He emerged with top marks after a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur strengthened Chelsea's hold on fourth place. After a run of four defeats in five league games, Lampard tweaked his system to 5-2-3 from his usual 4-3-3 and Chelsea dominated their London rivals from start to finish. It was a significant moment for Lampard as he got the better of a manager renowned for tactical acumen.
Arsenal splashed out a club record £72m to sign Nicolas Pepe, Tottenham spent £53. Tanguy Ndombele while Manchester United brought in Harry Maguire from Leicester for £80m - a world record fee for a defender. Back in August, BBC Sport readers voted for who they thought was the signing of the summer and it was Pepe who came out on top. That's not quite worked out, and while there is time for Pepe to come good it's not going to happen before the end of 2019.

Next…I know that I am Formula 1. Video - United and Liverpool go to war over centre-back – Euro Papers01:18 “It works because he is there, that is the only reason. It won’t be spectacular, he won’t do something amazing, but he has his thing. Aside from that, does everyone like the way he plays? I don’t know.
In almost every statistic, Exeter City seem to have the edge in this fixture. They are stronger at home than Cambridge are away, they have scored more and conceded less, and they come into this match in excellent form while their visitors have struggled. It is hard to imagine anything other than a comfortable home win in this fixture and backing them to get the three points is exactly where we are placing out trust.
If you don't do that, you have no chance. There's a reason they were in so many European finals. Apart from Swiss forward Xherdan Shaqiri, Klopp has a full squad to choose from ahead of the showdown at the Wanda Metropolitano where Liverpool lifted the trophy in June. Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold hailed the impact of goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who missed the first eight games of the season with a calf injury.
Both clubs are in good form in their respective divisions. Derby County are two leagues above their opponents and have won four of their last five games. Form is good, both at home and away and the third round saw them win at Premier League Crystal Palace. Northampton will make it tough for them but the gap between the two sides should result in a win for the Championship side.
The hosts have made Griffin Park a tough place to go of late, with some fine form at this ground putting the hosts on their way to the playoffs. Brentford are third in the second tier and they are emerging as the main challengers to the top two. While the Bees are likely to fall a little short of cutting the nine-point gap to second, their strong home record should push them close.
Odds are big on the away side at least that is what I think because Jong PSV is just 3-3-9 so far this season in the league and really not as strong as even Jong AZ not to mention they are no match for Jong Ajax at this youth level while Breda wants promotion and after two losses in a row it is a very good opponent for them to be getting all 3 points from this game is like I said above the hosts are quite weak at this moment and Breda remain a strong side even defeated Emmen 3-2 at home in the cup not so long ago.

If you think back to the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season, many were expecting Sheffield United to struggle the most out of the newly promoted teams. After all, The Blades were on a low budget and were coming off the back of two promotions in three seasons. Meanwhile, Norwich had strolled to the Championship top spot and Aston Villa had spent over u00a3100 million on new players in the summer.
We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2 in favour of Vitesse. We’re expecting a very close and competitive ninety minutes between these two teams but the visitors have more consistency and more scoring power in their side which is why we have backed Vitesse to win.

Naftan should be able to make this a good performance, and top push for the secure home victory over Slonim. Away side did make some better games in the begin, but they went down with the previous big loss to Lida. Naftan may not play with a lot of goals scored, but also does not allow their rivals to reach out to their half.
Odds are fine for taking the over 2.5 goals bet in this one given the fact that both teams are quite weak in defense lately but at the same time scoring plenty of goals with Swindon being involved in the fight for the top 3 places that meaning direct promotion to the 3rd league level at the end of the normal season, their last visit here last season ended with them losing the game with 2-1 in the end while earlier this season at home hosting Carlisle they won the game with 3-2 so high scoring games usually between them.

With no VAR technology in use Ashley Fletcher raced clear of the Tottenham back three in the 50th minute to slot the home side into the lead. Jose Mourinho immediately made two attacking changes for Tottenham by bringing on Erik Lamela and Giovani Lo Celso. Eleven minutes after going behind the visitors were level, after a superb cross from Serge Aurier was headed home by Moura.
Xanthi will host Panaitolikos for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Xanthi is very average in this season. They are currently on the 7th place with 19 points. However, the hosts have fallen in their shape. They have 4 losses in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Panaitolikos who's is worst team in this campaign. Visitors have low potential in attack. They have a very vulnerable defense. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, I think, they have a real chance to break the poor series. They will try to fight for at least one point. My pick - Panaitolikos to win.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax crashed out of this season's Europa League as Getafe wrapped up a 3-2 aggregate win in Amsterdam.

The Ligue Un team have identified the 19-year-old defender as a target as his contract runs out at the end of the season, and have offered him a pre-contract deal.
Pre-match talk was not only about Liverpool setting such a record but also whether they could match the Arsenal "Invicibles" achievement of going an entire season unbeaten. Few would have expected both of those records to be torn apart by a Watford side that started the day in the relegation zone and had not won in their five previous outings. Liverpool's 3-0 loss was the biggest margin of defeat for a side starting the day top of the Premier League since November 2015But that is exactly what happened.
Read the full story Video - Werner snubs Spanish giants for Premier League move - Euro Papers01:20 Milan target Wigan’s Robinson The Sun report on what could be the most surprising transfer of the whole winter window, with news that AC Milan want Wigan Athletic fullback Antonee Robinson, with the 22-year-old former Everton player set to be the subject of a £10 million bid.

Both teams with similar ambitions and both teams with same quality at the squad. Alaves is currently at the 13th place with 35 pts while Osasuna is at the 12th place with same amount of points as their today's opponents. Both teams have only one task to avoid relegation and give the performances the other teams are showing at the bottom I think they don't have to worry about anything. For this match both teams have quite a few injuries especially Osasuna which is the main reason why I bet on this. Osasuna are the better team here but with all the injuries they have and with the fact that Slaves are very solid at home this is a very possible outcome for me.
Neither side really looks like running away with the win in this game, and goals could be hard to come by between two of the lowest scoring sides in the league. For that reason we’re confident in backing this game to fall short of the 2.5 goal line and feature two or less goals.
Watford were averaging 0.5 goals per game before Pearson joined the club, showing just how far they’ve come in a short space of time and they’ve also been able to improve defensively, conceding just two goals in their past four, compared to the 30 in 17 prior to their good run of form. They will be much more confident of avoiding the embarrassment of a cup defeat to a team in League One and will be confident of ending the weekend in the pot for the fourth round.
They’ve beaten both Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, rolled over and let Southampton scratch their belly, and worst of all surrendered late goals away at Brighton and Newcastle. Tuesday night’s draw with Arsenal was the icing on a particularly soggy cake. The early-season charm of Chelsea’s youth approach after a transfer ban has now worn off, fans are frustrated and the media are circling.
That goes without saying in the present situation. However, we are now told we cannot play our remaining home games at Vicarage Road and the familiarity and advantage that brings. This against a backdrop of players who, having seen their lives turned upside down along with the rest of the world, are suddenly expected to perform as if nothing has happened, despite the rest of society probably still facing the kind of restrictions unenforceable on a football pitch.
Denver go into this game with a 17-5 home record and are just ahed of Utah Jazz, while second overall in the Western Conference. January has been a good month for them with six wins out of eight. Only three of those matches have been athome with two wins and a defeat by Cleveland. Their last three matches have all been won though.
The latest verdict came in a re-trial at Preston Crown Court after a jury in April had initially failed to come to a verdict.

Paok vs AEK is this match in Greece for the best league there where the home team favorite will be able to win and so I pick this 1 FT. The hosts so far after 17 matches played have 40 points and are 2nd in the league. Are coming from a defeat but did 4 wins in previous 4 matches played and at home they did 4 wins in last 5 matches. Guests are 3rd and are in good shape but away they are worse team and because they did 3 defeats and only 1 win in last 5 matches I try this.
Guardiola's preference for keeping his team close to full strength should see League Two mid-table side Port Vale come up against a City eleven with plenty of star quality this weekend, and that should ensure that the Citizens cruise through the contest and into the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Magpies were beaten by Burnley, Manchester United and Everton respectively during their recent dip in form, though it's interesting to note that their 1-2 reverse against the Toffees was their first loss at St. James' Park in nine top-flight games.
LOS ANGELES, March 1 (Reuters) - Inter Miami, a team partly owned by soccer legend David Beckham, made its long-awaited Major League Soccer debut in Los Angeles on Sunday and despite falling 1-0 to LAFC there were plenty of positives to take from their first appearance.

It’s the rest that matters, the relegation and the promotion. People accept it when teams don’t make it through the play-offs.
