Levy may cut Mourinho more slack than Pochettino, though. This is a Tottenham team in serious need of renewal and his new manager simply does not work without ready-made, expensive players. They say that good marriages require a bit of give and take. In transfer terms, Mourinho has always wanted owners to give so he could take - while, in the same context, Levy has been reluctant to give. The Spurs chairman may be in a more benevolent mood given he has wanted Mourinho for so long, but it takes a long stretch of the imagination to believe this relationship between two such strong and single-minded individuals will not have its tensions.
The two sides have had good runs in their recent matches and if anything, this match promises to be quite entertaining. United are coming straight from a win over Chelsea in the Premier League, which pushed them to four matches unbeaten. As for Club Brugge, their win over Waasland-Beveren marked their 12th unbeaten outing.
In a parallel universe, Christian Eriksen has just stroked home the winning penalty for Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa final. The Dane, having moved from Tottenham for a reasonable £40 million due to his fast-evaporating contract, has slotted in seamlessly alongside ex-Spurs duo Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
It is not just that Leicester have dropped points; it is that they look so bereft of creativity and threat for long periods, especially before the break, when a Jonny Evans' effort from close range that was saved by Pickford was the best opportunity they fashioned. The absence of James Maddison, who sat out the cup defeat, did not help in the first half, but his introduction for the second - along with Iheanacho - at least gave them some impetus.
Newcastle United are in good form with only two losses in their last 11 league games. Only one goal has been conceded in the last five and they are scoring a few too, for a change. West Ham had a great win over Chelsea on Wednesday but that was at home. Their away form is one reason why they are still battling against relegation with ten losses in 16 played. Go for Newcastle to maintain their late surge with a home win,
They also found themselves knocked out of both the FA Cup and Champions League. Now they can concentrate on the league and somehow qualifying for Europe. Not getting into the Champions League would be a major step backwards for them. It wouldn’t do their finances any good either. Home form has seen them win eight out of 14 in the Premier League but two of the last four have been lost.
This option still poses a number of issues though and it remains impossible to predict when games could resume, even without fans in the stadiums. Cantona to return to Old Trafford? Eric Cantona could be heading back to Manchester United in an ambassadorial role. The Frenchman is a United legend, having won the Premier League title in four of his five seasons at the club.
They have a stronger squad for this tour but have injury and illness problems ahead of this first test match. Ben Stokes had to miss some training sessions due to his father being ill but thankfully he is showing signs of improvement. England may be without Ollie Pope, Chris Woakes and Jack Leach who have been ill.
You would lose a potential midfield player but I can see that working. Hayes could play a narrow 4-4-2 as opposed to having outright wingers. That would be really, really good. Rafferty added that Hayes was "not afraid to leave big players out of the team" and the Chelsea boss "probably has three or four formations up her sleeve". We are all very excited by Kerr. We want her to play every game and people will be coming to watch her but it has to be about winning first," said Rafferty.
The Houston Dash won their first National Women's Soccer League title by beating the Chicago Red Stars 2-0 in the Challenge Cup final on Sunday. Sophie Schmidt scored an early penalty before Shea Groom sealed victory in injury time from a Rachel Daly assist. It meant Daly won the Golden Boot award, having already been named most valuable player for the standalone tournament in Salt Lake City, Utah.
But any time you represent your country in the World Cup, it's an amazing feeling and an amazing honour. It didn't go the way we wanted it to, but it was a huge learning curve so that was probably the highlight. On a personal level, probably the Chicago semi-final and scoring the goal that sent them to their first final. Your football heroes growing up?"Ronaldo, but I call him the original Ronaldo, from Brazil - I always wore his jersey, never took it off.
Julien Stéphan's men showed a bit of rustiness last week as they only managed to beat Amiens on penalties in the Coupe de France. This was quite the contrast from their strong end to 2019 but nevertheless they'll be hoping to show their true quality here as they return to league action.
The bookmakers have pointed out that this game has a strong favorite with the odds for Lokomotiv Moscow win being solid. This match will be their second in their Head-to-Head history, so this match will have a large impact. If we look at the table, we could say that they will probably be right. At this moment, Lokomotiv Moscow is sitting in second place with 24:16 goal difference, with a real possibility to win it all in the end, and Tambov is 14th or third last with 18:23.
I don't want to look back. I had to pay a fine, it was not cheap. I'm looking forward to Stamford Bridge," Ancelotti said. Five of the last six meetings between these teams have featured two goals or fewer. Antalyaspor have only lost two of their 12 matches in 2020. Genclerbirligi have lost three of their last five Super Lig matches.
England's top women's leagues are planned to start next season on 5-6 September, after final league placings for 2019-20 were confirmed on Friday. Chelsea were named Women's Super League champions via a points-per-game system, Liverpool were relegated and second-tier leaders Aston Villa were promoted. The WSL and Women's Championship seasons were halted in March because of coronavirus, and ended on 25 May.
Everyone could see just how attacking minded Slavia Prague can be as this season they made it in the Champions League group stage where they drew away at Inter or Barcelona but at home lost all their games and exited the competition on 4th place not good enough even for an Europa League place but a really solid side. They played 2 games in this competition and drew 3-3 with another Danish club Aarhus, lost on penalties while they won 3-1 with Valerenga finishing 2nd their group and they were both high scoring games even with over 3.5 goals being scored.
The second leg in Turin is on 4 March. Juventus boss Sarri angers Italian Post Office with 'pressure' commentJuve were knocked off top spot in Serie A at the weekend and their boss Maurizio Sarri would have been frustrated to see his side only manage three tame shots on target in a tepid, scrappy game. But in the last minute, Ronaldo saw his scissor kick blocked by the arm of Davide Calabria, who was looking the other way.
After the departure of Romelu Lukaku in the summer, United have struggled for goals with a lack of a recognised natural centre-forward at the club. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have temporarily taken the role but the pair would definitely work well playing alongside a natural goalscorer like Haaland.
It turned out De Bruyne had not taken one for City since October 2016 but he had obviously agreed in advance that it was his turn to have a go. I think he was the right choice and if he does miss one in the future, I don't think he should stop taking them. He has just kept on getting better and better in the past couple of years and, at the level he is at now, I think he could just take it on the chin and think 'I am one of the best players in the world, look what else I deliver'.

It's bitterly disappointing to have lost, and the manner in which we've lost. We were the better team for large parts of the game. I don't think we need to analyse what went wrong I think everybody in this room and outside knows what went wrong, it's basic, individual mistakes that cost us. Sometimes as manager you can't legislate for that. We need to learn from it.

Roma draw Gent Another one of the biggest clubs have learned their opponents - Roma will take on Gent.
AZ remain the closet rivals to Ajax for the Eredivisie title this season with just three points separating the pair heading into this weekends’ round of fixtures. Willem II have surprised many with their consistency so far this season and another win this weekend could prove enough to take them above PSV and into third. Both teams have scored in five of the last seven meetings between these two clubs and each of those games have either ended in draws or have been settled via the odd goal, so we are expecting another close game this weekend.

One Premier League goal all season, and currently enduring a run of 22 consecutive top-flight games and 1,856 minutes without finding the net. Newcastle striker Joelinton's statistics don't make pleasant viewing for a player that cost a club record £40m in the summer. Manager Steve Bruce admitted after his side's 4-0 thrashing at Arsenal on Sunday that those at the club "would all like him to have 12 or 15 goals" by now.
It would be “a national embarrassment” if the top two divisions of English football are not completed, says Leeds chief executive Angus Kinnear. Leeds are top of the Championship by a point as they target a first return to the top flight since 2004. The Championship and Premier League are targeting a return in June, but a resumption date is yet to be confirmed. The time has come to stop repeatedly framing the challenges and start delivering on the solution,” he said.
He has been spiky in recent days after those two setbacks with injury and defeat - but overall Mourinho has cut a happier, more relaxed figure at Spurs than he ever did at Old Trafford. Mourinho: Loss to Leipzig like 'going to fight without bullets'Former Chelsea and Scotland winger Pat Nevin told BBC Sport: "He looks quite relaxed at the moment but he tends to be that way when he's doing pretty well.

Ultimately, we're expecting this to be a fantastic watch and it looks set to be the best Libertadores final in years. The two sides are undoubtedly the strongest on the continent and with attacking quality stacked on both sides, it's hard to envisage it being anything but a highly entertaining affair.
There are lots of things going on in the community during this coronavirus crisis that people do not realise are happening because football clubs did not want the badges on their arm, and felt it is their duty to do it.

Ings joined Southampton for £20m from Liverpool last summer after spending the previous campaign on loan with the south-coast club. With 18 goals towards Saints' total of 41, Ings has scored the joint-highest percentage of his team's Premier League goals this season along with Norwich's Teemu Pukki (11/25)"What a signing Ings has turned out to be," Lawro said. He is a brilliant goal poacher. They loved having him around the place at Liverpool because he is such a positive personality, but he did not fit into Jurgen Klopp's system so he had to leave to flourish, which is exactly what he is doing with Saints.
The closest either side came to breaking the deadlock in normal time was when Firmino hit the post, two minutes after the break. There was drama in stoppage time as Liverpool were awarded a penalty after the referee ruled that Sadio Mane had been brought down by Rafinha, but the decision was over-ruled after a VAR review found the challenge was made outside the area.

We had a great journey. You can't help but feel a bit to blame because we were out there but when I look back I gave 110% and so did all the players. I think it's so clear what Mauricio meant to the players. He helped me grow a lot. I came here as an 18-year-old and had my ups and downs here. We owe (Pochettino) a lot of thanks.
