They have won eight home league games this season but drawn seven. Only two of their last eight home league games have ended in victory with no goals scored in the last two. Seven of the last eight at home in the Championship have had under 2. Their run-in is a bit tricky and they still have to play Fulham at home, so they will want as many points as possible before that July 14 clash.
We’re confident that Saturday’s match will end in a draw and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Aves have not performed well enough at home this season and should be picking up at least a point from Saturday’s match while Portimonense have only managed to win once on the road so far. Both teams head into the game with one win from their last six competitive matches and we can’t see either side doing enough to secure all three points this weekend.
It’s the rest that matters, the relegation and the promotion. People accept it when teams don’t make it through the play-offs. We’ve seen the tears, adulation and everything that goes with losing or winning a play-off game. Games have to be played. You can’t make a quick-fix decision because it’s not going to suit a lot of people.

For anybody on the fringes of the squad whose place is not yet guaranteed, this winter's window could be a final chance to secure a move to increase either their game-time or chances of silverware and impress Neville. Birmingham City midfielder Lucy Staniforth submitted a transfer request in July but so far remains at the Blues, making seven WSL starts so far this season. PFA Player of the Year in 2016, Christiansen, has already sealed her moved from Lyon and could make the first appearance of her second spell with Everton on Saturday against another of her former clubs in Manchester City.

Quite how Stockley Park could have multiple looks at both incidents and then award Tottenham a goal kick is mystifying. Hugo Lloris of Tottenham Hotspur has a heated exchange with Kyle Walker of Manchester City during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on February 02, 2020 in London, United KingdomGetty Images When Sterling went over the Spurs players reacted immediately, demanding a second yellow card.
Every available player - even the unwanted Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez - has started at least one game since last month's restart, and Zidane's ability to make every player feel needed and important (well, nearly every player) remains unmatched. Brilliant Benzema Only Lionel Messi has scored more La Liga goals than Karim Benzema this seasonOne forward who hasn't disappointed in the scoring stakes is Benzema, who has been consistently outstanding to produce 21 goals and eight assists.
On Sunday, Eric Dier came in out of nowhere and Dier is a player I continuously look at and feel he is not good enough to play for Tottenham right now, along with a couple of others. Media playback is not supported on this device Tottenham punished for 'mentality mistakes' - Mourinho Spurs have no pace, so utilise NdombeleI look at Tanguy Ndombele and I am thinking £60m, I watched him at Lyon - a top midfield player when he is at it.
Only three points behind the reigning champions, Alkmaar can go level on points with a victory. Due to their 14-goal advantage in the goal difference column, it would take an extraordinary event to displace Ajax from the top of the table. Mind you, PSV did slaughter bitter rivals Feyenoord 10-0 back in 2010, so you never know.
One of the Brit-flick releases of 1996 was When Saturday Comes - which was probably as good a barometer of the mood of the nation at that point in history as any other. In it, Sean Bean plays Jimmy - a talented footballer who may be able to make it for his beloved Sheffield United, if only he can overcome his own heavy drinking. Sean Bean, seen here at a Sheffield United fans' rally in 2007, got the chance to "play" for his club on the silver screen in 1996The number of stories about off-field drinking incidents involving the England squad before Euro 96 gives some idea as to the cultural influences that helped make that movie.
Uefa invited United to compete in the European Cup the following season, only for the authorities at the English Football League to stubbornly refuse to allow them to take part. Busby and United would have to wait 10 more years to win the European Cup. Atletico Madrid are the only club to make the top 10 without ever being European champions. In 1974 they became the first, and only, side to lose the European Cup final in a replay - the first of three defeats in the final of that competition.
European soccer's governing body UEFA is meeting on Tuesday when it is expected that the Euro 2020 tournament, scheduled for June, will be postponed until next year. Kinnear said he supported such a move so that domestic leagues can be completed across the continent, even if matches are played behind closed doors.
Great fun. HAT TIP "The quintessential Toni Kroos moment arrives before he does. He sends a text, apologising that he’ll be 11 minutes late. It’s all there, in that one line: the typically German concern with punctuality and good manners, the precision. ETA in 11 minutes. Not ten, not 15. Above all, the unhurriedness.

I don't want to sit here and look at ex-managers and criticise but there's been times over the last four or five years where a Ruben Loftus-Cheek and others could have had these opportunities," Lampard added. I wanted Mason to be around because I knew him closely. He's probably taken to the Premier League, maybe not quicker than what I thought but I've been pleasantly surprised by how well he's taken to it.
Leah Galton As our picks reflect, it was certainly a good day to have an eye for a goal as the top teams found the net with unwavering consistency. Leah Galton, as she has been all season, was impressive and a consistent threat in Manchester United's win over Brighton. The 25-year-old winger set up Lauren James for United's first goal before then driving home the second and adding a personal double when she tucked in Kirsty Hanson's cross.
Both Benfica and Sporting Braga had winless outings in their last matches and as Benfica host their meeting this Saturday, they will be gunning for returns to winning ways. Benfica are still top of the Primeira Liga standings with 54 points while Braga have 34 points in fourth place. Benfica lost to FC Porto in the last game, suffering their second defeat of the season, while Braga drew 2-2 with newly-promoted Gil Vicente.
Liverpool looked a team with little answers for the threat posed by City and as a result stay bottom of the Barclays FA Women's Super League, while City leapfrogged Chelsea – whose game today was postponed – into second. The first-half was one-way traffic, Janine Beckie spearheading all the Blues' early attempts before Bonner opened the scoring by getting a touch on a well-worked cross on 21 minutes.
Media playback is not supported on this device 'One of those awful afternoons' - Steve Bruce on Leicester loss The Magpies have been left short defensively, which will not help here, and they are going to find it tough if they try to rest too many more players at Spotland (also known as Crown Oil Arena), because it is a tight little ground and it feels like the crowd are breathing down your neck. Rochdale had a scare themselves in the second round, where they needed a replay to beat non-league Boston, but they held Tottenham here in the fifth round a couple of years ago and they will be confident of doing the same on Saturday, and securing another pay-day with a replay.
Nobody was chasing us, thankfully, or holding us. We didn't have to speak Farsi to get back into the country, but there was some moments where we worried we were not going to get out. The group had a private plane, which Rodgers said was crucial to getting out that morning. Reporting from Reuters 11:15 - Emotional Klopp pays tribute to healthcare staff Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he was moved to tears after seeing a video of hospital staff singing You’ll Never Walk Alone as they battle the coronavirus pandemic.

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez was ruled out for four months in early January with a knee injury, before Dembele suffered a serious hamstring tear on his return to training in February. Barcelona: How they can sign a striker outside transfer window and who they wantBarcelona submitted a medical report to the Spanish top flight, whose medical commission reviewed Dembele's injury and subsequently authorised the club's request.
Teenager Ansu Fati, who started in a front three with Messi and Griezmann, had two early efforts, one of which resulted in a superb save from Rui Silva. And in the second half Messi's low strike struck the side-netting. Granada spent most of the match defending, but a brief spell after the break saw them go close to scoring when Yan Eteki's firm low strike came off the post. Barcelona's next match is a Copa del Rey quarter-final match at Ibiza on Wednesday.
Now he must justify it. Hodgson's top class jobRoy Hodgson is nowhere near as fashionable as Eddie Howe - and it was understandable he received so much criticism following his England failure in the last 16 in Euro 2016. There is no question, however, that Hodgson is in his element at Palace, building a side that is solid in defence, dangerous in attack and solid enough to ensure Premier League solidity.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Vitoria Guimaraes. The hosts head into this match as the form favourites with three wins and two draws from their last six matches, with their only defeat coming at the hands of the league leaders Benfica. Santa Clara have lost four of their last five matches and despite some decent performances on the road, we expect Vitoria Guimaraes to just do enough to win Saturday’s clash.
The only media allowed into the San Siro were the host broadcaster and one cameraman from each club. In China the Suning Group - which Inter are owned by - also own the TV rights to many of the major European leagues, including the Premier League. In an effort to encourage people to stay at home, live matches were made available for free. It is important for people not to panic and it feels like many people are doing the right things, like washing hands, which definitely helps, " said Zhang.
It would be regarded as a major coup should he actually pull it off and it is understood talks have already taken place. Everton will now move to set up further face-to-face discussions in a bid to persuade the Italian, who won the Premier League and FA Cup Double at Chelsea in 2010, to make a swift return to football on Merseyside. Ancelotti is not the only option for Everton. Former manager David Moyes is also under consideration, although his name met with a negative reaction from supporters.

Manchester United have one win in the last six away league matches. Sheffield have scored the least goals among the top 11 teams in the league standings. Manchester United have no clean sheet in the last seven Premier League matches. Sheffield United have the second best defence in the league. Sheffield United have conceded in nine of the last 14 matches.
Mirandes hope to continue with their fairy tale here after eliminating three La Liga sides but they meet a Sociedad side that is equally strong. Both sides have scored regularly in the recent matches; Mirandes have shown their mettle against top flight sides and Sociedad will parade a great offensive record among its strong points. Mirandes have scored 11 in their last five matches and conceded seven while Sociedad have 13 goals in the last five matches but conceded six. One clear factor is that the two sides have demonstrated prowess in attck but the same is not highlighted in defence. Based on this we are backing this for a high scoring game with both sides to score being a good pick. An even better risk will be to go for a 2-2 correct score bet.
It is not not like they are scraping by like they are in the lower leagues, who are hand-to-mouth," said Laws, who managed Burnley in the Premier League. No decision yet on next steps - EFLHow will the suspension affect football in Britain?"Their futures are safe, if they don't kick another football for the rest of their lives they are millionaires and are secure. You are talking about 30 to 40 players per club, and then you put that in a pot and the Premier League clubs disperse that down the leagues to help support them through this.
They are by no means over the line, with Bielsa’s side enjoying a similarly strong run of results back in December last year, which seemed to be the perfect blend of tactical familiarity and match fitness. Now Leeds are peaking once again, so we expect them to hurt a Hull side who have had their problems this term.
We came here to win, I respect his identity and with the quality we have, we try to exploit deficiencies in the opposition, that’s what we do," said the Argentine when confronted with Klopp's criticism. Klopp knows, however, that despite this disappointment, this is a memorable season for Liverpool who lead the Premier League by 25 points will surely be crowned English champions for the first time in 30 years.
Atalanta have endured a dismal campaign in the Champions League, but they aren’t out of the competition yet. They may have taken one point from their first four matches in the group, but with two games to play they are just four points off second. They could cut that gap to a point with a victory in this meeting with Dinamo Zagreb, but that would require a major improvement from the hosts.
How Klopp turned Liverpool into title winners - the inside story£1. Liverpool's 30-year wait in numbersKlopp gets the fans on board Liverpool 2-2 West Brom - 13 December 2015Two months into Klopp's tenure, a late Divock Origi goal rescued a point for Liverpool against West Brom at Anfield, taking them up to ninth in the Premier League table. Klopp did not shake hands with opposite number Tony Pulis - with then Baggies winger James McClean calling the German an "idiot" - and instead pumped his chest and took his players over to salute the fans.
Atlético Madrid haven't lost consecutive Champions League group stage matches since October 2009, being beaten by Porto and Chelsea under manager Abel Resino. Atlético Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak has kept 24 clean sheets in his 46 Champions League appearances. Should he keep a clean sheet in this match, he would be the second-fastest goalkeeper to 25 clean sheets in the competition behind former AC Milan 'keeper Dida (45 appearances).
LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admitted it hurt to leave out keeper Paulo Gazzaniga for returning Hugo Lloris for Wednesday's Premier League win against Norwich City. France World Cup winner Lloris has been out since dislocating his elbow during a defeat by Brighton and Hove Albion in early October with stand-in Gazzaniga proving a capable deputy in the intervening period.

I think there is still time for us to win the league. Real captain Sergio Ramos underlined the importance of the victory for his side after a week in which they were reeling from a Champions League last 16, first-leg defeat at home to Manchester City and a shock 1-0 Liga loss away to Levante. This was a unique opportunity to put our own fate in our own hands for the rest of the season, against a brilliant side but with our fans on our side," he said.

Brighton striker Glenn Murray says some proposed protocols around the Premier League's return to action amid the coronavirus pandemic are "farcical". Reports suggest players will have to wear face masks when they return to training, with a potential restart behind closed doors on 8 June. Premier League club executives will meet via a video conference call on Friday to discuss their options. Murray says the resumption is a "really difficult situation to agree on".
But at 3am the next morning he received a text message. That player had taken his own life. I knew from that day on I had a job to do'"That's when it turned for me," said Richardson.

Richardson was working with Manchester City Council and Greater Manchester Police, mentoring young people who had been involved in crime, using sport to help improve their lives.
This was the weekend where the top two could have suffered Euro fatigue and a new era at Hearts was ushered in. However, it was business as usual at both end of the table as the Old Firm eased to victory while Daniel Stendel's arrival did little to change the fortunes of the team from Tynecastle. Here are the top takeaways from the Scottish Premiership. Lennon getting the most out of rotated squad A 2-0 win over Hibernian at Celtic Park looks and sounds like a regular day at the office for Celtic, yet Neil Lennon will undoubtedly be proud of the fact his side have maintained a match-winning standard despite numerous key players dropping in and out of the team.
Emery's prospects were hardly helped too by arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur's sacking of the hugely popular Pochettino last week after a similarly poor start. Tottenham's decisiveness in hiring Jose Mourinho intensified the spotlight on Emery and the Arsenal board, even before the defeat by Frankfurt. Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit's reaction to the news of Emery's departure was "it's about time.
