Reaction & as it happenedBack to future Killie stubborn once moreBoth managers sprung surprises ahead of kick-off, with Gerrard leaving top scorer Morelos on the bench. Whether sticking with the same starting XI was a reward for Saturday's convincing win at Easter Road or with one eye on the forthcoming Old Firm derby, it also meant that Steven Davis also had to make do with a place among the substitutes on the influential Northern Ireland midfielder's return from injury.
In Italy, Ascoli and Cremonese are expected to meet today for a Serie B match which will be held at Cino e Lillo Del Duca stadium, Ascoli Piceno city. The teams lie almost close to one another in the table where Ascoli takes position 15 with 32 points after playing 27 matches while Cremonese takes position 17 with 30 points after playing 27 matches. There is only a point difference of 2 points.
Like Ronaldo, his Ballon d'Or form led to a world-record move, but Figo angered Barca fans by joining bitter rivals Real Madrid to become the original Galactico. His Real stint was equally successful and he ended his career by winning Serie A in each of his four seasons with Inter Milan. Shearer: "We were comfortable against Portugal at Euro 2000. Then he stepped on the gas and they won 3-2. He went past players like it was easy, effortless.
I had a bet on good odds when they met in the league here in Athens a couple of weeks ago and the score was 1-1 than 2-1 and a late 3rd goal for the hosts made them win 3-1 the game and cover my -1.5 AH on the hosts. Panetolikos is indeed a relegation candidate in Greece at this moment but has many decent foreign players in their squad and they were for certain not shy of attacking AEK in the league away from home.

Behind the outstanding win however, there is still a mounting injury crisis for Eddie Howe to contend with. Nathan Ake, Adam Smith, Steve Cook, Harry Wilson, Charlie Daniels and Lloyd Kelly will all miss the Cherries game against Burnley this weekend, while there are also injury concerns over key attacking duo Callum Wilson and Joshua King.
This is a big test for Arteta, though. There is a reason why Burnley have established themselves in the Premier League, and it is because their blueprint works. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Georgia's prediction: Sorry, Gooners. Tottenham v Man City (16:30 GMT)City boss Pep Guardiola has got to be thinking about the first leg of their Champions League tie against Real Madrid at the end of February, because it is coming up fast.
Guingamp despite losing 3-0 in the cup perhaps they were not that interested in that competition as in the league they have better results lately even won away from home at Chambly with no less than 5-1 lately and they could be winning this one just 1-0 or perhaps a draw but I do see them getting something out of this game here because Le Havre is very weak at this moment even lost in the cup at home to Dunkerque from the 3rd league level with 3-1 a few days ago so will take the away win with cover on the draw bet.
Reading only won 1/6 of the last match. At home, they have won 5/10 recent matches but drew all the last 3 matches. Meanwhile, Bristol City's performance went down quite clearly when only winning 3, drawing 1, losing 6/10 matches. Away, they lost 5/10 matches, while also losing in the last 3/4 matches. Watch out for what has been shown, the visitors will find it difficult to leave the Madejski field. Reading has an Madejski home advantage. Reading is 6 places inferior to rivals in the First Division English rankings, and the distance between the two sides is 7 points. This is not a big difference.
They were so well drilled. Defeat is not something that Jurgen Klopp's side have experienced too often this season, and I do not see it happening to them twice in a week. As for West Ham, well no-one is expecting them to get anything here, the same as when they lost at Manchester City on Wednesday night - but they have to start picking up points soon, otherwise they might get cut adrift a little bit.
Three points this weekend would see Sydney FC extend their lead at the top of the league to nine points. Their recent form has seen them win six of their last seven, their perfect record only ended by Wellington Phoenix who picked up a 2-2 draw last weekend.
Melbourne Victory and Newcastle Jets will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Melbourne Victory this season have the following results: 3W, 3D and 5L. Meanwhile Newcastle Jets have 2W, 3D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
But it is a reality now. I cannot say much more now until I get started. It's been crazy. Obviously, I am happy to be in Manchester first of all. This is a great opportunity for me and I am grateful to God, and to my agent, and the coach who has given me this opportunity to be here. Hello! Don't mourn the January transfer window, be grateful that you were alive to see Manchester United panic sign a striker over Skype.
Off the field, the squad was wined and dined by various Irish American organisations. No official reception seemed complete without the presentation of a cigarette lighter or a fountain pen. The bars and restaurants were thriving in post-war America. New York was a 24-hour city. Belfast Celtic were the first Irish League team to tour the United StatesScotland also booked into the Paramount Hotel where the Belfast Celtic party was staying.
The decision came after league-wide talks aimed at a collective pay deal broke down without resolution. The Premier League proposed a 30% pay cut, but the Professional Footballers' Association said that would affect tax contributions to the NHS. Arsenal said in a statement earlier this week "our owners, Kroenke, Sports & Entertainment, are fully committed to supporting Arsenal through this challenging time".
West Ham took the lead just the break when Aaron Cresswell cut inside and curled home and Chelsea had no answer. Had Chelsea won they could have gone into second but they stay fourth, and Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur are now just six points behind. For West Ham this is a huge win for their manager Manuel Pellegrini and they now move up to 13th.
Haaland has made up his mind - Solskjaer Manchester United boss believes that Erling Braut Haaland, whom he coached at Molde, has decided his future after his spectacular scoring streak for RB Salzburg has seen him top the wish clubs of many clubs, including reportedly the Old Trafford outfit.

The language that Cas uses is important. Uefa noted that Cas found "insufficient conclusive evidence" to uphold all of its conclusions, not 'no evidence'. And some allegations were dismissed because they were more than five years old. And, because City were found to have failed to co-operate, this falls short of a full exoneration. But City are unlikely to care too much about that and what a story it would be if they can follow this up with a first Champions League success.
MANCHESTER, England, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Manchester United made a surprise late addition to their squad on deadline day by bringing in 30-year-old Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua. There were, however, no eye-catching major deals in the final 24 hours of transfer activity for European clubs which continues the trend of recent January windows.
An extension of the quarantine provisions on Thursday also means that most of the players in contention (for the squad) will be placed in the 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Norway, and thus not available. What the NFF has no control over is whether the match on March 26, the playoff round and the European Championships will be cancelled or postponed.
Real Esteli is one of the best teams in the league so far and playing with the home side will be a tough one for them but they will still have their way through. Finding their way through the back of the net will be a heavy task for the away side. The away side had a good head to head against the home side and will do their best in this game to make an easy win out of this game. The expected goal line in this game is either 1-2 or 0-2. They will play under 3.5 goals in this match.

He then had to wait several weeks before doctors could give the go-ahead for a second operation. It was just a waiting game, but there weren't too many down days because I filled my time by seeing family and friends," added the Winchester-born defender. I didn't want to be anywhere near football so I moved back south to stay with my family. It brought everyone closer together and it was something I hadn't had for so many years because of football, which can make you distant from your loved ones.
He went on to score 62 goals in 167 appearances, in helping Celtic win their treble treble. Before his move to Scotland, he had won promotion to the Premier League with Swansea City via the Championship play-offs in 2011. I am so delighted to get the deal done," said Sinclair. I have been waiting to finally get down here to sign and I can't wait to get started and to finally meet the lads. Find all the latest football transfers on our dedicated page.
Reading had been on a fine run in the Championship, but they couldn’t get around League One Blackpool in the Third Round. The Royals now face a second clash with the Seasiders, this time they’re heading for Bloomfield Road. However, will their class tell in this trip, or can Blackpool pull off a shock in front of their home crowd?
We provided the evidence but in the end this FFP Investigatory Chamber relied more on out-of-context stolen emails than all the other evidence we provided of what actually happened and I think it is normal that we feel like we feel. Ultimately based on our experience and our perception this seems to be less about justice and more about politics," said the Spaniard.
It has been a long time since this two teams had their last two matches more than 3 months and had like only a few training sessions so far so I don't think that any of the coaches will force anything too much. Especially not because this team's participation here were questioned but thanks to the new calculations from the FA they are here are they wil ltake this matches very much seriously of course. The last 2 match between this two teams finished without a winner ( 0 - 0 and 2 -2 ) and I expect same scenario like that and tonight for sure
City were 4-0 up at the time. Sobering return for Drinkwater It was a sobering return to action for Danny Drinkwater, who joined Villa on loan from Chelsea in midweek after a similar stint with Burnley came to an end. This was Drinkwater's fourth appearance since March 2018 and remarkably meant four of the last five games he had played were against City - for three different clubs - all of which have ended in defeat.
The rich vein of form is nothing new. In his debut season at Manchester United he became one of only 11 United players to hit 25 goals or more in a campaign since 1992-93. Eric Cantona, Andy Cole and current manager Solskjaer (25 each) are among the strikers who never matched Lukaku's 27-goal tally in a United campaign. I think the way he is viewed in England is extraordinary, given his record," adds Smith.
Roma is not a bad side in fact in 5 away games played by them in the league this season they have 4 wins and just one defeat, problem being they played 3 games in the league with AC Milan in the past two seasons twice at home and lost all 3 two of them even by 3 goals difference losing last season with 4-1 here and also 2-1 at home, this while at the start of this new season AC Milan paid a visit to AS Roma W and won there with no less than 3-0 in the end.
There's no denying that Watford have been shocking away from home this season. The likelihood is that this pattern will continue past the weekend. However, given the gravity of the scenario surrounding this match, the form book has to be somewhat disregarded. We say back the away side to get something from this match.
Wolves are the fourth different side to go through an entire Premier League campaign without any English goalscorers (excluding own goals), after Fulham (2001-02 and 2005-06), Arsenal (2006-07) and Stoke (2015-16). Olivier Giroud has scored eight Premier League goals this season, his best tally since 2016-17 when he netted 12 for Arsenal. At the age of 33, Giroud has become the oldest player to score in five consecutive Premier League starts, taking over from Jamie Vardy (32).

Second-placed Inter Milan were held to a third successive 1-1 draw after Radja Nainggolan, a player they loaned to Cagliari for this season, scored a second-half equaliser for the Sardinian side in their Serie A match on Sunday. The fiercely competitive Belgian, who was told by Inter coach Antonio Conte that there was no place for him this season, stunned the San Siro with a 78th-minute goal to cancel out Lautaro Martinez's first-half opener for Inter.
Players take on coronavirus - Thursday's Warm-Up Morning. Let's start with Andi Thomas' look at Premier League players' call to action over coronavirus. FULL STORY 22:00 - Goodnight #PlayersTogether is probably the last big news of the day where sport is concerned, so the time has come to put it to bed for the rest of the night.
They have not won a major trophy since. Inter have won the last three matches between the sides and have not lost to Milan in Serie A for over four years, although they were beaten in the Coppa Italia in the 2017-18 season. Milan suffered a dire season before Ibrahimovic agreed to return for a second stint and were thumped 5-0 by Atalanta in the last game before his arrival.
Roma came closest to clinching the win when Lorenzo Pellegrini curled a shot off the post, but Simone Inzaghi’s side held on to stretch their unbeaten league run to 15 games. Lazio are on 46 points, two behind second-placed Inter Milan and with a game in hand. Roma have 39 points, one ahead of Atalanta.
11 of Dortmund's last 15 games have seen over 3.5 goals scored. Meanwhile, five of Leipzig's last six games have also seen over 3.5 goals scored. We feel that Tuesday's fixture is likely to produce plenty of goals. We are backing over 3.5 goals to be scored in this game.
Ebro fc have 2 win and 1 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 7 goals and conceded 6 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 2 and lose 2 of their last 5 games scoring 7 goals and conceding 6 goals. Leganes fc have recently have had won none and 3 draw in the last 5 matches. They have managed to score 8 goals and concede 8 in those 5 games. On the road they managed to win none of their last 5 home matches scoring 4 and conceding 10 goals
Van Basten would bump me into traffic'The Rangers manager would still be involved in Dick's next move, though. Shortly after the Ibrox deal faltered, Souness was contacted by Cruyff with a view to signing Davie Cooper. The Ajax icon was rebuffed but was sent away with a recommendation that he take another Scottish winger. That's why I got a very strange call out the blue from Ajax," Dick says. The Ajax squad of that 1985-86 season reads like a who's who of Dutch footballing royalty - Ronald Koeman, Frank Rijkaard, Dennis Bergkamp.
