Adana Demirspor is ranked 7th on the list with 42 points. Teachers and coach Cüneyt Dumlupınar can still compete for a promotion ticket. So they need to play well for the rest of the season to nurture that goal. Osmanlıspor's visit in the 28th round is not a difficult challenge for Adana Demirspor. With the home team in bad shape, it is unlikely that the visitors will win very hard. Looking at the Asian rafters in the previous confrontations between the two teams, Adana Demirspor is highly appreciated when accepting more than 1 goal at home. And Osmanlispor only evaluate the bargain to lose with home advantage. But the important thing this fulcrum helped them get the victory.
Getty Images News reaches us from Holland that after more than two years in a coma, Abdelhak ‘Appie’ Nouri is now awake and able to watch football. Nouri collapsed during a friendly between Ajax and Werder Bremen in July 2017 and suffered severe brain damage. But he has now woken and with his limited ability to communicate, has shown he is enjoying watching football.
The visitors should follow up on their favourites’ tag, with Samp losing three of their last four. They did win their last game, but their 1-0 win over city rivals Genoa was a draining affair, given the toll it takes on the players and the intensity of that derby. Both Lazio and Inter have won comfortably here this term, each scoring three times against Samp.
If we have ambitions in the Champions League we have to show it in Salzburg," Klopp said. Until then we have to show our ambitions in the Premier League. Liverpool can still go through with a defeat in that game, but would be reliant on Napoli losing at home to Genk, who only have one point from five games. Red Bull Salzburg win at Genk in Group EWho needs what to reach the knockout stage?'A season-defining period'The next few weeks are arguably the biggest in Liverpool's season.
That could result in a windfall for the unheralded league. Bermudez stressed that the 10-team league has not decided to complete their season, merely "to keep playing for as long as the situation permits. There are five regular season matches to play before the top four teams go into a semi-final and final round play-off expected to begin in late April.
Now the availability of players and the new budget is really uncertain. Perhaps it's a good moment for our analysis to be deeper, more concrete, and then at the next step we have all the subjects (targets) and can make better decisions (on signings). If I had a player with the option to buy now, because I expected the season to be finished, and one team uses that date to sell the player for more money to another team, it wouldn't look good, to use one big problem and benefit.

During the call, Premier League captains discussed wage deferrals or cuts, or a move to help fund a charitable cause. They also discussed ongoing talks involving the Professional Footballers' Association, the players' union. It is understood players are in advanced talks to set up a collective fund which will offer a "seriously significant" amount, with the NHS the likely beneficiary. It is not yet known how much will be contributed or if a flat amount from each club will be put forward.
They were joined by midfielder Ross Barkley and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga who have recently languished on the sidelines after struggling to live up to their big-money moves to Chelsea. Giroud, standing in for injured first-choice striker Tammy Abraham, scored Chelsea's fourth goal while Barkley provided passes for two other strikes.
There are 4 round until the end of the season and it looks like Greuther Furth are going to survive and really I expect the pressure here to be on hosts. Furth are also in very bad shape with only 1 won at the last 9 games and their performances are very bad this season. Dresden on the other hand are in must-win situation. They are at the bottom but still with very good chances for surviving as they also have two matches less than their opponents.Also they are in great shape with 3 wins at the last 5 games against much tougher opponents
But the last time they won at the Etihad, in December, they followed that result up by drawing with Everton and losing to Watford, so the question is which United team will turn up this weekend?We just don't know and, as a manager, that must drive Solskjaer crazy. United's struggles for consistency mean there is a lot of pressure on new signing Bruno Fernandes, who is expected to improve them in midfield once his deal from Sporting Lisbon is done, but it is a big ask for him to make an immediate impact.
After months of speculation - and a slightly premature deal for the FA Women's Super League to be broadcast in Australia - she signed on the dotted line for Emma Hayes's Chelsea, and will be heading to England in the New Year. The Netherlands' Vivianne Miedema had herself a pretty good year as well. Leading the line, she helped her country to the World Cup final; and she fired her club Arsenal to their first WSL title in seven years, finishing the season as the league's top scorer with 22 goals.

That wasn't always the case, however.
It has been reported that Williams told Athletic captain Iker Muniain about the abuse, who then informed referee Jose Sanchez Martinez. No black player or any player ever wants to hear that," Williams told the Athletic Bilbao website after the game. It's completely out of order, people should go to matches to enjoy themselves, to support their team; football is a team sport and should be played in a friendly atmosphere.
Registering easily their best result of the campaign so far, Celestes cut the gap to safety to just two points following Mallorca's 2-1 defeat at Levante, and they can move out of the relegation zone this Friday with another win. With that incentive set to drive the hosts on and their opponents reeling after a third defeat in four last Sunday, we fancy Celta to come out best in this clash via a 2-1 scoreline.
Ings twice went close to a leveller as it appeared Spurs would stand firm, only for Boufal to come off the bench to meet Ing’s pullback to fire his first of the season into the roof of the net to earn Saints a replay. TALKING POINT Missed opportunity for Spurs. Not since Jose Mourinho’s first three games in charge have Spurs won back-to-back matches, but having nervously got the better of Norwich at the weekend, they looked on course to secure an impressive victory against a side who had won six of their last eight in all competitions.
Home team will not easy win in this match in Ukraine Cup, even we all know that they are favorites and I can said, pretty big favorites. So, Dynamo Kiev is this season much much weaker than Shakhtar Donetsk and they are already lost all chances in fight for a title. Still, they can fight at least for this second trophy and they are of course, first favorites here, because Shakhtar is eliminated earlier. I see here 2-1 home win or something similar, what is for me very real and I will just try that. Odds are pretty good with this 1,80.
Rangers' Connor Goldson hopes to use a packed Celtic Park to put pressure on the home team as he looks to recover from "my worst day in football". The centre-half says it was a "horrible" feeling to lose to Celtic in this month's Scottish League Cup final despite his side dominating the game. Rangers visit their city rivals and league leaders on Sunday. If we go there and start well and put the game in our favour and can quieten the crowd," Goldson said.
Wolves are seventh in the Premier League, only six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the final Champions League spot. Podence said: "My individual goals are to play as much as possible, help the team with goals and assists and, collectively, I'd like to qualify for the Champions League. That is a goal that's within our reach, and I hope we can have a better season than last year. I'm very excited.
Today is going to be a very exciting football match Two teams are facing each other in this Liga MX - Clausura match in Mexico: Toluca vs. Atlas. Both teams have played recently with results to follow, so the outcome of this game can be unpredictable. However, I find it interesting to place a bet on over 2,5 goals in this match to the odds of 1.85. I think that the chances for the outcome to happen are bigger than the odds indicates, and therefore I think this is a value bet. Feel free to join me in placing this bet and good luck to all.
Zira will be hosting Keshla in this round of the Azerbaijan Premier League this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have goals from each team in question here. The hosts have managed to score an average of 1 goal in their last 5 games at home in all competitions and they can score at least a goal in this game. The visitors have managed to score an average of 1 goal in their last 5 games on the road in all competitions and they can score at least a goal in this game too seeing that they possess more quality
Being drawn at home, we have been afforded all the privileges we would get from a home tie, so we will welcome Birmingham's directors into the boardroom and we have the home dressing room. It is a unique fixture. We want to promote it as a game of unity. Boddy admits Coventry's finances are stretched because of their current situation. You don't have to be a brain surgeon to work that out," he added.
Ferguson’s temporary appointment lifted the spirits, with the mood transforming to celebratory after this 3-1 victory. Goals at the start of each half from Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave Everton a two-goal lead, before a brilliant strike from Mateo Kovacic immediately reduced the areas. Everton’s high tempo throughout was exemplified by Calvert-Lewin, who stabbed home the game clinching goal in the 84th minute.
However, Tottenham are continuously playing in systems it looks like they don't understand. There is no identity as to what they are as a football club right now or what they want to be. I cannot remember the last time Tottenham played well. They have been getting results but I cannot see a system being put in place. Are they a team that is going to go long? Are they a team that will pass between the lines? Are they a team that plays out from the back? Are they a team that bases their game on possession? Are they a team that bases their game on playing out wide? I just don't know what they are.

Cadiz II will play against Sevilla II in the Spain segunda division group 4. Cadiz II is sitting on the 10th spot with 30 points while the visitors Sevilla II are sitting on the 13th spot with 26 points so far in this season. Cadiz II have a very good home record as they have won 3 of their last 5 home matches. Meanwhile sevilla II have drawn 2 of their last 3 away matches. They play very defensive football and I expect them to get at least a point from this match. This match to end in a draw

Liverpool win Anfield thriller against ChelseaKlopp, whose side cantered to the Premier League title this term, says he respects the Chelsea manager's competitiveness but was unhappy that Lampard chose to continue his complaints after the match.

It looked like Joelinton’s towering header, which clattered off the bar with Kepa beaten, would be the closest to a goal. But then Allan Saint-Maximin crossed, Hayden headed through Kepa and St James’ Park erupted. TALKING POINT – Why can’t Chelsea break down deep-lying defences? It’s been the same story for Chelsea all season – when teams sit deep, they struggle to create chances.
There isn’t a huge amount to pick from between the two sides but home advantage and the form of Alex Jakubiak, who has five goals this term, could be the difference this weekend. We’re backing the home side to win by the most slender of margins in a 1-0 win.
Paper Round’s view: Rodriguez has a transfer release clause of £9 million, making him probably the cheapest option but certainly a stopgap at his age. Moron is the youngest, and has worked with Qique Setien before, which might make him the smart choice to hit the ground running at a new club. Realistically, Barcelona just need someone to help fill out the numbers.

I listened to Villa's complaints after their loss to Watford but they need to stop worrying about things that have gone against them and start winning some games. Villa need to show a little bit of backbone. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Kojo's prediction: 1-2 Newcastle v LeicesterNewcastle are very difficult to predict. They don't lose many games at home but against Everton last time out they were outplayed before coming back - only to be undone by a sucker punch.

Nicolson referred to the "Football Association's fit and proper person test", but the relevant test is the Premier League's owners and directors test. It is understood that the Premier League is currently carrying out the necessary paperwork with regards to this test and the proposed takeover. Speculating that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which is behind the proposed takeover, were to pass that test, Nicolson asked: "In that eventuality would you be able to intervene and would you consider doing so?"Dowden replied: "I think it is a matter for them to carry out.
Both Charlton and Sheffield carry poor runs to this match and will be keen to get back to winning ways. Charlton have done well for a promoted side, but they will want to make use of the good returns they have in attack. Sheffield are on a slightly better form but have a bad run away from home and this could cost them here. With both sides’ scoring returns, we are backing both to score and a good pick here would be on over 2.5 goals.
