Vincent Kompany: Manchester City 1-0 Leicester (Premier League)6 May 2019 With 20 minutes remaining, the score goalless and nerves jangling at Etihad Stadium, Manchester City's inspiration came from their long-serving captain Vincent Kompany, who strode forward and let fly from 25 yards to hand the defending champions the advantage going into the final weekend of the title race with Liverpool. Shearer: "This was about the timing of it and how they needed that piece of magic from their captain.
The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho.

Steve McClaren may have been replaced by Mark Warburton, but the former QPR manager knows that the club are capable of falling apart like this. The Rs went on a brilliant run of form to contend for the top six, but that was sandwiched between two bouts of relegation-worthy results. They started poorly and put McClaren in the firing line, while he was finished after QPR stumbled across the line last season.
My favourite player cannot be a City player, though, so I am going with Paul Pogba. Why? On his day, he is unstoppable. Avelino, whose latest song Higher Power is out now, has been frustrated by United's up-and-down form this season - and thinks Paul Pogba could help provide the solution. Nothing comes as a surprise to me with United this season," he told BBC Sport. I have been saying for a while that, in the bigger games, we tend to do all right.
Bundesliga 1. We have a Match where team Freiburg will play at home with team Wolfsburg. My bet will be on guests how draw no bet. Hosts takes 6 place in rankings. They did 2 draw games and defeat at last 3 matches played. Guests did 2 wins and defeat ( at last match with Werder Bremen ) at last 3 matches played. As I wrote the last defeat with Werder was very unsuccessful for Wolfsburg. I hope that before our match they will prepare very carefully. Maybe we will see a draw game between our teams. But more advantages for guests .
He’s just bought a player who regularly plays in the Champions League for Ajax, so you need to justify that one. I’m sure he hasn’t left to go and play in the Europa League, initially anyway. The press have been quite lenient with Frank and everything’s good and Frank’s doing okay with no question marks.
Southampton have been in good form in the past few weeks. They host Tottenham in the FA Cup fourth round and will be aiming to repeat a recent Premier League home win over them.

Keane was one of a number of expensive recruits made by then manager Ronald Koeman in the summer of 2017Keane first began to experience problems shortly after joining Everton for a club-record equalling £30m fee from Burnley in July 2017. He suffered an injury during a Carabao Cup tie with Sunderland when a James Vaughan tackle opened up a wound in his foot that required eight stitches. Keane played on in that game and continued to do so in the weeks that followed, taking pain-killing injections to combat an infection that would eventually inflame further and lead to a spell in hospital.
All 3 games between these two clubs last season had at least 5 goals scored in them with Al Jazira scoring 13 of those goals and the guests scoring 4 of those goals as they first played in the cup group stage at Al Jazira who won the game 5-2 but I believe they had the lead 5-0 till late in that game, a couple of weeks after that game they met in the league, the guests tried to be defensive but were 1-0 down, than a miracle happened for them as an Al Jazira player received a red card, but still conceded 2 more goals and while 3-0 down late in the game they scored once more 2 goals to lose just 3-2 in the end.
He's the kind of guy that doesn't accept protocol or a single date or fixture [for his return]. He's a great professional and a fighter and he wants to be back as soon as possible. When he was injured I said 'forget him'," Mourinho added. Then I said 'one or two games'. At this moment, I have better hopes than that, hopefully that feeling is right and he can help us in the last few games of the season.
Former Roma and Italy forward Francesco Totti also weighed in, donating 15 machines for monitoring vital signs to a hospital in Rome. The largest contributions came from two of the biggest names in the country.

Match with big importance for both, where there should not be a lot of goals scored. Host is going to have another low result, like in the recent 1:0 victory here. Usti allowed three goals against Brno, but that was their first match on home after long time, and without support they easy went down for two in the match. Late goal from them was just Brno relaxed in the finish of the games.
Regensburg is 12th, Darmstadt is 5th. Regensburg played four draws in a row and that could come out again. At home the record is now 6-4-4, but also recently won 3 home games. Darmstadt got a good 5-4-5 record away and even won 3 of their last 4 away games, but recently there was a 0-2 defeat at the KSC. Overall, I expect a draw here. For Regensburg last 4 draws, The games ended three times with a 2-2, once there was goalless draw in Sandhausen. Darmstadt recently lost 0-2 in Karlsruhe, but remained undefeated in 3 games with 7 points. After all, the Bottlemen are in good form and they will get something here, especially since the team won first leg 3-2. Overall, however, I expect a goal-rich draw.

Carney believes Kerr's signing is "big for the league" - second, in terms of stature, only to two-time world champion Carli Lloyd's loan move to Manchester City in 2017.

The Seagulls took the lead somewhat fortuitously 10 minutes after the restart, but there was nothing fortunate about Neal Maupay's fox-like instincts, pouncing on a ricochet to poke into the top corner and give Graham Potter's men a richly-deserved cushion to defend. However, Palace got back into the game in the last quarter; Wilfried Zaha decided to show up, Christian Benteke started winning flick-ons, and Max Meyer came on to add a more creative spark to the home side's engine room.
Swansea City manager Steve Cooper told BBC Radio Wales:"We can do better with the amount of ball we had tonight and the positions we got in tonight. We are capable of creating more opportunities to shoot and cross so the part of the game which was not at the right level tonight was in and around their box.
It is Liverpool who have got a midfield unit now and they also have plenty of options without weakening. Their players know that, if they get in, they have to play well to stay in, otherwise they may not play again for a while.

And I think, after what happened when they played United earlier this season (a 1-1 draw), we will see a reaction from them.

As good as Juventus have been at home this season, they've not often gone mad in terms of goals scored, but this is a huge opportunity for them to hit their stride offensively and rack up a big win. Punters can take advantage by supporting 'Juventus -2 Handicap'. The last time Juve won a league game by more than two goals was when they hosted Udinese at the end of last season, while the recent effort of the visitors against two of the sides coming up behind Juventus point towards a real away-day struggle on Sunday. The fact that Udinese, on average, concede more than five shots on target more than they register, which is only 2.57, away from home bodes well for the hosts, who're averaging 8.14 shots on target for at home.
