Nevertheless, his recent form for City suggests he is well deserving of a call-up to the full squad, and he could prove to be an essential part of the England midfield for years to come.

Home team FK Gomel are suffering from bitter fruits after a comprehensive change of play in this season. Their generous style of play makes them the third-highest scoring team in the tournament so far, with 21 goals in just 13 rounds. Remember, Gomel last season only scored 16 goals. However, it was because of that "openness" that FK Gomel revealed too many weaknesses in the rear and suffered the most goals conceded in the tournament. Gomel has no sign of changing the game, so things will not change. They are going through a very poor series. Specifically, FK Gomel was unable to win the last 10 matches, including up to 8 losses
The loss of wingers Ryan Fraser and Harry Wilson will have the biggest impact on the starting XI, while the departure of some of the old guard who got the club promoted in 2015 will leave a gap in the squad overall. While the Cherries do have many talented young prospects, it will be interesting to see if Eddie Howe continues to rely so heavily on them to provide the depth and cover for the first team.

However, Baer-Hoffmann welcomed the decision to postpone Euro 2020 to give the chance for the current domestic seasons to be played out during the summer -- if the health situation permitted them to re-start by then.

But it was off the pitch that United's impact was arguably bigger. Despite the women's team having only existed for 12 months, the club's global fan base helped draw a crowd of 31,000 when they faced Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on the first day of the season and they attracted the fourth highest average attendance in the league at their Leigh Sports Village ground.
Robert Huth was fantastic at it. He didn't have a lot of peace but in training nobody was getting past him. If someone was quicker than him, they would push it and he would step across with the forearm every time, straight into the face. It didn't matter if it was training or a match. Whoever it is, they are getting a forearm. It puts that element of doubt into a winger's mind. I've seen it so many times, with top players laying it off, thinking: 'I'm not going through that again'.
We had the game completely under control. We just did not use our chances," Dortmund coach Lucien Favre told reporters. We had five, six big chances. It was easy to make the 2-0 and the 3-0. It is silly, just silly. We are a bit tired. Two injuries at halftime and we played too complicated. We always want to do the special thing.
His heat map on the right came in the Reds' 1-0 win over Wolves on 29 December and shows how he takes up much deeper positions in that role. Defensively sound, and an attacking threat'His versatility is really important for Liverpool but he does not just fill a gap - he brings something to every position he plays. When he plays on the right of Liverpool's midfield three, I think it benefits Trent Alexander-Arnold so much more than when anyone else is there, because the full-back knows he can trust Henderson to fill in behind him, and they can work together going in both directions.

In the end Liverpool, as champions do, got the job done. It was not an encounter that will live long in the memory but it keeps Klopp's side on course to add a couple more records to an already incredible season - the most points in a top-flight campaign and matching Sunderland's 128-year-old record of winning every home game in a season.

Get the Titanic music out - this goal secured a tie with Liverpool: Zero: Bristol City For not signing Aaron Pierre after a trial in 2017. RETRO CORNER It’s 20 years to the day since Ipswich Town’s Gary Croft became the first professional footballer to play wearing an electronic tag. Sadly there's no footage of Croft's 19-minute run-out, so you'll have to take our word for it, but you can watch the goals from that game below if you fancy… HAT-TIP "Shilton sighs at the reality that, for all his records and successes, he is often remembered most for being the victim of Diego Maradona’s infamous Hand of God goal in a 1986 World Cup quarter-final in Mexico City.
But with that trio out injured, the more senior frontline, including Willian, appeared rejuvenated on Sunday and all scored. Those will be lessons that Lampard, still in his second season of management, will learn from. He is also acutely aware of how much more Chelsea need to improve. A quick look at the Premier League table - where Liverpool are 34 points better off than his team - or the sobering first-leg Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, or the recent form of Manchester United, means he still thinks his team are underdogs for a top-four place.

Whether it's an individual or a big group, they can explain what's happened in their lives. Sitting down and talking with black players from all over the world could be quite eye-opening for them. Video - Toure: 'A big, big statement if players left pitch due to racism'01:08 I'm not sure about whether they support their team or whether they just go to vent their anger.
That sort of approach has been welcomed by supporters, like Martyn Berridge, who has been a season ticket holder for over 30 years and views Chelsea as a "work in progress". Chelsea are 34 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool"There has been no discontent," he told BBC Sport. Everyone realises Lampard is doing a great job with what he's got and it's so refreshing to see so many young players coming through.
Both teams found the net in seven of Chelsea's last 12 games and in 62% of their Premier League games overall this season, and it's in that BTTS market that we feel the best value lies for Saturday's game.
Defensively, both teams have floundered, so a low-scoring game seems unlikely, but it is the hosts who stand out as likely winners, or at least more likely than the current prices suggest. Last time out at this venue, Benfica got the better of a very useful Lyon side. On that occasion, they were clinical, which bodes well ahead of a game against a Zenit side that has given plenty away on the road. In Russia, Zenit are very tough to face but it's well known that they don't travel well. They can make their presence felt offensively on Tuesday, but their defensive exploits, especially when losing away to Leipzig, point towards them struggling.
West Ham can feel themselves lucky not to be in the bottom three. The only reason they are because the current occupants of the relegation zone have just one win between them in the last 15 league games played. West Ham haven't taken advantage of that with seven of their last nine league games being lost and just four points earned.
