One of the biggest improvements made by Reading in recent weeks has been the level of defending. They've conceded just one goal in their last five, while they went four games without conceding prior to beating Fulham by two goals to one on New Year's Day.
When you have something and someone takes it away you don't like it. You can be on both sides but unfortunately this happens more times for us. Had Boly's goal stood it would have been the first time Wolves had opened the scoring in a Premier League game since their 2-2 draw at Brighton on 8 December. I don't understand it and I don't think anyone else does'Wolves captain Conor Coady has previously claimed VAR is "not working" and is "confusing" for players.
Braga have won three of their last six matches and are unbeaten in five games across all competitions, and have only lost once at home this season. while Rio Ave have lost two of their five away games. The hosts average 1.60 points per home game while the visitors average 1.40 points per away game, and it’s on these fine margins that tight games are decided and it’s stats like these that have us backing a 1-0 Braga victory.

Midfielders - Willian (Chelsea), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Declan Rice (West Ham), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Willian: He was outstanding against West Ham in midweek and the architect of Watford's downfall at Stamford Bridge. Mason Mount and Ross Barkley appear to be the main beneficiaries of Willian's brilliance in midfield at the moment. The Brazilian is giving Chelsea what Eden Hazard gave them last season, and not just from the penalty spot either.
The casual manner in which he celebrated screamed 'this is just what I do for a living' and that it was simply business as usual. I can't help but feel if Jose Mourinho was still at Old Trafford, Rashford would be playing for a club abroad or in the reserves - instead, he is now flourishing at the club he loves.
We're confidently predicting an Eibar triumph this weekend and we're going for a 3-1 scoreline. The hosts bagged a total of seven goals in home games against Sevilla, Villarreal and Celta, so they should certainly be capable of getting their fair share here against an Alaves side who have conceded almost three per game this season away. Alaves have, however, scored in each of their last three on the road, so we think Babazorros are capable of a consolation with Eibar keeping just one clean sheet from six at Ipurua.
China's desire to showcase its ability as a future World Cup host got a boost when its football association (CFA) was awarded the rights to host the quadrennial tournament at an extraordinary AFC congress in Paris in June. China, which will host the tournament for the second time after 2004, had been one of four nations to initially bid to host the 24-team competition with South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand also submitting bids before pulling out.
His return to the team saw them beat Leicester 1-0, their first league win in five games; that is of course not to say that the said win was solely down to Buendia. Of course it wasn't, but, equally, dropping a player - or later justifying dropping a player - with the use of one arbitrary stat is as baffling and counterproductive a stance to take.
Michy Batshuayi and Fikayo Tomori scored in either half as Chelsea beat Championship side Hull to reach the FA Cup fifth round. The Blues took an early lead when Batshuayi's strike deflected off Hull's Ryan Tafazolli and the ball flew beyond wrong-footed goalkeeper George Long. Chelsea dominated the rest of the half with Long required to make a series of good saves, but after the break the Championship side enjoyed a spell of domination where they threatened an equaliser.

Najran will host Al Nahda for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this campaign. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result. Al Nahdha have an effective attack. The visitors have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Also, we have Najran who's is more modest team in attack. True, the hosts have a solid defense. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to dominate in this game. I think, Al Nahdha will closer to victory.
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford's injury is "more severe" than the club expected and it is "touch and go" if he will play again this season. The England international, 22, was injured after coming on as a substitute during the FA Cup third-round replay win against Wolves on 15 January. The forward has scored 19 goals for United this season and is also a doubt for the Euro 2020 campaign this summer.
This Tuesday, we have Eintracht Frankfurt playing host to Freiburg. At the time of writing, Frankfurt are 13th in the table and Freiburg are seventh. In their current form, Frankfurt will do well to hold on to that spot for much longer. With a game away to Bayern Munich coming before their Freiburg clash, we wouldn't be surprised to see them slip to just below the relegation zone.
It was horrible watching them have to leave. I just assumed Theo Walcott was there for experience. It was obvious he was going to be a huge talent, he had just signed for Arsenal and England did it with a lot of players over the years - I remember Steve Gerard, Rio Ferdinand, Gareth Barry and lots of young players drafted into the full England squad before they were ready because they were always going to be a part of the senior setup at some stage.
That is the premise with which season cards, player contracts and partnerships are agreed. League One play-offs 'could be extended'Ending League One 'would be the right thing'AFC Wimbledon ask fans to waive season ticket refunds Tranmere were 21st in League One, three points from safety with a game in hand, when the season was halted because of the coronavirus pandemicIf, however, clubs vote to end the season, Tranmere Rovers chairman Mark Palios, whose club are in the bottom three along with Southend and Bolton, feels they should follow League Two's lead and have no relegation.
Premier League clubs face a £1bn reduction in their revenues in 2019-20 because of the coronavirus pandemic, says financial services firm Deloitte. The 20 English top-flight clubs had a combined revenue of more than £5bn for the first time in 2018-19. But this season has been on hold since March, and the 92 remaining matches will be held behind closed doors. And Deloitte's Dan Jones expects "significant revenue reduction and operating losses" in European football.
Many remain outside China however, and as a result the likelihood of a mid-April start has receded. Although we didn't have a spring training camp this year, we are really in need of some serious physical training to get ready for the season," SIPG club captain Wang Shenchao said. I believe after a few high intensity training sessions we will be ready for the CSL, the Asian Champions League and the Chinese FA Cup.
Athletic Bilbao have been excellent overall at San Mames this term with six wins, two draws and just one defeat posted from nine outings, but it's been a different story altogether for them on the road.
It seems like United didn't want to be used by Haaland and Raiola - but will they pay the price as they miss out on the coveted youngster? Only time will tell, but the future is looking bright for Dortmund's new signing. Read the full story Moyes to be backed by Hammers with Giroud top target New West Ham boss David Moyes is set to be financially backed by the club in the January transfer market as the Premier League club look to desperately improve their form, according to the Sun.
Jena are at the bottom of the table in third division. They have only 18 points and the situation look hopeless. Kaiserslautern, meanwhile, are in the middle of the table. They have 38 points, five more than the teams in the drop zone. It is clear they still need few more points to avoid relegation.
Elena Rybakina is in excellent form at present and this is her second straight final. Two top ten players have been beaten already this week and she bids to make it three when taking on Simone Halep in the Dubai Open final. Halep hasn't had the easiest of weeks and the tip here is for Rybakina to get the win here and complete a great week.

The hosts have lost their last three home games, which is hardly a surprise when you look a little deeper at their displays so far. They’re among the lowest scoring sides in the division, while they have the league’s worst defensive record. That poor run has left Genoa winless in their last eight Serie A matches (D3 L5), the longest current run in the competition.
WHO IS INTERESTED? When Pep Guardiola is interested in you, it's hard to resist, and that’s the case with Manchester City reportedly the frontrunners for his signature. He should strengthen City’s defence considerably. Real Madrid are another option, with captain Sergio Ramos's powers surely now on the wane.
Kenny Dalglish won the top-flight title as manager at Liverpool and Blackburn RoversSir Kenny DalglishClubs managed: Liverpool 1985-91 & 2011-12, Blackburn Rovers 1991-95, Newcastle 1997-98, Celtic (interim) 2000Honours: First Division title: 1986, 1988, 1990.

Scottish League Cup: 2000 (at Celtic)Why is Dalglish a great?Sir Kenny Dalglish was appointed Liverpool player-manager in succession to Joe Fagan after The Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985.
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced the state of emergency on Tuesday, giving authorities more power to press people to stay at home and businesses to close. Liverpool will be PL champions 'one way another' That's according to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin. I see no way for Liverpool to stay untitled.
China's state broadcaster CCTV has removed Sunday's Arsenal-Manchester City game from its schedule after comments made by Gunners midfielder Mesut Ozil, state media has reported. Ozil posted on social media about the treatment of Uighur Muslims in China. Arsenal distanced the club from the German's views, saying it was "always apolitical as an organisation". The Global Times described Ozil's comments as "false" and claimed he had "disappointed" football authorities.
It was 0:0 in the previous round, but Newtown have much bigger motivation for this, since they are on the edge of the upper part, and the competition for Europe or the title. Since host is already preparing to fight to avoid to be relegated in the playout part, Newtown may have chance to make it here with one or two goals scored.
Paper Round's view: It’s a nightmare for Arsenal if they can’t spend money in this transfer window. The club desperately need to improve their current position in the Premier League table and could genuinely compete for a trophy if they added some quality to their squad. The Gunners are still in the Europa League and have reached the latter stage in the past two seasons, finishing as runners-up last May.
Not many clubs want to sell players that they would otherwise want to keep in January. Maybe one or two could be a loan deal but that is not a big money thing, it is just to help the team. Paper Round’s view: Oddly, United’s biggest move of 2020 could come early on in the year because Jadon Sancho does appear unsettled at Borussia Dortmund, and there could be a chance to bring him in six months ahead of the planned summer transfer.
Pep Guardiola's side have appealed, however, and could still compete if the ban is overturned. If the ban is upheld, whoever finishes fifth will take their place in next season's Champions League. Manchester United currently occupy that position (on 45 points), but Wolves and Sheffield United are both just two points behind and will undoubtedly have their eye on securing an unlikely place alongside Europe's elite.

This won't be easy for the home side but West Ham have finally found some form. They have four points from their last two league games and been scoring plenty of goals at home. Burnley still have an outside chance of European qualification but their lack of goals is a worry failing to score more than once in each of their last six league fixtures. Go for West Ham to take a massive step towards survival with a home win.
This is one of the most interesting duels today in Spain LA liga and I believe in at least three goals and maybe even more than that. So, this is city derby and even Valencia is favorite, I will not bet on their win surely. Levante is very good team who is not so long ago beat at home even big Barcelona, 3-1 and after that and Mallorca 2-1. In last round, in Madrid, team is lost 0-4 against Getafe. I believe in very fast match here with plenty of chances. I think that both teams also will score here.
The Telegraph report that the Spurs boss has stated that the earliest date that his forward could return from a torn hamstring injury is May 9th when Spurs host Champions League chasers Leicester City.

When he was about 10 or 11, he turned to me and said: 'Why doesn't anyone pass the ball?' I laughed and said: 'Welcome to real football. Look at the tackling - tremendous. Although he now stands an athletic 5ft 10in, Mount was undersized for his age until a belated growth spurt at 15. But he was never perturbed by competing against bigger boys. He was just five years old when his dad first took him along to a training session for children aged six and above at Soccer City in Fareham.
Coar: "After the full-time whistle, Shearer and Tim Sherwood beckoned Jack to come down from the directors' box onto the pitch. He was helped down by Liverpool fans. David Moores, the Liverpool chairman, had champagne waiting in the boardroom. He said to me 'I'd have been really upset, Robert, if I hadn't been able to open this champagne'. Wilcox: "I felt I didn't want a medal because I was full of emotion and Kenny got a grip of me and said 'don't be so stupid'.
Guardiola was asked at Friday's press conference what he felt about the interview and appeared unperturbed. The players are free to talk and say what they believe and what they think," he said. So we are not here to tell them what they have to say. It's normal to make an interview for the Madrid media and speak about Madrid.
But what we do want to ensure is that we've got a diverse pool of people who have the same opportunities if they are good enough. Still work to be done' Wycombe goalkeeper Ryan Allsop reported alleged abuse to referee John Busby at half-time in their win against Tranmere RoversMany referees working in English football can speak of the insults they are exposed to from the stands, and even as recently as the past week, there was an alleged incident of homophobic abuse in a League One game.
They last lost as many league matches in a row in March 2013 when in League One. Salah scored his 63rd goal in his 100th Premier League appearance - only Alan Shearer (79), Ruud van Nistelrooy (68) and Sergio Aguero (64) scored more in their first 100 games in the competition. Salah has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth (seven) than any other opponent, and has netted in all five of his appearances against the Cherries in the competition.
It’s something about the timing, to get the correct environment, the right manager, the right people around him in the club. In Molde it was safe and was a good place for Erling to be, and they have managed to make the right decisions for the steps after that as well. Now, we have to give him time in Germany, even though he’s had a breakthrough that many people can only dream about, but to get comfortable and find a place you feel good, and have the correct people around you, that is very important and the people around Erling has been very good with this.

This could include teams who were relegated and those who missed out on European football next season. He added: "We would really run the risk of the championship taking place only in the courtrooms.
