Martial seems to be the main beneficiary with a hat-trick against a tired-looking Sheffield United, who have had a magnificent season but are running out of gas and have had seven goals put past them in three games. Martial looks like he's having a party at the moment, playing with a smile on his face and, for now, having lost the frown. Did you know? Martial has scored 19 goals for Manchester United this season - his most prolific season for them.
Rashford scored twice in United's 4-0 Premier League win over Norwich City on Saturday, taking his tally to 19 in his past 23 games for club and country. I'm pleased for him this year that he is starting to get the goals he deserves, and hopefully he has not stopped yet," Maguire told British media. He has a few more in the tank from now until the end of the season.

Brighton's chief executive, technical director and head coach have all taken a pay cut for the next three months. Former England captain Gary Lineker predicts that many Premier League players will now follow suit. Clubs have been criticised by British politicians for furloughing non-playing staff while paying players in full. MP Julian Knight has called for the Chancellor to impose a "windfall tax" on clubs that refuse to cut players' salaries while furloughing staff.
De Gea did not have such a good night. There were already questions about his form before this game and he produced another error here - all with Dean Henderson's reputation growing in his loan spell at Sheffield United. Media playback is not supported on this device Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United "deserved a win" Frustration for MourinhoSpurs will be bitterly disappointed to concede a goal so late on, and in such needless fashion, although it could have been worse when referee Moss erroneously awarded that second penalty - before VAR put matters right.
When this group was drawn, not too many people would've expected Salzburg to be tussling with Liverpool and Napoli come match-day six, though the Austrian outfit have defied expectations and have shown the wider audience that they're a side capable of doing the business at this level.
CAS Secretary General Matthieu Reeb told Reuters that the court was already making adjustments and was "monitoring the situation closely and continually adapting to the changing circumstances". In-person hearings are still being conducted, where the participants agree to do so," he added in an email statement.
The visitors will understandably fancy their chances against a Watford side who are yet to win at Vicarage Road this season, and who’s last Premier League win at home came all the way back at the start of April. For this reason, these odds for a Burnley Win or Draw Double Chance look an attractive proposition.
Arsenal boosted their hopes of finishing in the Premier League top four with a narrow win over West Ham at Emirates Stadium. Alexandre Lacazette's goal 12 minutes from time, which was confirmed by the video assistant referee, lifted the Gunners up to ninth, five points behind Chelsea in fourth. The France forward swept a close-range effort into the bottom-left corner from Mesut Ozil's cushioned header for his third goal in four games.
Diatta cut in from the wing in the 92nd minute to hammer home from distance, only to get sent off for a second caution as he took off his shirt in celebration. Defender Clinton Mata got a second booking at the same time for kicking the corner flag in a bizarre ending to the match. Brugge have three points to Galatasaray's two as both fell out of contention for the knockout stage, meaning Real Madrid, on seven points, join Paris St Germain in the last 16 before their clash kicked off in the Spanish capital later on Tuesday.
Whenever this pandemic is over it is important to remember clubs that stood with their communities, with the two Manchester clubs setting the example for the rest of the league to follow. Man Utd players to donate 30 per cent of wages to NHS Man City the first PL club to confirm they will not be furloughing any non-playing staff Clubs may see themselves as businesses but their lifeblood is their community and clubs who are furloughing staff when it is absolutely not necessary to do so need reminding of that.
De Bruyne insisted that City’s gameplan in their fine 3-1 victory at Old Trafford in midweek, where Guardiola elected to not field a recognised striker, took just 15 minutes to prepare. From none to two up front for the first time in almost 18 months at Villa Park, with even more success. Surely this took some planning? Even with only one central defender in the pitch, City never looked troubled, with their relentless attacks too hot too handle.
The Celtic goalkeeper made a number of stunning saves including one to deny Ryan Jack from range in the first half. Forster also prevented in-form Rangers striker Alfredo Morelo from finding the back of the net on a number of occasions. A four-minute spell in the second half saw Celtic take the lead completely against the run of play when Jullien got on the end of a free kick delivery before Jeremie Frimpong was sent off moments later for felling Morelos in the box.
We expect Sheffield United to be in the fight for a Champions League place until the bitter end. They have shown English football that tactical discipline and team spirit can make up for a comparative lack of financial resources. We suspect many clubs will try to follow their blueprint in the coming years. Watch a case study of their economic brilliance this weekend. Back Sheffield United to win with a clean sheet.
Manchester City may have been slightly below par at times this season, but they should still have enough about them to get the three points on Saturday. Leicester have lost four of their last five away games against last season's Premier League top six, and with two of Man City's last three home games ending 2-1 we think that's the best option in the correct score market.
If I could bring Mbappe [to Real Madrid]. Hazard told Le Parisien. There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he'll be one of the best players in history. By 20 years old, I'd already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there's no comparison [between me and Mbappe].
Jong PSV and Graafschap will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Jong PSV this season have the following results: 5W, 5D and 14L. Meanwhile Graafschap have 12W, 11D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Livingston has only won one of their last five Premiership games at the Tony Macaroni Arena, whilst Kilmarnock shares the same numbers on their trips. Moreover, the visitors have scored in five of their previous six away days, although only scoring a single goal in four of those games. We believe a draw is on the cards here, as neither team has what it takes to beat the other. We're also going for a final score of 1-1, as Livingston has seen under 2.5 goals in their last six home games, with Kilmarnock also netting an average of 0.86 goals on their travels.
Zaha played with an injury and it was touch and go if he was going to be on the field. It would be unlikely if we would do that to him again on Sunday,” Hodgson added. We would want to put more resources into the FA Cup if we had them. It's a great competition but we have to balance what's available to us with what we can do, take the soundings from our sports science people and weigh the possible risks.
Unlike their opponents, their December fixture list is looking rather frightening. They will face Leicester (twice), Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal over the next three weeks, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they could find themselves in the drop zone come Christmas.
