Paper Round’s view: There have been longstanding rumours of a move fro Liverpool for Werner, and it would make sense. He is an all-round striker, and at 23 has plenty of time to improve under the coaching of Jurgen Klopp. As well as that, at just £50 million he fits into the relatively tight budget that Liverpool occasionally operate under.
I don't blame people for that but if all I was ever part of, or all I ever achieved was to do with what happened in Germany, in Munich, if that was what my life was all about, it didn't come to very much.

When you have two sides who have both seen improvements in their last two outings and both have strengths in different areas, it can often be hard to pick which area to bet on. However, in this fixture we have a side who are solid enough on the road, are in good goalscoring form and, given their defensive vulnerabilities, know that they will likely need to score at least twice to get the points. This, combined with the fact that the visitors frequently concede and have the joint worst home record in the division, leads us to believe that backing there to be over 1.5 Salford goals is the way to go.
This is likely to be a very tight game, though. At Upton Park, you always felt the crowd were a huge help to West Ham but in their new home they are so far from the pitch they may as well be in a different postcode. So it will be hard for the Hammers' fans to make themselves heard, but they have to be at it here because they know this is a big one. Lawro's prediction: 1-0Georgia's prediction: This is for my dad, who is a West Ham fan.

Harry Kane passed 200 club goals in his career as Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United to boost their Europa League qualification hopes. The victory - which takes Spurs up to seventh - is the first time Jose Mourinho has won a Premier League game at St James' Park in his eighth attempt.

The trouble is that all that work has been overshadowed by a public spat over money between the PFA and the Premier League and its clubs, at a time when so many workers and businesses are feeling the impact of the lockdown.

The match always seemed as if it could be settled by a moment such as that, with both sides struggling to carve out clear-cut chances.

Garry Monk's team edged the remainder of the opening period, and started the second half with far more urgency. Before the break, defender Liam Palmer had an effort blocked on the line and after the restart it was he who denied former Owls full-back Jack Hunt in similar fashion when the home side were well on top.

It is the 26th round of the Tipico Bundesliga, the Austrian football championship where Rapid Vienna who sit 2nd place with 26 points hosts Wolfsberger who sit 3rd and collected a total number of 23 points. Rapid has won the last two matches after the Salzburg defeat and is in second place in this group of champions with 26 points.
