The Austrian outfit have been somewhat of a surprise so far this season, currently sitting second in the group ahead of PSV and only two points behind Sporting. The key to their success has been a solid defence, with just three goals conceded so far and this along with a 4-1 win over PSV last time out, have given them the advantage over their Dutch rivals.
Is it a move that makes sense? Esteemed Madrid-based journalist Michael Hincks isn't so sure, as he explains in today's Paper Round. He fits the bill, but would he want to take on ‘The Arsenal Project’? Although you could argue it is a good time to take over given Arsenal are at their lowest point in decades (the only way is up etc), you have to wonder whether Ancelotti fancies the task of trying to revitalise the club.
And after a tricky start to her Chelsea career, Hayes believes the Lionesses striker, who has now scored 21 goals in all competitions, has blossomed this campaign and has no doubt she will continue to deliver. I love the story, because she had to earn it, there was no way I was going to give it to her easily," Hayes added.

Ultimately, the difference between the two sides this year has been substantial and Flamengo have been the better of the two in just about every metric.

That could come on the heels of UEFA criticism of Belgium not waiting to attempt to complete their campaign in the coming months as European soccer's governing body had asked its member associations to try and do. There was also the threat that Belgian clubs might not be allowed to participate in the Champions League and Europa League next season, although this has since been tempered by Belgian and UEFA officials.

With the Tigers bound for Elland Road, Leeds have been priced up as the heavy favourites to come away with a result. the hosts are chasing their sixth straight victory in the Championship, as they look to make first place their own.
There was another twist though as Hector Bellerin's superb equaliser sent the away fans into delirium. To make matters worse for fourth-placed Chelsea, striker Abraham hobbled off the pitch at the end. It is only one win in six games for Arteta since taking over but his 10th-placed Arsenal side are displaying the spirit that has been lacking for much of the season.
He has another 22 games to get those eight goals. His average of a goal every 90 minutes is better than in each of his previous Premier League seasons (it was a goal every 131 minutes in 2015-16) and he is having a shot on target every 55 minutes, which is also his top-flight career best. His average of a shot every 35 minutes is comparable to last season, but not as good as his figure of 27 in 2015-16.
Gonzalo Higuain set Ronaldo free down the left and the irrepressible Portuguese fired his shot into the far corner in the 26th minute to claim his 13th goal in the last 10 matches he has played in.

Liz Tray: Aguero is irreplaceable. We'll need to buy two strikers at least to replace Aguero. I shall shed a tear when he leaves. Philip West: For me, Aguero is the best striker the Premier League has ever seen. Deadly, prolific, and consistent every single season. When he finally heads back to Argentina, this league, and English football as a whole, loses a true great.

They mould you into a Manchester United person or a Manchester United player. But the process begins before you can even remember.
Hard work pays off for playersClement never progressed beyond non-league football as a player, going into coaching in his early 20s, becoming a PE teacher in his native London and then spending seven years as a coach at Fulham's academy before joining the youth set-up at Chelsea in 2007. So how did he deal with some of the biggest personalities in world football when he stepped up to first-team coaching duties? And what was the secret to their success?"I came out of the reserve team at Chelsea into the first team, which had four or five national team captains.
Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard feels he can return to his best after opening up to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about off-field issues that had "weighed on his shoulders". Lingard assumed greater responsibility for his younger brother and sister when his mother fell ill, which impacted his performances for United on the pitch. But a knock on Solskjaer's door has helped him to kick-start his season.
Last season we had one of the lowest budgets in the Championship and we'd taken several hundred thousand off it. If we are facing the worst-case scenario, whereby there are no fans coming through the turnstiles until 2021, the budget we had last year would need to be cut even further. If we don't get it right, it could put the future of the club in jeopardy and we won't allow that to happen. We furloughed our players until the end of May and then extended that to the end of July.
He is universally recognised and treated as one of the greatest yet the narrative remains inconsistent, with many still believing that, between his own faults and uncontrollable situations around him, he has yet to really show his best.

Mannie Gill: Do United actually have the money available for transfers/investment or is the money tied with the debt?Manchester United do have money. But not so much they are willing to spend it without thinking of the consequences. A lot has been made of United's debt - the payments associated with it and additional share dividends are cited by many fans as a reason for their anger at the current ownership, as they see millions of pounds going out of the club that could be used to buy players.

Ryan Jack was sent off late in Thursday's draw with Young Boys of Switzerland in the Europa League, while Colombia striker Morelos got his marching orders at Fir Park after two yellow cards in 14 minutes.

Referee Don Robertson flashed a second caution which means Morelos will be missing for Friday's trip to play Hibernian at Easter Road.

Van Dijk: We've seen Virgil van Dijk marshal his defence with grace and tackle like a steam train when needed but I have never seen him score two headers like a striker before. The way he took his second goal from another beautifully delivered Alexander-Arnold ball was superb. John Toshack couldn't have put the ball into the net any better. Brighton were 2-0 down before they had time to draw breath.
Our answer would be give the tests to those people. The doctor. Francisco Moya is a consultant in emergency, sport and exercise medicine at Vithas Xanit International Hospital in Malaga.

Even if players are doing daily training sessions, you can’t recreate football at home,” he said.
Bournemouth are the first side in Premier League history to concede 60+ goals in five consecutive seasonsHowe's side certainly had some luck as Leicester imploded.

I'd like to think we would be one of the favourites," says Parishes of Jersey boss Scott. Standard-wise, I couldn't tell you how it's going to go, and that excites me within itself to be honest. After Cornwall we were the second-highest ranked qualifying team in Europe, so I think we've got a chance. If we're being brutally honest I think we need to go away there, show the talent that Jersey has to offer from a football point of view, and if that means lifting the trophy at the end of it that'd be the icing on the cake.

It gives them an outside chance of survival, albeit they still need to beat Brentford at Griffin Park.

Eintracht Frankfurt is this season have huge problems and that is not so big surprise, if we just know that few very important players of this team are left the club for a lot of money.

Bayern Munich is beat them even 5-2 and we are saw very problematic defense of this team. Freiburg is lost in last round against Werder 0-1 at home, so they will try to win this match. Yes, over is ok and real.
