That very same evening, the eyes of the international football community were on the stadium in Verona, where Brescia striker Mario Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch after being subjected to sustained racist abuse and monkey chants. BBC Monitoring reports and analyses news from TV, radio, web and print media around the world.
Adding both Niguez and Harland would be ideal, but there needs to be reinforcement for the second half of the season or the club once again risks losing any momentum it has picked up from its recent victories. Read the full story Concussion subs for next season The Daily Mail reports that the Premier League is ready to introduce concussion substitutes for next season.
Ancelotti, 60, who won the league and FA Cup double with Chelsea in 2010, is available after being sacked by Napoli, with former Everton boss David Moyes and Unai Emery, sacked by Arsenal on 29 November, also in the frame. Another thought to be in contention is Arteta, who has been assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and has also been linked with the Arsenal vacancy. I don't want to get drawn into names, but all these guys are fantastic managers - great, great managers," said ex-striker Ferguson, who had two spells at Goodison as a player between 1994 and 2006.
In the upcoming game of the German Regionalliga Südwest Kickers Offenbach receives the second team from SC Freiburg. Einben right favorites are here in my opinion not. Offenbach currently occupies the 14th place in the table with six wins, five draws and seven defeats. Freiburg, meanwhile, occupies the twelfth place in the table with seven wins, three draws and eight defeats. I'm already surprised by this quote. There, where the second team of Freiburg plays, fall as a rule numerous goals. So also their last five matches ended with three or more goals. They are a offensive team and can win this.
In the previous round, both these sides saw off opposition from lower ranked teams. Burnley beat Peterborough United 4-2 as Norwich beat Preston North End by the same margin. Burnley will go to this game mentally the stronger, after back to back wins over Leicester City and Manchester United. They have three wins and two losses in their last five matches.

One concern for Hasenhuttl will be Saints again failed to keep a clean sheet and their tally of 33 goals conceded in 15 matches this season is the highest of any top-flight team. Norwich continue to struggle on the roadNorwich had won their last away game - 2-0 at fellow strugglers Everton on 23 November - but were poor in the first half here and wasteful late on, this defeat meaning they have only picked up four points from eight away league games.
In the 'Correct Score' market a 2-1 win for the visitors appeals. Wimbledon have a great habit of scoring at home, but they rarely exceed a single goal, scoring just once on nine occasions at Kingsmeadow this term. Such a stat doesn't bode well for them against a side that has regularly scored twice away from home.
On Monday, Newcastle United became the first Premier League club to put non-playing staff on leave. A number of other football clubs have taken steps to reduce their costs. Hearts were the first Scottish Premiership side to ask staff to take a salary reduction of 50% and on Tuesday Celtic manager Neil Lennon said wage cuts were a possibility. Elsewhere in Europe, Barcelona players are taking a 70% pay cut and will make additional contributions to ensure non-sporting staff receive full wages.
Boli Bolingoli's initial cross was just too high for Edouard but James Forrest returned the ball into his path and he gratefully swept it past the substitute goalkeeper Chris Maxwell. Celtic might have scored a third, albeit at the wrong end. Daryl Horgan whipped in a dangerous cross from the left and Christopher Jullien forced his fellow League Cup hero Forster into a marvellous reaction save. With that, any hopes Hibs had of preventing Celtic from recording their ninth successive home league win vanished.
Lyngby got no chance to get into the top 6 in this season as they got 7 points gap to Aalborg. They play weakly in this season and I don't think that team like Kobenhavn will struggle against them. The visitors are in second place in the league standings and they got a huge gap to the leader as it is 12 points. Even that I think Kobenhavn will win this match. The difference between those teams is huge and I think that Lyngby will be able to only score a goal against Kobenhavn. My bet here is the visitors to win

And I think this sort of last year has been that, you know, the joy of promotion and now, the sort of fight for Premier League survival. Norwich won the Championship (second-tier) last season but are bottom of the top-flight standings seven points adrift of the safety zone after Saturday's 4-0 loss at Manchester United.
Werder Bremen unexpectedly defeated Freiburg in the previous round, ending a series of 6 consecutive games of draw and loss. However, experts say that this is just a rare bright spot of this team amidst many difficulties this season.
Newcastle United will play host to Crystal Palace when the Premier League enters the 18th round of matches this weekend. Going to the game, Newcastle are 11th in the league standings with 22 points and Palace are ninth on 23 points. Newcastle lost to Burnley in their last match, bringing to an end a three – match unbeaten run they had established.
That they did not, left the door open for the Blades to claim a deserved point. In Wilder, the Blades have their own Dyche - a manager who demands commitment from his players and offers them the promise of self-improvement in a successful side. At no point during the game did the heads of the Blades players drop, nor their faith in the strategy wane. Their territorial advantage did not result in an abundance of opportunities, but when their one big chance came they had the skill and composure to capitalise and claim their point.
Davies in particular has drawn plenty of plaudits for his electric play so which of the two are quicker? “It’s him,” Coman replies, “We’ve already done some testing at Bayern, it’s him. If it’s speed in slaloms or turning I think I’m a little faster but in a straight line it’s him. Coman says he has never timed himself over 100 metres as he feels he is quickest over the first 15, that’s where he gets his advantage.
Metz have found the step up to Ligue 1 rather difficult since their promotion with few wins to their name as they closed out 2019. Their first match of the new decade kept Metz right in the ditch as they lost 3-0 to fourth-tier Rouen in the Coupe de France. It was a horrific defeat and one that has laid all the pressure on manager Vincent Hognon who has said there is a u201cfeeling of shameu201d surrounding their underperformance.
I had started the majority of the games in the build-up to the World Cup so to not be a part of them knocked my confidence and was upsetting. But rotation was our weapon and it kept you on your toes. Every player was key in that tournament. I came on as a substitute in this game, so even though it's not the greatest goal, it was a big one for me personally and it helped relax the rest of the team. My mum and dad told me I was offside when I scored it!England 2-1 Colombia, World Cup - 2015 The detail that went into the set-pieces was key again for this goal.
With just one victory from their last seven matches, the Eagles' paltry win return looks worrying at first glance, though Palace have also lost just two of their last nine in all competitions and just once in eight in the Premier League.
Leicester conceded a goal for the first time in five Premier League games, ending a run of 446 minutes without shipping a goal in the competition for Brendan Rodgers' side since Chris Wood's goal against them for Burnley in October. Jamie Vardy has scored in six consecutive Premier League games for Leicester (eight goals), his best streak since his record-breaking 11-match run in November 2015. Only against Arsenal (nine) and Liverpool (seven) has Leicester striker Jamie Vardy scored more Premier League goals than he has against Everton (six).
I really see plenty of goals in this match from Germany Bundesliga and that is for me very real option. So, Eintracht is team who is in last few weeks played very efficient but in the same time, they are had a lot of problems and team is receive a lot of goals in that period. In last round, they are beat Hoffenheim, but this time it will not be easy. Guests are very strong team who is bring Dany Olmo in meantime from Dinamo Zagreb. I see here surely at least three goals and probably and four, it is clear.
I can write the stories myself: the first story is that never before in the history of football, British football at least, has a team had a bigger lead and lost the lead," said Klopp. So that sounds in my ear negative, so why should we think about something like that? We are just focused on the next (games).

The leaks over the weekend that Tottenham would sell for £200 million and that Kane would be open to a move to Manchester United will have come from somewhere - namely Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Kane respectively. It appears both sides are positioning themselves for the mother of all transfers/divorces [delete as appropriate] come perhaps the summer and there is already an air of inevitability about it.
While the Bees' new home is less than a mile down the road, football fans across the country will undoubtedly be sad to see Griffin Park go - for it is only football ground in England with a pub on every corner. However, travelling fans will not go thirsty at the Brentford Community Stadium, as it reportedly hosts 17 bars. Man of the match - Emiliano Marcondes (Brentford) Emiliano Marcondes scored the goal which secured Brentford's passage into the FA Cup fourth round and he impressed again, coming close to a goal on several occasions while driving the Bees forward at every opportunity'I was a bit nervous but in the end we got the win' - what they saidLeicester manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BBC MOTD: "I thought the first 25 minutes we were very good, but we were then loose in our passing.
Mainz and RB Leipzig will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Mainz this season have the following results: 8W, 3D and 15L. Meanwhile RB Leipzig have 14W, 9D and 3L.

So this is a chance to see how the tiny country can cope with hosting a tournament with fans coming from around the world. Qatar will host next year's Club World Cup too, with even Fifa describing these as "valuable test events" for 2022, "allowing for testing under similar climatic conditions". The temperature in Doha on most days in early-mid December last year reached 26C. Liverpool's two games will take place at the 48,000-seater Khalifa International Stadium - which is a 2022 World Cup venue.
Midfield - Christian Pulisic (Chelsea), Naby Keita (Liverpool), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Raheem Sterling (Man City) Pulisic: Chelsea's visit to Anfield was a crazy game for all sorts of reasons. The Blues were looking for a point to seal a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, Liverpool had very different ideas on a night when they were looking forward to being presented with the Premier League title.
Maidenhead have only won two of their ten home games this season and have lost five while Woking have only lost two of their ten away games this season and have won five, so you can begin to see why we’re backing the visitors with a double chance bet this weekend.
Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has become one of the Premier League's most influential players since joining from Monaco in 2017.

Jordan Ayew's second-half goal ensured Brighton's dismal start to 2020 continued as Crystal Palace edged a tight affair at Amex Stadium. The result leaves Palace nestled safely in mid-table, while the Seagulls sit four points above the bottom three, having drawn five and lost four of their past nine games in all competitions, since their victory over Bournemouth on 28 December. The outcome in many ways mirrored Brighton's season so far.
