The only negative for Manchester City on Wednesday was the loss of Aymeric Laporte to injury. The defender was playing in only his fourth match since recovering from a serious knee problem but limped off midway through the first half. He's had four or five months out and it's a problem when you come back," Guardiola said. He came back in this demanding game and we wanted him to be fit to the end. With John [Stones], Nico [Otamendi], Eric [Garcia], Fernandinho, we can get through.
Vardy's wait goes onLeicester looked typically slick and tidy and controlled much of the game's possession without getting Jamie Vardy into the game too often. The striker, who only made his top-flight debut at the age of 27, is remarkably just a goal away from reaching the landmark of 100 in the Premier League but his only sight of the net was a powerful shot driven wide on the spin. The introduction of Demarai Gray helped Leicester raise the tempo, and they finally tested Foster through Maddison's low shot seconds after Albrighton had thumped the post.
Through their bleating and their astonishing lack of self-awareness these three may have shown why Hearts are in such a hole right now, five points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership with two wins from 21 league games this season and only six wins from 38 league games in all of 2019. Did any of them admit to their own failings? Did even one of them say: 'I haven't been good enough and there are consequences for that'? Instead of looking at the big picture that couldn't be much uglier for Hearts or more daunting for Stendel they put themselves first and moaned.
It's all coming home to roost. This is going to get bad. The next six months are going to be really difficult. Under executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, United re-signed midfielder Paul Pogba from Juventus for a then world record £89m in August 2016. They also brought in striker Romelu Lukaku for £75m a year later, while they signed forward Alexis Sanchez in January 2018 on a four-and-a-half-year deal worth £14m a year after tax.
From the corner, Gray eventually clears. WHAT A SAVE! Brentford have a controversial corner, Fuchs is claiming he did not touch it. From the corner, Racic's volley is tipped over by Ward! 84' - DISALLOWED GOAL! The ball is volleyed in for Mbeumo who tucks it away from close range but is well off-side.
Monaco winger Gelson Martins has been banned for six months for twice pushing the referee in his side's Ligue 1 defeat at Nimes last month. Martins had been indefinitely banned after the incident on 1 February. The 24-year-old shoved referee Mickael Lesage after team-mate Tiemoue Bakayoko was sent off and pushed the official a second time after receiving a red card himself. Monaco lost the game 3-1 and are currently seventh in Ligue 1.

We are also going for a 1-0 victory for Parma, with the visitors scoring less than a goal per game this term. Brescia have lost by a single goal in 60% of their away defeats, so we are going with a 1-0 home win, given that these two have each seen exactly one goal in 50% of their respective home and away games.
Blackburn Rovers will host Bristol City for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be a very tense match. Both teams have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. Of course, both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. I think, Blackburn have advantage at home stadium. I think, they closer to victory. On the other hand Bristol City want to win. However, they have fallen in their shape. Of course, the visitors want to return to the winning track. True, this will not be an easy task. My pick - Blackburn to win.
City immediately signalled their intention to appeal to Cas. They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly due to the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media. They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them. How did we get here?Why legal battle with Uefa is a watershed momentMan City's European ban Q&A"We are ready," said manager Pep Guardiola on Friday.
Did you know? Willian has scored four goals in 17 Premier League appearances this season, more than he managed in the entirety of 2018-19 (when he got three goals in 32 games). Forwards - Riyad Mahrez (Man City), Danny Ings (Southampton), Mason Mount (Chelsea) Riyad Mahrez: Manchester City fans are still waiting to see the very best of Riyad Mahrez on a regular basis. Unfortunately for Leicester, the Algeria international saved one of his best performances to punish his former club.
As we enter into the new year, fans of Forest Green Rovers will already tell you that there has been two significant spells of the season for them already. The first saw them picking up vital wins at the start of the season and put them in a strong position towards the top of the division, the second saw them regularly failing to find the back of the net and pick up points, which of course saw their league position plummet.
One of the frontrunners for the title takes on the leading candidate for relegation in the K-League on Saturday. Ulsan Hyundai, second in the table, travel to Gwangju, who are bottom of the league after three games. Yet to even score a goal in this campaign, the future is bleak for Gwangju. The champions of the second tier in 2019, it looks as though Gwangju face an immediate return to their old stomping ground.
Goztepe's solid record against Trabzonspor in recent seasons is a cause for concern for punters backing the visitors. However, this Trabzonspor side contains a number of matchwinners who have shown time again that they're a special group. We believe that they can get the three points that they need.

You can judge me as you wish. SPINAZZOLA PUTS TRANSFER CONFUSION BEHIND HIM Leonardo Spinazzola played a key part in AS Roma's 3-1 win over Genoa on Sunday, days after a move to Inter Milan fell through.

Noble stepped up confidently to put away the penalty - which was given after minimal contact from Ndidi on Sebastien Haller in the box - and Manuel Lanzini came close to an equaliser when he almost poked in a loose ball from Michail Antonio's rebounded flick. Leicester rode the simmering pressure and began to settle again - Iheanacho and James Maddison being denied before Perez eventually thumped in the third goal from the spot after Angelo Ogbonna's clumsy tackle on Iheanacho.

in my opinion this is going to be very interesting game and I Expect from both teams to attack for the win because on one side Anyang started with two defeats and on the other gyeongnam started with two draws so that offense from both sides should give to us very fun game to watch and I think most probably both teams will score at least a goal and I do not expect 1-1 to be correct score at the end so I think over 2.5 is very realistic and in head to head matches there is a lot of goals usually
Both clubs disagreed with calls to switch the game to Madrid, but will share the same hotel in the lead-up to Wednesday game and travel at the same time two hours before kick-off amid security concerns. Zidane said: "That's something different for us. We've been told that we have to leave together and that's what we'll do. There's nothing else to explain. The important thing is that the game goes ahead.
Charlton was part of the Leeds team that won the 1972 FA CupDespite not being called into the England team until days before his 30th birthday, Charlton won 35 caps and, playing alongside younger brother Bobby, lifted the Jules Rimet Trophy at Wembley in 1966. He also helped England finish third at the 1968 European Championship, and was voted the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year in 1967.
Uefa urged clubs to "explore all possible options" to finish their seasons. It accepted that in "special cases" some could be cancelled, but asked authorities to use "a different format" if needed in order for teams to qualify for European competitions. If league seasons cannot be finished, it said national associations would need to select clubs to qualify for Europe. Uefa said it could "refuse or evaluate" selected teams if necessary.
Everton managed their first clean sheet in nine matches in the last game; a 0-0 home draw with Arsenal. They have a new manager coming in and all eyes will be on what impact this brings. Their draw against Arsenal marked an improvement but had nothing spectacular about it. They face a Burnley side on two straight wins and clean sheets, in a game that is not known for many draws. Everton have not done so well at home and the same applies to Burnley. However, we expect them to build on the draw with Arsenal and having Ancelotti on the touchline should also be inspirational. We feel Everton will be well motivated for a win here.
The Cottagers may be favourites here, but they have struggled against the top teams. They’ve failed to win against any of the top nine in the Championship, with Saturday bringing a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol City. When you combine that return with a Preston side who were a minute shy of an unbeaten home record this term, we struggle to see why Fulham are so strongly fancied. We see Preston avoiding defeat here, with the division’s strongest home side well priced to not lose this week.
The fireworks started at Anfield long before that Premier League trophy was presented to Liverpool on the Kop - normally the beating heart of the club's support but instead adorned by flags on this night of celebration. Liverpool's 5-3 win against Chelsea, a fittingly entertaining finale to their third successive unbeaten Premier League season at Anfield, was played out to the soundtrack of thunderous explosions, red lights in the sky and the smell of cordite.

Senderos, who also made two appearances on loan at Everton, played in Major League Soccer for Houston Dynamo from 2017-18 and he ended his career in his native Switzerland with FC Chiasso in the second tier.

I look forward to the next chapter.

I learned at big clubs that when they win a trophy, they go to take a shower and then they think about the next. It's so nice what we have done in the last three years but tomorrow we have another 'final'," Guardiola told reporters. Away in the FA Cup is always difficult, for the fact how important this competition is for clubs in England.

I said to him, as he asked me for my name: "I've never been booked before for giving a referee a black look!" Midgely stooped down, as though he was tying his boot so to hide his face so no-one could see him laughing. It took him a full 15 seconds to regain his composure. The point being exchanges between players and officials have always been commonplace but only in extreme circumstances are they ever reported.
That followed a call from Italy’s sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora to suspend the league amid the coronavirus outbreak. The game eventually started 75 minutes later than planned, and SPAL earned a valuable three points thanks to a second-half Petagna spot kick, which lifted them off bottom and into 19th place on 18 points, two ahead of Brescia.
I always wanted to gain promotion with Charlton, and we tried for a very long time, but it just didn't happen," said Graham.

I'm going to keep going until my body says no' - Hibs' McGregor'Rare injury' blow for Rangers defender HelanderCentral defender Filip Helander could be sidelined until after the January winter break with what Gerrard described as a "quite a rare" foot injury. Nikola Katic has replaced the Swede in the past two matches and was on target in the 2-0 win at Fir Park, while Jermain Defoe is expected to step in for Morelos.
In the second leg, we will do it, I promise you, in the same way," he said. We always try to attack the opponents very early and try to win the ball high up in their half. Today, in the second half, we tried to create a bit more on the counter. The first half was very good. We created three or four chances after two minutes.
It's all about timing, football. Right place, right time," Curtis sighs. I would have got my chance. I can't say I'd be where Troy is now, but we would both have got our chances. As time wore on, Curtis became disenchanted with the game. He signed professional terms with Walsall at 18, for £150 a week, but had already begun to feel his enthusiasm wane. They weren't looking for footballers," he says.
