Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers (L) celebrates with Steven Gerrard after their English Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur Reuters Despite this result at the end of the season, just two points separated the two sides, yet both were a long way off Jose Mourinho’s rampant Chelsea team. In the summer Pochettino started to stamp his mark on the Spurs squad, mostly by clearing out a lot of the deadwood and building on an impressive first campaign.
After being relegated from the top division at the end of last season, Hannover would've been hoping to establish themselves as one of the front runners this term. Unfortunately, they've done quite opposite. After 13 matches, Hannover, who're sat in a lowly 16th place, aren't fighting for promotion but are fighting for survival.

Spurs qualified for the Champions League four times under Pochettino, having only played in two European Cup campaigns in their history beforehand. His teams play with a good footballing style, but he has yet to win a trophy as a manager - losing last season's Champions League final to Liverpool. Media playback is not supported on this device Arsenal are not in a 'good moment' - Unai Emery Eddie HoweCurrent job: Bournemouth managerPrevious teams managed: BurnleyMajor trophies won: None The 42-year-old Englishman is a legend at Bournemouth, having led them from the League Two relegation zone to becoming an established Premier League team.
Charlton had a short spell back at Middlesbrough as caretaker before taking over at Newcastle in June 1984 but it was unproductive and he left in 1985 - before what many consider to be the crowning glory of his managerial career. He had applied for the England job when his old boss Revie resigned in 1976 but never received a reply - instead he was appointed manager of the Republic Of Ireland in February 1986.
The visitors have kept clean sheets in 31% of their away games this season and their hosts have failed to score in 33% of their home games, adding further weight to our prediction for a 1-0 win for Colchester on Saturday. 28% of Morecambe’s and 24% of Colchester’s league games this season have produced exactly 1 goal, making a 1-0 scoreline the most common result for both teams so far this season.
Busan will play against Jeonbuk Motors in the 2nd round of K League 1 of South Korea on Saturday. Newly Promoted Busan started this season with defeat against Pohang by 0-2 on road. While Jeonbuk Motors finished second in the K League 1 last season and finished in top in the Championship Group. They started this season with narrow 1-0 win over Suwon Bluewings. Jeonbuk Motors is one of the best team in top Division last Year and new entry Busan need to work hard to win this. Jeonbuk Defeated Busan in all the last three head to head matches .
The main problem is that Nurnberg except for a 2-2 draw away from home at Regensburg some rounds ago have not really played high scoring games in the league since the restart, but they have no other option but to win this game after losing last round with 1-0 at home to Sandhausen, but on the road they even could have won away from home at league leaders from Arminia Bielefeld as they drew the game 1-1, and also dominated St. Pauli but lost because they had a player sent-off.
But those goals will just be a footnote on this game - even if the result is allowed to stand. Bayern's fans are not the first to protest against Hopp. Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach's supporters have been in trouble in recent years for banners and chants about the businessman. Hoffenheim were in the fifth tier when Hopp first invested in the club in 2000 and rose through the divisions to reach the Bundesliga in 2008.
Braga may not have the same lustre, but they quickly proved they can play as they sought to extending their unbeaten run in Europe to 14 matches. On a soggy, threadbare surface, Rangers were bogged down and played off the park for much of the first hour by the quick-passing visitors. Braga clearly hadn't come to sit back. Deploying a risky high defensive line, they attacked with incisive intent and when the opener arrived just 11 minutes in, it was already overdue.
It is also not clear how Uefa intends to play out the Champions League and Europa League this season, with both still to complete the last-16 stage. The option of fitting games into the schedule around league matches as normal remains, as does completing the tournaments after domestic leagues have finished. No deadline has been put on making a final decision but the latter choice would seem more likely as it is hoped - by August - that travel restrictions will have eased.
Does anyone doubt that if Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino had started in Sunday's game Liverpool would have won? Klopp and the other managers who fielded weakened teams, always say how they respect the competition and are simply rotating their squad but there is no escaping the fact that managers who want to win games field their best teams.
So I said if you don't know the information, why would I put myself at risk?"At Monday's meeting, Premier League clubs agreed to stage one of the return-to-training protocols. As well as training being restricted to groups of no more than five, sessions must last no longer than 75 minutes for each player. Social distancing must be adhered to. Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce said the league had been "meticulous" over the protocols and "done everything they possibly can to make sure that everything is safe" for the return to training.
CROSSBAR! Lacazette lines up the free-kick, curls it over the top of the wall, but the ball comes out off the top of the crossbar and behind for a goal kick. GOOOOOAAALLLL!!! Arsenal 1-0 Leeds. Down the other end, Nelson pounces to put Arsenal in front. Against the run of play does not quite cover it.
Liverpool has been simply incredible this season in the league I do no really remember any Premier League side having 19 wins and just one draw after 20 games played in the league, and of course they have way more than 10 points lead at the top of the league table at this moment just that they do not seem to be losing form at all, even won in the FA Cup with many youth players against a complete side of Everton in also a local derby.
But does it make for a better spectacle? And more importantly, does any yellow card offence? The current ‘punishment’ is to hand a player a final warning. Sometimes it does cost teams when a cautioned player commits another infringement and is sent off, or acts differently because they are, to utilise one of football’s finer clichés, walking a tightrope.
The side made it to the fifth round of the FA Cup last season before being beaten by Manchester United but prior to that they had been to the final for two seasons in a row, winning the competition in 2018. Their chances of winning the Premier League look slim at best so they’ll be hoping to progress further in this competition and add some more silverware to their cabinet in Frank Lampard’s first season in charge.
Arsenal will be happy to return home to a game of this caliber after their extra time loss to Olimpiacos and looking at their home form, versus the away form carried by West Ham, we are confident the Gunners will prevail. West Ham are winless in five away league matches but have managed to sneak in some goals and looking at the shaky Arsenal defence, we may see a West Ham goal fly in. Back Arsenal for a 2-1 win here.
As discussed recently, this season has become more important than most would have expected, with Chelsea adjusting to life without Hazard and with a transfer ban better than expected. It’s imperative now they can hold off the teams below them and ssecure Champions League football next season. That will allow Lampard to attract a higher calibre of player when he gets his first summer window to try and make the signings he wants.
It was a reality check for Tottenham as the "Mourinho bounce" came to an end in dismal fashion. HAS PEARSON STARTED WATFORD'S GREAT ESCAPE? Watford's 2-0 victory over Manchester United was only their second of the season and offered a glimpse of an escape route from the bottom of the table. Pearson saved Leicester City from the drop against the odds in 2014-15, the season before they won the title under Claudio Ranieri, and Watford fans believe he can repeat that feat.
Belenenses lost their last game against ferreira which ended six game unbeaten streak. Sporting CP have won four of their last six league games. They are on a two game winning streak. Sporting Cp are currently fourth place on the league table while belenenses are six points above relegation places. In their previous match encounters sporting CP have won their last three games against belenenses. Belenenses have many injuries that will affect their performance in this match. Sporting CP needs to win to increase the gap between them and famalicao to eight points to guarantee their places in the Europa league. My pick is away win.
That victory over Everton ended a run of seven consecutive winless games in the top flight for Daniel Farke’s side, and with six of those being losses it comes as no surprise that they find themselves stranded in the relegation zone. They sit 18th after that win last weekend, three points adrift of West Ham above them and knowing they really need to pick up the pace for the rest of the season.
But if he is to move to one of the division's big six, they would likely expect these numbers to improve. But we'll leave the final word to the man who will want him in his side next season, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. He has been working very hard and he is a special player," said the Portuguese. His motivation is to improve, he has broken the club record (most goals in a Premier League season) and he is challenging himself again and again every day.
And they were travelling into the unknown, because no-one knows what County team will turn up each week; victory over Livingston followed by defeat by Hibs, a morale-boosting win at Pittodrie before a confidence-crushing hammering at Motherwell. County have conceded more goals from set pieces than anyone else this season, and Rangers appeared determined to add a 19th goal to the list with a series of early corners, but everything was scrappy with little fluency from the visitors.
Chilwell then broke the deadlock with his superb goal but the visitors could not hold on. A return to the Champions League looks likely for Rodgers' side, who now have an eight-point cushion to fifth-placed Manchester United. Manchester City's two-year ban from European competition - appeal pending - means fifth place will be enough for a Champions League spot. What the managers saidWatford boss Nigel Pearson, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was good to get something from the game.
Chief executive Richard Masters said: "There are too many instances of footballers and their families receiving appalling discriminatory messages; nobody should have to deal with this. The organisation said it also will continue to work with football's major governing bodies to challenge social media companies to identify and ban offenders from their platforms. Anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out introduced an app in 2013, which was revised in 2015 to report incidents of discrimination on social media platforms.
PSV have netted 23 goals at home and have conceded 9 goals while Zwolle have only scored 7 goals away from home and have conceded 18 goals, adding further weight to our prediction for a home win on Saturday. 100% of PSV’s home games and Zwolle’s away games have produced over 1.5 goals, so we can’t see there being any fewer than two goals scored on Saturday.
This is a project that took a lot of time to get over the finish line but it really speaks to the strength and commitment of that ownership group and David's passion to stick with it," MLS commissioner Don Garber told reporters at halftime. The primary dispute has been over the location of the Inter-Miami stadium.
They last lost a league match at home in 2017 – to Crystal Palace. Liverpool have 15 straight home wins in the league, and are unbeaten in 48 home matches in the league. In the 48 home matches, they have 38 wins and 10 draws. They have scored in 23 straight home matches in the Premier League. The last time they failed to score at home in the league was in October 2018, against Manchester City.

Western Stima will host Zoo Kericho for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts have a great chance to get all three points. Western Stima is very average team in this season. However, the hosts have advantage at home stadium. They are undefeated on the home ground. In previous game Western Stima is won 1-2 against weak Chemelil. Also, we have Zoo Kericho who's is also very average team in this league. However, the visitors are more vulnerable away from home. I think, they have a very difficult task in this match. In any case, the hosts will try to remain unbeaten at home. My pick - Western Stima to win.
It was not possible given the current coronavirus but they still relished every moment and deservedly so. It was only sad that so many supporters once again chose to ignore the urgings of Liverpool as a club, manager Jurgen Klopp and Dalglish himself, to stay away from the stadium, instead gathering in greater numbers as the game went on, forcing Merseyside Police to put a dispersal zone in place. Inside, Anfield was plunged into darkness before a light show of rock concert proportions flashed around the stadium, Klopp and his staff leading the way before Liverpool's players got their golden moment.
It means he takes a 2-0 lead in the hot-seat head-to-head with his old gaffer, but more importantly stops a rot that had seen the Blues lose four of their previous five league matches. Spurs were favourites given their improved form since Mourinho was appointed, but they were second best throughout. A suspension for Son will be a blow - but the alleged racist abuse from the crowd aimed at Rudiger will no doubt lead the negative headlines and compound a day to forget for the Lilywhites.
Wherever the current representatives of Old Trafford stand in the all-time league table of great football teams, they yield to nobody as producers of drama. In the Promised Land, his definitive book of United’s 1998-99 campaign, Daniel Harris puts the case for United’s Treble being the greatest season of all.
Rangers have kept two clean sheets in their opening four group games, while Feyenboord have failed to score in two of their four matches and have kept one clean sheet, which is why we are backing a 0-0 draw between the pair on Thursday. Feyenoord have only lost one of their seven domestic home games this season and Rangers are yet to be beaten on the road in Scotland, so we are expecting a very close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair.
HB Kite will play against Nykøbing in the club Friendly game on Tuesday. Koge lost to Nordsjaelland by 0-1 in the last game in club Friendly. But they Defeated vendsyssel by 2-0 at home in the last league game. But lost previous home game to this Opponent Nykøbing by 0-2. While Nykøbing Drawn last game by 0-0 to Naestved and Defeated skive by 4-2 in club Friendly Games in the League matches. They won four of the six friendly Games .
We can see the visitors breaking the deadlock in this close clash, as Roma have found the net in each of their last 10 away games in Serie A against Verona. The visitors do have an impressive record in trips like this, which should lead them to another victory. Roma have won their last 19 Serie A games against newly-promoted sides: the longest ever such streak in the Italian top-flight. With Verona losing 1-0 in each of their home defeats this term, a 1-0 away win is our correct score pick here.
Rooney and his team-mates were firmly on the back foot in the opening exchanges, however, with Cobblers centre-forward Oliver proving a constant thorn in the Derby defence. The striker scooped the ball on to the top of the crossbar from point-blank range after County had failed to clear Jordan Turnbull's effort, before sending a towering header narrowly wide from Paul Anderson's deep cross.
It added on Twitter: "When you use homophobic chants you aren't abusing most Chelsea fans who will be straight, but all gay fans whether they support Chelsea or West Ham. We're better than that and can come up with much smarter chants that don't abuse our own fans. We shouldn't be the club appearing in the news for homophobia. Let's not join their ranks. Be better. Be West Ham. Support the whole West Ham Family, no matter race, gender, sexuality or anything else.
We feel that Celtic may score exactly two goals yet again in this game. We also feel that they have a good chance of keeping a clean sheet in this fixture. We are backing Celtic to win this game 2-0.
Don't let the sand complaint fool you though, the former Celtic and St Mirren winger is a happy man. Having never once set foot in the United States, he signed for David Beckham's newly created club without hesitation last month. Beckham watches opening Miami defeatInter Miami - Why Beckham's team have ultras'Bling slaps you in the face'The lure of being part of the latest, and much-talked about, MLS franchise, coupled with the uncertainty of life at Celtic, were the factors that made the decision an easy one for the midfielder who has two Scotland caps.
Celtic currently seem unstoppable and their motivation to stay on top is only fueled by the fact Rangers are breathing down their necks. The Hoops have kept a clean sheet in their last 3 home ties and have only conceded 3 goals at Celtic Park. However, it's hard to ignore Livingston's average of 1.71 goals scored on their travels, which makes Celtic -1.5 an interesting pick for this game- especially as the Glasgow club has won by at least 2 goals in all their home ties and Livi has lost 4 of their last 5 away games.
OFF THE LINE! Tanganga to the rescue for Spurs. Ings hooked the long bouncing ball towards goal after rounding Hugo Lloris, but the youngster was back on the line to head clear. CLOSE! Just wide from Ings. Obafemi again with the low cross, Ings just gets a flick on it with his right boot, but the ball fizzes across the face of goal and wide.
Coady believes the backroom team's forensic attention to detail is the reason the squad has remained so fit and healthy. It's been a bit more hectic this season with the Europa League but the players have got used to doing recovery work with foam rollers and stretching exercises on the plane back from away games," he added. If Wolves make it to next month's Europa League final, which will be played behind closed doors, there is chat among some fans about travelling to Germany to be close to the team.

Madrid optimistic on Hazard injury Eden Hazard was forced off the field with injury during Tuesday's draw with PSG but initial reports in Spain suggest that he has avoided any fractures in his ankle.
The hosts are set as slight favorites to be winning this game but I have to disagree with this as Derby is second placed in this league at this moment as they have won most of the games played by them home or away from home so far this season also won here at this venue with 1-0 last season and they are fighting for winning this league this season without a doubt and they have really talented youngster so will bet on the away win to happen here even with cover on the draw bet just to be sure I do not lose.
Last season's fixture between the sides at Coliseum Alfonso Perez was a very tight affair, and we expect more of the same this Saturday. Real obviously possess more quality and firepower man for man, but this is still a formidable Getafe outfit, particularly at home, and Pepe Bordalas' men can hold Los Blancos to another draw.
