Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Saturday's derby at Manchester City is a chance to turn "doubt into belief" for his side. Following their worst start to a season since 1988, United beat Tottenham in midweek to go sixth in the top flight. We're going away against arguably the best team in England," said Solskjaer, whose side are eight points from fourth in the Premier League. It will be a difficult game but we need consistency.
There’s been major change since this fixture last season, which kicked off the new Championship campaign. Frank Lampard’s Derby County won late on their way to the playoffs, the first defeat of a tough 16 months which saw two Reading managers fired.
That put Leeds behind in a league match at Elland Road for only the second time this season and, without injured forward Pablo Hernandez, the hosts struggled to create clear chances until the midway point of the second half. Left-back Ezgjan Alioski hit the post with a powerful low drive from the edge of the area and sliced a shot over the bar after a cross had broken to him in the box, while Preston goalkeeper Declan Rudd made stunning saves to keep out headers from Alioski and substitute Eddie Nketiah.

Mourinho and PogbaGetty Images The question: What role does Paul Pogba play? If you put everything else about Paul Pogba to one side there is still one great misunderstanding about Pogba and that is, at the age of 27, where he does he play best on the pitch? What is the role of Paul Pogba? So far in his career his positional flexibility has become a paradoxical limit for Pogba.
But we need him as this squad is light and desperately needs numbers and quality,With days to go, it seems we're only in for Bruno Fernandes. I hope his arrival - that is, if we get the deal over the line - aids our lack of creativity and helps us break down dogged teams. My fear is we lack goals in the side again, and in the short term I'd take a punt on Edinson Cavani, to become - like Henrik Larsson - a mini-darling of the Stretford End.

Over 3.5 goals were produced in three of Vizela’s last five matches as well as in two of Benfica’s last four outings, making our final score prediction of 3-1 look even more realistic. Benfica average over two goals per game away from home in the Primeira Liga this season, so shouldn’t have too much of an issue scoring three goals against a side sitting two divisions below them. Both teams have scored in 40% of Benfica’s away games in the Primeira Liga and if they do rotate their squad as expected then Vizela’s chances of getting on the scoreboard will also increase.

Hapoel Bnei Lod vs Hapoel Ironi Akko after the restart of the league Israel leumit League relegation round. Bnei lod sit 6th place in the relegation zone and collected total 26 points. The team is 6 points behind the safe zone and the team must need a win. But it is unusual case that they win because the last time they won it was 7 games ago. Hapoel ironi sit slightly better position and managed a total number of 32 points and 6 points clear of the drop zone. They will be satisfied with a draw. Top of that the team has managed to draw 6 away games and total 11 games. I think the away team will try for a draw.
And fortunately for them, having just missed an easier chance, Considine glanced the ball into the net from McGinn's cross to salvage extra-time. Mind you, that might not have needed had Brophy not lashed another clear opening over, and Cosgrove's header not rattled the crossbar at the death. Mohamed El Makrini's overhead kick looked like winning the tieThe great escape to save season?The full-time whistle allowed the increasingly frantic crowd inside Rugby Park to draw some breath.
Sadio Mane's goal restored Liverpool's 13-point lead over Leicester City at the top of the table but it was only confirmed after a lengthy VAR review to check for a possible handball by Adam Lallana in the build-up. We're in December and coming into January. Players standing around that long is not good," Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp said.
Various clubs have reduced pay for staff, let some go, and furloughed others. The Professional Footballers' Association is currently negotiating a possible pay reduction for its players. Jenkins added that, "other members of the senior management team have also offered to take significant reductions in their remuneration".

the 35th match day of Spanish La Liga 2 where Ponferradina will host Racing Santander. The hosts sit 9th and collected 47 points. Racing Santander sit 22nd place with 29 points. Ponferradina kept alive their chances of accessing at least the promotion playoff round to get a place in the La liga, their rival is last and although they have improved in the last games, Ponferradina is one of the best teams in the championship at home. They have only lost a game in 17 games with 8 wins and 8 draws, in addition to the average number of goals conceded below 0.65. I am going with the victory of Ponferradina
Subs: De Bruyne 6, Bernardo 7, Jesus 6. KEY MOMENTS 20’ GOAL! Aston Villa 0-1 Manchester City (Aguero) City take the lead with an excellently worked goal. Rodri curled an angled pass over the defence to Foden, who headed it down into the path of Aguero on the six-yard line. He twisted his body to hit a first-time shot that took a slight deflection off Mings and beat Nyland.
Could it be postponed further? It is entirely possibe that the Premier League could be offline for months. Italy suspended its league only a couple of weeks ago but with the country nowhere near ready to resume anything like normal service, it is not clear if they will be able to restart. If England goes through something as analogous, if only in the scale of the disruption, then it could be an eventual delay of months, not weeks.

Stargard Szczecinski is going to face Bytovia Bytow. The hosts of this match won two matches in a row and today this match will be crucial for them. If they beat Bytovia they will stay in the 6th place in the league standings. I expect here a balanced clash and that's why there is a chance to not see more than 2 goals. Bytovia is pretty weak on away as they scored only 12 goals in 12 matches. I don't think that they will try to score here more goals and they should focus on the defense. I pick under 2.5 goals
But once you separate the emotion from it, you realise that it's football and sometimes football is cruel. It's difficult to do that, though. Even now, 12 months on, I feel a combination of anger at the referee and at VAR and anger that we didn't shut up shop better when we were 3-0 up with 16 minutes to go. We already felt aggrieved because decisions didn't go our way in the first couple of games, and we maybe felt a bit like we didn't really belong at the tournament.
But the fact their three leading candidates play in defence, midfield and attack show how strong they have been in every area this season. Alex Scott: Jordan Henderson (2)It is hard to decide this year but, in a team where there are so many big names around him that often take the limelight, Henderson has been a driving force. His hard work has allowed those superstars to shine. Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea: Henderson on 'amazing feeling' of lifting Premier League trophy When you consider what he has had to come through, with people doubting whether he can be a leader, and whether he should even play for Liverpool or England, for him to have been such a key part of a title-winning team is extraordinary.

But much like Klopp, Watford boss Nigel Pearson did not want to overplay the significance of the result in their battle for Premier League survival. It is just one game," he said of the win that moved his side out of the bottom three on goal difference. We have 10 left and we have to try and emulate today in terms of performance. The results have not been what we wanted. We found it difficult to find ways of winning games.
Whatever the outcome following this appalling decision the club will continue as before. However, there is no denying this decision has a huge financial impact. We have invested heavily this year in a host of areas and the loss of promotion will also affect some of our revenue assumptions for next season. My message to all our SSFC fans and sponsors is - sorry a huge disappointment and we've all been badly let down.
The message in the future must be no matter if you're 2-0 down or 2-0 up. Leicester (City). This was a hit that hurt but in the end it can help us as we learn from it. When we want to be a top 10 team then we need to win these games. We haven't done it so far. We have a chance now on Tuesday. Southampton, 13th, take on Palace who are ninth in the table and Hasenhuettl said he was aware of how well-drilled Roy Hodgson's side are at home.

Kenyan champions Gor Mahia have turned to fans to bail them out of a financial crisis that has seen players from one of the country's biggest clubs go without pay for at least five months. In an unusual move, the record 19-time Kenyan champions are appealing to fans to convert loyalty points accrued by subscribers to a mobile phone company into cash for the club. Known as 'bonga' points, the loyalty scheme enables subscribers to start accumulating points as soon as they are registered, with extra points coming for extra data usage.
When I see people speaking. He's trying to do his best, it's normal until Jan. It is a normal consequence of the situation. For a few matches people are saying he's playing his last game. Eriksen plays tomorrow. Mourinho said the eighth-placed club are also on the lookout for a striker with their talisman Harry Kane ruled out until April due to a hamstring injury.
Dyche's mission now is to try to regain some of that momentum in the next few weeks. Man of the match: Phil Foden (Man City) Foden scored two and helped make another in a sparkling performance. It is just a shame there were no fans at the Etihad to give his performance the acclaim it deserved when he was replaced by Sane before the end. What's next? Burnley host Watford on Thursday (18:00 BST) while Manchester City play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge later the same evening (20:15).
There were some late goals under Ferguson before that, but Bruce’s header was the symbolic start of the phenomenon that would become known as Fergie Time. Last-minute goals encapsulate my history at United,” said Ferguson in 2014. I love them. I could talk about them all the time. He loved them for their euphoric impact – “the electricity in the dressing-room is unbelievable” – and what they signified.
However, with United's slump in recent years and uncertainty over City's Champions League future, Kane would prefer to move to the Serie A giants. Paper Round’s view: If indeed Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus are the only three clubs seriously interested in Kane this summer, then a move to Italy would make sense.
Now you have to deal with it a second time. All my thoughts are with you, my prayers. You just have to hang on. Stay strong. Hopefully I'll see you soon.
