UEFA ruled on Friday that City had committed "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations and failed to cooperate with its investigation, handing them a European ban and a 30 million euro ($32. City, who have denied any wrongdoing, said they intended to appeal the decision to CAS and when they do they could ask for "provisional measures" which in effect would suspend the ban until a full hearing into the case is heard.
You can have top players, but can you get them playing a style of football that's capable of challenging this Liverpool team? Liverpool look like they'll dominate as United did in the late '90s and early 2000s. When I watch United and their style of play is this a team that can challenge Liverpool for a title? I've not seen it in Solskjaer as yet. I don't see that style that can compete with the best.
Slutsk have looked very strong so far this season. They already were undefeated in the 5 friendlies winning 3 of them and in the league they are currently on top of the league with a 3-1-1 record. In the last 3 league games they scored 6 goals.
The Black Cats are then beaten by Portsmouth on penalties in the Checkatrade Trophy final, turn the tables on Pompey in the play-off semi-finals, before losing to Charlton - the team that had beaten them in a shootout in the classic Division One play-off final in 1998. If someone sent a script with that story you would rip it up and put it in the bin because it would seem unrealistic,” said Pearlman.
Arsenal appoint Arteta as managerReinventing players - the move into coaching Guardiola appreciated Arteta's knowledge of the Premier LeagueThe 37-year-old's first official coaching role came at City, courtesy of Guardiola. It was not a surprise move - the pair had enjoyed long conversations before Guardiola committed to moving to England in 2016. Arteta was not initially given any specific responsibility but Guardiola never lost sight of the fact he was the City coach who knew the Premier League better than anyone else.

One thing is a nice reaction, another thing is support. So I think a nice reaction is probably to me but then during the game the support will be for Solskjaer - that's the nature of the game. That's the nature of a place with an incredible history and with fans that understand clearly what the passion for a club is.
The Foxes keeper denied Aguero again soon after, but he could do nothing to keep out Jesus' strike which brought a jubilant reaction from the away fans, and the Manchester City players joined them in celebration at the final whistle. It is almost an irrelevance that the defending champions have cut Liverpool's lead at the top to 19 points, but they have now won twice since being banned from European football for two years by Uefa, and can head for the Bernabeu for their Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid on a high after a difficult week.
Toney, Maddison and Eisa are the club's latest hotshots and they spoke to BBC Sport about being England's most prolific front three. We're happy hogging the goals'Peterborough's 39 goals from 17 League One games makes them the country's highest scorers - but more staggering is that 33 of those have been shared by the three players. Toney and Eisa have 12 each and Maddison nine - with Eisa and Maddison also scoring once in the FA Cup.
His expected fee of £25-35 million represents a relative bargain in a currently inflated market. ESTIMATED COST: £25-35m 42. GONZALO HIGUAIN (JUVENTUS) WHY HE COULD MOVE Higuain made a strong start to the season but faded as the campaign progressed, and had registered just eight goals in 34 league games when it was brought to an abrupt halt.
I knew the angle was tight so I got enough on it to dink it over him. I thought it might be offside - I joked with my dad last night about what if I scored and it was ruled out!"Southampton forward Michael Obafemi: "It was good to get the goal but in the end it didn't mean anything. The boys just have to come together again. We had a good run, we'll try to pick it back up again and hopefully we do.
this prediction is a far fetched prediction that sees me predicting that the expected team to lose are the one who are going to win the match. Basically there is no room to claim that empoli is better than pisa or pisa is better than empoli. Empoli on have the benefit of being at home when they play this game but other than that both teams are neck to neck on the log they haven't been scoring goals at an exponential rate and have a string of draws to show this performance hence I am prompted to side with pisa
They are neither here nor there. What I'm absolutely certain about is they are not a good enough to keep the likes of Mesut Ozil out of the team. One bright spark though in a ordinary Arsenal side is stand-in goal keeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine came into the side at a difficult time for the injured Bernd Leno and he produced a superb one handed save from Southampton's Danny Ings when Arsenal were under immense pressure.
I've said before, we should've won the game, I don't understand the decision and I don't think anyone else does. This is not football' - your reactions on #bbcfootball Dave Payn: Had that 'goal' been scored in Germany, Italy or the Champions League it would have stood. VAR isn't the problem, common sense, or lack of it, is. Mike Magners: I thought the rule for offside by the way was "interfering with play", how is someone that is a minute fraction offside, by the side of the pitch "interfering with play"???Garett T Switzer: This is not football.

Sevilla's 2-0 midweek win against Qarabag at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan was their fifth consecutive triumph in the Group Phase and they can now put that competition to one side until the knockout stages begin in February.
Paper Round’s views: Having managed in Spain, Russia, France and England, Italy is the logical next destination for Emery. However, he has a lot to prove. Having largely underperformed at PSG, his time at the Emirates will be remembered poorly, with the former Valencia and Sevilla boss having picked numerous fights with star players and having left to the universal relief of the fans.
Charlton Athletic is without victory in last four games, collecting just a single point from them, and tonight again they will not have an easy job, since they will play against Fulham, club from third place at standings and one of the serious candidates for promotion in current season. Charlton have much better results at home field, they are without defeat in last three rounds at home, and their major goal in this duel will be to avoid defeat. Fulham has two wins in a row, and no doubt they will play on victory. A. Mitrovic will be in attack, he didn't score a goal in last two rounds, and this duel will be an excellent opportunity for him to improve number of goals, currently he is top scorer in Championship with 18 goals, together with him in attack will be Knockaert and Cavaliero, Victory for Fulham
Atlanta is a pure sensation this season not only in Serie A where they have a decent lead on 4th place at this moment over 5th placed AS Roma, their really only rivals at this stage for another Champions League participation on their part, competition where they did very well to make it past the group stage and not only that but they qualified from the latter stage as well as they won 4-1 at home with Valencia the first leg at home and away from home in Spain on an empty stadium it was quite a show which they won with 4-3 as well.
Even without coronavirus, I think he [Haaland] wouldn't leave," says Mueller. His father and him know he's a brand already. They are presenting him everywhere, Alf Inge is giving interviews in AS and Marca saying 'he could be interesting for Real Madrid, he could be interesting for Manchester United'.
Yet Lucescu believes the hard work in winning their first-ever Asian Champions League title was done in the opening leg in Riyadh when Andre Carrillo earned Al Hilal a one-goal advantage in the tie. With all respect to our opponents, we were fully confident that we would win this trophy," said Lucescu.
Speaking after the game Ronaldo, who has scored 12 goals this season, said: "The goal was nice, but I am especially happy to have helped the team to get the three points. But he later compared the jump to Chicago Bull's legend Michael Jordan, tweeting: "CR7 AIR JORDAN" with an airplane emoji. Ronaldo remained in the air for an infinite time," added Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri. The match also saw Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon draw level with Paolo Maldini in the all-time Serie A appearances chart with his 647th game in Italy's top flight.
We apologise to the fans. To go out and lose like that, they deserve better," Ali added. Spurs have now gone six games without a win, the longest such run in coach Jose Mourinho's entire managerial career, while his Leipzig counterpart Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest at age 32 to reach the competition's last eight.
It seems that his condition is improving but we still have to evaluate between today and tomorrow," said Sarri, adding that defender Matthijs de Ligt and midfielder Federico Bernardeschi were also doubtful for Tuesday's match. Sarri reiterated that there was no problem with Ronaldo who reacted angrily to being substituted in a 1-0 win over AC Milan earlier this month.

They certainly looked a cut above the division last time out, as they hammered Swansea 5-1 to end the Welsh side’s unbeaten away record. Meanwhile, the Baggies have only lost once in 20 league games this season. Having won 65% of their league games overall, they are storming their way towards the top flight. Their record is even more impressive on the road, winning 70% of their trips.

The visitors continued to throw everything forward in an effort to find an equaliser, but United keeper Dean Henderson pulled off a string of fine saves, prompting the home fans to chant for him to be made "England's number one".

READ THE FULL PAPER ROUND HERE OUR VIEW Shortening the competition when teams will have a backlog of games to catch up on, when professional football does return, seems a smart idea. UEFA are no strangers when it comes to reformatting their tournaments (RIP UEFA Cup) or introducing entirely new ones - such as the mostly well-received Nations League and the upcoming UEFA Europa Conference League.
Alongside our Man City to win prediction, we're tipping the Citizens to win 2-1 in our correct score forecast. City are without a clean sheet in nine matches, though they conceded more than once on only three separate occasions during that sequence. At the other end City have been a little off the boil of late on their travels, scoring more than twice only once in their last five away games. We expect that aforementioned combination of factors to influence the final score on Wednesday.
Alaves began promisingly at home to Real Betis on Matchday 19 as Alex Vidal struck just 14 minutes in, but Asier Garitano's side were eventually fortunate to escape with a 1-1 draw at full time after Los Verdiblancos went onto dominate proceedings.

I'm glad we are not playing but they could have decided earlier," said AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli. I think the authorities are trying to make the best possible decision. I trust them. In order not to have doubts about the normality of the sport, I think that if you play one game, then everyone has to play or, if you don't play one match, then all the others have to be stopped," said AS Roma coach Paulo Fonseca.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he is not concerned about his attacking options, with Mason Greenwood's development compensating for the loss of Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku scored 42 goals in 96 United games but joined Inter Milan in August. We always believed Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were going to score goals but Mason has filled a big void," said Solskjaer. I'm not worried about goals from centre-forwards.
