I love to be in this position," said Guardiola, who is contracted with City until the end of the 2020-21 season. If they (the club's hierarchy) decide the results are getting worse then they are going to take a decision, that’s normal. Ahead of Saturday's match against Chelsea, Guardiola said the deficit means his players have no room for further slip-ups.
Starting with Real Madrid's game against Eibar on Friday, matches will be played in empty stadiums. Two derbies - Valencia-Levante and Sevilla-Real Betis - are among the matches fans won't be able to attend this weekend. The news comes hot on the heels of Barcelona confirming that their Champions League game with Napoli next week will be closed to spectators.
Oss and Excelsior will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie in Holland. Oss this season have the following results: 4W, 3D and 11L. Meanwhile Excelsior have 9W, 4D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
In terms of regretting having passion to defend my team, no. I could have handled it maybe slightly differently, to keep that language in. I need to be clear about this: some of the reporting said that I was upset with the celebrating of the Liverpool team. Far from it, I think Liverpool should celebrate as much as they want with the season they've had. They can celebrate like they did after the game, after every goal they scored, and they will celebrate one more time with their fans when they can.
However, the likes of Kazuyuki Toda, at Tottenham, and Ryo Miyaichi, for Arsenal, Bolton and Wigan, made less of an impact with just a smattering of top-flight appearances between them. Liverpool fans will be hoping Minamino can become the third Japanese player to lift the Premier League trophy later this year. And if that does happen then that Liverpool pub in Tokyo may need to open another branch to accommodate all the club's new fans in Japan.

No clean sheet for City as Brady fires home a consolation for the hosts. Out of nothing, really. The ball broke fortunately for Brady, who rifled home in space. Three minutes of added time here. KEY STATS Each of Gabriel Jesus' last 11 goals in all competitions for Manchester City have been scored away from home, a run stretching back to April.

The big positive for Arsenal is that they have done comparatively well at home, and head to this game unbeaten in the last seven home league matches, five of which have yielded wins. However, in their 17 home league matches this season, Arsenal have managed just five clean sheets – not the best defensive form to take to such a match.
Giroud may get new Chelsea deal Olivier Giroud could extend his stay at Chelsea, after having almost left the club in January. The striker was out of favour under Frank Lampard and looked to be heading for the exit door, but could not secure a move. He is out of contract in the summer and Football London report that preliminary discussions have taken place regarding a new deal.
City were straining under the pressure and Matt Doherty completed the comeback with a low drive in the last minute to move Wolves up to fifth. The away side's misery was complete when Sterling hit the bar with an injury-time free kick to leave them in third spot, 14 points adrift of Liverpool having played a game more.
IFK Varnamo Women are playing very convincingly, reflected in the last 3 wins, respectively against Orebro Women (2-0), Liking Women (4-0) and Norrkoping Women (2-1). At home, IFK Varnamo Women also had 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches, scoring 11 goals in total, conceding once.
Speaking of sides who are rebuilding following demotion into the bottom tier of the Football League, Scunthorpe United have not quite had the first half of the season that their hosts enjoyed. The visitors found wins hard to come by for much of the early stages of the season and their fans would have been forgiven for fearing the worst as the club were looking like they were staring down the barrel of a second successive relegation.
Leicester returned to winning ways against West Ham at King Power Stadium but lost the league's top scorer Jamie Vardy to injury in the first half. Harvey Barnes scored the opener, poking in from a yard out, before turning provider for Ricardo Pereira on the stroke of half-time. West Ham captain Mark Noble made it 2-1 from the spot before Leicester's Ayoze Perez did the same.
Werder Bremen has the worst defense in the league together with Mainz conceding 44 goals already in 19 games. But away from home they also have had no problems scoring goals scoring in 9 of the 10 Bundesliga matches so far this season.
Fulham thoroughly outplayed Cardiff City and scored two brilliant first-leg goals to take total control of their Championship play-off semi-final. An evenly contested first half saw the hosts twice go close to taking the lead before Fulham captain Tom Cairney clipped the post with a curling long-range effort. Josh Onomah then produced a moment of magic early in the second half, dancing his way past three statuesque Cardiff defenders before firing into the bottom corner.

That being said, he is a player who I look at as someone who has all the tools he needs to get to the next level. And he is only 22, so he has got plenty of improvement left in him. I just hope he is back at 100% soon. How will club and country cope without him? Tammy Abraham scored his first senior international goal in England's 7-0 win over Montenegro last November. He has won four caps in total since his debut against Germany in November 2017.
One big development since that Watford defeat is the revival of Jamie Vardy. Under Rodgers’ watch, the Foxes frontman has become the leading striker in the Premier League. Under his current boss, Vardy has scored 22 league goals. That’s six more than any other player has managed in that time. He’s also topping the scoring charts for the current season, hitting 10 goals in his last eight matches to take control of the golden boot race.
Chelsea will host Manchester United three days later. TALKING POINT A Champions League spot looks good for the Foxes, but Chelsea look set for a tense battle. Leicester may have stumbled in recent weeks, but a 15-point gap to fifth (albeit having played a game more than Man United, Spurs and Wolves) means they are red-hot favourites to claim a Champions League berth for next season.

Liverpool and guanare met first leg and it produced a nin nil encounter they meet again but now Liverpool is now handicapped by the fact that it's now playing on an away venue where guanare have an advantage. This game can go either way because of the previous score line but it is important to add to the fact that at least a goal is expected to be conjured from this game without fail. Either of the teams will be seeking for a goal as a goal will help secure a progression to the next round of the cup competition
Manchester United listed from Watford on the road in last round and with that defeat they are now on eight postio on the table and also it is very obvious that they are struggling a lot to win versus teams which are not in top 6 and I think tomorrow they cannot beat Newcastle united. Visitors on the other hand with Steve Bruce on the bench are in great shape with 3 wins on last 4 games and I think they are right now in much better mood then united so I expect at least are draw for Newcastle united

This time, however, they are not just chiselling out results, they are playing with a flair that Ranieri's side often lacked. Against Everton, who ended Leicester's run of four league clean sheets when Richarlison headed them in front, they have to graft. Rodgers's decision to unleash striker Kelechi Iheanacho from the bench proved a masterstroke though.
LASK and Sturm Graz will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. LASK this season have the following results: 17W, 4D and 5L. Meanwhile Sturm Graz have 10W, 5D and 11L.

It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens. It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.
Josh Murphy's two goals against Reading took his season's tally to fourHe seemed a different player here, buzzing with intent as he ran at Reading's defenders and trying his luck with a long-range effort in the opening exchanges. It was no surprise to see Murphy put Cardiff ahead, intercepting a careless pass from Reading's Charlie Adam and firing a left-footed shot into the bottom corner. The hosts could have doubled their advantage a minute later but, after good work from Gavin Whyte, Danny Ward curled his effort over the bar.
Bolstered by the arrivals of Nicolas Pepe, David Luiz and Kieran Tierney, plus Dani Ceballos on loan from Real Madrid, the new season promised much. It has delivered little. Arsenal are winless in seven matches, their worst run since 1992, and sit eighth in the Premier League table – eight points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea.
Much like Stanley, Burton have improved of late, winning each of their last two matches, scoring a pleasing seven goals in the process. After a stuttering few months, Nigel Clough will be hoping that his side can maintain such attacking consistency. If they can, then there's no reason as to why they cannot become play-off contenders.
The venue will remain the same as Coventry are currently tenants of St. Andrew's. It was clear to see which team the ground belonged to in the opening exchanges of that goalless stalemate. Championship side Birmingham created more openings than their League One counterparts, with Lukas Jutkiewicz getting the best opportunities.

Spurs are one of six Premier League clubs still searching for their first away clean sheet of the season – and fixing their problems at the back is certain to be Mourinho's priority between now and Christmas.

The visitors have some pretty poor results behind them at their own ground, having lost 12 of 24 matches overall. However, they have still taken 80% of their points at home, which shows how poor their results on the road have been. The Latics have the league’s worst away points haul, while the visitors have scored just nine times on the road, conceding 21.
In his late lapse, Engels allowed the ball to run under his studs, enabling Son to score the decisive goal. Engels' first goal for the Midlands club will have provided little consolation. Villa had enjoyed a bright start as Grealish imposed himself on the game. The Villa captain, who is the last survivor from the club's top-flight relegation in 2016, delivered a wonderful display, which is unlikely to have gone unnoticed by the clubs that are reportedly keen to sign him this summer.
Brighton extend Potter contract Brighton & Hove Albion have extended manager Graham Potter's contract by two years, which will see him stay at the club until 2025, the Premier League side said on Tuesday. Potter, who arrived from Swansea City and replaced Chris Hughton at Brighton in the close season, has reinvigorated the club that barely survived relegation last season.
So to follow that up was amazing. At that point, playing like that with Lubo coming in, we felt we were going to win the league. He was just standing there eating a burger'While Rangers would bounce back to claim not only the title but complete the domestic treble, the 5-1 derby win was just the start for Moravcik, who would go on to become a Celtic idol. But immediately after his Old Firm starring role, he was able to drift off into the Glasgow night a relative unknown.

MANCHESTER, England, March 18 (Reuters) - England's Football League, representing the three divisions below the Premier League, said it is aiming to complete the current season and has put in place a 50 million pound ($57. The primary objective, in order to protect competition integrity, is to deliver a successful conclusion to the 2019/20 season, subject to the over-riding priority around health and well-being," the EFL, which represents 72 clubs, said on Wednesday.
It made everyone feel 10ft tall. It was a masterstroke by Roberto - it was brilliant timing to bring in the psychologist when he did. More than anything, he got the players thinking, and it probably brought them together at exactly the right time. Who is Michael Finnigan? He had helped golfer Darren Clarke win The Open in 2011 and was working with Everton boss David Moyes when Wigan beat them 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Torpedo BeIAZ will against Ruh Brest in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the win for Torpedo BelAZ with margin score is 1 goal. Torpedo BelAZ have better result on last 5 match in league due to Torpedo BelAZ have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Ruh Brest have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Ruh Brest only have won in 2 match, 1 match is draw and 2 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Torpedo BeIAZ can beat Rush Brest due to Torpedo BelAZ always won on last 2 match in the home.
In the first round, the teams played in different ways. “Slonim” gave one of the most boring meetings of the weekend and on the road played a goalless draw with “Wave” from Pinsk. Of course, “Slonim” acted on defense and played to keep the score, but in the attack this team hasn’t succeeded yet, and this is an alarming sign for them.
Reading finished fifth in the Women's Super League last season and are sixth this season. They are achieving much better results when playing on home soil and have won the last two. They host Manchester United who are fourth but have played the majority of their games at home. Their away form is poor with one win and three defeats. Go for a double chance bet on Reading to win or draw this game.
He had scored just one direct free-kick goal in his previous 305 appearances. Silva is the third oldest player in Premier League history to reach 10 assists in a single campaign (34 years 189 days), after Dennis Bergkamp and Paolo Di Canio. What next? City head for WembleyCity, who have already successfully defended the Carabao Cup this season, are looking to keep the FA Cup in their trophy cabinet too, and the holders play Arsenal in the semi-finals at an empty Wembley on Saturday at 19:45 BST.
