We showed an improvement in the first half and we had a lot of opportunities to score but we did not take them," said the Spaniard, whose side have gone seven games without a win. The first five or 10 minutes of the second half were good but then we lost control and we could not change the result. We tried to come back but we did not create any big opportunities to score. I am being positive but I'm also realistic and we lost against a good opponent.

In fact, Potter has made them a tighter outfit, conceding 1. Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy were the mainstays in central defence back then, but this season it has been Dunk and £20m signing Adam Webster. Both acted as barricades on Sunday, repelling Burnley's physical attack and aerial assaults. Dunk was particularly outstanding and made a superb block to deny Kevin Long. With centre-back Ben White set to return to the south coast from a very successful loan spell at Leeds, expect Brighton to be even tougher to break down next season.
The Red Devils’ mauling of AZ is far from the most impressive result they’ve secured recently though. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was facing increasingly heavy pressure going into last week’s hosting of Spurs, but they put in a great display to deservedly win 2-1.

And with my older brother being a United fan, I feel like I have suffered enough down the years waiting for us to win the title again. Horne says his favourite current Liverpool player is Virgil van Dijk. He explained: "Watching them when I'm at Anfield, what really strikes me is how good he is. He would be first on my team sheet, and the last I would let leave too. If he went, I'd be distraught. All my kids want to be defenders now.
Burnley are hurtling towards the bottom three and have a tough fixture list in the coming weeks. They have lost seven of their last nine league games and four out of five at home. Their defence is struggling with 37 goals conceded in the league this season. Leicester aren't at their best but are still getting good away results with only one of their last seven away league games not being won. Go for an away victory in this game.
Saint-Pierre have won the Reunion Premier League for five consecutive seasons but this achievement easily surpasses that. To get this far the island amateurs had to defeat Ligue 2 side Niort 2-1 away from home in the last round. Overcoming a second-tier side is no easy task, especially when it takes an 11-hour flight just to get there. In the Saint-Pierre side at Niort was former Blackpool midfielder Elliot Grandin, who joined at the start of the season, having decided he wanted to try something different.

The Super Cup was a two-legged tie between the league champions and Copa del Rey holders but federation chief Luis Rubiales oversaw a dramatic shake-up last November, striking a three-year deal to play the tournament in Saudi Arabia. The federation has not confirmed financial details but Spanish media reports say the deal is worth around 40 million euros annually.
Their tried and tested shape is a 4-1-4-1, which is what they used when they went to Anfield earlier in the season and were only beaten by James Milner's 95th-minute penalty. They were unlucky to lose that day, and had plenty of possession - 49. James Maddison's goal came from their only shot on target. They only had one other effort at goal, while Liverpool had 18 in total. Leicester are at home this time and, given the circumstances, I am expecting them to pose far more of a threat.

An awful ball across his goal from Fabian Schar found Greenwood, given a start in place of Daniel James, and he rocketed a strike over Dubravka and in off the crossbar. Rashford nodded home a superb centre from Aaron Wan-Bissaka before the interval and then six minutes after the restart Sean Longstaff's attempted backpass, from just inside his own half, played in Martial who ran towards goal and dinked over the Newcastle goalkeeper.
Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Norwich City had already announced they will furlough some non-playing staff. Despite the fact we were in a healthy position prior to this crisis, our revenues have been shut off yet our outgoings remain," said Moore. And like almost every sector of society, there is great uncertainty and concern over our present and future. Like any responsible employer concerned for its workers in the current situation, the club continues to prepare for a range of different scenarios, around when football can return to operating as it did before the pandemic.
Both teams are not in good form. They had some mixed results lately. Paris have won 2 of their last 5 matches. They sit on 18th spot right now and bagged 16 points from 15 matches. They won 4 drew 3 and lost 8 matches this season. They are coming from an away defeat against Nancy by 2-0 goals.
Rochdale have lost two of their last three away matches. Rochdale have struggled to get this far having to go to replays to get past two non-league sides. Newcastle United fans aren't used to long runs in the FA Cup and haven't got past the fourth round since 2006. This season's campaign got off to a shaky start when they were held to a 1-1 draw away at League One Rochdale.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: West Brom 2-3 Newcastle highlights Newcastle have found the net in the FA Cup, however, scoring three against West Brom in midweek to reach the quarter-finals. I think that is significant. I am sure Steve Bruce will still set his side up like Scrooge, and their priority will be to give nothing away - but I also think they will have enough about them to nick it.
There were some Saints fans who questioned the wisdom of committing £20m to a player with Ings' injury record, something that was not entirely dispelled by an encouraging but inconsistent first season, that saw him score seven times but also miss a number of games with minor niggles. Such is his rejuvenation this campaign, supporters now balk at suggestions the striker may leave for anything less than twice the price, with Tottenham the latest club linked with a January move.
And I could just watch that backhand in action over and over again. I love the way he carries himself on and off the court. His calmness and composure is something I have always really admired. I remember watching him when I was younger and thinking, "This guy is playing in front of tens of thousands of fans, millions more around the world watching on TV, and he's just so cool, calm and collected".
Dortmund were finding it difficult to earn wins away from home at the beginning of the season. However, in recent weeks, they have rectified their poor away form. Dortmund have now won each of their last two Bundesliga away games. We feel that it is difficult to expect anything but another Dortmund win in Friday's game.
Merthyr Town will host Harrow Borough for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this season. Both teams have big fluctuations. I think, this is a very unpredictable match. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to get a positive result. I expect, Harrow will try to continue with the winning series. They have two consecutive victories. Also, we have Merthyr Town who's is really better team at home. However, they have highly variable results. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I expect, the visitors will try to pick up another one victory.
Video - Haaland available for just €20m… but that's BAD news for Man Utd – Euro Papers01:21 Aubameyang could quit Arsenal There are mounting problems at Arsenal following the departure of Unai Emery as manager. The Mirror claims that striker Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang could be set to leave after deciding to pull out of contract talks at the Emirates.
Real Esteli will host Juventus Managua for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts want to win. They probably want to get all three points. Esteli is one of the ambitious teams in this league. They are currently on the 2nd place with 27 points. True, they are not convincing team in the last matches. Also, we have Juventus Managua who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 7th place with 17 points. I believe, the visitors have a more offensive team. However, they have a vulnerable defense. In any case, both teams will try to score a goal. My pick: Juventus Managua to win.
Paper Round’s view: Mourinho loves experienced defenders, and with Alderweireld and Vertonghen together he has a pairing that can be used as he develops players like Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth. Extending Vertonghen’s stay also has the benefit of freeing up funds to be spent elsewhere, which will be useful if Christian Eriksen leaves for nothing in the summer.
Look at how many appearances and goals they've had, it's bonkers. We're so lucky to live in this era where we're seeing the football these two produce. To get to the top is one thing, but to stay there and have that hunger to keep on performing - I can't emphasise enough the dedication they must have to keep doing it year in, year out. Rivaldo Rivaldo scored a hat-trick on the last day of 2000-01, including a last-minute overhead kick, to ensure Barca beat Valencia and qualified for the Champions LeagueBallon d'Or (1999), World Cup, Copa America, Champions League, La Liga (2).
While global bragging rights are on the line, many Liverpool fans see the competition as a distraction, taking away focus from their domestic title chase. The competition also forced them effectively to forfeit their place in the English League Cup, playing a virtual youth team in their quarter-final against Aston Villa the day before they opened their Club World Cup campaign in Qatar.
They head into this clash in scoring form, having found the net in 89% of their league games this season. However, Fiorentina can rival them. The hosts have scored in eight of their last nine at home, while four of their last five have seen both teams score. The hosts have scored twice in 12 of their last 14 home meetings with Atalanta, while we’re backing them to add to that here. Both teams to score is our pick in this one.
Things will be very different on Saturday. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: Southampton are a team in form and Danny Ings is scoring tonnes of goals for them. Match preview Watford v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)Watford's bounce - or improvement in results - when Nigel Pearson first took charge is well and truly over now. They have only taken two points from their past five league games. I still see signs of a fight when I watch them, though, and they have got a very driven manager who will not let them give up on anything, which is why I would not write them off.
This was his time as he lived every second and Goodison Park lived it with him. It was a spectacular, thunderous afternoon as the old stadium rattled to the rafters and Ferguson reconnected Everton's team with a fanbase that had been losing hope with every passing week. Ferguson choked up on occasions on Friday as he described the emotion of being asked to manage the club - and his pride was just as unmistakeable after overseeing a 3-1 win over Chelsea with a side performing in his own image.
Manchester United suffered yet another setback in midweek as they lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi final, with their first half display widely described as their worst performance in years. In all honesty it could have been a much greater margin of defeat, and it once again casts looming shadows over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign at the club.
