After the week I had to take my chance. I had Manchester City, United and then I spoke to Mourinho - which I didn’t think would ever happen. To be honest, after I left the room with Mourinho I said 'that’s it, I don’t need to talk to anyone else, I’m going to Chelsea. What he told me, the team he wanted to make, what he thought of me, how he wanted me to play, this is what I wanted.
The problem is that there are plenty of examples where managers and clubs appear to have taken the initiative and done the right thing, Leeds United as an example. So ideally you want other high-profile figures to take note and follow suit, but it’s trickier because there’s no obvious body who should take the lead on this.
Juventus have reached an agreement to sign Barcelona midfielder Arthur at the end of the season. The Brazil international will join Juve for 72m euros (£66m) - with 10m (£9m) in add-ons. The 23-year-old, who joined Barcelona from Gremio on a six-year contract in 2018, has made 72 appearances for the Spanish champions. Juve's 30-year-old Bosnia midfielder Miralem Pjanic will move in the opposite direction on a five-year deal.
Atalanta were furious when Rafael Toloi appeared to be pulled down by Martinez inside the box as he tried to tap the ball home from close range, but the referee ignored the appeals and there was no Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervention. Replays suggested Martinez had intentionally grabbed the defender’s leg to trip him, and Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini was not happy with the decision after the game.
Clubs have also failed to advance beyond the group stages of the Champions' League – and have reached even that phase only twice. Orban, a decent club player and lifelong football fan, has considered it a personal mission to turn that around. He elevated sports to front and centre in his government’s priorities and has made lavish funds available for football to create a world-class infrastructure.
Defensively, as they've shipped 36 goals in 21 matches, Rochdale have been poor, but their main issue of late has been a lack of goals. Thursday's hosts have scored just four goals in their last seven matches, while they've only scored eight at home all season. Their defence needs to toughen up, but if they're to pull away from danger, then they'll need to start scoring more goals.
While Carlisle have struggled against the top sides in the fourth tier, Cardiff have one of the best home records in the EFL. Only two Championship sides have more points at home than the Bluebirds this term, while they’ve hit 19 goals in 12 games here. They have preyed on smaller sides at home this term, with a 100% winning record against sides in the bottom half of the Championship.
Liverpool will be champions this season. Such is the Reds' lead at the top that surely nothing will prevent that, barring an unprecedented and unforeseeable series of losses. They have already broken a number of records this campaign, including the best start to a season, most points over a 38-game period (104), biggest points lead at the top of the table (25) and most consecutive home wins (22). And they have others in their sights.
Our squad has not been refreshed properly, so it came to a natural end really. I was devastated when Mauricio Pochettino was sacked - and even more devastated with the appointment of Mourinho. He has managed Chelsea and United, two of our rivals, and I never really liked the guy or his style of football, and then all of a sudden he becomes the Tottenham manager. So, you have to kind of try to get your head around that and try to look at the positives - of which there really have not been many in the past few weeks.
Alongside our home win prediction, we're tipping Burnley to record a narrow 1-0 win in our correct score forecast. As we detailed earlier, the Clarets' goal-scoring touch has been largely absent in recent weeks, though each of their last two Premier League wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle respectively were secured by 1-0 margins.
The visitors only managed a point at Fleetwood Town on Sunday and have struggled a bit during the festive period, but it’s hard to ignore their overall form. They have lost just one of their last eight League One matches, winning four of them and pushing themselves up to 7th in the table.
Werder Bremen have seen over 2.5 goals in 14 of their 16 Bundesliga games this season. Furthermore, they have conceded at least two goals in 13 of their 16 Bundesliga games. We feel that a 2-1 win for Cologne is a likely result of this game.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Mainz will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Eintracht Frankfurt this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 14L. Meanwhile Mainz have 8W, 4D and 17L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Baggies pull clear as chasers falter Seventh-placed Bristol City also have 53 pointsA pivotal few days for West Bromwich Albion in the Championship promotion race?Before the midweek round of fixtures, the top end of the Championship looked as congested as the M25 on the Friday before half-term. Albion's successive away victories against Millwall and Reading in the past four days have given the Baggies a six-point lead over second-placed Leeds.
It is six months since Kieran Trippier swapped north London for Madrid, but the defender has not looked back. The England international made the switch from Tottenham to Atletico Madrid in the summer and feels he is improving as a player under Diego Simeone - the manager he believes is the best in the world. In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily, the 29-year-old full-back spoke about life in a new country, his relationship with the boss he calls 'Mr' and the prospect of facing Liverpool in the Champions League.
Everyone had a common goal to be as successful as we could, to prove all the doubters wrong. We wanted to rewrite the history books and create something special and there was an opportunity. I've been back numerous times since and people always talk about that season and the two seasons under Roy. Obviously the first thing people mention is the run in Europe but those two seasons were sublime and up there with two of the best I had in my career.
For the Danish giants meanwhile, the visit means begrudging recognition that the away team are no longer to be taken as lightly as they once were and, with Europa League progression to play for, it is a Nordic derby neither side can afford to lose. Malmo and Copenhagen are only half an hour apart by train but, as fans of the Scandinavian-noir crime TV series 'The Bridge' will be aware, there is a culture clash between the two cities.

On 1 May 1990, Liverpool's players paraded the top-flight league-winners' trophy around a packed and joyous Anfield. They would not win the title again for another 30 years but the relative drought was not due to a lack of trying. Transfers were made, goals scored and games won, but it was never quite enough until this remarkable record-breaking season. Now that their wait is over, BBC Sport looks back at the players, managers, money and more that Liverpool have put in to the pursuit of number 19.
If anything the mental side is the priority at the moment," he said. It is a global crisis. The economy of this country is in lockdown. We know people are struggling on the front line. Some of the players are away from their families and they are missing them. Even if they went home, they couldn't really go and visit them because everyone is on lockdown but we need to be aware of that. We have a psychologist working at the club to give extra support.

However, can Huddersfield find a way past a Blackburn side who are on an impressive unbeaten run? Recent history suggests not, as Rovers have drawn four of their last five trips to Huddersfield, while the pair played out a 2-2 draw when they met at Ewood Park earlier this season.
Colchester United will be pretty pleased with the way their season has been going of late as they come into this weekend’s clash with Salford on the back of two wins and two draws in their last four league matches. Despite being known mainlyfor their defensive strength, they have been in a pretty rich vein of scoring form and have found the back of the net seven times in their last three league matches.

A man has been arrested after Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola's emails were allegedly hacked. Manchester police say investigations are ongoing but a 30-year-old has been released after being questioned. The Sun newspaper claims to have spoken to an IT contractor who says the emails contained players' contact details and information on transfer talks. It's claimed Guardiola was targeted in 2017 with the man attempting to sell details for £100,000.
Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski and his wife Anna have contributed one million euros (£923,900) to fight coronavirus. Team-mates Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich have also set up a fund called We Kick Corona to combat the pandemic and contributed one million euros between them. Manchester City winger Leroy Sane also made a considerable financial donation. We are all aware of the difficult situation," the Lewandowskis told Bild.
The working group will also examine the issue of clubs' responsibilities to pay their staff when leagues are suspended. The document states that clubs, players and coaches should be encouraged to work together to agree on salary reductions and deferrals. Yet they should consider the alternative, where possible, that agreements between clubs and employees are suspended when teams are not playing or training.

Pep Guardiola has questioned why more Manchester City fans did not turn up for his side's 4-0 win over Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round. The attendance of 39,223 at Etihad Stadium was the third highest in the round, behind West Ham and Newcastle. Today was not full - I don't know why," the City manager said. He added he hoped there would be "more people" and "more support" at Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester United.
Goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah sent Liverpool 16 - ! - points clear at the top of the table, despite a spirited effort from United. For the first time in 30 years, the league title is coming to Anfield; all that remains to be seen is how many records they break and whether they can add any other trophies to it.
With the hosts coming into this match as the clear favourites and given their impressive record on their own patch, it is hard to imagine a situation where they do not claim the three points on Saturday afternoon. Our confidence in that tip is only bolstered further when we look at Gillingham’s frankly awful away record, so a home win looks like a solid leg of any weekend accumulator.
There was a touch of fortune about their first goal, Pavard's attempt was going wide when ex-Huddersfield defender Jorgensen diverted it over the line while attempting to clear. Pavard doubled the lead with a header from a corner, while Lewandowski started the move which ended with him making it 3-0. Fortuna Dusseldorf were unbeaten in their previous six games yet Uwe Rosler's side were blown away, Lewandowski tapping home the fourth before the goal of the game.
Portsmouth have long been a very strong team at Fratton Park, but they continue to be a much lesser side away from home. Kenny Jackett's men possess League 1's third-best home record this term, but they rank as just the 17th best team on the road. They've claimed just nine travelling points this term.
At that stage Arsenal looked utterly desperate, devoid of hope, skill, determination, confidence…actually, just pick a positive adjective, any one you like: Arsenal didn’t have it. They were heading for a tenth straight winless game, just four points above the relegation zone with a truly ugly fixture list to come.
Fortunately, in terms of points, their travelling efforts have been slightly better than Nimes' home exploits, so the visitors ought to fancy themselves on Friday. Last time out on the road, Garcia's men got the better of Strasbourg, giving little away in the process. A repeat performance might be enough to see off Friday's low-scoring hosts. That said, the visitors have made a habit of conceding goals on their travels, surrendering at least one in each of their last seven away games. They've also not been prolific winners on the road, winning three out of seven.
Millwall the host will be seeking to inflict misery on Fulham in their quest to enter the top ten list that will aid their efforts for a playoff position for the end of the season .Fulham on the other hand will also be seeking to inflict misery on Millwall as they seek a win that will guarantee them second position on the log a position that will guarantee automatic promotion into premier league if maintained at all costs. This will definitely be a must win match for both teams thus this will inevitably become a high scoring game of more than one goal .
The 18-year-old Martinelli, starting in place of suspended frontman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, struck from close range late in the first half after a whipped-in cross from Bukayo Saka. Arsenal had a good shout for a penalty when Nicolas Pepe went down in the second half but VAR ruled in favour of the visitors, who then made the most of the let-off.

It gradually got better," McCarthy said of the performances. I look back at the Gibraltar game, the first game in, an Astroturf pitch, blowing a gale and an airplane taking off at eight o'clock, when we just scraped through. But we did scrape through and I said at the time that the only thing that mattered was the result. We only lost one out of 10, and that was in Switzerland, and they're the best team in the group.

Meanwhile, if Palmerias' season has been a failure, Flamengo's has been the complete opposite, with Jorge Jesus' men landing a historic league and Libertadores double. Mengao scored two last gasp goals against River Plate to crown themselves kings of South America last weekend and were also made champions of Serie A, leading to scenes that will live long in the memory of supporters.
SAVE! Lovely from Minamino, who look a player, and outside him, Haaland has made a good run, adjusting his feet beautifully to take the pass into stride. But Alisson has his angles right and smothers the low shot. WHAT A CHANCE! Keita collects possession on the edge of the Salzburg box, turns, and slides in Salah! He's got plenty of time too, adjusting to shoot with his left foot, but instead of going across goal he looks to sweep inside the near post and, with far less margin for error, hits his shot wide.
