the top seven within their first nine at home. Unsurprisingly, those are the six they’ve failed to win.
French Ligue 1 club Montpellier have expressed an interest in signing Liverpool keeper Loris Karius. The 27-year-old German terminated a loan spell at Besiktas in May when he was nearing the end of a two-year loan stint with the Turkish side. If Karius had joined Besiktas on a permanent basis, then the deal would have been worth about £6m to the Reds. Montpellier have yet to make a bid for the player, who joined Liverpool for £4.
Jan 30 (Reuters) - With Liverpool now enjoying a 19-point lead at the top of the Premier League, there is little drama in the destiny of the title but there remains plenty of intrigue over who will finish in the Champions League slots, particularly the fourth spot. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, currently fifth and sixth, need to close the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea but injuries and inconsistency have been hampering their form.
