In contrast, Everton were so well disciplined and organised in their draw with Liverpool on Sunday. They should have too much nous for Norwich. Lawro's prediction: 0-1Aitch's prediction: 1-1 Wolves v Bournemouth (18:00 BST)Bournemouth concede a lot of goals and right now they don't look like scoring any. They were quite free-scoring for a while under Eddie Howe but that seems to have stopped, and it looks like they have found themselves in a bit of a mess at the worst possible time.
Last weekend, West Ham became the first Premier League team to lose a home match against Tottenham Hotspur since January, and away from home the Hammers are winless in four matches, losing the most recent two to nil against Everton and Burnley respectively.
That's why it's important you are at a club with a manager who is going in the same direction as you. As a manager, you know what the players' strengths and weaknesses are. Ozil plays differently and I think that's why he gets a hard time - the others who are not doing their jobs don't. Emery has given him a chance now and he needs to take it, otherwise people will say 'wow, now I see why they didn't play him'.
That despite the almost herculean feat of getting to two European finals in such a short period. The greatest disappointment of my footballing career," admits Davie Hay, Celtic's right-back on that evening in Milan. When you look at the pictures of us going up to get our medals, there is a total look of despair and despondency. We hadnae heard of Feyenoord. They were something like 44-1 rank outsiders.

These teams played each other four times over the last two seasons in Ligue 2 that they spent together with Brest winning twice and Lorient once. However, we're edging this one in favour of the lower division side. Lorient have a superb home record with four wins on the bounce at the Stade du Moustoir and with Brest winning just one of their last nine away games, including six losses, the hosts should be in the ascendancy here. Brest haven't been defensively secure in recent weeks so we're backing the home side to put two past them but with the visitors' relatively good record against les Merlus, we expect both teams to net here. We're backing a 2-1 win for the Ligue 2 side.
In the immediate aftermath of the defeat, Marta looked directly down a pitch side camera and, with tears in her eyes, delivered a powerful and emotional message for girls aiming to follow in her footsteps.

Another very interesting match on who I will bet tonight and that is this duel, from Costa Rica, second division, where I surely see plenty of goals, but we will see what will happen. So, Guanacasteca is team who is firstly played just brilliant in May this year, last official match against Uruguay De Coronado and beat this local rival as a guests, even 4-1. In match before that one, they are also beat this rival, but this time at home 2-1. I think that this match can surely be similar like this last one was, so I will try with over.
But, so far at least, home teams are the ones suffering in the Bundesliga. Weird celebrations Erling Braut Haaland celebrates scoring the opening goal in Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 win over SchalkeSome things were exactly the same as Dortmund and Schalke took centre stage in the early kick-off on 16 May - Erling Braut Haaland scoring, for example. His goal in the 29th minute set Dortmund on their way to a comfortable 4-0 victory in front of an empty Westfalenstadion.
Southampton's energy levels dipped in the second half, but they held on to restrict Spurs to just one shot on target after the break. It was their fourth clean sheet of a campaign that has veered away from the depths of the 9-0 humiliation at St Mary's by Leicester on 25 October towards signs that Southampton can stay in the Premier League with some comfort. Bad day for Spurs and MourinhoAs brilliant as Ings' goal was, it underlined a defensive frailty that continues to hang around Spurs despite an upturn in results under Mourinho.
Government tells Premier League to 'step up' coronavirus planningValencia v Atalanta in Champions League to be played behind closed doorsCoronavirus sport timelineA statement on the Premier League's website said: "The Premier League fair-play handshake will not take place between players and match officials from this weekend until further notice based on medical advice.

We expect Freiburg to provide a tough challenge to the home side this weekend. Freiburg have scored exactly two goals in three of their last six Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Monchengladbach have conceded exactly two goals in three of their last seven competitive games.
Roma’s last two games at the Stadio Olimpico have marked them out as real top four contenders. The Giallorossi host Brescia after back to back 2-1 victories over AC Milan and Napoli at this ground. However, the hosts aren’t just a side for the big occasion, they're looking to add to the 14 goals they've notched in seven unbeaten clashes with bottom half sides.
As we all know, winning isn't everything. Virg. I am very proud to be in that bracket, to be in there for the way I performed with the team last year and also with the country," he said. It is just something to be proud of because not a lot of players go there and are up for these kind of things. There's going to be a winner but there are no losers.
The Serie A side have seen their campaign stall in recent weeks, with major problems at home and in Europe. Atalanta have won once in their last eight games, while they come into this game winless in seven. They lost 3-1 against Juventus at the weekend, shipping three goals in the final 16 minutes. That could cost them again here, as Dinamo have scored three in the last 15 minutes across their last two in Europe – drawing 2-2 and 3-3 with Shakhtar Donetsk.
His throw was headed clear towards Beckham, one of the few players on the pitch who still looked fresh. He beat Scholl to the loose ball and then evaded his attempted challenge before playing a good pass to release United’s left-winger: Gary Neville. He was still in position from the throw-in; as he ran towards the ball and prepared to cross with his left foot, every step betrayed a furious concentration not to cock it up.
Having lost just 1 of their last 5 league matches and only 3 of 15 outings this season, the visitors will come into Monday's game in positive spirit. Playing on the road is certainly not a daunting task for Trabzonspor and the fact they've taken 10 points from their last 4 away league matches speaks well for their chances in this trip.
Guardiola: Rodgers has made Leicester title rivals Brendan Rodgers has made Leicester Premier League title rivals, says Pep Guardiola. While Guardiola's champions were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw at Newcastle United at the weekend, leaving them 11 points behind leaders Liverpool, Leicester secured a last-gasp 2-1 win over Everton the following day to cut the gap to eight.
The visitors is currently enjoying nine games triumph against the hosts in Bundesliga games, which means the home team has no chance to break this history, I think the history will repeat itself on this game.

Simeone's side are far from entertaining, with only six teams in the league having scored fewer than their 16 goals, although they can boast the second best defence. Friday's game represents an ideological clash of sorts -- Villarreal, who are 13th in the table, have the best attack outside of Real and Barca but the fifth worst defence.

The Power Engineer Turkmenbashi and Shagadam meet. This meeting may end in a draw with the score 1: 1.Well, there’s one Shagadam, although with guests the jokes are bad, they can score 2 as well. Well, both will score, and it begs it! This meeting within the seventh round of the Major League of Turkmenistan promises to be unpredictable. Two equal teams will play, showing not the best football in this championship. “Energetik”, occupying the seventh line of the standings, takes “Shagadam” from the fifth position on its field. Ordinary teams playing from defense, meeting show their game at all, this is a minus to a minus gives a plus, and here, we believe in goal meeting
They’re going back to David Moyes after sacking Manuel Pellegrini, 18 months after they told the aforementioned Moyes that they weren’t renewing his contract because they wanted to go in a different direction. Anyways, ignoring the complete and utter mismanagement from above (and that brilliant ratio on the announcement tweet) this is still a squad that still has Andriy Yarmolenko Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini, Pablo Fornais and Sebasien Haller for attacking options.
The away side have won their last two games, which sees them on the up going into this clash. Despite that, they’re coming into this clash after a season of struggle. The visitors have had their troubles away from home, losing six of their nine away games this season. Strasbourg have scored just 0.56 goals per game on the road in Ligue 1, which could lead to trouble here.
Luton Town boosted their chances of remaining in the Championship with a victory over Hull City which leaves the Tigers' survival hopes out of their own hands. Kazenga LuaLua's low 20-yard strike with five minutes remaining pulled Luton level on points with 21st-placed Charlton Athletic, who drew with Wigan Athletic earlier on Saturday. The result leaves Hull three points adrift of both Luton and Charlton, although the relegation picture remains complicated by the Latics' possible 12-point deduction for going into administration.
71% of Zwolle’s home games have produced exactly four goals and a majority of Zwolle’s defeats (7) had a margin of two goals or more this season, while nine of AZ’s wins this season have been via a two-goal margin or higher, which is why we have backed a 3-1 win for the visitors this weekend.
Man City were the only team to stop Villa from scoring in their last nine Premier League matches, and Dean Smith's goal-hungry charges registered at least twice in six of those nine fixtures. However, a return of just one clean sheet during the same period shines a light on the topsy-turvy nature of Villa’s performances and results.
Both teams are struggling for form but need points from this game. Eastleigh are on the fringe of the relegation zone, while Dover still have a good chance of promotion. This may well not be a high-scoring game with both sides having problems scoring at present. A bet on under 2.5 goals in the game is the suggested bet.
There has been no decision made by the Arsenal board about a replacement, with Carlo Ancelotti, Nuno Espirito Santo and Mikel Arteta all linked with the job. I've said to them [the board] they need to make a decision," Ljungberg told Sky Sports. We are here to help and the staff are trying to chip in, but a decision has to be made so we can have the same resources as other clubs. When I say that, they say I have to wait and see.
More likely is that we pay Boca Juniors to cut short Alexis Mac Allister's season-long loan now that he has been given a work permit, but pitching a 21-year-old who has never played in Europe into a relegation battle would be a big risk. Before the end of 2019, Alireza Jahanbakhsh would have been first out the door but two goals in two games have earned him a reprieve. Leon Balogun, Gaetan Bong and Ezequiel Schelotto have all become surplus to requirements under Potter.
Liverpool defender Joe Gomez is "better than good" after a clash with England team-mate Raheem Sterling on international duty, says Jurgen Klopp. Manchester City forward Sterling was dropped for the Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on 14 November after "a disturbance in a private team area". But he returned for the qualifier in Kosovo three days later. The people involved were fine pretty quick.

Rights groups say about a million people - mostly from the Muslim Uighur community - are thought to have been detained without trial in high-security prison camps. China has consistently denied mistreating Uighur Muslims in the country and says they are being educated in "vocational training centres" to combat violent religious extremism. Secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain Harun Khan said Ozil's actions were "hugely commendable" and described Arsenal's decision to distance themselves from the 31-year-old German's views as "regrettable".
After it was passed, the league set up a taskforce of 15 representatives from clubs, chaired by Ann Budge of Hearts and Les Gray of Hamilton Academical, to examine league reconstruction to potentially prevent clubs from suffering the effects of relegation. The SPFL commissioned auditors Deloitte to review the circumstances surrounding Dundee's ballot, which found no wrongdoing on the part of the league's staff.
Meanwhile, whilst reaching the quarter-final of the Taca de Portugal ranks an improvement on Rio Ave's effort last season, it's highly likely to be as far as they go this year. Indeed, the visitors are big underdogs in Tuesday's game and are extremely unlikely to pull off what would be a huge upset.
This will be probably most efficient duel today in Europa Youth league and I will because of that take here over 3,5 what is pretty real to try. So, both this rivals are teams who are really playing very efficient for a long time and for me, it is pretty natural to expect same story and this time. Home team is in last six matches, played every time with three or more goals, while on the other side is team who is playing similar and in last match, they are lost against Liverpool U19 2-3. I believe in at least four goals here.

In fact, they’ve been lucky in a number of their victories, and have only won by more than a single goal twice on the road this season. Not only that, but they have required late goals in three of their last four away days to beat Aston Villa and Crystal Palace and to salvage a point at Old Trafford.
Today all eyes will be on Anfield. It will be another battle between two managers, Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti. The biggest question is can the Toffees throw a spanner in the works and avenge their loss earlier in the season? I think YES. The key reason is connect with Liverpool. Six important players remain out injured - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip, Xherdan Shaqiri, Naby Keita and Fabinho. The other regulars must be rested. That means Liverpool will play with B team. Harvey Elliott, Rhian Brewster, Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Nathaniel Phillips are all set to feature. Everton should take advantage from this situation. They are able to stay unbeaten at Anfield.
