Injuries to Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son meant they played without a recognised striker, but it was again their defensive vulnerability which will concern Mourinho most. He has a tough task of lifting his team ahead of their FA Cup fifth round tie at home to Norwich on Wednesday night. MAN OF THE MATCH Diogo Jota (Wolves): The 23-year-old was at the heart of every Wolves attack.
Given what we've seen from this pair in recent weeks, it's easy to envisage a game full of goals unfolding at Loftus Road. Therefore, punters probably won't go far wrong with 'Over 2.5 Goals' and the like, though the best approach in terms of price appears to be 'Swansea to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. The visitors haven't scaled the heights in terms of goals scored of late, but they remain very capable scorers, especially on the road, where they've not drawn a blank since September. Add in that they're the fourth best team in the Championship in terms of touches in the opposition box, combine that with the fact that QPR have conceded two or more in ten out of 14 at home this term, and visiting goals are become hard to oppose.
The Mourinho effect Frank Lampard's Derby County team knocked Jose Mourinho's Man Utd side out of the Carabao Cup last seasonSunday's match sees Lampard face Mourinho - who managed him during two spells in charge of Chelsea - for the first time in the Premier League.

I won the Champions League with Porto and three months later I was playing against Porto – that is life. I’m not Chelsea, I’m not United, I’m not Real Madrid, I’m not Inter – I am all of them, I gave everything to all of them and that is what I am going to do here, give everything. Jose's message for Poch Mourinho began his first press conference as Spurs head coach with a message for Pochettino.
She was lucky to be onside as she received the ball on the run, taking it past defender Grace Fisk and firing it in from outside the box. West Ham manager Matt Beard's protests about the lack of offside ruling against Cuthbert earned him a yellow card. Chelsea's fifth goal came as England scored her second of the game in the 56th minute with a headed goal from a corner. In the 61st minute Mjelde stormed into the six-yard box to fire a cross into the back of the net just as Brosnan thought it was coming safely into her hands, making it 6-0.

Feyenoord and Sittard will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Feyenoord this season have the following results: 12W, 7D and 3L. Meanwhile Sittard have 6W, 6D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the hosts will payout this week and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0 between the pair. Feyenoord have struggled for consistency both domestically and in the Europa League but head into Thursday’s match in the midst of a four-game unbeaten streak, while Rangers are yet to win on the road in Group G but head into the game unbeaten in their last nine matches and will be confident of securing an away point that would suit the visitors much more than it would their hosts.

BARCELONA, March 6 (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Quique Setien has echoed Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp in saying football managers should not be asked their opinion on the impact of the coronavirus. Klopp was widely praised this week for questioning why people with no medical background should be expected to weigh in on the health crisis, which has claimed over 3,300 lives and led to major sports events being postponed or played without spectators.
Forest cottoned on to the 34-year-old's influence, always ensuring he was tracked and denied space in deep areas. Rooney was unable to instigate attacks, while Forest's holding midfielders Samba Sow and Ben Watson also condensed the defensive space and prevented Duane Holmes, Jason Knight and - crucially - teenager Louie Sibley from making an impact. Forest were able to get numbers back and rely on the solid defensive shape which has served them so well this season and rarely looked troubled after going ahead.

With a single point separating the first three teams, the top of Serie A hasn't been as tight at this stage of the season for 18 years. STRUGGLING SARRI BLASTS 'SUPERFICIAL' JUVENTUS Maurizio Sarri is facing mounting pressure after his Juventus side fell to a shock 2-1 defeat by Hellas Verona on Saturday.
In theory, this is still a season of promise. A place in next season's Champions League can still be won. A trophy can still find its way into the United cabinet. However, the balance is delicate. United are now behind Sheffield United in the Premier League and 14 points adrift of Leicester, let alone Liverpool, who have more than doubled the 35-point tally Solskjaer's side have amassed from 25 games.

We think Sevilla should be fairly comfortable without any pressure in this game and we're predicting they'll be on the right end of the scoreline at both half time and full time, getting an early lead and keeping hold of it for the entirety of the match. So far they've scored 5 of their 12 goals in the first half and the remaining 8 in the second, scoring well throughout the 90 minutes.
Beth Mead scored a late consolation for the Gunners but it was all Chelsea in Borehamwood, who are now poised to leapfrog both Arsenal and City owing to their game in hand.

League match where they will face the Marino de Luanco and Coruxo. Marino de Luanco is a team that usually scores few goals and concedes goals. It is not very offensive, at home he usually scores and fits few goals. Raise your level when you play at home. It has a bad attack. Coruxo, meanwhile, is a team that scores few goals and fits. It is a little offensive team. Outside the home he usually scores very few goals and fits them. Lower your level when you play away from home. It is a bad visitor and for now it is the worst attack of the group.

That will be a brilliant experience for our players and fans to have that part of the tournament at home. We then have to go on the road like everybody else and it becomes more like a normal tournament for the knockout phase. If we are good enough to get to the semi-finals then we have the advantage of that being at Wembley, which would be brilliant. Is getting to a semi-final at Wembley the target?It's hard to assess what our target would be.

Odds are a bit too low for the over 2.5 goals bet but feel there are quite decent chances to see 4 goals scored in this one with Barnsley being bottom but scored in their last 9 league games and scored 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 games despite failing to win any of those fixtures, their defense is soft, while Middlesbrough is in good scoring form with two 2-2 draws.

Wolves are without a win in their last 10 competitive away visits to face Manchester United at Old Trafford (drawn two, lost eight) since a 1-0 win in February 1980. Manchester United have been taken to an FA Cup third round replay for the first time since 2012-13, when they eliminated West Ham at Old Trafford. Wolves have lost nine of their 10 previous FA Cup away third round replays, winning the other versus Oldham in 2007.

This is a match from Argentina Primera and I believe that we can see here at least two goals and with a little luck maybe even three or more. So, both rivals are played on that way in last period and that is reason for this bet. Patronato is team who is in last round played in league 1-1, and in the same time, they are five matches without lose in league. Talleres Cordoba, on the other side is team who is in great match beat Huracan Buenos Aires 4-2 in previous match in league. Yes, over 2,25 is ok for me.
Reims are also a team in need of a win as they have drawn their last three games. They all came against beatable opponents but Reims' lack of goals came back to bite them each time. The Champagne club have been extremely solid at the back this season with them drawn with PSG for least goals conceded but they have also managed to keep their goals scored tally low.
Keane was one of a number of expensive recruits made by then manager Ronald Koeman in the summer of 2017Keane first began to experience problems shortly after joining Everton for a club-record equalling £30m fee from Burnley in July 2017. He suffered an injury during a Carabao Cup tie with Sunderland when a James Vaughan tackle opened up a wound in his foot that required eight stitches. Keane played on in that game and continued to do so in the weeks that followed, taking pain-killing injections to combat an infection that would eventually inflame further and lead to a spell in hospital.
Hacken is usually one of the stronger clubs in this country although I do not really remember them winning the title since I am betting they usually finish high in the league standings, and I remember not so long ago them playing with Ventspils and defeating them a club from Latvia and also losing to Leipzig but playing well the return leg at home against them and scoring, problem was they lost away from home the first leg quite big.
They made a slow start when the Premier League resumed last month, but now they are back at the same levels as they were earlier in the season. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Samuel's prediction: Sheffield United are very good at home and so tough defensively.

This is the big game from the weekend. Final of the Libertadores Cup. The equivalent of the Champions League but in South America. Flamengo face the title defenders, River Plate. Last year River Plate won against their rivals Boca Juniors. This season they face a Brazilian team in the finals. River Plate don't have as good team as their counterpart but they are warriors and they play very well under these big games and pressure. Flamengo nas a great team. They are hungry for the Cup as they do not win it for decades and I think this is the year as they are super good. By far the best team in American Continent.
