The Scot's decision to switch formation was instantly rewarded with a goal for Richarlison before Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a double to send the crowd wild.

I was like 'seriously?'. Anyway I managed to persuade him to let me get off and within two or three hours of my son being born he was on the phone saying 'I need you back down here, there is a game tomorrow'. It was only a friendly and he said I would play the second half and it would be worth it. I did not even come on for one minute. That goes beyond football for me, that is just not on. At half-time I was psyching myself up but nothing, not even a look in.
We need to pick up fast. Leicester show their strength in depthAlthough bruising defeats by Manchester City and Liverpool have seemingly ended Leicester's title challenge, the Foxes are a strong bet to finish in the top four and earn a return to the Champions League next season.

We have a concern that in some parts of the world many clubs are already turning to unilateral decisions in terms of lay-offs and wage cuts on terms that players simply cannot afford," he said.

Benfica is the current leader and they can't waste any points if they want to keep a good distance to their main rivals in the title contest, Porto. On this contest they will travel to Guimaraes to face Vitória SC, a very tough and well organized team but overall Benfica has a better team and should be able to get the win in the end. Benfica has a perfect record so far on the road and should continue here with a victory on this match, which makes their -0.5 Asian Handicap the best line to take on this match here.
They need a leader in that department, with a definitive plan. Arsenal's former co-owner and vice-chairman David Dein, who left in 2007, must look at them and think 'what the heck has happened?'Lawro's prediction: 2-0Big Zuu's prediction: Arsenal have been a bit topsy-turvy but they have got a couple of wins now which means Hector Bellerin can finally plant some trees - he said he would plant 3,000 trees every time they won, then they lost their next two games.

Now Pogba’s problem is Manchester (United),” Raiola told the Italian newspaper, La Repubblica. It is a club out of touch with reality, without a sports project. I would no longer take anyone there. They would even ruin (Diego) Maradona, Pele and (Paolo) Maldini. Paul needs a club and a squad, one like Juventus was before.
Much of their success this season has been down to Dimitri Payet, the former West Ham star being the highest-rated non-PSG player in the top flight, according to WhoScored. Many will already be familiar with Payet's brand of virtuosity. He is capable of scoring (nine goals this season) and creating (four assists).
They gave a solid account of themselves here, where there is no shame in defeat - 17 sides have directly preceded them with the same fate, some wilting a lot more readily than the Blades. David McGoldrick has yet to score this season, but he went close soon after Liverpool's opener with an effort that Alisson had to tip over.

Did you know? Lerma regained possession 12 times against Chelsea and completed more passes than any other team-mate. Kevin de Bruyne: This was a performance of Zinedine Zidane proportions. Not since I saw the French master dominate the European Championship final in 2000 have I seen such a complete performance. Kevin de Bruyne's display wasn't just sheer class - like Zidane the Belgium international has this ability to make everything look effortless.
Odds are decent for me to be taking the over 3.5 goals in this one believing in very good chances that we can see both teams scoring and expecting mostly 3 or even more goals scored in this one by the guests just like it happened last season when Avondale was one of the best clubs here in NPL Victoria and even though they failed to win at home with City in just a nil draw when they played here they scored no less than 4 goals also conceding one goal as they won the game with 4-1 in the end.

Enskede will against Tyreso in match Sweden Club Friendlies. My prediction this match could be the win for Tyreso with margin score is 1 goal. Tyreso have better result on last 5 match due to tyreso have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Enskede have not good result on last 5 match due to Enskede only have won in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Tyreso could be defeat Enskede due to Tyreso more strong rather than Enskede. Surely Tyreso have more chance to win on this match.

Angers haven't been in the greatest vein of form recently but did manage to turn somewhat of a corner before the international break as they got a 0-0 draw away to a Reims side solid at home.

He has denied suggestions of a rift between himself and Palace chairman Steve Parish, and even told the press that he is in fact close to agreeing a new contract to remain at the club, who are currently six points clear of the relegation zone.

Some don't even have hot water. It's very windy, there might be 500 watching, it's really hard to get up for. But it's the real world and I wouldn't have it any other way. Obviously I do look back and think 'what if I had played more games at Arsenal?' but you've got to be positive. I've got six or seven assists this season and I couldn't be happier.

With just one win from their last seven games, a humiliating cup exit, a lengthy injury list and a batch of new players who are struggling to assimilate, it's fair to suggest that Atletico Madrid are not exactly firing on all cylinders as they prepare for their Champions League meeting with Liverpool. Why has this season, which started with such optimism, gone so wrong for Diego Simeone's team?Early promise fizzles out Joao Felix has only scored four times for Atletico - with both his goals since September coming against Lokomotiv MoscowWhen Atletico Madrid splashed out 126m euros (£113m) last summer to make Joao Felix the third most expensive player in history, it seemed like a serious statement of intent.
