We have absolutely no plans to lose anyone in January," Rodgers told reporters. Our job is to keep what we have. If there's an opportunity to improve the squad we will look to do that. If not, we will carry on with the squad we have, which is very strong.

Solskjaer's cause has been helped by what appears to be two particularly smart pieces of recruitment, the lack of which has been the failing at the heart of so many of Manchester United's problems since Ferguson's departure. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, at £45m, looks a superb investment for now and the future. He is another example of England's riches at right-back alongside Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reece James at Chelsea.

What seemed far, now the fifth place is not far. Arsenal, Everton, Sheffield United, Wolves, everyone will feel they have the chance. Aston Villa manager Dean Smith to Sky Sports: "We have to try and take the positives. The last two games we've scored late winners here, so now we know how it feels on the other foot. We had chances to win the game but we weren't clinical enough. They have a front four that can hurt anyone, that's why we had to get forward and defend on the front foot.
At the end of the day I think we deserve it. Even though it was a tough game, we got over the line. Catley struck after 15 minutes with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box which Sydney goalkeeper Aubrey Bledsoe helped into the net in a blunder the American will be keen to forget. Three-times champions Sydney fought their way back into the contest and they had a good shout for a penalty turned down nine minutes before the break when a shot appeared to catch Catley's outstretched arm.
As for Palace, they have their ambitions too; they are nine points below the final Champions League spot and will want to give it a real push with 24 points still available to contest for. Liverpool have had a fair share of unwanted results in the past few matches and the draw with Everton is definitely among such results.
Sheffield United: The Blades will be visiting Dubai during their break, which begins after Sunday's game against Bournemouth. Southampton: Southampton's time off was shortened because of their FA Cup replay at Tottenham on Wednesday, giving them a reduced 10-day break to have a rest and return to training.

Klopp not worried about the coronavirus (ending Liverpool’s title procession) Everyone is worried about the coronavirus, not least the producers of Corona beer who have apparently seen a stupid but depressingly predictable decline in sales due to people who can’t tell the difference between a disease and a beverage just because their names contain some of the same letters.
Barcelona are unbeaten in 10 league matches. Real Betis are unbeaten in their last five league matches. Real Betis have one clean sheet in their last five matches.

Forty four years on to the day, BBC Scotland looks back at the prominent role the ground's square goalposts would play, the match-winning "Bull", and the tale of "glorious failure". The Stones, the Bull and the KaiserThe travelling German contingent boasted some of the best players of all time. Franz Beckenbauer captained the side, while Gerd Muller and Sepp Maier were among his team-mates. As if they needed one, they possessed another deadly weapon in Franz Roth, remembered with a degree of hostility by some Rangers fans as the player who scored the winner against them in the 1967 Cup Winners' Cup final.
victory of Barcelona seems to me an interesting bet considering that we can practically say that the match will be played on a neutral ground as it will be not played with the presence of spectators. Barcelona's dominance over Sevilla is overwhelming since they have won in 13 of the last 15 matches, Sevilla has only been able to get a cup victory and in the league they have barely managed a draw since 2016.
Blackpool got past Luton in a semi-final thriller before beating Exeter at Wembley to win promotion from League TwoNot to be outdone by events in Devon, the Hatters and Tangerines were playing out a classic of their own. Nathan Delfouneso put the Lancashire side in control with the first goal of the night, making it 4-2 on aggregate. But Nathan Jones' men refused to lay down and completely turned the tie on its head thanks to an own goal from Kelvin Mellor and strikes by Scott Cuthbert and Danny Hylton.
In his debut campaign at City, the gap was 15 points to Chelsea. On the first occasion it was the prelude to him quitting the Nou Camp because of the strain of it all. On the second, he spent £200m in a single summer to revolutionise a City team that went on to become the first to reach 100 points in a top-flight English season. And we already know Guardiola is going nowhere this summer. For, although there are a lot of uncertainties around City at the moment, he has already pledged to stay for the final year of his contract.
In this moment, Rad cannot play on good level against Red Star Belgrade and that is the fact. Guests are amazing team who is really the best in this moment in Serbia and this team is not so long ago played two years in a row in even Champions league, what is pretty impressive for them. RAD is team also from Belgrade, but this season they are poor and I think they will surely relegate from league, that is clear. In any case, this will be probably easy job for guests, so I will try that. It is real.
Rod Stewart v The Green BrigadeHoop-on-hoop aggravation started in November when the fans group let off flares in the home Europa League game against Lazio, thereby guaranteeing a Uefa sanction.

this is going to be really good match because we have second and third best teams on the table and it is hard to bet against either of them,Melbourne city because they are very tough team to beat when they are playing at home and Perth glory on the other because they are in fantastic shape and they won 5 games in a row, so I think draw is the most realistic result in my opinion to happen and also none of the teams will be unhappy with that outcome, and the odd is great so I think it worth to risk

These teams play in a lot of high scoring matches but there have been a couple of matches for Rotherham recently where only the single goal was seen. Sometimes what happens when you have 2 very high scoring teams and bad defending teams is that no goals are scored or not many. Everyone would be expecting goals in this match but I think we might not see them as I said before Rotherham still have had 2 matches where only a single goal was scored recently. This could be the same in this match I feel it will not be high scoring

Speculation over a possible link between coronavirus cases in Liverpool and the club's Champions League match with Atletico Madrid last month is an "interesting hypothesis", a scientific adviser to the UK government has said. Some coronavirus deaths in Liverpool have been blamed on the 11 March match at Anfield, which was attended by more than 52,000 people, including 3,000 from Madrid, where a partial lockdown was already in force.
Inessa Kaagman and Hannah Cain - the latter with a sweeping volley - put the game beyond doubt after the break, and ensured a happy return for Everton's ex-Robins boss Willie Kirk. The only negative was an injury to defender Gabby George, who was withdrawn on a stretcher inside the first minute of the game but emerged on crutches to join the full-time celebrations. Rianna Dean's hat-trick - including two from the spot - guided Spurs past spirited second-tier side Coventry United at the Butts Park Arena, after Siri Worm's curling opener had given them the lead, while Lucia Leon also got in on the act.
It said it would first invite written submissions from the two parties while a panel of arbitrators was convened. That would be followed by the hearing, which is held in private unless the parties agree to a public one.

In fact, Ancelotti's breakthrough as a manager, came when he turned an under-achieving Milan side into European champions without a massive overhaul, but by applying sound coaching and tactical principles, getting more out of the team than his predecessor. Just as Turkish coach Fatih Terim had failed to turn Milan into an effective unit, so Portugal's Marco Silva had been unable to craft the individuals at Goodison Park into a side that could compete in the top eight.

That goes without saying in the present situation. However, we are now told we cannot play our remaining home games at Vicarage Road and the familiarity and advantage that brings. This against a backdrop of players who, having seen their lives turned upside down along with the rest of the world, are suddenly expected to perform as if nothing has happened, despite the rest of society probably still facing the kind of restrictions unenforceable on a football pitch.
But for clubs that do operate with integrity and do things by the books, then there is potential for a company like 23 Capital to be involved.
