Northampton beat Crewe 4-1 at home last time out and occupy the last of the playoff places in league Two as a result, while Grimsby made it seven games without a win when they drew 1-1 at home in the FA Cup against Newport County in their last match.
United, who defeated City 2-1 in the league earlier in the campaign, have not managed the double over their derby rivals since the 2009-10 season when Alex Ferguson was in charge. Despite a 1-1 draw against Everton last time out, United will fancy their chances, buoyed by the form of January signing Bruno Fernandes who has bagged three goals and two assists in all competitions since his debut last month.
Swiss football federation president Dominique Blanc says he is "reasonably comfortable" after testing positive for coronavirus. The 70-year-old, in quarantine at home after having a sore throat and cough, added: "I only feel mild flu symptoms.

RB Leipzig have scored only 3 goals in the last 4 Bundesliga matches but 3 of the 4 games were away from home. At home RB Leipzig are the second most productive team in the league scoring at least 2 goals in the last 8 matches. However, they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 of the 13 games at home this season.
If City play anywhere near as well as we know they can, they will have too much firepower for the Blades. I am not expecting United to make life easy for them, because they will be solid and well organised, and they are a clever side. But the teams who have beaten City at Etihad Stadium this season - Wolves and Manchester United - undid them using absolute pace, and Chris Wilder's side do not have that in their attack.
With Juergen Klopp opting to rest his senior squad for the replay during the Premier League's winter break, Milner, 34, took it upon himself to get heavily involved in the young side's buildup to the clash at Anfield, which Liverpool won 1-0. He trained with us yesterday and he asked whether he could come along.
The Scots were 3-1 up at that stage, Kris Boyd having scored twice in his first 43 minutes of international football and McFadden adding a third. Despite his tiredness, it took Burke just two minutes to finish a composed move with a delightful lobbed volley - "I think that was my first touch' - before he bundled in another late on. The Bulgarians - like Scotland - had finished third in their World Cup qualification group, but McCulloch remembers "running all over the top of them" and thinks it is the best the side played in any of his 18 caps.

In the Premier League, that run extends back to 2017 across 50 matches. If they avoid defeat against Sheffield United on January 2 they will have gone a full year unbeaten in the league both home and away. They have won 27 of their last 28 Premier League games and dropped only two points so far this season.
Breidablik without doubt are the top team in Iceland right now not just because of their good performances this season but their all round consistency over the years. They play a very attractive brand of football that often results to high scoring games at home and I always back them to get the goals especially at home. In their first games after restart they have blown away teams they met with good attacking possession football. In this time they face league two opposition in form of Keflavik .
Other teams had significant moments - Sir Alex Ferguson would close his glittering Manchester United reign with two more Premier League crowns in 2011 and 2013, while Leicester shocked everyone to achieve arguably the most remarkable league triumph of them all in 2015-16. The Foxes were one of only four sides other than Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United to win a major domestic trophy during the 2010s.
ROME, March 17 (Reuters) - Tuesday is decision day on soccer's European Championship but if the coronavirus epidemic forces it to be postponed until next year, as is widely expected, it will be only the first of many such calls to be made on the sport's ravaged calendar. European soccer's governing body UEFA is holding a teleconference call with all 55 member associations on Tuesday and, amid pressure to find time to complete the major domestic leagues that are all currently suspended, shifting the Euros back a year looks the most obvious first step.

We had the belief before that game that we could go toe-to-toe with them. I think that we have improved this season and that probably in my first game there away last season - when we lost 1-0 - was the only time that we haven't gone toe-to-toe with them. I think that every game has been tight. Obviously, we have won some and we've lost some, but I've never felt like we've been completely outmatched or outplayed.
Shirak will host Lori for this fixture of the league. I think, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result in this match. True, both teams have a poor results. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Shirak is very average team in this season. However, the hosts are in poor shape in the last matches. On the other hand Lori is also very average team in this league. True, Lori is not very good team away from home. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. After all, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.

However, so many of those games have been decided by the odd goal. As long as the scoreline remains narrow opposition sides still have a chance and Celta Vigo took that chance this evening. Zidane’s side must find a way to win matches more convincingly between now and the end of the season. MAN OF THE MATCH - Rafinha (Celta Vigo) The former Barcelona man has the quality to harm most sides in La Liga and he demonstrated as much with this performance at the Santiago Bernabeu.
More than two-thirds of the way has passed and La U Universitarios and Santos de Guapiles are sharing the last 2 places on the chart. However, they are not too worried because the Costa Rica league this season has no name to relegate. With home advantage, the La U Universitarios is a little more appreciated is also understandable. But the owner only accept the price, handicap level according to the writer is not satisfactory for La U Universitarios. But do not forget that the performance of La U Universitarios against Santos de Guapiles is not good. La U Universitarios are not bad at home and they have not lost in the last 6/7 round and won 2/3 recent matches.

Backing a shock in the FA Cup can be a risky but potentially rewarding gamble. We think Brentford have enough quality to at least test Leicester, if not knock them out. Watkins is the top scorer in the Championship and his movement always gives him a chance to add to his tally for the season. We think he's a good bet to score anytime against a Leicester defence that kept two clean sheets in their last 11 matches.
To say it has been an eventful four months for Luke Matheson would be an understatement. If you recognise the name, it's probably because he was the 16-year-old Rochdale defender who scored a brilliant equaliser to take Manchester United to penalties in his side's Carabao Cup defeat in September. On Tuesday, Matheson's League One club take on another Premier League side when they visit Newcastle United in an FA Cup third round replay.

Winners of just one of their last five league games, Wimbledon have started to move in the wrong direction of late. They've lost three of their last five and as such have fallen to a rather unflattering 20th position. The Dons are now just two points above the drop-zone.
Sporting score an average of 2.00 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.40 goals and Moreirense score an average of 1.00 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.83 goals, all of which coincides with our prediction for a 2-1 scoreline in favour of Sporting.

All things considered, we see good value in backing Huddersfield on the Draw No Bet line and are happy to do so with maximum confidence. Wigan haven't won since mid-October and thus; whilst at worst Huddersfield should be able to avoid defeat, given they've won half of their last 6 Championship away games, we fancy them to run out 1-0 winners.
Both Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow do not have their biggest strengths in the Champions League. This is well depicted by their placing in Group D standings. This match is more of a fight for a Europa League place, than advancing to the next round. While Lokomotiv won in Germany, Bayer Leverkusen’s win over Atletico shows their quality on a good day. Both sides however have shown frailties in defence and not in attack. We are backing both sides to score here and we feel a bet of over 2.5 goals will do.

I think they are working really well," the Spaniard said. They have a very good team, also a very good coach and they are very well organised on the pitch. They have a very, very good generation of young players, not only Akram - he's one of the best - but also Almoez Ali, Boualam Khouki. I think they're working really well and can compete in 2022 for sure.
