Sir Alex Ferguson's men could have made it a domestic treble but were beaten 3-1 by Aston Villa in the League Cup final. That dressing room was not for the faint hearted, full of strong personalities including Roy Keane, Peter Schmeichel, Steve Bruce, Paul Ince and Cantona. Other notable squad members: Berg, Brown, P. Neville, Butt, Blomqvist, Sheringham, Solskjaer"Champions of Europe, champions of England, winners of the FA Cup - everything their hearts desire.
Offside decisions have come under closer scrutiny in Premier League this season following the introduction of the video assistant referee. Wenger suggests offside law could 'change a little bit''VAR should not be too forensic'The time spent reaching a decision over marginal calls earlier in the season prompted Ifab general secretary Lukas Brud to reiterate that VAR systems should only be used to correct "clear and obvious errors".
However, Ludogorets haven’t lost on the road domestically this season, playing four games and winning three, while CSKA have lost two at home in the Russian Premier League and have drawn once. 75% of Ludogorets’ away games have ended in victory which is well above the league average of 29% and the other 25% have ended in draws, which is why a double chance bet on the visitors makes sense.
I believe that home team will not have too many problems in this duel from Premier league and that is pretty real to expect. So, Leicester City is interesting team who is in this moment in fantastic form. They are winning in almost all matches so far, and only, as I remember they are lost in last few weeks against Liverpool 1-2. Everton, on the other side is in problems and team is lost even against Norwich City at home 0-2. I believe that home team is in this moment much better team and they will show that here, surely.

That was a lovely team goal. Stegen makes a brilliant save! Napoli should have gone back in front. Busquets played a loose pass that was intercepted by Zielinski and pushed forward to Milik on the edge of the area. He slid it to the right to put Callejon through on goal, and his shot was superbly blocked by the outrushing ter Stegen.

I worry about West Ham after seeing them against Wolves. I don't know where their goals are coming from - although it is tough to judge any team too much from that first set of games. There were quite a few teams who did not offer much going forward, and they should all be better from having 90 minutes in their legs. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Aitch's prediction: 3-2WEDNESDAY Man Utd v Sheff Utd (18:00 BST)Sheffield United are another side who have not made much attacking impact since the Premier League restarted.

The home team have seen 2 lower scoring matches in their past 3 matches. There has been a single goal scored in two of these matches and at times have showed they can be very hard to score against and even hard for them to score. This is a home match for them and can see this being another lower scoring match where both teams will find it hard to score. Sometimes the home team have not been seeing many shots on target in their matches and this could be the same for the away team with some good defense.

But going into this break I certainly felt we were moving in the right direction and with continued progress and work on the training ground, as well as potentially bringing in some players in key areas to try and help us bridge that gap, yes, I've got a strong belief that we can [challenge].

It was always a dream for me. The day I made a decision to leave this football club I said to the people that I am going outside, I am going to learn, get prepared and hopefully one day I can come back here when I feel I am ready. I have been preparing for a few years for this challenge to come. I know the expectations, level and stature of this club and what it deserves. I am ready for that challenge.
Another match between two even teams. Both teams are around here in quality. Radnicki are maybe in better shape and momentum but Radnik is one of those teams that is very different when plays as a host rather than as a visitor. Also whenever this two teams are playing the matches between them are very tough and very even and one goal can decide the winner, so I expect same scenario today. Last match between this two finished 0-0 just one month ago in a friendly so this game is not important so I expect same approach from both of the teams and at this one.
Van Dijk: I have seen them all - Ruud Krol, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini. Virgil van Dijk. The centre-back is in that class and has thrilled us with his performances for Liverpool for two seasons now. They seem to be getting even better. In fact commentators can't wait for Van Dijk to make the occasional mistake so they have a talking point. Van Dijk has come a long way since his days at Southampton but fulfilled all the enormous promise he showed when he was at St Mary's.
Son made it three with a wonder strike in the 32nd minute, picking up the ball deep in his own half before embarking on a searing run through the heart of the Burnley rearguard, and this time he made no mistake as he confidently stroked the ball home.

Late goals from Danny Ings and James Ward-Prowse helped Southampton come from behind to beat fellow strugglers Watford and ease the pressure on Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1Samuel's prediction: I started doing some research into these games and I realised the more work I do, the further away from the actual scoreline I am going to get.

Sassuolo went ahead through 19-year-old Hamed Junior Traore in the 29th minute and should have added to their tally as eighth-placed Napoli gave a ragged first-half display and were jeered off by their fans.

Allan equalised in the 57th minute and, after a spell of sustained pressure, Obiang turned the ball into his own goal following a corner in the fifth minute of added time to give Napoli their first league win since October 19.
Middlesbrough have one of the worst home records in the league, winning just twice at the Riverside this season.

Premier League can go it aloneFirst of all, the good news. Although Premier League officials are heavily involved in discussions with Uefa, European leagues and clubs about how the game deals with the coronavirus crisis, there is no obligation on them to take the same course as any other league. So, if Italy or Spain, two of the countries hardest hit at present, abandoned Serie A or La Liga, the Premier League would not have to follow suit.
However, his Post-Shot Expected Goals figure is 34. So Guaita has a differential of +8. Premier League. Only Dubravka, who was another worthy consideration for this piece, had a better figure (+8. The fact that there are such convoluted steps to statistically measure goalkeepers is another great example of how goalkeepers are so often overlooked by fans and pundits alike.
Sane has not featured for City since suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage in the Community Shield win over Liverpool in August. I don't want to put targets on him," he said.

City face Aston Villa in the League Cup final on Sunday as they look to win the trophy for a third consecutive season.

If we can get 10,000 then that’s the budget close to being sorted," he said. Bass believes there is talent on the island capable of playing in the professional game.
