There is a reason why Frank Lampard makes so many changes, both of formation and personnel, and it is not for the fun of it. Which is not to say that Chelsea are useless, nor that they have no scope for improvement. But they are painfully short on class – the kind of class that cannot be inculcated on the training ground and it is hard to see how that changes without the lavishing of considerable sums of money.
West Ham have only won one of their last ten home league games. West Ham have gone six league matches without a win. A form guide for the last ten league games has Southampton in third, earning 14 points more than West Ham. West Ham put up a brave effort against Liverpool on Tuesday but lost 3-2. That leaves them 18th in the table, six places and ten points behind Southampton.
He reiterated that it was essential to try and conclude the current season in European countries and said he was surprised at the Belgian league's decision on Thursday to abandon its competition and declare leaders Club Brugge as champions. We discourage those decisions, if we take them now we have massive consequences," he said.

And Son's goal against the Clarets was just as good as anything on the Brazilian's showreel. In the 31st minute, the South Korean picked the ball up on the edge of his own box after a Burnley free-kick was cleared. Twelve seconds and 12 touches later he had shredded the visiting defence and slotted past Nick Pope for a goal-of-the-season shortlist certainty. Son's goal was his 10th in 20 games for Tottenham this season"I just wanted to keep going," said Son of his goal.
Roma, 1-0 winners against Gent in the first leg, briefly looked in danger of going out after Jonathan David levelled the tie on aggregate after 25 minutes but Justin Kluivert eased the Serie A side's nerves with a quick equaliser. Leverkusen blew Porto away with a 3-1 away win, after building a 2-1 lead last week, thanks to goals from Lucas Alario, Kerem Demirbay and Kai Havertz before Moussa Marega netted a consolation for the home side.
Regulations have continually been updated in a drive to stop clubs spending beyond their means and encourage owners to invest in development rather than big foreign names approaching the end of their careers. But despite those efforts, some clubs -- including Liaoning -- look destined to become casualties of Chinese football's relentless growth.
Thankfully, with this whole business rumbled, they are looking at the incident again. Imagine if they still upheld the ban, though. RETRO CORNER The 2007 League Cup final was a spicy old affair, taking place on this day 13 years ago. Theo Walcott scored his first goal for Arsenal, before a couple from Didier Drogba, inevitably, sealed the trophy, but not before John Terry was absolutely sparked by an errant Abou Diaby boot, and Emmanuel Adebayor was sent off after a late brawl.
Atalanta midfielder Andrea Rinaldi has died aged 19 after suffering a brain aneurysm on Friday while training at home during the coronavirus lockdown. Rinaldi was part of the youth system at Atalanta and had been on loan at Serie D side Legnano this season. Always available and positive, he knew how to make himself well-liked by everyone," said an Atalanta statement. Legnano described Rinaldi's death as "a sudden and shocking tragedy, impossible even to imagine".

I hope that this duel from Belarusian Premier league will in any case bring at least two goals and maybe even three, what is not so unreal. Torpedo is one of the most positive surprises so far in league and this team is so far won in few matches. They are closer to win in this duel, but we should not forget that "small" Smolevichi is sometimes playing very good. For example, against BATE Borisov, they are played 3-3 just few minutes before end of match, and finally lost 5-3 that duel. Yes, over 2,25 is pretty real for me here.
Zenit St Petersburg have signed defender Dejan Lovren from Liverpool for £10. The Croatia centre-back, 31, has joined the Russian club after playing in 10 Premier League games this season for champions Liverpool. Lovren, signed from Southampton for £20m in July 2014, also helped the Reds win the Champions League in 2019. He scored five goals in 131 league appearances for Liverpool but played just three times in 2020.
A Klagenfurt and Reid will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. A Klagenfurt this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 1L. Meanwhile Ried have 12W, 2D and 2L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Cross-border travel and attendance at games create a high risk, affecting everyone from spectators and players to match officials and club staff," said FIFPRO. To provide a reliable and clear course of action which puts people and public health first we ask authorities and competition organisers to take transparent, reasonable and consistent decisions across the football industry based on government advice.
But as sure as death and taxes, there was an Aberdeen response at Rugby Park. They settled, and McGinn showed the flash of quality they desperately needed as he drove the ball into the net after a nice delivery from McLennan. And the Kilmarnock fans would have greeted the Aberdeen equaliser with weary familiarity, as Matty Kennedy dropped the shoulder to nip round Stephen O'Donnell and whip in a fierce cross, which McLennan dived to head in just five minutes into the second half.
For Canada, Jordyn Huitema's second-half strike earned the win over Costa Rica. Canada dominated possession in a frustrating opening half but lacked inspiration in the attacking zone, managing a single shot on target. The Canadians continued to press after the break and were finally rewarded in the 72nd minute when Huitema hit the post from close range but then coolly slotted the rebound into the back of the net for her seventh of the tournament.
All of which just goes to show, you can add as much technology to the game as you want, but Juventus will still be on the right end of mystifying penalty decisions. Mirandes still alive Martin Odegaard of Real Sociedad celebrates 2-1 during the Spanish Copa del Rey match between Real Sociedad v Mirandes at the Estadio AnoetaGetty Images This year’s Copa del Rey fairy tale of choice is still very much a live one after Segunda Division Mirandes lost narrowly 2-1 away at Real Sociedad in the first leg of their semi-final.
We look forward to welcoming back all our supporters - and our colleagues - to Old Trafford as soon as possible. United, who have four top-flight home matches left this season, are the latest Premier League club to try and safeguard their casual workforce. Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are some of the other clubs that have also announced plans to keep paying casual workers despite the game being suspended.
Defender Fernandez, who saw Ritchie's attempted clearance ricochet off him into his own net, recorded the away side's only shot on target, a weak header which was easily gathered by Ederson. Man of the match - David Silva (Man City) Different class against Newcastle, set two up and scored anotherWhat next?Manchester City travel to Brighton on Saturday (kick-off 20:00 BST), while Newcastle go to Watford earlier on the same day (12:30).
Eddie Gray collects the ball in the centre circle and immediately sets his sights on Chelsea’s goal. But David Webb has other ideas. Fuelled by fresh memories of his roasting at the hands of the Leeds winger a couple of weeks prior, the defender hits him, both feet off the ground, no prisoners. Bang. It takes all of two minutes for the 1970 FA Cup final replay to live up to its billing as a game best avoided by the faint of heart.
This season has seen QPR go back and forth in their form, so their latest victory could kick off a run. It will certainly build confidence for this trip, which sees the Rs aiming to follow up on some decent away form.
Cleveland are bottom of both the Central division and the Eastern Conference. They have only 10 home wins all season and four of their last five games have ended in defeat. The Cavaliers changed their coach last month but the results still aren't going their way. San Antonio Spurs have shown a bit more consistency of late and can improve their season record with a win in this match.
He's got a lot better at throwing the needle at me now and he's accepting it faster and reversing it back. We have a deal, in the backyard generally every night we'll play putting matches and the winner gets to keep the green jacket in the closet. Occasionally it's gone into his closet. Primarily it's stayed in mine but the fact he's been able to earn it off me because there are no wins that are given in this family.
The win over Spurs was their second in six matches; earlier, Leipzig had failed to win in four straight matches. With two straight wins and three clean sheets, they will definitely have their confidence high. Leipzig have failed to score in just two of their last 15 matches and in the 15, they have scored two or more in nine matches.
It seems quite impossible at the moment that Manchester City will be able to win the title again after a couple of poor results lately and with Liverpool playing at such a good level and winning pretty much every match they played so far this season. Nevertheless, the Citizens should keep winning to put pressure on their rivals and on this match we expect a good win from them at home against Everton and for that reason, we will take Man City to cover the -1.5 Asian Handicap as the best line to bet on this contest here against Everton.
In contrast, I watched Sheffield United play Everton on Monday and I just could not see them scoring - they looked like they had hit the wall too. Mind you, they have proved me wrong plenty of times already this season, so maybe they will do it again on the final day. Lawro's prediction: 2-0James' prediction: 2-2 West Ham v Aston VillaWest Ham are totally safe after Wednesday's draw at Old Trafford, but I always felt they were a better team than their league position suggests.
Lampard said the 25-year-old's comparison was "very casual". I think in the actual case of managers, I think he got it, from my point of view, slightly wrong," said Lampard. Those opportunities have to be equal for everybody, I think we all agree on that. But within that then there are the details of how hard you worked. I certainly worked from the start of my career to try to get this opportunity, and there's a million things along the way that knock you, set you back, that you fight against.

But those two were still always our best players, so it didn't matter. We had Gareth Barry and Nigel de Jong in midfield to do all their donkey work for them. You could never accuse David of being lazy, though, and in any case he has not stopped adding different aspects to his game. He works so hard now - you don't play for Pep otherwise - and he is also so versatile in terms of his position, which is another thing that people might not have noticed about him.

The visitors are starting to show themselves on the European stage, but they’ve been among the continent’s most ambitious sides for a long time now. Atalanta have had seven players with 30+ touches in the opponent box in Serie A 2019/20: a joint-record among the current top-5 European League alongside Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. That’s already paid off, with Atalanta scoring twice in 10 of their 13 Serie A games so far.
A very interesting match between Dinamo Minsk and Torpedo Zhodino in Belarus in the weekend. Both teams are in great form at the start of this season and are at the top of the table. However, I think Dinamo Minsk has a better team and therefore my proposal will be that the home team will win this game.

Club-by-club guide to the Premier League returnBernardo Silva answers your questionsCity return to action at home to Arsenal on Wednesday (20:15 BST). It was this fixture on 11 March that became the first Premier League casualty of coronavirus. It was postponed after it became apparent some Arsenal players may have been infected around a Europa League game against Olympiakos the previous week.
LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to crank up the pressure on Chelsea in the battle for fourth place in the Premier League this weekend as they emerge from their mini mid-season break. Jose Mourinho's side travel to relegation battlers Aston Villa on Sunday on the back of consecutive league wins, knowing another one will move them one point behind their stuttering London rivals who host Manchester United on Monday.
Sandro Tonali (Brescia) WHY COULD HE MOVE His first season in Serie A only confirmed the extent of his potential. Tonali is only 19 years old but is already high class. At the foot of Serie A and almost already condemned to Serie B, Brescia probably have no chance of keeping their jewel, especially with just one year left on his contract.
Newcastle United Supporters Trust board member Greg Tomlinson told BBC Radio 5 Live: "You have to take stock on what comes next, it's very strange to be talking about the money that could be coming into the club in terms of where we find ourselves in society right now, where many clubs are in danger of going out of business. You have to look at sustained growth and sensible acquisitions - we are not going to go out and get Mauricio Pochettino are we? It has to be proper growth.
