City have slipped to fourth in the table and a 3-1 defeat by leaders Liverpool two weeks ago left Guardiola's team nine points off the top. Why should people think I'm not happy here? Because we lost at Anfield or I've lost three games this season? That's an odd reason to say I'm not happy or satisfied to be here," he told reporters.
Southend are second bottom, with the worst points return in the division. They’re being propped up by Bolton’s troubles, but the visitors are still heading towards relegation. The away side have fallen 11 points shy of safety even in a season which sees only three sides facing the drop from League One. Can they turn around their campaign in this trip?
Pogba has played only eight times this season after having surgery in the autumn to correct an ankle problem. The 26-year-old's comeback was then delayed by illness, meaning he did not resume training until mid-December. The former Juventus midfielder made substitute appearances against Watford and Newcastle before being rested for Saturday's win at Burnley. Solskjaer said last month that Pogba would not be sold in January.
Tondela concede an average of 0/83 goals per away game which is below the league average of 1.44 and have scored first in four of their five home games, so if the hosts score first on Saturday you would expect them to go on and win the game.

I've had quieter breakfasts, if I'm honest. The milk hadn't even touch the Weetabix (other breakfast cereals are available, but they're not as good) when Tottenham announced that they had completed a deal to bring in Jose Mourinho less than 12 hours after announcing the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino.
But what else are fans looking out for over the next 14 days? Here are five things to watch.

Any hopes of Stevenage enjoying a promising campaign, much as they did last season, are now long gone and have been for some time. Tuesday's hosts are in a desperate position. They're bottom of the table, are six points from safety and haven't won any of their last ten matches. They have at least drawn seven of those ten, which indicates that they're getting tougher to beat, though they desperately need to regain the winning thread if they're to avoid being caught too far behind.
Three years after leaving England, and about to face Tottenham again after helping Bayern book a place in the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare, Gnabry is described as "fantastically important" to his country, "phenomenal" by opponents and an "extraordinary player" by one of his former bosses. Missed potential in the Premier LeagueView more on twitterArsenal were so convinced by Gnabry's talent they agreed to pay Stuttgart £100,000 so he could join their academy once he turned 16.
North End, however, were not content to settle for a point and leading scorer Daniel Johnson's 20-yard strike forced a fine fingertip save from Baggies keeper Sam Johnstone after the break. But as stoppage time approached, Edwards latched on to a hopeful ball over the top and went down in the area despite Rudd seeming to do his best to pull out of the challenge. Austin coolly stroked home the penalty - his third goal in as many games - to condemn Preston to a third-straight defeat after losses at Derby and Hull.
Benfica have won six of their seven home games this season and Famalicao have lost twice on the road, with the hosts averaging 2.57 points per home game and the visitors averaging 1.57 points per away game. Benfica score an average of 2.57 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.29 goals while Famalicao score an average of 1.57 goals per away game and concede an average of 1.57 goals, but the current form of both teams and their recent results suggests that a 3-1 home win is the most likely result on Saturday.
Former Everton midfielder Li was appointed as successor to Marcello Lippi on Friday, six weeks after the Italian quit the role following a defeat to Syria in qualifying for Qatar 2022. That defeat left China's chances of progressing to their first World Cup finals in 20 years in jeopardy. In the process of recruiting, the first and most important thing is that we want to find people who want to play soccer for our nation, who have the spirit of selfless dedication, who want to sacrifice everything for the national team," said Li at his official unveiling on Sunday.
Odds are quite decent for taking the straight over 2.5 goals bet in this one as Hamburger SV is quite open type of team on the road where despite being just 3-8-3 so far this season they have scored no less than 23 goals but on the bad side they have also conceded 21 times, so 44 goals scored in their 14 away games an average of a bit of over 3 goals scored per game played and after the restart they played away from home at Greuther Furth and drew that game with 2-2 in the end so even over 3.5 goals scored.
At the time, it was the biggest away support that an English club had taken abroad - but the total crowd in the vast 90,000-capacity Prater Stadium was a disappointing one. With Poland behind the Iron Curtain, only a handful of Gornik fans were given visas allowing them to attend, and some horrific weather deterred all but the most hardy neutrals. The thing that everyone who was there will remember from it was the horrendous conditions that the match was played in," added Davies.
When it comes to Liverpool this season, there's no team in the EPL that does not get chills when they know they are about to face them not even Man City. They are out to break as many records as they can and despite a twenty two commanding lead on the table I think they will still be as ruthless as they would have been if they have just a one point lead. So now what would you expect from a rested Liverpool which is fresh and has just lost two points in all games this season and a squad that has replacements with shift of style in all areas. I see Norwich being torn to pieces here despite them being able to get back one at least.
Today we will be having a game from Chile and the home team Huachipato will be meeting with the away team Audax and this game we have given it that this two team will score an over of 2.5 total goals as looking at their last meetings they are very used of scoring over of 2.5 total goals the home team also is a very good scoring team and in this game we can say that they will continue with this trend and so that said I wish everyone good luck on this game and bet responsibly on this game
Ronaldo is yet to score a free-kick in Juventus colours. According to Opta of the 40 free-kick attempts he has had in Turin 25 have hit the wall, eleven were saved by the goalkeeper, one hit the bar and three went off target. Ronaldo and free-kicks: 54 goals in 18 years Yet, until recently, Ronaldo had a reputation – a well-deserved one – of being a relentless sniper when it came to placing his free-kicks.
In the four seasons we've had that we've managed to stay in the Premier League. Howe told reporters. It's just we've managed to keep our heads above the line in all of those seasons. So in other people's eyes. The reality is it's always been tight and we've just managed to get a big result when we needed it.
The England international revealed he is in "healthy competition" with his Scottish team-mate over who can be involved in the most goals. It is just bragging rights at the end of the season," said Alexander-Arnold. We are competitive within ourselves, we have a competition and it pushes ourselves. As a pair we want to change the way the position is thought about. There was the famous saying 'no-one wants to be a full-back or a Gary Neville', but we want to change that and that is what we have been doing for the last 18 months.
Real Esteli youth is hosting Juve Managua youth and there are huge differences in available odds and real odds, meaning there is great value on this fake underdog. It's a fact Esteli has been performing better on a head to head basis but the number in general show they are very balanced teams. Last 3 matches between those two ended 2 wind for Esteli and 1 win for Juve, only one of them ended up with a 2 goals advantage for Esteli though. So I'm going for a AH 1.25 2 at 1.90 as I believe there will be no more than 1 goal difference in case Esteli wins.

Notts County are on a promotion place at the moment and have been in good form with only 2 defeats in the last 17 matches. At home Notts County have lost only 2 games in the league this season and in the last 5 games in the league they have conceded a total of only 2 goals.
The soccer championship in Germany, Bavaria takes Augsburg and here I put on a head start plus 3 on, in my opinion Bavaria cannot always defeat everyone on the right and on the left and Augsburg they beat more than three goals only once out of 10, which means that the opponent doesn’t disclosed and does not give much space for freedom of action of the Bavarians. Plus, the absence of Lewandowski should nevertheless have an effect since he was not replaceable in the penalty area, and guests will definitely sit on the defensive and it would be more difficult to match such ranks without such an attacker. In general, I think Augsburg should withstand at least a return
Large protests have been held in London, Bristol, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Glasgow and Edinburgh following the death of American George Floyd. Floyd, 46, died while being arrested on 25 May in Minneapolis. The four officers involved have since been charged over the death, which sparked days of protest in the US and demonstrations across the world. Speaking to the BBC's Newsnight programme, Sterling said: "Just like the pandemic, we want to find a solution to stop it.
And it was one game a season later which could well have had a bearing on Setien’s appointment this week. The man who masterminded Betis’ win at Barcelona Barcelona were outplayed on their own turf when Setien’s Betis visited the Nou Camp in November 2018. Betis ran out 4-3 winners, recording eight shots on target to Barcelona’s five, pressing high, playing out from the back, and ultimately proving clinical on the counter.
Alanyaspor may have demolished Adana in the cup with 7-1 away from home last week, but in the league they have many 1-0 losses recently in their away games reason why they lost the first place in the league not doing all that well in their recent league games, and the hosts only reason why odds are so big on them is because they are newly promoted but they really have a lot of quality foreign players on their side.
Nurnberg will play in front of their fans against Hannover 96, there is no huge difference in a quality between those two clubs, they are collected same number of points after 24 rounds, and has almost the same goal difference, also they are both relegated last year from Germany Bundes league. Both sides are in dangerous zone, just five points above relegation line. Nurnberg has won in last round at away, against direct rivals for relegation, FC Karlsruher, so atmosphere in the club is a little better than it was before. Hannover also has won in last rounds, at home against Holstein Kiel, 3-1. Neither side in this duel will play risky, and I guess that both coaches will be satisfied with a draw.
Rangers have played one game fewer but now find themselves further behind than at any other stage this season. Hearts carved out some good chances themselves, but Fraser Forster denied Jamie Walker on multiple occasions to maintain his clean sheet, and substitute Marcel Langer was shown a late red card. Daniel Stendel's side remain one point behind Hamilton Academical at the foot of the table, and host the Lanarkshire club on Saturday.
Last weekend Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a yellow card, awarded by referee Paul Tierney for a foul on Max Meyer, changed to red by officials in the VAR hub at Stockley Park in west London. Tierney may well have made the same decision if he had viewed the pitchside monitor and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the on-pitch officials should be given more authority to make calls.
Arsenal have completed the signing of Pablo Mari on loan from Brazilian side Flamengo to bolster manager Mikel Arteta's defensive options. Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City (1630) *Tottenham have lost two of their six home league matches under manager Jose Mourinho. Spurs midfielder Dele Alli has contributed six goals and three assists in 16 games under Mourinho in all competitions.
Then there was a lot of going back and forth between Fiorentina and City's doctor, Dr Max Sala. All the time the clock is ticking, the paperwork still needs to be sorted and right the way through I thought the move was not going to happen. In the end, we made it. Just. Fiorentina accepted I had problems with my knee but they were willing to go through with the transfer because it was a loan, and it was not as if they were giving me a five-year deal.
The hosts should take a lot of confidence from their Boxing Day win, while a glance at Wigan’s away form should give them a boost too. The visitors should be bigger outsiders here with Forest back to their best. On top of that, the visitors have a terrible record at the City Ground, as Nottingham Forest have won their last three home league matches against Wigan.
Eriksen is the symbol of how Spurs need renewal or let the top clubs move too far ahead of them. There is no such problem for Klopp and Liverpool. The statistics can be rattled off as testimony to the foundations of the Anfield empire Klopp has rebuilt, an empire that would be even more firmly established if the formalities of this title are duly completed. Liverpool's Champions League triumph was Jurgen Klopp's first trophy since the 2012 German double with Borussia DortmundSome things can still be speculated upon, though.

Let's continue with matches from Dutch second league and this is next duel where I will bet on goals, what is for me very real, but we will see what will happen. So, Jong PSV is similar like Ajax, very talented team who is last time beat this rival just 2-0, and in the same time in last round, they are lost even 1-4. They are in this moment under pressure and they just need to win. NAC Breda, on the other side is team who is lost against Jong Ajax in previous round at home 1-2. Over is fine option here.
Joe Lolley helped lift Nottingham Forest to within five points of the automatic promotion places after scoring twice as they came from behind to beat Luton Town. A fine low finish from Hatters forward Harry Cornick, who met Dan Potts' cross, gave the Championship's bottom side a deserved lead after they had piled early pressure on the high-flying hosts. Simon Sluga's failure to deal with a tame shot from Lolley, which squeezed in at the near post, allowed Forest back into the game, although the Croatian goalkeeper did atone when he saved well from a Joe Worrall header to ensure it remained all square at the break.
The lively Moussa Djenepo poked in a cross from the left flank with the outside of his right foot and Long bundled it in at near post with his thigh past Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Reina denied Southampton a bigger lead as he kept out efforts by Danny Ings and Djenepo in the first half before he parried a ferocious Pierre Hojbjerg volley on the hour mark.
This escalation in strength at the top of the league is shown in the numbers below. There is remarkable consistency in the combined win percentage of teams finishing in the top four from the 1960s through to the 1990s but the 2000s saw a big relative increase to almost 51%, while the 2010s saw another huge leap to over 55%, even as the make-up of the top four became more varied. Essentially, fans of the English league's leading sides (whoever they were, or are) are considerably more likely to see their team win now than their parents or grandparents did in the post-war years.
Chelsea had looked the slicker and sharper of the two teams -- and indeed enjoyed the rare status of having more possession at the Etihad - but it was Guardiola's side who went in with the advantage at the break. Riyad Mahrez cut in from the left and, with Chelsea's defence backing off, he drove a left-foot shot into the far bottom corner to make it 2-1.

England captain Harry Kane says the Premier League season should be scrapped if it cannot be completed by the end of June. All elite football in England is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic. I know the Premier League will do everything it can to finish the season," said Tottenham striker Kane. There needs to be a point where enough is enough. Probably the limit for me is the end of June.
I will be taking the asian handicap -1 on the hosts in this one although I would even jump on the -1.5 AH on the hosts because the guests despite winning last round with 3-0 at home against Juventus Managua are far from great on the road, I mean their last away game was a pure disaster playing away from home at an average Ferretti side and despite the score being just 2-0 against them by half-time in the second half they conceded 5 more goals to lose big with 7-0 in the end.
They made the worst possible start, however, as Bournemouth capitalised on the Reds' early nerves to take a shock lead - albeit in controversial fashion. Wilson finished off a neat move involving Lerma and Philip Billing, but Liverpool felt the goal should have been disallowed for the striker's push on Gomez. The video assistant referee saw no infringement and the goal was given. Things could have got worse for the home side when Nathan Ake's powerful header was unconvincingly shovelled on to the top of the crossbar by stand-in goalkeeper Adrian, but Liverpool continued to create chances and deservedly restored parity through Salah's low finish - his 70th league goal for the club.
