Guardiola approach is vindicated The heatmaps of both teams give you an idea of the home side's dominance. Manchester City (left) played most of their football in Leicester's territory, while the Foxes (right) struggled to get out of their own half. Pep Guardiola's side had 63% of possession, managed 23 shots to Leicester's five and played 684 passes to 397 by the visitors, who had just 10 touches in the opposition area compared to 47 by the hostsThe way Manchester City lost the derby earlier this month might have made some managers adopt a more conservative approach against a side with Vardy in their ranks - not Guardiola, however.
Brighton's attacking threat was largely nullified by Chelsea's defence, although aside from the goals they produced the clearest chances - both thwarted by the brilliance of keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniard produced a one-handed stop to deny Aaron Connolly and then saved Neal Maupay's low drive with his feet. The point extends fourth-placed Chelsea's advantage over Manchester United in fifth to five points.
Physical activity while concussed increases the risk of suffering serious repercussions - and obviously another blow to the head would make things even worse. So yes, the rules are correct - if someone is thought to be concussed, they need to stop playing immediately, and rest. Teammates, coaches, match officials, team managers, administrators (and at junior level parents) who suspect someone may have concussion all have a duty to make sure this actually happens.
Roll on December 29 when these two meet in the league again. GARY NEVILLE CALLING IT AS IT IS Gary Neville is absolutely right on the below. The 'stick to football' brigade were always going to wade in on this one but Neville's point is pretty inarguable. The basics of the argument are that football crowds are a microcosm of society and society is currently a cesspit.
Basement club Espanyol also picked up three much-needed points with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal – a first win since October – to move level on points with second-bottom Leganes, but they still remain four off Mallorca. What is happening at Atletico Madrid? Atletico Madrid might have finished second last term and completed a club-record 120 million euro ($133 million) move for Joao Felix in the close season, but all is not well at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Lovren has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield and seems unlikely to regain his first-team place any time soon, particularly with just one year left on his contract. Both north London clubs have leaked goals at times this season and would value Lovren's experience and availability. Paper Round’s view: This would be a poor signing for both Arsenal and Spurs, who have had different problems at the back.
Very nearly a huge diplomatic incident. Scotland fans during a 2004 World Cup qualifier in Chisinau, MoldovaHappy 21stAnonymous (Warsaw)We were over in Warsaw and went out to enjoy all that the place had to offer. When the pub closed, me and my pals went looking for a nightclub. After finding what we thought was just the very place, the doorman said something to me in Polish and I just nodded at him, not understanding a word of it.
But a failure to get there with this squad could not be viewed through the same prism. Hardly anyone in the game thinks it is a 'top four' squad. And Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay - who are three of the most important players in it - are all injured. I think deciding Solskjaer's fate on a top-four finish would be unfair - and is unlikely to happen. Faisal Khan: Is Mauricio Pochettino likely to take over at the end of the season?It is possible - whether it is likely, I don't know.
Dr Anton Nachreiner, chairman of the DFB control committee, added: "Of course, the DFB control committee always has the requirements of the Fifa football rules and the DFB regulations in mind. In the specific case, however, these are targeted anti-racism campaigns by the players, which are committed to values for which the DFB also stands and always stands for. The Football Association said it would take a "common sense approach" to any protests such as those seen in the Bundesliga when English football resumes later this month.
Although Sevilla played in Europe this week, the team should be fully rested for this match with Sevilla playing with a b-team in Cyprus. At home Sevilla has looked excellent in the last weeks with a 7-1-0 record and in the last 7 games at home they have conceded only 1 goal in total.
Uefa president Aleksander Cerefin says it has a "concrete plan" for finishing the European season "in August". BBC Sport reported last month that the Champions League and Europa League are likely to be played in that month. The quarter-finals and semi-finals are expected to be played over two legs. The head of European football's governing body told BeIN Sports: "As things look now, I'm sure that we can finish the European season and this means Uefa competition.
In the past two rounds, Jurgen Klopp has played the kids - first against Everton and then an even younger team in the replay against Shrewsbury - so we will have to wait and see what he does this time. There are other worries for Southgate tooAt the moment it is hard to say who should lead England's attack against Croatia when they play their first group game of Euro 2020 at Wembley on 14 June. It is clear that centre-forward is turning into a problem position for Southgate with all these players being sidelined.
Sorry" 08:30 - 'But the title is over?' "But the title is over?" Pep Guardiola said with a smile after Man City's 4-1 win at Burnley. From what I read, nobody gives us a chance. It's done. I don't believe it but it's not about if I don't believe it or not. Our team is stable, but with the distance we have to Liverpool, it would be a little bit crazy to think about the title, honestly.
So it may be that he is meant to play a role, but it makes no sense if he has to sit on the bench. There is no big difference between the two teams, Real Madrid are not much better than Real Sociedad now. After all, [due to the coronavirus pandemic] there could be many big clubs scraped to the bone and many other clubs disappearing.
We had to win by two goals and the first 75 minutes was probably one of the most enjoyable games I've ever played in. We were winning 3-0, there was almost 30,000 people and so many Scottish fans. The atmosphere was great because it's quite a small stadium so it's not like Wembley which is massive. It's quite enclosed, noisy and you can't really hear people. I remember just thinking 'this is crazy!'.
But the point for Slaven Bilic's side, now unbeaten in 14 games, ensured that they would remain top of the Championship on Boxing Day, no matter how Leeds United fare in their late kick-off at home to Preston. Struggling Barnsley showed what they are capable of when they led 2-0 at the Hawthorns earlier in the season, only to be hit by two late Albion goals.

We think everything is set up here for a low scoring clash, with 67% of Udinese’s matches at this ground seeing fewer than three goals. They’ve had quite cagey clashes here with the sides below them in the league – losing 1-0 to Brescia and drawing 0-0 with SPAL. On top of that, Udinese have seen under 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 clashes with Sassuolo, so we see a game low on goals. We think that under 2.5 goals is the best bet here, with the pair averaging a combined two goals scored per match across Udinese’s home outings and Sassuolo’s trips.

Norwich City have agreed to sign Luxembourg forward Danel Sinani from F91 Dudelange on a three-year contract. The Premier League's bottom club said Sinani, 23, would join before the start of the 2020-21 season. He’s a young player full of potential," said Norwich head coach Daniel Farke. Luxembourg is a completely different level so we will need to give him some time, but he has proven he can deliver in the Europa League," added Farke.
But Messi netted a stunning strike from distance, surrounded by no fewer than four opposition players, before Suarez was given the chance to score from the spot after a VAR review showed a handball from Ximo Navarro. In the end, it was an emphatic victory for Barca who are now clear at the top of the table until Real Madrid’s game against Athletic Club on Sunday.
Frank Lampard's decision to give Willy Caballero his first league game of the campaign backfired when the former Manchester City goalkeeper left his goal to chase down Ben Chilwell's cross, racing back too late to be in position when the ball was delivered back to the Foxes full back who slotted home.
It marked a 14th win for Canada in 14 meetings against Costa Rica, but the victors were made to earn their Tokyo ticket as their opponents, ranked 37th, came out determined to end their losing streak. Canadian captain Christine Sinclair was kept in check by the Costa Ricans after becoming the all-time top scorer in international soccer in the tournament opener, breaking the mark held by American Abby Wambach when she netted twice in an 11-0 rout of St.

I'm really happy and proud to win this. Football is my job, I love it," said Mane. I would like to thank my family, my national team, staff, the federation and Liverpool Football Club. It's a big day for me. Mane collected his award at a ceremony in Hurghada, Egypt but neither Salah, who had won the award in both the past two years, nor Mahrez were present. Mane has finished in the award's top three for the last three years, and has long targeted the prize in order to emulate the achievement of one of his heroes, former Liverpool striker El Hadji Diouf, who won it in 2002.
They may be in 14th position, which doesn't sound nor look all that impressive, but they're only four points shy of the play-off places. Moreover, Gillingham are fast becoming a very useful side. They've lost none of their last seven and come into this game having conceded just one goal in their last four.
SJK Akatemia will play against EIF in the Ykkonen league of Finland on Saturday. SJK Akatemia finished first in the Kakkonen Group C last season and achieved Promotion after finishing first in Winners stage. Later they played in Suomen cup but finished last in Group D. While Eif finished 6th in Ykkonen last season. Then they played quite well in Suomen Cup but finished third and failed to advance in Suomen Cup Playoffs. They managed to Draw and Defending Champions of Top Division club Inter Turku. Smith received red card in 37th minute and then they conceded Two goals in the second half .
I really dont get why odds are getting higher on the over lines, and I say this because Device is in top form and fully deserve to be so clear league leaders as they have 9 points more than the rest of the pack and only first place at the end of the season promotes directly to the first league while next two teams play in the play-offs, this while they even defeated 2nd placed Bokelj with 3-1 at home after the restart and looked quite shaky in defense against modest Mornar Bar at home as well but won 4-2 as well.

Wolves are on an unbeaten run of seven league games. Wolves have kept six clean sheets in their last seven league matches. Aston Villa have played three games since the Premier League season resumed and haven't won any of them. They are still 19th in the table and host a confident Wolverhampton Wanderers side who are sixth.

The judge said he would permit the pair to move into the Palmaroga hotel in Asuncion while they awaited their trial. They will be allowed to receive visits.

I do believe some subjects simply cannot be encapsulated in words,” wrote Richard Kurt in United! Despatches from Old Trafford.

To make matters worse, the likes of Sead Kolasinac, Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney and Sokratis are likely to miss out through injury, leaving the error prone duo of David Luiz and Shkodran Mustafi to pair up in the centre of defence. All these signs point towards a Manchester United win, and looking at the odds this looks a nice value bet to go for.
Rennes have conceded seven goals in this run of five games so they definitely need to sure up the backline but their ten goals in this time have seen them through the tough matches. Adrien Hunou has been a key part of this as the club stalwart has scored five goals in his last nine games in all competitions, taking full advantage of his opportunity up top as he usually plays on the left of midfield.

I don't know why but for me IMO this is very good value. I mean yes, Vitebsk are lately at much better form but Zhodino are the team with most quality and for sure with far more experienced players. After that very good start for the hosts they are now dealing with a tough period. They have only 1 won at the last 5 games and if u ask me today they have the perfect opportunity to get out of that crisis. Vitebsk I got to say are doing outstanding lately, and they don't know for a lost at the last 7 games which moved them to the 8th place. But still despides the better form when it comes to quality and experience Torpedo are by far the best team. Lipe Veloso, Ramos , Gorbachik, Yashin this are all great players that can make the difference at matches like this for sure .Traditionally Zhodino most of the time doesn't have any troubles against Vitebsk.
Erling Braut Haaland continued his remarkable scoring record for Borussia Dortmund but could not stop his side suffering a shock German Cup third-round defeat against Werder Bremen. Teenager Haaland, 19, came on a substitute and scored his eighth goal in four games since signing in January.

In the earlier meeting between these two sides, in the Serie A, it ended 2-2 and one aspect that could play out here is the two sides’ forms in the Coppa Italia. While Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last six home matches in the tournament, Atalanta have lost six of the last 10 away. Fiorentina will want to take advantage of this but their recent form doesn’t back them up. However, they have been scoring pretty regularly; they have scored in eight of 10 home matches, and have scored in each of the last seven meetings with Atalanta. On the other hand, Atalanta have been one of the best scoring sides in Italy and have particularly scored a lot in this fixture. Based on this we are backing both teams to score here, and we will go for over 2.5 goals.
He's made an immediate impact with Derby enjoying an unbeaten run of seven games in all competitions prior to Tuesday night's meeting with Luton. Rooney hasn't been involved in all of those games but he will almost certainly take the field against The Potters and that could be bad news for Stoke boss Michael O'Neill.
Here we go with very interesting match between Ruh Brest and Horodeya in Belarus. Guests are in little better shape in this season and they are slight favorites in this game and I think that today will be very offensive match between these both teams . Anyway, both teams are really poor in offense so I don't expect much goals today. I think there won't be any goals in this match. I hope that this match will end 4:1 for Ruh BREST. The home team are in very good shape, in the last 5 matches they lost only one time. Good luck

Atalanta kept alive their slim Serie A title hopes alive with a draw at AC Milan. Hakan Calhanoglu curled home a free kick to put the hosts ahead early in the first half. However, the visitors equalised before the break when Duvan Zapata drilled in his 18th of the season. The point means Atalanta are five points behind leaders Juventus with two games remaining and are relying on a significant collapse by the leaders.
Andy Carroll's assist for Newcastle's opening goal was his fourth in the Premier League in his last eight appearances, as many as he managed to register across his previous 100 in the competition. Ahmed Elmohamady's equaliser for Aston Villa was his second Premier League goal at St James' Park, also scoring for Hull City there in September 2013 under Steve Bruce. Newcastle are the only side he has netted more than once against in the top flight.
