However tensions in the Middle East have put paid to that, with Solskjaer saying: “We were looking at the Middle East, but that is definitely not going to happen. If there’s one thing that worries me, it’s not on the football pitch – there are other things that will worry me more than football. Paper Round’s view: Given Qatar’s miserable human rights record, this is not a country that United should be patronising in any way, however much money is offered by sponsors.
With the Premier League at a standstill, footballers are facing pressure to accept wage cuts. The players union, however, questioned the league's call for a 30% player wage reduction, saying it would reduce tax revenue for Britain's National Health Service. Good morning Hope you're well! Stay here for all the latest updates on how coronavirus is impacting the world of sport.
Celta de Vigo will host Osasuna for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Celta have fallen into a very poor show in this season. Celta is team of the relegation zone. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, they are in poor shape. Also, Celta have weak attack. In any case, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Osasuna who's is very average team in this season. The visitors have a poor results in the last matches. However, they have a more effective attack. I think, Osasuna have a chance to win.
Montpellier have been in great form recently and showed a lot of their quality in their last match as they hosted the champions PSG. They held the lead over the Parisians up until the 74th minute but a flurry of goals from the capital club saw the three points go to PSG. Nevertheless, Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian should be proud of his team as they almost snatched an incredible result against the current Ligue 1 leaders.
Six of Lazio's last eight wins have come after drawing at half-time. Lazio have won five of their last six matches against Sampdoria. Lazio have won their last three Serie A matches by a one-goal margin. The Serie A weekend kicks off with Lazio hosting Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday.
Leicester City boss Rodgers is winless in all 15 of his meetings with Chelsea as a manager (drawn eight, lost seven), the most times he has faced a single opponent without winning in his managerial career. This was the first time that Leicester had conceded a goal in this season's FA Cup, making them the last of the 123 sides to participate in the competition proper in 2019-20 to concede a goal. Chelsea have won five consecutive matches across all competitions, their best such winning run since they won seven in succession between September and October 2019.
Under 2.5 goals have been produced in three of the last six meetings between these two clubs, both teams scored in four of the pairs’ last five encounters, and of the last ten meetings between these two clubs the away side have won just twice, so you can see why we’re backing a 1-1 draw between the pair on Friday.
Last year was the best of the six I've had here and I was annoyed with how I was treated. I was very surprised and I didn't understand it. The results have not been the best and I haven't played much, that is why I felt hurt," he said. I had a very strange first half of the season, it was very uncomfortable and surprising for me.

That remains the case. The scenario that sees ninth place qualify for Europe. And, it may be a side issue at present, but there is a reason for all Premier League clubs down to Crystal Palace to take notice. For, if City are banned from Europe next season, there is a scenario where the ninth-placed team gets a Europa League spot. With no City involvement, the remaining clubs in the top five would qualify for the Champions League.
The Barcelona forward beat Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk to the prestigious award, meaning he moves one ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who finished third. It was a first Ballon d’Or since 2015 for Messi, who scored 54 goals for club and country in the 2018-19 season as Barcelona defending their La Liga title.
This time last year, I wanted to kill myself. I don't want to kill myself any more. I don't have those thoughts. I'm telling you this because I hope it helps someone. In 2003, Merson received help from the Sporting Chance clinic, set up by former Arsenal and England team-mate Tony Adams, after saying he was unable to stop betting and had run up huge losses, including £30,000 on the outcome of one football match.
Prior to their unsuccessful visit to La Ceramica, Getafe won three La Liga matches on the spin without conceding against Levante (4-0), Eibar (0-1) and Valladolid (2-0), and they have amassed 13 points from their last five outings at Coliseum Alfonso Perez, keeping four clean sheets and netting 11 goals in total.
Southampton produced the biggest surprise of the day as they gained sweet revenge for a 9-0 home drubbing by Leicester in October, Danny Ings scoring a late winner. Everton shrugged off last week's FA Cup defeat by Liverpool as their improved league form continued with a 1-0 home win against Brighton & Hove Albion to move level on points with 10th-placed Arsenal who drew 1-1 at Crystal Palace.
Speaking at the time, Spurs manager Jose Mourinho said a fan had insulted Dier after the game. What happened and how did the FA come to its ruling?Dier jumped over the pitchside barriers into the stand at the end of the game. He made a beeline for a fan and clambered over seats until he reached the top row of seats in front of the hospitality boxes. Another video shows him being restrained by fans and security, while shouting "he's my brother".
That sparked a personal goal glut that carried France to the trophy, Edouard's shyness melting away as he went on to be named player of tournament and finish as top scorer with eight goals in six games, including a hat-trick in the 4-1 rout of Germany in the final. Edouard was lavished with plaudits, but he steadfastly stressed the group effort, saying: "It's a massive pleasure to be a European champion.
Without this game, we would also lose that indelible image of Keegan slumped over the advertising boards while Anfield erupts around him following Stan Collymore's winner - a testimony to the emotional impact of sport. Even more of a loss to the folklore of English football would be Keegan's infamous rant after the 1-0 win at Leeds, when he pointed down the camera and declared in the general direction of Manchester United boss Ferguson: "We're still fighting for this title, and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and.

He will definitely miss Tottenham's FA Cup third-round clash at Middlesbrough on Sunday. We don't know yet, but I think later today we will have news," Mourinho told a new conference on Friday. But if you ask me for my feeling, good news or bad news, I am more on the bad news than the good news, that's my feeling.
They look to get another home win when hosting 16th placed Middlesbrough. Fulham haven't been the most consistent of sides this season but when they are in form, it's hard for any side to beat them. That was reflected when beating Leeds United 2-1 at home recently and knocking Premier League side Aston Villa out of the FA Cup.
United are now 10 games unbeaten in all competitions and have kept clean sheets in eight of those games as they have risen up the table to be in position for a real push for Champions League qualification. The back-line looks solid, the midfield has been transformed by the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January and the often-frustrating Anthony Martial is becoming a real threat in attack.
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to 16 points with a game in hand as they battled to a hard-fought win at Tottenham. Jurgen Klopp's men became the first team in Europe's top-five leagues to win 20 of their first 21 games as they fought off a second-half fightback from Spurs to win courtesy of Roberto Firmino's first-half goal. The Brazil forward turned Spurs' teenage debutant Japhet Tanganga then beat Paulo Gazzaniga with a sweet left-foot strike to give the visitors a deserved lead.
I took an acrylic course last year in the local village, so I'm trying to use acrylics and can't say I've cracked it at all. Kim is the one who is very, very good. She is the artist. We've always tried to find things to share because she is my best friend as well. Right now I'm tinkering with the portrait and it's at a very delicate stage - and, oh my word, what she's done is tell me to change the background! And you know what? I think it's worked.
United’s head of global scouting Marcel Bout was said to be in Austria for the clash, which ultimately saw Haaland fail to score for the first time in a Champions League group game this season. The Norwegian has scored 28 times this season, including eight goals in Europe, but he was unable to help his side reach the last 16 as Liverpool and Napoli advanced.
Middlesbrough manager Jonathan Woodgate told BBC Tees:"If Patrick Roberts stays on the pitch we win the game because he's going to be a great player for us. But I've got no complaints for Paddy McNair, he struck his penalty well and the keeper made a great save. At the end, the rules are if someone has got a head injury you have to stop play - so I'm running at the linesman saying 'you've got to stop play'.
football match in Spain for the second division, Cadiz play at home against Alcorcon. In this match, I bet it will end in a draw. I think it's a good choice. Alcorcon are 11th with 44 points from 33 games. This is a game between a very good home team and a very good team on the road. Previous head to head match resulted in a 3 - 0 win to Alcorcon. I think we will see a draw here. everything is very tight and they only won 50% of their total games. Alcorcon is definitely not to be underestimated, they have only lost two games more than Cadiz so far.
But twice Champions League winner Mourinho acted decisively, sacrificing Dier's defensive shield, and sent on Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen who, just as on Saturday in Mourinho's debut win over West Ham United, had been left on the bench. It took a while for the tactical switch to work but Dele Alli levelled on the stroke of halftime and the second half saw Tottenham run riot with Harry Kane scoring twice either side of a thumping effort by Serge Aurier.
Zivkovic joins Chris Wilder's squad on loan from Chinese club Changchun Yatai but the Blades have an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season. People will recognise we do sometimes go left field with our signings, but we've worked very hard on this one, because we have had to," Wilder said.
Under Unai Emery, Arsenal drew 1-1 with rivals Manchester United in September. They covered a total distance of 108. Granit Xhaka (pictured left) was the team's hardest worker, running 10. However, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal recorded a 2-0 win against United in January and covered more distance in total as a team and more sprints. Attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil was the hardest worker, running 11.
Real Betis will against Mallorca in match Spain Primera Liga. Real Betis have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Real Betis only have won in 1 match, 2 match is draw and 2 match is lose. Meanwhile, Mallorca have also not good result on last 5 match in league due to Mallorca only have won in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction this match could be won for Real Betis due to they have better rank and also better result in every home match. Meanwhile, Mallorca have lose on 4 match and 1 match is draw. Surely Real Betis have more chance to win on this match.

Left back Taylor, 26, sustained the injury before halftime in Burnley's 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace on Saturday. The initial reaction is it's not a serious one," Dyche told a news conference. We got him off as quick as we could so hopefully that's prevented too much damage. I'll wait and see what the physio tells me.
GOAL! Everton 3-1 Crystal Palace (Calvert-Lewin): That will seal it! Richarlison wriggles free of his marker to head Digne's corner onto the post and Calvert-Lewin reacts quickest to bundle it home for his 13th goal of the season. KEY STATS Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 11 Premier League goals this season is the most by an English player in a single season for Everton since Andrew Johnson in 2006-07 (also 11).
Leipzig are also the Bundesliga's top scorers away from home, having scored 19 goals in seven away games. Leipzig have scored over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Bundesliga games. We feel that there is a strong chance that they will score over 2.5 goals again this Saturday.
That increased to 334 the following season, and there was a further 43% increase in racist abuse alone during 2018-19. Racism will never stop," says Gibbs-White. I think because racism is talked about a lot more, this is what racist people thrive off. They step out of line and try to create a scene or make a statement. Despite that, the 19-year-old is hopeful about the future. He adds: "With more awareness, the more it should die down.

Paper Round's view: It's going to be very tough for Brewster to break into the Liverpool team at the moment. Origi has proved how valuable he can be in the biggest matches, but even he can barely claim a starting spot ahead of Roberto Firmino. Moving to a Championship club in January would allow the youngster to prove to the Reds what he can do when he gets the opportunities and is allowed to put some form together.
Picking and choosing when you can work? It's all right if you can get it. Neil Warnock - Leeds United Warnock won 23 of his 63 games in charge of LeedsEveryone gets ill from time to time, and managers are no different. In January 2013, Warnock was feeling a little bit under the weather and had to leave his assistant Mick Jones in charge for Leeds' FA Cup third-round game against Birmingham City at Elland Road.
