And should he end up on the sidelines of the Juventus Stadium, there will of course be fascination concerning his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, given his championing of Lionel Messi. You would not totally rule out Barcelona, given the uncertainty of their current leadership, also making a pitch for Guardiola and despite the extra stress he felt leading his home side, the chance to link up with Messi once more may prove attractive.
The 30-year-old Ighalo, a boyhood United fan, said he had agreed to take a pay cut to ensure his move to Old Trafford until the end of the season went through on transfer deadline day last month. United, who are currently on a winter break, travel to Spain on Saturday to prepare for their next Premier League match at Chelsea on Feb.
Looking at recent form, Rizespor will be the favorites in this clash, and they need to get something from it, to be sure of survival. Fenerbahce have nothing much to play for here and though they will be at home, we don’t expect a dominant display from them. The hosts have not been the best performers in the first half for most of their last 17 matches and with nothing much to gain here, we don’t see them getting motivated for a fast start. On the other hand, there is a prize for Rizespor from this game and we will expect them to be lively from the start; they have not trailed at half time in their last four games and we expect the same here. The only issue for Rizespor though is that they are not the best to bank on when playing away, and that, placed against Fenerbahce’s home form, a good pick would be for this to end in a Half time/Full time draw.
There will be some concern for Dortmund, though, ahead of Tuesday's game, with defender Matts Hummels leaving the field at half-time with a heel problem. Guile and grit from DortmundIt is now two wins from two for Dortmund since German top-flight football returned, with this victory following the impressive one achieved over Schalke last Saturday. Once again, though, it made for eerie watching, with no fans in attendance and every shout from players and support staff audible.
OK, so Manchester City have been under-par this season - but Kevin de Bruyne certainly hasn't. He's enjoying a spectacular year having bounced back from a duo of nasty knee injuries last season. There can really be no genuine dispute that he is the most creative player in Europe. He's leading the assist table in the Premier League with 16, from 23 clear-cut chances created - which is more than even Lionel Messi, who's made 22 goalscoring opportunities.
PENALTY! Lo Celso made the first good pass all day in the Burnley half and Lamela is fouled by a desperate and unnecessary foul by Mee. NO PENALTY! The crowd and Burnley players are up in arms at Davinson Sanchez not being penalised for charging through Wood (and missing the ball), just inside the area.
Deportes Tolima will host Junior for this fixture of the league. I believe, both teams are one of the main favorites of the group A. Junior are in better shape in this campaign. They are currently on the 1st position with 10 points. Visitors have 3 victories in their last 4 matches. In any case, I think, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. I expect, they will try to fighting for the victory. Also, we have Deportes Tolima who's is a very unpredictable team in this campaign. Tolima showed a poor result against weak Cucuta and for me they could lose. My pick - Junior to win.
BATE have finished in the second position in the previous season in Belarus. They have won 22 games from 30 played (goal difference 61-21). Newman have only finished in the 9th place and we should see a similar situation this season also.
It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.

Now he's becoming the head coach permanently. That's a good thing. Hansi knows the mentality of the club, he knows that Bayern is measured by maximum success, and I'm happy that we can now develop our idea of the club and continue a winning culture together with him in the coming years. Lots of sporting arguments The league leaders gave a taste of this winning culture by going 11 unbeaten league games in a row, before the football world came to a standstill.

Slutsk have looked very strong so far this season. They already were undefeated in the 5 friendlies winning 3 of them and in the league they are currently on top of the league with a 3-1-1 record. In the last 3 league games they scored 6 goals.
No players have so far objected to contributing some of their wealth to help their clubs at a time when their finances are in peril. But there is now a perception that the PFA has been too slow to agree action, and by failing to take the initiative have ensured a PR disaster for their members, especially after several clubs furloughed non-playing staff. The PFA needs to look after the interests of less well paid players in Leagues One and Two of course.

It truly is an art form in its own right. After his splenetic fury was unleashed in midweek following the defeat. At home. To Eintracht Frankfurt. In the Europa League. Which had the saving grace of getting Unai Emery sacked, Martin Keown was close to self-combusting again on live TV as he branded Arsenal’s efforts “embarrassing”.
Subs: Lamela 6, Dier N/A KEY MOMENTS 8’ - WIDE! So close from Heung-Min Son! Great hold-up play from Dele Alli before he plays a delightful pass through to Son. The angle is tight, Son goes for the far corner, but drills just wide. OFFSIDE! Lo Celso has the ball in the net but it is ruled out for offside.
This is a decisive game for the 4th place and the last place for the play-offs in the league this season with the hosts being 4th placed with just one point more than the guests but the guests also have a game less played, so even if they draw here by winning their last game would finish on 4th place forcing the hosts from Mumbai City to have to win this home game in order to secure 4th place not relying on other teams to get the result for them.
Last weekend's facile 5-2 home win against Mallorca kept Barca in a share of the lead at the top of the table with arch rivals Real Madrid and Valverde's side will be extremely keen to keep their winning run in tact this Saturday, ahead of next week's all important El Clasico showdown with Los Blancos at Camp Nou.
Weigl, 24, had been a permanent fixture in Dortmund's midfield since his move from 1860 Munich in 2015, making 171 appearances for the club and winning the DFB Pokal in 2016-17 and the German Super Cup earlier this season. Julian approached us with this wish and we agreed – also because of his service to the club," Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said in a statement https://www.
West Ham go to this game on a really poor form, having won just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions. At the time the league was interrupted, they had lost to Arsenal right after beating Southampton 3-1. West Ham have three wins in the last 15 league matches, and have lost 10 of those.
All Premiership clubs are aware, and will have had the full document presented to them by Rangers by Tuesday. Furthermore, the Scottish Football Association and SPFL have both been briefed, and other lower-league outfits have been sounded out. There is also thought to be broad support for the strategic partnerships - an idea initially suggested by Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy. Were the plan to go to a vote, it would need 32 of the 42 clubs to support it.
SubstitutionPosted at 52' Substitution, Hibernian. Martin Boyle replaces Florian Kamberi because of an injury. Posted at 51' Ryan Flynn (St. Mirren) wins a free kick in the defensive half.

It makes me more hungry to come back and do well. Sir Stirling Moss dies aged 90 British motor racing legend Sir Stirling Moss has died at the age of 90, his wife has confirmed. Moss was one of the most iconic figures in British sports in the 1950s and 1960s, winning 16 Formula One races and finishing as the runner-up in the Drivers' Championship on four occasions.
Cagliari go to this game as firm favorites and their advantage will be boosted by playing at home too. They have a great goal scoring record in recent matches, but not defensive. They have scored at least two in four of their last five home matches, while they have managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches. Sampdoria on their part, have scored in seven of the last 10 matches and conceded two or more in five of their last six away matches. Here a good bet can be on Cagliari winning 2-1.
So how has it all gone wrong so quickly?Watford sack Flores after less than three months in chargeSanchez Flores gamble failsWatford's hierarchy, the Pozzo family and chief executive Scott Duxbury, are decisive in managerial matters - whether they are incomings or outgoings. The announcement of the return of Flores on 7 September came just 30 minutes after the confirmation of the sacking of Javi Gracia, who had lost three of the first four Premier League games this season.
I was there (on my sofa) when goalkeeper Dmitry Dudar ran into the opposition box for a free-kick for some reason with Neman drawing 1-1 with Belshina. I was there (on my sofa) when he did it again in the next game and Dinamo Minsk scored into an empty net to make it 2-0. I was there (on my sofa) when we gave those upstarts from Minsk, FC Energetik-BKU, a 3-0 hiding. Belarusian football has been appointment viewing in the Begley householdMy 16-month-old baby - who adopts my teams by default - has probably watched more Neman Grodno matches than Oxford games in his short life so far.
Marseille are the only team in Ligue 1 to have won maximum points in the last four games. Angers have just three goals in their last seven matches.

That's the only thing I ask because I can't ask any more from the players that they're giving, which is everything they have," Mourinho added. The situation couldn't be worse. In some periods I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench, now it's not having attacking options on the pitch.
I wouldn’t exclude anything at this moment. I hope we will never have to get into this direction. I think it will be difficult in any case to make a global ban because the situation (in each country) is really different,” he told reporters. The health of people is much more important than any football game.
After a while, you realise that and stop making the runs. What is the point?"Whereas when I was at Liverpool with Steven Gerrard or Stoke with Charlie Adam, I knew they would be looking for me whenever they could and it kept me on my toes. It is the same with Pogba at United now. You could see the effect his introduction had on the movement of Martial, Rashford and Mason Greenwood on Sunday, because suddenly they were on the move as soon as he got on the ball.
His man-management skill, which brought harmony to a once highly tense dressing room, was one of the main reasons attributed to the club's success under his leadership. However, what often gets overlooked is how tactically flexible Ancelotti made the team. Under Mourinho, Real were the perfect counter-attacking side. Ancelotti wanted to keep utilising that direct style but add more control and unpredictability, making the side more comfortable in possession.
Bielefeld is in perfect form and they claimed the top spot with the 4-0 win against Dresden because the HSV failed again. However, there was no big celebrations, at least nothing has become known, so everyone should be fit here and because of that, Darmstadt shouldn't be hoping to get point here.
As a group of players, we wanted to stand up and do our bit," captain Grant Hanley told the club website (www.

It is dangerous to restart it playing three games a week. So I'm worried about injuries and the hot weather which is going to be terrible in Italy more than Germany. But Udinese and Nigeria defender William Troost-Ekong said: "It's lifted everybody's spirits, As long as we can do it in the right way without too many risks and setting the right example for the country, I think it's a good thing to be doing.
We’re confident that Willem II will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. The hosts are flying in the Eredivisie right now and will be looking forward to the weekends’ clash, while Fortuna Soittard are still without a win on the road and seem unlikely to end that duck on Saturday.
Liverpool had won everything there is to win in the game but never a Premier League title. The Brazilian is to Liverpool what Fernandinho is to Manchester City. They are happiest doing the most difficult jobs and getting the least praise. Like James Milner and Jordan Henderson, he has been a great professional and integral to an amazing season. Did you know? Fabinho celebrated his 41st victory in what was his 50th Premier League appearance - only Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben, Ederson (all 42) and Aymeric Laporte (43) won more of their first 50 games in the competition.

Barca's injuries at the back, options up front Could Martin Braithwaite, who ended the transfer window with Leganes, play in El Clasico?Barcelona will be missing their first choice full-backs, with Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba injured. They will be replaced by the uninspiring duo of Nelson Semedo and Junior Firpo, and there is also a doubt over Gerard Pique after he hurt his ankle during Tuesday's draw at Napoli.
Both rivals were fighting for the title in the first part of the season, along with The Strongest. Bolivar was better for the difference, but now they are far from the leader position and should work hard in the next games to regain top part.
Whereupon he was hustled out of there by a steward. The quietly protesting Renaud appealed to the steward's sense of fair play, his spirit of football. The response was not exactly the stuff of the United Nations. There's no spirit of football! Get out! You're a disgrace!" In that moment, Renaud learned a valuable lesson. Every second football person in this magnificent country is completely off their rocker.
Since Mourinho's first game in charge of the club, no Premier League team have conceded more goals than Spurs across all competitions (14 - joint-most, along with Arsenal). Spurs' Son Heung-min was sent off for the third time in the Premier League, making him the first player to be shown three red cards in a calendar year in the competition since Lee Cattermole in 2010.

They suss you out for the first 15 minutes and they did that against Manchester City. Even though they were not playing well, they found themselves 2-0 up. Townsend said hosts Palace, who sit 12th, would have to play on the counter-attack if they were to have any chance of causing an upset, much like they did in a 2-1 win at Manchester United and 2-2 draw at Arsenal.
