Lazio won their opening game of 2020 to further their dreams of winning the title this term. The last manager to lead them to the title – Sven-Goran Eriksson – said this side could repeat that achievement 20 years on. That would really hurt Napoli – this weekend’s visitors to the Stadio Olimpico.

Brest have been alright going forward at home this season with eight goals in their last six matches at the Stade Francis-Le-Blé so we're backing them to convert here against Strasbourg. However, Dall'Oglio's men have been conceding so many chances recently and with Strasbourg scoring four goals in two of their last three matches we're expecting a few goals here. We think this will finish 3-1 to the visitors.
City set up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Gabriel Jesus on the left wing and De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva as false nines. Guardiola would have been slaughtered had they lost, but the result – and the performance - more than justified the means. MAN OF THE MATCH Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) When isn’t he the Man of the Match? His role as one of two false nines meant he was not always as influential as usual - but he had a hand in most of City’s best chances, including the equaliser, and took responsibility to score the winner from the penalty spot.

Is this worth more than two instinctive outbursts of raw emotion, even if these are in response to glorious failure? Changing the course of history Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 3-1 Everton: Foxes lift the Premier League trophy It is, of course, possible to go beyond the immediate impact of losing the final nine games of a season and hypothesise alternate histories that further deprive the game of its glorious facets.
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.
This is the second moment of reckoning for Zidane this season after a heavy defeat by Paris St Germain in September and a loss to Mallorca in October left him fighting for his job. The team responded by tightening up their defence and going on an unbeaten run of 21 matches, although Zidane warned last month that it would only take a couple of bad results for him to be back in the firing line.
Now obviously the club’s reaction is irrelevant due to their inability to pay their staff – just perform a U-turn, lads – and the Warm-Up can sympathise with the under-pressure Mourinho. Fail at Tottenham and his legacy in England will be in tatters. He's not tried to be secretive about it, holding the session in a public park in his plum training top, so we'll chalk this down as foolish rather than illegal (mainly so the government don't shut the parks as we're holed up in a tiny flat).
TACTICS ARE GREAT There were lots great tactics on display this weekend. Well done everyone on the great tactics. Aren't tactics great? ABSOLUTE BIFF POWER RANKINGS There were some biffs this weekend - here are your top three: In at number three is Goran Pandev with a filthy chip, volley thing. Lovely.
But without the right players, the situation will not improve. Andy Haigh: Is there any possibility of a takeover of ownership in the foreseeable future?Not hearing anything on that one. The only definite is it would cost in excess of £4bn and not many people have that money. I was told by someone I trust there is interest from Saudi Arabia but that would come with significant baggage in terms of human rights.
Asked if that put Lennon up there with McNeill among the club's greats, McGregor said: "Yeah definitely - as you said, there's not too many in that category, so it shows just how good a manager he is, the calibre that he's got. He's a born winner. He demands from the players every single day. Even this morning in the warm-up, he was on the players to do it properly. So it shows his mentality and his winning mentality and that's rubbing off on the group as well.
So far, Song Lam has collected 4 points from the March games before the break with only one goal (1-0 at home, 0-0 away). In the Cup the first round was survived (again 1-0 at home), in the second the team knocked out after 1-1 in extra time against second division team Ba Ria. Da Nang has lost both March games so far (0-1 away, 1-4 at home), but recently survived the first cup round by 1-0 with a second division team, but knocked out in round 2 to penalty shootouts against Hanoi. A game in which goals should be scored on both sides and draw.
These are two of the best clubs in the league but between them there was a 26 points in the end of last season with Pakhtakor finishing the season on 1st place with 69 points total while 2nd placed Lokomotiv Tashkent had 49 points and finished on 2nd placed and the guests in this one caught 3rd place in the league last season with 43 points.

It's not easy to manage him at all!" Tuchel told France Info. He has a big, big heart, but, unfortunately, he does not always show that he is a generous, reliable boy.

Immelman: November masters presents different challenges Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman believes the famous Augusta Court would present a different set of challenges should the event be played in a mooted rescheduled slot in November. If you look at the golf course in a bubble, I think the course itself won't play all that differently.
The 34-year-old was the driving force behind the U. S. July and netted a penalty in the final against the Netherlands. Rapinoe, who is also the captain of Reign FC in the U. S. National Women's Soccer League, succeeds Norway's Ada Hegerberg, who did not feature at the World Cup. The award is based on a vote by international journalists.
Lopez is living in a house in Ottawa with Mista and other coaching staff, having cut short the team's pre-season training camp to catch one of the last flights back to Canada. Mista, the former Atletico Madrid and Valencia forward, had only thee days to work with his players in Spain before they had to rush back because the border was closing. The 41-year-old was introduced to a squad that was compiled through Atletico's extensive scouting network and an initiative set up by the league, in partnership with analytics company 21st Club, that helps create a worldwide database of young players.
While Sheffield United and Wolves are very different sides, they have similarities that have been key tenets of their success. We expect these (defensive solidity, tactical discipline, positional cover), to create a low-scoring match. Back under 1.5 goals.

Atalanta weren’t also entirely comfortable defensively against Lazio earlier. In that game, they conceded twice in the opening 12 minutes but credit to their attack, they came back to win 3-2. Facing a Napoli side that has also done well since the resumption of football is therefore going to be a real challenge.

I picked him because the way he has led that Liverpool team this season has been magnificent. Ian Wright: Kevin de Bruyne (1) Kevin de Bruyne has created the most chances of any player in Europe's big five leagues in 2019-20. On average, he made a chance every 21 minutes, which also gave him the best minutes-per-chance ratio. Since that statistic was first measured in 2006-07, only Dimitri Payet has had a better ratio, when he made a chance every 19 minutes for Marseille in Ligue 1 in 2017-18In a season in which his club haven't won the league title, it speaks volumes that De Bruyne is still top of my mind when it comes to thinking about the PFA Player of the Year award.
They reached the FA Cup first round eight times and the second round twice. Liverpool players John Aldridge and Jimmy Case used to play for them. Legendary Hungarian Ferenc Puskas did so once, in a charity game. South Liverpool applied to join the Football League on 10 occasions. They were unsuccessful every time. A combination of financial problems and their club house being burnt down in the late 1980s sent the club into a tail spin and by 2006, they were in the first division of the Liverpool County Premier League.
There isn’t a lot of cheer at Melbourne Victory so far this season with just two victories in ten games and less than a goal a game. They’ve lost three of their last five games and frustration is beginning to grow within the fanbase with many thinking that the side should be performing at the other end of the table.
Austria Wien II have been the third most productive home team in the league with 19 goals in 10 matches. In the last 3 league games at home they have scored a total of 11 goals. But in 8 of the 10 matches they also failed to keep a clean sheet.
Nolan, 21, was part of Inter Milan's academy and signed for SS Arezzo in the summer before joining Serie C side Erminio in January. I have been in lockdown in my apartment for seven weeks, but we had stopped training four or five weeks previously. We have a few lads in the squad from Bergamo, which has been hit really badly, so when we were still training we were all worried about them possibly catching the virus, and then going home and spreading it to their wives, kids or parents.
A lot could be decided before this game begins. Derby's play-off hopes may have finally been extinguished and Leeds United could be promoted as champions. Derby have struggled in the past couple of weeks with three straight losses. Leeds are in top form and regardless of what happens over the next few days, they can beat Derby. It's just a crying shame that their long-suffering fans won't be there to celebrate.

The 34-year-old Californian and her team mates sued the U. S. March for gender discrimination, arguing they had been paid less than the men's squad and were provided inferior working conditions.

Man City are a great team but they have to feel your aggression and when you get the ball you have to have quality," Rodgers said. Meanwhile, Rodgers denied reports the club were planning a move for Liverpool's England international midfielder Adam Lallana, who is out of contract at the end of the season. I've seen a lot of stuff around Adam and that we've approached Liverpool and what not, which obviously isn't the case," said the Northern Irishman, who signed Lallana for Liverpool from Southampton in 2014.
The former Porto, Chelsea and Real Madrid manager's departure from Old Trafford continued his run of having never completed four consecutive seasons in charge of a club. When I don't win I cannot be happy and I cannot change that," Mourinho added. That is my DNA. I hope I can influence my players, because if you are happy losing football matches it is very hard to be a winner. Sometimes you have to work with people you don't love and work well.
United have not won a Premier League title since 2013 -- when former manager Alex Ferguson retired -- despite spending nearly one billion pounds ($1. I can't change the ownership of United, no one can," Neville said. I'm struggling to understand why the ownership have persisted in trusting that management team to oversee the building of a Premier League title-winning team since Sir Alex left.
A couple of minutes later, he was celebrating an equaliser before he faced the media to reflect on the damage injuries to Charlie Taylor and Jay Rodriguez would do to his threadbare squad and to joke that assistant Ian Woan might need to dig his boots out for the weekend. It was knockout stuff and typical of Dyche. But soon, serious decisions will have to be made and no-one can be entirely certain how it will go.

On Sunday, they beat second-bottom Shenhua 3-0 to secure the title. Goalscorer Park Ji-soo celebrated his goal by running over to embrace Cannavaro. Beijing Guoan were two points back in second place while Rafael Benitez's side Dalian Yifang finished ninth. Cannavaro, Italy's World Cup-winning captain in 2006, had been criticised for his "weak ability to rectify mistakes and insufficiently strict handling of players" by his club.
