United previously held off making a bid for Dembele due to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas' high asking price, with the reported fee for a deal this summer being a whopping £84 million. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side face a battle with Premier League rivals Chelsea for Dembele's signature, but the former Fulham and Celtic striker is said to have his eyes on a move to Manchester.
Two teams will met here, after long break in their first league match for this part of the competition. They knew to have some high scoring duels in the recent season, and a lot of goals on their games there. At this moment, both of them are trying to get closer to the playoff, and should not rush in this match with the huge importance.
Chris Wilder’s team eventually responded, with Billy Sharp scrambling home a goal to bring the scores level in injury time at the end of the first half. John Lundstram, on as a second half substitute, settled the match six minutes from time with a smart two-touch finish. The victory moves Sheffield United up to fifth place in the Premier League, just two points behind Chelsea and the Champions League qualifying places.
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," Burnley chairman Mike Garlick said. 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.
This is a critical time for our country and our NHS, and we are determined to help in any way we can. We can confirm that after extensive conversations between a huge number of players from all Premier League clubs we have created our own collective player initiative, #PlayersTogether, and have partnered with NHS Charities Together (NHSCT) in order to assist them in generating and distributing funds quickly and efficiently to where they are needed most.

Leverkusen started the season great with two wins on the road versus Werder 1-4 and Borussia moenchengladbach with 1-3 but then surprisingly losted from Wolfsburg at home with 1-4 so it is very important for them to be able to win tomorrow versus Freiburg but that is not going to be easy cause Freiburg is very tough team to beat especially when they are playing at home so despite previous results of both teams I do not expect a lot of goals in this one and I Think it will be scored maximum two goals so who wants to follow good luck!
They have qualities, characteristics, that are different to all those teams we have admired: they’re much more direct, much more intense, have much more variety. I feel a great admiration for them. Oh. Still, the other game should be a rasper, as the combined attacking talents of Kylian Mbappe, Jadon Sancho, Neymar, Mauro Icardi, Erling Haaland, Thorgan Hazard and Angel di Maria meet to face defences who, to say the least, have not exactly been watertight in recent times.
There are signs, despite the blip before the winter break, that Real Madrid are building momentum and are becoming a quintessential Zidane team again. MAN OF THE MATCH - Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid) After a shaky start to his Real Madrid career, Courtois has finally found a good vein of form and this was arguably his best display to date for the club.
We are deeply concerned for the well-being of the players who are subjected to this type of hurtful discrimination. It said neither the existing three-step protocol for dealing with racist incidents in matches nor sanctions such as fines and partial stadium closures had worked. The large number of recent cases of discrimination show that football's general anti-racism protocol is insufficiently applied and does not achieve its objectives," it said.
Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has lost more matches in all competitions against Arsenal than he has versus any other side during his managerial career (21). Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette's 33 Premier League goals have been scored in home games, including each of his last nine. Of all Arsenal players to have scored at least 15 goals in the competition, Lacazette has scored the highest ratio in home games (79%).
Arsenal sack Emery Reaction to Emery's sackingIs it all Emery's fault?Emery must take much of the responsibility but he was operating at a club that looks like it is suffering from terminal inertia under owner Stan Kroenke. Kroenke is almost an absentee owner, seemingly unwilling to invest the sums needed to compete with others chasing the big prizes, although his son Josh has communicated with supporters and addressed concerns.
Representatives of the league's 12 clubs met to discuss plans for the new season, which was halted ahead of its original Feb. But, with officials still unable to decide when to kick off the next edition, the league remains in limbo. Given the unsettled COVID-19 situation, the representatives from the 12 clubs agreed that it is still difficult to finalise the start date of the season," K-League spokesman Lee Jong-kwoun said, referring to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.
Valerenga finished tenth last season and the team had a very good start to the new season as they had a 1-0 win in Sarpsborg at the beginning of the season. Stabaek finished eighth last season with 6 points less, the season opener was somewhat downplayed with a 0-0 in the home game against Mjondalen, but here I expect some goals, even if some contradictions are won. Stabaek are need point after ahead of the trip to Oslo, meaning that they are eager to grab something from the match. Given Valerenga’s poor form, share of spoils is on the cards. I think it will be a cagey and tough affair.
This is going to be one very interesting match between two side that are going to fight for the top and most certainly will finish at the upper part. Both teams are somewhere near here when it comes to quality but I'm sticking here with the Steelers. Even though Gangwon started a little bit better their defense is just very shaky at the moment. I mean after 7 round they are at the 3rd position with 11 points but their goal difference is 9 - 10. Pohang on the other hand after a bad start, started to uplift their performances lately and they are playing great. They have collected 10 pts so far and with the problems Gangwon is having at the back they should take the upper hand here most certainly.

Feyenoord are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions and Zwolle have lost three of their last five matches in league and cup. Over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Feyenoord’s last five matches as well as in each of Zwolle’s last six matches, and the hosts have won three and only lost one of their seven home games this season while the visitors have lost six and only won one of their seven away games.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of the hosts. Pacos Ferreira have improved at home in recent weeks while Setubal still are still searching for their first away victory of the campaign. The hosts head into this match as the slight form favourites and boast an excellent head to head record against their guests, while Vitoria Setubal have failed to score in three of their last six outings and have only netted once on the road all season.
Barnes scored from the penalty spot with eight minutes left after VAR deemed Jose Holebas had fouled the Burnley forward. James Tarkowski put the gloss on Burnley's victory late on, forcing home a rebound after his first effort had been well saved by Ben Foster. Watford are yet to win at home in the Premier League this season and their lack of confidence in front of goal was summed up by another toothless display.

Barcelona will hope not to follow in the footsteps of the Spanish giants they share their name with. They lost a big lead to Liverpool last season in the Champions League but it's looking unlikely that will happen for this Ecuadorian side. They dominated the first leg of this Copa Libertadores tie against a side that often struggles on its travels. This won't be so easy for Barcelona and they could well make a few changes to their line-up with such a big lead in hand. A bet on over 2.5 goals is the safest one to make.

The Catalans are top of La Liga and also lead Group F, which also contains Inter Milan and Slavia Prague, but have produced a series of underwhelming displays recently which have brought serious criticism. Their last Champions League match was a dire goalless draw at home to Slavia Prague, while they needed a freak, late goal from Arturo Vidal to overcome La Liga's basement club Leganes 2-1 last weekend.
Duisburg and Wurzburger Kickers will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Duisburg this season have the following results: 16W, 6D and 9L. Meanwhile Wurzburger Kickers have 15W, 5D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
On the face of it, Sheffield United have slumped, but when we consider the fixture list and look beyond result, Chris Wilder's men remain a strong side. Not too many teams will go to the Etihad and restrict the hosts to just two goals, while losing 2-0 at Anfield is nothing to be ashamed of at present. Prior to facing those two giants, The Blades were ticking along nicely. They were unbeaten in four, scoring six and conceding just two.
MANCHESTER, England, March 8 (Reuters) - There was no shortage of reasons for Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be smiling after Sunday's 2-0 derby win over Manchester City at Old Trafford -- and smile he did. The victory over the champions completed United's first home and away Premier League double over City in a decade, moved Solskjaer's side up to fifth and extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 games.
Roma, along with Inter's rivals AC Milan, announced later on Thursday they will not work with Corriere dello Sport until January. A joint statement released at the same time by Roma and AC Milan said: "We have decided to ban Corriere dello Sport from our training facilities for the rest of the year and our players will not carry out any media activities with the newspaper during this period. Both clubs are aware the actual newspaper article associated with the 'Black Friday' headline did portray an anti-racist message and for this reason we have only banned Corriere dello Sport until January.
Newcastle Jets looked to have turned a corner a few weeks ago when they picked up consecutive wins over Western United and Western Sydney Wanderers but they’ve since lost two in a row and fallen to second bottom as Ernie Merrick looks to turn things around.
We have seen our income literally disappear overnight," added Barber. Tottenham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich have opted to utilise the government's job retention scheme. Players, coaches and executive staff at Norwich have donated £200,000, made up of a percentage of their salaries, to help local people affected by the pandemic. Players at Championship leaders Leeds United have already volunteered to take a wage deferral while Birmingham City players who earn more than £6,000 a week have been asked to take a 50% cut for the next four months.
But they are really icons. What Bill and Bob did is just incredible and in very difficult times - people had nothing and they lifted and built this city. Kenny was player-manager - it's unbelievable, I don't think there is any story that can compare with that, just incredible. Since we use our history in the right manner, since we don't compare any more, since we are just happy about it, build on it, since then we can do what we do now.
Like Ferguson before him, Klopp has to deal with accusations of luck, but it is a factor the German welcomes, aware that fortune in a stadium on a Saturday is improved by what is done on the training ground through the week. And he has an ally on this front in Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who has more reason than most to be irked by Liverpool's repeated late interventions. My son and my daughter, all the time when they [Liverpool] win in the last minutes, ask me how lucky, how lucky they are," said the Spaniard recently.
