This should be a cracker of a cup tie. Oxford have already beaten West Ham United at home this season and have a good cup record. Newcastle regularly struggle in cup games and a lot will depend on how strong a line-up they field. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager
However, any return to play will only be with the full support of Government and when medical guidance allows," the league said in a statement on Friday. Ex-Bulgaria striker Berbatov, who also played for Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham in the English top flight, said he did not know which decision about completing the season would be the right one, adding "whatever is decided won't be so
Scientists have confirmed it takes an average of five days for symptoms to show. The club said it would refund supporters with tickets and was also contacting other Arsenal staff or guests who shared the directors' box restaurant during the game on 27 February. We understand this will cause inconvenience and cost to fans planning to attend the game but Arsenal, Manchester City and the Premier League have agreed that the short notice of Mr Marinakis' infection means there is no alternative but to take the time to complete a proper assessment of risk," the Premier League said in a
Former Cardiff City midfielder Peter Whittingham has died at the age of 35. Whittingham, one of the Bluebirds' all-time greats, died from a head injury he suffered in a fall. Born in Nuneaton, Whittingham started his career at Aston Villa, where he played over 50 league games and represented England Under-21s. The elegant playmaker joined Cardiff in 2007 and established himself as a club legend with 459 appearances and 98 goals before leaving in
We have to think about the derby and game by game. It's not just the Premier League. We have the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League so we just have to take this rhythm into the next set of fixtures. Liverpool will look to extend that gap back to 11 points over City when hosting Everton

With so much on the line for Ferencvaros, we think they should be pushing from the start to try and get the result they need and we're predicting them to get on the scoresheet. However, Espanyol possess the superior quality across the pitch and this should see them also make the net bulge and we're predicting that both teams will
And things could get worse before they get better. Mason van Greenwood is set for big things in 2020 Manchester United's English striker Mason Greenwood (R) celebrates after scoring their second goal during the English Premier League football match between Manchester United and Newcastle UnitedGetty Images Watching Mason Greenwood lash home a fierce, albeit deflected, shot against Newcastle on Boxing Day, you could have been forgiven for thinking you’d accidentally dropped a mince pie on the remote control and stuck on ‘Premier League Years:
Eight minutes later, the Englishman headed down Justin Kluivert's cross for his fellow centre defender Gianluca Mancini to volley home and he provided another headed assist for Edin Dzeko to add the third in the 66th minute. In between, Nicolo Zaniolo, who scored his first Italy goals in their 9-1 thrashing of Armenia on Monday, had a goal disallowed after the ball went out of play in the buildup and Florian Aye had a consolation effort for Brescia ruled out for
While Liverpool are eight points clear of Leicester City at the top of the standings, Everton are just above the drop zone in 17th and the pressure is on their manager Marco Silva. I have sympathy for him," Klopp said. I know how hard being a manager can be. But I think the last thing Marco needs right now is for me to feel sorry for
Is that fair? It depends on the environment and on the players. Except at the beginning of his career, Ancelotti has always coached top-level teams with a big owners behind them. The latest adventure in Naples, like the one in Munich, ended with bad feelings with the management and with the players, but not for footballing reasons, so they were not
The worrying thing is they don't score goals," former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson told Final Score. The way they set up is probably the way to go with the players they've got. Roy's team try to protect what they've got and then nick goals. He does well with what he's got there, but if you're not scoring you're not going to win games. It's obvious but it's true.

Am I happy with my career? And the answer is yes, I don't have anything else to do or to prove really. Am I content? And my answer was yes. I'm so content with everything I've done and achieved. I think the only thing that kind of got me out of that was that I didn't want an injury to retire me. It was in July 2019 that Fishlock suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and double meniscus tear in her knee playing for Seattle Reign in the United
They have then got to show character because having been beaten 7-0 we didn't want that to happen again, and they did. Second half, we got up the pitch a bit and worked their keeper a couple of times. Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "The first half was outstanding, the fluidity of the team and the chances we created, the attitude, and the overall quality of football and pace we played at was
Kane back in training Fair enough, at least he’s making some positive noises as opposed to every other thing that has seemed to pass his lips over the last few weeks. But the problem here is that it’s quite difficult to inspire your players to go all-out, gung-ho and leave it all out on the field, Any Given Sunday style, when for the last half dozen or so games they’ve been conservative to the point of cowardice, hiding behind their attacking injuries as an excuse for a complete lack of
If they do the same on Thursday, they could use Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho in the same way Marcus Rashford and Daniel James were so effective for United - to exploit the spaces left behind the Liverpool full-backs, and isolate their centre-backs.

And for the Warm-Up, too. Try as we might, we just couldn’t think of a good set-up for the punchline “Son of a Gunn”. Must be something, but can we find it? No. So we’re just going to drop it without context. Ahem: “Son of a Gunn. There we go. You may now laugh. Payet … Payet! Oh come along now,
The influential midfielder sustained the issue in the latter stages of Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16. Hendo, it could have been worse.

It is also probably no coincidence that Leicester's title challenge - admittedly unlikely against an imperious Liverpool side - faded when Ndidi suffered an injury in early January. His return is significant for the Foxes, who beat West Ham 4-1 on his comeback last week to end a three-game winless run, and who face Aston Villa in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday with the tie level at

Bournemouth are in deep trouble and look to be heading back to the Championship. Even a win at Goodison Park might not be good enough to get them out of the bottom three. Their away form is dreadful and they concede far too many goals. Everton were in the relegation zone at one time this season but have improved under Carlo Ancelotti. They will want to get back into the top ten next season though. Home form is good, though they have been drawing too many of late. Go for both teams to score in this
Players do not perform for the audience, approaching the games more like practice matches with fewer theatrics. The lack of crowds also affects how much risk players take. It is a chance for the training champions," Bayern Munich legend Franz Beckenbauer said. He believes those who normally shine in practice and then falter under the pressure of competitive matches can come into their own in this
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saves during the Premier League match against Arsenal FC at Goodison Park on December 21, 2019 in Liverpool, United KingdomGetty Images Arsenal improved after the interval with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forcing a smart save out of Jordan Pickford.

I like the odds for the home win to happen here as the hosts at the start of this season won 2-0 away from home at Sutton which recently has been quite poor in their away games for example losing at 6th league club Billericay in the cup with no less than 4-2, but also losing games in the league on the road, not that they are much better at home as they are a mere relegation candidate this

Reserve League Championship of Belarus. There are Slutsk-Energetik-BSU and so we have teams from 9th place: Slutsk and Gorodeya from 12th place. So Slutsk scored 13 goals in 7 games, which roughly speaking is 2 goals per game, but missed 15 goals, it turns out that Slutsk is quite a fun team and our match will be riding. We turn to Energetik-BSU, the team scored 7 goals in 7 games, that is, 1 goal per game and conceded 11 goals, misses Energetik-BSU more than scores. But since we know how the first team misses and scores, and we know how much the second misses and scores, it makes a logical conclusion that the teams will break through a total of over 3
Things we usually do naturally right we didn't do right. That already made the game pretty tense. We spoke about football things at half time and I really liked the start of the second half. The reaction was good but then we conceded the first goal and not long after that we conceded the second. But it has nothing to do with the games we won before and the games we will win - it was just this one football game and we have to admit we lost to the better
Sporting Covilha and Oliveirense are separated by only 6 points at the table. But this season two teams have almost the same quality of players. I hope that from the very beginning two teams will fight. Perhaps Sporting Covilha will be a bit dominant from the very beginning because it has the support of fans. Oliveirense won't let them easily score a
Another match between two sides that are similar in terms of quality and experience for sure. Both teams are at the playoff zone so far but if they want to stay in there they have to raise up their performance for sure . Chievo are so far at the 8 th position with 42 pts and overall of 10 - 12 - 8 - 36 - 31 while Frosinone are at the 5th position with 48 pts and overall of 13 - 9 - 8 - 33 - 25. I expect one very even and difficult match and precautions to be taken from both sides for sure ...
I'm delighted for him. The result boosts Leicester's Champions League chances, with the 2016 title-winners sitting eight points above fifth-placed Manchester United with nine matches remaining. Reina error increases Villa's problems Pepe Reina was a long way off his line when Harvey Barnes beat him to the ball to score the openerVilla's cup keeper Orjan Nyland played well in their Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City last Sunday and there was some talk that he could keep his place instead of Reina being
It is a situation which has given a somewhat skewed look to Bolton’s statistics and if you just had a glance at the table and saw them with a measly two points, you would be forgiven for thinking they are the league’s whipping boys. However, a 12 point deduction for going into administration and the fact that they have played a few less games than those around them means that they have actually been better than the league table
Serie A relegation battle continues today with this fixture having both teams proven to be generous at the back while also the home team proving that it can also create a nightmare for the opponents defense. Lecce are full of confidence after giving a high flying Napoli a shock defeat at The Studio Sao Paulo while also giving away two goal as a result. The fact they have scored seven goals in their last two games and three against Napoli is enough confidence on their attack to deliver goals against an out of form SPAL who have conceded six goals in their last two games and lost three back to back recent games. Despite losing three consecutive games the away team somehow also finds the net making today's fixture with a high probability of
ac Milan is surely favorite for the win in this match but it is not going to be easy at all for them to beat genoa, genoa is in great form and from last 5 matches they losted only last game versus Lazio and that was with 2-3, still they are in dangerous zone and they will surely be very motivated to defend today and on the other side Milan bad offense is going to have huge problems of scoring, I think Milan can't score more than one goal and on the other side I expect from Milan to save their net, so surely under
