Interestingly, much of West Brom's best work has come on the road this season. In fact, Slaven Bilic's men have claimed four more points away than they have at The Hawthorns. They're unsurprisingly, the Championship's top travelling point scorers. The Baggies have won three of their last five on the road and are unbeaten in their last seven, five of which they've emerged victorious from.
The state of it. The old Division One would be turning in its grave were it not alive and well as the Championship. Anyway, while the Premier League is without question a farmer’s league, it is also an entertaining old farmer’s league. The Tottenham-City game was utter mayhem. Complete, glorious chaos.
Ollie Watkins scored the only goal of the game at Griffin Park as Brentford beat leaders West Bromwich Albion to hot up the Championship automatic promotion race. The Bees striker's goal-line finish in the 16th minute was enough to leave Slaven Bilic's Baggies still winless - and goalless - in their two games since the return of football following the coronavirus suspension. But Brentford's second straight victory moved them to within five points of top spot, before second-placed Leeds United's game with fourth-placed Fulham on Saturday.
It's better to speak about things that make me laugh. While Son Heung-min has performed admirably as a striker in Kane's previous injury lay-offs, Mourinho said he will effectively be without a recognised forward against Liverpool. We don't have another one. There is not a striker in the squad. We have only one, he is not fit, we don't have another one," Mourinho said.
Hoffenheim will hope to overcome a Mainz side who currently sit third from bottom on the Bundesliga table. Hoffenheim's impressive run of form has seen them rise to fifth place on the Bundesliga table. 11 teams currently sit between them and their opponents this Sunday, Mainz.
Kyle Edmund has a good chance here of winning only his second ATP Title on the main circuit. He has been in good form this week and his record against Seppi is an impressive one. He has won four out of five with the most recent being in Auckland last month when winning in straight sets. Seppi's only victory was on clay in Monte Carlo two years ago. Edmund looks in the better form and can get the win here.

ESTIMATED COST: £78M 32: Donny Van de Beek (Ajax) WHY HE COULD MOVE Van de Beek is a midfielder with impressive athleticism and stamina who can essentially do everything. Despite having had a mixed season with Ajax, the Dutchman is highly thought of around Europe and will surely get a big move very soon.
When he is better and in the right frame of mind, he will play again. That goes for all the players. The 22-year-old was on the bench and warmed up at one point, but was not brought on. I hoped that he would feel better after warming up but it was not the case," said Montella. The club also confirmed that defender German Pezzella fractured a cheekbone in a collision with an opponent.

Odds are very good for taking the over 3 goals in this one and I say this because Dartford is in great form scoring 16 goals in their last 5 league games, and no, not all the goals came in a single game, as they scored 3 goals in 4 of those wins and 4 goals once as well, being very efficient both at home and also away from home and they also beat some tough opponents lately with ease as well.
Rooney caught it perfectly, but Romero got across to put it behind for a corner. The travelling United fans bellowed Rooney’s name, as they had done for most of the evening. He has returned to play against United before since he left Old Trafford; at 34 and now marooned in the Championship, he may well have just done so for the last time.
The Aquile make this trip with eight straight victories in Serie A, while they secured a huge win in their final match of the year after beating Juventus 3-1 in the Supercoppa Italiana. Landing that silverware was proof that Lazio are capable of mixing it with the league’s elite. Now they sit just six points off the top with a game in hand, so the title is a possibility for them in 2020.
A deferral is a protection for everyone. Mesut Özil - FC ArsenalGetty Images Paper Round’s view: Players’ agents are there to do one job - to make sure that their clients are properly rewarded for their efforts. There is no reason for them to concede any ground to the owners of clubs when they are transparently trying to make sure they keep hold of their own cash.
Both sides face a crucial period in the climax to the Bundesliga season. Augsburg are on the fringe of the relegation battle, while their opponents would love another season in the Europa League. Form going into the suspension has Wolfsburg clearly the better side and their away form isn't too bad either. Go for Wolfsburg to get the victory here and it's likely both teams will get on the scoresheet.
The hosts have at least entertained us this term with an attacking style, which is a huge improvement on the side who couldn’t score last season and ended up in early relegation trouble. This term there’s at least the basic tools they need in order to survive, but their defence remains a major issue going into this game.

Newcastle have the best goals from set-pieces record in the Premier League. Only one of Norwich's last ten Premier League games saw them score more than one goal. Norwich won the reverse fixture 3-1 when the sides met in August 2019. Newcastle hope to keep up a run of positive results in the top flight this weekend when they host Norwich at St.
Getting a striker in was always a priority and I hope Mbwana Samatta will prove a decent purchase. Villa won't spend big to get another striker, so a 'serious bid' to prise Jarrod Bowen away from Hull feels unlikely. Christian Benteke's wages may also rule him out, so I'd hope for a loan signing if possible. We've done well to shift Jonathan Kodjia and it looks as if Scott Hogan will be going on loan too.

Moreover, Sunday's visitors have won each of their last two on their last two on the road, scoring five and conceding none in the process. However, while such numbers sound impressive, it's important to note that Torino have faced Genoa and Brescia in their last two on the road. Both are in the bottom three, so we shouldn't get to excited at such results. Prior to their away wins against struggling teams, Torino had lost four on the bounce away from home, scoring two and conceding a worrying total of nine in the process. Such form doesn't exactly bode well ahead of Sunday's game.
The league has made significant strides over the last three years and I look forward to its continued development as the global destination for our world class athletes and passionate fans. Duffy will take up the role of executive vice president at Orlando Pride, where she will head all operations related to the club and report directly to the team's chief executive officer.
These two clubs have only met eight times before and Crawley have only lost two of those encounters and head into Saturday’s match unbeaten in their last five league games after beating Bradford 2-1 at home, while Walsall lost 3-1 away at Cheltenham in their last outing.
Vitebsk are in a good league position considering four of their six games have been played away. Home form has seen them win both their games without conceding a goal. Their opponents were knocked out of the Belarus Cup in midweek and are in poor form, especially on their travels. Go for Vitebsk to get the home win here.
Read the full judgement herePlatini, 64, resigned from his role as Uefa president in 2016 after his appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport (Cas) was rejected, although the length of the sanction was reduced to four years, having already been cut to six in February that year. However, the fine of 60,000 Swiss Francs (£33,700 at the time) remained, which Platini said, in October, he would not be paying until ECHR's ruling had been issued.
Today at Europe will be played a lot of club friendly games as part of the preparation of the teams for restarting the season after Corona virus break. At this game rivals will be two Czech teams - Frydek Mistek and Banik Ostrava II.
Premier League shirt names have been replaced with 'Black Lives Matter' and players have been taking a knee before games in support of racial equality. We are at the beginning of something," the 46-year-old said. It is very difficult to change culture and very difficult to change feelings. Nuno, who is the only black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) manager in the top flight, added: "A lot of people are changing, which is a good sign.
Ahead of the win over Espanyol, they had registered 0-0 draws with Manchester United and Leicester City, having earlier lost narrowly to Liverpool and coming from such a win, they will be motivated well for this clash. Diogo Jota helped himself to a hat trick in the Espanyol game and Wolves will hope to see more of this from him in the coming matches and seeing that a win could come with a three-place leap, we expect Wolves to go for the kill.
Goals in the calendar year: Ronaldo 53, Messi 54 (2018 - won by Luka Modric) 2019 - Messi? Virgil van Dijk has arguably had the best year, winning the Champions League with Liverpool and inspiring them to the top of the Premier League table heading into 2020. But Messi's individual standards, divorced from Barcelona's patchy form, have been simply outrageous.
Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham conceded three 'terrible' goals They were great when they were 3-1 up against the Seagulls, but the way they are conceding goals and dropping points from winning positions - 19 this season, a Premier League high - is a massive worry. That is an issue for their players too, because it will affect their mindset. Even when they go a goal in front, everyone kind of takes a step back because they know what is coming, and it is very difficult to change that mentality.
That's what he was supposed to do. He wasn't on a charity mission at Tynecastle. Hearts owed him nothing. I don't think anyone represents the club better than me," he added. Berra is a good guy and a fine ambassador, but Stendel needs a lot more than that in the battles ahead. He [Stendel] will say it [the decision to cut him loose] is for football reasons, it's up to him, but you'll never know the truth," the defender added.
Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock has signed a new two-year deal with American club Reign FC. Fishlock, 33, has not played for Reign since June 2019 because of a serious knee injury but hopes to return to action soon. The contract means she will remain a Reign player for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Returning to Reign was an easy decision for me," Fishlock told the club's website. I am excited about the future of this club and I wanted to be part of that.
The home team have found scoring a problem at times and have not been able to score as many goals as they would have wanted in their matches. This could be another low scoring match for them after seeing not many goals in their past 2 matches and seeing under 1.5 goals in these matches. The amount of shots on target have been low and this could be exactly the same for this match. This could be a low scoring match as improvement will also need to be made on their defensive efforts with some recent losing matches in the league.
Since Rodgers replaced Claude Puel in February, no other team outside of Liverpool and City have amassed as many points. FULL STORY 13:30 - Dyche hopeful on Taylor Burnley's injury problems mounted on Monday as defender Charlie Taylor could be ruled out of the Premier League match against champions Manchester City on Tuesday with a hamstring strain, although manager Sean Dyche is hopeful it is not too serious.
I'd be lying if I said I felt the equaliser coming. My goal came from nowhere. Arsenal were much the better side in the second half and they had started their 'oles', knocking it around, looking confident. I was trying to get some pride out of the team and myself. When Gael Clichy slips and I nick the ball off him I was looking for bodies to pass to but there was nobody there so I just thought I'd take on the shot and it goes in.
Dortmund have won just two of their seven Bundesliga away games. They are in 10th place in the Bundesliga's away form table. They also currently have a negative goal difference away from home. Dortmund's away form should worry them going into Saturday's difficult game.
Brighton to donate tickets to NHS workers Brighton and Hove Albion are donating a minimum of 1,000 tickets for NHS workers to thank them for their role fighting the coronavirus. Chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber has also suggested a club-to-club baton approach and has already nominated Bournemouth as the next in line.
The best anthem singer in the game. Iker Casillas (Spain) - 14 apps, 0 goals. Tournaments played in: 2004, 2008, 2012. Best finish: Winner (2008, 2012)What can you say about Saint Iker's Euros record? Nine clean sheets in 14 appearances, he went 509 minutes without conceding in 2012. Peter Schmeichel (Denmark) - 13 apps, 0 goals. Tournaments played in: 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000. Best finish: Winner (1992)Played in finals in three different decades and was a huge part of the shock win in 1992, saving a penalty from Marco van Basten in the semi-final shootout.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Oldham will have the best chance of paying out this weekend and we have p[redicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams head into the game in disappointing form but Oldham have been stronger at home than Carlisle have on the road which is why we believe the hoss can avoid defeat this weekend.
But following the Japanese government's decision to declare a state of a emergency on Tuesday, Olympic organisers have cancelled the exhibition. The opening stages of the Tokyo 2020 torch relay were supposed to be underway by now, but the International Olympic Committee and Japanese government, under pressure from athletes and sporting bodies, pushed the Games to next year.
Brechin and Elgin City will face each other in the upcoming match in the League Two. Brechin this season have the following results: 4W, 3D and 14L. Meanwhile Elgin City have 7W, 7D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Leicester stuck four goals past a full-strength Villains when the sides clashed in a one-sided Premier League clash at Villa Park in early December, and we think there are goals on offer for the Foxes in Wednesday's Carabao Cup rematch.

Another friendly match between two Swedish clubs. Both of the teams compete in one of the weakest divisions of Swedish football. Oskarshamns AIK are on one level above than the guests Linneryd. They are rightfully so big favorites to win, however this is not competitive match so anything is possible. For that reason instead of betting on winner, I decided to try with total goals. I expect both teams to score, so I will try with over 2.5 goals. The odds are far from good but I think there is big chance for this bet to be accomplished. Good luck.
The difference was a great finish and we were not able to execute that today. Everton's Ancelotti was not suprisingly a lot more satisfied than his opposite number after the final whistle. For 60 minutes the performance was good, at the end it was normal to suffer a little bit at 1-0 up. We suffered but we were determined to have three points at the end and this is the most important thing," the 60-year-old Italian said.
