It’s an interesting draw, Before the draw I actually thought it would be Madrid – either one of the two clubs – and that’s the way it is. Klopp said. It’s a tough one, but if you go through all of the draws, there are pretty much four or five potential finals already in the last 16. So, really, really good; a good draw.

I didn't know what to do, I got caught up in the hype. I didn't handle the situation properly, I let it get hold of me. The people around me at the time didn't know what to do either. Bad news travels fast. The media is there to do their job, they build you up and when you are ready to come back down, you will come back down like a roller coaster. I wasn't focusing on the media, I was more concerned on my career and what I was going through emotionally.

They were brought into the public domain by the Football Leaks organisation, who distributed thousands of confidential emails to the German magazine Der Spiegel. City alleged they had been the victim of an illegal hack by people who had the express intention of damaging their reputation. They also said the emails were being used as the basis for reports which were being taken out of context. That is still their stance.
FIFA have been talking about distribution of the revenue but haven't discussed the impact this would have in different countries," he said. Let's imagine the two teams from Argentina (Boca Juniors and River Plate are expected to take part) get 40 or 50 million dollars from the tournament. This would have a significant impact on their domestic league.
Paper Round's view: This is going to be one of those transfers that will go on all summer. Dortmund will probably hold out on accepting any bids for Sancho until after the European Championships - just in case his performances at the international tournament inflate his value. Wednesday's reports seemed to point to United signing Sancho this summer, especially with the expected transfer of Hakim Ziyech to Chelsea.
The league leaders, who won the Club World Cup title by beating Brazil's Flamengo last Saturday, take on second-placed Leicester City on Thursday and host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, but other teams including Manchester City are not as fortunate.

View more on twitterHe has since gone on to play more than 2,000 Championship minutes in a variety of positions, including central or left-midfield, scoring four times. Bellingham's tenacity has also seen him appear as a striker in a 4-4-2 formation, as well as in a defensive midfield position. Those who have worked with him since he joined Blues' pre-academy programme at the age of seven are not surprised at his rapid rise.
And what about news conferences?It may seem like a bit of an irrelevance but pre-match news conferences have become part of the Premier League theatre. If matches were played behind closed doors, would external media still be allowed into training grounds to put questions to managers and players? Or would internal media ask questions, which would then be distributed more widely - a scenario Sir Alex Ferguson predicted when he was Manchester United manager, although that was because he did not like dealing with external press.
With the busy festive period now in the rear view mirror, it is a good time for teams to take stock of how their season has gone so far and what they need to improve on for the remainder of the campaign if they are to accomplish their goals. For fans of Crawley Town, they will be reasonably satisfied with where they are so far as they are well away from the danger zone and have set a solid platform to build on.

Bournemouth have won one of their last eight league and cup matches. Tottenham have won four of their last five games against Bournemouth.
Boca Juniors have a good run ahead of this match but they have really struggled away in the Copa Libertadores lately. Still we feel they will be favorites here, based on Caracas’ form in the competition. Caracas have six losses in 10 Libertadores matches and just one clean sheet in 10 home matches in this competition. With the shaky away record for Boca Juniors, we see this clash ending in a draw.
Maastricht and Helmond will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Maastricht this season have the following results: 4W, 4D and 11L. Meanwhile Helmond have 3W, 5D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
In December, the Sussex club were 11 points from safety, having had two points deducted for failing to control their spectators, but clawed their way back into contention to have a chance of survival on the final day. A 1-0 win over Doncaster on the penultimate weekend, in the last ever game at the Goldstone, meant Brighton went into the final day ahead of Hereford United on goals scored. Appropriately, The final fixture of the campaign was a scrap between the bottom two at Edgar Street.
Digne and the excellent Bernard, in particular, caused problems for Brighton down the left-hand side. Everton were finally rewarded for their 60% possession in the opening 45 minutes when Richarlison, who has signed a new deal that will keep him at Goodison Park until summer 2024, controlled Digne's pass before curling an inch-perfect shot into the far corner of the Brighton goal.
Liverpool are outright favorites going to this game, not only by their dominance in the season but also by their home record and run against West Ham. They have scored 11 goals in their last five home league matches, averaging two goals per game, while they have not conceded any. West Ham on the other hand, go to this clash on four straight away league losses and having conceded two or more in three of those. They lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the first leg and have not beaten Liverpool in the last seven meetings. Back Liverpool for a 2-0 win here.
Getafe drew a blank at home to Osasuna in a 0-0 stalemate before the international break; however last season's 5th placed side have been moving nicely into contention over the past month or so with 13 points accrued from their last six games. Pepe Bordalas' charges take on an Espanyol side this weekend who have lost all six of their home matches this term, and we think the in-form visitors are well priced to inflict further pain upon Periquitos at RCDE Stadium.
Fulham manager Scott Parker told BBC Radio London:"I am disappointed we have not been able to get a result out of the game, but I am disappointed with our performance as well. We didn't defend well and I didn't think we had enough quality in the final third. At both ends of the pitch we weren't on it and ultimately we need to improve on that.

The United States had the most players - at almost 20% - of the 833 transfers made in the women's game.

Dynamo Minsk 2 youth team leaders, the team looks good and have not lost at home, even there were no draws, and they only conceded 1 goal, but recently the team has slowed down, the last two matches have been difficult for them and the victory was hardly won only in the end of the match and thanks to luck, in general the team has a slight decline, they began to score less.
I predict the away team and the home team will play at full strength in the first round and the second round runs during this match.. almost every meeting the two teams will play with a very tight score and there are a lot of goals both in the first half running time and in the second half running time Competition.. the score prediction for this match is over 4 goals in the last minute of the game running... For predictions the ball score in this match is 2-2 or 3-1 .. Thus the prediction of the ball for this match
There isn’t a clear winner coming into the game though and we’d be hard pushed to pick an outright winner. A draw looks quite likely and with the two sides both hoping to focus on their defensive stability a 1-1 result looks the most likely between two of the most evenly matched sides in the league.
TALKING POINT - Zinedine Zidane has rediscovered his old groove as Real Madrid manager At their best under Zidane, Real Madrid won games through muscle memory. This was another one of those victories. On the whole, Getafe were probably the better of the two teams, but the visitors took their chances and claimed a win to take them to the top of La Liga.

Fulham and Derby County face each other for the Championship. Both the have a good roster and I expected both to be on top flight of the table at least on the playoff spots. Fulham is clearly stronger, they came from Premier League and have a great team for Championship. Derby County are not doing as well as I expected them to do but are still in the run. The championship is long and I believe they have a team ready to takeover. The odds for the draw are good and I believe they have a lot of value. I predict the draw
Last season, Value successfully defended the title of Iceland champion. It is the 16th league title in the history of this team. As a result, Value continued to attend the first qualifying round of the Champions League 2019/20. Last year, Value was eliminated by Norway's Rosenborg in the first qualifying round and must go down to the second qualifying round of the Europa League. However, Valur's journey only reached the third qualifying round.

Video - Ibrahimovic launches fundraiser to 'kick this coronavirus away'01:06 FIFA president Gianni Infantino's 2016 election campaign included plans to distribute the organisation's resources.

Long-term up-and-down manager Leonardo Jardim was finally given the sack (again) at the tail end of last year with former Spain head coach Robert Moreno being brought in as his successor. Moreno has limited experience as a number one but has reportedly been given the full backing of the board. The Spaniard had a tricky start to his time in the principality with them hosting Ligue 1's second best defence Reims in the Coupe de France but they managed to get the 2-1 win via a brace from Keita Baldé.
B36 Torshavn will host HB Torshavn for this fixture of the league. Both teams have great results in this new campaign. Both teams are undefeated in this season. They have four consecutive victories. No doubt, both sides have the motivation to continue the winning track. Yeah, B36 have advantage at home stadium. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, HB will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. My pick - HB to win.
Lazio have won nine consecutive Serie A games for the second time in their history, while they are within six points of the title with a game in hand. Last month saw them beat Juve to the Super Cup, while they are shaping up as a real contender. This incredible winning run has come at the perfect time, while they meet a Napoli side who have lost five of their six clashes with sides above them.
Another match where we should not see much goals or this should be a match where nothing special happens. Both teams are fighting at the bottom at the league to avoid relegation and as this is a direct duel between two teams that can be relegated I don't think that any of the coaches will want to risk anything and will force too much as this is a high value match. Both teams are mostly playing tight and even matches this season and the same goals when they are playing each other.I don't see any winner here. All I see is one boring match.
Four of Famailcao’s wins this season have been via a one-goal margin and four of Tondela’s defeats have also been by the odd goal which is a majority for both clubs and provides the basis for our prediction of a narrow home win this Saturday.
After that we can think about other things but dreaming is for free. I'm happy for Jota, delighted, as when a player scores three goals it means he has helped the team a lot. He did a good job, and Neves also scored a beautiful goal. It's organisation, taking advantage of the talent of the players. Wolves next host Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday before heading to Spain for the second leg on Thursday.
Chelsea are playing with confidence and Pulisic is a big reason for this. The versatile American attacker is positionally intelligent and defenders find him difficult to mark. Back him to find the back of the net again.
City have one loss and nine wins in their last 10 matches and 13 of their last 15 matches have produced over 2. They however have no clean sheets in their last four matches, and just two in the last 15. City have scored two or more goals in 13 of their last 15 matches while they have conceded two or more in just three of the last 15.
No-one will like our performance today," Setien told a news conference after the game, in which his side had 74% of possession. Valencia were committed, they closed us down and we have a lot of things to correct. As in their 1-0 win over Granada last week in Setien's first game in charge and the 2-1 victory over Ibiza in the Copa del Rey, Barca monopolised control of the ball but made hard work of opening up their opponents.
I don't know what would have happened if I'd signed for Arsenal. I'm very happy that I signed for Atletico Madrid, not just for winning the league but for everything. I'm very happy to have made that choice. In a wide-ranging interview with Balague, Villa discusses his love for the Premier League, playing with Lionel Messi, working under Pep Guardiola and why he would have liked to have played for Jose Mourinho.
Brentford have won seven of their last nine home league games. Blackburn have suffered away losses at four top sides this season. Brentford are unbeaten in their last four league games. Fourth placed Brentford look to stretch their unbeaten run of four games in the Championship. They host Blackburn Rovers who are in eighth but only five points behind their opponents.
Asan x Bucheon is a very close call. They are pretty balanced side and both goals scores and it comes to a head to head. Last 2 matches at Asan's ended up respectively 2 x 3 and 3 x 2 last season's results. There is value in this AH to Bucheon and I'm looking forward to see them scoring early so this will be an even safer bet. This Korean K2 league has not given us any surprises yet so let's hope it remains this way. Bucheon is a slightly stronger side and even playing away the numbers are on their side.
Birmingham are no strangers to a high scoring clash themselves, as they return home following three high scoring clashes around the turn of the year – including their dramatic 5-4 loss to Leeds. Has that set us up for another thrilling clash when these two meet on Saturday?
Man of the match - Richarlison (Everton) Richarlison's movement and superbly-guided header proved the difference between the two sidesA rare blank for the Blades - the statsThis was Everton's first away league win against Sheffield United since October 1972, ending a run of eight successive visits to Bramall Lane without victory. Sheffield United have lost four of their nine Premier League matches since the restart (W3 D2), as many as they had in their previous 21 before the break (W9 D8 L4).
Simona Halep won Wimbledon last year and is looking to win another Grand Slam tournament this week. The fourth seed is in good form and is yet to drop a set so far in her four wins. She takes on Anett Kontaveit who is in unchartered territory with her first Grand Slam quarter final appearance. Halep has never lost to her and she can put her years of experience to good use and win this match.
Sheffield United won 1-0 at Crystal Palace, while there were goalless draws between Newcastle and Norwich and Manchester United and Wolves.
