I don't see interim boss Ljungberg being offered the post on a permanent basis, and I don't see that changing even if his side win this game - but he could hold the fort until the summer if needed. Will Arsenal win? No. City won comfortably in Europe on Wednesday night after making a few changes and I am expecting to see a response to their derby defeat when their regulars return to action for this one.

Newcastle Jets already look like they want to put this season behind them as they currently sit bottom of the league with no wins in their last six matches. They are four points behind The Mariners in 10th and any playoff hopes already look beyond them. The side have only won twice this season and things look desperate with the team still lacking a permanent head coach following the sacking of Ernie Merrick two weeks ago.
The use of neutral venues would require a rule change, so clubs will need to vote on this matter. Various 'enhancements' to the broadcasting of matches are also due to be discussed at Thursday's meeting, including the possibility of camera access to dressing rooms, although that is understood to be unlikely. The Premier League is expected to offer a centralised plan for including fans in some way. European football clubs have used different methods to engage fans, with fans of Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus appearing via video link on a virtual grandstand during last weekend's derby match against Randers.
Juventus have shown flashes of what Sarri wants and still lead Serie A by one point but a lot of their possession has been sterile and, in Serie A, they have scored fewer goals than at the same stage last season -- 48 against 53. Sarri has complained several times before that the message is not getting across but Wednesday's performance was particularly frustrating.
As a player, I've had the privilege of playing with the finest in my day. As a manager, I've had the honour of serving what I believe to be the best club in the world. Ten years after the Munich air disaster, Manchester United win the European Cup, beating Benfica 4-1 after extra-time at Wembley. This is the greatest moment of my life, the fulfilment of my dearest wish to become the first English club to win the European Cup.
A collision course written in the starsThe 2014-15 season started ominously for McCall at Fir Park. His Motherwell team, second the previous season, were out of Europe to Icelandic minnows Stjarnan at the first hurdle. It would prove to be a turning point for both club and coach. We were so successful for those three or four years and were there great moments," McCall told the Four Lads Had a Dream podcast.
Here is an interesting piece of statistic I am sure you will be interested if wanting to bet on this game, Lyon has played 8 of its last 9 away games in all competitions with over 2.5 goals scored in them, and odds are 2.30 in this encounter for taking the over 2.5 goals bet under the circumstances that the hosts lost 2-1 to Bordeaux and won 3-2 with St Etienne their last two home games in the league so games with both teams scoring and at least 3 goals being scored both times.

Romain Saïss tries a through ball, but Daniel Podence is caught offside.
Bordeaux’s home form has been very strong recently whereas Nîmes have the third worst away record in the league. The Crocodiles were lucky to get a point against a poor Metz side at the weekend so we’re going to back the hosts to get the win here. Les Girondins should’ve got the win over Reims on Saturday so we’re expecting them to get the three points here against a far weaker team. Nîmes have failed to score in five of their last eight away games so we think this will end 2-10to the hosts. Bordeaux have scored twice in five of their last seven home games, keeping three clean sheets along the way.
This has been the toughest season for Bournemouth since winning promotion to the Premier League," said south-west sports writer Gareth Davies, who has supported the Cherries for 30 years. Howe would be justified to pin the blame for the struggles on an overcrowded treatment room. Because of that, but with survival very much in their hands, you must acknowledge that once again, Howe is conjuring up another Bournemouth miracle.
Turkish Super League match. Team Yeni Malatyaspor will play with team Trabzonspor. Hosts did 1 - 2 - 2 at last 5 matches played. Their shape is not well. Team Trabzonspor are in the top zone. They didn't miss goals at last 3 league matches. Trabzonspor are more stronger team with good quality players. Guests won last 2 h2h matches. I think that today guests will play good and my bet on them with AH -0.25. I recommend to try this bet with me for good odds. Trabzonspor have all players without injuries . I hope for football show in Malatya stadium today .
Deeney had opened the scoring after Tom Heaton made a brilliant save to parry Abdoulaye Doucoure's shot, with the Villa goalkeeper unable to prevent the Watford skipper from firing home the rebound. The home side earned a penalty 10 minutes after Mariappa's dismissal when Deeney was barged off the ball.
Well things are pretty clear here for sure. Opava are at the 15th place and have no chances for saving himself so I expect them to save their strength for the rest of the championship as they will play at the relegation group. Also their coach said that they are going to come out on the field with mixed squad until the end of the season(4 rounds remaining).
That, for me is the sign of someone who had maybe realised he had gone a bit too far in that way. I am sure he had his own frustrations just as the players and people had with him and the things that went on towards the end but I don't expect it to be the Jose we have seen in the last couple of years. Mourinho addressed the media for the first time as Tottenham boss on ThursdayAnalysisNatalie Pirks, BBC SportThis news conference was all about the words "happy" and "humble" - not something you would normally associate with Jose Mourinho.
Meanwhile, Fluminense didn't come into the campaign expecting to struggle anywhere near like CSA but they've hardly fared much better over the course of the year. Indeed, with 5 matches left to run, Flu find themselves occupying the last of the relegation spots and desperately need some results to avoid what would be an embarrassing drop into the second tier.

It is not about what the club wants or not. For me, I want to see my players and the reaction of my players and everything. It is not as simple as I want to extend. I want to see the club, I want to see the players, I want to see how we are still working together. That is the most important thing after five years together.
What is right for Norwich, or clubs further down the pyramid who are going to struggle to survive this crisis, is not necessarily right for the so-called bigger clubs. Despite this, many clubs are doing great things in their local communities right now and they should be applauded for that. On top of that, we have seen the Premier League promise to advance £125m to the English Football League and National League and give £20m towards the NHS.
Nottingham Forest inflicted further damage to Leeds United's promotion hopes and boosted their own ambitions of a return to the Premier League by edging an absorbing end-to-end contest at the City Ground. Sammy Ameobi put the hosts in front before half-time, beating Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla at his near post when the Spaniard had anticipated the shot going towards the opposite corner. And, with Leeds pushing desperately for an equaliser, Tyler Walker tapped home to make it 2-0 deep into stoppage time after being teed up by Joe Lolley on the break.
The hosts have seen plenty of high scoring clashes so far this season, with 73% of their matches here seeing both teams score. Fulham have kept a clean sheet in just 18% of their away trips, so we don’t expect much from the Cottagers defence here. The hosts have found the net in six of their last seven at home, while we expect them to score again in a 3-1 defeat here.
The matches will be played between Friday 24 and Monday 27 January. Sixteen Premier League teams remain in the competition, while Northampton Town, ninth in League Two, are the lowest-ranked side who will definitely be playing in the last 32 and they are at home to Derby County. Carlisle United, 21st in League Two, are the only other side from the fourth tier left in the tournament, although they face a third-round replay at home against Championship side Cardiff City.

Teenager Ansu Fati, who started in a front three with Messi and Griezmann, had two early efforts, one of which resulted in a superb save from Rui Silva. And in the second half Messi's low strike struck the side-netting. Granada spent most of the match defending, but a brief spell after the break saw them go close to scoring when Yan Eteki's firm low strike came off the post. Barcelona's next match is a Copa del Rey quarter-final match at Ibiza on Wednesday.

First up: Unai Emery is edging close to the exit door at Arsenal with the Spaniard coach having reportedly lost the dressing room.
You just need to find that one person that you can vent to," said Scott. My good friend is [Chelsea and England goalkeeper] Carly Telford. She is just a good ear for me where I can just talk and talk and talk and she doesn't have to say anything but I know she is there. On Friday, the Football Association announced the Women's Super League season will not resume until "it is safe and appropriate to do so".
The Catalans missed three big chances in the first half with Madrid taking control after the break, eventually triumphing thanks to goals from Vinicius Junior and Mariano Diaz. Neither Barcelona nor Madrid are close to their best and this scrappy but entertaining Clasico proved it. There were errors galore, proving that the sides are no longer on the top rung of Europe's elite.
Birmingham City boss Pep Clotet has left the club after Wednesday's 3-1 defeat by Swansea City. The Spaniard, 43, was set to leave the Championship side at the end of the season but said it was "mutually agreed" he would step down immediately. Birmingham have not won in 10 league matches and are 17th in the table. Clotet had been assisting previous boss Garry Monk before succeeding him as head coach, initially on an interim basis, in June 2019.

There is a very solid reason why odds in this encounter are actually lower on the under 2.5 goals bet than the over 2.5 goals line and that is the fact that the hosts are the league leaders but only with 10 goals scored in 9 games played by them this season but the reason to their success is them conceding only 3 goals so far and no goal conceded by them so far in their last 4 home games, while when they played away at Ocotal at the start of this season they only drew the game with 0-0 in the end.

Portmore United will host Humble Lions for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. However, both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. They probably want to stay among the top 6 teams at the top of the table. I expect, this will be tough match. Both teams have the potential to fight for the victory. Yeah, the hosts have advantage in this match. Portmore is better team in the last mutual matches. I think, the hosts will try to dominate on the home ground. However, this is a very unpredictable league. I think, Humble Lions will try to provide a strong resistance.
Ceccherini was booked for dissent and Ronaldo again scored with a shot to his left while Dragowski this time went the other way. De Ligt outjumped the Fiorentina defence at a corner for the third and Ceccherini protested again to the referee after the final whistle.

Justin Kluivert was on the scoresheet in Belgium, meanwhile, as Roma booked their place in the last 16 with a 2-1 aggregate win over Gent. In-form Canada striker Jonathan David levelled the tie on aggregate in the 25th minute but Kluivert struck before the half-hour mark and Roma held on to progress.
Desna has enough quality to be scoring 3 goals all by themselves here in this game as once they are going to score the opening goal they should find even more spaces to score goals as they are well capable of winning this game by a couple of goals difference having a record of 6-0-1 on the road so far this season but I cannot find the option of taking Desna to win this game by 2 goals difference here so will have to do with the odds for the over 2.5 goals bet to happen here as odds are quite decent.
With Scotland international Scott McTominay one of United's best performers of the season and both Fred and Nemanja Matic improving as the campaign went along, the midfield area - once a weakness - has become a strength. Any of them would be capable of playing a full season as a regular at Manchester United so it's given me a nice challenge to pick the right ones against the right opponents," said Solskjaer.
However, it slowly began to turn for the striker. First came visiting defender John Egan's second yellow card, after he pulled back Joelinton as he tried to make a beeline towards goal. Comedian Kevin Bridges still could not resist a dig. View more on twitterThe Magpies were now in the ascendancy. Saint-Maximin and Matt Ritchie put the home side 2-0 up. But could Joelinton take advantage of the weary Blades?With the striker now into his 2,130th minute without scoring in the league, he perfectly timed his run into the six-yard area to both meet Almiron's ball and, crucially, find the net with his shot.
That's what he was supposed to do. He wasn't on a charity mission at Tynecastle. Hearts owed him nothing. I don't think anyone represents the club better than me," he added. Berra is a good guy and a fine ambassador, but Stendel needs a lot more than that in the battles ahead. He [Stendel] will say it [the decision to cut him loose] is for football reasons, it's up to him, but you'll never know the truth," the defender added.
