HEROES AND ZEROS Hero: 'Laura Bananas' We realise that nobody needs extra encouragement to waste time on the internet, but some absolute genius has invented a thing that turns any tweet you want into a Guardian opinion headline. As you can see, we have used it wisely. Go forth, and enjoy yourselves. Zero: A Scottish FA appeals panel member You may have missed this absolutely bananas story from Scotland over the weekend, but allow us to fill you in.
Considering Los Che are unbeaten at Mestalla in the league this season with four wins and four draws posted from eight, it's clear that they are struggling to put their best foot forward on their travels.
More likely is that we pay Boca Juniors to cut short Alexis Mac Allister's season-long loan now that he has been given a work permit, but pitching a 21-year-old who has never played in Europe into a relegation battle would be a big risk. Before the end of 2019, Alireza Jahanbakhsh would have been first out the door but two goals in two games have earned him a reprieve. Leon Balogun, Gaetan Bong and Ezequiel Schelotto have all become surplus to requirements under Potter.

Sunderland's lack of wins, especially at home, isn't overly encouraging, but if we look at their overall home efforts, it's easy to support a low-scoring win for The Black Cats. Despite not always going crazy in terms of goals, by scoring an average of 1.64 goals at Stadium of Light, Sunderland have simply attacked better at home than Lincoln have on the road. The Imps average just 0.77 goals for away from home. The hosts have also done a better job of out-shooting teams. Their shot supremacy at home is +3.54, while Lincoln's is -3.23. Add in the fact that neither have made a habit of being involved in high-scoring games, what with less than four goals being scored in 82% of Sunderland's home games and in 92% of Lincoln's home games, and backing Sunderland to edge it becomes a viable option.
When I got measured for my kit, I thought 'wow, this is it now'. Already, I've met some of the most incredible people. I have to say thank you to Chris Barrett, Jimmy Nugent and Lauren Woodward. They've invested so much time in me and I feel like I'll never stop learning on this job. Williams has also been determined to keep learning during her season without a club, spending time working at a school for children with special educational needs - Oakfield Pupil Referral Unit - in Formby, prior to her first day with the fire service on 4 May.
The reason that the Premier League is so keen to get back to action is that millions of pounds in broadcast revenue hinge on the league completing its fixtures by the end of July. Another benefit would be the chance to broadcast all 92 of the remaining matches on television, with several games played every day over the summer.
Posted at 57' Foul by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Southampton). Posted at 57' Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) wins a free kick in the defensive half. The 19-year-old, making his 22nd appearance since a 27. Juventus, celebrated wildly in front of the Goodison Park faithful when firing home after 30 minutes.
Jablonec have a good 7-2-3 record at home so far in the league and in the last home games they have looked strong. Including the friendlies they have a 5-0-1 record in the last 6 home games scoring 18 goals and conceding only 5.
Exeter City, on the other hand, are much better placed in the league and have won eight of their 18 matches so far this season. However, most of that success has come on home soil and on the road they are much worse, having failed to win any of their last five away league matches. It gets worse too as they have conceded in each of their last seven away league matches and appear to be struggling to keep the opposition at bay at the moment.
To underline their attacking prowess, United have scored five times or more on four occasions in their past 16 games. They only did that three times in the first 367 matches after Sir Alex Ferguson retired. How can you not be excited about him?" asked former England striker Ian Wright on BBC Match of the Day after Greenwood's double. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the 18-year-old might be the best finisher he has ever seen.
Where does he feel he has been most effective?Every move I made was up in terms of the quality of the club I went to. I had one of my best individual seasons at Aston Villa, when I played in the middle, and that got me into the England squad. I then played on the wing all the time for England and I went to Man City and played on the wing. I have always found it strange that I probably had my best season when I played in the middle but after that I was still moved out wide.
Despite starting without the injured Fabinho - Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took his place - the home side dominated for most of the match. Virgil van Dijk grabbed both first-half goals. Both from Trent Alexander-Arnold set pieces, the Dutchman headed past Mat Ryan with authority. In the second half, Brighton and Liverpool defended stoutly for the opening half an hour, with only Oxlade-Chamberlain going close, and Jurgen Klopp’s men looked happy to conserve energy ahead of a busy period of fixtures.
The away team will not win this match they have won only 1 of their past 10 away matches against all teams. They are also not scoring enough goals as a team to be able to win this match and have not showed enough good football in away matches either to do this. The home team have beat them a few times, the home team have won nearly all their recent home matches against this away team. The handicap looks safe as the away team have not beat them here for a while and if they somehow draw it will not be a loss.
I think sometimes you need that, especially as a young lad because you need to find that consistency in your game. France had been released by Sheffield Wednesday at 16 and had started to doubt if he could make a career in football. He was 20, and busy earning a degree at Nottingham Trent University, when Wilder arrived. His new manager played behind him at right-back and provided plenty of support.

While that game had ended in demoralising defeat for Manchester City, this one would have a very different outcome. Guardiola continued to urge his players forward, despite the danger posed by Vardy on the break, and they were soon level. Riyad Mahrez, who was being half-heartedly booed by fans of his former club, cut in from the right and fired in a low shot that cannoned off Caglar Soyuncu and left Kasper Schmeichel helpless.
Leicester's sole strike this time around made Southampton the 25th side to concede 10 goals against a single opponent in a Premier League season, but just the third side to oversee a positive 10-goal swing in the scoreline. Manchester United, previous sole owners of the biggest win in Premier League history, bounced back from a 3-2 defeat against Ipswich to win the reverse fixture 9-0 in 1994-95, while Chelsea lost 3-1 to Wigan before clinching the title with an 8-0 win in 2009-10.
English Premier League. Team AFC Bournemouth will play at home with team Watford. Both clubs are in the bottom of the table. Team Watford have improved their form, winning three and drawing two in their last five league and Cup matches. Team Bournemouth have lost three and drawn once in their last 4 matches. They have failed to score goals in three of those games. Guests now have a good shape. They won with Man Utd in this season. It is opportunity today for them to take gold points. I recommend to try this bet for good odds with me .

I in any case see in this match from Ukraine at least two goals and with a little luck and more than that, but we will see what will happen. So, Lviv is this season team who is fighting for survival in league and we will see how much they can do in this duel, against better rival. 3-2 and 1-0, home team is won in last two matches in league and they are in good form, but in the same time, I still believe in guests and they are just better team. I see here, as I said, at least two goals.
Well the value in this game lies on over 3.5 goals and other above over lines as the guests played both opening games in the league away from home and despite scoring no less than 5 goals total they ended up with 0 points losing once with 4-3 and once with 4-2 both games on the road. But very high scoring games indeed one with 6 goals scored and the second one even with 7 goals being scored in it and the fact that they have conceded 4 goals twice suggests they have serious defensive problems but are not that bad at scoring till far.
The Wanderers have continued scoring at a similar rate, averaging 1.25 goals per game in their first four games and 1 goal a game in their most recent four but their problems lie at the other end of the pitch where they have conceded 2.25 goals per game in the last four weeks, compared to just 0.5 goals per game in the opening four weeks.

Midfield - Christian Pulisic (Chelsea), Naby Keita (Liverpool), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Raheem Sterling (Man City) Pulisic: Chelsea's visit to Anfield was a crazy game for all sorts of reasons. The Blues were looking for a point to seal a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, Liverpool had very different ideas on a night when they were looking forward to being presented with the Premier League title.
The hosts go to this game placed 13th with 30 points, three better than 15th placed Mainz. Both sides head to this clash on the back of heavy losses. Union Berlin fell 4-0 to Hertha berlin as Mainz were routed 5-0 by Leipzig. Both will be hoping to collect maximum points here as they are closer to the drop than safety.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the hosts the lead in the 13th minute but Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno's howler handed Jorginho an equaliser on a plate after 83 minutes. Four minutes later, Tammy Abraham settled a bad-tempered London derby when he turned in the box and drilled through the hapless Leno's legs.
Espanyol are currently bottom of La Liga, but the Portuguese boss still expects a difficult test for his team. The table doesn't mean anything, it's a different competition and we're going to face a very tough opponent with quality players," he added. Abelardo [Fernandez] is a good manager. I know him, I've faced him before and it's going to be very tough for us. Espanyol is a very good team. There are differences in the competitions, but I'm not a 100% follower of La Liga now.
Right now, it feels like there is not a really good solution. The AFCON, traditionally held every two years in January and February, was moved to July for the 2019 edition in Egypt to avoid clashing with the European season, but this prompted complaints about the heat. Former Cameroon international Geremi Njitap, who won over 100 caps and is now the head of his country's players' union Synafoc, said some players might quit their national sides rather than miss club games.
Away side is still one of the top squad in the Poland, and despite are in the lower part of the playoff teams, they could easy go up in just a few round. They should not be an underdog here, because team won three of four league games against Gornik, and two of those were here in Zabrze.
Kaizer Chiefs will be home against Highlanders in South African Premier league. The host are leaders in this league with 35 points from 15 games, and they are the best attacking team in the league with 30 goals against 13, also proved to be one of the best defensive team in the league. They have won 11 games in all, 2 draws and 2 lost games.
Smolevichi returned to the Premier League The composition of the team remained at about 60%. We got players from the FNL and the First League of Belarus. The only signing that I liked was the rent of the goalkeeper of the Soligors Shakhtar - Filtsov, who would have sat on the bench at Shakhtar’s bench, and for Smolevichy he’s the top one. Yes, and in the first round against Brest Dynamo looked good. Smolevichi in the first round created a sensation - having drawn with the Brest Dynamo on the road 1: 1. To be honest in that game I did not see a cool game in the person of the Smolevichs. I saw how terribly Brest played. And Smolevichi scored a goal in the same way with a lot of luck. Isloch beat Neman Grodno in the first round. Wolves, in principle, were also lucky with the development of events in the match. The Neman looked much more interesting in that game than Isloch, but the removal of Marusic broke the course of the meeting. The Neman sat on the defensive and missed a beautiful Cole from the top scorer of Isloch - Momo Yansane. By the way, this year, Isloch played a friendly game with the Smolevichs. Smolevichi won 0-3. Perhaps that's why the beeches put such a kef on Isloch. The most interesting thing in that friendly game was the backup team of the Wolves) That's something like that. We put on Isloch And I also think that in this game there will be a minimum of goals. Match score 0: 1.
Three of the last four league meetings between the pair have seen both teams score and Maritimo have only failed to score in two of their last six matches in league and cup while Vitoria Guimaraes’ failure to score against Benfica was their first blank in eight games. The hosts have drawn three of their last six competitive games and have played out stalemates in half of their home games in the league this season, while Guimaraes have drawn four of their seven away games in the Primeira Liga.
New Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny says his desire to have "clearly defined" backroom team roles left him unable to accommodate the county's record goalscorer Robbie Keane. Keane remains under contract to the Football Association of Ireland after Mick McCarthy's departure but has now been left without an obvious role. Keith Andrews is assistant boss after working with Kenny in the under-21s.
Derek McInnes' side were booed off after passing up the chance to narrow the gap to two points, sitting four adrift after the Premiership stalemate. Jon Obika hit a post for the hosts, while the visitors looked blunt in attack throughout. St Mirren do move a point further away from second-bottom Hamilton, now two clear of the relegation play-off spot. Aberdeen had named new signing Matty Kennedy in the starting line-up, but in three games in 2020 they have yet to score from open play.
In the immediate aftermath of Unai Emery's dismissal by Arsenal, Nuno was installed as one of the favourites to take over. In the end, no approach came. But if one did, the reaction would be fascinating as Fosun view change as an opportunity for an upgrade. Even though they clearly got it wrong in their appointments of Walter Zenga and Paul Lambert, they would back themselves to bring in the right man to continue the momentum.
How does Kane's goalscoring record compare?Only Manchester City's Sergio Aguero - and only just, with 138 - scored more goals in his first 200 Premier League appearances for a single club than Kane has done for Tottenham (137). In fact, Kane has been scoring at a better rate than Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who scored 131 in his first 200 league games for the Gunners. Kane also became just the 11th outfield player to reach 200 Premier League appearances for Spurs.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have a hood run going to this game; they have lost just once in the last 12. With six wins in the last 10, they will feel well capable of taking on Bournemouth. On the other hand, Bournemouth have a good run at home in recent times and have been scoring consistently too. Wolves have struggled away from home but we feel they will have just enough to take on Bournemouth. A scoring draw is our pick here.
With the Toffees' handy habit of notching consolations and Liverpool's continued troubles at the back a factor, we think there is value in coupling a home win with a both teams to score selection for Wednesday's derby, while our correct score prediction settles on a 2-1 Liverpool win.

That made it pretty tense but the top 10 was pretty settled - there were always just two or three teams who were in and out. Andy Gray's 20th goal of the season for Dundee United on the final day not only denied Pettigrew the top scorer crown outright, but it also helped ensure Kilmarnock would be one of those consigned to the second tier. Draws killed us - we had 15 of them," recalls Gordon Smith, who would leave for Rangers a couple of years later.
Fayzkand did made some under level performances in the recent time, but this team still has a good range of quality players for this country. They should be right behind main favorites in the competition, and games like this at the home ground, should not be a issue for the victory.
In the 11 days since Marco Silva left the club, the Everton board has been working to recruit a new permanent manager – and has held meetings with a number of candidates,” the club said in a statement on Monday night. We can confirm that thus far no contract offer has been made and no candidate has chosen to withdraw from the process.
