It seems like Ake could return to his former club Chelsea and Rugani has only started one Serie A match for Juventus this season, so maybe the best option would be to go all out for French defender Upamecano. However, RB Leipzig are currently top of the Bundesliga table, so would he want to leave a potential title win in favour for a rebuilding job at the Emirates?

Zulte-Waregem has limited to 1-1 in the away game against Ostend and should now come to terms with the idea of being out of play (places 1-6), as the difference separating it from sixth place, with three teams even above the rating (Anderlecht, Malin, Genk), it seems unlikely to be covered in the remaining three races.

Div is unbelievably important for us," Klopp said. I was happy that Mr Martinez was in the stadium because he could see his quality because when he goes to the national team he never plays.

They played in a system where they are very comfortable with, a system where they played for two years with Antonio Conte," Mourinho said.
Nonetheless, Valladolid's strength at home somewhat evens things up here and we're going for a 1-1 draw at full time. We're also predicting under 2.5 goals, which has been the outcome in nine of the 13 games played this season for both sides. However, Valladolid have scored in all but one of their five home games with the same applying to six of Sevilla's seven away matches, hence why a 1-1 scoreline looks the most likely result at Jose Zorrilla to round off Matchday 14 in La Liga.
We will decide on Friday," said Emery. He is coming back better in his mind, his mindset is better to help us and to be closer to playing when we need him. Xhaka had been an ever present for Arsenal this season but reacted to being booed as he walked off the pitch in the 2-2 draw with Palace in October by cupping his ears. The Switzerland international later released a statement saying he had "reached boiling point" following repeated threats to his wife and daughter.
The recent head-to-head record between these teams suggests that this encounter will be a low-scoring one. Their strong respective home and away defensive records also lead us to believe that this will be a match of few chances. Back against both teams scoring.

Souness, who also won five league titles with Liverpool but unlike Pogba has never won a World Cup, responded to the Frenchman.

Finland's soccer players were looking forward to competing at the finals of a major tournament for the first time ever in June, but captain Tim Sparv said it was right to postpone the Euro 2020 Championship to protect fans from the coronavirus.

This was a close-run decision because of the brilliant breakout season that Beth England had with the Lionesses and WSL champions Chelsea," said Jen O'Neill, chair of the FWA's women's subcommittee. However, Vivianne's clinical efficiency in front of goal and her seemingly effortless poise, can mean her all-round ability and footballing intelligence are sometimes overlooked.

Nottingham Forest were thumped last weekend as Sheffield Wednesday tore them apart at the City Ground. Forest have slipped up in the top six fight as a result of that 4-0 home loss, but they sit just a point shy of the playoffs thanks to their strong start.
Den Haag have failed to score in 33% of their home games this season and have lost-to-nil in 33% of the matches played in front of their own fans, while have scored at least one goal before halftime in 83% of their away games. The hosts have only managed to keep clean sheets in 17% of their home games in the Eredivisie and have never scored in both halves of any of the six matches played in front of their own fans, and this is why they sit so low in the table and why we expect them to lose this weekend.

He’d already had his last touch of the ball as a Manchester United player.
We feel we are improving all the time. We know we lack one, two, three players to be considered a title contender and some experience. We know that.

MAN OF THE MATCH Bruno Fernandes A breath of fresh air. Fernandes ran the last hour of the game with his intelligence, passing and most of all his positivity. He always demands the ball, always tries to make something happen and hardly ever takes the safe option. United’s midfield was in dire need of a creator and a leader; Fernandes has given them two for the price of one.
Life must take precedence. Indeed. Authorities across the world need to cancel football and do it now.

Much of the success of Crewe Alexandra has come courtesy of the fact that they are able to find the back of the net on a regular basis and the 42 times they have scored this season means they have the second best offensive record in the division. However, this attacking play can come at a cost and given that 75% of visiting teams to Gresty Road have managed to find the back of the net will give their opposition hope. Carlisle will be boosted by Saturday’s 2-1 win away at Walsall and with the team scoring in three out of their last four away matches, we think that backing both teams to score is the way to go.
Dijon and Rennes face each other for the Ligue 1. Both teams are not doing great. Rennes started the season very well winning 3 games in a row. After that it was all downhill. Their European journey came to an end last fixture and they are finally doing ok again at Ligue 1 as they won their last 2 matches. Going away to play once again I do not know if they can win this, they have the better team but Dijon makes things very difficult at home and they have to get every point they can get as the fight for Ligue 1 stay will be very difficult.
