Willian’s brace carried Chelsea to a deserved 2-0 victory over 10-man Tottenham – but the spotlight was again fixed on racism after Blues defender Antonio Rudiger was allegedly targeted in the second half. Video - Mourinho: 'I hate racism'00:38 TALKING POINT The master upsetting the apprentice will be overshadowed.
The concept, the aesthetics, the technical realisation, even if very important come later. With this [project] I tried to tell this, that we are complex and fascinating creatures, that we can be sad or happy, Catholics, Muslims or Buddhists, but that, after all, what determines who we are are our actions, not the colour of the skin.
Bolton Wanderers 4-3 Reading (aet)In the 1994-95 First Division season, the play-off final took on added significance as it decided the second of only two promotion places to the Premier League. Reading would have been toasting automatic promotion in previous campaigns for finishing second in the regular season, but the top flight was trimming itself down from 22 teams to 20, meaning only two would go up.
With little to inspire confidence in either of these teams at present, we're swerving the match betting this Sunday in favour of backing under 2.5 goals, for what should be an extremely nervy relegation six-pointer.
We said as soon as he bought a stake in Hammarby that the statue should be moved. It was unavoidable that it would be vandalised unfortunately. For the sake of everyone it should have been moved straight away," he said. After years abroad he has lost his grounding in the city and the club. The Malmo mentality of 'us against the world' created Zlatan, Zlatan didn't create Malmo. Ibrahimovic left Malmo 19 years ago, and sold the property he once owned in the city back in 2015, so it is hardly a surprise that he isn't on top of the zeitgeist there.
in this match first of all I expect to see some goals to be scored on both sides because they are very close on the league table and not so far away from the relegation zone so both teams will surely attack and chase for the win and good thing for the neutral fans is that none of the defenses are good at all so both teams should surely score a goal and also it should be at least one more goal scored on top of that so who wants to risk could try with over 3,5 goals at the end
They will both hope to put behind them the losses as they seek a first leg advantage. Eintracht Frankfurt’s loss brought to an end a run of five unbeaten matches, with four wins therein and it was also the only time they have failed to score in eight matches. They have three straight wins at home though, and have scored 10 goals and conceded one in the run.
Furthermore, it says there is "no question" of the board failing to inform clubs of a potential £10m liability. That was not reported to you because it is simply not the case," the letter reads. The central complaint of Rangers is simply wrong and is based on a complete misunderstanding of the situation. On the claim clubs were erroneously told they could only receive cash by voting for the SPFL resolution.
Brighton have not won in their last five matches to sit 15th while 19th-placed Watford are looking to avoid a third straight defeat. Brighton have let in three goals in each of their last two games, losing at Bournemouth and drawing with West Ham United. Sunday, Feb. Sheffield United v Bournemouth (1400) *Bournemouth have lost six of their last seven away matches (W1) and failed to score in their last three away fixtures.
Granted, they benefited from a failure of technology in their home draw against Sheffield United but having done so could easily have taken three points as opposed to one. They then almost burgled a win against Chelsea on Sunday, taking the lead despite having precious little of the ball, before the Blues rallied to turn the game their way. This may only be the second point they have taken from the last 21 avaialable to them but it is a timely boost, reminding them that they can mix it with some of the top-flight's most stubborn sides and may yet well edge themselves ahead of a faltering pack of sides above them.
In Denmark, Brondby W and Farum BK W are expected to face one another today for an Elitedivisionen, women match which will be held at Brondby stadium, Copenhagen city. In the table, the teams lie close to each other with Brondby IF taking position 2 with 6 points after winning their last 2 matches in this league. Farum takes position 4 with 3 points after winning 1 of their last 2 matches.
It also said it would work alongside the federation and players' association to make it easier for player's to report derogatory chanting. Addressing the outbreaks of violence among fans, the league added that it would review how tickets are sold to matches and would press charges against anyone found to be involved in the incidents.
Only real reason why odds should be this high on the home win here is the fact that Valencia played this week in the Champions League a tough game against Chelsea which they drew 2-2 in the end but I was impressed with their attack, and in the league they are unbeaten so far at home, while Villarreal even lost to 3rd from bottom Celta Vigo with 3-1 at home last round and have many losses on the road this season.
Real Madrid remain one of the heavyweights of La Liga but sides like Real Sociedad are making huge strides to catch up. With a string of victories over Madrid in recent months, La Real will have no fear. We foresee an end-to-end encounter with plenty of goals and the lead being swapped more than once. Back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
We have to build on it and be smart in our recruitment over the summer. One player whose future at Villa will inevitably be discussed in the media this summer is Jack Grealish, who scored their goal at West Ham on Sunday and has been their standout performer this campaign. What happens now? He comes out and gets drunk with me," added Smith. Will he stay? I'm certainly hopeful; he's contracted for another two or three years.
Dowden said it was also important to send out a message that was "consistent" with that being given to the public. Football is suspended indefinitely across most of Europe because of the continued spread of Covid-19. Return 'will be behind closed doors'What should happen to the Premier League season?What is the state of play in Europe's major leagues?Discussing how sports would be broadcast if held behind closed doors, as is expected to be the case initially, he told the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee: "I have said to the Premier League it wouldn't send the best signal if they were one of the first major sports to resume behind closed doors and the public at large couldn't have access to it.

Managua FC currently leading the league, they have won 9 games from 14 played. Managua FC are still unbeaten at home after 6 games played. They scored 15 and allowed just 6 goals in these matches. Deportivo Ocotal are the second worst in the league with two wins only. They have 8 losses in 14 matches played, scored just nine goals in total in the league this season.
Meunier is out of contract with the French team in the summer and was a target of Unai Emery's when he was still in charge of the Gunners. His summer contract expiry does throw in some doubt his future at any club, as the season looks set to continue through June and July due to coronavirus. Oops, I thought I wouldn't have to mention it again but I have! 15:25 - Barnet place non-playing staff on redundancy notice National League club Barnet have placed all non-playing members of staff on notice in "emergency measures to preserve the club" amid the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The visitors are looking much more consistent than last season, with only two defeats in their 17 games this term. That solidity hasn’t impacted their scoring form, as they have hit 1.67 goals per game on their travels. They’ve already troubled the likes of Preston and Derby on the road, while they’ve scored twice or more in five of their away trips so far.
Brescia meet Sassuolo on Wednesday night, with pair finally locking horns two and a half months late. These two were scheduled to clash early in October, but it’s been pushed back to turn it into a festive clash just before Serie A’s winter break. Can Brescia wrap up the first half of their season on a high after returning to the top flight?
Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis at Gracenote, says: "There is probably not much difference between A and B for Wales pre-draw. If either the Czech Republic or Austria ended up in Group A though, Wales would not be the outsiders to progress. Italy will play all their three group games in Rome's Stadio Olimpico with the others in Baku's Olympic Stadium. Azerbaijan is the only host who cannot qualify Denmark's three games will be in Copenhagen's Parken Stadium - the rest will be in St Petersburg's Krestovsky Stadium (a random draw decided whether Denmark or Russia would host their meeting)The other home nation still keeping a close eye on the draw are Northern Ireland.
For example, while Lamela played so well but only for 20 minutes, you must think I'm an idiot. That guy (Lamela) who played so well for 20 minutes, in the warm-up, he was in communication with me because he was not sure he could go (on). Video - 'Panic mode' Man Utd chasing Wolves forward - Euro Papers01:08 To highlight Tottenham's attacking problems, Chelsea's opening goal was scored by French international Olivier Giroud, a player who has hardly featured in the league this season and who was linked to a move to Spurs in January.
The hosts have scored 2.5 goals per home game, while they’ve scored at least twice in each of their last five home games in the league. Their chance creation is impressive while they are a clinical side, which has made them a team to fear going forward. Setubal are fresh from a 3-2 win at second-bottom Pacos Ferreira, while they’ve conceded twice in three of their last four.
They have not lost in 10 Premier League games - currently the longest unbeaten run in the top flight. Midfielder Fernandes was brought in from Sporting Lisbon at the end of that month and he has completely revitalised the side from being a slow, ponderous team to one full of attacking intent and dynamism. A clever operator in the final third, Fernandes drives the team forward with his incisive passing and it was his crafty spin on the ball which earned the penalty, although Villa will be aggrieved by the decision made by Jon Moss and supported by VAR.
Brechin and Annan will face each other in the upcoming match in the League Two in Scotland. Brechin this season have the following results: 4W, 3D and 16L. Meanwhile Annan have 8W, 3D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The match proved to be the County Fermanagh keeper's last appearance for United as he was released and joined West Ham that summer. Cathcart crashes to City masterclass Northern Ireland players suffered FA Cup final disappointment either side of Carroll's back-to-back appearances. Chris Baird was on the losing side with Southampton - in what was only his second start for the Saints - in 2003 and Tony Capaldi's Cardiff City were beaten by Portsmouth five years later.

The first game in the round two of the Vysshaya liga in Belarus. The host for this game are Torpedo BelAZ and they will be facing Newly promoted side Belshina Bobruisk. The host started the season with a win against Shakhtyor Soligorsk away from home 0-1. Belshina failed to hold on to a 1-0 halftime lead in their opening game at home against FC Minsk and they lost the game 1-3. Belshina played really well in that opening game and they will not be making it any easy for Torpedo in this game. I think guest game get a point at least in this game 1-2
Sydney leads the league with 28 points while Adelaide is 5`th with 15 points. The visitors are ranked 5th in the league and even though they have only 5-0-5 so far, they are in the play-off position. Sydney is again dominant and they have 6-0-0 at home this season. They were tested greatly at home vs City but even with a man down, they were able to win the game. Sydney is the team with the best attack but they also have the best defense in the league. Sydney has won the past 5 at home vs Adelaide and this should come as well. Adelaide is in a poor form lately, losing 3 of the last 4 matches and they already dropped some points against weak teams lately. Sydney is surely a better team here.
The Premier League title race may almost be done and dusted - as and when fixtures can be completed - but things are tighter at the bottom of the table with six clubs separated by just eight points. But which clubs are well placed to avoid relegation? And who has it all to do?Sports data analysts Gracenote have used their Euro Club Index to work out the percentage chances of survival and passed on the results to BBC Sport.
Flick recently pushed Bayern back to the top of the Bundesliga, into the DFB Cup semi-finals and, importantly, one foot in the Champions League quarter-finals after their 3-0 away win against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Flick overcame every obstacle en route to taking on what is arguably the most coveted and difficult coaching position in Germany.
We would like to avoid controversy because it is not the time. But the tone of the statement, which seems overbearing, is obviously not to our liking. It should be remembered, that there are 'other' coaches, instructors, trainers and collaborators employed by football clubs who have merely working incomes, sometimes even below the national average.
Ultimately, we are expecting this to be an exciting and open game, given the dynamics going into it. On the one hand you have the hosts, who are clear underdogs but have made a good start to the season and are in confident mood, on the other you have the visitors, who desperately need a win to keep up with the pace being set at the top.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he would be unable to prevent Leroy Sane's departure should the German winger want to leave the club. Sane has not played since suffering a serious knee injury in the Community Shield against Liverpool on 4 August. His future, subject of much speculation last summer, remains uncertain with his current deal set to expire in 2021. It's a question for Leroy, his agents and the club.
Everyone had a common goal to be as successful as we could, to prove all the doubters wrong. We wanted to rewrite the history books and create something special and there was an opportunity. I've been back numerous times since and people always talk about that season and the two seasons under Roy. Obviously the first thing people mention is the run in Europe but those two seasons were sublime and up there with two of the best I had in my career.
Jota was the star that evening, taking his tally to nine in the competition this season. However, in the league he had only managed three before Sunday. But the 23-year-old, who initially joined the club on loan in 2017 when they were in the Championship, seems to have rediscovered his best form - and at the perfect time for Wolves as they push for their best-ever finish in the Premier League. Nuno will also be hoping Jimenez's first goal in four matches will also send him on a run.
And his players initially responded with a committed and gritty show, albeit one that lacked the quality to suggest they were ever going to trouble their hosts. There was no lack of application. Pearson's side collectively ran almost 5km more than their higher-placed opponents - it was simply a gulf in class. But they were also guilty of moments of carelessness in possession, such as when Capoue presented Chelsea with an easy opportunity to double their advantage.
Sunderland have said a tweet posted about new signing Kyle Lafferty which referred to loyalist pipe bands was a "genuine mistake". The post, which captioned photos of the 32-year-old with the message "he's seven foot and plays the flute", was posted by the club on Monday. The line comes from a song which refers to Lafferty's time with Scottish side Rangers and was swiftly deleted. It was a genuine mistake and was removed immediately," the club said.
Alaves has just 3 losses at home this season and they were tough opponents that came here and won all 3 points, Real Madrid, Villarreal and Sevilla, while Eibar is equal on points with Slaves in the second part of the league table 24 points won by both sides so far this season, just that Eibar is really not that great at scoring goals as for example when they hosted same Alaves side at home despite having more of the ball and more shots they failed to score conceding 2 goals and losing the game with 2-0 in the end.
Slovacko have been decent at home so far in the league with a 6-3-2 record and with only 8 goals conceded, they have the third best home defense in the league. Slovacko also have a good record against Sigma Olomouc losing only 3 of the previous 16 meetings at home.
To put it simply he is producing championship-challenging numbers at the worst team in the league. Yet where is the praise? Where are the incessant links with top-four clubs? They are pretty much non-existent. Why? Because he is criminally underrated - even, it appears, within his own club. Daniel Farke has a reputation for being a progressive coach - expansive football led his Norwich to the Championship title ahead of Chris Wilder's overlapping centre-halves at Sheffield United and Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds no less.
Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama is set to join Montreal Impact after Spurs agreed a deal with the MLS side. Kenya international Wanyama, 28, has made just four appearances for Spurs this season, with his only start coming in the League Cup loss at Colchester. We wish Victor well for the future," the Premier League club said. Impact, managed by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, beat New Engand Revolution 2-1 in their opening game of the new MLS season on Saturday.
Cadiz are anticipated to host Tenerife in Spain for a La liga 2 match which is going to be held at Estadio Ramon de Carranza stadium in Cadiz city.

Rivals Real Madrid have beaten them on four occasions - including both finals - while Juventus were the victors last season, with Ronaldo scoring a second-leg hat-trick. The last English team to knock them out of a European tie was League One side Bolton - under Gary Megson in 2008. Atletico lost talisman Antoine Griezmann to Barcelona last summer but have cemented a new hero at the other end of the pitch in the guise of Oblak.
