Just look at that smile. Zero: Michael Oliver On Sunday, Oliver initially yellow carded Luka Milivojevic for a clash with Tom Huddlestone as Crystal Palace lost to Championship Derby, before doing what Premier League officials refuse to do and actually using the pitchside monitor to assist with a VAR decision and upgrading it to a red.
Leicester put nine past Southampton All three of Vardy's goals came in the second half of the 9-0 win at SouthamptonGiven how Southampton have played since the restart in June, it is hard to believe they were on the end of a defeat earlier in the season that almost went into double figures. Back in October, Leicester ran riot as Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy both scored hat-tricks in a 9-0 win. It was an embarrassing scoreline at the time and put the Saints into the relegation zone, but in many ways it proved the making of them.
They opened with a tight goalless draw against the Earthquakes before being beaten 2-1 by Chicago Fire. A reminder that the winners of this tournament qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League. The top two teams in each group go through to the last 16 round as well as the best four third-placed teams.

Going to the game, Inter have managed 45 points and Atalanta have 34. Inter heads to the match on the back of two straight wins. They have lost two and woin 10 of their last 15 matches, while they have scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 15. Inter have been so prolific upfront; in their last 15 matches, they have failed to score in just one match and they have been good defensively too, conceding two or more in just two of the last 15 matches.
The hosts have secured three wins in their last four matches, which they will hope can boost them going into this trip. However, those three wins have all come at home. That has been a familiar story for Rovers, who are lacking on the road.
The 2014 World Cup winner's fan club on Chinese search engine Baidu has been removed by its founder, who said in a statement: "In front of national interest, any individual hobby doesn't matter any more. On social media website Weibo, Ozil's account, which has four million followers, was still there on Monday morning, but there has been no update since 11 December. Geng said: "I don't know if Mr Ozil has been to Xinjiang himself - but it seems he has been deceived by fake news, and that his judgment was influenced by untruthful remarks.
Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla is set to join Qatari club Al Sadd. Cazorla, 35, played his last game for Spanish club Villarreal on Sunday and his contract has now expired. In joining Al Sadd, Cazorla will be managed by former Spain international team-mate Xavi, who has extended his deal at the club until 2021. We have reached an agreement with Santi Cazorla," Al Sadd tweeted. He will reach Doha soon to complete the formalities and join the team.
Lille is fighting once more for one of the European places this season after managing to qualify for the Champions League last season although they finished bottom a tough group with Ajax on 3rd and Valencia and Chelsea on the top two places in the end, last season they came here and conquered, taking all 3 points to home thanks to a 2-1 win in the end, and Dijon is scoring and conceding goals at this moment.
Whilst Corinthians may have scraped a Copa Libertadores place, it's not been a great season for them. They started off fairly well but have dropped like a stone in recent months, winning just 3 of their last 15 games and sacking manage Fabio Carille along the way.
The emotional strain such attention must have had on Rashford cannot be overstated. However, the England striker has worked his way back to his best and it was no better illustrated than by his goal and general work-rate against Crystal Palace. I've stood down Raul Jimenez and Alexandre Lacazette in my TOTW because of Rashford's performance against Palace. The way he sat Joel Ward down and sent another two players with him before he coolly slotted the ball into the back of the net was pure genius.
However, his manager Carlo Ancelotti still believes he can provide more. He is doing well but he is not enough," said the Italian. If he wants to be a top striker, he has to work more hard, focus hard, work more. He is doing well but he has to have the game to be focused all the time. Ancelotti also feels his side can improve defensively, and felt the performance was a step down from their recent displays, which had seen them take 11 league points from the last available 15 prior to Sunday.
Nonetheless, they can't be fancied at the prices to collect all three points here this Saturday despite Granada's recent problems, and with 16 goals conceded Alaves hold the joint worst away defensive record in the league which is a major concern.
All 23 teams in League One have between eight and 10 regular-season fixtures remaining. How might the final table have looked?What would have happened in League One if the season had not been interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic in March?Here at BBC Sport, we've tried to predict how things might have ended, with the help of Professor James Reade and Dr Carl Singleton from the University of Reading.
I believe Slavia Reserves and Torpedo Zhodino Reserves will share the points in this match. There are two reasons for my pick. The first is connect with the hosts. Slavia Reserves are not among the best, they have collected just 4 points and sit third from the bottom. But they stayed unbeaten last weekend playing 1:1 draw at Vitebsk. Danila Slesarchuk scored the goal on that match.
How might it influence the Olympics?Olympics talk banned at SheBelieves - NevilleTeam GB: What do we know?After the SheBelieves Cup, there are no more England fixtures before the Olympics in July. Neville will manage a Team GB squad in Japan consisting of players from Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and England. So will success for his English players enhance Team GB's chances in Tokyo?"A little bit because it gives you confidence and belief but ultimately you have got to peak at major tournaments," said Neville.
As it was, neither side looked particularly secure in defence as both forward lines wasted a host of opportunities throughout a competitive but at times wide-open derby contest. Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla produced two particularly important saves either side of half-time, first keeping out Steve Mounie's glancing header and then stopping Elias Kachunga's effort from point-black range. At the other end, Mateusz Klich struck the foot of the post after a well-worked corner routine and Helder Costa twice blazed over from inside the area.
We are guided by organisations and governments. When the stands are full, that's when it's your time to shine. That's why we do it, we're doing it for them.

dinamo Minsk is playing terrible since the season started, they have 3-0-5 score and they are closer to the relegation zone then to the top of the table but still at home they are very strong and which is even more important their defense is pretty good so I Think bad isloch offense is not going to be able to score any goals today and on the other side dinamo offense is surely not enough good to score more than two goals so for me surely under 2.5 goals and of course I want to recommend this bet to the anyone

Portugal were among the third seeded teams because of their relatively poor performance in the qualifiers.
But he’s not interested. Somewhere in London, Kane is crouched over, boot laces in hand, ready to tie them and charge back onto the pitch the moment the klaxon sounds. I’m not too far away, I’d normally hope to be back with the team in two or three weeks’ time," Kane told Tottenham’s official website.

It is of little secret that Europe’s premier competition is an obsession of both the club and its manager. Real, by contrast, are currently neck-and-neck with old foes Barcelona at the top of Liga. Guardiola will expect to improve on his already impressive record against Real, who are still mid-rebuild under Zinedine Zidane.
For the vast majority, a loss of income for two or three months is as threatening as for any other worker. The consequences for our industry will potentially turn ugly very quickly, so any co-ordinated action is very, very important. Baer-Hoffmann said that football had continued to grow during the 2008 financial crisis but the omens were not so favourable this time.
I'm not sure since when Hendo is involved in offensive set-pieces, usually for most of the time he was protection, so now we have found a way to involve him as well, and that he scores that goal is obviously incredible," said the German coach. He played an unbelievable game again tonight . While the players were all in "outstanding shape", there was still plenty to improve all round, the demanding Klopp added.
Aguero's prospective lay-off. He has a tendon problem in front - will be a few games out. He added: "We will miss Sergio. We have had some problems with injuries but we will wait for him and meanwhile we have [Gabriel Jesus] and [Raheem] Sterling who can play in that position. We will live without him for a while.
However, the likelihood of getting points against City seems slim. While Pep Guardiola's team have been subpar this season, they reminded everyone of their quality by destroying Liverpool 4-0 last week. The imperious Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in the world and he's been in tremendous form since the restart, scoring four goals in five matches.
COVID-19 has caused chaos across the sporting world with Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1 all suspended amongst others whilst in America all five major sports leagues have been put on hold. Man City v Real Madrid and Juventus v Lyon ties postponed as coronavirus causes chaos No immediate plans to suspend sporting fixtures in the UK - Johnson Three Leicester stars self-isolating after 'showing symptoms' of coronavirus The Warm-Up: End this farce now - the Premier League cannot go on Up until late Thursday evening the Premier League has been the elephant in the room, the sole major sporting league yet to make a statement.
Last time out, Ipswich rectified one of their issues by sticking away three goals. Unfortunately, another issue worsened, as they failed to defend with any sort of conviction, shipping five goals in the process. The Tractor Boys have now conceded eight in their last five, keeping just one clean sheet, while they've conceded eight in their last five on the road too.
GOAL! Sheffield United 2 (Lundstram 84) Bournemouth 1 Sheffield United might have won it! Mousset runs into the channel on the left and gets the ball to feet. He cuts it across the area to Lundstram, completely unmarked and ten yards out. He takes a touch to control it swiftly followed by a shot that slides by Ramsdale and finds the far corner! KEY STATS With 229 goals to his name, Billy Sharp is the top scorer in all four English divisions this millennium.
Norwich had defended resolutely and twice came close to taking the lead, but Liverpool's relentless romp towards a first English title for 30 years continued. Victory was their 34th in their last 35 league games and their 17th in succession. Norwich, for whom Alexander Tettey struck the woodwork in the second half, remain seven points adrift of 17th-placed Aston Villa who host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
We have to see that maybe during the winter period we can regulate a few things. So far Bayern have made no move on the transfer market. They finished 2019 strongly, with 11 goals in their last three league games to climb back up to third but they will need to pick up where they left off with Klinsmann eager to give his former club a run for their money.
Wolves are without a win in their last 10 competitive away visits to face Manchester United at Old Trafford (drawn two, lost eight) since a 1-0 win in February 1980. Manchester United have been taken to an FA Cup third round replay for the first time since 2012-13, when they eliminated West Ham at Old Trafford. Wolves have lost nine of their 10 previous FA Cup away third round replays, winning the other versus Oldham in 2007.
But we’re all realistic enough to know that it’s becoming less and less likely. Aberdeen's £2m boost & wage deferralsHearts 'not panicking' about relegation"The likelihood is Celtic would go on and win the league so maybe that decision - if we can’t get the league finished - might be easier to deal with, unless you’re a Rangers supporter, and I see a lot of common sense in that. Hearts owner Ann Budge has said her club, currently bottom of the top flight, will take legal advice if they are relegated because of an early finish to the season, believing there to be a "number of areas" to contest.
I never received any prejudice of any sort," says Morgan, who will be involved with one of Saturday's Football Pride seminars. Football became a sort of safe haven, because I knew there were other members of the LGBTQ community there to rely on or have my back if anything did happen. I came out to my parents at 18, and since then I've always felt supported in the game - not just by my own team, but by the fans as well.
Ultimately, although neither side has covered themselves in glory this season; Hamilton are clearly a weaker outfit than St Johnstone. They are a point behind them despite having played two games more and on paper; the visitors have a bit more quality than them in all areas of the pitch.

He has settled in great. History tells you that bringing in new signings from different leagues in January it is hard to know how they are going to settle," said United coach Michael Carrick. Is it going to be straight away or are they going to need some time? Certainly Bruno has fitted in great on the pitch and is as important around the pitch in the dressing room. He has got a real presence about him and the lads have taken to him well.
We are disappointed and frustrated so I understand the supporters. Emery rebuffed suggestions his tactical switches are compounding the club's problems. Last year we played well in a lot of matches with Lacazette, Aubameyang and Ozil," Emery said. When we use different systems it’s because the players are ready to do that.
Two teams did played four of previous five games between each other, with under 1.5 goals scored. They also had a single with three goals, and generally those duels are almost always very tough with no big favorite. Minsk is having very good youth school ad BATE is traditionally one of the best team in overall in the Belarus. They could have another tight game, for the difference of both start, and there should not be a big favorite for the victory here.
Odds are decent on the home win here given the fact that the hosts are clear league leaders as the rest of the pack is nowhere near close to challenge them for winning the title in this ending of the season, and they have kept clean sheets in all 3 league games after the break while winning both home games with 2-0 first with Hapoel Haifa and second with the other club from Haifa, 2nd placed Maccabi Haifa, while last round they settled for a 0-0 draw away from home at Beitar Jerusalem but they should get back to winning ways here.
