Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 09:10 - Sinclair apologises for Liverpool ‘bin dippers’ jibe Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair has apologised for his ‘bin dipper’ tweet aimed at Liverpool. City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Burnley.
And, for more than 30 minutes, the home side once again looked destined to draw a blank. Tottenham's build-up play was ponderous and on the few occasions they did manage to find gaps in the Norwich defence the chances were wasted, as Erik Lamela fired straight at Tim Krul and Son Heung-min drove into the sidenetting. But, seven minutes before half-time, Alli provided the one moment of quality to break the deadlock.
With the Reds on an 11-game winning run and top of the table, Gerrard slipped attempting to control a pass, allowing Demba Ba to run through and slot past Simon Mignolet in front of the Kop. Willian scored a second late on as control of the Premier League title race fell out of the hands of Brendan Rodgers' side. Manchester City never looked back. Perhaps the most ironic thing about the whole incident was Gerrard's impassioned "we don't let this slip" speech after the previous home match against City.
Progressive carries measures the number times a player brings the ball at least five metres upfield, and a number defenders - rather than traditional 'dribblers' - make this list as a result. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson leads the way and the presence of Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the top 10 it suggests this is a tactic effectively employed by the league leaders. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are redefining the way full-backs play," former Reds striker Peter Crouch said on Match of the Day 2 earlier in November.
Pereira will be hoping his three Brazilian players, former Chelsea star Oscar as well as Hulk and Ricardo Lopes make it back, with their return scheduled for Friday. But, with the expected absence of several key players coming after others - including Manchester United's Odion Ighalo and Yannick Carrasco of Atletico Madrid - chose to resume their careers to Europe, the CSL's sheen and its hopes for an impending resumption appear to be diminished.

Aston Villa - final position, 17th Media playback is not supported on this device Villa defensive improvement key to staying up - Alan Shearer Left it very late to save themselves with the win over Arsenal and the draw at West Ham United - regrouped well after the break in the season but got lucky with goalline technology and Sheffield United's "ghost" goal. Huge relief given the serious transfer outlay and after being so poor for so long but have now bought time to improve the squad to avoid similar suffering next season.
Al Wahda and Al Fujairah will face each other in the upcoming match in the UAE League. Al Wahda this season have the following results: 6W, 2D and 5L. Meanwhile Al Fujairah have 3W, 1D and 9L.

Hodgson and company will feel confident as they travel to Carrow Road this week, and given that Norwich have won just three of their 20 league games this term we think backing a Crystal Palace Win or Draw Double Chance is a fantastic value offering.
Fans of Vitebsk have been asking a big question for the team's decline over the past year. From the position of a top 4 team in the Belarusian league, the team has lost itself and fell to a dangerous position in the rankings last season. Fortunately for them, they only finished the season in 13th place, not having to fall to the position where they have to play the Play-off match for the relegation ticket. This season, fans expected Vitebsk to make a dramatic return to the top team position, but once again they disappointed the fans. Their pre-season friendly series didn't succeed, when in 11 friendly matches, they only won 2 matches, the rest were draws and losses. Currently, the new season has started 2 rounds, Vitebsk has only 3 points. If Vitebsk does not improve the current form, it is likely that this season they will have to be difficult in the relegation position.
Writing ahead of their Sunday evening match with Parma, Inter are third in the table, seven points behind Lazio in second and 11 behind leaders Juventus. Brescia, meanwhile, are bottom of the table, eight points from safety. The visitors are winless in 13 Serie A games and unlikely to end that run against an Inter side undefeated in 18 of their last 20 games.

Sancho: How single-minded schoolboy made his dream a realityIn January 2019, Dortmund sold another youth player, USA forward Christian Pulisic, then aged 20, to Chelsea for £58m, and immediately took him on loan for the remainder of the campaign. Over the past seven months, Dortmund have done two more eye-catching deals. In January, they beat Manchester United to the signing of talented 19-year-old Norwegian forward Erling Braut Haaland, who has already scored eight goals in five first-team appearances.
US Soccer has postponed its men's training camp in Qatar because of "developing tensions" in the region. Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani was killed at Baghdad airport on Friday in an air strike ordered by US President Donald Trump. The national team were set to train in Doha from 5-25 January, before playing Costa Rica in California in February. US Soccer said in a statement that it was working on alternative arrangements for the training camp.
Boavista will be with the away team Victoria and this game we have given the home team to win this game or they will give us a draw at full time as looking at the last games this two teams have played with themselves recently the home team is not an easy team when it comes to home games and so this game we can say that they will continue with the same trend
In my opinion, beeches underestimated the possibility of goals scored by both teams The guest team has one of the weakest squads in the championship of Belarus. The team seems to be trying hard, but the poor skill of the Belshina players does not allow achieving the necessary result. Isloch was humiliated in Soligorsk by the local Miner 4-0 and intends to win against such a weak opponent. Taking into account friendly matches, Isloch missed in 9 games out of 12. Belshina scored away in 6 matches from the last 7. I will certainly play for a coefficient higher than two.
Heerenveen’s home games produced an average of 2.13 goals per game, which is below the league average of 3.25, and 75% of their home games have produced over 1.5 goals as have 88% of Willem II’s away games. Heerenveen have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games while Willem II have kept clean sheets in 25% of their away games, so we don’t expect either side to end the game without a goal on Friday. 50% of Heerenveen’s home games have produced exactly two goals and the same can be said about 38% of Willem II’s away games, and we have backed exactly two goals to be scored when the pair lock horns on Friday.

More problems followed in the last eight when she lost the first set to seventh seed Aryna Sabalena. Again, she recovered well and only dropped four games in the next couple of sets. It was a lot easier in the semi-final though as only two games were lost as Halep sailed past qualifier Jennifer Brady.
Coventry have been good in many areas this term; they're tough to beat, have a great habit of keeping themselves in games, while they've delivered the goods when it has mattered most on several occasions. However, nothing has impressed more than the way in which the Sky Blues have taken to life at their adopted home. Robins' men have won seven, drawn two and lost one at St. Andrew's, scoring 14 and conceding seven in the process. Only league leaders Wycombe have claimed more home points than Coventry this term.

Modern football can leave you cold sometimes but Sheffield United are different. They are not just doing really well, they are the embodiment of a real-life 'Roy of the Rovers' story in the Premier League at the moment and they have earned everyone's respect. I admire the hard work and graft they have put in to get the results they have done, and they have had plenty of shining moments along the way.
Under these circumstances, we must now do everything in our power to protect fans, players, coaches, and everyone else involved in our beautiful game. Most importantly, the football authorities must take all necessary measures to prevent the virus spreading to the wider community," he said. Most football leagues in Europe and many around the world have suspended play due to the spread of the virus and European governing body UEFA are meeting on Tuesday to discuss a possible postponement of Euro 2020.

Ralph Hasenhuttl says Southampton must become a "nasty team" again to recover from their poor Premier League start and climb out of the bottom three. The Saints, who have eight points from 12 matches, have gone seven games without a win and also have the worst defensive record in the top flight. We know we only have a chance if we stay brave," Hasenhuttl told Football Focus. It's about finding the way back to the track that we have been successful on.
The report said the proposal is one option to help clubs safeguard their financial future during the coronavirus shutdown. English football has been suspended until at least April 30 and league authorities have said they will resume action "only when it is safe and conditions allow". Players at Championship leaders Leeds United have volunteered to take a wage deferral, while Birmingham City have asked some players to take a 50% pay cut over the next four months.
The Blades have been flying in the face of predictions throughout their return season to the top flight, though, so maybe we should not rule them out just yet, despite them being given just a 7. Ups and downsThe Euro Club Index is predicting a worse fate for the two sides promoted alongside Sheffield United last season. Norwich and Aston Villa are likely to be returning to the Championship according to the model, with the Canaries having an 89.
Everybody are expecting an easy victory for BATE. However, I do not think so. BATE are far from their best and they already show lot of weaknesses. BATE have only two victories in the first five rounds. I watched them last week against Zhodino. They played poor, that's my opinion. I know they missed a penalty in the finish of the first half, but I still think they did not deserve to win. Gorodeya are solid in the opening part of the season and have a good record at the moment - three victories on the last three matches. They play at home and I think they could stay unbeaten.
Jack Grealish is unfortunate to not have two goals today. I'm still not sure why it was disallowed looking at the still image. I thought theirs should've been disallowed for a push on Tyrone Mings. What's next?Burnley host League One side Peterborough United in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday, 4 January (12:31 GMT kick-off) before travelling to Chelsea for their next Premier league match on Saturday, 11 January (15:00 GMT).

To underline their attacking prowess, United have scored five times or more on four occasions in their past 16 games. They only did that three times in the first 367 matches after Sir Alex Ferguson retired. How can you not be excited about him?" asked former England striker Ian Wright on BBC Match of the Day after Greenwood's double. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the 18-year-old might be the best finisher he has ever seen.
Coronavirus got to football. In general, the request of the Italian Football Federation to conduct matches without fans is half advisory. But the players and the leadership of the clubs are well aware that it’s not worth the risk and this match the Roman “Lazio” will hold at home without fans. As for football itself, the Roman club is only one point behind the leading Juventus, which began to lose points more often than last season. The leader of the home team, Ciro Immobile, is leading the scorers, ahead of Ronaldo by six goals, and in the last round against the SPAL, the Italian distinguished himself again. This “Lazio" in this season may swing at the championship. “Bologna” confidently holds in the middle of the tournament table and regularly scores points, sometimes beating powerful teams. It is interesting whether “Lazio” will extend its unbeaten run in the championship, which is already more than twenty matches? No doubt, the lack of fans will affect the game, especially the game “Lazio”, which in its last matches spares neither itself nor the opponent. Of all their few points losses, the Romans committed it against the “Bologna” in the first round match, tied. But that was a completely different “Lazio”. Now the team of Simone Inzaghi has become stronger at times and, most likely, in this match the situation will turn out differently. Perhaps the heat in this game is not worth the wait, then the stands are empty.
By beating Shirak in the recent round, on away ground, Lori did show that team has championship potential, and their ambition is to try getting to the title this season. They are on the second position now, only two points from the leader, and should try to use home pitch advantage, in order to push for the three point in this one.
In an interview with Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the 32-year-old revealed he refused to move to Paris St-Germain last year as part of a deal to bring Neymar back to the Nou Camp. Asked about his future, he replied: "I understand the situation but I'm not a sack of potatoes who you can do anything with. I want to be somewhere I feel wanted and respected. If that's here then I'll be delighted but if it's somewhere else then I'll be the one who decides where, not anyone else.

Leeds have lost four of their last five league games with just two wins in the last nine. That's nowhere near promotion form and a form guide for the last five league games has them 23rd out of 24 teams. Go back over the last ten league fixtures and they are 22nd. United have one away victory in their last five Championship games.
Neither of these two sides have it easy going into this clash. Wigan's 3-2 win against Birmingham ended a 13-game wait for a league win. However, they last won consecutively in August 2019. They are in terrible form with only five wins in 26 league games, so Wigan are under pressure to start turning things around. Wigan should be worried, as the home side has won just three of the last 12 league meetings between Wigan and Bristol City (W3 D6 L3).
Scrapping it is not an option - what we have to do is try and make VAR better. VAR has been brought in to the Premier League to decide on goals, penalties, red cards and offside decisions. Masters, who was appointed on a permanent basis in December after being in temporary charge for more than a year, said the Premier League would discuss changes to VAR with the clubs in April.
