But I cannot look further than a Manchester United win here. I was at Goodison Park on Sunday to watch their draw with Everton and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side really impressed me - they look a completely different animal compared to a few weeks ago and they are not far away from where they want to be. When you look right through the team they have got a lot of pace now, and they have also got Nemanja Matic and Scott McTominay back to give them a strong base.

Woodward admits to overruling Mourinho on signings Controversial Manchester United executive Ed Woodward, whom many fans have blamed for the club's demise in recent years, has admitted that he overruled former manager Jose Mourinho in the transfer market.
After weeks of whispers, clandestine meetings with club legends, rumours of dressing-room discontent and general tittle-tattle, Ernesto Valverde became only the second manager in Barcelona's history to be sacked mid-season when the club announced he was to be replaced by Quique Setien. Valverde had just witnessed Barcelona's best performance of the season against Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup (75 minutes of excellent football that ended up in defeat), had the club top of La Liga, unbeaten in the league since 2 November and in the last 16 of the Champions League, having finished top of a group that included Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan.
The Switzerland midfielder had a public spat with the Arsenal fans earlier this season, storming down the tunnel after being jeered off the pitch when substituted. Xhaka started against Bournemouth on Boxing Day but was omitted from the squad to face Chelsea, fueling rumours of his imminent departure, but Arteta appears ready to welcome him back into the team.

Chacarita Juniors fc enjoyed their success against Institute after they find three points on their side after 1-0 win at their home ground so tonight they are going to clash against Almagro fc for the third time, their two previous matches ended without a goals which had been scored which indicate that there will be few goals. The guest lost 1-0 away to Sarminto to show their weakness when they are on the road and they have two games so far while donating three points to other teams, they are not in good shape at all so this is straight loss for them.
A second Celtic goal did feel inevitable, however, and when it did arrive it was the result of more slick passing - this time between Edouard and Christie - as the Frenchman slipped the ball beyond Lewis to ultimately secure the points. That may have been the case regardless but Aberdeen's chances of a second equaliser were greatly diminished by Cosgrove's dismissal. There was a time his sliding challenge on Ajer would have been deemed a good one, but in the modern game the speed and force of it caused Anderson to produce the red card.
Fulham missed the chance to move up to second place in the Championship as they were held to a draw at Millwall. An exciting first half saw Aleksandar Mitrovic give Fulham the perfect start as he slid in Joe Bryan's excellent curling cross having got between Millwall's centre-backs. But the hosts controversially levelled soon afterwards as Jon Dadi Bodvarsson stabbed home despite being in an offside position from what seemed to be a Tom Bradshaw flick-on.
Jose Mourinho admitted his Tottenham side were "in trouble" but praised their reaction as they came back to draw at Middlesbrough and force an FA Cup third-round replay. Spurs named a full-strength team, bar the injured Harry Kane, but trailed to the Championship side when Ashley Fletcher ran on to George Saville's ball and slotted home. Lucas Moura saved the visitors with a fine header from Serge Aurier's cross.

Key Events 16': GOALLLLL!!! Atalanta 1-0 Valencia (Hateboer scores) - There it is! It seemed as though Valencia were growing into the game, but suddenly, with Gomez at the heart of things, the Atalanta captain whipped in a hopeful cross, for right wing-back Hans Hateboer to prod home, via Domenech's outstretched foot!

Remember the last time Arsenal sold a top-class striker to United? It was Robin van Persie and that didn’t work out too well for the Gunners. Video - United and City 'ready to battle as Saul contract talks collapse' - Euro Papers01:41 Cups could be scrapped Removing the FA Cup and/or the Carabao Cup from the 2020/21 season is one of the options that would be considered to ensure the current campaign is completed.
But he was starved of the ball - Villa only had 30% of possession - and when he did get on it, he found himself in areas where he could not hurt City. When his side are almost constantly on the back foot, Grealish is never going to be able to play the game he wants to. He had cramped up by the end, because he had spent so much time chasing the ballI am afraid that is just the way it is for him in situations like this, but not every game Villa play between now and the end of the season will be as one-sided as this one was.
Gremio currently find themselves inside the top 4 places with a 3 point margin of error and that's exactly where they'll be looking to stay. Nonetheless, Renato Gaucho's troops lost last time out in a 1-0 home defeat to Flamengo and having also tasted defeat in 3 of their last 6 away games, they're not a particularly strong force on the road, which leaves their prospects looking questionable as regards securing a result on Sunday.

Odds are the biggest there are on the market at this moment for this game as we have a game between the league leaders from Tishreen who badly need the win as after the break they could only draw 2-2 at home with Al Jaish as they had the lead 1-0 and 2-1 in the first half of that fixture while last game they lost 2-0 away at 2nd placed Wathbah and now their lead at the top which used to be 6 points has been cut to just one point.

Instead he would work with Pochettino and the rest of the recruitment staff to identify gaps in the market, players with value, and high upside. Players like Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and others. Give young players like Alli and Harry Kane a chance and build from there. It was a structure that led to regular Champions League football, it took them all the way to the final, in many ways a truly remarkable feat when you consider that five years before reaching that showpiece they had to watch Tim Sherwood saluting Emmanuel Adebayor.
I'm a bit controversial in that I'd want to carry on - I'd like it if we had a game next week. But we'll come back refreshed for the next part of the season. Super subs - the statsSheffield United have won six of their last seven Premier League games against teams starting the day in the bottom half of the league (D1). Bournemouth have lost seven of their last eight Premier League away games (W1), losing each of the last four in a row.
Initially this was a two-legged affair between the European Cup and Cup Winners' Cup holders of the previous season. Occasionally the Super Cup did not take place at all; Bayern Munich and Liverpool pulled out in 1974 and 1981 respectively, claiming fixture congestion. Now it's an early-season taster for the action to come and has found its place in the European calendar. Winner: 1 pointSince 1956, a total of 172 clubs have reached a European semi-final and so make it to the full list.
He came close to joining Real Madrid in 2015 but has been a regular since - making more than 300 Premier League appearances and signing a new contract to stay with the club until 2023 last September. The BBC Match of the Day pundits do believe, however, that his future at Old Trafford is in doubt. He's unrecognisable from the keeper who won four player of the year awards," said former United defender Phil Neville.
Only Werder Bremen have conceded more home league goals than Hoffenheim. Borussia Dortmund have only lost one of their last 13 league games.

Wimbledon's march away from the relegation area was halted last time out, as they came unstuck against a very good Oxford side, though they did put up a fight and scored in doing so, which is positive given the level of opposition.
Stuttgart and Heidenheim will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Stuttgart this season have the following results: 9W, 4D and 5L. Meanwhile Heidenheim have 8W, 6D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The fight should become very fierce about avoiding relegation in this ending of the season as both these sides will also be part of the relegation group for sure but while Pribram has a record of 2-1-2 after the restart which lifted them up a bit, the hosts are just 1-1-4 after the break and have some big losses recently, lost 3-1 last round away at Ceske conceding 2 late goals and playing the 2nd half in just 10 men because they had a man sent-off, they also have a long injury list at this moment and do not really count on too many foreign players.

Therefore, the punishments must be sterner. This is where the custodians of the game need to step in; the FA and the Premier League need to put in place actual sanctions that will deter morons. Are stadium closures too extreme? Nope. They would represent a measured response to an extreme situation. Racism is a cancer that blights society and, football needs to take a lead on combating it.
Paper Round’s view: Shaw only has himself to blame. He has had three managers to convince over his worth, and from Louis van Gaal onwards there have been concerns over his weight and commitment. With Solskjaer looking to move on players who don’t show the requisite talent and steel it is probably time to move on Shaw, who has wasted his opportunity one season after the next.

Guests are fantastic team who will not have any problems to win in this match from Bundesliga and I will try this option, who is very real. So, Koln is interesting team who is try to survive in this league, but as I saw, they are have pretty poor defense and their rivals are scoring against them very easy. RB Leipzig is fantastic team in all lines and I really not see any problems for them in this duel. They are scoring very easy, they are dangerous all the time and they need to win today. They will surely do it.
Their home form has been the biggest issue for the side, winning just twice at One Call Stadium, the joint worst record in the league. They’ve been saved from a proper relegation battle by the goals of Nicky Maynard, who has 11 for the season now and four in his last three. The striker looks to hitting form finally but it looks to be too little too late for the side who sit 12 points behind the playoff places and without much form to speak of.
He had over 400 Premier League appearances too so that has to be taken into account. Ian Wright: "When you're an intelligent player, you can play different positions and read what's going on. He had no problems with that. It didn't surprise me that he became an integral part of the England squad because he is a leader. He is very self-assured and confident in anybody's company. He was always one of the main guys.
Cheltenham took control of their League Two play-off semi-final against Northampton after Charlie Raglan's header and a late strike from Conor Thomas gave them a priceless 2-0 away win in Thursday's first leg.
