I think it's a possible option to leave the 20 teams in the league as it is but bring the top two in the Championship up. It gives us a larger league, with four relegation places next season and then two teams coming up again. It has some merit but there are a lot of issues to be worked through. If we can't complete the season we have to look at radical solutions to get over a short-term hump, as it is.

I see a good value at this one.

Immediately after he left, they had to cope without their best remaining centre-half. They have not had a dominant player in that department all season, so I am sure it will be a priority for Guardiola to put it right when the next transfer window opens. Before then, he is going for more silverware. The title is gone but City are still trying to retain the FA Cup - as they did the Carabao Cup - and going for the Champions League too.

This award was done and dusted at half time. The Belgian was supreme and was clearly the game's protagonist with two goals and an assist.

A very open game here. It will be interesting to see who win this. But for I don't see anything other than a home win. The home side is in very good form at the moment both overall and while playing at home. Away is in very poor form overall and also while playing away from home. Of course I don't expect so many goals. We all know how the Italian leagues very tactical and disciplined. I will just go for just simple win for the home side considering the good form they are enjoying unlike their opponents who are struggling to put together good results

Concepcion should attack big name of the football in Chile, and winner of the Copa Libertadores, which is in big drop now, and which is in the bad run of four games lost in the recent five. This is not good position for the team to be big favorite, even if they are one of the top rivals in the country.
CD Calahorra have not won in their last 6 matches. Though they have not suffered defeat in 5 of them. They are coming from 3 consecutive draws. They are coming off a draw against Real Valladolid B by 1-1 goals. They have drawn 9 of their last 14 matches and I expect them to continue their run of draws.
Now we know all about what they have become, we know all about the 'noisy neighbour' and they have really done well. This game has grown in magnitude for me. The bragging rights lasts more than Monday morning. We have to speed that up because we have been behind them for too many years. Guardiola added: "From what I saw they follow [Solskjaer] absolutely. They're getting better. Right now is maybe their best moment of the season.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo says VAR is making players reluctant to celebrate and "in danger of becoming robots" following Willy Boly's disallowed goal in Friday's 0-0 draw with Leicester.

Something has to be done.

Three of the duos’ last six meetings have seen both teams score, while three of Emmen’s and five of Heracles’ last six matches have also produced goals at both ends of the pitch.
It's around this time of year that clubs start preparing to reveal their kit designs for next season. But we might have to wait a little this time around, so we've been reminiscing and appreciating some of the most iconic kits from years gone by. We asked BBC Sport journalists for their suggestions and, although there were plenty of classic kits that didn't make the cut, we've narrowed it down to the 20 below.
Typically, this is the last opposing outfield player, because of the goalkeeper's positioning. Saints boss Hasenhuttl is against the Frenchman's suggestion and believes that doing away with the offside law altogether would be more preferable to more potential VAR controversy. If we change it the way he wants to do it we can stop playing offside because it won't work any more," said the Austrian. It will change the game massively in my opinion.
Leeds have achieved their success this term through their strong defence, conceding fewer than any side in the league. The visitors have let in only six goals across 10 away trips so far, conceding from only 6% of their shots against away from home.

Jesse Lingard has failed to score in the Premier League this season, while Anthony Martial has not netted in seven out of nine games in 2020On his own, it is hard to see Ighalo changing the narrative of a season.

I told him to 'be yourself, don't change your character, try to get on the ball, make things happen'," said Solskjaer.

For Mura last season was their first in the first league level in Slovenia after many seasons spent by them in the 2nd league level and not only did they avoid relegation but they even qualified for the Europa League but they did not really make it that far there to tell you the truth.

ELEVENTH TIME LUCKY Athletic Bilbao's season has been based around their Copa del Rey charge.

These teams have both played in some low scoring matches recently and either team have scored more than one goal in their past 2 matches and have not had more than one goal scored against them either. Will good defending this match could be one of those games which will have no goals, it has been heading that way recently with these teams not looking as attacking they were. The amount of dangerous shots have been lower, the amount of shots in the box too. This could be very much a defending effort from both teams this weekend for this game
