Jurgen Klopp's men were just five games away from equalling Arsenal's unbeaten run of 49 matches, and with only trips to the Emirates and Manchester City providing imposing challenges, many expected them to complete the whole season unbeaten, as Arsene Wenger's side did in 2003-04. And Arsenal were among the first to react to their place in Premier League history remaining intact.
In the immediate aftermath of the defeat, Marta looked directly down a pitch side camera and, with tears in her eyes, delivered a powerful and emotional message for girls aiming to follow in her footsteps. Watch it below, and feel inspired. View more on twitterMeltdown of the year Guardiola was highlighting how many penalties he felt City had been deniedIf there's been a spike in managers' blood pressure in recent months, it wouldn't be a surprise if VAR were the cause of it.
While that appears well below the £39m of allowable losses set out in league rules, the sale of their Pride Park home has come under scrutiny. The Rams have leased back the ground, which was said to have been independently valued at £80m despite it being on the club's books as an asset worth £41m, from a company owned by Morris. Just months after the stadium arrangement was announced in April, the club signed England all-time record goal scorer Wayne Rooney on a player-coach deal.
Under 2.5 goals were produced in three of Groningen’s last six matches and the hosts have scored in all of those games, while under 2.5 goals were also produced in three of Feyenoord’s last six matches and the visitors have only failed to score in one of those six games. Four of the pairs; last six encounters in the Eredivisie have also seen fewer than three goals scored and the last three draws between the two clubs have all ended 1-1.
De Bruyne has been sensational since Premier League action resumed. Although Newcastle have shown signs of improvement in recent weeks, we don't see them standing up to the Belgian's quality. Back him to score anytime.
The statement also acknowledged the role played by Curtis Davies, the Professional Footballers Association's club representative. Derby boss Phillip Cocu and his coaching team, plus chief executive Stephen Pearce and his staff have agreed "significant" deferrals, with the statement adding: "The measures have been agreed as part of the ongoing work to protect the future of the club, our staff and the communities we serve, during these unprecedented times.
It is a bit of a shock to everybody," said Robinson. Football is the centre of most people's communities, the gathering place on a Saturday. I think we've come away from that. The commercial product of the Premier League has disconnected. We have to re-engage though community programmes, visiting local hospitals. We want to make sure there are more yellow shirts walking around Oxford. Right now I'm seeing Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, because that's what you see on the front, middle and back pages.
It’s like he was back on the playground or in the back garden. We want them to have fun, there’s nothing dangerous out there - just 75,00 people, wanting to see the best," he said. With some questioning Solskjaer after the club's worst start to a season since 1988-89, the win which moved United up to sixth, was a major boost.
Watford v WolvesWatford's players are enjoying life under Nigel Pearson. I watched his first game in charge at Liverpool and they created more chances than any other team I have seen visit Anfield this season. Wolves have a bunch of good players - not just four or five. They caused Liverpool problems last time out in a game overshadowed by VAR, which is turning into a bit of a farce. Media playback is not supported on this device MOTD2: 'VAR is affecting spirit of the game' Watford, though, are full of confidence after two wins and a draw in their last three matches.
The Canaries need a minor miracle to claw back the seven-point gap between them and safety before the season finishes, though a win on Saturday would help them to hold on to a shred of hope that survival is still possible.
As United's players gathered in a corner in a jubilant huddle, many of their Leicester counterparts were on their knees. But United still have much more to do before they can get anywhere near their previous status. A place in the top four is only the starting point - the least they and their vast support should expect. Manchester United finished 33 points behind champions Liverpool and 15 adrift of second-placed Manchester City.
Fourth hosts second in this top Belarus Premier League game. Both are in good form and a win for Shakhtyor will take them above Energetik. The home side are known for thier tight defence but are scoring a fair few goals too with 16 in 11 games. Energetik struggled last weekend to get a 3-3 draw with Vitebsk. Up against the Shakhtyor attack, they may well struggle again so go for a home win.
Ajax have a tough task to qualify for the next round. Keeping a clean sheet is going to be important for them. Just one Getafe goal will leave Ajax needing to score four in 90 minutes to have a chance of qualifying. Getafe have a 2-0 lead but their away form isn't that hot. Ajax need to get off to a good start, scoring the first goal is going to be crucial. Back them to win this match.

Fernandes was excellent again, although he was rightly denied the chance to give United victory in injury time when VAR overturned an awful decision by referee Jon Moss to award another penalty when he simply collided with Dier. The Portugal star has still been directly involved in six Premier League goals, three goals and three assists, since his debut in February following his move from Sporting Lisbon, two more than any other player in that time.
Unfortunately for the hosts, since their promotion back to League 2 they have been unable to make Brisbane Road much of a fortress and they have won just twice on home soil, and with a total of 10 points earned at home, they have the joint worst home record in the league. It is easy to see why too, as they have the second worst defensive record in the league and with just three goals scored in their last four home matches, it is not as if they can go toe to toe with the visiting sides.

Wilson missed a glorious chance to equalise midway through the second half but could not connect with Ryan Fraser’s low cross, before the visitors were given their technology-assisted lifeline. Godfrey looked to have got away with a scything tackle on Wilson, but Tierney changed his mind after heading to the monitor.
The rapid spread of coronavirus has raised fears of a pandemic, with eight countries reporting their first cases and the World Health Organization raising its global spread and impact risk alert to "very high".

Chess is probably the last thing you'd associate with a footballer but I know you're a big fan. How did that start?Just growing up. Everything was really competitive between me and my brothers, and our dad is a big chess fan and he taught us all to play and we found that it was something else we could be competitive in. Has that competitiveness with your brothers helped mould you into the footballer you are today?I'd say they've played a massive part in my mentality, and even the amount of football we used to play growing up has helped me because, without even knowing it, I was putting that practice in.
We thought about Ibrahimovic when Ancelotti was in charge, as he would have taken a certain role. Now before thinking about him, I have other priorities, as this is a team that must play in a different system. Arsenal execs pictures leaving Arteta mansion Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham and chief negotiator Huss Fahmy were pictured leaving Mikel Arteta's Manchester mansion in the early hours of Monday morning as speculation intensifies that the Spaniard could be Unai Emery's permanent replacement at the Emirates.

The only references to the pandemic were the by-now familiar non-handshaking pre-match team greeting and a PA announcement saying there was no guarantee next week’s match at St Albans City would go ahead “in these difficult times” — but that the beer and food outlets would be open all afternoon. I’m more worried about us going down than I am about catching this bloody bug,” said 75-year-old Archie Harrison, adding that he had supported Hamlet since 1964.
It was hard to discern any kind of plan. Emery OutGetty Images Emery arrived at Arsenal with a reputation for having a sophisticated pressing system. Initial signs were that Arsenal were going to be more proactive and organised. But that soon disappeared. Formations have come and gone, players, like Lucas Torreira, given instructions which have confused them.
To expand on the old saying, the season is a marathon and not a sprint in which any side will have periods when they are on top of their game and other periods where they are not at their best. This weekend sees Newport County look to kick back into gear following their recent blip as they face off against an Oldham Athletic side who are looking for some form ahead of the hectic festive period.

Central Coast have an awful scoring record this season, averaging just over 1 goal a game so far and they’ve only managed to score twice or more in the same game three times this season. At the other end they’ve not performed well either, conceding 21 goals in 13 games and struggling to keep clean sheets with just one so far this season.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says he "did not disrespect" the referee despite being sent off following a disallowed goal at the end of his team's 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Ancelotti went onto the pitch at full-time to confront Chris Kavanagh after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury-time strike was ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee. Gylfi Sigurdsson was lying offside in front of United goalkeeper David de Gea when the goal was scored, leading VAR to rule it out.
It is a little over two years since Jadon Sancho made his first league start for Borussia Dortmund but such is the club's commitment to youth, they are already talking about two even younger players to highlight their approach. In December, Sancho became the youngest player to reach 22 Bundesliga goals, having already become the youngest Dortmund player to score 10 league goals in a single campaign in 2018-19.
Yet eras come and go in football. Whenever Guardiola goes, City would have had a rebuilding job to do and that will not change, even if signing players might be slightly more difficult. The bigger issue is the damage to City's reputation. Ever since the badly handled dismissal of Mark Hughes in 2009, City have prided themselves on doing things the right way. They believe, with some justification, they have a good reputation.
Everton, do however, take on an Arsenal outfit that have been largely dreadful away from home in the Premier League this season. The Gunners won on their last assignment at West Ham, though that 3-1 triumph was one of two away victories that bookended another six winless matches in between.
We announced the signing a few days later and the SAS was formed. Midfielder Mark Atkins, who scored six goals in 34 league appearances: "It was a signing of real intent. We needed it because Kevin, who was our second top scorer the previous season behind Shearer, was injured. We needed somebody to push us on. Gallacher: "I always say tongue-in-cheek that if I hadn't broken my leg then Blackburn wouldn't have bought Chris and there wouldn't have been the SAS.
In an interview with Sport, Abidal had discussed former manager Ernesto Valverde's tenure at the club, and was quoted as saying: "A lot of players were not happy and did not work much and there was also a problem with internal communication. The relationship between the coach and dressing room was always good, but there are things that as an ex-player I can sense.

Budge was once of the view that 42 senior clubs was too many for Scotland. You're looking at half that number," she said in 2016. Now she'll be arguing for a model that will likely increase the number of senior clubs to 44. When crisis hits, expedience rules. Perhaps we're at a point now where clubs can set aside their own personal agendas and vote for a reconstruction model that would undo the injustice perpetrated on Partick Thistle, but we'd be as well holding on to our scepticism for now.
