The playmaker, on loan from Real Madrid, missed over two months with a hamstring injury and has been on the bench of late but not yet played under Arteta, who took over in December after leaving his job as Manchester City's assistant head coach. Mikel will be a brilliant coach. He has learned from Pep (Guardiola, Manchester City coach), he has a philosophy of play which I think I fit perfectly.

Too little, too late for 10-man CherriesEddie Howe's side have won just one of their last seven games in the Premier League, scoring only five times in the process. The hosts' struggles in front of goal were not helped by the absence of striker Joshua King - the Cherries' match-winner against Manchester United in their last home game - due to a hamstring injury sustained on international duty with Norway.
Felix Auger-Aliassime is yet to win an ATP title but he is certainly knocking on the door. Last week saw him lose to Gael Monfils in the Rotterdam final and he has a good chance here to reach another one. He is building up a good consistent run and climbing up the rankings. His opponent has made a slow start to the year but did have a good win over Medvedev this week. Felix Auger-Aliassime is ithe in form player and can get the win here.

Aizawl will host Chennai City for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. Both teams have highly variable results at the start of the new campaign. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. I believe, Aizawl is really better team at home. In any case, the hosts will try to make a positive result. In previous game Aizawl is won 1-2 against Indian Arrows (away) Also, we have Chennai City who's is not very good team away from home. Of course, this will not be an easy task. Also, in previous game Chennai City lost 3-1 against Minerva. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
He acknowledged that sports were "reliant on the revenue they derive" from broadcasting deals. But he said that there were ways sport could have "elements of protecting revenue from broadcasting but also looking at ways of increasing access". The Premier League was "considering" the issue, he said. Liverpool v Atletico Madrid and Cheltenham FestivalDowden defended the timing of the UK government's ban on mass gatherings, days after the Cheltenham Festival and Liverpool's Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.
Megan has blossomed late in her career. She was good when she was younger but it has taken her time to blossom on and off the pitch. Ferguson: "Rapinoe just delivers. She can go through some games where you do not think she is that involved and then she will pop up with a goal. Her calmness under pressure is so good - I just don't think pressure affects her. I'm in touch with my old Aston Villa team-mate Jack Grealish on WhatsApp pretty much every day so I will be giving him some stick before Sunday's Carabao Cup final - and joking that I don't want him to turn up this time because he is playing Manchester City.
His defending in the Manchester derby was nothing short of outstanding. Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold might be better on the ball but there isn't a better defender in the country on his day than Wan-Bissaka. Did you know? Wan-Bissaka made five tackles against Manchester City, the most of any player in the game. Mason Holgate: I never saw Mason Holgate as an imposing central defender but I thought he was amazing in the rejuvenated, never-say-die Everton team against Chelsea.
Last season when they met here it was Catolica who won the game by scoring 3 goals all by themselves as they also conceded 2 goals in that encounter winning with 3-2 in the end so no less than 5 goals being scored back than, this while in this start of the season Catolica has 3 wins from 3 games played but more interesting is that they scored 3 goals in each of those wins, winning for example 3-2 away at a decent side like Antofagasta.

Merw is really not a top team in fact Altyn Asyr played here two rounds ago and won the game with no less than 4-0 in the end but Altyn Asyr is of course the side which won most titles in this country lately and with good results in the AFC Cup competition as well while Ahal despite having a record of 6-0-2 they lost last round at home to Altyn Asyr with 2-1 being dominated and their only goal came from the penalty spot, this while they also got beaten away at same Altyn Asyr also with just 2-1 in the end.
Eric Cantona had his seagulls, Mauricio Pochettino had his cows and now Ivan Rakitic has his 'sack of potatoes'. Football is full of weird and wonderful quotes and Rakitic's metaphor sits up there with the best of them as he found a unique way to criticise Barcelona's treatment of him. The Croatia midfielder has been with the Catalan club since 2014, but lost his regular starting place this season with the arrival of Dutch wonderkid Frenkie de Jong.

Cue a last-gasp scramble for a striker. Manchester United were linked with a host of strikers in the January transfer window including, from left to right, Erling Braut Haaland, Edinson Cavani and Josh KingBy the final week of the January window, and with United otherwise engaged in their pursuit of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Bruno Fernandes, it appeared their options may run dry as Paris St-Germain's Edinson Cavani was rumoured to be heading elsewhere.
I see it likely that both teams should be scoring here in this one although the hosts failed to do so last time at home losing 3-0 with Barrow they did just fine a few months ago when visiting Borehamwood and getting all 3 points from that game by scoring 2 goals and winning with 2-1 in the end, this while at this moment their defense is for sure not that solid.
Relatively straightforward, but inevitably controversial. For the resolution to pass, nine Premiership clubs, eight Championship, and 15 in Leagues One and Two combined need to vote in favour, with Friday 17:00 BST the deadline. Or so it seemed. But more on that later. First, the initial anger. Rangers issued a statement - the first of several - insisting they would oppose "in the strongest possible terms" any attempt to end the season.
It's not been a pleasing few weeks for the Shrews, who're now without a league win in three matches. They've lost two of their last three, though they've not exactly had an easy run of it, facing a very strong Rotherham side and a Doncaster side that is seemingly on the up. Moreover, prior to a couple of bad weeks, Shrewsbury showed that they're capable of tussling with good sides when beating both Blackpool and Coventry.

Bayern Munich is the only team that managed to win here at Bochum this season and they won hard with just 3-2 in the cup competition, this while Bochum is very good at scoring goals but they had a bunch of either 2-2 or 3-3 draws in home games earlier this season but won 2 of their last 3 home games in the league lately defeating Aue 2-0 a premier for them to keep a clean sheet at home as well as a 3-1 win with Nurnberg also at home lately.
Early reports are that there is no money to spend in January; that Mourinho knows this; and that he’s fine with it. There is also the suggestion that Mourinho may attempt to persuade one or all of Spurs’ high-profile contract rebels — Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, and Christian Eriksen — to give the club another few years, rather than leave for free at the end of the season.
What is the Conifa World Football Cup?Set up in 2013, Conifa - the Confederation of Independent Football Associations - was founded to facilitate international football for non-Fifa affiliated regions.

Both teams did bad lately and because the guests are last in the league I think a surprise will be possible and for me the guests will be able to win and so I go with this X2 FT. The teams are Cova and Porto B and this is a match for the Liga 2 in Portugal. The hosts so far after 11 matches played have 10 points and are in bottom zone. Have only 4 points more than guests and did 2 defeats in the last 2 matches. At home did only 1 win in last 5 matches and so all can happen here.
That advantage did not last long after Rafferty's red card on the stroke of half-time, but the hosts scored again after the break and were almost out of sight. Veteran forward Nugent, who rejoined the club in the summer, scored his first goal for Preston since 2007 as the hosts took control. However, Mitrovic inspired a late Fulham rally courtesy of his strike that bounced and deflected past North End goalkeeper Declan Rudd.
Tomorrow will be playing match between teams Real Madrid and real sociedad. My prediction for this match is over 3.5 goals. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons why I chose to play this tip. Real Madrid is favorite and they will have home ground advantage so I think they can score here all 4 goals here but also away team is not bad at all and I think they will be also able to score here. Real Madrid have 3 of last 4 games with over 4.5 goals so I think there will be over 3.5 goals. 3:1 4:1 3:2 4:2. Good luck.
Paper Round's view: It's a nightmare situation - but it's one that Arsenal always seem to get themselves into. The club left it too late in the past with contract talks for the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Robin van Persie and even Mesut Ozil, who was desperately handed an extortionate amount of money to stay at the Emirates in order to save face after the club were forced to sell Sanchez.
Well this is going to be very interesting match to follow because on one se, posh is great scoring team at home and they average more than 2 scored goals on home pitch but still on the other side,Doncaster is very good in defense on the road so I think we are not going to see a lot of goals in this match tomorrow and I expect to be 1 0 for some team at the end or maybe 1 1,even 0 0 is not impossible to happen but I think there are no reasons to risk that much when this Odd is so good
Can you imagine if this virus was going around at that time, and the same was to happen? Without testing people now and doing a proper check, we could end up with something terrible happening.

Fabrice Muamba retired from playing five months after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitchTackling in training restriction unrealisticUnder the English Football League's 'return to training' guidance, all equipment will be disinfected, communal areas such as changing rooms and gyms will be closed, and no tackling will be allowed.
He spent four years with City - making exactly zero appearances. Lee Grant, now 37, has played twice for Manchester United since his £1. Stoke 18 months ago. We will end with Ross Turnbull, whose clubs read Middlesbrough, Darlington, Barnsley, Bradford, Barnsley again, Crewe, Cardiff, Chelsea, Doncaster, Barnsley AGAIN and Leeds. Turnbull won a Champions League medal. Spoiler alert - it wasn't for Crewe.
In the standings, Osasuna are 11th with 28 points and Real have 49 points, being top of the standings. Osasuna will be keen to beat Real Madrid after their fall in the cup but the home side doesn’t hold a very inspiring run. They have lost their last two matches, conceding six goals in the process and perhaps the positive they will carry here is that they have scored in each of their last four matches.
Strasbourg have drawn two of their last four matches with PSG. PSG have scored in all of their away matches in Ligue 1 this season. Strasbourg have failed to score more than one goal in five of their last six matches. Sandwiched in between two huge cup games, Paris Saint-Germain travel to Strasbourg for Ligue 1 action this weekend.

Newcastle United are in good form with only two losses in their last 11 league games. Only one goal has been conceded in the last five and they are scoring a few too, for a change. West Ham had a great win over Chelsea on Wednesday but that was at home. Their away form is one reason why they are still battling against relegation with ten losses in 16 played. Go for Newcastle to maintain their late surge with a home win,
It's these games that I want to be playing in, so I loved every minute of it and grew in confidence as the game went on. Now we need to go back to training and recover. That's probably the biggest game I've played in, standing out in that national anthem with all the fireworks going off. It's a moment where I was like: 'Wow, this is what international football is really like.
Zemun sit 12th in the standings and collected a total number of 33 points from 28 games. The team is coming from a loss to Radnicki Pirot. Back sit 5th in the standings with 47 points. Novi Pazar was beaten by them 4-0 goals in the last game. Zemun at home is solid team. They got good defense and they got nothing to lose this season. But Zemun is a slightly weaker team after the break, but at home I think they can offer strong resistance and I think they will manage to get at least one point from this match. The guests are a team that does not have the best results on the side, so I think this bet has a very good chance.
Lampard said in November that Barkley showed "a lack of professionalism" after a video emerged of him shirtless in a nightclub during the international break. British media reported this week that the 26-year-old, who returned to action this month following a foot injury sustained in October, could resurrect his club career at West Ham under his former Everton boss David Moyes.

FK Usti Nad Labem is playing with a form that is not so great at the moment. The home team has 26 points and the 7th place in the rankings. In total, they won 2 wins, 1 draw with the last 2 losses. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Atlas have been so much inconsistent in this season. But lately they have been showing progress. They have won 2 of their last 5 matches and will be eyeing to avoiding a defeat here in this match. Morelia is underperforming lately, and it seems like the can’t secure victory to save their campaign. They need to come back on the track as soon as possible, however, they have a very good squad. They should play well against Atlas and will be confident to secure a victory. But I don't think that they can win here. I would go for a draw.
