Liverpool are unbeaten in the league this season and hold an eight-point lead at the top after a 3-1 win over champions Manchester City in their last game. Eight of their 28 league goals have come in the first 15 minutes of each half. It's incredible, I think they make a conscious effort each half to go full throttle for the first 15 minutes," Townsend told the Premier League website https://www.

Borussia Dortmund 1-0 FC Cologne (Aug 19, 2023) Final Game summary of the Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Cologne German Bundesliga game, final score 1-0, from August 19, 2023 on ESPN.
The result left Monaco, who would have been within three points of third place in Ligue 1 if they had won, in ninth place on 40 points from 28 games. Nice climbed up to sixth on 41 points, behind Stade Reims, who beat Brest 1-0, on goal difference. Leaders Paris St Germain's trip to RC Strasbourg on Saturday was postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Hi! The last time these two met, Galatasaray have won 2-1. Six of the previous eight matches had goals at either end of the net. Not bad for taking bet on both teams will score :) Why not? Especially at first half of this meeting. Five of the last six games ended in home wins. Nice performance by Galatasaray makes me worry about only victory by a single goal, as the game can be tight enough well, because both teams are neighbors - one is on 4 place( Basaksehir) and the other team is on 5th place as well. But let's hope for the best and try to risk on DRAW 0:0. Good luck!
He scored the first, too, confidently converting a penalty that he won just before half-time. The opening goal settled United down after a nervous start to the game, with Watford creating some good opportunities on the break. They thought they had equalised early in the second half as well, but Troy Deeney’s goal was ruled out by VAR because of handball by Craig Dawson.
We’re confident that PSV will win-to-nil this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts certainly haven’t been at their best so far this season and must improve in the second half of the campaign but their home record is strong while Zwolle’s is poor. PSV really enjoy playing against this particular opponent and the only reason we have backed a 2-0 win as opposed to a scoreline much more convincing is due to the form of the hosts heading into Saturday’s clash.
He wants the best from everyone," Stones said. Every day he demands and expects the highest quality from everyone. He wants drive and determination to succeed from everyone. That is evident more than ever now because we have the hunger that comes from lifting trophies and winning games. When that doesn't go right, he drives us to win and get back to how we are and what we know. That is very special for someone to get across but he definitely transcends that through the team.
New contract for Klopp Jurgen Klopp has announced that he has extended his deal with Liverpool and will stay at the club (maybe) until 2024. The club appear to be in full swing and on the up following their Champions League win, the Minamino deal and their place at the top of the league. Gerrard signs new deal Steven Gerrard has signed a new contract at Rangers, following the club's qualification for the Europa League knockout group.
Incheon United will host Daegu for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Daegu is very average team in this league. However, they have the potential to pick up the victory. In any case, I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, the hosts want to get a positive result at the start of the new season. However, Incheon is one of the main outsiders in this league. I think, they have a very difficult task. So, I believe, Daegu is really better team. I think, Daegu will win.
The Jambos have struggled in their travels this season and have also lost in their last 2 away days. The Edinburgh club has also failed to score in any of their last 4 trips, bringing their average goals for down to a measly 0.71 for the season, with the club failing to score in 57% of away trips. Moreover, Hearts have conceded 1.57 times and have kept a clean sheet in just 23% of their overall games.
It's been far from a spectacular campaign for the Shrews, but they continue to go quietly about their business. Sam Rickett's men have won each of their last two, defeating two play-off chasers, while they've now lost just one of their last five and only two of their last ten.
Everybody is fit and it is a testament to the conditioning work and work done by people away from lights," Wilder added. There's always an element of luck with injuries, but an element of conditioning and hard work away from first team games. It gives us the opportunity to rotate if we want to, whether on Thursday night or Sunday.
Over the past four years, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have all failed to qualify for the Champions League. Tottenham will miss out next season. Should City's ban be reduced to a single season - a season that will be squeezed by the fallout from Covid-19 and finishing with both the European Championship and Copa America in June and July - they could put forward a pretty persuasive argument for why all their biggest names should stay where they are.
He posted a video on social media of himself at an airport wearing a mask and apparently mocking a man of Asian appearance. He later apologised. Alli, 23, has been charged with breaching FA Rule E3 (1) as the post was deemed 'insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute'. He has until March 5 to submit his response.
The 30-year-old was close to leaving for China last summer, while he has endured a difficult season with Madrid's supporters booing him after after Bale posed with a flag that read: "Wales, golf, Madrid, in that order. He joined Real from Tottenham in 2013 for a then-world record fee and has won the Champions League four times since moving to Spain. Real are currently in Saudi Arabia competing for the Spanish Super Cup and will play Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in the final after beating Valencia 3-1 on Wednesday.
One very good reason for taking the home win in this one even with cover on the draw bet is the fact that Valencia in their last 10 home games has a record of 7-3-0, Real Madrid and Chelsea only drew here while Barcelona lost 2-0 here not so long ago, and usually Valencia is bossing their games at home while Atletico is not really the type of side to be dominating games, looking at their recent starting eleven I also see many missing players and overall a weak side compared to the previous seasons.
One of the banners their fans displayed when they played in Malmo disparagingly described the Swedes as their "little brother", and some take pleasure in the vitriol directed towards them. Copenhagen fans find it very amusing that Malmo fans hate us so much. They write stuff like 'plastic fan' on Twitter and it's like 'dude, relax'. They feel the hate so intensely and we don't," said Sarah Skarum, FC Copenhagen fan and journalist for Danish broadsheet Politiken.
Fukushima Olympic Flame display cancelled The exhibition of the Olympic Flame, due to remain on display in Fukushima until the end of the month, will be cancelled over coronavirus concerns, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee announced on Tuesday. In what was intended as a symbol of resilience, the flame went on display a week ago at the J-Village, Japan's national soccer training centre, used as a rescue headquarters during the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant in 2011.
In the end, we’re expecting Arsenal to take the win. Their New Year’s Day victory will have boosted morale and they have a fantastic record of seven wins from their last nine FA Cup games. Leeds have lost four of their last five FA Cup ties and seven of their last nine away games in the competition. The Gunners have scored two goals per game on average at the Emirates this season, so a 2-1 correct score prediction looks a great choice.
EVERTON CHANCE! Calvert-Lewin sees his goal-bound shot brilliantly blocked after good work by Richarlison on the left of the area. KEY STATS Gabriel Martinelli's effort in the 44th minute was Arsenal's first shot in the match, their longest wait for a first attempt in a Premier League game since May 2015 against Man Utd (51st minute).
With Cheltenham they were following at the time the government guidelines," he told Good Morning Britain. They were the ones that had asked for advice. I suppose that will be the same when we stopped and when do we go back - the same people will be making decisions. Look, the reality of it is that a lot of lives have been lost because of it [coronavirus].
BARCELONA, April 13 (Reuters) - Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has criticised his club for their recent treatment of him and for trying to force his departure last year. The Croatian has been at Barca since 2014 but has fallen out of contention this campaign due to the arrival of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong and has only started 10 of Barca's 27 La Liga matches.
Juventus are unbeaten at home in Serie A this season. Lazio have lost three of their last four league matches. Lazio have only won one of their last four away league fixtures. Juventus really should have clinched the title by now. After the latest set of fixtures, they still have a six point lead at the top with just five games to go and now host fourth placed Lazio.
Should Arsenal finish outside the top four then Aubameyang could well look elsewhere. That appears very likely, but Arsenal will not let go of him easily. Chelsea, Spurs eye Onana Chelsea and Tottenham monitoring Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana but know they will face competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, the Mirror reports.

Dortmund, who led 2-0 and 3-2, had only themselves to blame as they failed to close the gap to the top, staying four points behind Leipzig in third place. Dortmund, having won their previous three league games, looked to be cruising to victory when Julian Weigl fired in to give them the lead in the 23rd minute.
There was no complaint about the England international's second goal of the night, though, as he raced on to Kevin de Bruyne's superb through ball and chipped brilliantly past an advancing Rui Patricio. It was the first time Sterling had scored two in a league game since the opening day of the season - and City seemed certain to become only the sixth team in Premier League history to win after having a man sent off in the opening 12 minutes.
Serie A chief executive Luigi de Siervo said the league's commitment against all forms of prejudice was "strong and concrete". He added: "We know that racism is an endemic and very complex problem, which we will tackle on three different levels: the cultural one, through works like that of Simone; the sporting one, with a series of initiatives together with clubs and players; and the repressive one, thanks to collaboration with the police.
I'm here to win and start something new. The last time I won something was at Ajax so it's many years ago. I still remember the feeling so I want to achieve it here as well. Inter Milan are three points behind Juventus in Serie A and in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia as well as the last 32 of the Europa League.
These two teams got promoted together from the 2nd league level last season in Germany only difference was that Paderborn finished in the top 2 places and promoted directly while Union Berlin had a tough double leg with Stuttgart but played really well drawing first 2-2 on the road and also a 0-0 draw at home to promote. This season they drew just 1-1 in the game played at Paderborn, and Union Berlin even if they lost this game are very likely to be saved from relegation at the end of this round as they have 7 points more than the bottom 3 clubs.
I heard people say Romelu Lukaku was a donkey. I heard all sorts not even that long ago!"Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte was certainly unimpressed earlier this week by past criticism of his striker, and it is easy to see why. In his first season at the Italian club, Romelu Lukaku has hit 14 goals in just 18 games - outscoring Cristiano Ronaldo - and has helped Inter to the top of Serie A as they look to threaten Juventus' eight-year dominance of the league.
Former United States manager Jill Ellis is the best candidate to replace Phil Neville as England boss, says former international Eniola Aluko. But Aluko says the Football Association must be prepared to pay Ellis - who won back-to-back World Cups with the USA in 2015 and 2019 - the same as England men's boss Gareth Southgate. Neville will step down when his contract ends in the summer of 2021. She has that pedigree and she has that experience," Aluko told Sky Sports.
Until we test them we don't know what works and what doesn't work. Would there be any unforeseen consequences?" Players sometimes deliberately waste time in dead ball situations while their team is ahead, or sometimes level, because they hope the referee will not stop his watch. The lack of transparency about exactly when time is added on seemingly encourages players to indulge in the annoying antics.
This was a strong, strong, strong performance. So mature and so clear in all things," Klopp added. We try with all we have. There will be moments especially between the games where we have to switch the machine off and then switch it on again and be there. We have only three days and play Red Bull Salzburg in an all or nothing game.
We will continue working with the authorities on this, including the Professional Footballers' Association and we don't rule out taking further steps if required. Cheslea centre-back Rudiger reported the alleged racist abuse from the crowd to his captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who told referee Anthony Taylor and the game was stopped. Shortly after the stoppage, an announcement made over the public address system warned that "racist behaviour is interfering with the game".

Bristol’s loss in the last game saw them drop out of the promotion playoff zone and they will need to put up a great show here against a side that has been so impressive lately. They have won three and lost two in their last five matches but with a run of five wins and four losses with five clean sheets kin the last 10 matches would give the impression they have what it takes to go for three points here.
Osasuna B will play against Salamanca CF UDS in the Spain Segunda division. Salamanca have some chances to take the all the points here in this match. Osasuna B bagged 29 points after 18 matches so far in this season and sir on top zone at the table but have only 3 points adrift of the Salamanca. They are coming from a draw and won only twice in in the last 5 matches. Salamanca are in good form and are coming from a win and so despite away I see some chances for them and I like the odds offered here.
