With speculation that he's about to sign a new contract ongoing, the spotlight seems to be shining brighter on Paul Pogba and his performances haven't dimmed in this setting. Instead, he's been flourishing and looks back to his best, as his man-of-the-match display against Aston Villa showed. Danny Ings is worth considering as an anytime scorer due to his away record but we expect United to dominate and Pogba to have more scoring opportunities. Back the midfielder as an anytime selection.
Brazilian Taison, 31, stuck his finger up at a section of the stadium occupied by Dynamo Kiev fans and kicked the ball into the stands after hearing the abuse during Shakhtar's 1-0 win. The player was sent off for the incident and was in tears as he left the pitch. World players' union FIFPro had asked for the red card to be overturned but the Ukrainian football federation has now confirmed the suspension.
In the cavernous spaces of the deserted Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - as the match was played behind closed doors - Fernandes equalised with an emphatic penalty. Spurs survived a last-minute scare as referee Jon Moss pointed to the spot again when Dier collided with Fernandes but the video assistant referee correctly reversed a poor decision. De Gea made a measure of amends with a superb save from Son Heung-min shortly after his error, while Hugo Lloris made a magnificent flying save from Anthony Martial as United chased an equaliser.
Stoke head into this clash having really struggled for results in the new campaign. Their playoff push never started and the Potters remain in the bottom three in the Championship. New boss Michael O’Neill has been trusted to pull them clear of danger, but will his side sink further into despair this weekend?

Michal Koziol: Everyone who said Ighalo wasn't the calibre United need should look at that goal over and over again. The first touch, the control, the power, everything perfect. Such a shame the stadium's empty. Nicholas Mills: Anything about this Ighalo loan spell reminding anyone of Henrik Larsson.
Newcastle United started the festive season off with a bang on Thursday night as they ended Sheffield United’s lengthy unbeaten run in the Premier League, although their 2-0 victory was somewhat overshadowed by yet more VAR controversy. This time, it was the officials that came under fire, rather than the technology itself, although Newcastle won’t mind one bit.
Indeed, the majority of their attacking play against Espanyol flowed through Benzema. So is he the best striker in world football right now? Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski might have something to say about that, but Benzema is in the form of his life. MAN OF THE MATCH - Fede Valverde (Real Madrid) This was another demonstration of why Valverde has become one of the first names on the Real Madrid team sheet this season.
We thought his gait might cause him problems later in his career. Ferguson’s surprising attack on Henderson perhaps resonated with the midfielder as he struggled to make an impact at times in the early stages of his career at Anfield. But it quickly became clear that Henderson’s Liverpool future would be centrally as had always seemed likely, but even with this it was far from an easy fit.
Kilmarnock are to furlough the majority of employees - including players and coaching staff - until the end of May. The club will supplement wages of those on the job retention scheme, which pays 80% of salaries up to £2,500 per month, so that nobody's income is reduced. Manager Alex Dyer and head of football operations James Fowler are among "a small number of employees" who will continue to work from home.
BARCELONA, March 31 (Reuters) - Spain's La Liga could recommence in July without spectators, the head of a major broadcaster has said, adding that the season was likely to be cancelled if a player tested positive for the coronavirus once the campaign had restarted. All organised soccer in Spain has been on hold since March 10 due to the spread of the deadly virus although Jaume Roures, CEO of Spanish multimedia group Mediapro, predicted that matches could resume behind closed doors in three months' time.
Porto coach Sergio Conceicao was eventually forced to substitute Marega in the 72nd minute. We are completely indignant," Conceicao told reporters. They insulted Marega since the warm up. We are all a family here, regardless of our nationality, skin colour, height or the colour of our hair and we all deserve respect.

Who can forget Kevin Keegan's famous on-screen rant as his Newcastle side saw their lead slowly chipped away by Manchester United during the second half of the 1995-96 season?Keegan's swashbuckling Magpies team led the table by 12 points at the start of 1996, but finished the campaign four points behind Manchester United in second.
It's important he gets 100% fit," Hasenhuettl said. Then we also have ill players. Kevin Danso has been out for two days. You see the weather outside is wet and stormy. It's not a big coincidence somebody gets sick from time to time. But we clean our hands every day thousands of times and don't kiss each other, so it's fantastic.
For our correct score prediction, while the visitors have been improving, it is hard to ignore that away record. Scunthorpe have won just once on the road this term and although they average a goal per game, they have lost to nil in a third of their away matches so far. This, combined with the fact that Forest Green average just 0.89 goals per game on home soil and have kept a clean sheet in 56% of their home matches to date, suggests a 1-0 home win is the way to go.
Now they are aiming to close in on the top six, while New Years’ Day brings the perfect opportunity for the Lions. They kick off in the early game – the first of 2020 – which could take them into the top six. Not only that, but they meet a Luton side who are in dire form and in serious relegation danger at the foot of the table.

I will even take the home win by at least 2 goals difference, reasons very simply, both teams prepared for the restart of the season with friendly games against big sides, both played with Sparta Prague, while Dukla lost just 3-2 and 4-1 against them, Jihlava lost 4-1 and 6-0 at Sparta Prague, and Dukla lost only 3-1 at Plzen which even demolished Ceske Budejovice with 4-1 on the road recently in another friendly game while Jihlava played away at Bohemians twice in the same day losing once with 3-0 and a second time with 4-1, so overall the result is Dukla is better prepared for this game which they do play at home even though with no spectators.

The Premier League is set to resume in June but with one enormous difference - no fans will be allowed inside the stadiums. For match-going supporters this creates a dilemma. How can you follow your team and how do you go about recreating the matchday rituals and traditions that are, for some, as much a part of going to a game as the actual football itself?Are you planning online watching parties with friends? Will you be having a virtual trip to the pub before kick-off? How do you intend to discuss the game during and afterwards while lockdown restrictions remain in place? We want to hear what you intend to do on matchdays to get you as close to your tried and tested routines as possible.
The flick, the finish, and the celebration that followed have made it one of the most famous goals in English football history - but it only sews sorrow in Scottish hearts. Paul Gascoigne's spectacular strike, and the sight of his team-mates sprinting to squirt water down his throat, is remembered fondly by England fans for far more than just being the moment that kickstarted Euro 96 for the hosts.
After five days of bitterness, rancour, suspicion and confusion, it was somehow fitting that the SPFL rounded it all off with a valedictory statement on Wednesday that added slapstick to the mix. In announcing that their controversial resolution had now passed and that the lower leagues were thereby over for the season, SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan and chief executive Neil Doncaster thought it a good idea to congratulate the immediate winners from the vote - Dundee United, Raith Rovers and Cove Rangers, all now champions of their respective divisions - without commiserating with the big losers - Partick Thistle and Stranraer, who were now relegated.
Meppen will be hosting Hallescher fc in their game in Germany Bundesliga iii ,the last game of their head to head were favored the visitors with two goals scored but here I back the hosts to take all maximum points. The home team have won their last away game to Viktoria koln fc by three goals to one but before that successful game they have lost their last game at their home soil against Hansa Rostock fc by conceding three goals. The visitors surprised the fans of Waldhof Mannheim fc by defeating them with three goals to nil at their home but the visitors have an away weakness, they are poor on away games and they have nine games since they won away match.
His right-wing cross provided Mexican forward Raul Jimenez with a first-half opportunity to equal Steven Fletcher's club record of 22 Premier League goals and he supplied Pedro Neto with a similar headed chance 14 minutes from the end, but Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka saved superbly from both players.
Borna Barisic will be assessed ahead of kick off at De Kuip after the Croatia left-back picked up a couple of knocks during Sunday's win over Hamilton Academical. What they saidFeyenoord head coach Dick Advocaat: "Rangers are a strong team, with international players in almost every position. With a manager like Steven Gerrard, he was a very famous player and has a big network, he is maybe able to bring in that extra player which they would maybe not have done in the past.
Her innovative approach to menstrual tracking has been hailed as playing a key part in their World Cup triumph last summer. She returned to England in November to work with Neville's coaching staff. We have got someone with a really great experience of working with elite athletes," Neville said. Since the World Cup, I wanted to bring the best possible elite workers within my staff - and I think I have got that with Dawn.
Maidstone and Hampton will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Maidstone this season have the following results: 11W, 9D and 9L. Meanwhile Hampton have 13W, 4D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Bayer Leverkusen will host Schalke this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Both of these teams will be hoping to take all three points from Saturday's fixture. We expect both teams to be high on confidence going into this weekend's game.
In the final third, Stuttgart are undoubtedly one of 2. Bundesliga's most powerful teams, especially at home, where they're averaging 1.71 goals for. They've also created plenty of scoring opportunities, while they're easily the best team in the division when it comes to shots for and touches inside the opposition box. Unfortunately, they've not covered themselves in defensive glory, which is why they're not in the top two. Even at home, Stuttgart have conceded on a regular basis, shipping in six out of seven.
Parma and Lecce will face each other in the upcoming match in the Serie A. Parma this season have the following results: 7W, 4D and 7L. Meanwhile Lecce have 3W, 6D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
In the 'Correct Score' market, a 3-0 win for the hosts appeals. Olmypiacos have scored twice against two very good sides and are now backed to go one better against a weak team that has not only lost two out of two on the road without scoring but that has shipped an abundance of goals.
Arsenal are unbeaten in all competitions during 2020 (P7 W3 D4 L0) since losing 2-1 to Chelsea in their final game of 2019. Burnley's last two Premier League draws at Turf Moor have come on 2 February, drawing 1-1 with Southampton in 2019 and goalless today against Arsenal. Arsenal have won just six of their 25 Premier League games this season (D13 L6), their lowest tally after 25 league games in a season since 1912/13 (one win).
Spurs appeared to be heading for a home defeat in the clash after goals from Shane Long and Danny Ings put the visitors on the brink of victory only for Lucas Moura and Son Heung-min to net late goals. Southampton had the lion's share of the ball and chances and Mourinho has conceded that Ralph Hasenhuttl's men were the superior side but believes his charges' spirit saw them emerge as worthy winners.
The Premier League returns on Wednesday. After a 100-day absence because of the coronavirus pandemic, Aston Villa v Sheffield United will kick off the English top-flight's resumption. It is the first of 92 league games that will be packed into a frantic 40 days before the season concludes on 26 July. Fixtures will be played behind closed doors as one of a host of measures to prevent any further cases of the virus.
I often speak to people who are not out in sport, and ask them, 'What are your fears?' You get a mixture of responses about why they wouldn't chose or won't come out. I'm just hopeful that, as time progress, and especially within football, the culture is slowly changing.

Players and staff had all been quarantining in team hotels all week and are being tested for coronavirus regularly. As they left the buses they wore facemasks on their way into the ground. Other people attending the games, including the media, had their temperatures checked. Fans were banned from matches, with police patrolling to make sure no crowds gathered at the venues. Only 213 people were allowed into the ground - 98 on and around the pitch (like players, coaches and ball boys) and 115 in the stands (such as security, medics and media).

Pedro Neto (Wolverhampton Wanderers) left footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Matt Doherty with a cross. Posted at 83' Attempt missed.

With Harry Kane out injured until at least April, Tottenham are light on attacking options, meaning Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura, both listed as midfielders, are worthy additions for the trip to Watford. Son was a substitute in the FA Cup win over Middlesbrough on Tuesday as Jose Mourinho tried to rest him, while Dele Alli only played the final five minutes of that match. Trying to guess a Pep Guardiola side is a constant struggle for Fantasy Football players as he is able to rotate his Manchester City squad without any impact on the results.
With nine wins out of their last ten games Real comes in this fixture with five back to back wins and a fierce battle for top spot with Barcelona. They are level on points and only lead by a two goal difference. This could not be a good time for the away team to try and salvage even a point as the hosts will be not only playing for the full three points but also to increase a their goal difference. Real will be in full attack mode ready to grab as many opportunities and turn them to goals. I expect a high score in favor of the home team.
The two sides meet at Goodison on Saturday in the 12:30pm kick-off and Ancelotti is poised to join Arteta up in the stands while Ljungberg and Duncan Ferguson take charge in caretaker roles for the final time. Carlo Ancelotti's Everton: Two January transfers, his tactical approach and why Goodison But another big name could be on the way to Goodison too, with reports suggesting that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is keen on reprising the partnership he had with Ancelotti at Paris Saint-Germain, a club where he scored a barely believable 156 goals in 180 appearances.
Copenhagen will take down the away team easily in this game. The away side is having a good winning streak in the last 10 games it played recently. The home side will find it difficult to score against the away team because they will prefer to defend rather than attack to score. Should they make the mistake of tackling they will concede a lot of goals from the away side. Copenhagen will win this game with a 0-2 or 0-1. This will give a 3 point to the away side to increase it's gap from the rest of the teams. Hence it will strike hard to win.
Gambia coach Tom Saintfiet has already suggested this week that the qualifiers should be postponed to June, as, while the spread of the coronavirus on the African continent has so far been slow, a number of players from hard-hit nations such as Italy, France, Spain and Germany will be asked to travel.
The Portuguese attacker - a mid-season signing from Sporting Lisbon in a deal that could eventually be worth around £68m - has provided the missing link for this Manchester United side. He has built a bridge between midfield and a talented attacking array of strikers with his talent and his positive style, looking forward every time he receives possession. Fernandes was not at his best here but he was the man who unlocked Leicester's defence as Martial won the crucial penalty, then performed his usual hop, skip and jump to send Schmeichel the wrong way and ease any lingering United nerves.
But Martinez feels the Belgian approach will not work elsewhere. The decision was to finish the campaign was because everyone accepted that, after 29 games, if you are first you deserve to win and if you are bottom you deserve to be relegated," he told BBC Sport Wales. Other competitions, if they don't finish they will have to give the money back from TV rights and that would be catastrophic. Martinez, 46, played for and managed both Swansea City and Wigan Athletic before a three-year spell in charge at Everton.

The Clarets go to this game having established a great run – unbeaten in seven matches, with four wins therein and after their 2-0 win over Norwich in their last match, they can only hope for a strong finish at home. Despite playing with a depleted squad in the last few matches, the team has lost just once in the last 15 matches – a 5-0 reverse away to Manchester City in their first match after football returned.
