Asked what his side needed to do, he said: "Work harder, play better, and pray. He added: "We can always do what we can do. But there are other issues we cannot control. We cannot control what a fantastic team like Liverpool have done so far, and there are other issues we cannot control. When asked if those "other issues" refereed to the video assistant referee system (VAR) and City's current injury list, Guardiola said: "You know that.
Huddersfield’s survival fight took a hit on Boxing Day, as they lost a crucial clash with Middlesbrough. The hosts were beaten 1-0 at the Riverside, which has left them only four points clear of the drop. Now the home side are aiming to boost a poor run of form, which has seen them win just twice across their last nine Championship matches.
Paper Round’s view: If the season is not restarted in the coming months then it would likely be impossible to actually complete it in time for next season. Liverpool will of course be most concerned that they do not miss out on recognition for being almost certain champions at this point, but relegation-threatened sides might be wondering if it could help them retain their Premier League places.
That being said, this is a very tight middle section of the table and things can quickly change. A victory at Selhurst Park could move them as high as 13th and leave them just a point adrift of Crystal Palace. It’s still all to play for in this mid-table and relegation battle.
The idea, which involves capping salaries at £6,000-a-week for four months, was put forward at a hastily arranged conference call between the EFL and the 24 second-tier clubs last Friday. However, it is understood there was no agreement, with some clubs questioning why they should agree to effectively default on contracts when they had no immediate financial need, given the current coronavirus shutdown has only lasted three match rounds, covering, at the most, two home games.
Half of Premier League clubs are sponsored by bookmakers and there are concerns about the potential impact on young fans and vulnerable people. The Betting and Gaming Council chair, Brigid Simmonds, told a parliamentary committee on Tuesday that bookmakers are "considering" a voluntary ban on football shirt sponsorship and pitchside advertising, expanding on the whistle-to-whistle ban on television gambling adverts introduced last year.
Asked if he is forthright enough with the club's executive vice-chairman Solskjaer said: "Of course I am. Ask him if I am. Of course we have got open discussions and of course we're open and honest and we talk. We are building towards something and I'm almost getting bored myself talking about this, and the fans will definitely be bored listening to me talk about what we do have as a vision and a plan.
But if De Ligt/De Jong money is offered. The other big player in the market for Van de Beek are Real Madrid, who came close to signing him last summer and as Huijnen points out it’s not as if Ajax are going to say no to a bidding war breaking out. Real Madrid were interested last summer. Van de Beek then signed an improved contract to stop him from leaving (no extension – still until 2022, but more money).
Valencia have sacked manager Albert Celades after only nine months in charge, while the club's sporting director Cesar Sanchez has resigned. Voro Gonzalez has replaced Celades as manager until the end of the season in what is his sixth spell as Valencia's temporary boss. He first took over in 2008 after Ronald Koeman's sacking and helped the La Liga side avoid relegation. Celades was named Valencia boss in September after Marcelino's sacking.
Volos NFC is playing with a current poor form. The home team took 27 points and ranked 12th in the rankings. They won 2 wins, 2 draws and the last 6 losses. In total, the home team brought 7 wins, 6 draws and 13 losses from the beginning of the season so far. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 2-1 Everton: Brendan Rodgers praises VAR after win Leicester's case is helped considerably by having Vardy, who is playing as well as at any time in his career and has now scored 22 Premier League goals since Rodgers arrived as manager in early March - more goals than any of the side's other players. Vardy has scored in six successive league games and has scored 13 in his last 13.
This has been an extremely close fixture in recent years with four draws in the last five meetings. These sides are neck-and-neck on the table so we're expecting another narrow match but we're edging it in favour of the hosts. Their form at Roazhon Park is rarely matched and with Marseille's trend of faltering away from home in the big matches, we're backing the hosts to win 2-1. Rennes have been very good defensively but with Marseille scoring so freely recently, we can see both teams getting on the scoresheet.
There are a lot of clubs and attractive projects for me to take on," Pochettino told Fox Sports in Argentina. FULL STORY 15:40 - Messi has touched down Will it be a wasted trip though? 15:23 - Dann, Cahill out for Palace Crystal Palace defenders Scott Dann and Gary Cahill will miss Tuesday's Premier League match with Bournemouth due to injury, manager Roy Hodgson said on Monday.
He believes banning large-scale gatherings, as many cities have done in China, has had a positive effect on containing the virus. Inter were due to play away to Juventus on Sunday, but the game was postponed on the Saturday. They were then offered the chance to play 24 hours later on Monday - with fans being allowed at the game in Juve's Allianz Stadium - a suggestion which was emphatically rejected by Zhang.

The resilience and effort was brilliant and in the second half we got our fluency back and some of our goals were outstanding. We played some really good football at times," Rodgers, whose side had not scored for three games, said. The intensity is important to how we play and the pressure on the ball was much better.

Gama will against Real FC in match Brasiliense league. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Gamma can make score 12 goals on last 3 match in league. Meanwhile, Real FC on last 3 match in league only can make score is 5 goals. Therefore, I'm sure that both team can make score on this match due to result on last 3 match. Moreover Gama on last 3 match in the home always can make score minimal 2 goals. Meanwhile, Real FC also can make score on last 3 away match minimal 2 goals. Surely this match will have final score more than 2 goals.
After a promising start at Ajax, Dick's knee was left "black and blue and the size of a football" after a Cup Winners' Cup tie against Olympiakos. There were doubts over whether he would recover and, although he did return after the best part of a year, his pace was gone, along with the confidence to go into tackles. Between his failing body and the three-foreigner rule, Dick's opportunities were limited and his Ajax career petered out.
His pace and trickery unsettled champions-elect Liverpool, who were unable to handle him as he took both goals with an assured calmness. The Senegal international has scored five goals and produced three assists in 19 appearances, and he will be crucial in Watford's survival bid once the season resumes. Did you know? Against Liverpool in February, Sarr was directly involved in three goals (two goals, one assist) - the first player to be involved in three Premier League goals against the Reds since Harry Kane in October 2017.

Germany 3 liga and match between Victoria Koln and Zwickau. Last match between Braunschweig and Victoria Koln, where Braunschweig won 4:2, was a great and open match on both sides, and I expect something like that even today since Zwickau plays similar football. Zwickau played 2:2 with Hansa in the last round and before that lost Uerdingen with 4:2. In the first part of the season, Zwickau celebrated at home 4:0, so here Victoria Koln will ask for revenge. Victoria Koln has a goal difference of 48:57 which is an average of 3.8 goals per match while Zwickau has a goal difference of 42:43 which is an average of 3 goals per match. My opinion for this match is over 2.5 goals.
No Arsenal players or staff will be tested for coronavirus after the postponement of Wednesday's Premier League game against Manchester City. The match was cancelled after Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis said he had contracted the virus. Marinakis attended Olympiakos' Europa League tie at Arsenal on 27 February. The BBC understands fewer than five Arsenal players are in self-isolation, having been in contact with Marinakis in the tunnel after that match.
But here come Liverpool again, Robertson dashing by a spent Wan-Bissaka and sending a low cross into the middle as Shaw falls over - of course he does - and all Salah has to do is sweep home. But he somehow miskicks, sending the ball from his left against his right, and De Gea scrambles around the post.
In their 6-2 win over Newcastle last weekend, Perth showed that they are still susceptible to conceding and with Central Coast averaging a goal a game this season we’re predicting that they get on the scoresheet again this week. Perth should run out comfortable winners though and we’re backing a 3-1 win for the away side.
Fans who behave in an "unacceptable" manner towards players, supporters, club employees or referees will face a Premier League-wide ban. At a shareholders' meeting in London on Thursday, the Premier League said anyone banned by a single club will be banned by all 20 clubs. The Cheshire home of Manchester United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward was attacked by a group of fans last month. They chanted that he was "going to die" and a flare was thrown into the garden.

The visitors should look to get forward after scoring twice in three successive games. The Addicks have scored in 82% of their away trips this season, but they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in eight on the road. With Derby averaging over a goal per game at home, we see an open clash between these two. Both teams to score is our pick as Charlton look to extend their three-game unbeaten run.
Buducnost is this season the best team in Montenegro elite league and this team will without any problems win new title here, that is clear. I was watched them and they are this season much better than it is their biggest rival and that is Sutjeska from Niksic. Team is leader on the table and in this round, they will be play against team who is last on the table and they will beat them very easy. In last official match against them, Buducnost was better even 4-0 as a guests, so it is natural that will be same and this time.
this match is probably one to look out for other than the Valencia Madrid match later on. Wolves have proved to be the titans that can consume any monster they humiliated man city so they have the confidence to achieve anything on the other hand is a resilient Leicester city who aim to keep hold of their champions league position. It is obvious both teams will be seeking for a win hence it will be a match to expect fireworks in form of numerous goals. Usual suspects in form of Vardy are to be expected to deliver goals and win this prediction
One of the derby for the Europe in the league, where home side has already been close to the third place, and should not have problem to make it to the Europa league qualification. Cukaricki is in harder position, since they have three points less than TSC, which is the first rival in the Europa position in the league.
We’re expecting the catastrophic defences of both sides to be on show here. Man Utd have seen both teams score in 80% of their home league matches this season, including each of their last seven. Norwich, meanwhile, have returned to scoring form on the road but have kept just one away clean sheet all term. Backing Both Teams to Score looks a very solid option.

Guardiola believes Wolves will be more fatigued for their trip to Anfield after facing his own side less than two days earlier. Paper Round's view: It's difficult to deny that the Christmas fixtures in the Premier League are a farce. It's traditional and it's fun for fans to watch, but it is relentless for the footballers and the staff involved.
When the pair met at this venue, just two weeks ago, the game finished 0-0, before The Gills sneaked ahead in extra-time. Defensively, Steve Evans' men will be hoping for more of the same. If they can once again keep The Black Cats quiet, then they'll fancy themselves to get the win.
Because of the precarious financial position Derby find themselves in, they fear they will be offered lowball fees. Paper Round’s view: Derby County have been teetering on the edge of severe financial distress for quite some time now, and it seems the worst time to be looking for outside investment. Selling Knight and Sibley could be a lifeline, but only if they are in a position to make sure they can raise sizeable funds and hold the line if any clubs try to bargain too hard.
I spent most of the 70s trying to get some international recognition. My first cap was in 1975, then I got another in 1978. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get yourself noticed and I used to complain a bit to [club manager] Sir Alex Ferguson about it. It was a big game. The thing about Wembley in those days was that it was mostly Scotland fans that were there. Where they got the tickets from, who knows.
Here are 10 of what could have been a huge list of his most iconic moments - both good and bad. You can rank them in order at the bottom of the page. Making friends with Vinnie Wimbledon 0-0 Newcastle, 6 February 1988We'll start with the earliest moment on our list - a truly iconic photo that first helped make a young Gascoigne a household name. Hard man Vinnie Jones of Wimbledon had been told to man-mark Gascoigne everywhere he went, such was the then 20-year-old's influence on the Newcastle side.
We can’t see Arsenal keeping a clean sheet though – they have managed just two of those away from home this term, and Bournemouth have found the net in six of their nine Premier League outings at the Vitality Stadium. With the Cherries conceding six goals in their last three home games and Arsenal netting five in their last three away, we think a 2-1 correct score prediction is the best way to go.
