Both West Ham and Crystal Palace have not had good runs in the season and each of them will look at this as a winnable game. While West Ham have not done so well away from home, Palace have also not been the strongest at home. It is hard to pick the stronger of the two based on their performance this season but one thing that stands out is that both sides have scored in each of their last five meetings. Palace are among the teams with the least goals in the season so far, but West Ham have also not scored a lot. Both sides have five clean sheets in their last 15 matches and we expect that both will score here. Our pick on this game would be a 1-1 draw.
The home side are 11 points behind second-placed Real Madrid and 13 adrift of their opponents. Their main concern is clinching a top four place to qualify for next season's Champions League. Currently, they are four points ahead of fifth-placed Getafe with nine games to play. Sevilla are unbeaten in their last six league games and have four points from the two games played since the La Liga season resumed.
It's those guys keeping us going at the moment, who are still willing to buy season tickets and executive packages for next season. It's all of those people who matter so much to us because ultimately it's their club and the fact that we own it is irrelevant, actually. They're not able to enjoy it [at the moment], yet they're still giving us their money in tough times and without that it would be a really difficult position.
Disproportionate game if you ask me, Sai Gon is in the top league in Vietnam and have a new coach since March with whom they started the season with a 0-0 draw at home against a tough defensive side like Song but 2nd game against Da Nang on the road where they could find spaces with ease to attack they scored 4 goals and I do believe they even had the lead 4-0 there, their Brazilian striker scoring 2 goals and he should start up-front in this game as well and alongside him playing as a fake striker is another Brazilian, so pretty decent quality for them up-front.
A decision is expected to be announced late in the European afternoon. Currently set to be held in 12 venues, with the semi-finals and final in London, it would obviously be a logistical and financial challenge but one that UEFA would be confident of carrying off. Next year, however, is far from being the "fallow year" many people think.
Last friendly game for both teams before start 1st league again, Ceske Budejovice vs Viktoria Pilsen! This game is simply overriding game because as you can see in all last friendly games both teams are very attacking minded and I think it will still be same because they need to prove their skills to their coaches and both teams for sure will not want risk some injury so defense will be so so I think, in the end I think game can finish some crazy result like 2:3 or something like that, I am sure about goals here, good luck guys!

Well this the odds are dropping fast at this one and with a good reason. The main reason is that Aalborg is playing at the Danish Cup Final against Sonderjyske so most likely coach Friis will rest all of the important players as that is a huge opportunity for Aalborg and the only opportunity for a trophy and the only way to get out at European scene. On the other hand Aarhus are in that 3rd spot so far with 54 points and really, they are playing an outstanding season and with a won here they will pretty much do the job and cement that 3rd spot.
Meanwhile, those with darker skin tones were "significantly" more likely to be "reduced to their physical characteristics or athletic ability", such as their pace and power. The research, conducted by Danish firm RunRepeat in association with the PFA, concluded that the findings showed "bias from commentators".

Last season Shakhtar won this game with 5-0 in the end and they are once more clear favorites for winning the title in this country and they are also not doing all that bad in the Champions League as well although they had some problems in defense there while drawing first 2-2 at home and 3-3 away from home at Dinamo Zagreb but they are too good for Lviv who is also in not so great form and I am not really counting on Lviv to score here as their form is poor but the hosts can score this much all alone.
Jurgen Klopp. Video - Van Dijk more deserving of Ballon d'Or than Messi00:29 10:00 - Emery under pressure Good morning and welcome to rolling coverage from the world of football news.

I'm going to go with a draw. Match preview Bournemouth v ChelseaBournemouth beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before Christmas, when they won comfortably, but that was not the only poor home result the Blues have had this season. Frank Lampard's side seem to be more comfortable on the road, although they have had not always got the results their away performances have deserved - take last month's defeat at Newcastle for example.
Manchester City still have a lot to play for this season even if their title looks to be lost. They are in good form in the league and winning plenty of away goals with Sergio Aguero in hot form too. Tottenham are inconsistent and missing Harry Kane's goals. An away win is the prediction for this game.
We forgot to play (last season). We scored a goal and forgot to attack at 1-0," Guardiola said. We learned from that, obviously, but we had a bad, bad day. City are third in the league -- nine points behind leaders Liverpool and a point behind Leicester City -- but Guardiola said the title race is not on his mind at this stage of the season.
The result saw Valencia slip back down to 10th, where they sit eight points behind leaders Barcelona and Real Madrid. To all intents and purposes it seems as though another fourth-placed finish is the best Los Che can probably hope for this term.

Luis Suarez then put Barca ahead from Lionel Messi's unselfish pass. But Alexander Isak equalised as he fired home after Marc-Andre ter Stegen parried Nacho Monreal's cross-shot.

All fairly vague stuff about "strongest actions possible. Racists feel empowered because their actions seem to have little consequences.

Individual punishments - life bans, criminal prosecution - appear not sanction enough for these idiots to be deterred.

Borussia Dortmund have more to worry about than just fit-again Paris St-Germain forward Neymar, says the German team's boss Lucien Favre. Brazil forward Neymar has been named in the PSG squad for the Champions League last-16 tie, having missed the last four games with a rib injury. They have so many players with great qualities. They beat Real Madrid even without Neymar," said Favre. Neymar is a great player but so are (Kylian) Mbappe and (Angel) Di Maria.
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.
It's a situation like going to fight with a gun without bullets. Mourinho struck a note of caution, questioning how his side can cope without Heung-min Son and Harry Kane.

Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off.

A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.
The Premier League should not be criticised for discussing how the season should be concluded, says former England striker Ian Wright. Top-flight clubs held a meeting on Friday at which finishing the season in a 40-day window was one of the scenarios discussed. The Premier League has been criticised for holding the meeting, but Wright said people were wrong to "have a go". It seems like football is the punching bag," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
Basaksehir, whose side is largely made up of well-known players coming to the end of their careers, are also in with a strong shout of making the last-32, though they'll need to do something that they've not done yet and that is beat one of the top two.

To be fair to the Gunners I thought they did enough to get something out of this game but Mings once again played a leader's role and kept Aston Villa's defence as tight as a drum. I've no doubt some hearts might have missed a beat when Eddie Nketiah's header hit the post and then bounced into Pepe Reina's arms but apart from that it was a terrific defensive display. Read the Crooks of the Matter below and find out why I think Villa will now survive.
