Much like Burton at home, Tranmere have been struggling to score goals. Thursday's visitors have notched just three goals in their last five, while they've scored more than once in just two of their last 12. Given that they've kept just two clean sheets during that time, their lack of firepower is a problem.
Istiqlol Dushanbe whitewashed Dushanbe 83 with a deserved 7-0 to announce how ready and prepared they are for this season title contender. They have shown that they are capable of defending their trophy, no doubting they will be going all out again in front of goal against a weak side like CSKA Pomir. If Manuchekhr Dhalilov will renact his last game performance where he scored hat-trick then CSKA Pomir will have a big task to couple him in their back four.
Obviously, he’ll raise our game in terms of experience and quality. On the other hand, Conte now knows there will be no room for excuses if Inter continue to drop points.

Timo Werner: brilliant footballer, natural goalscorer, terrible poker player. At least, that's the impression we got following his attempts not to appear too excited about being linked with Liverpool. The 23-year-old RB Leipzig striker scored the only goal as his side beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. It was his 26th goal of the season and, after Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp recently described him as a very good player, Werner was asked how he felt to be linked with the Reds.
My proposition for this match between Pogoń Szczecin v Zagłębie Lubin is over 2.5 goals. I think that Pogoń can win this match 2: 1. In the last 5 direct matches between these teams four times have been scored over 2.5 goals. The price for this type is 2.08. Both teams played offensive before the break, so I hope that we will play at least 3 goals in this match. Lubin is a band that likes to play very offensive. In the last 10 matches on wayjdzch they have not scored any goals in the match only 3 times. GL

Leicester City will against Manchester City in match England Premier League. Leicester City on last 3 match in the home always can make total score is 7 goals.

Therefore, my prediction this match could be the end score is over 3 goals due to both team have average on last 3 match is 2 goals. Moreover Leicester City have top scorer like as Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez. Meanwhile, Manchester City have top scorer like as Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne. Surely this match will much score from both team.

The review is part of a list of '11 goals' which FIFA president Gianni Infantino has outlined for the next three years.

But the Reds played with a swagger and a dominance which would have surely pleased manager Jurgen Klopp greatly. They picked up their first clean sheet in 14 games and found new Premier League goalscorers in Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita - the 15th and 16th players to score in the competition for Liverpool this season. Going into the match, Klopp said "being top at Christmas is not important", but with a crucial Champions League game against Red Bull Salzburg coming up on Tuesday, the fact Liverpool have such a commanding lead over their domestic rivals at this stage means he has been able to rotate players to keep them fresh.

Incredibly simple goal. GOAL! Aston Villa 0-2 Man City (Mahrez). Same man again! Mistake (again) from Drinkwater as Mahrez makes it two! Villa, Villa, Villa. Masters of their own downfall here.

Guardiola's main focus over the remaining nine games of the Premier League is to secure a top four finish, which would allow him to concentrate on the second-leg of City's Champions League last-16 tie with Real Madrid, which may yet be switched from Etihad Stadium to Portugal by Uefa. Eleven points will be enough to achieve that aim, although Guardiola knows qualification for Europe next season is dependent on the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturning Uefa's two season ban when they reveal the outcome of City's appeal in early July.
That loan spell was converted into a club record £9m permanent move 12 months later, and Giuntini takes great satisfaction in seeing his former protege flourishing.

Co-manager Stuart Kettlewell described their second-half performance in the 3-1 loss at Kilmarnock a couple of weeks ago as a "capitulation". Against St Johnstone, it looked as though it would be a familiar tale.

The Perth side looked better technically and generally showed more fight and hunger to win the game.

Paper Round's view: The Italian boss signed the 28-year-old in 2016 when he was in charge at Stamford Bridge and he fast became one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League, thriving in Conte's 3-4-3 system as a wing-back. However, since Maurizio Sarri replaced Conte, the west London club reverted to a back four, which saw Alonso's form drop off.

They scored eight goals in the two wins but outwith that they scored just three goals in the other four clashes with more difficult opponents.
