He sets himself and shoots from twelve yards, but Martin throws out a leg to deny him. That could be a huge save. CHANCE! Another dangerous, whipped ball from Snodgrass from the free kick finds Haller at the back post. From six yards he heads it straight down into the ground and it bounces over the bar.
In contrast, while Fleetwood have thrived at home, Tranmere have struggled massively on their travels, winning just two out of eight, losing five of the other six. The visitors do come into this match having won when last in action on the road in League 1, but they had the luxury of facing a struggling MK Dons side that folded. They're unlikely to get such fortune against Fleetwood.

We'd only been promoted the season before but I think we were safe right up until the last game. Scottish Cup finalists Airdrie went down, too, despite finishing with a win at champions Rangers as well as beating a Celtic side down the stretch that was going for 10-in-a-row. Partick Thistle also fell after ending with four consecutive draws. Dumbarton, Dunfermline Athletic and Morton had already gone by the season finale.
Nothing special to say about this straight forward bet, Lida to win or draw away, it's a pretty safe one and of value at 1,45. Its real price should be at 1,31 so, we have value indeed. Lida does not lose to Smorgon since 2016, so I guess we don't have to go much further to realize this is a pretty good bet. You can risk by betting on a Lida's win but there is a big chance of this match ending up 1 x 1. The last result at Smorgon's was 0 x 0 last year. So I'll bet safely DC X2
GOAL! Barcelona 4-0 Leganes: There's the fourth goal for Barcelona! Ansu's shot was saved by Cuellar, the stop was then made from Messi, but Arthur arrived on the scene to finish into the Leganes net! The goalkeeper couldn't have done anything more to keep that attack out! 88’ GOAL! Barcelona 5-0 Leganes: It's a fifth for Barcelona and Messi grabs his second of the night! This hasn't been his best display in a Barca shirt and yet the Argentine will finish with a brace.
But Lennon has left five key first-team regulars behind following the exertions involved in winning Sunday's Scottish League Cup against Rangers despite being down to 10 men. No favours' for Cluj, 'we're here to win' - LennonCeltic's run of 12 victories includes three away from home since losing to Livingston in October. Cluj also have a proud record to protect and, although they lost 2-1 away to mid-table Botosani on Sunday to fall behind Astra Giurgiu at the top of Liga 1, Petrescu's side have won 10 home games in a row since losing 1-0 to Slavia Prague in Champions League qualifying in August.
Burnley have often been seen as a rather defensive minded team, but this season has seen their matches take an exciting turn. In fact, their top flight outings this season have averaged 2.85 goals per game, and they have failed to find the net just three times. This newfound goalscoring prowess has taken its toll at the other end of the pitch though, as evident in the 3-0 and 4-2 losses at home to Liverpool and Chelsea respectively.
With Diego Costa back in the Atletico line up, the perennial pantomime villain almost had an immediate impact, finding the side-netting in the first minute of the match. Liverpool, who welcomed Jordan Henderson back into the side, but were without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson, settled and kept plugging away with accurate cross after cross causing plenty of problems for the visitors.
This was the weekend where the top two could have suffered Euro fatigue and a new era at Hearts was ushered in. However, it was business as usual at both end of the table as the Old Firm eased to victory while Daniel Stendel's arrival did little to change the fortunes of the team from Tynecastle. Here are the top takeaways from the Scottish Premiership. Lennon getting the most out of rotated squad A 2-0 win over Hibernian at Celtic Park looks and sounds like a regular day at the office for Celtic, yet Neil Lennon will undoubtedly be proud of the fact his side have maintained a match-winning standard despite numerous key players dropping in and out of the team.
They have another difficult challenge here as they host Monaco and while their home form has been much better than their away record recently, there have still been some awful performances at the Stade Raymond Kopa. Angers have won two of their last five home games with just two non-penalty goals in the process and worse teams than Monaco like Brest (0-1) and Amiens (1-1) taking points from them in this run. The away side should be licking their lips.
McTominay returned from more than three weeks on the sidelines with an ankle injury to patrol the midfield area alongside Fred as United, who drew their last two Premier League games, claimed all three points at Old Trafford. Video - Solskjaer: ‘Manchester United were the best they’ve been this season’00:28 Spurs manager Jose Mourinho, who gave McTominay his breakthrough at United, said the Scottish midfielder was the difference between the two sides.
Here's how he did it. Building on firm foundationsChelsea had been ensconced in the top six of the Premier League for nigh on a decade by the time Mourinho arrived. With Roman Abramovich in the corridors of power Chelsea had thrown money at the team 12 months earlier, with Ranieri making some key signings in Joe Cole, Damien Duff and Claude Makelele. What was lacking, it was felt, was a coach with the swagger and the genius to turn a good side into champions.
Gorodeya are strugglng for form and goals but this is a decent chance to get some points. Neman Grodno aren't that bad a side but their away form is letting them down with just one point and one goal. That's compared to having the fourth best home record in the Belarus Premier League. With Gorodeya having onlly scored two home league goals (seven goals in total in four at home), the suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.
Pogba has played only eight times this season after having surgery in the autumn to correct an ankle problem. The 26-year-old's comeback was then delayed by illness, meaning he did not resume training until mid-December. The former Juventus midfielder made substitute appearances against Watford and Newcastle before being rested for Saturday's win at Burnley. Solskjaer said last month that Pogba would not be sold in January.

Responding to arguments that players in Italy and Spain had made greater sacrifices, Lineker said: "They're a few weeks ahead of us in Spain and Italy as everybody knows. Give the players a chance to help the situation. I'm positive they will do what's right. If it transpires that they don't, I'll be their harshest critic.
Only one team can qualify from each of the four groups in the Taca da Liga and even with a weakened starting eleven, you would fancy Porto to do enough to ensure they progressed through to the knockout stage. Chaves have only lost twice at home this season and ar eyet to suffer defeat in Group D while Porto have only lost once on the road in the league and also have a 100% record in the Taca da Liga this season.

If we (the National League) follow the EFL, which is what I understand we've been waiting for, I'm guessing we'll be crowned champions and will hopefully be invited to take Bury's place. Barrow led the fifth tier by four points, with nine games left, when the league was halted because of coronavirus in March. The National League had been waiting on the EFL to announce an outcome before deciding on promotion and relegation.

Moreover, in recent times, Extremadura have toughened up, none of their last four fixtures, keeping three clean sheets in the process. However, they have tended to struggle against the top teams, losing each of their six matches against teams that currently reside in the top six. Girona aren't quite in the top six, but they're certainly in that bracket in terms of quality, while they beat Extremadura by three goals to one when the pair met earlier in the campaign.

He is not allowed to play in the Champions League because the date for registration has passed, but he can play in all of Barca's remaining 14 La Liga games, possibly picking up a league winner's medal if they overhaul Real Madrid's one-point lead at the top. La Liga need to look at this rule," said European football reporter Raphael Honigstein on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily. It makes sense for goalkeepers.
Odense will host Denmark league leaders Midtylland. The host will be hoping to extend their top 6 position in the league to make up for European Competition next season, Midtylland are leaders and are currently seven points difference above at the top of the table, the will be coming here hoping to gain more points to keep their hope of winning the title and becoming Champions. At home Odense are powerful that's why I go on for over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match. The visitors has been unstoppable on the road and that will make the game explosive.
Celtic come into this game on a 7-game winning streak in all competitions that they got underway when they lost to their upcoming opponents at the Tony Macaroni Arena, which has led the club to top both the Premiership and Europa League tables.
Wellington Phoenix enter the game this weekend following a terrible start to the season that has seen them pick up just one point and concede nine goals. The New Zealand side look low on confidence but by picking up their first point of the season last weekend, against Melbourne Victory, could have a renewed vigour. The side can count themselves a little unlucky to be in this position though, and look to be underperforming across the board with the majority of their stats at around the same level as their competition. Something will need to change for Ufuk Talay’s team though as they already find themselves five points off the playoff spots.
Click here to read Tuesday's Paper Round 09:50 - Van Basten suspended by Fox Sports Former Netherlands forward Marco van Basten has been suspended from his role as a television analyst for one week after using a term associated with Nazi rallies. The 55-year-old said "Sieg Heil", which in German means "hail victory", on the Dutch edition of Fox Sports after a German coach was interviewed by one of the channel's reporters for the De Eretribune show on Sunday.
They've had a lot of time without winning so we have to be passionate with a clear focus. It'll not be overnight but we have to be patient. I'm sure we're going to improve quickly. Ancelotti confirmed Ferguson would stay on in his coaching staff because he was familiar with the players, saying he had done the same at Paris St Germain with Claude Makelele and Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane.
Meanwhile in Gelsenkirchen, Yugoslavia thrashed Zaire 9-0 amid claims the Africans had threatened to strike before the game over missing payments. Head coach Miljan Miljanic was a former Yugoslavian international. And, with his team 3-0 down after 21 minutes, he replaced his goalkeeper with a 5ft 4in stand in. Sixty seconds later it was four. You often find that smaller nations are always up for the first game then fall away," Hay says.
For me, he plays full back as a midfield player. His range of passing is phenomenal. Rodgers told a news conference. His quality, the experiences he has gained, for Juergen he has been absolutely amazing. Trent is up there and is very much England's number one (right back) and playing consistently at a high level.
Joe Jordan and Davie Hay played in all three matches in West Germany. They talk us through the campaign. Rowing boats & sinking the Auld EnemyPreparations were eye opening, to say the least. After mixed results in the Home Internationals, Scotland had warm-up matches in Belgium and Norway. Then there was the incident in Largs. Manager Willie Ormond allowed the players go for a night out in the coastal town and, in the early hours, winger Jimmy Johnstone decided to commandeer a rowing boat.
Barca host struggling Mallorca on Saturday in search of a fourth straight league win while Real, who are unbeaten in their last eight games, are at home to 19th-placed Espanyol. Atleti's hopes of repeating 2014's remarkable title win have all but faded with Sunday's 1-0 defeat at home to Barca, yet even finishing in the top four might prove a challenge unless they can find some inspiration soon.
But even when Spurs were leading 2-0, the Clarets were generously allowed chances to get a foothold in the game. Striker Chris Wood saw his follow-up to Brady's header, which hit the underside of the bar and then the left-hand post, blocked by Davinson Sanchez, while Jay Rodriguez perhaps should have converted one of two close-range headers. Ultimately their inability to take these chances did not cost them - it was a lack of the defensive discipline which has served them so well under manager Sean Dyche.
Werner was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool before signing for Chelsea, and the forward says it is "like a little dream" moving to the west London club. When you have a decision to go from your old club and you come to a big club like this, it was for me a dream which came true because Chelsea is a very big club," he added. How Werner's Chelsea move happened, how he will fit in and what happened to Liverpool deal?"I know of the players before when they won the Champions League with (Didier) Drogba, with my new manager Frank Lampard, Petr Cech as the technical advisor, it is like a little dream for me.
But Klopp says he has faith that the youthful side will be able to put in a strong performance against more experienced opponents. I know how a lot of people in the public see it, but if all the football games would be decided before we start, only because of the perception of the people, then most of the games wouldn’t be played.
Marcus Rashford scored against Liverpool in OctoberGetty Images But losing Rashford, who scored in the draw against Liverpool, would be a big blow to United's chances of a positive result at Anfield. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do anything and everything we can to get him fit for Sunday,” said Solskjaer.
Burnley bagged a consolation through Robbie Brady late on, but it was far too little far too late for the outclassed Clarets, with City, for one night at least, closing the gap to Liverpool at the top of the table to eight points. Jesus had the ball in the net early on after getting the faintest of touches to a Angelino volley, only to be denied by the offside flag.
They don’t have a regular goalscorer but they have midfield players who can get in there and Lundstram can come off the bench and scored in the last game. Fleck can nick goals as well. For me, it’s not a Manchester United-Chelsea thing. There are at least another two teams who can finish in the Champions League positions.
Contending for that not-so-coveted spot is Sean Dyche's Burnley team, a place below Spurs on goal difference. The last few games between Spurs and Arsenal have been close affairs with both teams winning two apiece of the last six played, the other two ending in stalemates. Arsenal shook off a bad opening to the Premier League return by following up two successive defeats with three wins.
