WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Aston Villa! We don’t have any scientific evidence for this, but it does feel like a thing, right? A team in the thick of relegation trouble somehow manages to barrel through one of the cups, despite the fact that both competitions feature mostly the same opponents. What a strange game football is.
I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training," said 56-year-old Mourinho. Spurs are ninth on 17 points with West Ham 16th on 13. LATE WINNER Liverpool grabbed another late winner through Roberto Firmino at Selhurst Park against a spirited Palace side who were controversially denied an opener from James Tomkins after VAR spotted a push on defender Dejan Lovren.
Mourinho has guided Spurs to four wins in five league games since replacing Mauricio Pochettino as manager last month and another victory this weekend would mean his side leapfrog Chelsea into the top four. Meanwhile, Chelsea have lost four of their past five league matches but Lampard does not see any reason to panic.
But it only took one season to start the journey back up, via the play-off final at Wembley - and skipper Liam Kelly, who was one of Robins' first signings that summer of 2017, believes much of the credit must go to City's long-suffering fans. Unbelievable away support' - captain Liam Kelly"We saw how big the fan base was when we got promoted from League Two," Kelly told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.
There was another lapse in the 2-0 loss at Watford in December when he allowed Ismaila Sarr's shot to slip into the net. The air of complete reliability De Gea once possessed disappeared a long time ago. The bitter irony is that De Gea has been pretty much an absentee in Manchester United's recent FA Cup runs. He last played in this competition in their 1-0 loss to Chelsea in the 2018 final and the capable Argentine Sergio Romero has had the gloves this season.
Which he promptly did in a 4-1 defeat. Cue much joviality, well, basically everywhere. That was Saturday. By Sunday he was under investigation by the FA for tweeting what looked rather like anti-Semitic conspiracy theories: And rather than acknowledge an error on his part, merely doubled down: Best of luck explaining that one.
Premier League players union says wage cut would hurt health service Rooney slams UK health secretary Hancock and the Premier League for making players 'scapegoats' Liverpool place some non-playing staff on temporary leave City’s chief operating officer Omar Berrada gave the news to staff in writing over the weekend after the decision was ratified by the board on Friday.
Fenerbahce have been the dominant side in this fixture and they will be hoping to extend that when they face a side with four wins in five home matches. Fenerbahce have not won any of the last four away league matches, and in the Super Lig they have managed just one win in the last six away matches. Their away form is a bit shaky and it may be a big risk picking on them here. Considering Rizespor rarely fails to score in this clash, and the fact that six of their last nine home matches have yielded over 2.5 goals, we believe they will score here. Fenerbahce have been scoring consistently too; they have scored two or more in seven of their last 10 matches. Based on this, we are backing this game to produce over 2.5 goals.

The restart of the Serie B championship was traumatic for Ascoli, who lost at home 1-3 against Cremonese and who is now heavily mixed up in the fight not to relegate, vice versa Perugia is trying to return to the playoff area after the arrival of the new coach Serse Cosmi. I foresee a very hard-fought game and I believe that Perugia will eventually be able to bring home one point. I will bet on a draw and now I guess the correct result will be 1- 1. In the last 5 direct meetings we have seen two draws, once it was 1-1. Without fans, another draw will not surprise me.
Wolfsburg players kicked boots with the officials afterwardsWolfsburg players kicked boots with the referee and his assistants, rather than the usual handshakes, following their 2-1 victory at Augsburg. Elsewhere, fist bumps and elbow bumps were the name of the game. Players and managers were interviewed by television reporters with microphones on sticks, keeping to a safe distance, while post-match news conferences were done by video conferencing.
There are still some issues to sort out but there is hunger and togetherness in this Gunners team and they are definitely on the rise. Their fans know it too. It has been so volatile at Emirates Stadium in the past few seasons but there seems to be some patience right now, even when mistakes are made. Overall it is obvious they are better organised, especially out of possession, under Arteta but it is still slow, slow progress and they are going to have the odd slip-up.

Trailing 3-2, Betis were reduced to 10 men after Nabil Fekir received two yellow cards in quick succession but Lenglet's dismissal made for a tense finale. Earlier, leaders Real Madrid had beaten Osasuna 4-1 to go six points clear. Real Betis v Barcelona as it happenedLa Liga tableIt had been a difficult week for Barcelona after they were dumped out of the Copa del Rey at the quarter-final stage by Athletic Bilbao and the club's sporting director Eric Abidal publically criticised the players for not working hard enough.
We have to deal with this on a club-by-club basis. It is the hardest way but I believe it is the best way. Health secretary Matt Hancock last week called for players to take a pay cut and "play their part". Former England captain and current Derby striker Wayne Rooney said players have been left in a "no-win situation", and Taylor agreed they were "very put out that they were being put in a corner".
Real Esteli theoretically still has the chance to win the championship. On the rankings at the moment, they are ranked 2nd and 5 points below the top team. However, the ability to overthrow Managua is almost impossible when there are only 2 rounds ahead.
After a defeat in last round against Bristol City, 2-3, it seems that Derby will stay out of playoff in current season, they are in the middle of standings, and today they will play against Huddersfield Town, club which is just two places above relegation line. Derby will be without pressure in this duel, as they are in safe zone, off course they want to continue with good results in front of their fans, with Martin in attack, Waghorn, Lawrence, and Wayne Rooney in the starting line up, I expect a clear victory for Derby with more than 1.5 goals AH

Zbrojovka Brno will host Dukla Praha for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this game. Brno is very ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 37 points. Also, the hosts have a great winning series - 5 wins in a row. On the other hand Dukla Praha is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 34 points. Yeah, the visitors have big fluctuations. However, Dukla Praha have better results in the last mutual matches. After all, I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance in this game. My pick - Dukla Praha to win.
79 goals conceded by the hosts so far this season as they lost every single game they played so far, Glacis is not much better 2nd from bottom but they are one class at least above their opponents even though they have just 7 points in this relegation group, when they hosted College during the normal season they won 4-0 at home and believe me when I tell you the hosts are not much better defending when they are at home, lost recently 6-1 to Lions Gibraltar or 6-2 to Europa Point as well.
Paderborn have scored over 1.5 goals versus Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund this season. All three of those teams are possession-based, attacking sides. Paderborn have been dangerous on the counter-attack this season and they are likely to get counter-attacking opportunities versus Leipzig.

Bournemouth goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is having a medical with AC Milan ahead of a loan move to the Serie A giants for the remainder of the season. Milan need a keeper after letting Pepe Reina join Aston Villa on loan for the rest of the season.
AZ Jong have won four times at home in the league this season and Oss have lost eight times on the road, so you can start to see why we have backed a win for the hosts this Monday. AZ Jong average 1.56 points per home game while Oss only average 0.40 points per away game having picked up just one win on the road so far this season. The hosts score an average of 1.89 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.67 goals while Oss score an average of 0.60 goals per away game and concede an average of 2.60 goals, which is why we have predicted a 2-1 home win.
Alaves were holding their own in mid-table earlier in the campaign thanks to some decent results at home, but they have now picked up just one win from their last five outings at Mendizorroza after notching ten points from their first five games.
I believe that BATE Borisov will not have any problems to win in this match from Belarus Premier league and that is pretty clear for all who are following this league. So, this team is had a lot of problems from the start of season and they are started with two defeats. Still, this time they will be play against one of the weakest teams in league and this will be great chance to win very important three points. I was watched Gorodeya and they are really poor team in all lines. BATE will win this duel with at least 2-0.
The last time the two clubs faced each other at the Allianz Stadium, Juventus announced revenues of 3. The figure would have been similar on Sunday, and Juventus are permitted to keep the money, regardless of the whether it is deemed fair for fans. The situation is so unprecedented that Sky Italia had declared themselves ready to broadcast the game on their free-to-air channel TV8, essentially giving away a match that is the biggest asset of the season for them.
The message to the players is rise to the challenge," Silva said. It's a derby - it's not important what's gone before. Everton last won at Liverpool in the league in 1999 when Kevin Campbell scored the goal in a 1-0 victory. They have since drawn nine and lost 10 games at the ground. Let's go there to play.

He was involved every time they came forward. The downside of using a diamond is your midfield is very narrow. The two men in the centre - in this case Youri Tielemans and Dennis Praet - are also asked to help out wide, which is difficult, and often leaves you light in those areas. But on Sunday, Leicester were happy for that to happen, and for Villa to overload them with their full-backs down the flanks, because having them so high up the pitch left their lightning quick strikers, Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho, in a two-on-two scenario with the Villa centre-backs.
Could Lazio’s exceptional season get even better with a run in the Coppa Italia? The 2019 winners of this competition are hoping to follow that up with more silverware in 2020, as they return to cup action on Tuesday evening. The Biancocelesti are heavy favourites against Serie B’s relegation-threatened Cremonese.
Paper Round's view: Pogba has offered nothing for the season and did little to arrest United's decline after a positive start under Solskjaer in his first season as manager. Letting him go for £150 million would pay for the Bruno Fernandes deal, and give the best part of £100 million to continue a rebuild.
Arsenal defender David Luiz accepted responsibility for their 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, but said he still hopes to play for the club again. Luiz, who is out of contract at the end of the month, was sent off to cap an error-strewn return to action. It's my fault," the 33-year-old said. The team did well, especially with 10 men. The coach is amazing, all the players are amazing, it was my fault.
Everton's caretaker-manager Duncan Ferguson wants Goodison Park to be a "bear pit" for Wednesday's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester City. Ferguson's passion has been a key feature since he took over after Marco Silva's dismissal earlier in December. The Scot hopes to recreate the atmosphere that helped Everton beat Chelsea 3-1 in his first match as boss. That atmosphere at the ground was incredible.

He didn't envisage then that Solskjaer would get the job permanently. It was over the time that followed it became apparent the Norwegian shared the same wider vision as he did. That vision involves a commitment to attacking football. In his latter years, Ferguson did use the counter-attack with increasing regularity, so Solskjaer is not reinventing history with his post-match comments. It also involves the use of home-grown players.
He played so, so well. What happened (after the Norwich match) was clear, almost nothing happened. So I think he's ready. Before I arrived he wasn't playing much, he has to play tomorrow. We go with him again. Spurs, seventh in the table, have lost their last four matches in all competitions, including their penalty shootout defeat to Norwich, and are in danger of missing out on a top-four spot and Champions League qualification.
