We know what he brings to the team, that's why we signed him, and now is the right time for him to return," Zidane told a news conference on Saturday ahead of the match with Celta. I'm very happy that he has returned. After three months out it's like we have signed a new player. We had to be careful with him, give him a little more time and not hurry him back, but he'll be with us tomorrow.
Sorry" 08:30 - 'But the title is over?' "But the title is over?" Pep Guardiola said with a smile after Man City's 4-1 win at Burnley. From what I read, nobody gives us a chance. It's done. I don't believe it but it's not about if I don't believe it or not. Our team is stable, but with the distance we have to Liverpool, it would be a little bit crazy to think about the title, honestly.
13th day of the highest German football series. I honestly disagree about the odds here. I don't understand why guests can be so disadvantaged. Cologne has so far shown that it does not have a well-equipped team for the new category. They won only 7 points while the guests after a bad start to the season, now they have been able to reverse the course and played good matches in the last rounds, gaining heavy points. Cologne at home has won only one race out of 5 and won against the poorest one which is Paderborn. The guests lost a single match in the last 5 and lost it against a strong team like Schalke.
Prostejov is actually not that bad, they are quite solid in defense as I saw them coming close to winning away from home at Chrudim where they opened the scoring late but were drawn equal even later as it ended in a 1-1 draw. But really it is mostly a bet against Hradec Kralove who have won very few games in the league after the restart and have small chances at this point to get 3rd place, they do need the win reason why odds are so low on the away win but their performances are not convincing enough.
United said in a statement carried by multiple British media outlets: "Manchester United Football Club have tonight been made aware of the incident outside the home of one of our employees. We know that the football world will unite behind us as we work with Greater Manchester Police to identify the perpetrators of this unwarranted attack.
When you have something and someone takes it away you don't like it. You can be on both sides but unfortunately this happens more times for us. Had Boly's goal stood it would have been the first time Wolves had opened the scoring in a Premier League game since their 2-2 draw at Brighton on 8 December. I don't understand it and I don't think anyone else does'Wolves captain Conor Coady has previously claimed VAR is "not working" and is "confusing" for players.

Ancelotti, 60, who won the league and FA Cup double with Chelsea in 2010, is available after being sacked by Napoli, with former Everton boss David Moyes and Unai Emery, sacked by Arsenal on 29 November, also in the frame. Another thought to be in contention is Arteta, who has been assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and has also been linked with the Arsenal vacancy. I don't want to get drawn into names, but all these guys are fantastic managers - great, great managers," said ex-striker Ferguson, who had two spells at Goodison as a player between 1994 and 2006.
SARRI SAYS "ALMOST BLASPHEMOUS" TO LEAVE OUT DYBALA Juventus coach Maurizio Sarri said his decision to omit Paulo Dybala from the starting line-up against Fiorentina was "almost blasphemous" but added that he was spoiled for choice. We have so many strong attacking players and can’t use them all at once.
They have however avoided defeat in their last two away MLS matches, beating Nashville 2-1 in their last away match after a 1-1 draw with Montreal Impact earlier. Only three clean sheets have come in their last 10 away league matches, the more reason they will want to summon a better defensive approach here.
Italian coach Ancelotti won the league and FA Cup double in his first season as Chelsea boss in 2009-10 before he was sacked by the club at the end of the next campaign despite securing a second-placed league finish. When asked what sort of welcome Ancelotti is likely to get as he prepares to face Chelsea for the first time, Lampard said: "A very good one.
He told reporters: "You know him [Jose Mourinho] better than me. He was many years here in different clubs. An incredible manager and I’m pretty sure he’ll do a good job. I was a little surprised with Mauricio [Pochettino] because he had done an incredible job and the club was doing better. Always the managers when they leave it is to know if the club and team are better than when they take over and I think it happened.
The Warm-Up isn’t going to call this as an inevitable failure. But we’ve been trying to think of another managerial appointment so manifestly inappropriate, from a fans’ point of view. And then we stopped trying, because every Spurs fan on Twitter knew the answer already. Buckle up for George Graham 2: This Time, It Was Chelsea.
The former Barcelona midfielder, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, was arrested on March 6 with his brother and business manager Roberto Assis. They were accused of possessing adulterated Paraguayan passports. A lawyer for Ronaldinho and Assis has said their detention was "arbitrary, abusive and illegal.
Neman is near the top of the league, with good performances and well record 3-1-1. They are playing well, having to bigger up and down going in the league. This could be potentially tough task for the host, since Energetic is not such a weak side, as results may be showing currently.
Antonio sets the toneWest Ham manager Moyes needed a big performance to turn around their fortunes in an increasingly fraught battle to avoid the drop. And when he was needed, Antonio stepped up with a performance of determination and quality as he led from the front to see off the challenge of Chelsea as they chase a place in the top four. Antonio was a potent mix of skill and power, a central figure as he was controversially adjudged to be in Kepa's eyeline when West Ham's first goal was disallowed, then scoring their equaliser before leading the counter that led to Yarmolenko's winner.
It is with that in the forefront of the league's mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend. While [we] understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken. The league also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested while the many unknowns remain.
But, having conceded late on in normal time, Kilmarnock were suckered again in the most painful fashion as the travelling support cascaded down the stands in joy. Considine, who grew as an attacking force throughout the game, fired in a low cross which cannoned off young substitute Johnson and into the net. It was a punch in the gut for Kilmarnock, as the 5,000 home fans immediately traipsed out. As for Aberdeen, it was the great escape that might just have saved their season.
Branescu was proving a stubborn barrier and, when Kilmarnock's Alan Power forced Allan McGregor into a save on the break, Gerrard responded by sending on Morelos for Defoe. The Colombian's 28th goal of the season was to follow soon after as he finished off a sweet passing move involving Ryan Jack and Joe Aribo.
With some strong form behind them at home, Cardiff are hoping to prove themselves as a credible playoff contender. As usual for the second tier, there are plenty of sides who are in the running to make the playoffs. They will be whittled down in the coming weeks and months, but will Cardiff be in the mix?
Fernandes sends message to Sporting fans The Mirror reports that Bruno Fernandes may have sent a message to Sporting Lisbon fans on Saturday night. The 25-year-old Portuguese international scored for his current side and sent a kiss to the fans while covering his ears. The paper believe it means that Fernandes is ignoring speculation as he has been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent days.
Their most recent game saw them take on bottom-of-the-table Belshina, with the game ending 1-1. It looked like being a goalless draw but Belshina took an 80th minute lead through a Sergei Glebko penalty. It was the 90th minute when Smolevichi got their equalizer, through a Barusakov penalty. That made it two draws in a row but four without a goal from open play.
Singh's heritage and, the fact that he is at such a renowned club in Bayern Munich, has put him on a pedestal for young South Asian footballers. Being in Germany, Sarpreet perhaps may not even realise the magnitude of his achievement," said Baljit Rihal, founder of the Asian Football Awards. He is a role model that provides inspiration and confirmation of the possibilities for aspiring South Asian footballers globally.

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.

They have failed to score in just one of their last 15 matches and their matches have yielded over 2. Leicester have managed six clean sheets in the last 15 matches and they have conceded two or more goals in three of the last 15 matches.
We’re confident that Braga will win-to-nil on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts head into the game as the clear form favourites and having outplayed their guests in all departments this season. Pacos Ferreira have really struggled on the road so far this season, no just for points but also for goals.
Neman Grodno will host Torpedo BelAZ for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, Torpedo BelAZ have great results in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 18 points. Also, the visitors are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. In previous game Torpedo is won 3-1 against Gorodeja. Also, we have Neman who's is not very good team in this season. Neman is one of the teams of relegation zone. They are currently on the 14th place with 8 points. Of course, the hosts have a very difficult task. In any case, they have the motivation to change their positions. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result. My pick - draw.
The hosts are one of the most defensive minded teams in Egypt, they defend at home even against weak opponents for example Wadi Degla who had really poor results in this start of the season came here and dominated the game from start to finish even missing a penalty kick just before half-time while in the second half they got a well deserved goal and won the games with odds on the away win being 4.00 in that fixture, as Arab simply can not dominate games with their tactics.
It is going to be hard for the Hammers, though, because Chelsea are looking good at the moment and Christian Pulisic has been quality. The pace they have got in their attack is unreal. THURSDAY Sheff Utd v Tottenham (18:00 BST)Sheffield United are another side who have lost their cutting edge - which is something I thought would be an issue when they first came up to the Premier League. I thought the Blades had Championship-level strikers who would struggle to score when they made the step up.
GMT unless stated): Saturday, Dec. Everton v Chelsea (1230) *Nine out of Everton's 10 wins in 54 Premier League meetings with Chelsea have come at home, including a 2-0 win in March. Everton have kept a clean sheet in their last three league matches against Chelsea, who are looking for their first win at Goodison Park since 2017.

Tottenham and England striker Harry Kane insists he will be fit for Euro 2020 and hopes to return next month. The 26-year-old has not played since rupturing a tendon in his left hamstring at Southampton on 1 January. The severity of the injury necessitated surgery, leading to concerns about the England captain's involvement in Euro 2020, which begins on 12 June. But Kane said: "Unless something pretty drastic happens between now and then, I'll be there.
I think I'm fitter than I've ever been and it's the most consistent I've been playing and playing well since when I got my first knee injury. Injury has been a constant feature in the career of Welsh, the first coming seven years ago when at Everton and then twice more in the space of two years at Villa, resulting in a combined time of almost three years spent on the sidelines.
Just over a week after that famous night against United, Matheson turned 17. That meant he could sign a professional contract. That was a very, very proud moment for me, that was when I could officially call myself a professional footballer. It's a dream every little boy has to be a footballer, to be one of the very few that get that opportunity, it's amazing.
The German arrived at Anfield in October 2015 following the sacking of Rodgers and with the club 10th in the Premier League. He arrived with a record of success, having led Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and the 2013 Champions League final, and with a reputation for fast-paced, high-pressing attacking play, which he described as "heavy metal football". The club has not only seen an improvement in its style of play but also its results, with his four full seasons to date yielding finishing positions of fourth, fourth, second and now first.

They have also kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In attack, St. Etienne have done well, scoring in nine of the last 10 matches. They are unbeaten in the last six home matches, but only two wins have come from these. In the last nine home matches, St. Etienne have two wins and one loss.
The win was very necessary for us. Victory was even more necessary for counterpart Scott Parker, who has all but given up hope of making the top two. The Fulham boss said: "It is going to be a big ask to go up automatically, but I wouldn't write it off because the unexpected could happen with the way the division is and games are.
Uerdingen and Meppen will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Uerdingen this season have the following results: 12W, 6D and 10L. Meanwhile Meppen have 11W, 9D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Our correct score prediction settles on a 1-1 draw however. Sheffield United's record of six draws from eight on the road and their habit of picking up points in singles away from home doesn't look like breaking anytime soon, while Brighton’s run of just one loss in six at home highlights their own strengths and knack for collecting points on their own patch.
I really like the odds for the over bet here and I say this because they are like this because neither have been playing high scoring games since the restart but make no doubt about it Nurnberg despite drawing 3 games in a row they are quite weak in defense only drawing 2-2 away at Regensburg lately, they were also quite attacking minded away at St. Pauli but had the bad misfortune to receive a red card and ended up losing with 1-0 in the end.
