The Bees have won five of their last six games, including a three-game winning streak on the road. Each of those three victories has seen the visitors score three times, while Brentford have scored three in four of their last six overall. They should be confident of scoring another couple against a Blackburn side who conceded twice to bottom side Barnsley at home on Saturday.
On Tuesday it was announced that the French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons will not resume. It is not yet known whether the Ligue de Football Professional (LFP) will choose to abandon the season with no promotion or relegation and no champions, or base the outcome of the campaign on current standings. The Dutch top flight was abandoned on Friday with no promotion or relegation and no champions, while on Monday Belgian clubs postponed a vote on confirming the cancellation of their top flight until next week.
I work for the club. I'm not thinking about myself," added Mourinho. I keep saying that my ambition is the same, my DNA is the same, but probably I am in the stage where I look less to myself and my records and I look more to the club. I am optimistic because I start working from day one. Because I believe we are going to make some changes in our squad, and for that we don't need a huge investment like the club made in the past summer.
Read the full story Dortmund v United: Part Two Manchester United are ready to go head-to-head with Borussia Dortmund once more over the signing of another highly-rated teenager, despite losing out on Erling Braut Haaland to the Bundesliga side in January. According to the Athletic, the Red Devils are working on a transfer for Birmingham City's 16-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham.
Sporting have lost four of their seven home games in the league this season and are yet to draw at home, while Benfica boast a 100% record on the road with seven wins from seven away games. Sporting average 1.71 points per home game while Benfica average 3.00 points per away game, so you can see why we have backed the visitors to win on Friday.
Table toppers Chelsea thrashed Birmingham 6-0 while Manchester City won 5-0 at Bristol City and Manchester United beat Brighton 4-0. Everton, meanwhile, beat Tottenham 3-1 while last season's champions Arsenal saw off Liverpool 1-0. There were a number of standout performances this matchday and here are three of the best.
A Marquinhos double, Edinson Cavani's 200th PSG goal and a goal by Kylian Mbappe put them on 65 points from 26 games - but they lost captain Thiago Silva to a muscle injury and Neymar picked up a straight red card for a late challenge in stoppage time. Bordeaux, who scored through Hwang Ui-jo, Pablo and Ruben Pardo, are 12th on 35 points.

Playing two strikers at the other end has also paid off, with Ings - who scored his 16th goal in all competitions - making it 10 goals from 10 league starts despite missing a number of opportunities in the first half. You can see we've got smiles on our faces and even in the last few minutes when we're working hard and winning tackles," Ings said.
The Hornets are currently unbeaten in four league matches and have won three of those, lifting them off the bottom of the table and to within touching distance of safety. The great escape is most definitely on at Vicarage Road, and it only took them three managers in half a season to get there.
However, Spurs benefited from a huge stroke of luck, against the run of play, to snatch victory, as Alli’s cross took a wicked deflection over Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul, with Son arriving at the back post to sneak the ball home. TALKING POINT Spurs still have much improving to do. A victory was much needed for Spurs, with their chances of snatching fourth spot looking slimmer week on week.
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).
The Baggies have won their last three games on the spin heading into this one, although meetings with Stoke, Hull and Sheffield Wednesday don’t quite match up against a side like Bristol City. However, the Baggies have gone unbeaten at home this season. They will want to continue their fine run in Wednesday’s big clash.
“Borussia” went on a break leading in the championship with a margin of five points, and most importantly, the “zebras” were not affected by the departure from “bumblebees” in the German Cup. “Striped” continued victorious tread, confidently beating home “Werder Bremen” with a score of 3: 1. The Berlin “Union” also feels great, which, after the “Hertha” (1: 0), outplayed the “Mainz” away with a score of 3: 2 and climbed to 11th place. Fans of the "Union" can now poke fans of the "old lady", because their team is one line higher than "Hertha".“Union” had a great two last games and clearly added confidence, especially for Andersson’s top scorer, who had cases with unrealized penalties, but now everything seems to be over, but only “Borussia” is even very good even without Embolo. And most importantly, Ginter, who knows how to clean up not only his own penalty area, but also a mess in someone else's, recovered clearly in the form of the German national team in Belarus, having scored and scored a goal. In general, it will not be a surprise if here the total slips more (2.5).
No chance for the keeper. GOAL! Greenwood dispatches the penalty after Chong was brought down by Davies! That's six! The youngster fought for the right to take that pen. Hungry for goals. OFF THE BAR! Chong rattles the underside of the bar with a belter inside the box. Almost a seventh! KEY STAT Manchester United have netted five goals in the first half of a game for the first time since February 2001 (6-1 v Arsenal) - current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær scored the fifth goal for the Red Devils that day.
It's difficult for us to try to stop people gathering in parks when the weather has been good, especially young people. And I fear people would just ignore it. The police are right to be concerned about that as we are here in the city, and pubic health officials are also concerned about that, so we'd ask the Premier League and government to take into account all of these concerns that we have. Liverpool should be champions - but end the season'Anderson added: "I think the best thing to do is to actually end the season.

When German minnows Saarbrucken reached the semi-finals of the German Cup, they joined a list of underdogs ripping up the established order in cup competitions across Europe this season. The South West Regional League side's dramatic 7-6 penalty shootout victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf ensured they became the first team from the German fourth division to reach the last four in the German Cup's 85-year history.
They were far from their free-flowing best and were forced to withstand plenty of pressure in the second half but Bernardeschi's goal from Ronaldo's saved attempt ensured former Chelsea manager Sarri won the first league title of his managerial career. Sampdoria's hopes of finding a way back into the match ended as they were reduced to 10-men following a second booking for Morten Thorsby. Ronaldo's goal sees him move to within three of leading Serie A goalscorer Immobile, who scored a hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Verona earlier on Sunday.
Just one game I could find from Binh Thuan and that was a 4-2 loss at home to Ho Chi Minh which finished 2nd in the league last season in Vietnam and at early stages of this year played a couple of games in the AFC Cup as well. But still good attack to be scoring 2 goals against them although I am not that sure if it was the big team of Ho Chi Minh playing that game as at first side that was what it said yesterday about Ho Chi Minh playing with Khanh Hoa and they only won 1-0 that fixture and at the end it appeared to be their reserve side.
So will Tottenham. After what happened to them against Sheffield United on Thursday, I would expect a reaction from Jose Mourinho's side. It will be a good battle, but I'm going for a Spurs win. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: I still have a soft spot for Mourinho but he has lost that air of invincibility and I don't know if losing that magic means he has also lost the power he used to have over his players.
When Phil Neville took over as England manager the next step was to beat the best teams in the world and continue to do it on a consistent basis. He was in that mindset too. But I struggle to look back and see what our standout performances were under him. At the World Cup last summer, there was the quarter-final win against Norway when everyone thought we were kicking into gear, but from there it just never really happened.

But we’d bet that scoring goals is a big part of it, especially for 19-year-olds. And we’d bet further that “battering the ball past Manuel Neuer at 200 miles an hour” is an incredibly satisfying way to fulfil that daydream. Let’s just hope Sessegnon enjoyed it, before Mourinho sticks him at left-back and orders him never to cross the halfway line again.
We feel that this fixture is likely to deliver plenty of goals at both ends. Werder Bremen have struggled to find positive results in recent weeks. However, if nothing else, Die Werderaner have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch in the Bundesliga this season.
In the modern game he would be an out and out winger but he could do more than that. He could get on the ball and do things. Frank McAvennie: What a player. Frank had it all. He could head the ball, he could run, he could score goals, he could be cheeky, he could defend, he could close people down. Tommy Burns: Left foot, cultured, but he drove manager Billy McNeil mad because he would run all over the place and Billy would tell him to stay on the left, but when Tommy was a manager he would preach the same thing to his players.

There was no complaint about the England international's second goal of the night, though, as he raced on to Kevin de Bruyne's superb through ball and chipped brilliantly past an advancing Rui Patricio. It was the first time Sterling had scored two in a league game since the opening day of the season - and City seemed certain to become only the sixth team in Premier League history to win after having a man sent off in the opening 12 minutes.
A rush of blood to the head for Tottenham keeper Paulo Gazzaniga gifted Chelsea a penalty, awarded by VAR, just before halftime to put Chelsea in complete control. Tottenham's hopes of a revival were scuppered when Son needlessly kicked out at Antonio Rudiger and was shown a red card, with the decision again being made by VAR.
Preston North end is going to host West Brom to go head to head in the championship. They previously met on different occasions but we see that the guests have always come on top and they both find the back of the net and they have recorded a high number of goals from each match they have played.
This summer, we're going back in time to Euro 96. It was 24 years ago - before some of you were even born. So how different was life in the UK back then? In a sense, it's a rigged question, considering how much life has turned upside down in the last three months alone, never mind the last 24 years. For a start, there was actually a European Football Championship tournament to be played at all. And, even better, England were hosting, with Scotland along for the ride too.
Chayka Zelva is going to face Molodechno and to be honest we should see here many goals and the visitors should score most of them. Chayka is an amateur team and they played the only one match in friendlies. They played against Lida and they lost 0:10. It was a match in which we saw amateur players vs players from the normal teams. The difference was huge and I think that it will be similar in this game. The visitors play in the Cup's matches and usually they score some goals even against better teams. I think that Molodechno is able to pick a win here with at least 3 goals advantage
S. World Cup semi-finals in France. I was happy with the way the girls played," forward Bethany England told reporters. People just need to trust the process that we’re doing – again, it’s a long journey. The Lionesses have three points behind the U. S. Spain with four apiece, and face the Spaniards in their final match of the round-robin event in Frisco, Texas, on Wednesday.

The midfielder, 21, becomes the first signing under Jose Mourinho. Spurs have the option to make the deal permanent. I’m very happy to be here today – I make my dream a reality," Fernandes told the club website. For me, it’s one big dream to come to this big club. I will try to give my best for the club every day, in every training session and in every game and I will try to help the team wherever I can, working hard every day for this shirt.
The Bundesliga team are "privately confident" of securing Bellingham's signature this summer, but United haven't given up just yet. Paper Round's view: United have apparently been scouting Bellingham on a monthly basis since August 2017. Birmingham are in financial trouble and are now willing to sell, but it's a disaster for United that they might be pipped to the signing by Dortmund.
Unbeaten in their last seven matches against Saint-Etienne, Rennes deserve to be the favourites to win this match. In contention for a Champions League place, the visitors deserve to be respected for their league form alone. However, their Coupe de France pedigree is a different beast entirely. We can only see Rennes winning this contest.

Bayern said in a statement on their website that the Poland international had fractured his tibia near his left knee joint during the 3-0 win at Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday.
