In the last five matches, Barcelona have managed just one win, but they have nine wins in their last 15 matches, with three clean sheets and two losses. They have scored two goals or more in 11 of their last 15 matches and eight of their last 10 matches have produced over 2. They have however conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches.
I think everyone is trying to be as committed as possible to getting the season finished at some stage, whether that is in June, July or August. I hope that will happen, even if affects the start of next season. We have to wait until it is safe, though. And no-one has any choice but to sit tight and wait, because we are all just guessing when that might be. Alan Shearer was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
At both ends of the pitch, Lokomotiv have struggled to get going. They've scored less than a goal per game, while they've shipped nine, conceding two or more in four out of five. They're yet to receive a real hammering, but that doesn't really matter as their lack of attacking power has done the damage.
They have also lost more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side this season (12), bringing into question whether the players had the motivation to fight on their manager's behalf. And, for a club with Champions League aspirations and one now settled into a world-class stadium, it is perhaps this final statistic that sealed Pochettino's fate. Tottenham's tally of 14 points is their lowest after 12 games of a Premier League season in 11 years.
Even some Leverkusen fans got in on the spirit, with some spending the 19 euros required to have representations of themselves set up in the away end. And it was the pre-captured grins and celebrations from the small collection of Leverkusen supporters that proved most fitting, with Havertz continuing his superb form since German top-flight football returned. Having netted twice in Leverkusen's first game back - a 4-1 win at Werder Bremen last weekend - the Germany international slotted home from close range to give his side the lead on Saturday.
But at the same time, you could see him being himself, what he wanted to be in his mind. He was quiet but, once he played, you could see him get more and more confident. Bale was in Wales' squad for an uncapped friendly against a Basque XI but, having not featured in Bilbao, he returned home to help the Under-21s beat Estonia in Wrexham. Then, in what now seems like a symbolic transition, Bale was restored to the senior squad after Ryan Giggs was injured.
well in this game I think we are going to see some goals,past is on second place on the table, with terrific performance at home this season and versus a bad gornik zabrze defense on the road they should surely score at least two goals but on the other side gornik is a team which likes to compete, they are safe on the middle and they have nothing to lost right now so I m sure they are not going to defend a lot tonight and I think it is pretty realistic they are going to score at least one goal too
Coventry City’s ongoing issues with the owners of the Ricoh Arena means that they have had to play outside of city for the last few months, but after agreeing a temporary ground share with Birmingham City, they have made St Andrews a bit of fortress. The Sky Blues currently boast the second best home record in League One with an impressive 24 points from their 11 matches on home soil, and they know that if they are to maintain this form into the rest of the campaign then it positions them strongly in terms of challenging for promotion.

Their only win in the period came against struggling Bournemouth and the result against Everton presented the only clean sheet in seven matches across all competitions. They are a different side in the Premier League though; in the last 15 league matches, Liverpool have 13 wins. They failed to score in just two but having conceded against West Ham, Watford and Bournemouth in three of their last four games, leaves questions over their defence.
Describing them as trailblazers, Baer-Hoffmann said: "Now we have a hypocritical rule that says if you do it in our venues, we think this is a sanctionable offence. This is absolutely unacceptable. Players are humans first and they have the same rights to express themselves and we will defend those rights if push comes to shove.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last five away Championship matches. Fulham have scored more than one goal in just two of the last 11 matches. Derby County have scored in 15 of 17 Championship matches at home. Derby County are unbeaten in six matches at home. Fulham have three wins in the last four matches against Derby County.
The same goes for their hopes of success in Europe when they pick up their Champions League campaign against Real Madrid next month too. They might not have retained their Premier League title, but they are still a very good team indeed. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Jimi's prediction: Arsenal are going to get one, but we are going to win it. SUNDAY Bournemouth v Southampton (Premier League, 14:00 BST)Southampton are playing some really nice football at the moment and look confident on the ball, which is great to see.
Even on their travels, Shrewsbury are a very tough team to beat. They were beaten by Doncaster last time out on the road, but they weren't battered, while they've lost only two of their last nine on the road. During that time, they've kept five clean sheets, which bodes well ahead of a match against a Fleetwood side that hasn't exactly been scoring left, right and centre of late.
15 out of 17 Atletico Madrid league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Only 11 goals have been scored in eight Atletico Madrid away games this season. Atletico Madrid have only conceded five away league goals this season. Real Betis had a shaky start to the season but come into this game against fifth placed Atletico Madrid in good form.
Wolves have played 47 matches this season, one more than in the whole of last season. Wolves have kept four clean sheets in their past five Premier League games, as many as they in their previous 25. Seven of the past nine league meetings between Wolves and Brighton at Molineux have ended as draws, with last season's encounter at Molineux also finishing goalless.
Those instructions were apparently ignored by Mason Mount, who was pictured having a kickaround with his old mate Declan Rice and some others at a football centre near Barnet, north London. I mean really: come on guys. It perhaps acts as a microcosm of how the UK has treated this crisis thus far, in that it’s taken a good while for people to realise that it’s actually pretty serious, and apparently plenty aren’t quite there yet even now.
Hamburg have slipped out of the automatic promotion places. They need to get back into winning ways after that giving away that two goal lead at Stuttgart, then conceding in the 92nd minute. Home form is better though and up against relegation-threatened Wehen, they can get an important win here.
On Monday, FC Dallas were forced to withdraw from the tournament after 10 players and a member of support staff tested positive for coronavirus. And there are fears a second team may withdraw as Nashville SC have confirmed five cases in their squad, with some reports stating as many as nine players are infected. Major League Commissioner Don Garber said: "If we find that we have a situation with Nashville where they can't continue in the tournament we will make that decision and move forward from there.
Manager Lucien Favre is the fourth man in five seasons to try to emulate Klopp's achievements, so while demands are high, Ricken believes fans provide an environment that allows youngsters to continue to progress. Halfway through the last season under Jurgen Klopp in 2014-15, we were 17th in the table," he said. But the supporters were so thankful for the times they had before, that when we lost another match they still gave the players a big hand to give them courage for the next matches.

In order to be recognised as the world's oldest professional player, Bahader must play at least one more 90-minute game. Should Bahader be picked to play, a representative of Guinness World Records will attend his second match later this month to assess his claim. The current record for the oldest professional soccer player is held by Israel's Isaak Hayik, who played in goal last April for Israel's Ironi Or Yehuda, aged 73.
The Greek government announced on Sunday that all professional sports events for the next two weeks will be played without spectators. On Monday, Uefa confirmed it was the case for this fixture. Wolves had sold 1,000 tickets for the match. There is also disappointment that the match will be played without home and away supporters, as that is part of what makes European competition so special," said Wolves.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has launched a fundraiser to help fight coronavirus and has called on fellow footballers to help "kick this virus away". The AC Milan striker plays in Italy, the country so far worst affected by the pandemic other than China. It appears Ibrahimovic has made two 50,000 euro (£46,054) donations. Italy has always given me so much and, in this dramatic moment, I want to give back even more to this country that I love," Ibrahimovic said on Instagram.

Norwich City have avoided defeat in back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time this season. Since his Premier League debut in February 2018, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 27 goals in games played on Sundays - more than any other player has scored on a day of the week in that time. Norwich City's Teemu Pukki ended a run of 18 shots and 773 minutes without a Premier League goal, scoring his first league goal since September against Manchester City.
Centre back Eric Bailly's recovery from a long-term knee injury means Rojo has fallen further down United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's pecking order. Rojo's departure leaves United with four fit central defenders - Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Bailly and Phil Jones - with the injured Axel Tuanzebe not expected to return from the sidelines until after the mid-season break next month.
We will be able to make those repayments as hitting these targets, which the players can directly influence, will mean our financial position will be stronger," Arsenal said. The agreement is based on the assumption we will finish the 2019-20 season and receive the full broadcasting revenues. The resulting savings will help cover some of the financial risks we have this season in relation to our matchday and commercial income.
The match was due to take place behind closed doors as Europe battles to contain the coronavirus outbreak. However, Spain cancelled all direct flights from Italy for two weeks on Tuesday in a bid to stop the spread. Several Arsenal players in self-isolation, Man City match postponed "AS Roma will not travel to Spain for the Europa League match against Sevilla after the plane from Italy was not authorised to land in Spain.
Braithwaite at least gives Barcelona, and Messi, an outlet, someone to stretch the pitch and create space. Video - Juventus seek big favour from PSG to sign Inter star – Euro Papers01:20 Suggestions have been made that Messi is carrying an injury and has been for a number of months. That would at least explain some of his lethargic performances of late, but if Barca are still playing their number 10 because they feel they can’t cope without him that serves another illustration of where they are as a team right now.

These two clubs have a proud history in the Belarus Cup, especially in recent years. Shakhtyor are the current holders and will look to get a good lead to take to Premier League champions Dinamo Brest for the second leg. Both sides have made an average start to the new league season and their six games between them have only seen nine goals scored. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this game looks the one to make.
But Peter Schmeichel was in inspired form in the United goal, and Eric Cantona's 51st-minute strike proved decisive. A month later, in a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at Anfield - a game regarded as one of the greatest in Premier League history - Newcastle twice led before being sunk by a stoppage-time Stan Collymore winner. Keegan, deflated by the killer late goal, slumped over an advertising board in front of the away dugout, his title hopes all but slain by his former club.
His all-round game has been the glue to the vast majority of Chelsea's performances this season. If he doesn't play well, neither do Chelsea. If Willian does leave the club at the end of the season I will be very eager to see who in their ranks will replace him. Did you know? Willian is the first Chelsea player to score a penalty in three consecutive Premier League games and the sixth different player to do it in the competition.
Fortunately, United had Bruno Fernandes. His goal embarrassed Pickford, although to be fair to the England goalkeeper, he did recover somewhat. Fernandes is fast becoming the new golden boy at Old Trafford. I wonder how that is being greeted by Paul Pogba. Did you know? Fernandes had more shots (six), more shots on target (three), made more passes (58) and had more touches (93) than any of his United team-mates at Goodison Park.
Both teams are not very good, so I expect balanced match . Byttorps IF are considered as favorites probablty because they have competing in one of the lower Swedish football divisions , however they do not have much quality in their squad.
WS Wanderers failed to continue with their winning strike on their last two matches, losing by Brisbane Roar with 3-1 and drawing against Melbourne City with 1-1. Their last win against today's opponent on the hot stadium in Sydney by 0-1, using to avoid conceding and allowing the opponent to overcome the score.
Western United and Adelaide United will face each other in the upcoming match in the A league. Western United this season have the following results: 6W, 2D and 6L. Meanwhile Adelaide United have 6W, 0D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
I hope the editors involved in running this headline take responsibility and understand the power they possess through words, and the impact those words can have. LUKAKU Lukaku also released a statement on social media accusing the newspaper of "fuelling racism". Instead of focusing on a battle between two teams, Corriere dello Sport comes with the dumbest of headlines I have ever seen in my career.
LIVERPOOL FALL SHORT OF TWO RECORDS Arsenal did not play this weekend -- with their league opponents Manchester City busy lifting a third consecutive League Cup at Wembley -- but their fans had reason to cheer when Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat at Watford. Liverpool's first loss of the season means they cannot finish the campaign unbeaten to match Arsenal's "Invincibles" of 2003-04.
In my opinion these odds are really interesting to bet on an Over here: both teams have scored twice in the last round, when they have both collected the first win of their season, so scoring more than once seems to be likely for both of them this time too. The last time these teams have met here, Soligorsk has even been able to score a sum of 6 goals and they had scored 3 times in the previous match vs Neman Grodno too. In my opinion this will be a quite spectacular match with both teams scoring, so an Over is likely.

I've always been painting monkeys for five to six years, so I thought I'd make this work to teach that we're all apes, I made the western monkey with blue and white eyes, the Asian monkey with almond-shaped eyes and the black monkey positioned in the centre, where everything comes from. The monkey becomes the spark to teach everyone that there is no difference, there is no man or monkey, we are all alike.
