We have two very interesting games in Portugal this night but I really prefer this one to be betting on goals being scored and main reason is that they met at the start of this season in the Portugal Super Cup on neutral venue and both teams had many shots and scoring chances, Benfica scoring 5 times but Sporting could not score a single time as they were demolished with 5-0 there.
There is no doubt Wolves want Nuno to stay. A contract offer will eventually be forthcoming. It is felt the 46-year-old shares the same vision as his bosses, recognises the club are ahead of schedule and accepts the need to take a breath before a concerted push to the next level. Yet Fosun are also prepared. As with Thelwell, they regard it as a positive that rival organisations are interested in their employees, as confirmation Wolves are doing something right.
Racing de Ferrol have not lost in their last 6 matches by winning 3 of them. They are coming from a 3-3 draw against Melilla and I expect them to play very good football here as well. They sit on 8th spot right now and managed 5 wins, draws and 4 defeats in this season.
And ahead of taking charge of his first match against Burnley on Boxing Day, he is thinking big. I’m excited to be here at one of the greatest clubs in England," he told the club’s official channel.

Despite some good performances, the Brazilian defender is 35 and it seems his best days are behind him. Letting him go also frees up his huge salary, estimated at 17m euros a year. Marquinhos is ready to succeed him and PSG are reportedly hard at work trying to find him a new defensive partner. WHO IS INTERESTED? A return to AC Milan has long been mooted with Silva never hiding his affection for the Italian club.
Again, broadcasters have signed contracts for an agreed number of matches and so if those matches are not played then it could be argued that the contracts have been breached and compensation must be paid. Total shutdown until September' A separate report in The Independent stated that the idea that football could resume at the start of April was viewed as "ludicrous" in some quarters.
He told me he was Dele. OK,’ I said. Play like Dele. Today, that’s exactly what Alli did in the first half. The attitude, ability and edge that had previously confirmed Alli as one of the rising stars of the English game were all back on show. Mourinho has a fantastic track record in extracting the best from attacking midfielders like Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Jesse Lingard.
Arsenal are enduring their longest winless league run in a single season since 1994 and are seven points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea in eighth spot. They have not won in all competitions for eight games but Ljungberg remained upbeat. Swede said when asked if Arsenal could still mount a top-four challenge.
The attitude towards the club in the county council changed,” he said. Because we were successful they felt the club was in a position to stand on its own feet. But that wasn’t the case. We needed to develop the academy facilities. They did not survive long enough to build their own stadium, playing their three seasons in Morton Stadium - an athletics venue. They had just signed a deal to play their next three campaigns at Dalymount Park.
I am little bit surprised that Diriangen is considered as such a big favorite in this match, I mean the difference between these two teams is only 6 points. Diriangen has won 24 points so far, scoring only 14 goals however their defense is amazing allowing only 6 goals. Walter Ferretti on the other side are completely different team, they scored 22 goals but conceding 15 goals so far.
However, the domestic title race will continue to thrill, with virtually nothing between these flawed fallen giants.

Frankfurt battled back to a 2-1 win at a half-empty Emirates Stadium on Thursday night as Arsenal missed the chance to guarantee a spot in the Europa League knock-out stages. Emery on the brink after Arsenal fall to Eintracht comeback Arsenal will still qualify from the group if they avoid a heavy defeat at Standard Liege in December, but the loss leaves them winless in seven matches.
Paper Round's view: Lingard certainly think a lot of himself if he rates himself as "one of the best" in Europe. The attacking midfielder was arguably at his peak at the beginning of 2018 and he still wasn't near to being of the best in his role just in the Premier League. It seems like his time at Old Trafford is unfortunately coming to an end, which is tough for any academy graduate - especially someone like Lingard who has been at the club since he was seven.
Mourinho said Lampard had resorted to the same three-at-the-back system that was familiar to the team after former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte used it to win the league title in the 2016-17 season. They played in a system where they are very comfortable with, a system where they played for two years with Antonio Conte," Mourinho said.
Being unhappy is coming home on my own, having to clean, iron, I don't know how to do it. I have to cook, I would cook fried egg and sausage, it's the only thing I can do," he said.

The striker's first goal of the season helped Everton break their run of being winless in 35 outings when they have conceded the opening goal. The fact they found a way to win this fixture points to a steeliness that seems to have arrived since Ancelotti took charge. The Toffees have now lost just once in seven league games - against champions Manchester City - under the Italian.
A week later, their match with Bunillidh Thistle fell victim to a waterlogged pitch. Into February, the problems continued, with a trip to Golspie Sutherland cancelled. When it came to hosting the same team a week later, the Orkney boys went to extra lengths to ensure the game went ahead - even picking their opponents up from the ferry. But with the fixture backlog, they now have no choice but to play two games on the same.

Ulsan is in first place and in the last match they wants at least 1 point to be the champion. They have 3 points more than Jeonbuk that is in second place and if Ulsa lose and Jeonbuk win, Jeonbuk will be the champion because of goals difference. So Ulsan needs at least a point here and I think this match is more at draw because I predict that also the away team, Pohang, will make a good match because they needs a win to catch the third place. They still have hopes and I think they will play a good match. A draw here for me.
I wanted to beat my brother and do what he does. I loved every sport anyway - I did every sport - but football was the sport my brother loved and I fell in love with it through that.

I've been in that time when I had to pay for the field and to pay to turn up and train twice a week.

Of more consequence for the major leagues is the massive financial hit taken by Ligue 1 after their domestic rights holders Canal+ and beIN Sports confirmed an intention to withhold the latest payment, which was due on 5 April. Should France, Italy or Spain close their leagues down for the season, that is likely to have far reaching consequences for the game given, together with England, 16 out of the 28 teams remaining in the Champions or Europa Leagues come from one of those four countries.
And we need. Mourinho also said Giovani Lo Celso, who scored in the midweek FA Cup replay win over Middlesbrough, will stay at Tottenham beyond the summer having arrived on a loan deal from Spanish club Real Betis.

IMO, the power of Hearts as a squad is not present the expected results so far in Scotland Premiership. Hosts are placed as 11th on standing, sharing the last position together with Hamilton, having one of the weak defensive line-ups in the league. Hosts are playing recently way better, managing run from 5 straight undefeated matches in a row, scoring 10 goals on the last 4 matches. Tonight, facing vs the middle-placed team of Kilmarnock, hosts will be able to force for a 3 pts game. Visitors despite the last win vs Ross County by 3-1, have lost the last 7 straight domestic league games. Kilmarnock defeats are showing defensive problems as well. But tonight, they are coming aware that vs Hearts, they can try to do something better.

That all changed in the second half, when Erling Haaland poked in a loose ball from three yards to give them the lead in the 69th minute.

I know Arsenal have won their past three league games but they rode their luck against West Ham last week and there are not yet at the stage where I completely trust them. Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Man City v BurnleyManchester City did not play well against Manchester United last weekend and it was a reminder that, as good as they are going forward, they still have a problem at the back. It is a basic problem too - Nicolas Otamendi is so rash.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed striker Sergio Aguero will be out "for a few weeks" with the thigh injury he sustained in Saturday's win against Chelsea.

Sergio will be out for a few games," said Guardiola.
