I didn't even know who he was. Ouch. Football may have ground to a temporary halt but it doesn't look as though the animosity between Graeme Souness and Paul Pogba will be stopping any time soon. It's probably fair to say former Liverpool, Blackburn and Newcastle manager Souness isn't the biggest fan of the 27-year-old Manchester United midfielder. A long-time critic, the ex-Scotland midfielder, 66, has previously called Pogba "selfish" and suggested that, for the Frenchman, it's all about "how cool he looks" and "how clever he is".
Juventus is playing much better in the moment, and they are at the playoff place after bad run and position near the bottom. They are coming here after the win in the recent round, and will try to get another well performance. Jalapa was in the upper league in this part of the season, but they are easy going down now. Team is not having such a wide roster, and they cannot maintain same level.
Juventus Managua will against Walter Ferreti in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win or draw for Walter Ferreti. Walter Ferreti have better result on last 5 match in league due to Walter Ferreti have won in 3 match and 2 match is lose. Meanwhile, Juventus Managua have also good result on last 5 match in league due to Juventus Managua have won in 1 match, 3 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Walter Ferreti can beat Juventus Managua due to Walter Ferreti have better result on last 5 match in head to head. Walter Ferreti have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose.
We’re confident that Peterborough will win on Saturday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites against a Bolton side that have lost six of their seven away games this season. Peterborough have been strong at home and of late have been scoring goals and keeping clean sheets which bodes well heading into Saturday’s clash.
This is a match from Egypt elite league where I hope that we can see at least two goals and with a little luck and more than that. In last two matches in league, Santa is not played too good and they are won in those duels, just one point, 2-2 and 0-2. On the other side, ENPPI is in much better form than rival and this is a team who is without defeat in more than ten matches in a row. In last two, this team is won 2-1 and 2-1. As I said before, at least two goals are very real.
MONDAY’S BIG STORIES Let’s be honest: Manchester United are not back… See alsoMatchcast: Manchester City v Manchester United …but they are not as bad as they appeared three or four weeks ago. That is what two big wins against two big rivals will do. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had looked a manager out of his depth managing a side out their depth.
We’re confident that both teams will score and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of Oxford United. The visitors arrive as the clear form favourites and could move into the top six with a win. Southend have only picked up five points from their opening seventeen matches and have lost eight of their nine league games at home, so you can see why we’ve backed an away win this weekend.
The home side suffered 3 defeats in their last 5 matches. They sit on the bottom of the table and they are the worst team of the league. They have managed 11 points from 14 matches this season. They recorded 3 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in this season. Their defense is so weak that they have conceded 32 goals while scoring only 17 goals. On the other hand, Steyr have remained undefeated in their last 4 matches. They have drawn 2 and won 2 of them. They are playing some good football and I expect them to avoid defeat here.
When Lampard learned about the song which included an offensive term, his message to fans was clear: "I don't want to hear that. In 2017, Romelu Lukaku asked Manchester United fans to stop singing a song about him that Kick It Out said was "offensive and discriminatory". The club said "action would be taken against any offensive behaviour". Brown says the best way to stop chants would be to enact the three-step protocol used by Uefa during England's game with Bulgaria, where players were targeted with racist abuse.

Since their victory over Manchester City on 27 December, they have failed to muster more than four shots on target in any game. Wolves have now also conceded first in an unrivalled 15 league games this season, including the past six in a row. And while they huffed and puffed, particularly in the closing stages, a victory against Newcastle would have flattered the hosts, despite their recovery from another sluggish start.
If you can't be a professional footballer, then being a professional virtual footballer is a pretty good second best. Ryan Pessoa is one half of Manchester City's eSports team, who this weekend will attempt to win this Fifa's eClub World Cup in Milan. I never thought I'd be doing this as a job, it's a dream come true," says 21-year-old Pessoa, who likens his playing style to City's Belgian midfielder Kevin de Bruyne.
With everyone predicting another 6-0 battering like last season’s FA Cup final, Villa pulled one back through Mbwana Samatta’s fine header. What followed was a spirited performance by Villa, a victory for City by the slenderest of margins. If Claudio Bravo hadn’t have pulled off the best save of his City career.

Liverpool ran away with their first top-flight title in 30 years, but how do they compare with the best Premier League teams?BBC Sport has drawn up a shortlist of 10 title-winning sides and we want to know where you think Jurgen Klopp's 2019-20 team rank. Are they better than the Arsenal "Invincibles", Jose Mourinho's first Chelsea team, Manchester United's Treble winners or Pep Guardiola's Manchester City record-breakers? Vote for the team you think is the best at the bottom of this page.
Vitebsk are unbeaten in three of their last four games. They won their last home against gorodeya. They will face dinamo Brest who are unbeaten in three of their last four games. On the road Dinamo Brest are unbeaten in their last thirteen games and won eleven of them including BATE. Vitebsk have won twice in their last six home games. In their previous h2h Dinamo Brest have won four of their last five games against Vitebsk.
Pep Guardiola will probably view this game as the ideal tonic for a bad couple of weeks. The ban aside, City will be concerned about their poor finishing this season. They come into this game on the back of successive matches in which they have failed to score, the first time this has happened during Pep's reign.
Manchester United have triggered a clause to extend midfielder Nemanja Matic's contract by one year. The 31-year-old, whose three-year contract was due to expire this summer, is also in talks with the club over lengthening the deal even further. Matic's recent form has encouraged United to extend his stay to 2021 and the Serb could remain beyond that. Matic has made 109 appearances for the Old Trafford club since joining from Chelsea in a £40m deal in 2017.
The visitors have major issues in front of goal, having scored just seven times on the road. Derby have failed to score in each of their last four trips. They’ve shipped 18 goals in return, while the Rams have averaged only eight shots per game on their travels, so they don’t create nearly enough chances. That could lead to a defeat in this clash with a Blackburn side who have found the net in 90% of their home games, while they’ve won three on the bounce here.
Barca were given permission to sign a forward player following an injury to France international Ousmane Dembele, but the rules have been accused of unfairly favouring the champions as Leganes cannot themselves sign a replacement. Barca matched the Denmark striker's contracted €18m release clause, meaning Leganes had no say over whether or not he left.
Liverpool's recent 2-0 win over Aston Villa was their 24th consecutive home win in the league, a record that they look to extend for the foreseeable future. They won the reverse fixture against Burnley 3-0 earlier in the campaign, their first clean sheet against Burnley in several seasons. Liverpool have been brilliant in general in defence this season, particularly at home, where they kept seven clean sheets in their last nine Premier League matches.
Chelsea's performance against Crystal Palace on Tuesday sort of summed them up for me at the moment - they were good going forward, and they were very average at the back. That is just the way Frank Lampard's side are right now. As dangerous as they look in attack, you can get at them too. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Scotty's prediction: I've never seen a team overachieve as much as Sheffield United have done this season.
In terms of our correct score tip, we think that the scoreline could have a pretty comfortable look to it. The hosts have scored in 90& of their home matches and have an average of 1.8 goals per game at Bloomfield Road this season. Meanwhile, the visitors have failed to score in two thirds of their away matches this term and average just 0.56 goals per game on the road. With this in mind, we are backing a 2-0 home win.
It was their first league title in the Premier League era. Given the novelty, one can understand Sir Alex Ferguson's good grace in letting the Blues have their day at Old Trafford. The Manchester United manager may not have realised though that he would be entering into a proper power struggle and that it would be 2007 before he won another title. Either way, the United fans in the Stretford End were not so welcoming and Chelsea were roundly booed onto the pitch.
A fine strike by Jamal Lewis clinched a shock win for the Premier League’s bottom club against a Leicester City side who struggled without their talisman Jamie Vardy. See alsoNorwich City v Leicester City - LIVE Premier League updates Leicester grew into the contest after a slow start and thought they’d made the breakthrough four minutes into the second half when Kelechi Iheanacho, the man deputising for Vardy, guided a brilliant shot into the bottom corner from outside the box – only for VAR to rule it out for handball.
He is the third longest-serving manager in England's top four divisions, behind Wycombe's Gareth Ainsworth and Eddie Howe, the man the 49-year-old replaced at Burnley in 2012. He has a contract to 2022 and has the kind of authority not afforded to every Premier League manager. Yet the feeling persists he might be coming to the end of the line at Turf Moor. Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Burnley 1-1 Wolves 'Dyche is a totalitarian manager'When football restarted a month ago, Dyche talked round intense speculation about his future but at no stage did he say he would be staying.
English Premier League. Team AFC Bournemouth will play at home with team Watford. Both clubs are in the bottom of the table. Team Watford have improved their form, winning three and drawing two in their last five league and Cup matches. Team Bournemouth have lost three and drawn once in their last 4 matches. They have failed to score goals in three of those games. Guests now have a good shape. They won with Man Utd in this season. It is opportunity today for them to take gold points. I recommend to try this bet for good odds with me .
He’s friendly and upbeat, yet nobody’s fool. He’s modest yet charismatic. And he’s a nice guy with an edge. Would you clap in Stuart Pearce’s face after he scored an own goal, as Solskjaer did in 2001? “I had the eye of the tiger,” he said. I wasn’t as nice on the pitch as I am off it. It’s sometimes forgotten that it was Solskjaer who effectively ended Beckham’s career at Old Trafford by developing into a high-class right-winger – an excellent crosser, if not in Beckham’s class, and a Thomas Muller-style space invader who provided a superior goal threat.
Al Riffa have three losses in their last five away matches in the league. Muharraq have nine straight wins. Muharraq are unbeaten in 11 league matches at home. Three of the last four meetings between these two sides have yielded over 2.5 goals. Al Riffa have managed just two clean sheets in the last 11 away league matches.
The home side's major creative force throughout. The right back's delivery is quite sensational and he chipped in with another couple of assists here to help his team towards yet another victory.

Blackburn and hull city sit within the same region on the championship log with Blackburn performing better than its opponent hull who have lost 4 out of their last five games. Goals have not been highly forthcoming among the two teams but a guarantee of at least two goals on this game is a probable prediction that is achievable .Blackburn welcome the struggling hull with only four points seperating these teams with Blackburn not wanting to drop points while the struggling hull seeks redemption by a win over Blackburn to kickstart their recovery. This will be a high scoring game
There were wins for Chelsea,Wolves,Crystal Palace and Newcastle. Goalkeeper - Alisson (Liverpool) This was no ordinary Merseyside derby. Liverpool are on the verge of a long-awaited Premier League title and were planning a big party on Wednesday night at Anfield. Everton, on the other hand, were desperate to delay the celebrations. In fact, they almost crashed the party. Two magnificent saves by Allison, from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, which under normal circumstances would have been quite ordinary, proved crucial.
Getafe's overall away record in La Liga this term is only fair with three wins, three draws and two defeats from eight, but that's largely due to the indifferent start which they had in the opening weeks of the season.
Four Premier League games will be broadcast, free to air, live on BBC Sport when the season resumes. It is the first time since the Premier League's inception in 1992 that games will have been shown live by the BBC. On Thursday it was announced that the league is set to restart on 17 June, subject to government approval. This opportunity creates an historic moment for the BBC and our audiences," director of BBC Sport, Barbara Slater said.
Official LGBT+ supporters' groups of both clubs -- Pride of Irons and Chelsea Pride -- said on Twitter that they had witnessed continuous discriminatory chanting directed towards Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge and reported it to West Ham. The BBC said on Monday that the Metropolitan Police were contacted on social media and are conducting enquiries.
In defence, Antonio Rudiger is serviceable but not much more, standing out because of the poverty around him rather than his own excellent, while Cesar Azpilicueta remains steady, but is a shadow of the stalwart who has been so good in previous seasons. He found it hard to cope with the pace and cleverness of Bayern’s attackers – understandable in a way – but that is going to get more acute, not less.
At 22 years and two months old, he is the fourth youngest player to reach the landmark for Manchester United behind Norman Whiteside, George Best and Ryan Giggs - and six months ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. Rashford is already enjoying his most prolific Premier League campaign after the first 22 games, registering 14 goals. He has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season, a tally bettered only by Raheem Sterling's 20 among Premier League players, and now has 64 goals for United since making his debut in February 2016.
Before kick-off there was a round of applause for National Health Service workers and those on the front line dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. Then in unison, all players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Premier League has featured some of the world's best players since it began in 1992. But who should be the first two inductees when it launches its Hall of Fame?With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero ineligible as they are still playing, we've put together a pretty handy list of 10 players with a strong case to be included. Some legends miss out - you may well think Paul Scholes or Eric Cantona should make the list, for example - but we've attempted to balance things like longevity, key statistics and major honours won.

Schalke have conceded eight goals in their last two matches. Bayern are unbeaten in 13 matches ahead of this game. It has been a rough patch for Schalke 04 lately in the Bundesliga and they will be glad to pause that for DFB Pokal action when they host Bayern Munich in Gelsenkirchen.
