Liverpool have bought a squad player. Dortmund have bought somebody to sell in a couple of years time. Darren Randolph has gone back to East London. Try to keep calm. However, in the interests of getting things moving a little, Tottenham announced on Wednesday that the first signing of the Jose Mourinho era is here.
Atletico had to rebuild in the summer after key players Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Rodri, Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Juanfran all departed. I don't think they can sack Simeone," says Laurens. He presents so much to that club. He might walk out himself if he thinks he reached the end. But this was always going to be a transitional year anyway, because so many big players left last summer.
Issa Diop put West Ham ahead on the half hour, sliding in to poke home a Robert Snodgrass free kick, whipped in from the left. Snodgrass then doubled the advantage on the stroke of halftime, latching on to a Brighton clearance and blasting home from the edge of the box. Brighton got back in the game in fortunate fashion when West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski's attempted punch clear struck the back of his team mate Angelo Ogbonna and flew into the net.

Home team so far very hard score but also very hard concede goals. This team had last two games in the league 0-0 and I can't see them to change something. From last 6 games in the league Legion had even 5 times under 2.5 goals.
If I am concerned about that it has to be a worry for any parent or any person connected to a player that may have to put themselves in that situation, which is a situation of worry. Townsend is also concerned by the increased risk the virus appears to pose to people who are from Bame backgrounds, and says he would reluctantly accept cancelling the season if player safety cannot be assured. He added: "Unfortunately we have seen some stats come out where it seems more people from the black and minority ethnic communities have been affected by the virus, which puts another worry mark on the lines on my head.
The main aim for Los Blancos was to avoid defeat in Catalonia to stay level pegging with Barca at the top of the table, and they will now look to overhaul the champions as we move towards the second half of the season.

This is a no-brainer for me, though, because my drummer Dean Beresford is a massive Villa fan, and his granddad Joe Beresford played for them from 1927 to 1934. He is in the process of writing a book about him at the moment and the stories are legend. So, if I don't say Villa are going to win, I might end up without a drummer. In any case I have always had a secret liking of Villa because of their claret and blue colours.
When Bruno Fernandes arrived at Manchester United, he joined a team which had been jeered off by their own fans in a home defeat by Burnley days earlier. It was the low point in the club's season, their fourth defeat in seven Premier League matches. The atmosphere at Old Trafford was called "toxic", the performance an "embarrassment" and United's squad was "the worst in the last 30 years" after that result on 22 January.

Last month, the Olympic qualifying tournament featuring China, Australia, Taiwan and Thailand was hastily moved to Sydney from Wuhan, the city at the centre of the outbreak that has killed more than 2,200 people in China. China have remained in Australia since their 1-1 draw with Australia last week, which earned them a two-legged contest with South Korea.
To be the first Nigerian to play for Manchester United is a great achievement for me which I am going to cherish for the rest of my life because it's not easy to dream something and it comes true. It's a great feeling. I had to bang on the translator's door'I never believed it was going to happen because the time difference from China to the UK is crazy and with the coronavirus that is going on in China.
Villa Park has represented the perfect environment for Grealish to grow but has also stunted perceptions of the player - three years in the Championship, and out of the spotlight, have allowed dated opinions to fester. Yet he has been at the club since the age of nine, and has captained them since March 2019, a period that coincided with a club-record 10 wins on the bounce on their way to securing promotion to the Premier League.
UEFA can take a crumb of comfort from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar being scheduled for winter, freeing up the possibility of a summer event in 2022. The revamped Club World Cup in summer 2021 is also likely to be hit, while the second edition of the UEFA Nations League is another tournament in doubt. WHAT ABOUT THE FANS? Billed as a country-hopping extravaganza, UEFA sold the vast majority of the 2.

It’s bitter, sad and unbelievable. The match is a rare example of history being written by the losers – not just Bayern, but the millions of supporters of Liverpool, Manchester City, Leeds, Arsenal and the rest – and the neutrals. The legend of the 1999 Champions League final is that Manchester United fell over their own feet for 90 minutes and then scored twice.
Fergie's emotional farewell (2013) Media playback is not supported on this device Ferguson says emotional farewellThe greatest manager of all time?Sir Alex Ferguson's last game as Manchester United manager at Old Trafford ended with an emotional farewell speech - and there was hardly a dry eye in the house. During his 26-year tenure at Old Trafford, the Scot won 38 trophies. And it was only right he signed off with another Premier League winners' medal, as United lifted the trophy after that final home match against Swansea in May 2013 - a game fittingly won by a Rio Ferdinand goal in 'Fergie time'.
It is easy to get carried away with the bright lights of the big cities when you move to England, but that's not Ndidi," continues Okeleji. He is learning how to invest his money properly. Legends of the game have struggled in Africa after their playing careers have come to an end. Instead of going home and watching films he wanted to do something productive with his time. He may sometimes play PlayStation with his friends but otherwise it is just about football and studying.
The Juventus forward took his international tally to 99 goals with Portugal's second in a 2-0 win against Luxembourg that also secured qualification. So will he get the 11 goals he needs to surpass Daei's tally at Euro 2020? His 99 goals have come in 162 games for Portugal, a strike rate of 0. If he maintains that rate he would need 11 games to surpass Daei's record but, given he has scored four goals in his past two games, if he keeps up that recent form he would take fewer games to reach his target.
From one of the most debt-ridden teams in the country, Flamengo became one of the richest. But still the trophies did not come. Well, not until the appointment of the messianic figure of Jorge Jesus in June. The former Benfica manager became a rare case of European 'mister' - the term Spanish and Portuguese players use to describe their boss - to take a job in South America. And he hit the ground running.
Had Jarrod Bowen taken a similar chance as Sarr did then the Hammers would have snatched at least a point at Anfield having lead 2-1. Sarr stuns Liverpool to leave Invincible dream in tatters Klopp tells Liverpool to 'accept' loss and move on Liverpool were also below-par in their 1-0 win over Norwich.

Luton have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last six matches. This season 88% of Luton’s home games have seen over 2.5 goals, as have each of their previous six meetings with Charlton. The hosts have lost six of their last seven, letting in two goals in each of those defeats while scoring eight in return. With Charlton seeing both teams score in their last four trips, we see goals in this game. Over 2.5 is our main tip for this one, having landed in nine of Luton’s 11 losses this season.
On another frenetic day of sporting turmoil the announcement that England's top flight soccer league would be halted came shortly after the sport's European governing body UEFA announced that all next week's Champions League and Europa League games had been postponed. After Thursday's wipe-out which included placing American leagues the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball on hold, forcing the cancellation of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix in Melbourne, shutting down the men's tennis Tour and curtailing golf's Players Championship, the virus continued to decimate the global sporting calendar.
Some of the visitors walked through the city centre firing Nazi salutes. Relations went downhill from there. At the stadium itself, some Celtic supporters displayed a banner depicting an image of the dead Benito Mussolini's hanging body. Celtic were fined for it. Il Duce's outraged granddaughter, Alessandra, immediately got involved, calling the banner an act of violence. She termed it Ducephobia, "a crime that doesn't yet exist but which I propose to include in our judicial system".
The resilience and effort was brilliant and in the second half we got our fluency back and some of our goals were outstanding. We played some really good football at times," Rodgers, whose side had not scored for three games, said. The intensity is important to how we play and the pressure on the ball was much better.
There's the challenge. Arsenal spent more than £135m last summer, breaking their transfer record to sign Nicholas Pepe for £72m as well as bringing in full-back Kieran Tierney for £25m, defender David Luiz, forward Gabriel Martinelli and defender William Saliba - who rejoined Saint-Etienne on loan. But despite that outlay, Arsenal struggled to mount a top-four challenge and previous boss Unai Emery was sacked last November.
I do not see much reasons why Milan should be just 2.10 favorites to win here at Parma who is 4 points above AC Milan in the league standings at this moment as Milan is having a really poor start to their season once more this season with their previous couple of seasons being also quite poor for them, this while Parma drew 2-2 at Inter or won 2-0 at home with Roma and they are most impressive at home lately with 4 wins in their last 5 home league games and some big wins like against Genoa with 5-1 as well.
Xherdan ShaqiriGetty Images Shaqiri has started just one game this season, making five appearances from the bench, while Lallana has started four matches and come on six times. With Minamino potentially battling for a place as well, it may mean Lallana, who has struggled with fitness during his time at Liverpool, could be offloaded, with the Mirror reporting last month that PSG were looking at signing the midfielder.
The 1-3 defeat at home to third-ranked team Spezia was Chievo's second unbeaten match. However, it still helped Trick to stay at the 8th position on the chart with the ticket to play off the promotion, but only 1 point behind the chasing group.
Israel Leumit league where we have the match between Hapoel Petah Tikva against Hapoel Nof HaGalil. I will go for draw as the away team is in good shape after the break and I really like the HaGalil team. I am taking draw of the visiting team because the truth is that both are at the top of the table. Tikva leads the league and they have already started very well winning the first three games, but Hagail is not far behind with a similar start.
Venlo is in a very difficult situation. They are in 16th place with 21 points, which is not enough to survive in the league. This is one of the few games where they can realistically win because Heracles is in poor form. Venlo has not lost since the new year but in that period they have only 1 win. I think they have a lot more motivation because they fight for survival.
Every manager who has had Pogba in his squad, with the exception of perhaps one, has never really focused him on one particular position. This has been particularly notable in Manchester thanks to the constant revolving door in the manager's office. It feels as if Pogba has become the prototype of the good eclectic midfielder, able to everything but without excelling at anything.
The Bees are looking to record a sixth straight win when they host Charlton Athletic in a London derby (Tuesday, 18:00), and Thomas Frank's men will be two points off the automatic promotion places if they extend their victorious streak. The Baggies have dealt with the pressure put upon them since the restart, bouncing back from a defeat by Brentford at Griffin Park in their second game after lockdown to register back-to-back wins.
A lot of people expect high scoring game but I don't think that is going to happen at all, real is in great shape and also in great defensive shape so I think they are most probably not going to aloud to sevilla to score a goal at all in this game but on the other side sevilla is playing in great shape recently and I don't see how real is going to score more two goals to them so I think under 2.5 is very good option and the odd is very good so I surely recommend it to anyone
The bad start of the season for the home team, which is now in the danger zone but the guests are not much better, so they are in the lower half. If we look at each other's duels, we can see that the home team has been somewhat more successful lately. Gaziantep also never managed to celebrate in the match when he was a guest, so I believe that this will not be the case again. The home team is playing much better on their own ground than on the away matches and with a victory here they will be able to get closer to half the table. Luckily whoever follows I will try for a strong stake in Draw.

Zulte-Waregem will host Sporting Charleroi for the Cup. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Both teams are very average teams in this season. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Waregem have advantage at home stadium. I expect, they to dominate on the home field. Also, we have Sporting Charleroi who's is also ambitious team. However, I believe, Charleroi is better team at home. Of course, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. In any case, this will not be an easy task. So, both teams want to win. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
While some fans have expressed frustration about a lack of incoming transfer activity, it appears the relationship between chief executive Ed Woodward and Solskjaer is solid. As a club, we've got to stick together, we've got to be united, we are a family," Solskjaer said after some fans sang anti-Woodward chants during the recent 4-0 league win over Norwich City.
Everton manager Marco Silva says he "understands the rumours" about his future but believes he is the right man to turn the club's fortunes around. Silva's position is under pressure after a 2-0 home defeat by Norwich left them 16th in the Premier League. It's something I cannot control," said Silva, who met with major shareholder Farhad Moshiri and director of football Marcel Brands after the Norwich game.

Former England striker Alan Shearer was confident Ancelotti was capable of turning around Everton's fortunes. I think it's a great coup for Everton to have him," Shearer told the BBC. He'll be able to attract players they wouldn't be able to if Ancelotti wasn't the manager. Look at Juergen Klopp (at league leaders Liverpool) and Pep Guardiola (at champions Manchester City).
Satcher soligorsk reserve have gone over 2.5 goals in four of last five games. In total they have scored 14 goals in their last eight games and allowed ten goals. They will face Slavia Mozyr reserves who have a few high scoring games which are 3:0 against Isloch Minsk 2 and 4:2 against BATE 2. In their previous match encounters both teams have gone over 2.5 goals in five of their last six games.
We have been looking to strengthen the squad in different positions," said Solskjaer. But in midfield, at the start of the season we had four fit players for two positions and we didn't find the right one for the value. Of course, [the injuries] are a big blow. You could probably handle it with three players rotating. If you've got two fit it is a hard task for them. We will just have to ask them to keep going if they can.
Both teams scored in Gladbach’s and three of Paderborn’s last four matches and the hosts have won six of their eight home games this season while the visitors have lost four of their seven away games. Gladbach average 2.38 points per home game and Paderborn average 0.71 points per away game, adding further weight to our prediction for a home win this Wednesday.
A close encounter was anticipated between Real Madrid and Valencia in Thursday's opening Supercopa semi-final, but Los Blancos failed to read the script as they ran out convincing 1-3 winners in Jeddah.
