We need (Jesus) to score these goals, they will help him and the team. We’ve lost an incredible striker in Sergio," said Guardiola. Rodri was incredible for his physicality. The way he trains, he wants to learn, it’s nice to talk to him about tactics. In the right moment he helped us, he adjusted and he’s perfect for this league, and I think Manchester City bought an incredible player for the next years," he said.
Championship is a 'bubble waiting to burst' - 5 Live investigationIt will hear from both the Rams and the EFL, although a date has not been announced. In March 2019, Birmingham City were deducted nine points by the EFL for a similar charge of breaching profitability and sustainability rules. The Rams are 17th in the Championship and 10 points above the relegation zone. Between 1 July, 2017 and 30 June, 2018, Derby recorded a pre-tax profit for the first time in 10 years and in the three years under review by the EFL, the club saw combined pre-tax losses of just over £8m.
We can say that there are quite equal teams in terms of class and level of performing skill. This is confirmed by the final standings of last season. Then the “Wave” finished in 12th position, only one line ahead of the “Slonim”. It is worth noting that both teams scored the same number of points.
Burnley have so far managed 18 points and are seventh on the standings while Palace are on 15 points and in 13th place. Going to this game, Burnley can rise to fifth place with a win, while Palace could go up six places to seventh with a win. Burnley registered two straight 3-0 wins ahead of this game and these have been a massive boost to them after losing three straight matches before that.

The Manchester City defensive issues we mentioned earlier mean that we are expecting a goal for the hosts, but the odds on offer for Manchester City to claim a third 3-1 win away from home in the league do look enticing.
MANCHESTER, England, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded his squad is "stretched" and made his strongest appeal yet for new signings to help his team after a miserable 2-0 home defeat to Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday. We are working to improve and get players in, and hopefully we can get something over the line.
Other players, including Tottenham defender Danny Rose and Manchester City's Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, have also previously raised concerns about the plan to restart. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said on Thursday that football will only return "if it is safe to do so and the health and welfare of players, coaches and staff comes first". I think the overall feeling is that players have got concerns," defender Hanley told Sky Sports.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes the Premier League "made the right call" to suspend the season in March because of the coronavirus outbreak. The 38-year-old tested positive for Covid-19 on 12 March and a day later elite football in Britain was halted. Arteta, whose side return to action against Manchester City on Wednesday, believes decisive action helped prevent putting more people at risk. I love this game but we have bigger responsibilities," he said.
We are keen to work with Uefa and remain in discussion with them over the situation in Scotland. Doncaster said the SPFL board had "consulted extensively with clubs in all four divisions" and had "taken expert legal and commercial advice". Scottish Government advice that restrictions could remain for at least 13 weeks mean the outstanding games "cannot be scheduled without significantly damaging" the chances of playing next season in full.
Fifa has established a working group to tackle the issues facing football as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The group will look at the international fixture calendar, and issues around player contracts. Most deals expire on 30 June but, if restarted, many leagues could continue beyond that date in an attempt to finish their current campaigns. The group will also look at whether more funding is required to help clubs, players and governing bodies impacted.
All five of Europe's top domestic leagues -- England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany -- are suspended, along with the Champions League, Europa League and World Cup qualifiers. Leagues have urged UEFA to prioritise completing domestic competitions, reflecting a concern that clubs throughout Europe will lose significant ticket and associated match-day revenue by not completing the season while still having to pay their players' salaries.
Covid statement tableAll credit to @LewisCumming on Twitter for cataloguing the number of statements that were issued since the Coronavirus hit. The league table is 16-strong with Rangers coming out on top. Hearty congratulations to them. Hearts finished second in this parallel universe, the SPFL came in third, and Clyde were fourth. An amazing effort in the top flight and one that required no league reconstruction.

Barcelona dominated possession throughout against Napoli, who were happy to rely on counter-attacks, yet their goal came from their only shot on target. The lively Dries Mertens gave Napoli the lead in an otherwise uneventful first half, curling the ball sweetly into the top corner after a good pass from Piotr Zielinski.
The Olympic Games have been pushed back a year and a postponement of the 2021 Women's European Championship is also on the cards, so what impact does that have on England manager Phil Neville?The 43-year-old has just over a year left on his contract and was due to take charge of a Team GB squad in Tokyo this summer. But with the Olympics now taking place next year and a potential build-up of back-to-back major tournaments in store, will Neville want to stick around? And are the Football Association reconsidering his position? What do the FA want from Neville?The FA have publicly backed Neville during a period of poor form which saw England lose seven of their last 11 games - including the loss of their SheBelieves Cup title.
Derby came agonisingly close to getting promoted last season. A play-off final win away from reaching the top tier, they then had to deal with key players (and their manager) returning to Chelsea. It has taken a few months but it looks as though Phillip Cocu finally has a handle on things. We expect Derby to keep up their good form with a win over Huddersfield. Back Derby to win and both teams to score.
West Ham were beaten in three of their last four Premier League away contests, and while their loss to Wolves at Molineux isn't a cause for concern, their brace of scoreless defeats at poor Everton and Burnley teams certainly are.
Perth Glory and Western United will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Perth Glory this season have the following results: 8W, 7D and 5L. Meanwhile Western United have 8W, 3D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Volna have won their last two games against Mikashevichi and Oshmyany. They will face khimik who have lost their last four games.

In their last game against sputnik they dominated the game and created many chances but were unlucky to lose through penalty. In their previous h2h Khimik svetlogorsk have only lost away to volna by one goal in their last two games.
Arsenal jump at chance to speak with newly-available Ancelotti – Paper Round The Warm-Up: Arsenal fans feel a strange & unusual sensation…joy Paul Parker: Arsenal fans have made it vile to be a football manager Video - 'Training should be more efficient' - Wenger starts as FIFA's new chief of football development01:21 "These days, the size of the club sometimes stop them from keeping the culture of performance," Wenger said in an interview with So Foot.
Aston Villa scored with almost the last kick of the game to seal a 2-1 comeback win over Watford at Villa Park on Tuesday that lifted Dean Smith's men out of the Premier League relegation zone - and dumped Nigel Pearson's men back in it. Watford opened the scoring in the 38th minute when Gerard Deulofeu dashed towards the goal line, spun to his left and chipped the ball over towards Troy Deeney who headed powerfully past Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina from close range.
Cardiff have won all of their home clashes with bottom half sides, while their good scoring record should continue here. We expect them to pile onto a Millwall side who have just lost 2-1 at home to a poor Barnsley side, while we expect Cardiff to repeat that scoreline in a victory this week.
The England U21 international has been their first choice, featuring in 23 of their 25 league games - scoring once. The Royal Blues also have Wales winger Rabbi Matondo. The 19-year-old, a 2019 signing from Manchester City, has only played sporadically, with eight league starts and another four substitute appearances. Former West Ham and England Under-20 defender or midfielder Reece Oxford, 21, has not played for Augsburg since November, having made eight appearances before then.
While things may not be that bad yet, with the side just one point off third-placed Aberdeen, the problem manager Stephen Robinson has is that there is not necessarily a clear problem with his team. At least not a consistent one. Against Celtic, the front three of Jermain Hylton, Chris Long and Rolando Aarons looked bright and offered reason for hope, despite the heavy scoreline. Against St Johnstone, they were totally ineffective and, had it not been for a bizarre stroke of luck, they would have not been on the score-sheet at all.
It needs very, very careful thinking through. League leaders Liverpool were 25 points clear of reigning champions City when the Premier League was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic on 13 March. Hopkins added: "What we're fearful of is that people will turn up either at neutral grounds or at home grounds, and some of that could be particularly problematic. I'm not saying from a policing perspective it would be impossible to police because clearly it wouldn't - we police hundreds of thousands of people in normal circumstances at events right across Greater Manchester.
While they are five points clear of Werder in 17th, Fortuna have played one game more than the team underneath them. Fortuna coach Uwe Rosler may have been underwhelmed to see his side play out the drabbest fixture of the Bundesliga's return last weekend, a goalless draw at home to Paderborn. It served as a reminder that no team in the top flight has scored fewer goals than Fortuna's 27, averaging out at 1.
The midfielder's strike was the fastest by a Serie A substitute since Levan Mchedlidze's goal for Empoli against Sassuolo after just 14 seconds in March 2015. Pasalic's delightful curling shot was of potentially momentous importance, as it opened up a six-point gap between fourth-placed Atalanta and Roma in fifth, while securing a better head-to-head record for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.

With a better form, it is likely that Viktoria Zizkov will win the match at Slavoj Vysehrad.

Varnsdorf when it comes to to home game they are not used of scoring many goals as looking at the last 5 home game they have not recorded an over of 3.5 total goals and so this game being home game we have seen that they will continue with the same trend Making us to be very sure with this prediction
The Premier League's shareholders are expected to discuss next season's VAR system at a meeting in April. Such a system is already used for the FA Cup in England and FIFA president Gianni Infantino suggested talks had seen the Premier League move towards use of 'on-field reviews'. I understand there have been some discussions in England.
Alexander Zverev hasn't dropped set in this tournament. Alexander Zverev has won his two previous meetings against Stan Wawrinka. Stan Wawrinka has dropped five sets so far in this tournament.

The German is the seventh seed but only at the French Open has he made it to the last eight in a Grand Slam until this week.

Will even go as far as to take the under 2 goals bet here in this one at odds near 2.00 or even higher, as Esteli in their last 3 home games they drew 3 times 0-0 so they really struggle to score at home and watched them struggle to score a single goal at home in their last home win against modest Sabanas just 1-0 at home, and that was a really modest opponent while in the Quarters they scored with luck a goal on the road in the first leg at Diriangen and settled for a 0-0 draw at home the return leg.
Just a big, broad smile. He was so unassuming and quiet. Didn't speak much English, but a lovely, really nice guy," added Burchill. Moravcik's two goals inspired a 5-1 victory. From that moment everyone realised Celtic had a player on their hands. With eight minutes left, he would make way for Burchill to make his own mark, scoring the fifth from a Henrik Larsson assist. I had just had my debut a couple of weeks previously," he recalls.
