Moyes' first game will be on Wednesday at home to fellow strugglers Bournemouth, and his appointment has had a lukewarm response from fans on social media. The former Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland boss responded to the doubters by saying West Ham were getting one of the most experienced Premier League managers available.
Toulouse have lost three of their last four home games and even though Marseille haven't been great on the road, we're backing the visitors to get the win here. Toulouse have just been so poor at both ends of the pitch and with their last game finishing 3-0 to Montpellier, we don't have a lot of faith in les Violets here.

It took St Mirren 14 minutes to cleave open an advantage, when Ilkay Durmus' delightful, inch-perfect delivery fell for Obika to record his ninth goal of the season. Jamie McGrath stung the palms of Motherwell goalkeeper Mark Gillespie, but it was the hosts who would score next as St Mirren failed to deal with a corner, and Polworth's low drive deceived St Mirren keeper Vaclav Hladky. That was just before the half hour, but the next 13 minutes featured a stunning spell by the visitors, in particular Obika and Watford loanee Alex Jakubiak.
In my eyes he is unbreakable," says Dutch football writer Marcel van der Kraan. He's been through a lot in his life and he then had a difficult start at Ajax, with the fans on his back and confronting him. Marco van Basten [his former coach at Heerenveen] didn't see a great future for him and he let none of that affect him. Twente were on the edge of bankruptcy and as the captain at a young age, he had to appear in front of the press every week and answer questions that should not have been addressed to him but the club's board.

The German striker is 23 years old and definitely has the ability and determination to become a world-class footballer. The only thing which could put Werner off joining Anfield would be the challenge of battling against the best to feature regularly in this Liverpool side. Salah, Mane and Firmino are currently immovable in the Liverpool attack, which could be intimidating for the Bundesliga striker.
Now we know all about what they have become, we know all about the 'noisy neighbour' and they have really done well. This game has grown in magnitude for me. The bragging rights lasts more than Monday morning. We have to speed that up because we have been behind them for too many years. Guardiola added: "From what I saw they follow [Solskjaer] absolutely. They're getting better. Right now is maybe their best moment of the season.
When the tie finished 3-3 and everything came down to penalties, Mohamed was on the touchline praying. And not in the figurative sense that most of us might pray for good fortune during a penalty shoot-out, but he was actually praying using his rosary, because victory would not just have meant Mohamed’s third Apertura title with his third different club, but it also meant fulfulling a promise he made to his son who tragically died in a car accident in 2006.
In the end, it was a valiant performance by the hosts and a good reaction after their poor run. Monk will hope they can now start to pick up in the league. Man of the match Bernardo Silva - (Manchester City) On a night City needed players to dig deep and graft, Silva delivered the ingredients required to overcome gritty opponentsProlific Sergio - the statsSince Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City in August 2016, the Spaniard has overseen 15 victories in FA Cup matches (D1 L2), at least five more wins in the competition than any other manager over this period.
SC Kriens are in a better form than Stade Lausanne Ouchy at this time of the season. Specifically, SC Kriens won the last 5/6 matches at home, won the last 5/8 matches, won the last 4/5 matches, won the last 3/5 matches at home. And Stade Lausanne Ouchy has lost the last 3/5 matches, the last 5/10 matches away, did not win the last 3/5 matches and did not win the last 6/10 matches away. Therefore, SC Kriens will probably enjoy the full joy against Stade Lausanne Ouchy in this confrontation.

Second placed Barca's total of five European Cup and Champions League titles may be modest compared to Real's - but Barcelona won the Cup Winners' Cup four times and the Fairs Cup three times, making them the most prolific winners of both those competitions. Third placed Bayern Munich may have won fewer European Cups than AC Milan (five compared to seven), but in addition to their 12 European finals, the Germans have lost 14 times in semi-finals - agonising for them, but it earns Bayern enough points to edge the Italians into fourth place.
Tottenham have seen their fortunes improve after Jose Mourinho’s arrival but they have failed to match the big boys and go to this game on the back of losses to Manchester United and Bayern Munich. Facing Wolves will however be a lighter task and they will only be worried by their away form. Wolves are unbeaten in the last five home matches in the Premier League and will feel this is a winnable game. Going by the two sides’ performances this season, we expect both to score and we feel a draw will be a good bet on this.
The German thwarted a number of Arsenal opportunities throughout the 90 minutes, leaving Hayes gleaming from the sidelines at performance of her side's resilient backline. Would we have conceded last year? Absolutely. I don't think we would've had it in us," she said. The better team didn't win the game, the most resilient team won the game, I value great defending, and today was a great victory for a gritty, determined performance from the whole collective.

The hosts had a mini-wobble earlier this season, but they have returned to the top two in impressive fashion after an excellent streak of results.

Alisson made his 50th Premier League appearance for Liverpool and kept his 26th clean sheet; among goalkeepers in the competition's history, only Petr Cech (33) and Pepe Reina (28) kept more shutouts in their opening 50 starts than the Brazilian. The goals were exceptional' - what they saidLiverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Match of the Day: "It's obviously good [to go unbeaten for a year] but the target was not to extend this [run], but to win the game.
This is one of the biggest derbies on the world and I hope that will be interesting, like it was the case in last few of them, when mostly United was better, what was big surprise. So, home team will have advantage and reason for that is fact that City will probably not play this match with their strongest team, because in next few days they are playing in Champions League match at home, match against Real Madrid, who they are beat in first duel in Spain, 2-1. Yes, over is very real here and I will bet on that option.
His status as one of the club's highest earners has perhaps contributed to his exile, with English Championship side Preston linked with him in the last window. GLEN KAMARA (24, midfielder, Rangers)Linked with: JuventusThe Finn is an interesting one. Signed by Rangers from Dundee for a nominal fee last January after falling out of favour, the midfielder ends 2019 with reports of interest from Juventus and with Euro 2020 to look forward to with his national team.
Belenenses have only scored 6 goals at home so far this season while Setubal have netted just 4 times on the road, so you can see why we aren’t expecting both teams to score and why we feel this match has a good chance of ending 0-0. The hosts have failed to score in 43% of their home games while Setubal have failed to score in 71% of their away games, with 31% of the visitors league games ending goalless.

The postponement of the Euro 2020 championship for a year, however, has cleared space in the calendar for domestic competitions to finish if the public health situation allows.

Tony Pulis322989313130. Steve Bruce41211711318228. The 56-year-old saved the club from relegation in a six month stint at the helm in 2017-18 and returns with the task of lifting a side languishing in 17th in the standings and a point above the drop zone. Moyes said he had been given a second chance on the back of what he had achieved last time around, when he had been disappointed not to be retained, and could not wait to get started.
Peters started the second match against Mexico and was then a permanent fixture under Ramsey. Peters helped Ramsey implement a system known as the "wingless wonders" after Liverpool's Ian Callaghan, Southampton's Terry Paine and Manchester United's John Connelly all played in the group phase but were left out of the knockout games as England's system reaped the ultimate reward. He once said: "I wasn't a winger.
If you sleep happy, you can sleep four hours and better than sleep sad for eight hours. If you work with happiness and believe in what you are doing it is totally different. Our season isn't there. We started very badly, but things can change and there are still some titles to fight for and some improvements for the future.
We don't want artificial means of deciding who wins the league, who gets into the Champions League, who gets relegated and promoted. Ideally our players would have three or four weeks minimum to prepare for the first match back, but I accept there may have to be a squeeze on that timeframe. It might mean extra restrictions at our place of work .
Jeju Utd were playing a high scoring football in the K League 1 in the previous season. In the regular season they have scored 37 goals in 33 games played but in total have allowed 61 goals and were among the worst in the league so this season they will compete in the K League 2.
He's been patient and his desire to get back has been really big. When I've not played him he's been disappointed but he has to trust us to look after him. I thought we showed a lot of character - not always composure - but the result was more important than the performance. I feel for Norwich because they played pretty well and we've had to fight very hard.

Ancelotti represents Everton's best opportunity to achieve Moshiri's high ambitions - now the Italian will expect him to support his equally ambitious plans. Leeds United are within touching distance of ending their 16-year Premier League exile after a last-gasp victory at Swansea City. Leeds marked the passing of club legend Jack Charlton before kick-off at the Liberty Stadium, then produced a solid, organised performance which leaves them needing just four points from their three remaining fixtures to clinch automatic promotion.

Spurs, with Son Heung-min also absent after surgery on a fractured arm, have struggled to find a focal point in attack recently and opted for a fluid front three of Bergwijn, Alli and Lucas Moura, though it was Aurier who proved their most penetrative threat. It was from the Ivory Coast international's driven cross that Spurs took the lead, as Bergwijn pounced after Alli's initial effort was saved to score his second Tottenham goal since a January move from PSV.
It would be lovely to see the Nigeria international silence his critics, but if it doesn't work out then the already-intense pressure on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ed Woodward will rise.

That is the biggest compliment I can give him. I have been so impressed by this young lad. He's had such a calm head and he's not given the ball away all night. It's been a brilliant evening for him. Former Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison on Radio 5 LiveBilly Gilmour in the middle of the park has been terrific, his all-round game has been fantastic. He has been tenacious in the tackle and went straight in and nailed Fabinho.
The last time they bagged five successive wins was under Claudio Ranieri back in 2015-16, the season that ended with them as, well, you know. Unlike that late-season run four campaigns ago - which comprised four 1-0 wins and a 2-0 success - this current series of victories have come with a mightily impressive aggregate of 17-1. Yes, nine of those goals came in one game at Southampton, but falling just one short of double figures in a Premier League game is hardly to be sniffed at.
It’s not happened before, it happened there and then. He’ll be out for a while. He won’t be back until after the mid-season break. Normally six weeks to heal, but I’m not a doctor, and then he needs rehab after that probably," he told Sky Sports. We're always looking at chances to improve the squad - with Marcus out for a while we have to look at it closely.

It will be a tough ask, as Wolverhampton are currently on a good run and will be more confident after their big win. While they have performed well in Europe, at home things have been tough for Espanyol and they are rock bottom in La Liga, with relegation a real possibility. They have managed just one win in their last seven matches – a 1-0 win over another struggling side, Real Mallorca and they have conceded eight goals in their last three matches.
