After Martinez was dismissed in 2016, Ronald Koeman led Everton into the Europa League in his first season in charge, but was sacked after the club fell into the relegation zone following a poor start to his second campaign. David Unsworth then lost five of eight games as interim boss, while Allardyce made way following an eighth-placed finish after fans frequently expressed their displeasure at the lack of attacking flair under the former England coach.
Ajax are unbeaten in their last seventeen matches against Den Haag, picking up five wins from the pairs’ last seven encounters, and have kept four clean sheets in the duos’ last seven meetings. The hosts have won three of their last six matches in all competitions while the visitors are without a win in their last seven matches, suffering three defeats during that period, so you can see why we have backed Ajax to return to winning ways on Sunday.

And a typically gritty performance, illuminated by Vydra's goal, helped them equal their longest unbeaten run of the run of the season, four matches. Dyche's side last qualified for European competition in 2017-18, with a seventh-place Premier League finish, and may well fancy their chances of emulating that achievement. Games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham aside, the Clarets have a reasonably promising run-in.
I'm sure he enjoyed the game and whoever it is is coming to fantastic club with fantastic fans who create an atmosphere like that. Ferguson, who served under Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Sam Allardyce and Silva, is under no illusions, but he was able to share his joy with his wife and children before heading into his post-match media duties. He said: "The fans wanted a bit of Everton identity and this was a bit of a free hit.

Only one of the past 5 matches between these teams have seen more than 2 goals so we might see less goals in this match too. Only one team have scored in 3 of the past 5 matches between these teams as well. Normally when these teams play the game is usually very defensive not a lot of good chances overall in the matches they do not look like shootouts. This will be the same no shootout as they are well set up against each other and this usually makes a match more lower with the goals when you set up well.
Even the young players such as Eddie Nketiah are getting chances, so I can't see anyone leaving. Aston VillaDavid Michael - My Old Man Said podcast Aston Villa went into the window needing more attacking options, but long-term injuries over the winter to John McGinn, Wesley and Tom Heaton shifted the focus. They have all been covered, so now we are actively trying to get another forward option in, probably on loan.
I’m a humble lad,” he said in an MUTV interview in 2018, “but I don’t think there’s any better finisher than me, still. The most impressive things about Solskjaer’s finishing were the context of his goals, the range – any distance or angle, any of the three main body parts – and the sheer expertise. Most of his finishes, as his team-mate Jordi Cruyff observed in Glory Glory!, looked like they had been calculated by a computer.

Assuming that mid-May is a reasonable time to start training again (which is far from certain), and allowing a couple of weeks for players to get some sharpness back (which doesn’t quite seem enough), that gives us an end date of [counts on fingers] late July? Hey, it’s something to aim for. But the Warm-Up suspects that at the very least, it might lead to a delay in getting 2020/21 going.

A lack of goals is also blighting Ipswich at home, where they've scored just 13 times in ten matches. Such a total doesn't seem that bad, but it's not menacing, nor is it becoming of a team aiming for automatic promotion. Their lack of both creativity and general attacking power at home has been amplified of late, as they've notched only three in their last five at Portman Road, failing to score in three of those five.
Pochettino was sacked on Tuesday after a stuttering start to a season left the club in 14th place, and was succeeded by Jose Mourinho on Wednesday who won 3-2 at West Ham on Saturday in his first game. But club captain Kane says he visited his old manager before the new one arrived. José Mourinho won his first game in charge on TottenhamGetty Images "It was a big shock on Tuesday night for everyone, the players included, and then it was a quick turnaround.
Both of these teams have each drawn just one of their Bundesliga games this season. Furthermore, Union are yet to draw a single Bundesliga home game, while Monchengladbach are yet to draw a single Bundesliga away game as of this game week.
What an incredible performance for a young player. He was a calm head in that first five or 10 minutes. He's a throwback of a midfielder. Can you put your foot in? Yes. Can you make angles to play the passes? Yes. He's only slight in stature but he's huge in personality. He deserves people to talk about him after a performance like that.
But can he help Inter to rival Juventus? Given his inconsistency and struggles against top opposition, it's unlikely. He made Spurs far better – but he still wasn't enough to help turn them into serious title challengers. It's perhaps why Real Madrid were reluctant to meet Tottenham's £100 million price tag.

I know that Gareth and the coaching staff have been to a few of my games over here and I guess you know you are in their thoughts if you are playing at a top club. I hold those aspirations, and I just try to focus on here and what comes, comes. But I would very much like to be part of [the Euros], for sure. Smalling, who has 31 England caps, would face competition to make Euro 2020 from Manchester United's Harry Maguire, Liverpool's Joe Gomez, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings, Manchester City's John Stones, Everton's Michael Keane and Chelsea's Fikayo Tomori.
With cricket in England suspended until May 28, the PCA also said players had agreed to being furloughed by their counties if they are asked to do so. I'm pleased we have reached a collective agreement between the PCA, England Cricket Board (ECB) and the 18 first-class counties," PCA Chairman Daryl Mitchell said.
Dukla Prague and Pardubice will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2. Dukla Prague this season have the following results: 12W, 2D and 7L. Meanwhile Pardubice have 16W, 2D and 3L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
I go to business conferences and they talk about certain people being used in transitions of the business and it's the same in football clubs. Mourinho is that next phase of transition for Tottenham and his aim will be to win a trophy within a few years. He was not going to go to Spurs without knowing he will have the resources to help make it happen. He needs to earn his worth though. He's not under pressure but after the disappointment at Manchester United - where he spent nearly £400m on 11 players and still fell way short of rivals Manchester City and Liverpool - he needs to deliver.
Everton defender Yerry Mina is set to miss the restart of the Premier League season after picking up a muscle injury in training last week. The Colombia international sustained "a partial tear in his left quad", a statement from the club said. He is set to be sidelined "for several weeks", a period likely to include Everton's first game back against Merseyside rivals Liverpool. Mina, 25, is now undergoing rehabilitation with club medical staff.
De Bruyne: I think it only fitting that my final team selection of the 2019-20 season includes the Manchester City midfielder who is, without a doubt for me, currently the best player in the country. The game against Sheffield United was almost as controversial as the fixture against Wolves for various reasons but De Bruyne seems above all that. He is a consummate professional. However, as Liverpool's grip on the Premier League title gets tighter with each game, City must treat this footballing genius with great care.
Club Maritimo before restarting Primera is the unenviable title of one of the outsiders, who has not yet fully secured a residence permit in the elite division for next season. In this connection, it’s not difficult to guess that the stadium’s owners have shown very inexpressive football throughout the championship with a rather problematic defense game (32 goals conceded in 24 matches) ... It’s hard to say whether the forced pause will do good ” to the Lions of Madeira, "in any case, in the last three rounds, they invariably missed goals both on the road and at home. The hosts are more motivated than the guests, but it will be difficult to win and I'm more inclined to draw in this match
Henderson: Regular readers of my team of the week will know exactly what I think of Jordan Henderson. The Liverpool captain has had another immense season. Last year he lifted the Champions League and now he has claimed the Premier League for the first time in Liverpool's illustrious history. This model professional has not only made my team of the week on regular occasions but after repeated calls in my column for the England midfielder's exploits to be acknowledged by the Football Writers, they have named him Footballer of the Year.
This would not help Blackburn, who gave Leeds an allocation of 7,700 for their game at Ewood Park on 3 April and, at £40 each, would have generated more than £300,000 from the visitors alone. A closed-doors end to the season would cost Luton between 10% and 15% of their income for the entire campaign. Collapsing transfer marketIn talking privately about his club's own position, one Championship executive spoke of his relief that a couple of potential January signings did not happen.
And asked whether in-form Chelsea striker Beth England will start, Neville said: "She will definitely play in this tournament. She has earned the right to start games for England. I think I am probably the luckiest manager alive. I have got the best striker in the WSL and one of the best strikers in the world in the same squad.
He's only 19 and appears as steady as a rock. In fact he reminds me of the Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro and displayed the same composure against a totally outclassed Brighton. For the first time I'm beginning to think that Pep Guardiola is paying as much attention to his back five as he is to his midfield and attacking front three. He has a world class keeper, two competent full-backs in Kyle Walker and an in-form Benjamin Mendy, and Eric Garcia, who looks like he might be the perfect replacement for John Stones, alongside Aymeric Laporte, at centre-back.
Sunday is the final day in Serie A in 2019, while it’s also the date of the Italian Super Cup final. This weekend sees champions Juventus facing Coppa Italia winners Lazio, which has become a familiar fixture over recent years in this competition.

However, things weren’t all rosy, as reports of the sort of abysmal conduct we’re sadly getting used to at football games emerged from the visiting support, both antisemitic and sexist chanting heard in the stands and when a female physio entered the field to treat Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney, the wolf whistles were clear as day for all to hear.
I'd be very reluctant to lose a player of that quality. According to David Ornstein at The Athletic, United’s chances of signing King will hinge on whether Eddie Howe can sign a replacement, with Hull striker Jarrod Bowen an option but he is likely heading to West Ham instead. The Norway international will be well known to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, starting his career at United and making two appearances for the club before a free transfer to Blackburn in January 2013.
He said that in 2017 when he tried to sign (him) for Manchester United and Real Madrid decided to extend the contract of Gareth Bale. I remember him saying 'if he is by the exit door, I will be waiting on the other side', so maybe it's a solution. The problem is there are no offers'Bale has been criticised in Spain for his love of golf and for prioritising Wales over his club. The four-time Champions League winner came close to joining Chinese side Jiangsu Suning in July only for Real to call off the transfer.
Preston North End will host Fulham for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. Hosts will go in this game to victory. However, Preston are in poor shape. The hosts are very vulnerable in the last matches. They have four consecutive losses. Also, we have Fulham who's is strong team in this campaign. In my opinion, Fulham are in better shape. True, in last game Fulham lost 1-2 against ambitious Bristol City. So, the visitors lost on the previous match and they will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
