And like Mourinho heading to West Ham, Solskjaer could have hardly asked for a worse weekend fixture amid all the speculation, with United heading the Sheffield United for a United Derby on Sunday. The Blades are fifth in the league, unbeaten in five games, and boast the second-best defence in the league behind Leicester.
The boys looked mentally tired towards the end, we didn't find that creativity. We can't feel sorry for ourselves. When you are at Man Utd you are privileged because you are playing for the best club in the world. Sometimes you go through periods like that and it is a test I am sure they are going to come through. We have got our targets'United are without England forward Marcus Rashford with a stress facture of the back, leading to speculation that the club may look to recruit before the transfer deadline on 31 January.
Eibar are notoriously one of the worst travelling sides in La Liga with just three wins claimed from their last 28 top flight matches on the road, but they have fallen back on solid home form in recent seasons to secure mid-table finishes.
He describes himself as "an all-action goal-scoring midfielder who drives well with the ball". He's also versatile. The lad started in a more defensive role with Wimbledon, before moving into midfield. Moving from defence to midfield was a very gradual process for me," Leo told us, adding, "It took about two seasons. I was a tough-tackling centre-back at the start of my U13 season and now, towards the end of U15 season, I am a centre midfielder and sometimes play as a number 10.
Tosun, 28, sustained the injury in training with Palace and will undergo surgery next week. The player will continue his rehabilitation under the care of Everton's medical staff at the club's USM Finch Farm training headquarters following the surgical procedure on his ACL," Everton said in a statement.
Lyon striker Ada Hegerberg, who became the first winner of the women's version of the award last year, finished fourth, while Arsenal and Netherlands forward Vivianne Miedema rounded out the top five. The men's award was won by Argentina and Barcelona's Lionel Messi for a record sixth time. Rapinoe, who was not in attendance at the awards ceremony, said in a recorded message: "I'm so sad I can't make it tonight.
According to the Mirror, the 26-year-old felt he had "no choice" but to storm the stands to save his younger brother as he feared for his safety. Dier's brother Patrick exchanged words with a fellow fan who had been vocally abusing the England international during the match and when Dier saw the situation he climbed up to where his family was sitting.
We're confidently predicting an Eibar triumph this weekend and we're going for a 3-1 scoreline. The hosts bagged a total of seven goals in home games against Sevilla, Villarreal and Celta, so they should certainly be capable of getting their fair share here against an Alaves side who have conceded almost three per game this season away. Alaves have, however, scored in each of their last three on the road, so we think Babazorros are capable of a consolation with Eibar keeping just one clean sheet from six at Ipurua.
He had his doubters even towards the end of last season but it is unlikely he will be underestimated again. Fabinho, arguably Liverpool's best player before he sustained a knee injury against against Napoli in the Champions League in November, has not been able to regain his best form since his return to action. The idea of Ross Barkley running from inside his own half to seal the deal is a lot harder to contemplate when Henderson and Fabinho are in top form.
I still fancy Leicester here, though, despite their poor recent form and the fact they seem to struggle without Wilfred Ndidi in midfield - he is back in training after his knee injury but missed Friday's defeat by Norwich. A lot will depend on the team they put out - I've talked about some of the other teams involved in the FA Cup maybe having different priorities, but why would you not try to get to the final if you were Brendan Rodgers? Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Brentford 0-1 Leicester City A cup run and a day at Wembley is the chance to crown what has already been a very good season for the Foxes, so I think Rodgers will go with a strong line-up.
We were supposed to be starting new pitch work on the 4 May, which would have taken 12 weeks to complete ahead of the new season,” he continued. So if we have a season that potentially starts (again) in May and then starts again in August, we’ll have to get a new pitch in. There are also players that are out of contract in June of this year and also, for most clubs at our level, the season ticket income normally comes in in May and June.
You guys keep fuelling the negativity and racism issue. Education is key. You guys at Corriere dello Sport should do a better job at that. ROMA Roma chief strategy officer Paul Rogers said the headline "overshadowed" its intention to be positive. The intention of the newspaper article was actually positive," said Rogers, per BBC Sport.
We have organised a tournament for the professional players that is as true to the conventional Mutua Madrid Open as possible, without them having to leave their homes," Madrid Open director Feliciano Lopez said in a statement. And its goal is not just to entertain; we want to do our bit during this period, which is so difficult for everyone.
The similarities with the hosts do not end there though as Peterborough also concede plenty, especially on the road. The visitors have seen eight goals go in at the other end in their last four away league matches, a stat which they know that they are going to have to improve on if they are to close the gap on the league leaders.

It is the kind of thing we need to bring to the sport," he said. Weil said the FiH would also end the practice of watering the artificial pitches used for hockey as an environmental measure by 2024, even though he admitted that "some people say this will kill hockey". You play a World Cup in India and put tonnes of water on the field of play whilst next door they don't have water to drink, this is not something that can continue," he said.
After a goalless first half, Mbappe converted an Angel di Maria cross from the right with an audacious backheel. Neymar sealed the points five minutes from time when he converted from the penalty spot after on-loan Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi was fouled. It was Neymar's fifth goal of the season and his first since 5 October.
Mourinho greeted the opener with a celebratory punch towards the ground. His reaction to the second was far more businesslike, screaming at his players, then shouting at Toby Alderweireld when he was ignored, to deliver an instruction to do with team shape. Three hundred and forty two days after his last match as a manager - and another derby of sorts - this was about as far removed from Manchester United's 3-1 defeat at Liverpool as it was possible to get.
Liverpool have been winning the title for as long as I can remember. It might be a different trophy but it's certainly the same title. Who would dare regard Kenny Dalglish or Ian Rush as lesser mortals than Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane, for example? There is no distinction between the winners of the old First Division title and the Premier League title as far as I am concerned. Neither would I consider the latter somehow better than the former - just a different name.
He is also a former Arsenal midfielder, although joined the club four years after Ljungberg's exit. I spoke to Freddie after the [Everton] game," he said. I told him my idea and the people I wanted to bring to form my coaching staff, their roles and responsibilities of each of them. I wanted to know what he was feeling, I wanted to know what he had in mind, what his expectations were. We talked and we made a decision that the best thing was for him to stay with us.
It is different after the new year - there are different pressures. The trip to Ewood Park did look tricky but Robben's goal secured another win and another excellent quote. Look at the blond boy in midfield, Robbie Savage, who commits 20 fouls during the game and never gets a booking," Mourinho said. We came here to play football and it was not a football game, it was a fight and we fought and I think we fought fantastically.
Clinical finishing has helped the Croatian side to get into that position. Dinamo Zagreb have had the joint-fewest shots of any team in the UEFA Champions League this season (36, joint with Galatasaray) – however, they have the best conversion rate of any side, scoring with nine of those 36 shots (25%). That’s bad news for Atalanta, who head into this clash with a dreadful record at the back. In their four games they’ve conceded over 12 shots per game, with 24% of those converted into goals.
Gudjohnsen scored the only goalHowever, Mourinho soon found that his side were struggling to create enough chances so made use of the best holding player in the world in Claude Makelele - so good the position was named after him - and moved to what was called 'the open diamond. The Chelsea team which beat Newcastle 4-0 on 4 December 2004That switch gave more licence to Eidur Gudjohnsen or Didier Drogba and allowed the wingers to come in, Damien Duff on one side, Arjen Robben on the other.
Mourinho has never lost a Premier League game against Burnley - winning five and drawing three of eight matches - only against Swansea City (nine) has he played more games without tasting defeat in the competition. Tottenham's Son Heung-min has been directly involved in 15 goals in his 15 appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions, more than any other player (nine goals, six assists).
The WTO also called for the country to "bring its measures into conformity with its obligations" under international law. Who are the main people involved in the potential deal?Premier League warned over takeoverThe Premier League, Fifa, Uefa, La Liga and the Bundesliga have all tried to bring about proceedings in Saudi courts, but have been blocked by the country's government. The case was brought to the WTO's attention by Qatar, which is engaged in a long-running diplomatic row with Saudi Arabia.

We’re not confident enough to predict an outright win for Walsall though and we see this one finishing as a draw. 1-1 looks to be the most likely result, with neither side scoring an excessive amount of goals but both having enough of a threat to find the net. This result would see our initial prediction come through too and give us a nice bit of value on both markets.
Inter have only lost one home league game this season. Sampdoria have lost seven away league fixtures, conceding at least twice in each defeat. Inter have won four of their last five home league games played against Sampdoria. Inter Milan are third in Serie A but a poor run of form has seen them fall nine points behind the league leaders.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0Sonny's prediction: 4-0 Tottenham v BournemouthJose's back: played two and won two, and I can see Tottenham's revival continuing this weekend. It is a different voice in the changing room and on the training pitch and I can see Spurs going on a run now. I also can't recall Bournemouth going to too many of the top six and getting a result so I think Tottenham will win this one.
Port Vale suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Morecambe on Tuesday night while last weekend Leyton orient were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Grimsby, so both teams will be hoping for a more positive result on Saturday. We’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch in this game as both teams have scored in five of the pairs’ last seven encounters, and both teams have scored in three of Port Vale’s and four of Leyton Orient’s last six matches in al, competitions.
While there is this much life in Vardy, there will be plenty of life in Leicester's title challenge. Man of the match - Kelechi Iheanacho Iheanacho made one goal and scored the other after coming on as a substitute'We didn't deserve it at all' - what they saidLeicester manager Brendan Rodgers speaking to BBC Sport: "I thought we deserved it. It was difficult in the first half, they sat in but we tried to stay positive and play our offensive game.

Squads have been split into small groups or even pairs under strict measures to contain the spread of the new coronavirus, which has infected over 110,000 and killed more than 2,000 people in Germany. We had not touched a ball on a football pitch for almost a month and even if we're split in small groups it's a pleasure to play again and step onto a field that has goals," the France international told Eurosport on Friday "We're doing technical work, at a safe distance from each other.
Despite their recent results at home, Motherwell has struggled to keep opposing teams at bay, as they've conceded in four of their last six games. However, the flip side to that coin is that the hosts have been on fire in attack, scoring an average of 2.66 goals in their last three fixtures at home.
You have to know how to act when you lose and also how to act when you win. Sant Andreu apologised for their coach's actions. We understand why they (Bufala) might be upset by this incident," the club said on Twitter. The people responsible for junior football have spoken to the coach and the correct measures will be taken to ensure this unfortunate incident is not repeated.
Ibrahimovic's house in Stockholm was also vandalised, with "Judas" painted on the front door. The statue's artist Peter Linde has previously appealed for people to stop the vandalism. Former Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Paris St-Germain, Manchester United and LA Galaxy player Ibrahimovic has just re-signed for AC Milan. He is expected to make his second debut for the Serie A side on Monday when they host Sampdoria.
Cultural leonesa fc have 3 win and 2 draws in the last 5 matches. They have scored 8 goals and conceded 4 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 3 and draw 2 of their last 5 games scoring 8 goals and conceding 1 goals.
I'm really, really interested in it . Rangers manager Gerrard, who captained the Liverpool side during the 2013-14 campaign, told reporters. From a UEFA point of view, it is obviously a real strong sentence or punishment. I'm sure they will appeal so we will wait and see what the outcome is on that. UEFA said City had committed "serious breaches" of the regulations by overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA between 2012 and 2016.
They haven't kept a single clean sheet in their last five matches with seven goals conceded along the way. They’ve only won one of these games with three draws and a loss pegging them back and keeping their lead at the top to just one point. Much of their success this season has come in this tremendous cup run with two recent wins over teams in the division above them seeing them to this point of the competition. They will be right up for this coming game but will have to really withstand the force of a PSG side on top of their game.
He's here for a day or two so we'll meet up," said Bruce on Ashley's visit to St James' Park. He's been supportive since I walked in the door. If there's someone there who can improve us, we'll act. I think there's been three deals so far in the Premier League so it's difficult. Since Ashley took charge in 2007, six-time winners Newcastle have failed to go beyond the fourth round.
At least we got to the end though so I can't be too upset. Newcastle went ahead through Jonjo Shelvey then Mesut Ozil scored the equaliser. Alex joked that Jack had been "slating" Ozil before kick-off but the midfielder also went on to set up the winning goal for Alexandre Lacazette. He really turned up in that game!" added Alex. Jack poses with a scarf the pair picked up at Haringey Borough in the earlier rounds of the FA CupAs well as swapping a coin for toilet roll, the friends dressed up in smart clothes - or, Jack did at least - to mark the final and "to show our respect to the great cup".

Maritimo average 1.00 points per game at home and Santa Clara average 1.00 points per away game, with the hosts scoring an average of 1.33 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.67 goals and the visitors scoring an average of 0.40 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.00 goals, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw.
Hibs come into this game on the back of their first league defeat since the end of September when they fell 2-1 to Ross County in Dingwall. However, the Hibees will want to get back to winning ways at Easter Road- where they've drawn four of their last 5 games.
Of course, it can be difficult to stay on top of 10 games every weekend and if most of your viewing is perhaps two or three live games a week, then a bunch of highlights, you might often miss what a keeper is doing. That is perhaps why Guaita has gone under the radar so much. He does not play for one of the big six or seven clubs and he is not a (young) English goalkeeper which can explain why he is not getting Henderson’s hype.
Huddersfield Town will host Queens Park Rangers for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. I believe, Huddersfield have have a very difficult task in this game. In any case, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, we have QPR who's is a very unpredictable team. They have two consecutive losses. However, the visitors have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. So, the visitors have an effective attack. I think, QPR will closer to victory. Of course, this will not be an easy job.
