Athletic Bilbao have been excellent overall at San Mames this term with six wins, two draws and just one defeat posted from nine outings, but it's been a different story altogether for them on the road.
The reaction has been phenomenal - although, possibly, getting more out of Christian Eriksen might be a bit trickier given the Dane's contract runs out at the end of the season. Yet, while he spent nearly £400m on new players during his time at Old Trafford, Mourinho seems to have inherited a more rounded squad than he ever managed to put together in Manchester. In Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Davinson Sanchez, he has three effective options in central defence, the position he was blocked from strengthening in his final year at United.
The Conservatives are leading the opposition Labour Party in opinion polls before the Dec. The party said that the investment was part of a 2 billion pound plan to ensure that by the time of the 2030 World Cup, every family in England would on average be 15 minutes from a local football pitch. The money will also be used to support growth in women's football.
The starting gun was fired in this creative arms race back in 2018. Two years earlier, global giants Nike had released England's European Championship kit to, at best, a lukewarm reception. One of the chief complaints was that the kit was based on a 'Vapor' template that was also used by other Nike-equipped international teams, including Portugal and Poland. There were no such complaints about Nike's effort for Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia.
When I was a player I remember Platini arriving at Juventus from Saint Etienne (at 27). It took him six months to adjust and that was Platini," Ancelotti told the British media. I had the same problem with Hirving Lozano when he came to Napoli and he was two or three years older than Kean. We should always be patient with young players.
Sangju Sangmu Will Play Against Gangwon in K League 1 of the South Korea. Sangju Sangmu lost their first game of the season to Ulsan Hyundai while playing on road. Ulsan Hyundai didn't given any opportunity to Sangju Sangmu and won that game by 4-0. While Gangwon made good start of this season and Defeated Seoul by 3-1 in the last game. Seoul taken lead in the first half but Gangwon scored three goals in the second half and sealed game by 3-1. Sangju Sangmu Failed to kept clean sheet in most of the games and Gangwon likely to win .
There was a minute's silence in the centre circle," recalled Paul Edwards, Town's goalkeeper that day - a lifelong Reds fan and one of several Liverpudlians in that team. There I was, against the team I'd followed since I was a lad, stood 20 yards away from my heroes," he told BBC Radio Shropshire. In the background, I could see the Liverpool supporters, of which I counted myself as one. And when they played 'You'll Never Walk Alone' over the tannoy, that was me gone.
The question is whether he wants to continue to play that role. Video - Pogba edges closer to Madrid - Euro Papers01:15 Soyuncu planning Leicester stay Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu has ruled out leaving the club in the summer transfer window. His performances this season, during which he has made 35 appearances in all competitions, have reportedly caught the eye of Manchester City.
Burnley have been in excellent form in the last weeks in the Premier league with 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 games including a win at Manchester United and a draw at home to Arsenal. With the results they have climbed to the 11th place in the league.
Colchester have scored 17 goals on the road so far and Morecambe have only netted 12 goals in their own backyard and have conceded 18 times, so you can see why we are backing Colchester to win this weekend. 50% of Morecambe’s home games and 62% of Colchester’s away games have featured over 0.5 goals at half time, which suggests that if Colchester do go on to win this game 1-0 as we have predicted then the goal will be scored during the first forty-five.
Dembele proved his worth at Celtic where he won back-to-back domestic trebles before moving back to France in 2018. The French forward has also attracted the interest of Manchester United in previous months, with the Red Devils viewing him as a Romelu Lukaku replacement last summer. It seems like Chelsea will either need to up their bid or return in the summer if they want to bring Dembele to Stamford Bridge.
MANAGER: Sam Allardyce (Crystal Palace) Building a team of the decade means stacking the attack with legends is crucial. Pace, power and goals dominate the front three before we delve into a technically gifted trio with N’Golo Kante – who can do both sides of the game - mopping up. Seamus Coleman and Patrick Van Aanholt are not really defenders so there is plenty of work for Virgil Van Dijk and Nemanja Vidic to be getting on with, while Asmir Begovic’s gloriously solid stint in between the sticks for Stoke simply cannot be overlooked.
It is extremely tight at the bottom of the table, but a Villa win here would give them a bit of breathing space, and that is what I think will happen. Lawro's prediction: 1-2Georgia's prediction: Bournemouth are in my heart because my mum is from there and my Uncle Mike is a season-ticket holder. Crystal Palace v Sheff UtdSheffield United have only won one of their past five league games but they are still only a point off fifth place.
Jan Vertonghen "still wants to achieve great things" with Tottenham despite his reaction to being substituted against Southampton on Wednesday, says his agent. The defender, 32, looked visibly upset after being taken off less than 10 minutes into the second half of Spurs' 3-2 FA Cup fourth-round replay win. His contract expires this summer and it is rumoured an extension is unlikely. His reaction had nothing to do with his future," said his agent Tom de Mul.
In addition to that, Paderborn haven't lost any of their last seven Bundesliga home games by more than one goal. Meanwhile, Leverkusen have lost just one of their last nine Bundesliga games by more than one goal.
Ashley, who owns a controlling stake in the club, has not always been popular among fans and thousands have been staying away from matches this season to protest at his ownership. Around a third of English soccer clubs are under foreign ownership. Premier League clubs Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all under control of Americans, while Manchester City is owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group.
There's definitely a problem - there isn't enough help for players," he said. I am fortunate. I had offers to go straight into TV. But even then, I had no training or anything. All of a sudden I'm sitting there and someone gave me an earpiece and an autocue. I didn't have a clue what I was about to do. Nobody had ever put anything in my ear other than a cotton bud. I miss the day to day of football.
Espanyol have been quietly efficient in their work this season, an opening matchweek draw in the reverse fixture being the only blip for the team but their qualification is assured and the pressure is off for their trip to Budapest. They've only conceded one goal and with 10 being scored they've easily been the standout performers of Group H.
The Premier League is introducing a winter break later this season to bring England into line with Europe's other major leagues, so each team will enjoy a free weekend in February. But Potter said one week without games would not compensate for the extra strain during the festive period. The break is ok but it's not the main issue, which is that you play on Dec.
Japan, finalists at the two previous World Cups, went out in the group stage after losses to two European sides but Kumagai says progress is being made. I think the level of women's football in Asia is growing, especially since I made my debut," she said. You can see this particularly in the youth tournaments where the last four finals you always see an Asian team playing on the world stage.
Martial’s problem is that he has set such a low bar. To improve the side, all Ighalo needs to do is stay active across the front, give Fernandes somebody to aim at, and be able to bring those to his left and right into the game. He has shown himself moderately competent at all disciplines. Not brilliant, but capable.
Aves concede an average of 1.60 goals per home game and only 17% of Braga’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals, so we’re not expecting any more than two goals to be scored on Saturday. Braga have won 33% of their away games which is above the league average of 29% and, given the host’s record at home, we believe the visitors will increase their win rate on the road this weekend.
Following their five straight defeats, Luton are vulnerable heading into this clash. Charlton will be looking to extend their good scoring record away to the sides below them, having hit two goals in three of their four trips to bottom-half sides. With Luton losing half of their home matches so far – including each of their last two – we are backing a 2-1 victory for Charlton in this clash.

Even I'm not big fan of PSG, I believe that they will win very easy in this round in League 1, what is very very real option. So, it is clear that this team will again, one more time win easy title here in France, but in last few weeks, team is had some problems and they are not won easy. Still, this time, they will play against team who is pretty bad as a guest. Lill is also, like PSG playing in Champions League, but they are also bad in that competition. Home team will win easy 2-0 or 3-1.
Goztepe go to this game on 20 points and placed 10th in the Super Lig while Galatasaray are placed sixth with 24 points. Goztepe have done well in the past few matches and will be keen on extending the same here; they have three wins in their last five matches. In their last eight matches they have one loss and five wins and they will feel well psyched for this clash.
They were taken apart by Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek, which shows how much they need to improve to compete at that level. But I still think they will have enough to see off Bournemouth. The Cherries did not have luck on their side in their defeat at Burnley last weekend but it worries me that they don't seem to show much fight once they go behind. They have picked up only one point all season from games where they have conceded first, which is not a good sign - they need to be up for a scrap in the run-in.
After the hope of Michael O’Neill’s arrival, Stoke spent Christmas bottom of the Championship. Their summer ambitions of making the playoffs feel some way away now. The Potters have been left in the relegation zone following a tough run of form, while things could get even worse this weekend.

The 2020-21 Premier League season will start on 12 September and finish on 23 May. The current campaign will end on Sunday after it was suspended for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Premier League said it would "continue to consult" with the Football Association and English Football League (EFL) "regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions". The start date for teams still in Europe is under discussion.
We had the game completely under control. We just did not use our chances," Dortmund coach Lucien Favre told reporters. We had five, six big chances. It was easy to make the 2-0 and the 3-0. It is silly, just silly. We are a bit tired. Two injuries at halftime and we played too complicated. We always want to do the special thing.

The Champions League is the obvious target, and while Valverde will still be wondering what could have been after collapses at Anfield and Stadio Olimpico, Setien will know his mission is to safely navigate past Napoli in the last 16 before tackling any opposition they may face in the quarters. A difficult task awaits Setien, but you can be sure he’ll do it his way.
We can’t rely on the NHS being funded by charities or people making donations – it’s nice that such individuals and organisations are doing so, and I’m full of praise for those who are doing it – but the work they’re doing is quite incredible and needs adequate resourcing. The praise they’re getting however enormous it is, will never be enough.
Also in lockdown in Arizona, Barmby, who holds permanent residence status in the United States, has no plans to return to the UK. The USL is a good standard and every team wants to play football," he adds. If a team is 1-0 up in the EFL, most of them would shut up shop, but here it stays really open and the majority of goals are scored in the last 15-20 minutes. I know a lot of players in League One and League Two are desperate to come to the States because it is a good life here, especially in Arizona.
In terms of a correct score tip, we are continuing with the theme that goals should prove to be at a bit of a premium in this fixture. The hosts average just 0.92 goals per game at home and have failed to score in 42% of their home matches. With the visitors scoring just 1.17 goals per game on the road and having kept four cleans sheets in their last seven outings, we think that they should edge this match with a vital 1-0 win.
