I was not on my own but it did not make the original claim any less embarrassing. Pep's Mahrez madness - or not, as the case may beLiverpool and Manchester City fought out a magnificent title race last season - with Pep Guardiola's side travelling to Brighton the final day needing victory to retain their Premier League crown. All was well as they led 2-1 but something was troubling me, namely Guardiola's decision to select Riyad Mahrez.
Roy Hodgson's charges have fallen into the habit of picking their league points up in singles since early December, and Palace shared the spoils in four of their last six top flight outings overall since kicking off their stalemate streak with a 0-0 draw at Watford.
They start 2020 with a home game against Manchester United who are in fifth and only four points behind the final Champions League place. The Gunners gave away a lead on Sunday and eventually lost 2-1 at home to Chelsea. United would have been a lot happier if Arsenal had held onto that lead against fourth placed Chelsea.
Their record of just three clean sheets in 16 Premier League matches highlights where Villa's problems lie however, and the team's backline has looked particularly fragile on the road where they have yet to keep their hosts of the scoresheet.
Smolevichi won promotion last season but are finding life in the Belarus Premier League a difficult task. After three games, they are one from bottom and host Shakhtyor who are in eighth, three points ahead of them. The home side started well with a 1-1 draw at defending champions Dinamo Brest, leading the game for 13 minutes.
Milan are without a major trophy since their 18th Italian title in 2011. Ibrahimovic statue has nose cut off by vandalsThe seven-time European champions are enduring a miserable season, sitting 11th in Serie A, with 21 points from 17 games. They sacked coach Marco Giampaolo in October but results have not improved under his replacement Stefano Pioli and they lost their last match 5-0 at Atlanta on 22 December, their biggest defeat for 21 years.
Maritimo average 1.00 points per home game which is below the league average while Boavista average 1.50 points per away game which is above the league average, and this is why we believe the visitors will claim a narrow victory on Saturday. Maritimo score an average of 1.43 goals per home game and concede an average of 1.71 goals while Boavista concede an average of 0.67 goals per away game and have only lost 17% of their away games, all of which adds weight to our prediction for a 2-1 win for Boavista.
Botev Plovdiv will host Etar for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both sides are one of the teams of the relegation group. In my opinion, Botev are more ambitious team in this league. I think, the hosts will try to change their position. In any case, Botev will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Botev are in better shape in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. Also, we have Etar who's is a very unpredictable team. Visitors have big fluctuations. Also, Etar is poor team away from home.
His side have been the best in the country by a million miles this season, and they will want to show that yet again, against their nearest rivals. With seven games to go, Liverpool can win a possible 107 Premier League points this season, which would beat the current best, the 100 points earned by City's 'Centurions' of 2017-18. City also hold the records for biggest winning margin (19 points, 2017-18) and most wins (32, 2017-18 & 2018-19).
Marcal's handball earned PSG a penalty and the Brazilian defender his second yellow card. Neymar converted the spot kick and Mbappe took advantage of PSG's extra man by adding a third at the end of a dazzling 60-metre run. Sarabia rubbed salt in Lyon's wounds with a fourth from close range - his seventh in the competition this season - before Mbappe rounded it off with another goal in stoppage time.
First-team coaches Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna have also been excused from the six-hour flight and will work with Solskjaer's squad before Sunday's Premier League encounter with Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Nicky Butt, United's head of first-team development, will join Solskjaer on the trip to Astana.
Hamilton looked well capable of saving themselves, Ross County less so. So they'll praise the Lord for dismal Hearts, the most expensive basket case since Elton John ordered a hamper of champagne and roses. It would be hard to catalogue all the failings throughout the season without crashing this website, but from Craig Levein to Austin MacPhee to Jon Daly, from Donis Avdijaj to Loic Damour, from Marcel Langer to Glenn Whelan and onwards to the appointment of Daniel Stendel, it's been one huge misstep after another.
Borussia Dortmund will against Union Berlin in match Germany Bundesliga on tonight. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3 goals due to Borussia Dortmund on last 2 match in league always can make score 5 goals. Likewise Union Berlin on last 3 match in league always can make score minimal is 1 goal. Therefore, I think this match would be the end scores is over 3 goals due to Borussia Dortmund have great forward and midfielder to be make score like as Erling Haaland, Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus and Thorgan Hazards. Surely this match can be the end scores is over 3 goals.
Oxford United will have been disappointed to draw a non-league side in the third round. Then again, Hartlepool would have hoped for more than an away tie at Oxford. This gives them a good chance to make the fourth round where hopefully a big tie will come along. Oxford can't really complain having just hosted Manchester City in the EFL Cup as well as West Ham United, who they beat 4-0. They are having a great season and could end up being promoted. Hartlepool have struggled since being relegated and although they beat Exeter in the last round, the tip here is for an Oxford home win.
Despite those assurances, fans did notice that lots of the dolls were advertising x-rated websites. Also, on further scrutiny, it turns out that the dolls also came from a supplier that does sell sex toys. Awkward. Verdict: The modern football fan is often characterised as a dead-eyed consumer, engaging in a purely transactional way with something that is supposed to be all about love and passion and, in that sense, perhaps the 'premium mannequin' was a good analogy.
We gifted them two goals really, which we're disappointed with. Our concentration and organisation wasn't quick enough in one or two players. But what we did was show a fantastic mentality to come from behind against a really good side with top-level players. Against a top team it might be deemed a good result but we should win that game. But they've come from a tough game in midweek and battled to get a point.
He was a great manager with Sevilla, with Paris Saint-Germain, but the situation is not so good. He is a good manager, I think he will make a success with Arsenal. I hope for him anyway. In the event that Emery is sacked, the most likely reaction is for assistant first-team coach Freddie Ljungberg to become interim boss until the summer.
Chelmsford and Eastbourne Boro will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Chelmsford this season have the following results: 9W, 8D and 8L. Meanwhile Eastbourne Boro have 7W, 9D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Palace hold on after first-half VAR callRoy Hodgson's side had their goalkeeper to thank late on but may feel hard done by after Meyer was denied by VAR in the first half. Zaha did superbly to set up the former Schalke man, but the Ivorian was deemed to be marginally ahead of play when put through by James McArthur in the build-up. The visitors looked comfortable after Tomkins' opener, but Hodgson will be bitterly disappointed by the self-inflicted nature of Southampton's equaliser.
Nobody said or did anything, except pass the blame onto the stewards," said Commisso in a Fiorentina statement. Before talking about the fans of other teams, particularly Fiorentina, I think you should look at what’s happening at your own stadium. Fiorentina fans deserve respect. The bad feeling between the clubs goes back to a match in 2018 when Gasperini said that Chiesa had dived to win a penalty, a claim which was repudiated by the Florence club.
DISALLOWED GOAL! West Ham looked to have nicked a point. It starts with a brilliant, winding run from the otherwise anonymous Declan Rice after winning the ball deep in Sheffield United's half. He slips a pass to Snodgrass in the area on the right. He hammers a low shot that beats Henderson at his near post and trickles in off the post.
Jurgen Klopp's side were the third Premier League team to manage more than a year without losing. Arsenal - whose 49 games included the entire 2003-04 season - and Chelsea (from October 2004 to November 2005) are the others. Liverpool's only domestic defeats in that period were against Wolves in the FA Cup last January and their young team losing to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in December. If you include penalties you can throw in this season's Community Shield too.
Brighton's ability to keep and rotate possession makes them a tricky prospect for the majority of teams in the Premier League, and we think Albion can secure another positive result against Everton this weekend.
Between them, these two sides have conceded 56 league goals this season. Everton have showed some improvement since sacking Marco Silva and will be looking to continue that in this game. Arsenal haven't shown a great deal of improvement in the post Unai Emery era. They were well beaten by Manchester City last weekend and have a tricky looking fixture list for the next few games. A bet on both teams to score looks the best one to make.
A 6,000-mile trip and second-division shocks Les Herbiers are congratulated by Paris St-Germain after the 2018 Coupe de France finalThe island of Reunion is better known for its white beaches and golden sunshine than its football. But this season amateur club JS Saint-Pierroise of the Reunion Premier League made a name for themselves by becoming the first club from the island to reach the last 32 of the French Cup as they shocked second-division side Niort 2-1.
Only four clubs have conceded in excess of their 28 goals, half of which have come in the past six games. Striker Sebastien Haller, their £45m record signing, has scored once since August and after starting on the bench against Arsenal, the Frenchman made no impact after he was introduced 20 minutes from time. Pellegrini accepts that, as manager, "you take responsibility for results". For 65 minutes there was only one team on the pitch," he added.
I see penalties and I am going with Chelsea and, again, I will be disappointed with that result. AET - Chelsea to win on pens Watford v Southampton (Premier League, 16:30 BST)This is a huge game for Watford. I think they know it, and will be up for the fight. That is what you need at the bottom. West Ham have got a bit of it too, but the Hornets have got far more fight than, say, Bournemouth. Watford will scrap for everything, and even without having their fans behind them at Vicarage Road, this game looks very winnable for them.
Players are already back in training and last week the DFL said the league would be ready to return on 9 May - but 16 or 23 May are now considered more realistic dates. Germany has banned large events with crowds until 24 October, so games will be behind closed doors. The DFL has developed a health safety plan which would see only about 300 people in and around the pitch during matches to minimise the risk of infection.
A very interesting match, I think the game will end in a draw. Lechia after a good previous round and currently undefeated in several games. The team will play at home so it has the advantage. Lechia had the restart of the season with 4 points, but lost 2 of the last 4 home games. The team is currently in 7th place with 42 points. Cracovia continued where they left off before the break: with defeats. There are now a total of 6, but there was also a lot of bad luck with narrow defeats. Overall, the team is still not so bad, with 6th place and the same number of points, the team even stands by the hosts and at some point the team will come back in form. Maybe already here.
Scoring goals has been the main issue for The Roar this season with just 12 goals in 11 games so far and they’ll badly need to improve this to rise into the playoff places. They’ve struggled a little defensively too with an average of 1.54 goals conceded per game and it doesn’t look likely that the side will be finding much hope here.
Sixteen of Crystal Palace's 28 Premier League games this season have been goalless at half-time, at least five more than any other side. Crystal Palace attacker Christian Benteke has registered two goal involvements in his past three Premier League appearances (one goal, one assist), as many as he managed in his previous 34 in the competition. What's next?Brighton face Wolves at Molineux in their next Premier League game on Saturday, 7 March (15:00 GMT), while Palace host Watford at the same time.
Amiens had been in a great run of form before the last international break with wins over Angers (3-2), Brest (1-0) and Marseille (3-1) but their recent form has been the complete opposite with them losing their last three games. They've conceded a whopping eleven goals in that time and have now conceded the second most in Ligue 1.
City were a bag of nerves either side of half-time, but soon settled down to take control of the match once again. Nemanja Matic of Manchester United celebrates after scoring the opening goal during the Carabao Cup Semi Final match between Manchester City and Manchester United at Etihad Stadium on January 29, 2020 in Manchester, England.

But within eight minutes of coming on, Irish midfielder Hourihane swept the ball in from Jack Grealish's lay-off to score with just Villa's second shot on target. Tom Heaton then produced a fine reflex save to deny Norwich substitute Onel Hernandez as Villa held on for a crucial victory. Although they remain third-bottom, Villa are back within a point of safety while Norwich have slipped below Watford to the bottom of the table.
However, the Brazilian has improved his stock in the transfer market with his stint in Munich, scoring eight goals and claiming six assists. What is clear is that Barcelona want to bring in cash quickly and Coutinho is the most likely player to make way this summer if they can find a suitable buyer at a reasonable price.
Leeds travel to mid-table QPR next Saturday, while the Owls host Blackburn Rovers on the same day. Sheffield Wednesday manager Garry Monk told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Of course we are pleased with that result. League leaders away form home. It was a difficult game for us. I thought they were too really well taken goals and to come here, get a clean sheet in a very difficult game for us, we have to be very, very pleased with that result.
I couldn't twist or turn because I was stiffer. I tried to learn how to make up for the loss of pace in other ways. I watched more footage so I could be a step ahead because I could see the patterns of play happening. I built better relationships with my team-mates so they knew what I needed from them and what I needed to give in return. Ultimately, you have to work harder.

Subs: Dallas 6, Stevens 6, Costa 6. KEY MOMENTS 16’ - CROSSBAR! Brilliant from Leeds again! Bamford this time collects the pass from Harrison in the box, but fires against he crossbar. Should really have scored! 32’ - SAVE! Another close call. Great cross from Luke Ayling, Alioski gets up, bravely gets his head to hit, but Martinez flings out an arm to claw the ball out.
In the closing days of the transfer window, Barca sold Spain Under-21 wingers Carles Perez and Abel Ruiz to Roma and Braga respectively - and signed Braga forward Francisco Trincao but let him stay with the Portuguese club until the summer. Abel would have been useful," said Spanish football journalist Guillem Balague. They don't think he is ready for the first team but in these circumstances some people raise their game.
A 19th-minute own goal from Pearce, who fell over his own feet as he tried to clear Marc Albrighton's low cross, gave the Foxes a lead they never looked like losing. Barnes nearly made it 2-0 a few minutes later only to be denied by an excellent save from visiting goalkeeper Marshall. But a quick counter-attack just before the break, which ended with Barnes' shot clipping Dunkley and looping over Marshall, saw Leicester double their advantage and move them into the fourth round for the sixth time in nine seasons.
