Liverpool - 1st, champions Media playback is not supported on this device Liverpool 5-3 Chelsea: Jurgen Klopp 'couldn't be more proud' after Reds lift trophy In a different class to every other team. The eventual 18-point winning margin did not flatter them. The title, their first for 30 years, was won with seven games to spare and their coronation a formality for months.
City remain angry at how Arsenal have conducted themselves since Sunday. The Gunners failed to mention their interest in the 37-year-old succeeding Unai Emery despite the two teams meeting at the Emirates, but then sent two senior officials to Manchester for a late night meeting with Arteta following the champions' 3-0 win in London. There has still been no call from anyone in a senior position at Arsenal to City, who do not blame Arteta as he has kept manager Pep Guardiola fully informed.
Stoney was speaking after watching her Red Devils side romp to a 4-0 success over Brighton, with Leah Galton netting twice in between goals from Lauren James and Katie Zelem. The result came hot on the heels of their rampant 11-1 victory over Leicester City in the quarter-finals of the Continental League Cup, in which Ella Toone scored five goals.
I have always admired the federation," Wilson said in a statement. There is nothing like harnessing our nation's support behind our women's and men's national teams. Wilson joins the governing body amid a state of flux for professional sport, with the coronavirus pandemic prompting the likely postponement of the upcoming Olympic Games.
Indeed, they are the side to have scored the most away goals against them in the top-flight (11). Barcelona's Arturo Vidal has scored four goals in nine La Liga appearances this season, one more than in 33 La Liga games played the last season. Barcelona's Luis Suárez has scored in three of his four LaLiga games at Butarque (four goals on aggregate).
I think that Salzburg will not have any problems in this matching Austrian league and they will win with at least 4-0 here, maybe even more than that. Salzburg is really the best team in this league but they are not won in last two matches in league. In last round, if I'm not wrong they are after 2-0 at home, won just one point against Admira, 2-2. Wattens is in very problematic and bad form, so home team will win easy. They are in this moment team who is need to win one match after two mistakes, that is real.
I'm also doing a lot of reviews on where we - Birmingham City - should be and where we want to go. I'm doing an online course and learning how to develop myself. I always plan a few days ahead. Dog walks and phone calls to the elderly' Norwich City are cut adrift at the bottom of the Premier LeagueStuart Webber's normal working day is dominated by face-to-face meetings in his role as sporting director at Norwich City, who are bottom of the Premier League table, six points from safety.
The LA Lakers have continued their impressive start to the season and can already start thinking about the postseason play-offs. They can get another win here to go 21-3 for the season. Their opponents have seen their postseason hopes hit of late with three defeats in a row this month. Take the Lakers to win on a -6.5 point handicap.
We were supposed to be starting new pitch work on the 4 May, which would have taken 12 weeks to complete ahead of the new season,” he continued. So if we have a season that potentially starts (again) in May and then starts again in August, we’ll have to get a new pitch in. There are also players that are out of contract in June of this year and also, for most clubs at our level, the season ticket income normally comes in in May and June.
Anthony Martial's shot crept in at the near post six minutes later to calm the Old Trafford jitters and youngster Mason Greenwood thumped home a second before Marcus Rashford's header put the hosts in control. Newcastle hardly helped themselves with some dreadful defending and they gifted Martial a second goal in the 51st minute to make the result a formality.
Also, United should really be looking for a much more experienced player if they are wanting to sign someone who can make a difference in their shoddy defence. Read the full story Pep pens letter to Premier League over festive fixtures Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed he has written a letter to the Premier League to "voice his anger" at the decision to make his team play two matches in less than 48 hours during the festive period.
They three clean sheets in the last five home matches, which is not a bad place to start their recovery. In their last nine matches, Watford have three wins and two losses. They have scored three goals in their last six home matches and will need to really improve on this. They have the least wins in the season – just two and they have scored the least goals in the league as well – 12 but they have two straight wins over Aston Villa in their most recent meetings.
CROSSBAR! Lacazette lines up the free-kick, curls it over the top of the wall, but the ball comes out off the top of the crossbar and behind for a goal kick. GOOOOOAAALLLL!!! Arsenal 1-0 Leeds. Down the other end, Nelson pounces to put Arsenal in front. Against the run of play does not quite cover it.
Expectations among supporters and the media were sky high, with Kerr holding the all-time goalscoring records in both the American and Australian leagues, aged just 26, and having shone with five goals at the 2019 World Cup in France. Despite spurning good opportunities to add to her 148 career league goals in her first competitive game for more than two months, Kerr's energy, intelligent movement and all-round play showed what a world-class addition she will be to England's top flight.
They lead this semi-final tie against cup holders Shakhytor Soligorsk 2-0 after the first leg. That was played on home territory with them scoring in the sixth and 13th minutes to take a commanding lead. They will most likely be disappointed that they didn't extend their lead even further. Brest continue to struggle in the league though and are 14th, just one place above the relegation zone.
They may only need three points by the time they play Liverpool if some of their rivals drop points this week. Chances of top four (from football statisticians Gracenote, A Nielsen Company): 87%4.

It did improve Chelsea but in reality they could not get any worse in a feisty London derby which saw nine players booked. They took complete control of possession and territory after the break, with Lampard's subsequent substitutions also having an impact. Teenager Tariq Lamptey was a lively presence down Chelsea's right flank on his Premier League debut after replacing Fikayo Tomori while Callum Hudson-Odoi did well when he came on for Matteo Kovacic.
Against Crystal Palace he was, once again, Liverpool's biggest threat. He refuses to give any defence a moment's rest. That said, the Senegal international might have had a hat-trick in a game that could have finished 3-3. Instead, Liverpool tightened their grip on that elusive Premier League title - and much of that is down to Mane. Did you know? Sadio Mane has scored more Premier League goals (eight) against Crystal Palace than any other opponent.
Boavista have lost four of their last six matches and had a poor end to 2019, while Famalicao ended the year with a cup win and continue to surprise the pundits, and fans alike, by picking up positive results on a regular basis. Boavista have only won two of their eight home games in the league this season, drawing four times and losing twice, while Famalicao have won three and drawn two of their eight away games.
Berazategui will host Central Cordoba for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Berazategui have advantage at home stadium. However, this will not be an easy task. They are not convincing team. They have two consecutive losses. Also, we have Central Cordoba who's is also not very good team in this campaign. Central Cordoba is also vulnerable team in the last matches. They have two consecutive losses. I think, the visitors have a very difficult task. In any case, they will in this match seek their chance. Also, this will be a very unpredictable league. My pick - Central Cordoba to win.
Football Daily: Euro Leagues: The diva whisperer and the next Klopp'He vanquishes and conquers any fear of the opponent'Ancelotti was regarded as one of the finest Italian midfielders of his generation, winning three Serie A titles, two European Cups and four Coppa Italias in his time at Roma and AC Milan. He went on to manage some of the biggest clubs in Europe's top-five leagues and took the winning mentality with him, lifting league titles in four different countries, three Champions Leagues and a further three domestic cups.
RKC’s matches this season average 3.53 goals while Heerenveen’s games this season average 2.80 goals, but we’re backing four goals to be scored when these two sides clash as neither side has had any trouble finding the back of the net of late. Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 57% of RKC’sand 67% of Heerenveen’s matches this season and we fully believe that over 2.5 goals will be produced this weekend as both teams look confident and concentrate more in attack than they do in defence.

Everton midfielder Fabian Delph gets the chance to meet up with Mikel Arteta again on Sunday, saying he "owes everything" to the new Arsenal manager. Delph spent three years working with Arteta at Manchester City, where the former Everton and Arsenal player was assistant to Pep Guardiola. It was Arteta who persuaded the 30-year-old to stay at City when he was on the brink of quitting, and then switch to the left-back role that eventually brought him two winners' medals in the Premier League.

There is a good reason why the government might want that to happen given in the 2016-17 season alone, the Premier League generated £3. There is an acceptance if a return happens, it is likely to be behind closed doors, as was the case with the new Aussie Rules season which started in Melbourne on Thursday. The belief is that, after what would then be seven weeks without a top-flight game, the country would be ready to watch some high-level sport again and actually benefit from it.
This game is obviously big because of Mourinho being at Tottenham, something he said he’d never ever do to the Chelsea fans when he was managing them. Mourinho’s going to get maybe even worse abuse than when he was at Manchester United and that adds to the game. But that might get everything going for Chelsea and they might go and win that game.
Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois. Bale celebrated Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 by posing for cameras behind a flag that read 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' - a reference to the player's alleged lack of interest in playing for the club and preference for the gold course over the Bernabeu.
He’s one of Africa’s best players, but he doesn't show it here. That's why we can’t support him here. These are just some of the takes from the average fan in the street, shown in the film. He's built homes for his uncles and built a school and hospital in his home municipality. He's clearly a role model. But one thing Mane desperately wants to bring home and has so far not managed, is the Africa Cup of Nations.

Another three points looks very likely when they host Eintracht Frankfurt who are 13th in the Bundesliga. Bayern just carried on where they left off and their away win made it ten wins and a draw from their last 11 fixtures. Their dominance is shown by the fact they have scored 40 goals and conceded just six in those 11 games.
Lyon said earlier that Wednesday's last-16 first leg would go ahead as planned following the "French authorities decision to keep (the game) in its initial configuration". The death toll in the coronavirus outbreak in Italy, Europe's largest so far, rose to seven on Monday as the country shut down much of its wealthy north to curb the spread of the disease.

That's definitely another pull, going there, going to Orlando, choosing to go and play with those players," central midfielder Moore added.
The Rangers are one of the best teams at home this season and have rarely lost a match through the season. They should be able to win or at least draw this home match with how well they are moving the ball and moving the ball into dangerous areas of the ground. This could be a match they score well in after a recent match of theirs played a way did not go to plan. They normally respond well when they lose a match and will come out scoring plenty of goals to make another statement to the Celtic in this
Liverpool are unbeaten in the league this season and hold an eight-point lead at the top after a 3-1 win over champions Manchester City in their last game. Eight of their 28 league goals have come in the first 15 minutes of each half. It's incredible, I think they make a conscious effort each half to go full throttle for the first 15 minutes," Townsend told the Premier League website https://www.
A difficult relationship with Ozil?I've had a lot of conversations with Mesut Ozil. He's a very important player for the team. There are games in which you see Mesut's brilliance, linking with the attack. But also I had to find players around him so he felt comfortable. Also the team needed to feel solid. And when you, little by little, have to build a team that is aggressive, intense, as well as structured for good pressure, we also had to find a space for Mesut as he gives us an important part of the game, which is his brilliant talent.
Chris Wilder's overlapping centre-backs is a novel addition to tactics in the top flightTactics and characterOne of the team's most impressive traits this season has been the character they have shown after falling behind. Sunday was the fifth time they have salvaged a point after trailing in a match. It is their sheer desire and determination that has stood out for me - not to concede, not to be beaten - along with that little bit of confidence their early results have given them," added Brown.
Burnley chairman, Mike Garlick, said: "It's a completely unprecedented situation that we and other Premier League clubs face and which we could not have foreseen in any way only just a few weeks ago. It's now not just about Burnley or any other individual club anymore, it's about the whole football ecosystem from the Premier League downwards and all the other businesses and communities that feed from that ecosystem.
Undeterred, Leverkusen were back level two minutes before halftime as Dortmund failed to clear a corner and Volland struck his second goal of the game.

James Maddison Players do step up [in international tournaments]. I was thrown into the fire, so was David Platt in 1990. One thing we've always lacked when we go into tournaments is creativity so you need as many creative players on the pitch as possible. It may get you through the group to have two holding midfielders but not past the semi-final.
Professional football in England has been suspended until April 30, at the earliest, due to the pandemic with some top-flight clubs putting non-playing staff on leave. Player wages, with some paid many times more per week than the average Briton takes home in a year, have become a hot topic as club staff are furloughed under a government job retention scheme.
Last month, the club received notice of a change in ownership at ESI, something the club called a "positive step" in a statement. A few days later former Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins confirmed he was interested in buying the club, but Nimer has instead accepted the offer from Manchester-based Elliott's group. It is understood Southall has no connection with the new consortium, although he is also based in the north-west.
