These were two middle of the league table clubs in the second league level last season, and I watched on opening round the game played by Suwon at home against Daejeon in which they played well the first part of the game taking the lead 1-0, and having chances to make it 2-0 but ended the first half just 1-1, and late in the game via the video assistant they conceded a shocking late goal to lose 2-1 the game but I was happy as my bet was on over 2.5 goals there, barely won though. Reason why I will stick to just over 2 goals this time.
It added that professional football represented 1. Spain's GDP and was responsible for around 185,000 jobs. Champions and current leaders Barcelona became the first Spanish top-flight club to give details of a pay cut when it announced a 70% reduction in player wages on Monday, with the first team squad taking an additional pay cut to ensure non-playing staff continued to earn their full salaries.
Notoriously everyone knows how difficult it is to go to Burnley so we know we have to be much better than we were last week to have any chance of getting a result," the Northern Irish coach added. Sean's teams have always got great resilience, they play good football so it's a game that's a real test but it's a game that we look forward to.
Everton will need a "perfect performance" to beat Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, says their manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Toffees have not beaten the Reds since 2010 - and have not won at Anfield since September 1999. However, Ancelotti guided Napoli to a 2-0 Champions League win over Jurgen Klopp's side in September, one of only two defeats for Liverpool this season. To beat them your game has to be complete," said the Italian, 60.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared for the "circus" that will accompany Jose Mourinho's return to the Premier League. Eleven months after being sacked by United, Mourinho returns to the dugout at the London Stadium on Saturday when his new Tottenham side play West Ham. Spurs limited access to Mourinho's first news conference on Thursday and turned away scores of journalists.
As of April 4, 440 cases and five deaths were recorded in Belarus, and the numbers have not been enough to persuade President Alexander Lukashenko into implementing restrictions or halting sport. Lukashenko has even urged civilians to drink vodka and visit saunas to prevent catching the virus, and so it was no surprise to see the third matchweek of the Belarusian Premier League take place over the weekend.
Cincinnati had a losing start to the season, but gave a good account against New York RB. It is bound to be tougher against Atlanta United as Cincinnati travel for the second straight game. They have not been very strong in defence, as seen from their last three matches (including preseason friendly matches). They have however been scoring and we feel they will have enough to trouble the home side’s defence. Cincinnati have not had a good run in MLS and here we are predicting a 3-1 win for Atlanta United.
Newcastle have conceded more away goals than any other team in the league this season (28). Palace are without a clean sheet in 10 league matches, the longest current run in the competition. Sheffield United v Brighton & Hove Albion *This will be first time Sheffield United host Brighton for a top-flight match.
He is an exceptional leader and has had an exceptional season. Philip Neville: Kevin de Bruyne (4)De Bruyne has been the standout player with his passing range with both feet, and his vision - he has the ability in the final third to see and play the killer pass. Then you look at his assists and goals. Joleon Lescott: Sadio Mane (3)Sticking with my theory that the the winner of the best player award should play for the title-winning team I would say Mane.
Getafe earned a 1-0 win away to Eibar earlier on Sunday thanks to a second-half strike from Angel Rodriguez, taking them fifth in the standings on 27 points, level with fourth-placed Sociedad after 16 games. Athletic Bilbao are sixth on 26 points after losing 3-2 at Real Betis, while Atletico Madrid slipped to seventh on 26, having drawn 0-0 at Villarreal on Friday.
January has always been difficult. It's not something you do just like that. I am happy with the ones I have here. Solskjaer has previously said that Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo would not be leaving Old Trafford this month but Young has moved to Inter Milan, while Rojo has gone on loan to former club Estudiantes in his native Argentina. Asked about King's link with United and whether the 28-year-old could move before Friday's 23:00 GMT deadline, Howe said: "I am not going to deny anything you have read.
What they do have is unlimited resources and the power that ensures. And Pep Guardiola. And now both of these pillars of their status have been left at risk by UEFA’s extraordinary decision to ban the club from the Champions League for two seasons and fine them €30 million. A decision which is unprecedented in its severity, and, to some extent, bravery.
We have a fantastic team but for one reason or another we haven't been able to get those trophies. It's a hard thing to take as a player, as a person. I want to win in everything I do. When we come close and don't quite get there, it's hard to take and it starts to build up. Of course I want to win trophies, I want to be doing it sooner rather than later.
But teams are always most vulnerable just after scoring, and a lapse in concentration by Pablo Fornals played Dwight Gayle onside in the build-up to Shelvey's equaliser just moments later. West Ham have now lost 24 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, more than any other side, but on recent evidence they should have enough to remain in the division. Below par Saint-Maximin under the spotlight Media playback is not supported on this device Newcastle 'enjoying freedom' of new system - Bruce Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six Premier League matches and quietly going about their business under Steve Bruce, with a top 10 finish in their sights.
Meanwhile, Paderborn have also contested plenty of open, high scoring games throughout this campaign. There have been over 3.5 goals scored in six of their Bundesliga games this season, including both of their most recent two Bundesliga games. They have failed to score in just three of their 13 Bundesliga fixtures.

Son flew to South Korea for personal reasons, while Bergwijn returned to the Netherlands ahead of the birth of his child. Tottenham said both forwards will continue their individual rehabilitation and training programmes during their time away. Bergwijn is recovering from an ankle injury picked up against Burnley earlier this month, while Son sustained a broken arm last month.
On top of that, Kilmarnock's away form has been notably poor this season. Kilmarnock have won just two of their nine Scottish Premiership away games this season, losing six. No Scottish Premiership team have scored fewer away goals than Kilmarnock. They have scored just six in nine Scottish Premiership away games.
Like Derby, Millwall, after flirting with the top six in recent seasons, didn't get off to a great start under long-serving manager Neil Harris, but they've since turned things around after a managerial switch-up.
At present it is hard to see any team beating Liverpool. We are only halfway through the campaign and already Arsenal’s record of being the only top-flight team to go unbeaten in a 38-game season seems under threat. If they do achieve this fantastic feat while having the honour of being reigning world and European champions, they will surely deserve the title of being the best team in the history of English football.

It has now been confirmed - in line with regulations - Wigan will incur a 12-point deduction at the end of the season for entering administration. The sanction only comes into force after the campaign is over because, had Wigan finished in the bottom three anyway, it would be carried over to 2020-21. This would move Wigan from 13th to 22nd, above Barnsley on goal difference. It would mean Luton are out of the bottom three and Birmingham and Middlesbrough are safe.

Salford City come into this weekend’s clash not only looking for revenge at the pumping they got when the sides met earlier in the season, but also to put an end to their poor run of form of late. The Ammies have lost in each of their last three league matches and although they currently hold a comfortable mid-table place, the ambitious club will know that they had much greater expectations at the start of the season.
His namesake Callum then forced Pascal Gross to bundle the ball into his own net from a corner five minutes later. Wilson then finally got on the scoresheet for the first time in more than three months in the Premier League when he rounded the keeper in the second half to score his first goal since Sept.
Only two other teams have gone a year unbeaten in the Premier League -- Arsenal's so-called invincibles in 2003-04 (a run of 49 Premier League games) and Chelsea (40 matches) from October 2004 to November 2005. Since that City defeat, Liverpool have won 32 of their 37 league matches, averaging 2. They are 13 points clear of Leicester City having played a game less and those desperately seeking a chink in Liverpool's armour appear to wasting their time.
Everton is coming into this one with great morale after winning 3-1 at home against a usually decent side but yesterday Chelsea even lost at home once more to a weak side, Bournemouth with just 1-0 so not so sure what to make of that result this while Everton lost 5-2 at city rivals Liverpool two rounds ago and while it was a good performance to score twice against Liverpool it was not a great defensive effort, and they do have problems in defense this season conceding 28 goals in just 16 games but also scoring 19 times.
But who would you go for? Pick your Team of the WeekPick your XI from our list and share with your friends. Select formationConfirm teamThe Crooks of the Matter When I saw the picture of England forward Raheem Sterling with a Real Madrid shirt draped over one shoulder and a Manchester City shirt draped over the other on the front cover of a Spanish publication, I immediately thought 'here is a genuine situation where there is no smoke without fire'.
They enter the game off the back of an assured 2-0 win at Lille. Despite having the best home record in the division, Lille were comprehensively beaten. For what good is the best home record when your opponents have Neymar? Not very good this time, the Brazilian forward scoring both goals. It was the latest MOTM performance in a campaign that has reminded everyone why he's still the top dog in the division.
The introduction of the £55m midfielder, who has been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer, and forward Son Heung-min did lead to more urgency but Bournemouth were rarely troubled. Mourinho will no doubt be happy with recording a second successive clean sheet, especially without suspended centre-back Eric Dier, but Spurs' lack of attacking inventiveness will be worrying. Man of the match - Nathan Ake (Bournemouth) Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake did a god job of keeping Tottenham quiet - making five clearances and three blocks.
English FA Cup. Crystal Palace will play at home with team Derby County. Hosts did 1 - 3 - 1 in the last 5 matches played. Their shape is not bad. They are in the middle of the table ( Premier League ) .
a tough game coming up where we see Lyon travel to take on Zenit (St Petersburg) with both teams really needing a win but for different reasons-Zenit to win would put them in final 16 of Champions League however a win for Lyon in the French Group G will put them ahead on head to head record-In a close encounter and much at stake we see this game at 1-1 DRAW with both teams restricting there play to steal a win. Lyon under Rudi Garcia have secured 4 wins from there last 5 matches as where Russian Giants Zenit have been far from the Giants losing at home in a game they were expected to win- this game will be too close hence the Draw bet.
Media playback is not supported on this device How can fallen giants AC Milan return to greatness? According to an opinion from the authority to the Milan municipality which owns the site, the arena does not have any architectural significance that would prevent its demolition. The San Siro has undergone several redevelopments and only a small remnant of the oldest part of the stadium remains. City representatives, including Milan's mayor Giuseppe Sala, had repeatedly questioned plans to completely demolish the San Siro and the clubs have modified initial projects which would have seen the entire stadium destroyed.
When last in action at this venue, Girona were beaten, but we shouldn't read too much into that. Prior to that defeat, they'd won three on the bounce at home, beating a top six side in the process. They'll fancy themselves to do the business against an Extremadura side that is no stranger to struggling on the road.
A major problem for the hosts has seen their rotating home venues. With their natural home in Bergamo going under work to bring it up to UEFA code, Atalanta have had four home grounds since the end of last season. They are playing Champions League games at San Siro, while they need to build up momentum at home.
Very little happened during the remainder of the game, with a draw an adequate result for both sides. But City who fancy themselves potential champions, will need to do a lot better than this when the knockout stages begin. TALKING POINT Have City lost a step? I'm sure they'll still hand out some hidings, and were they to pull it off they'd not be the first good team to win the European Cup once past their best, but City don't look like what they once did: their passing is slower, their pressing is sporadic and the movement is less sharp.
They started well but lost control of the game when Pukki stunned them in the first half, and not for the firsdt time, their soft centre was exposed as David Luiz and Mustafi struggled to make a claim to be the regular defensive partnership. Leno saved their blushes on several occasions. MAN OF THE MATCH – Todd Cantwell (Norwich) While Hernandez was excellent throughout, helping his side ease the early pressure in the first half, Cantwell grew into the game.

Inter have home advantage in the first leg of this Italian Cup semi-final so will be all out to get a lead. They remain in top form and just keep on strengthening their squad. Home form is strong and they are unbeaten in ten games. Since October, their only two losses have been in the Champions League. Napoli have had a disappointing season and lost to Lecce at the weekend. Inter can be backed to get a win here.
Varazdin played a goalless draw vs Rijeka at the previous matchday. It was a good result for Varazdin, which team stands in the relegation playoff position at the moment and great success for Hajduk, because they step to second place, which mean Champions League qualifiers. Many rounds to go, but just copy the Rijeka results in the next weeks.

On 30 June, more than 1,400 players were expected to become unemployed - 1,060 in the English Football League and about 400 in the Premier League, according to the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA).
