Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
Many believe England getting to the Women's World Cup semi-finals for the first time in 2015 has played a significant role. Leicester City's coronation (2016) Leicester only lost three league games during their title-winning seasonThe greatest story in the history of football? At odds of 5,000-1, it is certainly up there. Leicester City celebrated their coronation as Premier League champions - the first top-flight title of their 132-year history - in spectacular and emotional style on 7 May 2016.

The Wolves family are with you, Benik. Afobe's former Arsenal team-mate Jack Wilshere said: "Benik, my brother, my words will never mean enough to express how deeply sorry I am for your loss, and I know that no words will heal the pain in your hearts right now, just know I am here for you, Lois and your family always.
The principality side have lost their last two league games, having been beaten 4-1 by PSG at the Parc des Princes and then 3-1 at home by RC Strasbourg last weekend, leaving them 13th in the standings, eight points off the Champions League spots. National 2 (fourth-tier) side Belfort earlier knocked out top-flight Montpellier 5-4 on penalties in the biggest upset of the round, while Stade Rennes advanced with a 5-4 win after extra time at Angers in an all-Ligue 1 tie.
Laporte, who has made eight appearances in an injury-plagued season, looked devastated as he limped off the pitch in the first half of City's Champions League first leg win over Real Madrid on Wednesday. He has a hamstring injury, three weeks out more or less, a month," Guardiola told a news conference.
But he opted for his old firm of Fabinho, Henderson and Wijnaldum, and sure enough, against a well-drilled defence, his team lacked guile and craft. Will Klopp gamble on Minamino or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain at Anfield? Liverpool's German manager Jurgen Klopp gestures during the UEFA Champions League, round of 16, first leg football match between Club Atletico de Madrid and Liverpool FC at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Madrid on February 18, 2020.
When I am with him he is fine here, speculation is speculation and nothing we can change," Klopp said. I have no idea what I can say about it. He absolutely has a future here. This season, he is a very, very important player for us. He needs to be fit for the impact he can give us and that is all we are focused on.
Richarlison has scored 15 goals so far this season - 14 of those coming in the Premier League - an impressive return in a difficult campaign for Everton in which they had looked in danger of being involved in a relegation battle before Ancelotti's arrival in December. A full pre-season working with the Italian and the Brazilian has a real chance of developing into a 20-goals-a-season striker next term.
Halifax Town will host Ebbsfleet United for this fixture of the league. Yeah, the hosts are favorites in this game. Halifax have advantage at home stadium. Also, Halifax are more ambitious team in this season. However, I do not think the hosts will have easy task. I think, the visitors will try to fight for the victory. On the other hand Ebbsfleet is one of the teams of relegation zone. No doubt, the visitors will try to be much more serious in this game. Visitors will try to fight for at least one point. They are fighting for survival in League.

And Leicester wondered why the ball hitting Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's arm was not a penalty, but the ball striking Leicester defender Dennis Praet's arm was. But are these really VAR errors? The handball rule once involved referees making a judgment call about intent - now it is about "unnatural shapes" and other factors.
At least I know the sources everyone is talking about aren't sources, they are just made up, blatant lies. Why Virgil van Dijk was robbed of Ballon d’Or' "If history was wiped and football boiled down to a single year, who would emerge as the best player? That should be the essence of the Ballon d’Or.
Toulouse have been conceding for fun in recent weeks but with Marseille only scoring three goals in one game this season, we're backing it to end 2-1 to the away side. We're also backing both teams to score as this market has won in five of Marseille's last seven games and in six of Toulouse's last eight.
Atalanta have not won in their last 4 matches in all competitions. They are struggling after the injury of Zapata. They are coming from two consecutive draws against Sampdoria and Man city. They are struggling in the road scoring goals as well.
The seventh placed side in the Premier League would normally qualify for the Europa League, but the two places above seventh would not need to start their Europa League games until mid-September. By giving up the seventh spot, that would allow the Premier League to delay the start of next season's, er, season.
The acquisitions of Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon simply acknowledged Tottenham were in decline but did not represent a remedy. Those signings did not - and could not - immediately address the ills that were allowed to fester for those two transfer windows. Tottenham had become stale; the spine of their team more withered and key players appeared to be no longer 'bought in' to the project - in fact, the club's inability to shift unwanted players was as much of a hindrance to a rebuild as their inability to add to their squad.
I wanted to go and see him, and we had a chat for a couple of hours," Kane said of his visit to Pochettino. It was nice to do that before the new manager came in. Read the full story HERE! 11:20 - No end in sight to Napoli turmoil Napoli face a key Champions League match away to Liverpool on Wednesday and there is no end in sight to the turmoil at the club.
A national lockdown has been place in Italy since March 9 and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said on Wednesday that the restrictions would remain in place until at least April 13. He added the government would start softening the measures only with the approval of its scientific advisors, without setting an exact date.
Huddersfield Town will host Wigan Athletic for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Huddersfield have highly variable results. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize on their advantage at home stadium. On the other hand Wigan will try to provide a strong resistance. Wigan are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Perhaps, the visitors will try to return unbeaten in this game. They will probably try to try all three points or even one point. My pick - Huddersfield Town to win.
Interim head coach Hayden Mullins says he would "love" to be appointed as the Hornets manager on a permanent basis. Under-23 coach Mullins, 40, was put in temporary charge on Monday following the sacking of Quique Sanchez Flores. He led the Premier League's bottom club in their 2-0 defeat by Leicester on Wednesday and says he will still be in charge for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace "as far as I know".

The result of this meeting may well disappoint the fans of “Albion”, because “Preston” is the most reliable team in the game on their field. “Invulnerable” fully justify their nickname, because no one has yet managed to win against the owners on their territory. For nine home matches, “Preston” won seven victories and only tied twice, which allowed the team to score 23 points.
That was against the run of play! 67’ MESSI. That would have been a classic of the genre from Messi! Alba played the ball back to the Argentine and he attempted to chip a finish over Robles, but it drifts just wide of the far post! 72’ GOAL! Real Betis 2-3 Barcelona: Barcelona have turned this game on its head! What a header that was from Lenglet! The French defender got on the end of a freekick delivery into the box and loops a header over Robles who slipped as he attempted to make the save! 77’ SENT OFF! Fekir has been shown a second yellow card! Real Betis will finish this match with 10 men! The home team players are now surrounding the referee as they believe that was harsh! Fekir was shown a first yellow card for a foul on Lenglet and then a second for arguing! 79’ SENT OFF! Real drama at the Benito Villamarin as Lenglet is shown a second yellow card for a foul on Joaquin! Now Barcelona are down to 10 men and this match might not be over after all! KEY STATS Lionel Messi is now the second player in Europe’s top five leagues to have notched double figures in goals and assists (after Jadon Sancho).
The Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 both began allowing moves on Wednesday and all the window in all countries will stay open until Friday January 31. The top 10 January transfer targets - and where they could go Portugal and the Netherlands are not open to transfers until Friday, with the former league's window remaining open until February 2.
The association has been promoting it on its social media pages. Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Arsenal, Everton - these are the big teams many people at home follow. A game like this one, especially now Liverpool are world and European champions, you can expect everyone back home will be watching. The match will be shown live. It's like David and Goliath. I'm hoping, for some reason, David will have some luck.
well in this one it is much easier to predict who can be the winner cause jeonbuk motors are much better team and it is not a surprise that even on the road they are almost huge favorites to win and they started season with a victory over Suwon at home with 1-0 but today I expect from them to score at least two goals and that could be enough for them to win with two difference cause Busan already listed 2-0 in first round and I think their offense is once again going to fail to score a goal

That's probably why their relationship is so intrinsically linked. In fact the relationship is almost like a marriage. After a while you begin to realise you can't live without each other. We will have rows, fall out, even not speak to each other for a while but for all their faults players would pay a king's ransom to have them back again. Any idea of a permanent separation is, and always was, totally out of the question.

Under those circumstances, it is difficult to see the PFA being happy at games being played while there is the slightest chance of anyone at them being infected. Is it definite the season will be finished?West Ham managing director Karren Brady was derided for saying the season should be declared "null and void" in her newspaper column, with most believing it was blatant opportunism on behalf of a club perilously close to the relegation zone.

I don't know what it is, but you do notice guys find it much more difficult to relax. We talk about physical fitness. We never really talk about mental fitness. We all need to stay mentally fit, none more so than professional athletes who - under special circumstances playing for England under huge pressure - have got to have their heads razor sharp as well as their feet and legs.

Record title holder BATE struggled at the start of the season with 2 defeats in the first 2 league games conceding 5 goals. But they are looking much better in the last weeks with a 3-1-0 record in the last 4 matches including a cup win over Slavia Mozyr, which qualified them for the final of the cup.
For me it's strange to play the Super Cup with two guest teams. It's clear that these games are exciting for the crowd but from a sporting point of view there is only one league champion and there is only one cup winner," added the coach. It was always the first trophy of the season between the league and cup winners, I thought that format was fine but it has been changed.
NEW DELHI, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Asia has seen a sharp decline in match-fixing over the last six years, the Asian Football Confederation and its integrity partner told Reuters, though illicit gambling has grown thanks partly to the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment method. Swiss-based Sportradar has been a key ally in the AFC's fight against corruption since 2013 and the tie-up will run through to the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in China after being renewed last month.
Manchester City were beaten over two legs - including a landmark 1-0 win in the new stadium - and the drama of a last-minute winner from Lucas Moura in the Champions League semi-final at Ajax sent them to the final against Liverpool in Madrid. Spurs lost 2-0 and since then things have never been the same. Not even the palatial surroundings of their new home have helped. The pain of Madrid and the lack of immediate progress marks that balmy night in June as a watershed for Spurs and Pochettino.

Our club, Aston Villa and the Premier League are doing everything they can to find out who this despicable individual is, and one can only hope he will get identified and called to account. He wants to put off one of our best players from playing well today, but to do it in the way he has chosen is totally inexcusable. The Premier League posted on social media: "This behaviour is completely unacceptable and the Premier League stands alongside Wilfried Zaha in opposing this, and discrimination in any form.

today Havant and Waterlooville and Wealdstone meet in the lower ranks of men's football in England. My advice here for this game is that it ends in a win for the home team. It sounds like a close match between two strong teams, but I see the home team as the home favorite. The home team is currently 3rd in the championship with 45 pts in 22 games played. The score of the first leg is to his advantage for a 4-1. The away team is 1st in the championship after 25 games played and has 53 pts. Here I can see the home team pocketing the 3 pts at home.
The feel of this night - the drama, the celebrations, the anticipation of the big day at Wembley - sum up Aston Villa's aspirations. Yes, this season is about consolidation in the Premier League but a Wembley final is just the sort of garnish that raises confidence and will help them achieve that goal. It is also a big moment for manager Smith, who has been questioned in the darker moments this season, but has overcome a highly regarded counterpart in Brendan Rodgers over two legs.
Three points against Ross County would have taken them above Kilmarnock and into seventh. It would have meant they were level on points with Hibs in sixth and just four points off Livingston in fifth. Quite a turnaround for a side who were bottom of the table just a few months ago. Billy McKay's late equaliser doesn't change that a great deal, but it will hurt Wright that dropping those two points in Dingwall was entirely of their own doing.

Lazio have lost seven of their last eight in this competition. The hosts have seen both teams score in each of their group games so far. Lazio have scored in each of their last 14 Europa League games. The pressure is on Simone Inzaghi to deliver a victory in the Europa League this week, or else the Lazio boss could see his side crash out.
54% of Leyton Orient’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals and 54% of their trips on the road have also seen both teams score, while 62% of Port Vale’s home games produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Port Vale have netted 18 goals at home and have only conceded 11 while Leyton Orient have scored 17 times on the road but have conceded 20 times, which adds further weight to our prediction for a 2-1 home win this weekend.
There is no doubt about which team has more talented players. What Mirandes intend to show here is that they have the stronger squad and the more impenetrable home ground. Perhaps Real Sociedad can do what their fellow La Liga teams could not and win at the Segunda side's stadium. We think they will require extra time to do so. Back Mirandes to win 2-1.
