With both sides so desperate for the result we should see quite an open game and we’re predicting that both teams will find themselves on the scoresheet this weekend. We can’t see a huge amount of goals though as both sides struggle for confidence but the open nature of the A-League and a willingness to improve by both Victory and Glory should see the both teams to score prediction come through.

Solskjaer's haul of 25 points from his first 10 league games as United boss was the best in Premier League history, but it has been a much bumpier ride since. Ljungberg could well arrest Arsenal’s poor run of form and put their top-four challenge back on track, he could well have the supporters on his side for months to come, but that does not necessarily mean it will be the right appointment.
Manchester United were the first to blot his copybook with a 2-1 win earlier this month at Old Trafford, but this home defeat by Chelsea, the club he led to three Premier League titles, was much more worrying, underlining the task he has taken on. Mourinho had never lost a home match against a previous club in any competition, winning 12 and drawing one, but his former midfielder Frank Lampard totally outwitted his old mentor in the coaching stakes as his Chelsea side dominated throughout.
In comparison, Espanyol are without a win in seven La Liga matches, following two draws and five defeats since the end of October. Periquitos have lost their last three La Liga outings on the road by an aggregate score of 8-1, and that's why they are rated outsiders at around the 3/1 mark for this Sunday's trip to the capital.

It's not pleasant to be a guest at Villa Park. ” - Jose Mourinho analyzes the situation of Tottenham. Notably, the away record of Tottenham under Jose Mourinho is very impressive. In every arena, Tottenham has only lost 2 times after 9 away from home, the rest are 3 won and 4 draws.

I always felt Jurgen Klopp was the right man to follow Sir Alex Ferguson because of his personality and managerial ability. But Manchester United spoke to him and he didn't want to leave Dortmund at the time. How he would have done at Old Trafford is impossible to say but United's loss is very much Liverpool's gain.

Interim head coach Hansi Flick has made an impressive start and Bayern have said he will be in charge "until further notice", although there is no indication yet of a permanent deal. Pochettino has all the credentials and the news of his sacking is sure to alert the Bundesliga giants. Will he return to the Premier League? It is hard to see which jobs would attract him. The next Premier League big one that might become available? Well, Unai Emery is under pressure at Arsenal.
Danish Super League and relegation round between Hobro and AC Horsens. The hosts in 26 matches accumulated 11 points less than guests and and the team has drawn 4 of the last 5 matches.

Arsenal, third in the league, through to the FA Cup quarter-finals and up against Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League, are still chasing a treble of their own despite missing out on the first piece of silverware up for grabs this term. However, their hopes of going the distance on all fronts has been hit hard by injuries, with the Gunners' Australian boss Joe Montemurro only able to name five substitutes for the final with Kim Little, Beth Mead and Lia Walti out injured as well as long-term absentee Danielle Carter.
Of course, he doesn’t really fit in with Lampard’s intense pressing style but given that a lot of teams appear to have worked out how to negate that system. Giroud, one of the best Plan B options around. Chelsea are struggling to get a lot of their attacking players outside of the striker involved at the moment - hardly surprising when none of them are at the level of Eden Hazard, who could create magic all by himself.
Both sides are in danger of relegation and whichever manager loses this game might just get the sack. Southampton games nearly always have over 2.5 goals scored in them and neither defence is going to win any awards. A bet on over 2.5 goals to be scored is the one to go for.

The Portuguese insists there is one factor required in his attempt to revive fortunes at Tottenham. Time. Only time," he said. One of the most difficult things in football is exactly that, to change mentalities. It's to change state of mind. It's to change the team's soul. It's one of the most difficult things in football. Sometimes you have incredible luck to have a majority of players adapted to these needs and some other times you have incredible players but the psychological profile is different or was built in a different direction.
We have said it many times, VAR will not end controversy because it's a vital part of football," Valverde told a news conference ahead of Barca's La Liga match at home to Alaves on Saturday.

I surely believe in plenty of goals in this match from Champions league and I will in any case try this option. So, Genk is team who is one of the weakest this season and they will surely want to beat rival from Austria after very bad first match in Salzburg, when they are lost even 6-2. Of course, at home this team surely can be better, but I in any case see here new win for guests, with plenty of goals. That is very real and I will in any case try that. Odds are very good really are.

Players in Leagues One and Two are wary of returning to football, Bristol Rovers midfielder Alex Rodman says. The English Football League has been suspended since mid-March because of coronavirus and clubs have yet to return to training.

It is the clubs who have made the decision today - the government said on Thursday that matches could continue for now. No-one, certainly not me, knows how long the current situation will last for. I don't see matches being played until the coronavirus problem has passed its peak point, which the medical experts said yesterday could be between 10 and 14 weeks.

It was an attacking line-up and some of the players and entertainment on show was fantastic. To have it taken away so late in the game, Kevin Keegan looked in agony. Kevin was never going to change his style of play. He wanted to go out and entertain the Newcastle public. He would always look to outscore the opposition. In some games you just have to sit tight and be organised but that is not Kevin and probably in the end that is what cost Newcastle.

The home team have been winning a lot of matches here and have been one of the harder teams to score against when they play at home. On top of this if you do score against them normally you cannot beat them as they have scored 3 goals or even more in a lot of matches at home. The away team have struggled here the past couple of times losing by big scores as they have been unable to stop the home team scoring over and over again when playing at this ground. Looks like another easy home win for the PSG

These pictures clearly document that LASK - despite the strict prohibition by the responsible ministries - are training with full physical contact.
Who would want to manage Arsenal? Being a football manager now is quite vile. Arsenal have got to shoulder the blame for that because it all started with AFTV. If you don’t get the result you want, the fans go and shout and scream and swear and it’s become a laughing stock. These ‘fans’ blurt something out so they can try to become famous and forget about it five minutes later.

Football's only here a short time, that's why you probably see a lot of footballers - more from our generation - do struggle with it. I've never spoken about it, I don't really feel it's anyone's business to talk about it, I'm quite private in what I do. Very few people know.

Why this came as a surprise to no-one - Valverde includedFor some time now, the 55-year-old Valverde has been spoken to by the movers and shakers at the club over matters that have been concerning them regarding the team's form. Many feel the side is going backwards, there are doubts being expressed about the physical preparation of the players and the substitutions during games, rumours of a charged atmosphere in the dressing room are rife and there seems to be a lethargy, complacency and general malaise about the place.
