PSG are top of the table and have a 13-point lead over nearest rivals Marseille at the time of writing. Nantes, meanwhile, are in eighth place only two points away from a European spot. Bossed by former Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff, Nantes are reeling from a dramatic defeat at Rennes on Friday night.
But is the gig for him on current form? And who could replace him? Dean Henderson - on loan from Manchester United with Sheffield United. It may not actually be that wild a suggestion. He's let in just 20 goals in 23 Premier League appearances this season and his club manager, Chris Wilder, certainly backs him. On BBC Radio 5 Live, Wilder said: "If there is a better goalkeeper in the world at the moment I have not seen one.
On that occasion Leicester were still bottom in March but won seven and drew one of their last nine games to escape the drop, only for Pearson, who took them up in 2013-14, to be sacked a few weeks later and replaced with Claudio Ranieri who took the Foxes to the title in the following season. The speed of the Watford revival has been more spectacular as they had won only one of their first 17 league games and appeared to be hurtling towards relegation.
Groningen have failed to score in two of their last three games and Emmen have failed to score in three of their last six games, and we have backed the pair to play out a goalless draw this weekend. Groningen are the favourites to win the game but have a midweek KNVB Beker tie against Utrecht to negotiate before they can fully concentrate of Sunday’s clash with Emmen and this is why we believe the visitors can take home a point from their trip to Groningen.
On this occasion it was Blackburn team-mates David Batty and Graeme Le Saux that came to blows. The incident in question was in Rovers' Champions League game against Spartak Moscow and was the culmination of weeks of simmering tensions between several team-mates, as the unity that had helped them win the Premier League title just a few months earlier appeared to be dissolving. The moment that led to this on-pitch scuffle was, according to Le Saux's autobiography, when he nutmegged Batty during training.

The match opened up a little after that, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen making one decent save and one superb one in the space of a few minutes. At the other end, an otherwise subdued Lionel Messi was denied a classic solo goal by a vital tackle from Kostas Manolas. Arturo Vidal was sent off with a few minutes remaining, having received two yellow cards in the same incident.
United have not won a Premier League title since 2013 -- when former manager Alex Ferguson retired -- despite spending nearly one billion pounds ($1. I can't change the ownership of United, no one can," Neville said. I'm struggling to understand why the ownership have persisted in trusting that management team to oversee the building of a Premier League title-winning team since Sir Alex left.

this is not going to be easy game from Stuttgart to get the win, yes they are big favorites versus right now worst team in the league but Dresden won two matches in a row and now they have hope to avoid relegation with 6 points away from safe zone and in every home game they will be extremely motivated and since Stuttgart defense is not that good I think it is very realistic dinamo will score a goal and of course on the other side Stuttgart should do the same so I think this bet is very very safe and sound
UEFA's decision was widely expected, not least because of pressure from Europe's powerful domestic leagues wrestling with the nightmare scenario of incomplete competitions. The move will help all domestic competitions, currently on hold due to the COVID-19 emergency, to be completed," UEFA said. FLAGSHIP TOURNAMENT Playoff matches were due to be held on March 26 and 31 to decide the full lineup of nations for Europe's once every four-year flagship tournament -- second only to FIFA's World Cup in terms of prestige in soccer.
I am not actually that shocked that Mainz won a few days ago with 2-0 away at Dortmund as in fact last winter break they also played a friendly game against them and also won the game with 2-0, plus they have been far more prolific in their away games compared to home games since the league restarted and even won with ease 2-0 away at tough Eintracht Frankfurt, but at home they have lost all their games 5-0 to Leipzig their worst game so far plus 1-0 defeats to both Hoffenheim and Augsburg.
His salary at the moment can be as high as £200,000 a week, but that depends on both the player and Arsenal hitting all their targets, something that will not happen as the club sit well outside the Champions League places. Paper Round’s view: Now may not be the worst time to move Aubameyang on. Of course he is the club’s best striker, and probably the best player in the team, but at 30 he is close to or past his peak.
Despite recent reports of unhappiness at Juventus amongst the squad, the Daily Mail quotes Ronaldo as saying: 'I'm in the best club in Italy, I'm playing alongside the best players. I'm happy we won trophies last year - and this year I hope to win as well. As an individual I am happy. I went to Juventus to score goals and do my best and I am very happy.
We have to ask if it works to play football without spectators. If the people do not come to watch the games there is no sense, I wouldn't like to play in the Champions League, Premier League, cups, without people. The Spaniard said City would follow instructions from the authorities. We are here for the people.
Manchester United and police are looking into the abuse midfielder Jesse Lingard received as he boarded the team coach after Thursday's 3-0 FA Cup win at Derby County's Pride Park. In a video shared on social media, people can be heard shouting obscenities, including a racial slur. One also shouts "zero goals and zero assists" at the England midfielder, 27. United are furious and feel the behaviour was unacceptable and should be condemned in the strongest terms.
Nathan Ake is expected to rejoin Chelsea for £40 million from Bournemouth, but Ruben Dias of Benfica and Pau Torres are two young central defenders who may arrive at the Etihad. Paper Round’s view: Aymeric Laporte is soon due back, but regardless of this season it is clear that City went into the campaign without enough central defenders.
Tanta had some mixed results in their previous match. Mostly they have faced lower teams and managed 2 draws, 1 loss and 1 win in this season. Their only defeat came in their home ground. They are not in good shape right now and they will need to improve their performance.
But he was the man who made the key contribution in the end, netting the winner completely out of nowhere at the death. MAN OF THE MATCH – Adama Traore (Wolves) It is only fair that Traore gets his share of credit too. Not only did he score a superb equaliser, worthy of winning any game, but he was a constant thorn in Spurs’ side.
River took the lead through Rafael Borre after 14 minutes and looked to be cruising to their fifth Libertadores triumph. However, Barbosa, the striker on loan from Inter Milan, tapped in from close range with a minute left and then rifled home from 15 metres to secure victory in astonishing fashion. The result gave Flamengo only their second Libertadores triumph and means they will represent the South American confederation in the Club World Cup in Qatar in December.
They're a brilliant team," said Sutton on 606 in February. They are really good and they haven't lost confidence, they're playing with belief, they're bottom of the table. How many times have we seen Premier League teams do that? Norwich are the best ever team at the bottom of the table because of the courage and the way they play football and the belief. All is certainly not lost for Norwich this season - should it resume.
The initial free kick was half-cleared but McGinn clipped in a cross that was met by a prodigious leap and emphatic header from a towering Cosgrove. That did little to stymie Celtic's incessant pressure and they felt they should have had a penalty for James Wilson's last-ditch tackle on Edouard, but referee Euan Anderson was unmoved. Waves and waves of Celtic attacks continued to yield nothing though, with Lewis dealing with shots - mainly from distance - from James Forrest, Callum McGregor, Mikey Johnston and Christie.
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers had signed a contract extension committing him to the club until 2025. The former Liverpool manager, 46, dismissed speculation earlier this week linking him with the vacant Arsenal job following Unai Emery's sacking. Rodgers had signed a deal until 2022 when he joined the Foxes from Celtic in February. Leicester have won 17 of their 26 Premier League matches under him and are second in the table.
The two sides are separated by 13 points; Norwich at the bottom with 21 and Southampton 14th with 34 points. This game means everything to Norwich, who are six points out of the safety zone and battling to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, they know they have to win. As for Southampton, safety is almost assured, after recovering from a poor start in the season.
Given the recent efforts of this pair, 'Both Teams to Score' appeals. For all Bolton have started to struggle again, they do have a good recent scoring record at home. The Trotters have found the net in each of their last seven at home. At the other end, they've failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four at Macron Stadium, as well as in all but one of their last nine overall. Both teams have scored in six of their last seven at home. Much of the same can be said for Portsmouth, who've scored and conceded in each of their last three on the road. They've also found the net in each of their last 12 games overall.

We've had a lot of discussions on that. I wanted to play, I was feeling well but the club were afraid, and in the end I'm the one suffering. Coach Thomas Tuchel, who is likely to come under fire for not bringing on strikers Edison Cavani or Mauro Icardi in the final stages despite trailing, said Neymar "lacked rhythm and competitive action".

This season has been up and down but I feel like we have turned a corner. Things looked grim for Southampton when they lost at home to West Ham United on Dec.

The thrashing continued from the start of the second half, Cuthbert making it 4-0 in the 52nd minute.
They look to get back into winning ways when hosting 14th placed Burnley who beat Leicester City at home on Sunday. United rwon't be happy at losing at Anfield but defeats for Leicester City and Chelsea made it not too bad a weekend.

The UK government has defended its decision to allow such events to go ahead before restrictions on mass gatherings were enforced 10 days later. But Steve Rotheram told BBC Sport an independent inquiry was needed into a potential connection with a surge of cases in Liverpool since. If people have contracted coronavirus as a direct result of a sporting event that we believe shouldn't have taken place, well that is scandalous," he said.

Shakhtyor Soligorsk have recovered from a poor run of results with 2 wins in the last 2 games scoring 6 goals. Still they are still only on the 12th place in the league. However, the gap between them and the top 3 is still only 4 points.
We can say that they are having a solid season so far, as they have managed to get 26 points from 15 games. Also, their goal-ratio is a decent one with 20 goals scored and 22 conceded on the other side. Dominik Furman scored 3 goals and made 3 assists, so he represents a real threat on that side of the field. This is going to be a tough game, as Gornik Z. knows to explode sometimes, so every win must be an earned one.
Good luck! Mason Mount: dunce of the week Chelsea are in lockdown. After Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for COVID-19 last week, they have closed off part of their training ground and have instructed players and staff to self-isolate.

No two sides from the same nation can be drawn together, so the Reds will also avoid Tottenham and Chelsea, as well as Napoli, who finished second in Group E. That means they could face Atalanta or Lyon, although Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are also potential opponents. We'll wait for the draw and see who we get in the last 16," added Robertson. We know it'll be tough regardless but we look forward to the challenge as we want to go far in this tournament again.
Going into a game I don't play to make the full-back position 'sexy'. I just think a lot of people underestimate how important the full-back position is. It's vital in the sense you've got to be up and down the pitch, creating things but also defending. I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I'm playing 'sexy' football or not. How are you so good at crossing? Practice really.
