The second half was nothing to do with tactics it was all to do with spirit and desire. Leno's costly errors - the statsChelsea are the first team to win five away Premier League games against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Since his Premier League debut in February 2018, Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 45 league goals - 22 more than any other Gunners player in that time. Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has made more errors leading to goals than any other Premier League player since August 2018 (seven).
Away team is one of the tougher rival in the league, and their recent victories against Rukh and BATE are showing the quality of the squad. Both of those matches were under 2.5 goals, and this is one of the lower average for this season. Torpedo is also very good in the league, and they have beat some of the top rivals in the competition.
Krasnodar have only kept clean sheets in 38% of their home games this season while Basel have also only kept clean sheets in that same percentage of their away games. Both teams scored in 50% of Basel’s away games this season while 62% of Krasnodar’s home games have seen goals scored at both ends of the pitch, adding weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw. The hosts are unbeaten at home domestically but did lose against Getafe in the Europa League, which is why we have backed a double chance bet in favour of Basel on Thursday. Three of Krasnodar’s last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals and the hosts have drawn three of their last five competitive matches. Basel have picked up four wins and two draws from their eight away games this season and are yet to lose on the road in Group C.
He's a proven winner. I've made it clear I'm at the stage of my career where I want to win trophies. I've made it clear I want to win them here and it's a big year for us. Former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United boss Mourinho has claimed 25 major honours but that record will be put to the test at Spurs, who have not won a title since the 2008 League Cup.
This escalation in strength at the top of the league is shown in the numbers below. There is remarkable consistency in the combined win percentage of teams finishing in the top four from the 1960s through to the 1990s but the 2000s saw a big relative increase to almost 51%, while the 2010s saw another huge leap to over 55%, even as the make-up of the top four became more varied. Essentially, fans of the English league's leading sides (whoever they were, or are) are considerably more likely to see their team win now than their parents or grandparents did in the post-war years.

These are challenging times for everyone, but in particular our casual workers," said Arsenal Managing Director Vinai Venkatesham. This gesture is intended to ease their financial uncertainty. Football Association (FA) rules say the season should end by June 1 but the FA, Premier League, EFL and women's professional game bodies, along with players' and managers' associations, have agreed to extend the formal end-date for the 2019-20 season.
Jens Lehmann Lehmann holds the longest player unbeaten run from the start of a Premier League career (47)Premier League appearances: 148Clean sheets: 54Wright: "He was one of the leaders in the dressing room. He had a bit of something (an edge) about him but also a mistake in him, maybe someone you couldn't trust one million percent.

They realised they needed a striker but, for different reasons, they couldn't get one. With that in mind, and against the background of the sacking of the manager, there was a need for an explanation for what was going on - so the club forced Abidal to do an interview with two Catalan newspapers and he was extremely open. It was the Sport one in particular that got Messi upset because Abidal suggested that the players were not happy under Valverde and did not work hard enough.
And if that name seems familiar, that’s because it is, given that Corini was the man sacked in favour of Grosso, just a month ago, after doing a pretty good job in his time at the club. In some respects this is peak Italian football, but in others it’s basic and obvious stupidity. Anyway, onwards Eugenio.

Erik’s goal shortly before halftime all but secured the title and left Tokyo an almost impossible task of having to score six goals in a half to get their hands on the trophy. Park’s sending off for a rash challenge on Tokyo striker Kensuke Nagai with 30 minutes remaining would have made only the most pessimistic of Yokohama fans worry but Endo’s goal on 77 minutes put all fears to rest.
They had gone toe-to-toe for the title. We had such a good side. We played a fantastic brand of football. A 4-1 win against UCD on the final day - 29 October 2010 - may have seemed unremarkable at the time. But it would prove to be their final match - 31 months after a 5-1 defeat by Longford in their debut. The endA financial crisis in Ireland killed Sporting Fingal. The collapse of the property market meant Gannon, the club’s major benefactor, had to withdraw funding.
It was a sort of homecoming for a man who had stood on the Kop watching Bill Shankly's Liverpool during his days as a French teacher at the city's Alsop Comprehensive School 30 years earlier. There were some inside the club who questioned how it would work even on the day he arrived. The answer was simple: it didn't. The arranged marriage did not last. Evans left in November. Houllier's pursuit of perfection was all-consuming - so much so that he almost paid with his life.
Currently, Lech Poznan is 5 points ahead of the 9th ranking (Rakow Czestochowa), 5 points, and the difference in table difference (+19 compared to -5). Basically, Lech Poznan just need to get 1 more point in the match against Pogon Szczecin in the next round 29, they are definitely Top 8.
Vissel Kobe will against Johor Darul Ta'zim in match Asia Champions league. My prediction this match could be the won for Vissel Kobe with margin score is 3 goals. Vissel Kobe have great result in every home match due to they always strong and more confidence in every home match. Meanwhile, Johor Darul Ta'zim also great result in every away match. However, I'm sure that Johor Darul Ta'zim will difficult Vissel Kobe due to Vissel Kobe have great forward like as Noriaki Fujimoto and Kyogo Furuhashi. Moreover Vissel Kobe have also good defense and surely Vissel Kobe have more chance to win on this match.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have 24 points and are placed sixth with 24 points while Tottenham have 23 points, in seventh place. Wolves have had a good season so far, by their standards.

They have eight wins in their last 15 matches but just two clean sheets in their last 12 matches.
Things are becoming a little desperate at Adelaide in recent weeks with four losses in their last four games and their lack of form has led to them dropping out of the finals series places. They had still been scoring in their games despite their poor form but they drew a blank last weekend in a 3-0 loss to Perth and things need to change quickly.
The 26-year-old joins us from Brazilian side Flamengo, where he helped the Rio de Janeiro based team win the Brazilian Serie A title and the Copa Libertadores last year,” read a statement on the club’s website. There is an option in the deal to make the signing permanent at the end of the season, the statement added.
Thursday's visitors, who've scored just one goal in five Group B matches, are without a win. They've lost three and drawn two of their five games. They did manage to hold Dynamo to a draw when the pair met in Switzerland, which may leave them feeling quietly confident ahead of this match. That said, Lugano's worst efforts have come on the road, where they've lost two out of two, scoring one and conceding three in the process.
I think we played well overall, we were defensively sound," he said. We attacked well in the first half and stepped it up in the second. Davies' assist for Lewandowski was his third in the Champions League this season and seventh in all competitions. He has won 17 caps for Canada, having become the youngest player to feature for his country when he made his debut as a 16-year-old in July 2017. Oh, and the youngster is also a huge hit on social media platform Tik-Tok, with his sketch of a scene from US show Brooklyn Nine-Nine going viral.

Marcus Rashford has scored 19 goals in all competitions this season - only Raheem Sterling (20) has more among Premier League players. Juan Mata provided two assists in a Premier League game for the first time since October 2012, also against Norwich.

Blades back to their bestIt had been a tough return to Premier League football for United, with Wilder's side having lost all three games after the restart without scoring a goal. Their lack of attacking threat had not helped their cause as the Blades failed to manage more than a single shot on target in each of those three league fixtures. But they started against Spurs with much more intent in the final third and both George Baldock and David McGoldrick found the target early on, albeit with tame attempts.
It was a first defeat since Boxing Day but they will rue another missed chance to improve their top-four claims after also drawing at Brighton earlier this month.

Had this fixture arrive a month earlier, it would probably be viewed as an unwelcome distraction for Southampton, who not long ago were scrapping right at the foot of the table. However, after a promising few weeks and a fruitful festive period, The Saints are on the up.

City dominated possession and chances but at the very start and at the end of the encounter, Villa showed they could threaten the reigning Premier League champions. Anwar El Ghazi headed a good chance over for Villa after three minutes and the game finished with City defending stoutly. Against Man City you are going to have to be patient, disciplined, but if you can go toe-to-toe like we did at the death, with Bravo pulling off a great save, that performance will get you wins against a lot of teams in this league," Smith said.
We decided to call him Parched because during pre-season training it was intense - after you'd done your running or your training you'd go for a drink.

Their form over the last 12 games is second only to Liverpool's. What is more their next three games are against Watford, Aston Villa and Norwich City before they take on Manchester City and Liverpool back-to-back either side of Christmas. The fly in the ointment could be speculation linking Rodgers with the vacancy at Arsenal, and the manager did little to quash it when admitting after the Everton game there was a release clause in his contract.

Aston Villa - final position, 17th Media playback is not supported on this device Villa defensive improvement key to staying up - Alan Shearer Left it very late to save themselves with the win over Arsenal and the draw at West Ham United - regrouped well after the break in the season but got lucky with goalline technology and Sheffield United's "ghost" goal.

It is not just two squads, there is a lot more involved and it puts more people at risk. A return to action on 8 June would require full training to begin by 18 May and some clubs - Arsenal, Brighton and West Ham - have opened their training grounds to players for individual work.

Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona) WHY COULD HE MOVE Who sees Dembele in a Barcelona shirt next season? Anyone? Maybe the player and his agent.

It's heart-wrenching to see. Coventry made the move after owner Sisu, the London-based hedge fund, failed to agree a deal with rugby union Premiership club Wasps, who own the Ricoh Arena. The 1987 FA Cup winners had no option but to agree a second groundshare in six years or face expulsion from the Football League. Two sides of St Andrew's are closed at Sky Blues home games. The club's average attendance has plummeted from 12,362 last season to just 6,219.
It was everything together. Cheeky, 10-years-old, which I think is a nice age where you should start being cheeky and it was smart as well. It was just that I thought it's a good idea. Try it. Why not?" Liverpool head into Monday's Premier League home game against relegation threatened West Ham United a whopping 22 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and winning their first league title in 30 years now seems inevitable.
Neale Cooper and I had got used to standing at the side of the Pittodrie pitch. Two Aberdonian schoolboys - best friends - frozen, waiting behind the Beach End goal to scurry away after shots. But only a few years later, we found ourselves a long way from home and from our ball boy duties, yet still side-by-side. We were lying in adjacent beds in the team hotel, buried somewhere in the Swedish forest, dreaming about beating Real Madrid in a European final the next day.
