As this semi-final went deep into first-half injury time after a lengthy stoppage while Eric Bailly was treated for a head injury, Chelsea mounted one last attack. Olivier Giroud's near-post flick came at De Gea quickly but his clumsy, jumbled attempt was hapless and the ball ended in the back of the net. De Gea's second error, moments into the second half, was even more disturbing because Mason Mount's shot was a routine low affair from 20 yards, hardly a blockbuster.
League leaders Sivasspor are four points clear at the top of the table in what could play out as a fascinating title race. They have four teams in the European places breathing down their necks behind them, all within seven points of top spot. They travel to face the team in fifth place, Besiktas, in round 18 of the Super Lig in the hopes of furthering their lead over the chasing pack.

Leap year day a step too far for LiverpoolArsenal breathed a rather large sigh of relief on Saturday - the club itself tweeting "phew" - as Liverpool fell five games short of matching the Gunners' top-flight record 49-game unbeaten run. Not many would have seen that run ending at strugglers Watford, who began the match 55 points behind Jurgen Klopp's leaders before inflicting a 3-0 defeat. That's the heaviest loss suffered by a side top of the table against one in the relegation zone since 1985, when Leicester beat Manchester United by the same scoreline.
However, of more concern was how his side lost their shape so soon after Wolves scored their opener. They remain seven points adrift of safety with only 11 games remaining. Wolves, on the other hand, are now two points shy of fifth - which could potentially become a Champions League spot - and five behind fourth-place Chelsea. Reaction from this match and Sunday's Premier League actionPremier League predictions: This Country stars take on LawroWhat happened in the Premier League on Saturday?Jota and Jimenez back on songNuno Espirito Santo's men had only recorded one win in their past seven league games coming into the match, although there were signs his side might have turned a corner during the impressive win over Espanyol.
Atletico missed several chances to take the lead themselves, but German international Ter Stegen's incredible reaction saves - first from Hermoso's close-range shot and then Morata's header - kept Diego Simeone's side out. Messi's late winner from a perfect Luis Suarez perfect lay-off means Atletico have failed to win any of their last 19 league matches against Barcelona, a run stretching back to February 2010.
So he has this problem with mobility and that has set off a kind of depression. Imagine, he’s the King, he was always such an imposing figure and today he can’t walk properly. He’s embarrassed, he doesn’t want to go out, be seen, or do practically anything that involves leaving the house," his son added.
We think everything is set up here for a low scoring clash, with 67% of Udinese’s matches at this ground seeing fewer than three goals. They’ve had quite cagey clashes here with the sides below them in the league – losing 1-0 to Brescia and drawing 0-0 with SPAL. On top of that, Udinese have seen under 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 clashes with Sassuolo, so we see a game low on goals. We think that under 2.5 goals is the best bet here, with the pair averaging a combined two goals scored per match across Udinese’s home outings and Sassuolo’s trips.
I really don't understand why VAR has to get involved on matters that is none of its business. We were originally told that VAR would only get involved when clear and obvious mistakes were made. However what VAR's interventions are demonstrating is a lack of courage and a total abdication of responsibility by the referee. Harry Kane's disallowed goal against Sheffield United because of Lucas Moura's handball was, in the words of pundit Jamie Redknapp, one of the worst decisions he's ever seen.
City are a full 14- points behind runaway leaders Liverpool, and while their chances of catching the Reds are all but gone, a run of nine wins in 10 in all competitions suggests that City can still achieve success this season in other areas.
PSG go to this game top of Ligue 1 having managed 68 points while Nice are sixth on 41 points. For a moment, it seemed Olympique Marseille would give PSG a real run in the Ligue 1 title race but the Parisians are coasting to yet another league title, having opened a 12-point gap, with a game in hand.
Somehow 22 points behind Liverpool after only 25 games, City will have to be content with second place and must battle for it, only holding a two-point lead over third-placed Leicester. It''s a strange time for Pep Guardiola. For the first time in his City career, they have gone two games (against United and Spurs) without scoring.

In the Czech Republic Division 1, Slovacko FC plays against FK Jablonec for their seventeenth league match during the season. The home team, Slovacko FC are currently seventh on the league table, having lost just 1 match at home in the league this season. They have won 4 of the last 10 matches. The visitors, FK Jablonec are currently in the fourth position and a victory today will move them to the third position. They have won 4 of the last 10 matches and they have lost 3 of their 7 away matches, my bet on the draw and it get the higher odd today of 3.21 odd.
Lyon have kept just two clean sheets in the six matches under García and with seven goals conceded in that time. Since the arrival of Rudi Garcia, I do not find particularly strong Lyon although they arrive somehow to have the second best attack of the championship after obviously the PSG. Lyon have scored at least one goal in the past five meetings, they are good enough to score against any opponent in league 1. Nice has some elements to be worth. First Youcef Attal a defender who brings a real offensive support may prove useful against Lyon. In view of the current dynamics of both teams, I suppose that will normally score, good luck to all.
Tottenham, in eighth and four points off fifth, and Arsenal, five points off with a game in hand, will also fancy their chances of pinching the position. The battle at the bottom One side-effect of the enforced lack of matches over the past two months is that teams in poor form have a chance to reset. Aston Villa, in particular, were on a desperately poor run, with four successive defeats seeing them drop to second from bottom and two points from safety - although they have a game in hand over their rivals.
It is especially important for Bayern to show strength. For many, Sunday's game is a final, but I do not want to hear any such talk. There are another 13 games after this so a lot can still happen. Flick added that out-of-favour playmaker Philippe Coutinho - on loan from Barcelona - still has something to offer, despite being restricted to substitute appearances in Bayern's past two league games and not scoring since mid-December.
Lampard says he has only spoken briefly to Rudiger, who informed Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta of what he had heard and he told referee Anthony Taylor. However, Tottenham say their initial findings after the alleged racist abuse of Rudiger are "inconclusive". I saw Toni's social media post, I thought it was well put, from the heart and something that he feels very strongly about," said Lampard.

Maldon & Tiptree occupy second spot in the Isthmian League North Division a point behind Bury Town but with two games in hand over the league leaders, so promotion is a genuine possibility and has certainly been aided by their best ever run in the FA Cup. Newport County sit eleventh in the League Two table and have been decent but not great on the road this season, picking up two wins, three draws and two defeats.
Fortunately for the hosts, Portsmouth have struggled to get going away from home. Kenny Jackett's men, who have been on a good run of late, have found it tough to impose themselves on the road, where they've scored just six goals. Given that they've scored such a low total, it's not surprising that Pompey have won just one of their seven travelling matches. They are one of only eight teams to concede less than ten travelling goals, though that hasn't stopped from losing more than they've won or drawn, tasting defeat in four out of seven on the road.
Leeds would complain about anything. If there was any reason to claim a foul, they’d have been doing it and they weren’t complaining, they were deflated. For Chelsea it represented a historic first FA Cup win and would lead to more silverware in the following season’s European Cup Winners’ Cup. For Leeds it was an agonising near miss in a season full of them, coming in a two-week period that saw a second successive league title slip from their grasp and a European Cup challenge end at the hands of Celtic in the semi-finals.
Barca top La Liga on 28 points and have a game in hand on Atletico, who are fourth on 25 and in a dire run of form, winning once in their last six games in all competitions. Real Madrid are second on 28 points and can go clear at the top for at least a day when they visit Alaves on Saturday in the middle of a resurgent run of five wins in seven games, in which they have scored 21 goals.
I'm very fast, I'm skilful, I'm strong, I have good techniques, so I can find my way in the field of play," he said. They have a striker that stays mostly in the middle, but Martial likes to come from the side, even Rashford, so you need someone in the middle that can keep the ball, hold the ball. They need a physicality up front to keep the ball, to give and to make some movement, which I believe if everything goes well I can add to the team.

However, his first international goal was arguably his finest moment, wriggling past a couple of Portuguese defenders before gloriously scooping the ball over goalkeeper Vitor Baia.
The team and players have been wonderful to work with and the memories of what we achieved together at the World Cup two years ago will stay with me forever. The time is now right to step away from this role and seek new challenges, enabling my successor to establish themselves into the team before the next tournament. I would like to thank my colleagues and the players for their support and wish them every success in achieving their goals in the tournaments to come.

The weekend saw Zhodino miss out on the chance to go top of the Belarus Premier League.

Much of their early success came on the back of a solid defence, but that is something which has been tested of late. The visitors have managed just two clean sheets out of their last seven outings and have conceded five times in their last four home matches, which suggests that the heavy pitches are not exactly helping them. However, at the other end of the pitch they remain pretty consistent and have scored an average of 1.5 goals per game on home soil.
While teams from Asia, Africa and Mexico all relish the chance to share the stage with the big names, for the South Americans this competition has always carried some weighty prestige. I think the view on it in Europe is completely different to the view in the rest of the world. But I like pretty much to change that view a little bit in the moment, it changed for me since we are here.
Hertha BSC have had mixed results so far after the winter break with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats in the 5 Bundesliga matches. But including the cup game, they have conceded a total of 12 goals already in the 6 games with 7 of them in the 3 home games.

City's gameplan is all about getting attacking overloads in certain areas and not getting exposed by fast breaks on the counter-attack, so he has to get the balance right. Eden Hazard will miss the game through injury but Real still have the sort of fast wide players in Vinicius Junior and Gareth Bale that Pep seems to be petrified of, who love to get into those areas behind his full-backs when they go forward.
There is the chance that the hosts can cover this over bet all by themselves as they face bottom in the league Gorodeja 2 side which on the road this season lost 4-1 away at Vitebsk 2, lost 4-0 at Belshina 2, lost not so long ago 9-4 away at Zhodino 2 in a game where they were down 7-0 by half-time of the game, but very good second half from them scoring 4 times and winning it with 4-2. They have also lost 3-1 away at Energetik 2 which is also an average side and were down 3-0 there as well, were from the first half 2-0 down away at Rukh Brest 2 who missed many chances even a penalty kick to increase their lead, and overall very poor defense from them and lack of quality at least in defense.

Villa have been much stronger at home than they have been away, going unbeaten in half of their 16 matches. While their defence is leaky (Villa have only kept one clean sheet in their last 13 league games), if they were able to score more goals then they would surely have more points on the board. Villa have only scored two goals in their last seven league matches, a record that must improve in order to stay up.
