Both Milan and Juventus are coming from losses and this being a cup game, we expect to see the two sides going all out. Milan capitulated in the second half of their loss to Inter as Juventus also fell late to Hellas Verona and the two will be hoping that doesn’t occur again. Juventus have two straight losses away from home but they remain a formidable side with a great run over Milan. The hosts Milan have not kept very many clean sheets recently, but they have a good run at home. However, we don’t feel it will be easy to down this Juventus team that has dominated them and also been good in the Coppa Italia. We expect a draw here to set the tempo for the second leg.
Little wonder, then, that the former Arsenal and Chelsea left-back is in the Match of Their Day hot seat on what would have been FA Cup final weekend. The 39-year-old won the FA Cup seven times - three with the Gunners and four with the Blues - and played in a total of eight finals. Watch the latest Match of Their Day with Ashley ColeCole has picked his first and last FA Cup wins, when Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-0 in 2002 and Chelsea triumphed 2-1 against Liverpool in 2012.
Then, with the strikers, we split them instead of playing two down the middle. When City attacked us with their full-backs, we had a counter-attack threat in both channels - Callum McManaman with his pace and trickery down the right and Arouna Kone with his pace and power down the left. Graham Barrow: "It pretty much all went to plan. City started the game really well and Carlos Tevez had a great chance early on that Joel Robles saved with his feet, but that calmed us down and it was almost like scoring a goal because it gave everyone such a lift.
Chelsea really struggled to step it up, despite Mount’s positive impact, with the visitors going close again through Redmond, before Ings replaced Obafemi with just over 20 minutes remaining. Redmond finally made his mark on 73 minutes, capping off a lovely Southampton passing move by dinking the ball over the onrushing Kepa to edge the game away from the Blues.
That issue might come back around again with the number of games to be played in such a short space of time, but it will not be a factor right now - and all United fans are watching their backs. Bournemouth v Crystal Palace (19:45 BST)This game is live on the BBC and I think it is a great example of why this first full set of games is so hard to predict. Palace are known for making life difficult for teams, but will they do that if this feels like a pre-season friendly? Also, the Eagles are basically safe in mid-table so they are not going to be scrapping for points like Bournemouth will be.
The best we can say for it is nothing unexpected really happened. The kids lost to Aston Villa’s grown-ups, as was inevitable, and everybody made lots of noises about their bravery and maturity and so on. Good for them. Quick, somebody ruffle somebody’s hair. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain of Liverpool and Celso Ortiz of Monterrey compete for the ball during the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar Semi-final match between Monterrey and Liverpool FC at Khalifa International Stadium on December 18, 2019 in Doha, Qatar.
The young midfielder was instantly involved, finding Abraham, but his shot hit the side netting. At the other end, Che Adams was denied his first Saints goal by Tomori’s excellent sliding tackle after Redmond rolled the ball across the face. The winger went in search of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg moments later, as Southampton refused to lie down.
Spaniard Emery leaves the side after 18 months in charge, with the club eighth in the Premier League standings after four wins in 13 matches. The decision has been taken due to results and performances not being at the level required," the club said in a statement https://www. We have asked Freddie Ljungberg to take responsibility for the first team as interim head coach.
Rangers' trip to Craven Cottage had got off to the ideal start, Hugill putting them ahead inside three minutes of a high-tempo opening half from the visitors which saw Rodak twice called into action while another chance came off the post. Fulham, however, gained the composure their early performance lacked and hit back through Kamara just before the half-hour mark. Thereafter the hosts looked a reinvigorated force, Cavaleiro hitting the post before the break while Anthony Knockaert tested Lumley early in the second half.
It got to the stage that I was told to tell the players they were getting their P45s,” said John O’Brien. In early February, Liam had to meet the players to tell them they were free agents. From the players’ point of view, it came as an absolute shock. Ger O’Brien, now director of football at St Patrick’s Athletic, said: “On 10 February, and I know this because it’s the day my daughter was born, we were called into a meeting and told ‘lads, we’ve just been told to wind up the club’.
Arsenal could have taken the lead in a scrappy first-half in the 33rd minute through Mesut Ozil, but he nodded his free header over the bar following a dangerous cross from Aubameyang. Five minutes later and West Ham took the lead. Pablo Fornals’ dinked cross was met by the central defender and the Italian’s header deflected past a helpless Bernd Leno.
'Correct Score' players are pointed in the direction of a 1-0 win for the visitors. Pompey have tightened up of late, keeping a clean sheet in each of their last two. They've not been prolific on the road but have enough forward quality to edge it against a side that has often misfired at home. MK Dons have failed to score in four out of six against top-half teams at home this season.
Jo Youle - the chief executive of charity Missing People, who have Roma have partnered for the campaign - said: "It is fantastic news that another one of the young people who was part of the AS Roma transfer video appeal has been found. We are really thankful to our friends at AS Roma for sharing their transfer videos on social media earlier this year and also dedicating additional social media posts to try to help find the boys and girls.
While Everton looked dangerous when they came forward, the only real scare for the home side came when substitute Moise Kean found space in their area to acrobatically fire wide. Guardiola makes changes to try to make up ground Fourteen of Manchester City's past 18 home league goals have come in the second halfThe last decade saw City record the highest number of Premier League titles (four), points (818), wins (251) and goals (845).
Stepping up from League 2 is often tough, especially for clubs that don't have deep pockets to reach into, though Tranmere supporters will still be disappointed that their side haven't made a better fist of competing at this level. Fortunately, thanks to Bolton's situation and the appalling form of Southend and MK Dons, Tranmere remain three points above the drop-zone, so it's not all bad.
They managed to scrape through the group stage with three wins out of six, but winning just one of the three at home, will sure have them concerned. In their most recent home game in the competition, Basaksehir lost 3-0 at home to Roma. They need at least a 2-0 win here to proceed but in their last four home matches in the competition, they have failed to score more than one goal.
A shot-shy game of football beckons when Crystal Palace and Newcastle lock horns. Two of the worst attacks in the Premier League will face off to see which of them is more hapless. If you wanted to combine two activities in one, having a nap while watching this match is efficient splicing. Back under 1.5 goals.

That was another lousy effort in a long back catalogue of lousy Hearts efforts. This game had the look of an annihilation in the offing. Celtic can't stop winning and can't stop scoring and Hearts' much-discussed high press looked like offering meat and drink to Celtic's ruthless attackers. It turned out to be a comfortable win for Celtic, but only after close to half an hour of solid stuff from Hearts.
Austrian top league. Team Admiral will play at home field with team Austria. Admira are in the bottom zone. They have a big chance to leave this league for next season. They did 2 draws at the last 2 games played. Austria are in the top zone. They haven't any big motivation for this season. But they are coming after victory with team Tirol. My bet is a draw in this match. This result is a good way for both teams in this game. Last year our clubs have finished their match here with score 0-0 . I recommend to check this bet !

The former Real Betis and Las Palmas coach was chosen for his devotion to the attacking ideas of Barca's spiritual Godfather Johan Cruyff, although he has never lifted a major trophy as a manager, a record he is keen to put right. I have already told the players that I am getting on and I don't have much time to lose," added Setien, the oldest coach in the Spanish top flight.
As the cross went in though VAR shows him to be just offside and it's chalked off. OFF THE POST! A high foot from Fernandes gives Chelsea a free-kick on the right of the United area. Reece James steps over it and Mount whips a shot to the near post, which the ball smacks into before rebounding out of the area.
Koln had a bad start to the season but four wins on the bounce have really lifted them. They will go to this game well psyched, but they will also meet a strong side. Dortmund’s new signing Erling Haland is going to be a key player here after his hat trick in the comeback win over Augsburg. Playing at home further strengthens Dortmund’s chances. They have been so good at home and scoring a plenty. They are unbeaten in eight and in six of the last eight in Bundesliga at home, they have scored three or more goals. They face a Koln side with one win, five losses in the last seven away Bundesliga matches. Here we are backing Dortmund for a 3-1 win.
Fernandes has made a flying start to life at Old Trafford since his £55m move in January, with his arrival coinciding with an upturn in the Red Devils' form. The 25-year-old midfielder has scored two goals and recorded three assists in his five Premier League appearances so far which earned him the Premier League player of the month award for February.
I hope this campaign can do that and make a difference to those who need support. Chelsea have already opened the hotel on their Stamford Bridge stadium site to National Health Service staff in London, while the men's squad have donated money to the Chelsea Foundation to help support those in need during the crisis.

The Premier League has featured some of the world's best players since it began in 1992. But who should be the first two inductees when it launches its Hall of Fame?With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero ineligible as they are still playing, we've put together a pretty handy list of 10 players with a strong case to be included. Some legends miss out - you may well think Paul Scholes or Eric Cantona should make the list, for example - but we've attempted to balance things like longevity, key statistics and major honours won.
With both sides focusing their might on keeping the opposition at bay and then hoping to profit at the other end, it could become a bit of a war of attrition. Despite the gap in the league, both teams will know that they are perfectly capable of the three points if they perform, but this will likely come off the back of shutting their opposition out. With this in mind, backing there to be less than 2.5 goals scored looks to be the smartest move which can be made.
Meanwhile, Udinese have seen both teams score in all of their last 10 home Coppa Italia ties. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last 15 matches in this competition, while Bologna have scored in each of their last six trips in the Coppa Italia, with their only clean sheet in that time coming against Serie B side Pisa. Given the form of both sides, we are going with BTTS here.
Kings vs. Oilers live stream: TV channel, how to watch May 2, 2022 — The Los Angeles Kings will meet the Edmonton Oilers in Game 1 of the NHL Playoffs on Monday night from Rogers Place.
We’ve got to pick one here - so let’s go for his 65-yard free-kick for Velez Sarsfield against River Plate in March 1996 after spotting the keeper off his line. If, say, Nick Pope scored it, you would wonder if he really meant it - but there is no doubt Chilavert did. He was a very colourful character and Colombia and Newcastle icon Tino Asprilla once had to persuade a hitman not to kill him. Apologies to Rogerio Ceni, who scored 131 goals for Sao Paolo but not one special enough strike to make it onto your list.
New England Revolution are the favourites due to their more cohesive attacking rhythm but we still see a bit of value in backing them with the safety net of a draw no bet stipulation in the wager. Back Gil and Bou to fire the Revolution to a positive result.

This should be a thoroughly entertaining game of football in south African league. SuperSport United are a formidable outfit and sit third in the league, but Maritzburg United are particularly tough to break down at home. A 1-1 draw is therefore the most likely result. Judas Moseamedi proved key for Maritzburg at Mbombela Stadium with a match-winning brace. Maritzburg could have scored even more goals were it not for a solid performance from Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.

Frankfurt have won-to-nil in 25% of their home games and Cologne have lost-to-nil in 38% of their away games, providing another reason to back a 2-0 win for Frankfurt on Wednesday night. Frankfurt have only failed to score in 12% of their home games while Cologne have failed to score in 38% of their away games. Exactly 2 goals have been scored in 38% of Cologne’s away games and a majority of Cologne’s defeats this season (7) have had a margin of 2 goals or more, which is why we have backed a 2-0 win for Frankfurt.
Her delivery from both feet, the confidence that she has is infectious. Certainly all of her other team-mates picked up on that. I love watching her play. O'Reilly: "What you see is what you get with Megan. She is a true performer. She understands that this game, at its core, is about entertainment. She loves being an entertainer. That's not to say she is not working hard because she is, but she comes alive in the biggest moments.
It's hard for me to cope with players who cannot express their potential, not those who are at their limit. I am with the boys.

This is relegation form. Do the club realise how tricky this will now be? "There are football people at the top of the club that need to make the decisions.

Sheffield United start 2020 just two points off fifth place in the Premier League table before a first visit to leaders Liverpool for 13 years on Thursday. If I had to name a manager of the year midway through the season then it would be Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder," BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson said. The great thing about them is they have shown every promoted team that they do not have to spend fortunes if you're well coached, well organised and difficult to beat.

Uefa's medical chief Professor Tim Meyer, meanwhile, has said it is "definitely possible" to plan for the suspended 2019-20 season to restart. Read into that what you will.

The home team have lost only once in their past 10 home matches they are a team who wins often at home and not many of their matches are draws. They look to be in better form with the away team losing some of their most recent matches in football. Also the away team have not had much success at this ground in recent times it has been a very long time since they have come here and actually won a match of football. Can see them losing this match but will take the double chance on the handicap to be safe.
