We don't give Premier League games as Christmas presents. Klopp added that he did not think "these kind of questions" will be asked of Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and Manchester United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Following their defeat by City, Klopp took issue with questions from the media as he defended his side's attitude. Liverpool host 18th-placed Aston Villa on Sunday at 16:30 BST before facing Brighton, who are in 15th, on Wednesday at 20:15.
The Belgian forward, who took his league tally for the season to 16, broke the deadlock in the 64th minute and converted a penalty seven minutes later for new-look Inter, who had been on the back foot for much of the game. Inter, with 51 points from 22 games, stayed three points behind leaders Juventus, who beat Fiorentina 3-0 earlier on Sunday, and two ahead of Lazio, who thumped SPAL 5-1.
Sadio Mane, the orchestrator of Liverpool's 5-2 Merseyside derby victory over Everton on Wednesday, was an unused substitute alongside centre-forward Divock Origi, while 18-year-old Curtis Jones came on for his Premier League debut. All in all, it was a successful afternoon for Liverpool, who just keep getting the job done. Injuries piling up for Bournemouth Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake was comforted by Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk as he walked off the pitchEddie Howe's side were taught a lesson by the league leaders, but any hopes of an upset had been wiped away early on when centre-back Ake pulled up clutching his hamstring after making a superb last-ditch tackle on Salah.
According to the Sun, the Togo international is valued at around £22 million and the Spanish club have reportedly already rejected a bid worth £12. French side AS Monaco. Arsenal and Tottenham are both looking to cure their defensive crisis with the signing of Dakonam. Everton, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are also said to be interested in signing the 28-year-old.
I know a lot was made of Sven-Goran Eriksson playing me on the left-hand side of midfield but that was never the problem. My form in the last 20 or 30 caps wasn’t quite good enough and Steven and Frank were two top-class players who he went with centrally. I was on the left but I played there many times for United and was quite successful there, scored a few goals so it was never really why I left England.
Bahrain vs. Malaysia 2 days ago — Bahrain and Malaysia need all three points to have any chance of keeping pace with the top half of Group E in the AFC Asian Cup.
Celtic would seize the early initiative this time, though. McGregor collected the ball at the edge of the area, and the Scotland midfielder lashed home to make it 1-0. It was a superb strike. But Livingston know how to cause mayhem from long throws. Ciaron Brown hurled the ball toward goal, Fraser Forster came for it but failed to get enough of a fist on the ball and it fell to Guthrie, who hooked it over his shoulder for his fifth of the season.
Meanwhile, Mallorca remain just one point above the relegation zone after a comprehensive 0-2 loss against Sevilla at Son Moix on Matchday 18. Vicente Moreno's men have picked up just a single point from their last five La Liga matches and head to Andalusia having lost seven of their eight away matches so far.
Others attending included Mino Raiola, who represents Manchester United's Paul Pogba and former Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes. Mel Stein, the AFA life president, said a united policy had been agreed. FIFA said the soccer body was "aiming for a system of balanced and reasonable regulation, instead of the law of the jungle currently in place, with conflicts of interests rife and exorbitant 'commissions' being earned left and right.
In terms of a correct score tip, we think that there will be little to choose between these two sides as the hosts solid home form is cancelled out by their lack of current form while the visitors troubles on the road is balanced against their recent improvements in front of goal. Doncaster average 1.6 goals per game at home this term and have scored four times in their last four matches. Meanwhile, Accrington average just 0.73 goals per game but have that recent improvement in their favour. All of this leads us to believe that backing a 1-1 draw is the way to go.
Not that the Spurs fans will mind too much – this change in strategy has seen their goalscoring ability rise dramatically, scoring 16 goals in these seven matches and winning five of them. They may be behind the curve when it comes to beating high level opposition, but they certainly know how to make their dominance count against the lesser sides.

But 26 games and 11 months later, the Paraguay international still hadn't found the net, or even registered an assist. To his credit, though, Steve Bruce kept faith in the 25-year-old and in defending him in his pre-match conference, the Newcastle head coach insisted a first goal was only around the corner.
Ansan greeners started season good with a win over Anyang on the road but after that they lost 3 in a row and I think it is pretty realistic to say that another defeat is likely going to happen for them tomorrow in the morning versus Jeju united,Jeju has just 1 win in 4 rounds and that 1 win was on the road versus Bucheon in last round and I m pretty confident they will now win two in a row and the odd on them is very good so I surely want to recommend this bet to the anyone

Having faced and turned over one of the clubs they were promoted from the Championship with in the summer at Carrow Road, the Blades will be aiming to repeat the trick when they host play-off winners Aston Villa at Bramall Lane on Saturday.
Wolves have not done so well in the recent matches; they have managed just one win this year. While they have what it takes, as seen in their game against Manchester City, they somehow fall short against weaker teams. They have already lost to united this season and with one win in seven matches, and playing at Old Trafford, they won’t be in a very strong position. They have no clean sheet in their last nine league matches but have scored in 15 of their last 15 matches. United do not have so many clean sheets and we can’t back them to keep one here. We are going for a Manchester United win here.
Salah: Two goals against an outclassed Brighton has put Salah back in contention for the coveted Golden Boot award. At the moment the trophy is contested by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings and Salah. The Egypt international looked desperate to get his hat-trick against the Seagulls and should have done when he missed a sitter in the final minutes. Liverpool played this game as though the title was still at stake.

Neither Hudson-Odoi nor Chelsea have commented on the events of Sunday morning, with the arrest made at 03:53 BST.
For Kewell, the fact they did it 3,400 miles from home and in a competition that has had its credibility questioned, was more evidence that Klopp has built a squad of serial winners. To be honest, as a Liverpool fan, I really want to see them destroy teams early on - but at the moment they are creating a lot of chances they are not finishing," he explained. The great thing about this side, though, is that they don't seem to give up - and I don't think you can ever switch off against them.
Inter have a crucial midweek clash coming up in the Champions League, but their last 16 push there will be on hold. Inter need to overturn the one-point lead Juve hold over them, so this could be a crucial day in the title race with both sides facing difficult trips. With a seven-point gap between Inter and third, there’s an obvious two-way battle, something the hosts could scupper.

Sporting Lisbon will make their way into the knock-out stages of the Europa League if winning this game. With their final group match being away to LASK, they will be keen to get qualification sorted out this Thursday. They have a good chance of doing just that as their home form is solid with two wins out of two in this group. PSV are well behind in their domestic league and struggling for form. Away results are poor too, so the tip here is for a home win.

Three Portsmouth players, James Bolton, Andy Cannon and Sean Raggett, have tested positive for coronavirus. The League One side said the trio are all self-isolating and the club has notified Public Health England. All players and first-team staff were tested earlier in the week and the club said they are still awaiting around half of the results of the tests. All three players were in good spirits and perfectly calm," Portsmouth chief executive Mark Catlin said.
I had to reintroduce myself to my family," Jan Siewert says, reflecting on the strain a fraught seven months in charge of Huddersfield Town put on his home life. I remember people in the cul-de-sac saying, 'You left at seven and came back at 10,' and it was like that, but it was needed. A football manager's duties are many and onerous. It is an all-consuming job, one which demands obsession and leaves little room for outside interests - doubly so for a 36-year-old coach taking his first steps in top-flight senior management.
Before he wasn't able to do it because of a lack of strength physically. After a long period with no injuries, he could build up that strength - now he is a complete player. He just needs to prove this over a longer period to become a top international star. Solving the Gnabry 'mystery'Former Arsenal boss Wenger has suggested Gnabry's move to Werder Bremen was "manipulated behind the scenes" by Bayern Munich, who he joined after one season in the Bundesliga.
Martial’s problem is that he has set such a low bar. To improve the side, all Ighalo needs to do is stay active across the front, give Fernandes somebody to aim at, and be able to bring those to his left and right into the game. He has shown himself moderately competent at all disciplines. Not brilliant, but capable.
