Morelos - the tournament's top scorer - looked set to add to his tally as Gerrard's side found some joy from popping passes into space behind the Braga defence. Morelos broke clear, but goalkeeper Matheus stayed tall and stuck out a boot to save. The Brazilian repeated the trick soon after from an acute angle when Morelos latched on to a perfectly weighted Hagi through ball.

I don't want to see Leroy Sane leave once he returns to full fitness; we need his pace and competition for that position. Manchester UnitedBarney Chilton - Red News fanzine Where do we start with who to bring in? We need two top-quality midfielders and a striker who can fill the void left by Marcus Rashford's injury.

The home team have actually seen a lot of draws happening in normal time recently and also a lot of matches not going over 2 goals. They have played in 4 straight matches now which have not gone over 2 goals in normal time. They have not been a very good team for scoring goals but their defense has been very good they have managed to get players behind the ball well to hold the teams they play from scoring. This will probably be another defensive effort from them where they will not score but the other team will find it hard to score too

In Joelinton - the club's record £40m signing from Hoffenheim - they have a striker who has netted just once in the league and is on a run of 22 games and 1,856 minutes without a goal. The Brazilian works hard for the team but he lacks goals and also touches inside the opposition penalty area - just three of his 47 came in the 18-yard box.

These are not words of the moment. They are not words of me being the Tottenham head coach. These are words that I've told and I've repeated in the last three, four, five years even as an opponent.

Football match from the England FA Cup and we have Newcastle playing host to Oxford United met in this match I will bet on the host team to win by at least 2 goals. The team of Newcastle is in high spirits after 5 matches without a loss, although most those matches had ended in draws but I think today they will turn up to beat this league one side Oxford United. Newcastle in their last 2 home matches have scored 5 goals and conceded 1, they didn't play so well in the last round against richdale and needed another match to progress but this is different as they play at home

Frank Lampard would be one who would stay behind every day to work on his craft, shooting off his left and right foot from the edge of the box and moving into the box to work on his one-touch finishing. Drogba, Nicolas Anelka, Florent Malouda would be the same. At other clubs, Zlatan would absolutely be one who would spend extra time after the end of training.

The timescale will be challenging but I don't think it's beyond the wit of man to see a scenario where the Football League and Premier League are completed later in the summer.
