We have to respect the players' welfare. They need a rest. They need a mental rest, a physical rest, and that's what the winter break is all about," said Klopp. We had to make these decisions beforehand because these boys have families. As well as Shrewsbury's visit to Anfield, Newcastle will travel to Oxford after a 0-0 draw at St James' Park. Tottenham and Southampton will have to meet again after drawing 1-1 on the south coast, with the date currently set for Wednesday, 5 February.
The hosts score an average of 2.40 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.60 goals, which ties in well with our prediction of a 3-1 home win on Friday, while Utrecht Jong score an average of 0.90 goals per away game and over 3.5 goals have been scored in 40%^ of their games on the road which only adds further weight to our final scoreline prediction.
Derby County players and staff have agreed to take wage deferrals amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Championship side has not revealed how big a percentage of wages are being deferred but said it was "considerably more than has been reported". Last week a spokesman for captain Wayne Rooney denied the former England skipper was leading a player rebellion over wage deferral talks. A Rams statement "specifically" thanked Rooney for his "help and support".
Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford says he "will keep fighting until no child in the UK has to worry about where their next meal is coming from".

He has been working with charity FareShare UK during lockdown and has raised about £20m. There is so much more to do," he said after reaching his target.

Kane then managed a second header - the first time he has ever achieved that in a Premier League game - after starting a move in the centre circle before finishing it off from close range.

Real won four Champions Leagues in five years – beating Atletico in two finals – while Barcelona claimed the treble in 2015. This rein swiftly came to an end earlier this year when Barcelona became Spain’s sole representatives in the 2018-19 quarter-finals after both Madrid sides crashed out in the last 16.

Let's try with goals in one more match from this league, where that is pretty real to expect. So, let's start from Dushanbe and that is team who was played in second league, as I know in last season. They are in this moment not started too good this season and if I remember correctly, they are lost first match with even 0-7. CSKA Pomir is in better situation and this team is coming in this match after 3-1 win in last round, so we can surely said that they are favorites in this duel. I will bet on goals.
Last season this fixture ended up with 3 goals being scored and it was the hosts who won the game back than with 2-1 than while lately they have won 3-1 at home with Celta Vigo, also a good performance at Granada where they managed to win the game once more with 2-1, and played quite well away at tough Atletico Madrid as well scoring a goal against a very strong defense and did lose 2-1 that game as defense is not that perfect.
This two teams we can say that an over of 2.5 total goals is a very good and sure prediction as looking at the last games this two teams have played with other opponents they are very used of scoring an over of 2.5 total goals and so this game we can say that the trend will continue in this game

Teenager Leanne Kiernan was then shown a red card for the hosts in the aftermath of a scuffle late on but one minute later Baunach was stood over the ball at the other end with the chance to earn all three points. And the German produced the goods with a perfect free-kick, up and over the wall into the bottom corner, to send the home fans wild.
I can't say we're in the driving seat after what I've just watched - I've been here too many times to know that's not the case. I've lost a title on the last day on the last game in the last moments to two goals, so there's never complacency from me in terms of those things. I really do think it's a point gained today, though.

Keane: Since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti Everton are no longer a soft touch. Their two central defenders have become the fulcrum of the team. Mason Holgate, a player who has made my team of the week on more than one occasion this season, and Michael Keane were the names that stood out against a Norwich team staring relegation in the face. It was Keane who got Everton's winner and his performance deserved it.
Liverpool went a year unbeaten in the Premier LeagueAnalysis and reaction from Liverpool's win over Sheffield UnitedQuiz: Can you name those to play for both Liverpool and Sheff Utd?A magnificent yearLiverpool's 18th consecutive league win and 51st top-flight encounter without defeat in a row at Anfield was another showcase for a side working to near maximum capacity. Despite Klopp labelling as "criminal" a festive fixture schedule that has seen his side play six games in 17 days, the German kept his team changes to a minimum.
Subs: Walcott 6, Kean 6, Gordon 6. Key events 14’- GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Everton. Mount scores - Mason Mount receives a pass inside the box by Pedro, he spins away into space, and whips in a low shot at the near post. GOAL! Chelsea 2-0 Everton. Pedro scores - His first Premier League goal in 18 games. Barkley pings a ball through the middle to cut out the defence, and Pedro beats Pickford at the near post.
Atleti's high number of draws on the road this season is a minor concern, but they appear to have rediscovered their touch for getting the job done over the last few weeks. Their miserly defence (12 conceded in 19 league games) should have no issues shutting out an Eibar attack that has failed to fire in five of their last seven La Liga matches, so we're predicting a 0-2 triumph for Simeone's side.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions for Tuesday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.

Read on for all our free Premier League predictions and betting tips.
The Hoops now return to Celtic Park in high spirits and their home form will only fuel them, as they are undefeated there since May 2018. The Glasgow club has scored an impressive 31 goals at home- an average of 3.44- of which eight have come in their last trio of games. The Hoops also boast the best home defence in the league, conceding just three times in nine matches and never conceding more than once.
Tonight, our defence forces have been mentioned as a possibility in assisting our 15,000 Gardai (Police) available," said McGregor in a Facebook post. But only if necessary. However, it is necessary. I urege the government to utilise the military alongside the Gardai and for full 24-hour patrol. We cannot go by chance here.
He came back from a very bad experience at West Brom where his confidence was destroyed," said the Frenchman recently. I tried to rebuild him because I believed in him. Impatient, clinical and on Germany's radar Alexander Nouri coached Gnabry at Werder BremenEven as Gnabry struggled for form and fitness in England, Germany boss Joachim Löw was keeping an eye on a player who had represented his country at youth level.
Pep Guardiola says Mikel Arteta is "creating something unique" at Arsenal and feels the Gunners will challenge for trophies under the Spaniard. Arteta worked as Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City before taking his first managerial job at Arsenal. The compatriots come up against each other in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday at Wembley (19:45 BST). There is no better person to do the job than Mikel," said Guardiola.
Video - Man Utd want Milinkovic-Savic again, but there's stiff competition - Euro Papers01:22 "Time and quality players. Harry (Maguire) and Victor (Lindelof) and David (De Gea) have been excellent," he said "Luke Shaw has been absolutely top class, Aaron (Wan-Bissaka) you can see his performance today and Brandon (Williams) is not fazed by anything.
David de Gea looked like a fish out of water initially at Manchester United, but he has grown into one of the best - if not the best - goalkeepers in the world. Known for pulling off the outrageous save, often using his feet, the Spaniard has played a crucial role in the successes United have enjoyed this decade. Eden Hazard(245 appearances; 85 goals ; 54 assists) Eden Hazard has the fifth most goal involvements in the Premier League during this decadeSigned from Lille for a reported £32m, Eden Hazard has been one of the most outstanding players in the Premier League this decade.
Belgium's Tessa Wullaert brought down Janine Beckie's cross to slot in the opener in a quiet first half. England striker Ellen White calmly doubled the lead from Keira Walsh's through ball after the break. Pauline Bremer's late brace either side of Caroline Weir's good strike saw the visitors run away with it late on. Relive Sunday's WSL actionThe victory was Manchester City's fourth in a row in all competitions and lifted them to the WSL's summit at least briefly, prior to title rivals Arsenal and Chelsea's later kick-offs.
It was after the game in Barcelona, in the tunnel after the game when I spoke to Rijkaard. There is an etiquette but you get the gist of what someone is saying," Ferdinand told BT Sport. It came close, there were discussions with my agent. Barcelona had touched base. Barca did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Ferdinand's claim.
Klopp decided to miss the fourth-round replay because it fell during the Premier League's winter break. A Reds side with an average age of 19 years and 102 days set up a tie at Chelsea with a 1-0 win. There was a message at half-time and and at full-time [from Klopp]," said under-23s boss Neil Critchley.

Juventus's Champions League tie against Olympique Lyonnais Lyon next week has also fallen by the wayside. POSITIVE TESTS Italy's Serie A has already stopped until at least April 3 with the country in lockdown after more than 15,000 infections and over 1,000 deaths. Two Serie A players, Sampdoria's Manolo Gabbiadini and Daniele Rugani of Juve, have tested positive.
They resumed with two draws before beating Rio Ave narrowly after coming from a goal down and staging a fine comeback in the second half. An 87th minute goal from Julian Weigl saved the league leaders from a sixth straight draw in all competitions. Now Benfica will hope to turn around their home form, which has seen them go winless in the last four matches.
Watford, who are without a home win this season, were being watched by new manager Nigel Pearson as Hayden Mullins took charge of his final game as interim boss. Relive the action as it happenedThe Hornets are six points from safety, while Palace stay seventh, a point outside the Europa League places. Work to do for PearsonWatford took the decision to appoint former Leicester boss Pearson on a deal until the end of the season on Friday, and the new manager was presented to the home supporters before kick-off.
Kevin de Bruyne is one of those players. Once he converted the spot-kick against Newcastle the cup tie was only heading in one direction. The same was true against Liverpool. The champions simply couldn't cope with De Bruyne's artistry. I have probably picked De Bruyne in my team of the week more than any other Premier League player. That's because he is the best player in the country. However, my Footballer of the Year goes to a very different player.
ANCELOTTI ANSWERS THE DOUBTERS Since taking over as Everton manager in December, following the sacking of Marco Silva, Carlo Ancelotti's side have earned more points than any team in the Premier League apart from runaway leaders Liverpool. The 17 points gained have moved Everton up to seventh place, in contention for a Europa League slot, and just five points behind Chelsea, who occupy the fourth Champions League qualification position.
My pick for this match between Rb Leipzig vs Hertha Berlin is over 3.5 goals. The home side have thus far had over 3.5 goals in 2 of their last home games in all competitions while the away side have thus far had over 3,5 goals occur also in 3 of their last 5 games away. Both teams play offensive this season, I count on a minimum score of 3: 1 in this match. I find it interesting to place a bet on over 3.5 goals to the odds of 2.10. In the last 5 direct matches such a fall 4 times.
But the Spaniard said he has no plans to quit before the end of his contract in 2021. Unless they sack me, I am staying, 100%," Guardiola told reporters. I enjoy working with them and I like it, but even if it's going bad and we are not in the Champions League, I will not leave. As a manager, there are good and bad moments, you don't win all the time.
I see good chances that this fixture can end up with a lot of goals scored by both these two teams, for example last time that Breda played in the second league level as they had a short spell in the first league level lately they won their last home game with Jong Ajax with 4-3 in the end and Jong Ajax should show no fear in attacking and scoring goals here making me believe this game here could end up in a high scoring one in the end and will even take the over 4.5 goals scored in this one.

Just when it seemed like Monaco were building up a head of steam, they went and blew it away to Bordeaux last week. Bordeaux have been a team in form as of late but so were Monaco, so to see them lose this crucial clash that could have seen them climb eight places up to 6th was extremely disappointing. They continue to wallow in 14th with the second most goals conceded in Ligue 1 so a match against PSG would've probably been pretty far down their wish list for this week.
The Football Association has contacted the England women's team and management after two members of staff went into self-isolation. The staff are in quarantine after coming into contact with the president of the Japanese FA, who has since tested positive for coronavirus, at the SheBelieves Cup in the United States. No-one associated with Phil Neville's side is displaying symptoms. The FA says it has contacted "all players and staff" at the tournament.
GOAL-SAVING CLEARANCE! Milner has saved a goal! Awful defending allowed Fraser to get behind the defence and lob a ball over Adrian but the stand-in defender showed his worth clearing a yard from the line. OFF THE POST! Great effort from Mane. He curled the ball with his instep from 25 yards out on the left that dipped and smashed against the woodwork just below the angle of the bar.
Everton v Leicester (18:00 BST)Leicester have looked a little lethargic since the Premier League returned and of course now they are out of the FA Cup too. Physically, the Foxes look off the pace, which is always going to affect them. Up front, Jamie Vardy just does not look as sharp as he did earlier in the season. It looks like they are going to need a few games to find their feet properly, which is a problem because the teams below them have already closed the gap.
Things could be tricky for the hosts, who returned to the top four following their weekend victory. Will the Robins make it three wins on the spin here, or will they be the latest to fall to Millwall?
