We will take this second half as an example for the rest of the season. MONDAY'S STORIES 17:05 - That's all folks That’s it from us for today, but be sure to follow live text updates as Arsenal look to get back to winning ways against West Ham at the London Stadium tonight. Coverage starts at 7pm on Eurosport.
Real world head to this game as light favorite, because they are already in the post season playoffs, and because of the recent playing shape at both sides. Madriz still could have advantage of the home ground, in the first round of the playoff, and they need to make three points here, in order to jump to fourth place.
Saint-Étienne have now won just three of their last eleven games in all competitions. Under Claude Puel they are level for the third most goals conceded in Ligue 1 in that time and despite them losing just one home match under the Frenchman, they have really struggled against extremely beatable teams like Amiens (2-2), Oleksandria (1-1) and Gent (0-0). They have conceded 17 goals in their last seven games now and will need to be on top form as they host Nantes.
It is going to be hard for the Hammers, though, because Chelsea are looking good at the moment and Christian Pulisic has been quality. The pace they have got in their attack is unreal. THURSDAY Sheff Utd v Tottenham (18:00 BST)Sheffield United are another side who have lost their cutting edge - which is something I thought would be an issue when they first came up to the Premier League. I thought the Blades had Championship-level strikers who would struggle to score when they made the step up.

Blackburn and hull city sit within the same region on the championship log with Blackburn performing better than its opponent hull who have lost 4 out of their last five games. Goals have not been highly forthcoming among the two teams but a guarantee of at least two goals on this game is a probable prediction that is achievable .Blackburn welcome the struggling hull with only four points seperating these teams with Blackburn not wanting to drop points while the struggling hull seeks redemption by a win over Blackburn to kickstart their recovery. This will be a high scoring game
Klopp was unhappy with his own yellow card, too: "It was too much. I am pretty sure, was it a throw-in for us before the first goal? That doesn't help to stay calm. All human beings make mistakes. However he was adamant the tie is far from finished, saying: "Welcome to Anfield. It is not over yet. Virgil van Dijk conceded that Atletico made the most of their chances and that Liverpool had it all to do in the return leg.
One thing is a nice reaction, another thing is support. So I think a nice reaction is probably to me but then during the game the support will be for Solskjaer - that's the nature of the game. That's the nature of a place with an incredible history and with fans that understand clearly what the passion for a club is.
He has been training though, I don't know if they are bluffing. It is not the situation they wanted because in the last two seasons he missed a crucial Champions League match and they must want him fully fit. Neymar is great but so are Mbappe & Di Maria' - Dortmund boss'We don't buy superstars, we make them' - how Dortmund develop young talentSimeone's last stand?Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool are looking strong to make it three finals in a row after coming top of Group E and face an Atletico Madrid - runners-up behind Juventus in Group D - at the Wanda Metropolitano, where the Reds lifted the trophy for the sixth time last year.
By the age of 18 - after a short stint working in a powder paint company - Smith was embarking on a 16-year playing career as a centre-back which would take him from Walsall, where he was captain at 19, to Port Vale via Hereford United, Leyton Orient and Sheffield Wednesday. During his playing days, he frequently nipped back to watch Villa when time allowed. Before he became a manager, you'd see him down the match occasionally," said Dave Woodhall, editor of the Aston Villa fanzine Heroes & Villains, who would give a lift home to Smith from reserve games when he was growing up.
Liverpool’s dominance in the Premier League has shown no signs of abating during the festive fixture pileup, and a hard fought 1-0 win over Wolves on Sunday saw their lead restored to 13 points as we head into the new year.
Only a last-minute goal by Atletico Madrid midfielder Hector Herrera prevented Juventus from winning all three of their away games in the group stage. A world-class squad with hundreds of Champions League appearances between the members of their starting eleven, few teams will be able to compete with Juventus. Lyon are not in their category and that's why we expect an away win.
However, on Sunday Ozil had one of his best games of an otherwise miserable season in which he has provided just one assist in 10 Premier League appearances. He helped create numerous attacking moves until his late substitution, something Arteta appeared to appreciate. I am hoping that he can sustain that level every three or four days.
Russia Premier league , 23 round and match between Krasnodar and Dinamo Moskva. After 22 round Krasnodar on 3rd place on table with 11 wins, 8 draw and 3 losses games with 41 points (same points with second Lokomotiv Moskva) and a goal different 23:22. On the another side after 22 round Dinamo Moskva on 7 placed on table with 8 wins, 6 draw and 8 losses games with a 30 points and a goal different 20:25. In first part of the season this team played 1:1 on Moskva. For this teams this is first match after Corona break and my opinion is win Krasnodar with a AH -1.0.
The first leg of what some may call The Diego Maradona Derby takes place at the Stadio San Paolo in the south of Italy on Tuesday. The Champions League has been a silver lining in an otherwise dismal cloud of a season for Napoli. After finishing second in Serie A last season, it was expected that they would challenge Juventus for the title again.
Latest figures show that 246 people have died with coronavirus in Liverpool's NHS hospitals. Madrid, meanwhile, is one of Europe's worst affected cities. Spain has the second-highest number of confirmed infection cases in the world, behind the US, figures from Johns Hopkins University say. The country's death toll climbed close to 21,000 on Monday. Premier League clubs including Liverpool and Man Utd amend season ticket plansSpeaking at Monday's news briefing, UK chancellor Rishi Sunak rejected claims the government was too slow to cancel large sporting events in the days before the coronavirus lockdown was enforced.
They look at evidence such as video footage to figure out how much close face-to-face contact others had with the infected individual. Other teams have celebrated just as exuberantly. As comprehensive as the hygiene protocol is, instinct tells players that once they are on the field things are as they were before the pandemic. You can't hide your emotions," said goalscorer Vedad Ibisevic after Hertha's match against Hoffenheim.
We’re confident that both teams will score on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams are struggling for form and haven’t won many games this season but will each fancy their chances of securing three points on Saturday. However, the stats suggest that the most likely result is a draw and that we are to expect there to be plenty of goalscoring opportunities for both teams which is why we have backed a final score of 2-2.
Match factsOxford United and Manchester City met last season in the EFL Cup third round, with City winning 3-0 at the Kassam Stadium; it is their only previous meeting in the competition. In all competitions, Manchester City have lost none of their past five away visits to Oxford United (W3 D2 L0) since a 1-0 defeat in September 1985 in a top-flight encounter. This is Oxford United's first quarter-final in the competition since the 1987-88 season, when they beat Manchester United to reach the semi-final where they were eliminated by Luton Town.
It's so nice to have the fans here. I am always grateful for their support. Since I arrived here until the last day I want to fight to play as well as possible and see the Etihad full for every game. The 4-0 home victory over Fulham was the Blues sixth game at home since 20 December and the first of those in which they had failed to record an attendance above 50,000. It led Guardiola to say: "Motivation was right and hopefully in the next game against [Manchester] United, our fans can come and make the stadium full.

Leicester's diamond sparkles at Villa Sunday's win at Villa Park was Leicester's eighth in a row, a club record in the top flight and better than any run they went on in their title season. You can see exactly why they are doing so well when you look through their team, and the way Rodgers has set them up. Tactically, they have a base in their usual 4-1-4-1 formation that they have nailed down. They know it works.
This is one very interesting match who will be played today in Belarus Premier, but also reserve league and I will bet on goals here, what is for me, very very real option. So, let's start from Smolevichi, and that is team who is in last six matches, played every time with three or more goals, and also, most of that matches was with even four or more goals. BATE Borisov, on the other side, is also efficient team and in this moment, I believe that they are better team than rival. I will bet on goals and enjoy in this duel.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Al's prediction: Again, Villa have played once, and they are fighting for their lives. I fancy an upset. Everton v Liverpool (19:00 BST)I am expecting Liverpool to be the team trying to set the pace but it is optimistic to expect the kind of performance that has put them so far clear at the top of the table. As good as the Reds' front three are, they are only brilliant when they are really sharp and I don't think they will be.
You can send in your questions for future podcasts to peter. Listen to the latest Peter Crouch podcast'I threw my clubs into a lake'With chat turning to the theme of post-playing careers, the cliched football retirement plan involves taking up golf, something Crouchy has done himself. Although as he admits, it didn't initially go according to plan. Crouch: I am having golf lessons at the moment and sometimes you hit the ball and you think 'oh, that was sweet'.

Allan Saint-Maximin has trained for the last two days but tomorrow might be a bit early. The same goes for (Jonjo) Shelvey. I am hoping (Joelinton) declares himself fit.

But that was just the start of an incident-packed first appearance for the player who recently topped the Guardian's respected poll of the top 100 women's players in the world for 2019. For the sending off of Moloney, Kerr's pace helped her get to the ball first before she was clattered by the on-rushing Royals keeper, and the 26-year-old from Western Australia required some treatment on the field after the collision.
However, the Slovak goalkeeper found himself wrong-footed when Van Aanholt stepped up at the stroke of halftime and fired a free kick past his outstretched arm and into the net. Newcastle were reduced to 10 men in stoppage time when Valentino Lazaro dragged back Wilfried Zaha to prevent the winger from going one-on-one with Dubravka and the Austrian walked off the pitch even before the card was produced.
It was something of the same old story - although Arteta will surely be aware of what needs fixing when he finally gets down to the serious alterations to the team he inherited. Man of the match - Son Heung-Min (Spurs) Son Heung-min took his goal superbly and provided the assist for Tottenham's winner. Spurs still in fight for Europa League - MourinhoTottenham manager Jose Mourinho: "During the game nobody thought about it, even myself I didn't, but Arsenal had 48 hours more than us to rest, so it was hard.
If you’re a fan of Jack Wilshere's 2013/14 Premier League goal of the season winner against Norwich City – you'll love this strike too. Little picks the ball up short from a corner and plays a one-two with Leah Williamson to get herself into the box before doing exactly the same again with Jordan Nobbs to get beyond the last defender.
It's exactly what we needed. We got out of the game what we deserved. The second half performance was lot more like us. We deserved to win by more. We were the ones creating chances. Hibernian manager Jack Ross: "Before the game I spoke about us wanting to be more competitive than we had been against Rangers in the previous two games this season - and we were. I was proud of the effort. We were resolute, disciplined and hard working.
I consider this bet as an excellent one from tomorrow morning as the hosts are league leaders scoring 8 goals in their last two games alone, they only drew in their opening game of the season against strong and 2nd placed Taipei Bear W coming from 2-0 behind and winning a point in a 2-2 draw, and their next two games they dominated and won just 2-1 against New Taipei W and also against Taoyuan W which they are playing against right now, but last game they scored no less than 5 goals with Kaohsiung W who did have scoring chances as the defense of Hualien W is far from being great.
The Gunners host newly crowned champions Liverpool in another Premier League match after that, and then face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals. England Under-21 international Nketiah's case will be heard by a Football Association regulatory commission, which could increase the punishment to up to double the standard ban if it is decided the appeal "had no prospect of success" or "amounts to an abuse of process".
Man of the Match - Niall McGinnAlthough it was a Celtic victory it was the Aberdeen players who caught the eye on an afternoon where silky football was definitely not on the agenda. Ferguson and McLennan gave their all but McGinn tormented the Celtic backline from the first minute to the last and although he ended up in the losing side he can be pleased with his performance overall. We did annoy them' - reactionAberdeen manager Derek McInnes: "The intent from my team was clear today.
Loans, loans, loansWith most top-level players' deals running until summer months, and with notable transfer fees between women's clubs still relatively rare, one thing is set to be very common in this window - loans. In particular, several Championship clubs are understood to be in talks over possible loan moves for WSL players who are searching for more first-team action. Leicester City have already snapped up Bristol City striker Ella Rutherford for the remainder of the season, with the England Under-19 star having spent the first half of the campaign at Crystal Palace.
