Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill has tested positive for Covid-19 after the latest round of testing on Monday. A planned practice match between Stoke and Manchester United was cancelled at short notice on Tuesday once the situation became apparent. Stoke had arrived at United's Carrington training base and were in the academy building when they found out. O'Neill, 50, had tested negative in the previous five rounds of testing.
I’m feeling very well, and yes, it’s been like a dream, but there have also been matches in the past that haven’t been that good, so it hasn’t been perfect. But I’ve had some very good years. Today I’m very happy, and I still have very good people around me, if not better, so I’d say this is just the beginning and there is much more to come.
This is a fixture of both teams trying to create a gap on the table from their immediate below team. Rotherham top of the table wanting to gap from Peterborough and Wimbledon at the bottom four avoiding relegation spot by increasing the gap to nine points from Tranmere. By the away team are way disadvantaged in this fixture after a horrible start of the year display I can say getting points away from a team passionate about promotion on their home ground will be like finding a needle in a haystack. I see the home team commanding this game and continue hoping to continue staying at the top.
Algeria international Nabil Bentaleb is having a medical at Newcastle United with a view to joining on loan from Schalke, BBC Newcastle understands. The move for the ex-Tottenham midfielder would be for the rest of the season. Bentaleb, 25, is not part of Schalke manager David Wagner's plans and both the club and player have agreed he should seek a move elsewhere. He left Spurs to join the German side on a four-year deal in February 2017.
Wolfsburg were shocked at home in the Europa League but go to this game as firm favorites. Their away run is quite encouraging and facing an Augsburg side struggling at home will give them an advantage. However, they will be concerned about their defence as they have very few clean sheets away from home while Augsburg have scored pretty regularly at home. Here we are backing Wolfsburg for a 3-2 win.

Gillingham's recent form has been impressive. They've won three of their last five, are unbeaten during that time and have lost just two of their last nine. During their recent upward move, the Gills have shown themselves to be capable of really hurting the weak sides, as their 3-1 home win against MK Dons suggests, but they're also capable of tussling with the big boys, as away-day draws against Fleetwood and Ipswich show.

Wanted: A striker Manchester United will be considering their options after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitted the club may look at short-term deals in light of Marcus Rashford’s injury. With Rashford out for up to three months with a stress fracture in his back, Solskjaer is light on options up front. The Evening Standard reports that Jadon Sancho remains a leading target, while The Sun has reported Lautaro Martinez is flattered to have been linked with United (and Manchester City) but is “calm, happy and at ease with Inter”.
I want to thank everyone, including our fans, who we're really missing at the stadium, but are always close and supportive. Our future is today: we must be focused and determined, be united and play as one. We're at the beginning of an extraordinary path. If we keep working this way, we'll grow and be more and more competitive. Milan’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis added: “Stefano has shown he can deliver the vision of football we have for our club – exciting, progressive and passionate.

In each of their last four home matches in Ligue 1, PSG have scored at least four goals but while they are sharp in attack, they haven’t been equally good in defence. They have two clean sheets in their last five home league matches and have conceded eight goals in the process. PSG are unbeaten in five matches against Nice and have scored two or more goals in four of the five.
Against Arsenal, he had a total of 47 touches - most of which were on the left, close to the halfway line. Just three came inside the Gunners' penalty area. A strange stat'Those numbers surprised Bruce when they were put to him after the game. In the opposition box? Really?" he asked. That seems a strange stat. We have to find a way of scoring more and certainly Joe of being more selfish. He has played a lot of his career to a side and not played as an out-and-out number nine.
We all know how hard is to predict games where we don't know anything about form, how teams prepare as they come direct in to the league. Home side come from K2 league last season. They are team who can make surprise specially at home. Still, games are without support so there will be no home advantage for Gwangju. Still, players must be huge motivated to win in the first appearance in K1 league.

Journalists had permission to only go to section two, the stands. We were expected to arrive at the stadium more than 90 minutes before kick-off to get through a security check while already wearing a mask. Approaching Frankfurt's Commerzbank Arena, it was noticeable how uncommonly quiet it was. Usually 90 minutes before a match, the car park would already be filling up, with people swarming towards the entries.
It's fantastic to see people trying to make that effort. It's something everyone wants to be a part of. As footballers, it's important we help as many people as possible. What's come out now is the 30% cut. We get judged every single day of our lives. The time now is to go forward and make a donation. Former Tottenham and England midfielder Jermaine Jenas said the criticism levelled at Premier League players "was an absolute joke".
Vasco da Gama do not have the best of runs at home, and neither do Chapecoense away but one constant factor is that the two sides have been scoring with some regularity. Both sides have scored in their last six meetings, and Chapecoense have scored in all seven meetings between them. Vasco da Gama have scored the most in the bottom eight teams in the standings but they have not managed more than a goal in nine of their last 11 matches. Given the two sides’ forms, and the fact that they have both been scoring in their meetings, we believe this clash will also see both sides scoring. We will go with a 1-1 draw here.

It not only lifted Atletico, it changed the whole mood of the tie. It was one moment out of a total of 210 minutes in the tie, but the influence it had on the outcome was massive. From thinking 'what do we do now?' when Liverpool led 2-1 on aggregate, Atletico suddenly had a new lease of life. The impetus they gained from it saw them score again soon afterwards, before their late third goal made completely sure of their progress.
Having advanced from a group containing Alianza Lima, Palestino and Internacional prior to seeing off Cruzeiro, Cerro Porteno and Boca, River have handled the pressure of big matches once again this year and that does have them coming into game in confident mood. Also 4th in the Superliga Argentina, despite their continental distraction, River are clearly an extremely powerful outfit that have everything needed to go blow for blow with Flamengo.
Whereas Liverpool used that win in Madrid as the launchpad to a golden future, Spurs look like a team and a club that has simply not recovered from getting so near but yet so far away from the greatest prize in European club football. Spurs, without injured striker Harry Kane, battled gamely in the second half and might have earned a point had Son Heung-Min and Giovani lo Celso not missed excellent chances, but the brutal reality is that Liverpool now operate on a different level to the club they faced in Madrid a few months ago.
The scorer of 97 Premier League goals in all, he must be keen to join the 100 club at some point. He has scored eight goals in north London derbies - second on the Premier League list. Will he split the vote having played for both?Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal 2018-) Was approaching 30 when he joined Arsenal two years ago but has made a sensational start to life in the Premier League, reaching 50 goals in just 79 appearances.
Wanderers' saw goals go in at either end in 100% of their last five away games overall, and it's in that both teams to score market that we feel that best value lies for their Group K game in Portugal this week.
the Newell's Old Boys Res fc team and the San Lorenzo Res fc team, go head to head in Argentina Reserve league. The Newell's Old Boys Res fc team is in 18th position with 18 points Collected.

While the guest team played at away last 5 previous matches, 3 of them ended in a draw.
We believe it is right and proper that the Premier League as a whole takes action on its finances collectively to enable it to be able to continue to provide vital funding throughout the game in England. What is your top-flight club doing on pay?Elsewhere in the Premier League, Chelsea players will continue to receive the same pay and Arsenal’s first team have agreed to a 12. Liverpool, Tottenham and Bournemouth reversed their decisions to furlough staff, while Newcastle United were the first club to place their non-playing staff on temporary leave and Norwich have also put staff on the job retention scheme.
Paralimni is not playing well in this season and suffering in away matches very much. But they have won their last match against Limassol by 3-1 goals and they will try to improve as they are currently on 11th place on the table. AEK Larnaca have played well before the break, but this team is not so dominant in away trips. AEK Larnaca have just won 2 away matches in this season and it will be very tough against the hosts, so I think that Paralimni has a good chance for a good result here in this match. I expect them to avoid defeat.
Meanwhile, Stoke have lost their last four on the road, while they have been beaten in nine of their 11 clashes at sides who are above them in the table. Huddersfield should press their seven-point lead here and extend it into double figures. Having already got one over the Potters this term, we expect the Terriers to follow up some good home form by piling on Stoke’s away misery.

this is a game of wits that sees two presumably good teams square off. Tuchel `s man will be seeking to exact revenge on Dortmund for the trashing they got in Germany. Psg front line will be seeking to prove just how formidable they can be. Dortmund will be aiming to shock psg by defeating them both in Germany and in France and earn a well deserved champions league quarter final spot. This game is difficult to predict a straight winner but it is definitely a game that will see both teams wanting to score a number of goals hence I expect at least three goals .
TALKING POINT Are Manchester United on the way back? It’s been a painful season at times for United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, lurching from crisis to mini-revival and back again, but the latest, sustained upswing in United’s fortunes might be evidence that they are heading towards better times more permanently.
The PZPN's announcement came after Poland's government has decided to cancel all mass events due to the coronavirus outbreak. All supporters who have already purchased tickets for these mаtches will receive a refund," the PZPN said, adding that matches of Poland's youth national team as well the women's national team, due to be played in Poland, will also be played behind closed doors.
KEY MOMENTS 37’ GOAL! Real Madrid 1-0 Espanyol: The deadlock has been broken! A corner kick was only partially cleared, Benzema then played the pass in to Varane who was still up from the back and the French defender finished into the back of the net. That was a very calm and composed finish. What a save from Lopez! That was a crucial save from the Espanyol goalkeeper to keep his team in this match.
The Croatian 31-year-old was injured during a challenge with team mate Alvaro Odriozola and had to be taken off the pitch in a golf cart. Ivan has an ankle bone fracture. That means it will take four weeks until it fully heals. After that there also be rehabilitative training," Flick said. It was initially a bit of a shock because he was good for us with his dynamism.
It's not a case of not enjoying the moments but I reflect on them and then park them pretty quickly. I'm always looking at the end of the season, where you finish, and not the journey within it. But I do enjoy it more than people think. Burnley are four points behind seventh-placed Sheffield United and are in the running to qualify for the Europa League next season.
Chelsea's first-team players and coaching staff are all in self-isolation after winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for the coronavirus last week. The Mirror https://www. Mount and Rice, both England internationals, were playing a five-a-side game at the Trent Park Football centre near Barnet.

Dealt well with the physicality of Hull’s centre forward Eaves, and popped up with what proved to be the winning goal. The centre back could even have grabbed another.

We want to try and play attractive football," he added. I see how the supporters drive the team forward, this is good. The long-term objective is to be competitive in the Premier League. I have my idea of this team and squad. I want to try my best to help the team to be better and to help the club to be competitive and to give happiness to supporters.
It was strange to see him sitting in Poch's seat wearing the purple. He was relaxed, he was charming and he was witty. He said he was a new and improved Jose. He knows some of the criticism levelled at him like that he doesn't promote youth, so he was very keen to speak about young players and the academy. He knows one of the criticisms is that he spends too much money and of course we know Daniel Levy doesn't do that so he spoke about how this squad is balanced and that the players were a perfect Christmas gift.
But after a turgid opening hour, the visitors suddenly clicked into life with three goals in nine minutes. Gabriel Martinelli fired home on his full Premier League debut, Nicolas Pepe rifled into the top corner and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished smartly to give Arsenal and interim boss Freddie Ljungberg a much-needed win.
Aubameyang was then sent off for Arsenal after a VAR review determined that a bad tackle on Max Meyer needed to be upgraded from a yellow to a red card. Sokratis Papastathopoulos later cleared one chance off the Arsenal line in a frantic finish. The draw was the third in a row in the Premier League for Palace, who now face a trip to the Etihad to face champions Manchester City next weekend.
NAC Breda against Jung Ajax in Netherlands Eerste Divisie round 15. Both teams are top of the table with wonderful forms. The host are 6th in the league with 24 points from 14 matches, scoring 21 goals against 15. Both are in Promotion Playoff group. Jung Ajax are 3rd in the league with 26 points from 14 matches, scoring 42 goals against 22. The last 4 meetings between both teams ended in over 2.5 goals scored after 90 minutes of play. I expect goals to be scored here as all Ajax games has mostly seen even over 3.5 or more.
