When Mauricio Pochettino took over as Tottenham manager in 2014, the club had managed only two top-four finishes in 22 Premier League seasons. Under the Argentine they achieved that feat in four of his five seasons in charge and reached a Champions League final, the first in the club's history. Yet for all his success in that time - his tally of 382 Premier League points ranks behind only Manchester City (446), Liverpool (404) and Chelsea (398) - he has paid the price for a poor start to this season and been sacked with Spurs 14th in the Premier League.

In this moment, Partizan is really much better team than Mladost Lucani and I believe that this will be routine win for them. This team is pretty good in all lines, but in the same time, they will not won the title, because Red Star was just brilliant. Their biggest rival will be play again in qualification for Champions league, and Partizan will be second, that is clear. In first part of season, Partizan is lost against Mladost Lucani and team will be very motivated to beat them this time, at home. I will try with -2, because that is real option.

The first game between them played at Liverpool saw 7 goals scored in it and no, Liverpool did not score all those goals as they conceded no less than 3 goals as they easily made it 3-0 in the first half and Salzburg replied by scoring 3 goals in a row and made it 3-3 but Salah scored the 4-3 goal and that was the way the game ended. And Liverpool treats this game really serious as they are in danger of leaving this competition if they lose today.
This will be Burnley's first game back and Sean Dyche's side are the one team who might buck the trend and be at it straight away - being competitive, and tackling. But City have the massive advantage of having played once already, on top of the fact they are a much better team of course. Burnley might still be full of running, harassing and chasing - but only for 70 minutes, not for 90. Lawro's prediction: 3-0Al's prediction: Burnley are pretty good at parking the bus but I still City will break them down and end up winning easily.
Solskjaer's side were clinging on for so much of this game and squandered the big opportunities when they came in the shape of those chances for Pereira and Martial. Martial's wild finish was symptomatic of his performance. United were counting on him even more in Rashford's absence but he simply failed to deliver. He was laboured and lack-lustre. United did close down Liverpool's potent full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson for large parts of the game but there is a glaring lack of quality that has been exposed so often this season.
Watford's talismanic skipper also failed to put the ball beyond the Spurs keeper's reach when given the chance from the spot but, despite that disappointment, his side still maintained their excellent run and can move further away from danger when they face struggling Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Vikingur and Skala are very tight in terms of strength. Maybe just a little advantage for Skala which by the way started on the wrong foot this season with a defeat against IF at home 1 x 2. Last season we saw Skala winning here at Vikingur's 1 x 2. It seems though Skala is yet to start the season so maybe they are on the downside in terms of scoring. Vikingur scored 22 goals at home last season and Skala only 17. As for the conceded goals we have 16 and 13 in 13 matches each. I believe in this under
Will Brentford continue their rise up the table with a victory at Blackburn in midweek? The Bees are up to eighth following their weekend win over Reading, while the visitors have continued to improve their away form this term. They are now just two points shy of the playoffs after a burst of form, while they head to Ewood Park aiming to leap into the top six.
What a poor overall performance from the hosts in the Champions League finishing bottom a group which at first sight did not really seem to pose them any problems to qualify from either 1st or 2nd place. Still much better in the league where they are 9-3-3 this season once more fighting for a top place and to play once more in the Champions League next season as well.
Los Leones have five wins and a draw on the board from their seven outings at San Mames this season, with their sole defeat to Valencia (0-1) also being the only blot in their last 21 games in front of their own supporters. With that superb record hard to ignore and ten points gained from their last four top flight matches, Bilbao rate as a solid bet this weekend to overcome a Granada side who have claimed just one draw from their last four La Liga fixtures.

We are thinking it as football players, then ultimate you hear about it when there is a media storm, with calls for UEFA, for FIFA, for the Spanish authorities to deal with it. Bulgaria [against England]. I did not walk off the pitch when Ashley was abused 15 years ago, and you might argue that now it's OK for me to sit here in my ivory tower of a commentary box and suggest that players should walk off the pitch.
Athletic, who won the first leg 1-0 in Bilbao last month, seemed headed for a surprise exit after Granada forward Carlos Fernandez struck in the 48th minute and a header from defender German Sanchez doubled their advantage in the 76th. But Athletic grabbed a crucial away goal through Yuri Berchiche in the 81st minute to level the tie at 2-2 on aggregate, setting up set up an all-Basque showpiece against Real Sociedad on April 18 in Seville.
But I was running in my head. And when I see someone in a better position than me I always give the ball. No selfishness. In the end we win and lose together. It seems a bit strange but in every team I have been in, you see my style of play, and sometimes fans and payers don't understand that and they become a bit afraid of it - like I am not helping and not good for the team. But after a while you get used to it because this style can bring results.
All the games in this league are quite brutal' - manager reactionWolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC Match of the Day: "We performed so well, like we wanted. It was a tough game against a very good team. They were organised, but so were we. It was a game of few chances. We have to keep going. It's about where we came from.
Pogba and Dele are going to be up scoring goals so we need someone to hold. AJ: "I'd put Giovani lo Celso or Tanguy Ndombele there but if we're talking defensive wise, you have a point. Matic is solid defensively. Dele and Pogba can both attack so having three attacking midfielders doesn't really make sense.
it is not an easy match for any of the teams, therefore, it is probable that kutkosh has the possibility of adding points in this match, I even think that they can end up winning the match, although it is a complicated task but it is very possible since the THE level of play of both teams is quite similar , I think this match will end with a victory or a draw for kutkosh, the last direct duels have been favorable for kutkosh against this rival. It is a bet with a lot of risks but from my opinion it has a good chance of happening, good luck
It took Getafe a few weeks to adapt to their regular Thursday / Sunday scheduling and they began the season slowly with just one win from their first seven league matches, but they have since won six from nine to move up to 5th where they are level on points with 4th placed Real Sociedad.
This is a battle the EFL must win, or they should shut up shop. LFC need censuring and fining heavily. It's not their football. It's ours. This path we're on, forever losing out to Premier League greed has to stop. It might have to be government or supporters that have to fight for our game in the end.
We have one of the two top tow of three strikers in the world. It doesn't make any sense. A striker of Zlatan's dimension, obviously in his late thirties, still a striker that can play for any club in the world. It doesn't make sense to come to a club where we have Harry Kane. Kane scored Spurs' third goal in their 3-2 win over West Ham on Saturday in Mourinho's first game in charge of the club after replacing Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday.

We know what he brings to the team, that's why we signed him, and now is the right time for him to return," Zidane told a news conference on Saturday ahead of the match with Celta. I'm very happy that he has returned. After three months out it's like we have signed a new player. We had to be careful with him, give him a little more time and not hurry him back, but he'll be with us tomorrow.
This could be the most surprising signing of the season. Former Wales international-turned pundit Robbie Savage is set to return to playing after signing for non-league side Stockport Town in the 10th tier of English football. The 45-year-old last played for Derby in the Championship, retiring after his final game against Reading in May 2011, to pursue a career in the media.

Gerrard confirms he is close to new Rangers dealAnd it would also provide an immediate boost after the despair of Sunday's League Cup final loss to Celtic.

He remains unbeaten at home in 13 European matches, winning 10, including the last six in a row.
Billy Cann was a season-ticket holder at Newcastle United for 35 years before he decided he'd had enough. He had been watching his team since 1969 but when owner Mike Ashley sacked Chris Hughton in 2010 the 63-year-old decided not to renew and many fans have since followed. Their issues are numerous, but chief among them is an owner who they feel does not match their ambition. I don't want to give Mike Ashley any more of my cash," Cann tells BBC Sport en route to a goalless draw with bottom-of-the-table Norwich City for which he has borrowed a ticket.
Reading will host Hull City for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Reading have advantage at home stadium. However, they are not convincing team in the last matches. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Hull City who's is also not very good team. They have four consecutive losses. Yeah, the visitors have a poor results. I expect, they will try to break the poor series. I expect, another one tough match for both sides. My pick - Hull City to win.
It was strange to see him sitting in Poch's seat wearing the purple. He was relaxed, he was charming and he was witty. He said he was a new and improved Jose. He knows some of the criticism levelled at him like that he doesn't promote youth, so he was very keen to speak about young players and the academy. He knows one of the criticisms is that he spends too much money and of course we know Daniel Levy doesn't do that so he spoke about how this squad is balanced and that the players were a perfect Christmas gift.
But if people think I am going to resign for these results, they don't know me. I like this challenge. I love to be in this position. If the club wants me next season, I want to be here 100%. I want to work and live in Manchester'Guardiola's managerial history makes him virtually un-sackable. Yet the exit of Mauricio Pochettino on Tuesday, less than six months after taking Tottenham to the first Champions League final in their history, underlined how quickly managers can come under intense pressure if results go badly.
There are no real injury concerns for head coach, Tony Popovic, but he will be tempted to change things in an attempt to find a result. The likes of Bruno Fornaroli have looked a little more lively in the past couple of weeks and he’ll have a bit more motivation in this match as he comes up against his former team but things aren’t looking good for the side. Another loss here could see them 15 points from the top of the table and their hopes to retain the Premiers Plate in tatters.
We wanted to give something back to our supporters, although we were already relegated," Siewert remembers. The players] were doing my things on the pitch, but already I could feel there was a deeper problem. After such a period when you lose so many games, it's painful, and this was in their heads; you could see it within the players.

Obika got the better of the Motherwell defence before guiding his second past Gillespie, then turned provider for Foley to lash a shot at the goalkeeper.

A truly stunning one-handed save by Gillespie kept out Cammy MacPherson's shot before Obika again rampaged forward and set up Foley, who this time found the net.
Running from deep, he met Angelino's cross with a glancing header and left the away side with a mountain to climb. Tottenham were out very early for the second half, but there were few signs to suggest a comeback was possible. Leipzig were dangerous on the break throughout the match and substitute Forsberg put the cherry on top of one of the biggest wins in the club's history with his first touch.
England's first chance came from nowhere when Keira Walsh lifted the ball into the box for Nikita Parris but after taking the ball down beautifully, the winger headed directly at Alyssa Naeher before the lineswoman ruled her offside.
