Southampton has been struggling this season. But the Saints are pleased that the team has managed 7 points in their last 3 games, which is only a point less than the performance of the first 12 matches. So Southampton have improved form, but it looks like it's going to be difficult to get all the spoils in this match.
Midfielder Scott McTominay, who has not played since the Boxing Day win over Newcastle having suffered knee ligament damage in the game, also trained but is not part of the squad. The diagnosis on striker Marcus Rashford and midfielder Paul Pogba was not as positive for United fans. When asked whether Pogba, who has been dealing with a recurring ankle problem, would return to training with the squad, Solskjaer said: "He's not anywhere near that yet.
The next immediate task of overturning a Champions League deficit against Manchester City might prove beyond them, especially with inspirational captain Ramos suspended, but the progress made by Zidane's team in this triumphant season suggests Barcelona's days of dominance in Spain are over. Manchester United maintained their relentless pursuit of a place in the Premier League's top four with a hard-fought win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Having worked with a number of clubs in the EFL, including Norwich before they were promoted, Zanetton said the £50m fund already offered to clubs is “a small amount, but a start”. He told BBC Sport: “Knowing some of these clubs quite well, it just doesn’t cut it. This is going to be disruption for a significant period of time. Like Wilson, he feels the Premier League can help with the financial fallout of the pandemic.

Indeed, ever since the departure of Marco Silva Everton have found themselves on the up. Duncan Ferguson managed to pick up five points from his brief three game spell in charge, and Carlo Ancelotti has led the Toffees to back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season.
Gallingly, Eddie Howe's men were beaten to nil in each of their last three top-flight matches by teams they would consider their peers. Brighton (0-2) and West Ham (0-4) both had little trouble in easing past the Cherries, while Watford's 3-0 win at the Vitality Stadium last weekend confirmed Bournemouth’s status as one of the prime candidates to be relegated in May.
Sergio Ramos scored the decisive spot-kick as Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 4-1 on penalties to win the Spanish Super Cup. The Real captain sent Jan Oblak the wrong way to secure the trophy after a goalless 120 minutes in Saudi Arabia. Saul Niguez and Thomas Partey missed their penalties for Atletico. Real Madrid had ended the game with 10 men after Federico Valverde was sent off in extra time for fouling Alvaro Morata when he was clean through.
Alexander Zverev hasn't dropped set in this tournament. Alexander Zverev has won his two previous meetings against Stan Wawrinka. Stan Wawrinka has dropped five sets so far in this tournament. Could this finally be the week when Alexander Zverev reaches a Grand Slam semi-final? The German is the seventh seed but only at the French Open has he made it to the last eight in a Grand Slam until this week.
The hosts haven’t just forced themselves into Italy’s top level in recent months. The Sardinians are putting together a home run which is the envy of most of the continent. Cagliari have earned 13 points in their last five home games in the top-flight: only four sides have done better in their five most recent home encounters in the top-5 European Leagues (15 points for Leicester, Juventus, Barcelona and Liverpool).
The team that did not seem unbeatable but the favourite in my eyes was Liverpool. They themselves were starting to be in a worse shape and had been eliminated. So yeah, we thought there was the possibility. After we know that in two matches, everything can be played but we had good feelings. Coman wants to finish the season, and reckons that a few weeks will be enough for the players to get back up to speed, adding that it has been nice to get back to training in small groups, something Bayern introduced recently.
No regrets over Juventus move for De Ligt Matthijis de Ligt has hit back at fellow countryman Patrick Kluivert’s claim that the young defender regrets his move to the Turin club. If a person like Kluivert says something like that, it might seem true, but it really is just his assumption. Matthijs De LigtGetty Images 13:00 – Real Madrid: Bale is the best player we have Despite Gareth Bale’s ‘Wales.
We have to make sure from the first second this is a different place tomorrow. We want to go as far as possible in the Champions League. Napoli are experienced, tactically strong, super players. Silva safe for now Marco Silva will still be in charge of Everton for their match at Leicester on Sunday, according to Sky Sports News.
Arsenal are coming from a disappointing showing, and home loss to Olympiacos in the Europa League and they know this is their only chance of silverware in the season. They meet a Portsmouth side with a very good home record and they will need to be at their best. Portsmouth have scored two or more in their last four FA Cup matches. While the hosts have good run, Arsenal have made massive gains in the FA Cup as well, and this being the best chance of winning anything this season, Mikel Arteta’s charges will give their all. Considering both sides’ scoring forms, we have reason to believe we will see over 2.5 goals here.
The Norwegian manager said after the 2-0 defeat to Arsenal: "But still it has got to be right, that’s the big point. If it’s available we’ll do something definitely. We are looking at one or two. The Sun also believes United will miss out on Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Video - Euro Papers: Liverpool worry as Real have 'first contact' with Mane01:04 Umtiti watches Arsenal game from stands The Mirror states that Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti was in the stands to watch Arsenal’s win over Manchester United.
I surely believe in goals in this match from Portuguese second league and I will try that option. I was wrote a lot of times about this amazing team, of course I mean on Benfica B, and I will repeat some facts. They are team who is playing without any pressure and they will continue that way and today, at least I believe in that. So, Benfica B is in last four matches played with four or more goals at home and in last one at home, they are won 4-0. It will be similar and in this one, I'm sure.
He began his career as a teenager in Italy at Cremonese, his local team in northern Italy, before successful spells at Sampdoria and Juventus. Speaking about his life as a player, Vialli said: "We produce memories and emotions. You can change a life by scoring a goal and give someone something to cheer so they forget all their problems. I was very lucky because I grew up Cremona which has been hit hard by coronavirus.
Paper Round's view: Blind could be a very shrewd signing from the Gunners this summer. He is a player that possesses plenty of quality, but once former Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal had left Manchester United, Blind fell out of favour at Old Trafford. He has proved his quality in the Champions League recently and his calmness, leadership and experience would certainly improve the Arsenal defence.

The 2007-08 squad was his third generation of title winners. Again, it was the start of three straight Premier League victories, and they also triumphed in the 2008 Champions League final against Chelsea in Moscow. Superstar forward Cristiano Ronaldo scored 42 goals that season, 31 in the league, and won the first of his five Ballons d'Or - but he could not have achieved it without the support of hardworking forwards Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez.
Opava is on last place on the table with horrible record on the road and before the break they went into a streak of 12 games without a road win and seven games without scoring a goal on the road, but I think that might change today and I think they might score a goal in this game cause Teplice does not seem to be in good shape since they lost from bohemians 4-0 on the road in first restart game but of course Teplice is much better team at home so I expect from them to score a goal too today
King has scored three goals this season, how is that supposed to help Rashford? In all reality all that would happen is he would become another attacking option who sadly wasn’t quite good enough. Plus at 28-year-old what difference is there between Solskjaer signing him and Jose Mourinho wanting Ivan Perisic or Willian? It is worth pointing out amidst all of this discussion about King just how many strikers United have targeted since Rashford got injured, it’s absurd.
Tebas expressed his opposition to such a proposal, however, citing the fact that Spanish clubs are owed 350 million euros in transfer fees, due to be paid by September 30. It's important these obligations are met, because if these European clubs don't pay Spanish clubs the Spanish clubs may not be able to pay other European clubs," Tebas told reporters via video link on Tuesday.
Mexican side Monterrey beat Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal 4-3 on penalties to equal their best performance at a Club World Cup with a third-place finish.

Monterrey fought back with two goals in five second-half minutes through Arturo Gonzalez' header and Maximiliano Meza.
The 25-year-old midfielder will now undergo a medical and agree personal terms with the club. It is understood that United will pay around £47 million as an initial fee, with add-ons over the rest of his time with the club depending on elements such as Champions League qualification. This is a saga that has now dragged on for three transfer windows, with United initially refusing to meet Sporting's valuation of the player.
As in their previous three games in the past 12 days, this was far from a seamless, free-flowing display, but it did illustrate that they have grit when required and enough guile for the Spaniard to harness going forward. With top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rested, senior responsibility in attack fell to Lacazette and record-signing Pepe and while the two only provided in flashes, they did combine for the opener.
Macclesfield Town have plenty to cope with off the field as their well documented financial plight led them to part company with boss Sol Campbell at the start of the campaign, and with a low budget to recruit players, most thought that it would be a long and arduous season for the Silkmen. However, they have managed to show plenty of resolve in the face of that adversity and come into this match in high spirits.

That is why I will be judged, if we don't win it in my final period here, that I will be a failure here. I know that. City have not made it beyond the quarter-finals of the Champions League under Guardiola and have been knocked out by Monaco, Liverpool and Tottenham in the last three seasons. On Sunday, Guardiola's side face a trip to Spurs for the first time since last season's Champions League last-eight first leg defeat.

If they go and win that one, that gives Frank more breathing space with the press. If he doesn’t win that game, it’ll be interesting to see what people start saying. Straight away, if Tottenham win, they go past Chelsea into fourth. UNITED MUST BACK UP BRIDGE WIN BY BEATING WATFORD It was another good result for Manchester United away from home on Monday night, playing three at the back, which worked for them and is a strength for them, but the most important match now is the one against Watford at home on Sunday.
However, I now feel as though I am being harassed. This is no longer solely affecting me, but affecting the health of my family and my young children too.

Being in the public eye does not make you immune to this.
They may not be in and among the top six at present, but that doesn't mean that Girona aren't one of the best home teams in the Spanish second division. Only one team has accumulated more home points than Juan Carlos Unzué's men, who've seven, drawn two and lost two at Montilivi.

That is what Bale has done throughout his Wales career: produce the moments which provide a nation with a lifetime's worth of memories. But his tournament was about more than football. Bale emerged as the team's statesman, speaking passionately about Welsh pride and with articulate confidence about his nation's blossoming on this grand stage. He will not have the chance to do so again this summer but, when Euro 2020 comes around next year, Bale will be Wales' great ambassador once more, a national hero.
In all honesty, this isn't the most appealing fixture from a betting point of view, though those looking to get involved can try 'Liverpool to Score Over 2.5 Goals'. Monterrey tend to concede goals; they've kept just one clean sheet in their last five. Moreover, they fact that they struggled to contain Al Sadd just a few days ago, conceding twice on route to a narrow win, doesn't bode well ahead of a match against a side with such creativity and firepower, and let's face it, Liverpool have notched three against better teams this season.
Nobody was chasing us, thankfully, or holding us. We didn't have to speak Farsi to get back into the country, but there was some moments where we worried we were not going to get out. The group had a private plane, which Rodgers said was crucial to getting out that morning.

He didn't just put in the knife, he turned it around to damage the Malmo fans even more. The statue has to be moved'The outrage is so prevalent in the city that it has created an unwelcome dilemma for the local authority over what they should do with the statue. Restore it, and the vandalism will likely continue unless resources are invested in tightening security, a move that isn't likely to go down well among taxpayers in a one-club football-mad city.

They start 2020 with a home game against Manchester United who are in fifth and only four points behind the final Champions League place.
