They could have been 2-0 up inside the first five minutes but for a superb last-ditch sliding tackle from Phil Bardsley on King and a smart save by the boot of Pope to parry Callum Wilson's effort. The home goalkeeper would also push away a Jack Stacey volley at the back post and a Harry Wilson header - efforts the away side should have scored.

GOAL! Real Madrid 1-4 Real Sociedad: That will surely be game over! Isak dragged the ball across the six yard box, picking out Merino and the Real Sociedad man showed great composure to pass his shot into the back of the net. Areola might have got a hand to it, but not enough to keep the ball out. ANOTHER GOAL RULED OUT! What a howler from Remiro! Vinicius' header should have been easy enough for the Real Sociedad goalkeeper to deal with, but he somehow manages to let it squeeze through his hands and into the back of the net.
Hibs go into this game on the back of a managerial change, with Jack Ross taking over at the helm of the club last week. Hibs sacked Paul Heckingbottom after losing to Celtic in the Scottish League Cup and hope that Ross can restart their season.
He has talent that allows other players to be better, but when you want a bit more aggressive pressure he does not have the best qualities for that. Interest from Everton - and what next?Now is the time to go home. To be with my people, to analyse a lot. I'll spend the next few days close to my family, with my coaches. And I've started doing a lot of soul searching. We all spoke to each other and questioned what we got wrong.
Asked if he might have been interested in the job at the Emirates had the vacancy occurred two weeks earlier, the Portuguese made clear there was no point in pursuing that line of questioning. It didn't happen, happened now. I am so happy here that I couldn't even think about the possibility to go to another place," he told reporters ahead of Spurs' home Premier League game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Berbatov was a good example. He had a fair amount of success at Man United when he came, but he probably could have done more, especially at the beginning. I remember a training session had to be stopped because - before a Champions League final it was, I think - he didn't come across the pitch. I had the ball on one side and he was on the other side of the pitch.
A 1-0 win would not have done Fulham's second-half dominance justice, and Kebano was on hand to ensure that would not be the case, curling his injury-time free-kick delicately over the wall and into the net to double Fulham's delight. Cardiff's long road backThis was a chastening evening for Cardiff, who came into this fixture the third best record in the Championship since the season's resumption last month, winning six and losing only two of their nine post-lockdown games to finish fifth in the table.
Setien, who replaced Ernesto Valverde earlier this month, has yet to see his new side thrive in his possession-based system. They narrowly beat Granada last weekend before requiring an injury time winner from Antoine Griezmann to scrape past third tier Ibiza in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday. Valencia’s high-pressing system is similar to that implemented by the Balearic Island outfit and it will test the league leaders' mettle in what has often been a tricky fixture.

Pogba's injury restricted him to eight appearances so far this season, but he was primed to return before professional football in England was suspended because of the COVID-19 outbreak. I've been frustrated, a long time ago. Now I'm almost there, so I'm just thinking about getting back and training fully with the team and everything," the 27-year-old said in an official club podcast.
AZ are yet to lose in Group L and a point against Partizan on Thursday would prove enough to seal second place with one game still to play. The visitors arrive knowing a win is a must but having lost their last two group games confidence is bound to be low and even three points on Thursday would only take them to within a point of AZ meaning they would need another win and another AZ defeat to progress any further in this competition.
Grassina will host Albalonga for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Both teams are in better shape in recent times. Of course, both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. Yeah, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, this will not be an easy task. In any case, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Albalonga are in solid shape. They have three consecutive victories. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. My pick - Alba Longa to win.
Both are coming off the back of heavy defeats. Steve Bruce watched his side capitulate at Arsenal, a second-half implosion seeing them ship four goals, two of which came in stoppage time. Confidence is low in both camps; Palace fans have no faith in their frontline, the worst attack in the division with a goals-per-game average of 0.
Lingard failed to score or assist in the Premier League in 2019 calendar year and has lost his place in Gareth Southgate's England squad ahead of this year's European Championship. Jesse has had his ups and downs as I've spoken about before," Solskjaer told a news conference ahead of United's League Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester City on Tuesday.

It's not obligatory for me to participate myself. I could sponsor them. I could be a shareholder," Usmanov was quoted as saying by the Financial Times. They're going to build a new stadium. Why not the USM Arena?" Everton, who sacked Marco Silva as manager and appointed Carlo Ancelotti last month, are 11th in the league with 25 points from 21 games.
Bus-stop beatings"I went to the poshest school in Sheffield. I used to get beat up every morning," Wilder said with a laugh. Born and raised in Sheffield as a Blades supporter, Wilder, now 52, played for his boyhood club in two spells - but not before a move to south London due to his father beginning a new job. On his family's return to Sheffield, his parents' choice of school made things tricky - particularly on the morning commute.
Seongnam comes from an away win against the recently promoted Gwangju FC for 0 x 2, Incheon from a zero goals at home against Daegu at home. Incheon's matches tend to have less goals than the average in South Korean K1, and to confirm that we can see last season's clash between these 2, we had one 0 x 0 and one 0 x 1 at Seongnam's home. Seongnam only scored 25 goals last season over the 33 matches and conceded 36, so one more indication for this safe under 2,5 goals. We will probably see a 1 x 0 here
The postponement should accommodate the fulfilment of the domestic and European club competitions currently put on hold by the pandemic, of which Europe is now the epicentre. Premier League, EFL and WSL suspended over coronavirus pandemic Valencia say 35% of squad, staff tested positive for coronavirus "The move will help all domestic competitions, currently on hold due to the COVID-19 emergency, to be completed," continued the statement.
Cracker of a goal, too. A big booming cross from Ahmed Elmohamady was met with a precise swing of the foot from Trézéguet, and howls of despair from the Leicester defenders. Substitute to substitute. Well played Dean Smith. Leicester and Rodgers will be able to take a little comfort from the balance of the tie — they outshot Villa 43-12 over both legs — though equally, they’ll be concerned that only two of those actually went in.
United sent scouts to watch Niguez when Atletico played Liverpool in the Champions League earlier this month. Paper Round’s view: If, as seems likely, Pogba does leave United, then Niguez would be an ideal replacement. He has impressed for Atletico and Spain, and could form an exciting partnership with Bruno Fernandes.
Bentley was then at fault for Albion's second before the break when he failed to hold Jake Livermore's shot, presenting Hal Robson-Kanu with a simple tap-in. Albion had to play the final 13 minutes with 10 men after Romaine Sawyers was shown a straight red card after grabbing former Walsall team-mate Jamie Paterson by the throat, pushing a steward as he made his way off.
The Champions League and Europa League look increasingly likely to be played exclusively in August after more talks about the remainder of the 2019-20 season on Wednesday. Uefa told the 55 associations on Tuesday there was still the possibility of the competitions being played throughout June, July and August. But BBC Sport understands the latest discussions revolved almost exclusively around a plan to complete the domestic leagues by 31 July, with European competition following after that.
Despite safely negotiating their way through the Europa League Group Phase, last season's domestic success now feels a world away for Espanyol who remain bottom of La Liga and odds-on favourites for relegation heading into this Sunday's fixture.
Thus read the statement as Tottenham sacked Mauricio Pochettino in November. But disappointment is relative. Had Tottenham’s form been extremely disappointing in relation to the rest of Pochettino’s tenure? Perhaps. However, it appears that the Argentine became the victim of his own brilliance. Put simply, Spurs regressed to their mean.
As former academy team-mate Jadon Sancho prospered after leaving for Borussia Dortmund, it appeared Foden was being left behind. But, rather than quitting, or leaving on loan as many suggested, Foden stayed right where he was. Guardiola said: "What we have done with him is try to protect him so that he doesn't play every game. In this period you have to be careful in the first steps. He has an incredible thing that makes me have no doubt he can be an incredible player for the next 10 years.
With that in mind, we're also going for a 1-2 correct score in favour of the visitors. They should find this fixture fairly comfortable over the course of the 90 minutes considering the gulf in quality between the sides, but this may not reflect in the full-time score. Barca have scored more than two goals in just one of their nine away matches in all competitions this season, so 1-2 stands out as the most likely outcome for Saturday lunchtime's action at Butarque.
All things considered, we like the look of backing the visitors on the Draw No Bet line this Thursday and feel it provides good value and current prices. St Johnstone have been showing signs of improvement of late and having won 8 of the last 10 meetings between the two, we think they'll be able to grind out a narrow 1-0 win.
Rangers were made to rue "big moments" going against them in their Scottish League Cup final defeat by Celtic, says manager Steven Gerrard. Wasted chances, including a missed penalty by Alfredo Morelos, allowed 10-man Celtic to grind out a 1-0 win. Television pictures also showed Christopher Jullien's second-half winner should have been ruled out for offside. The big moments haven't gone in our favour today," Gerrard said.
Giroud and Pulisic were busy but not clinical, though it didn't prove costly as Norwich never presented any real threat. In the end, it was a comfortable victory for Chelsea despite a lack of ruthlessness. Manager Frank Lampard will hope that clinical edge returns for a significant run of matches - they face Manchester United in an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, visit champions Liverpool in the league next Wednesday and then finish the top-flight campaign at home to sixth-placed Wolves four days later.
nykobing is a team which is not in danger to be in relegation zone but they are not so far away and in this match they are favorites but in order to win they must score at least two goals cause their defense is pretty weak and it is not going to be a surprise if Kolding score two goals tonight especially because Kolding is better ranked team on fourth place on the league table and on the road they won 5 from 11 games which makes them very good road team, so overall I expect at least three goals but possible more than that
GMT unless stated): Saturday, Dec. Brighton & Hove Albion v Bournemouth (1230) *Brighton have not beaten their south coast rivals in four Premier League meetings (L3 D1). The Seagulls were thrashed 5-0 by Bournemouth in this fixture last season and lost 2-0 away. Bournemouth have lost three of their last four away league games.
Listen to the full podcast hereBest player played with Cesc Fabregas and Lionel Messi were Barcelona team-mates from 2011 until 2014 but had also played at youth level together for the club"It is obviously Lionel Messi. I played with him since I was 13. Definitely his talent is incomparable to anything I have seen in my life. Apart from the talent, for me he is such a competitor. I could not compare him to anyone.

Top scorer of the decade? Sergio Aguero 174 Harry Kane 136 Wayne Rooney 114 Romelu Lukaku 113 Robin van Persie 98 The man who provided arguably the league’s single greatest moment of the decade tops this list. Aguerooooo scored 174 times from 2010 to 2019, and remains a pivotal figure for City. One-season wonder Harry Kane is second, with Wayne Rooney pipping Romelu Lukaku to third.
The spartan, light-coloured gravestone looks like any other in Fayid War Cemetery. Just one of hundreds arranged into formal, regimented rows on an incongruous patch of land on the western shore of Egypt's Great Bitter Lake. There, at the mid point of the Suez Canal, lie men who died after serving in World War Two. Men such as Major AS Jackson. The conflict was over by the time Jackson was killed on 15 November 1946.
The levels they have reached have been incredible. For us to be in that position, I am pleased with. But I want more," Lampard added. It's not the end story, they are a strong outfit. I won't make huge judgements on tomorrow, our story is three months in the making. I had a great year at City, I go there with nothing but good feelings.
I do not really get it why odds are so big on the home win here as for example OFI has no less than 7 defeats in a row away from home at this moment and one of those defeats was even in the cup at 3rd league club Kavala where they ended up losing the first leg with 2-0 in the end but made a big win at home and so qualified further in the cup but so many defeats in a row for them away from home it is clear they have a big problem at this moment when it comes to playing games away from home.
Leicester have failed to win four of their last six Premier League away games. Watford have won four of their last six Premier League home games. Watford have beaten Leicester on their last two meetings at Vicarage Road. A Premier League return for Watford and Leicester City pits the pair against each other at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
Paper Round’s view: Across business, and not just the sporting sector, people are going to find it hard to be paid on time and in full. It is no surprise that agents will be hit hard, because they have already provided the necessary services so cutting them off appears to be a sensible option - in the short term, if not over a longer time period.
The match was initially intended to be played without spectators in attendance but new quarantine provisions will rule Norwegian players competing outside the country out of the fixture. We have informed UEFA, referring to the Norwegian authorities," NFF general secretary Pal Bjerketvedt said in a statement.
