I see huge limitations when I look at Tottenham's midfield at the moment. And, while I have been massively impressed by the impact Jose Mourinho has made in his first few weeks as Spurs boss, it is an area of the team he will have to address in order to continue their upturn in form. While Tottenham still ended up nicking all three points against Wolves on Sunday, they went long periods without having proper possession, or the ability to control the game that comes with it.
And what he clearly wants most, like Guardiola, is intensity and energy in every moment and action. He delivered the mantra in his match notes as he wrote: "In my mind, energy is everything. In life, in football and in sports. It was what he got from Arsenal for the first 30 minutes as they ran all over dishevelled Chelsea, Arteta conducting from the margins, his demands reflected in the work-rate of goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as he chased back to tackle near his own penalty area to a standing ovation.
Landskrona will against Eskilsminne in match Sweden Club Friendlies. My prediction this match could be the end score is under 3.25 goals due to Landskrona on last 3 match in club friendlies always have final score is under 4 goals. Likewise Eskilsminne on last match have final score is 0-0. Moreover Eskilminne on last 4 match on this year only can make score is 1 goal. Therefore, I think this match can be the end score is under 3.25 goals. Likewise Landskrona on last 3 match only have average to make score is 2 goals. Surely this match will not much score from both team.
The club had planned to reduce wages of some staff by 20%, and place other staff on a furlough scheme which would see the state cover 80% of their salary. The decision was met by press and supporter opprobrium, and now Spurs employees will be kept on at full pay for April and the following month. From one point of view, this is an overwhelmingly positive change made by the club.

Here is another match from Qatar for today and new duel where I surely see a lot of goals, what is for me excellent option. So, Al Ahli is team who is have better chances to win in this duel, but we will see if they can do it. This two rivals are played last official duel in September last year and in that duel is Al Gharafa played better and won 3-1. Probably will be same and this time, so I will try it. Odds are in this moment maybe not so big, but for me is very real.
The Sun report also states that the west London club also hold interest in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner. Paper Round's view: Chelsea are clearly looking to shift the unwanted duo Giroud and Michy Batshuayi, but need to find an adequate replacement first. Tammy Abraham is enjoying a fruitful first full season at Chelsea in the Premier League, but he's still young and fairly inexperienced at the top level, so it makes sense why Lampard would want another striking option who can provide positive competition in his squad.
It wasn’t the most productive conversation. Instead, Schmeichel led United off the plane. A parade around Manchester was the end of the celebrations. On the Thursday night, less than 24 hours after those 101 seconds, the players went their separate ways. In those days there were no WhatsApp groups or any AOL-based equivalent, so that was the last most saw of each other until David Beckham’s wedding six weeks later.

Premier League referees will review the goalline technology error that denied Sheffield United a goal in their draw at Aston Villa, BBC Sport understands. The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said the video assistant referee did not intervene because of the "unique" circumstances.

There were wins for Brighton and Southampton, while Tottenham drew 1-1 against Crystal Palace. Have a look at my team of season and you can create your own at the bottom. Goalkeeper - Ederson (Man City) When Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola dispensed with the services of former England goalkeeper Joe Hart I wondered what he was doing. When I saw Ederson's brand of goalkeeping, I couldn't make up my mind whether Guardiola had bought a goalkeeper or another centre-back by mistake.
Subs: Riedewald 6, Tosun 6. KEY MOMENTS 28’ CLASH! Zaha spits in the direction of Brighton substitute Schelotto.

The 23-year-old, who has excelled for Spurs in recent weeks, has signed from Real Betis until 2025. WILL ERIKSEN THRIVE AT INTER MILAN? - OUR VIEW On the one hand, Eriksen is an inconsistent playmaker who has made a habit of going missing in the biggest games. In Tottenham's run to Madrid, it was Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura who stepped up in attack, not Eriksen.
The next goal looked set to be crucial and, after Miguel Angel Nadal made a mess of dealing with Demetrio Albertini's long-ball two minutes into the second half, Dejan Savicevic settled the tie. The Yugoslavia international latched on to the bouncing ball just outside the right-corner of the 18-yard box, spotted Andoni Zubizaretta slightly off his line, and side-footed a perfect lob over him and into the net.
Match between Lida vs Volna. My bet on this match is home team will win. Another match for club friendly match in Sweden and here the home team favorite are going to take the win for me. Hosts are coming from a win and are in good shape. In the last 5 matches at home they won 4 matches and 1 draw. In theirs h2h matches we usually did see many goals so it's under match. I think that hosts are better team and closer to win. In the last 5 games of h2h at home they have won 4 times and lost only once.
Their opponents are 14th in the table but they are in relegation trouble and need to get some wins and soon. Brighton have only won one of their last seven league matches and that was against Bournemouth, who everyone seems to beat at the moment. They also got knocked out of the FA Cup by Championshp side Sheffield Wednesday.

Away team won their first duel in the season 2:0, and they should go here as light favorite for another three point in the competition. Host is new in the league, and they are at the bottom of the table, with quite poor play, even against rivals of the same quality and the strength.
It puts pressure on boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer only a few short weeks after the Norwegian masterminded back-to-back wins over Spurs and City in the league. Solskjaer's problem is that he has found no consistency with United, and it's often one step forward and two steps back. They have followed up that win in the Etihad with two wins from their five Premier League games since.
Al Taee will host Al Thuqbah for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. However, I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Al Thuqbah have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. In last game Al Thuqbah lost 2-0 against strong Al Batin. Nevertheless, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory in this game. Also, we have Al Taee who's is not very good team in recent times. Hosts are more vulnerable team. They have two consecutive losses. In any case, this will not be an easy task. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
Except that decision hasn’t been taken by the playing staff, it has been taken by the *billionaires* who own those clubs. The PFA has clearly not handled this adeptly – allowing your union members to be open to such a blatant bit of political misdirection during the greatest health crisis in living memory isn’t great, let’s be honest – and its statement in response to Hancock taking aim at its paying members was unsatisfactory.

The situation made for a tense opening 45 minutes, but the game sprung into life in the final half hour, as Diangana saw his stabbed left-footed effort go narrowly wide after a crucial touch from Slovakian keeper Rodak.

VAR is a disgrace again Does the below enhance the game or - for those clowns who use such a phrase - the product of football? The answer to that is an absolute no.

Barcelona have become only the second side to avoid defeat in 20 consecutive Champions League group stage games (won 14, drew six), after Real Madrid between 2012 and 2017 (30 matches). Inter boss Antonio Conte has failed to progress from the group stages in two of his four Champions League seasons as a manager (also in 2013-14 with Juventus). This was Barcelona's first win away at Inter in any European competition since September 1959 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quarter-final (4-2).

Game was living at the edge before pandemic'Although clubs could see their income boosted by streaming games which are played behind closed doors, this is unlikely to help clubs in the Championship where Maguire suggests cumulative losses for the past year could be "around £650m". He added: "The game was living at the edge before the pandemic. It's not a sustainable business model unless you have sugar daddies who are prepared to write out those cheques for £20-30m a year - which to give them credit, most of them have been keen to do for reasons nobody has ever quite managed to fathom.
Verona have scored in each of their last five league games, they haven't found the net in more consecutive Serie A games since March 2015 (eight). They will want to prey on an open Atalanta outfit who have seen over 2.5 goals in 12 of their last 15 league games. Meanwhile, Verona have scored in three of their trips to top four sides this season, so we see them adding to Atalanta’s woes. Both teams to score is our pick ahead of this clash.

I cannot believe that the season is going to be so full of negative episodes like we've had since practically day one. There are many reasons to believe that it is going to be different. Spurs reached the Champions League final last June under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, but are set to record their lowest points tally in the league since 2008-09, when they finished eighth. It has led to criticism of chairman Daniel Levy by some fans, which Mourinho says in unfair.

City won the title that season with a record 19-point margin to second - Liverpool are currently 20 clear.
