Quite what Uefa would do if Wolves or Rangers reached the final is anyone's guess. As it stands both sides could be due to play in next season's Europa League, while still in with a chance of winning this season's competition - and thus qualifying for the Champions League. Vested interests and no perfect solutionWhen West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady used her newspaper column on 16 March to say she believed the domestic season would be declared 'null and void' she was condemned given her club's position close to the relegation zone.
What is even more impressive is that United have hit this form without their best striker, the injured Marcus Rashford, and with their record signing Paul Pogba also sidelined. Tactically, United have proved to be an unpredictable opponent -- still strong on the counter-attack, they have shown themselves capable of more dominant possession football at times as their first half display in last week's draw at Everton proved.
Read the full story Alacer could rejoin Valencia Spanish international striker Paco Alacer could rejoin Valencia from Borussia Dortmund. However, while Valencia are in the market for a striker, they can't currently afford the 26-year-old forward, meaning they may attempt to strike a deal that sees an initial loan convert to a permanent transfer in the summer.
Alex Mann meets Dave on stage at GlastonburyFashion brands have also jumped aboard the bandwagon. London skate brand Palace produced a £150 'digital' version of Juventus's shirt, Umbro has collaborated to bring authentic sportswear credentials to labels like Pretty Green, Supreme and Patta, while a growing band of amateur designers produce extreme concept designs to social media acclaim. Are these fan-made kits better than the real thing?Once the general fashion resuscitation of the 1990s and busy online trade in vintage shirts are added in, a new golden age of football shirt design seems to be dawning.
They have then got to show character because having been beaten 7-0 we didn't want that to happen again, and they did. Second half, we got up the pitch a bit and worked their keeper a couple of times. Celtic manager Neil Lennon: "The first half was outstanding, the fluidity of the team and the chances we created, the attitude, and the overall quality of football and pace we played at was breathtaking.
Inter Zapresic have been very poor this season winning only 3 of the 27 games so far. The last 6 league games of Inter Zapresic have all ended in defeat and at home they have failed to score in the last 2 league games.

Yes, I think he (Mari) need minutes, like Rob did, like Ainsley [Maitland-Niles] and like Reiss [Nelson] as well," he told reporters. I think it was a good game for them to get their fitness levels tested as well and they trained today really well. They are all, I think, ready to play. Arteta was the club captain as Arsenal won the FA Cup in 2015 and also wore the armband in the previous year's final win and says that his side's rich history in the competition is keeping them motivated.
This match has a clear favorite and it is the home team. They have the balance of matches to date at 8-5-3 goals 35-19. On their own pitch they haven't lost their match yet and their balance is 7-1-0 goals 26-7 so I don't have to convince who is the favorite of this match here.

It's a fixture that neither club needed in an already congested schedule, both managers complaining about the archaic ways of the FA Cup. Expect extra-time to replace replays before long. At the time of writing, only one point separates the clubs in the Premier League table. Wolves (8th) are a club on the rise, one prepared to leapfrog United (6th) should their descent down the table continue.

Well, under this circumstances I have to bet on Watford here. There is only 7 rounds until the end and Soton are pretty much safe because it's not really to expect from them to lose all games until the end while Aston Villa , B'mouth or West Ham to lose all. Both teams are having some injury troubles for this one... Watford will be without G.Deulofeu (knee injury) , Janmaat ( knee injury )and Success ( Achilles Tendon ) while on the other side Southampton will be without Boufal (Thigh injury ) , Djenepo (Red Card ) , Stephens(Red Card) and Hojbjerg due to ankle injury. Both teams are in bad shape lately but I give the upper hand to Watford at this one, under all this circumstances.It's not going to be easy because whenever this two team met each other the matches are mostly very even, without any doubt that is going to be the case today, but I'm going to stick with Watford .
It has been a difficult few weeks for Cambridge United as they have seen their form plummet and have claimed just two wins from their last eight league matches. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this dip in form has seen the hosts drop down the league and despite being up there with the top contenders in the opening months of the campaign, they are now dropping into a position most expected at the start of the season.
It was a tough ask. Napoli operated on a smaller budget and were overachieving in terms of results. With players nearing the end of their contracts and looking for gratitude, there was a limit to what could be managed. Struggling to convert the many chances they created, Napoli were suffering - but when president Aurelio de Laurentiis ordered the players to attend a week-long training camp after they slipped 211 points behind Juve, he effectively broke them.
Paper Round’s view: Raiola would not have launched his verbal attack had he not been given at least tacit permission by Pogba, so we can safely assume this is a way to negotiate his client’s move away from Old Trafford in the summer. Ed Woodward might want to solve any dissent with a new contract, but there is little point keeping an underperforming and unhappy player when he could be replaced by a player who both cares and tries.
Bayern Munich have performed exactly as expected, with four wins from four and 15 goals scored in those games, an average of 3.75 per game. The 7-2 victory over Tottenham was definitely the high point, with the Germans dismantling their opponents and putting themselves in a position where they have qualified for the round of 16 with two games to spare.

That said, being seen as a suitable candidate for such a prestigious appointment certainly isn't going to do him any harm in his quest to eventually take charge at one of Europe's top clubs, something he will undoubtedly do at some time in the near future. What will Setien bring to the Barcelona table? Setien (right) had been Betis manager since 2017 and led them to sixth and 10th-place finishes in La LigaWhere Setien is a perfect fit is in his unquestioned zeal alongside coaches like Pep Guardiola and Oscar Garcia, currently at Celta Vigo, for the Johan Cruyff possession game, much loved and oft-perfected in the past by Barcelona.
England. European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli "The focus now will be to come up with solutions to conclude the 2019-20 club season in the most practical manner and, beyond that, ensure football, like society as a whole, returns as quickly as possible to its natural form and rhythm," Agnelli said in a statement.
But here come Liverpool again, Robertson dashing by a spent Wan-Bissaka and sending a low cross into the middle as Shaw falls over - of course he does - and all Salah has to do is sweep home. But he somehow miskicks, sending the ball from his left against his right, and De Gea scrambles around the post.
We are disappointed and frustrated so I understand the supporters. Emery rebuffed suggestions his tactical switches are compounding the club's problems. Last year we played well in a lot of matches with Lacazette, Aubameyang and Ozil," Emery said. When we use different systems it’s because the players are ready to do that.

This will be the fourth Copa America in six years but is slated to be the last one until 2024 as organisers move to a regular quadrennial format. Argentina have not won the tournament since 1993 while Colombia have lifted the trophy only once -- when they hosted it in 2001. Brazil are the current holders after beating Peru in July to win the tournament for the ninth time.
That was demonstrated last term when they secured a historic league double over Los Blancos and they already have a 2-0 home win against Atletico Madrid on their dance card this term. We expect Sociedad to really take the game to Madrid in this clash and that should lead to plenty of goals, as has been the case in so many recent encounters between the teams. With Sociedad scoring in all but one of their seven away games this season and Madrid netting at a rate of 2.5 goals per game at the Bernabeu, over 2.5 goals with both teams to score looks the obvious way to go.
Posted at 55' Foul by Max Aarons (Norwich City). Ligue 1 leaders Paris St-Germain drew 4-4 with Amiens in a remarkable game, coming from 3-0 down to lead before conceding a late equaliser.

Woking will host Dagenham & Redbridge for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will try to dominate in this game. Woking have advantage at home stadium. Also, Working are more ambitious team in this season. True, Working is very unpredictable team. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. On the other hand Dag & Red is also unpredictable team in recent times. The visitors lost on the previous match and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I expect, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
Those couple of defeats were away from home, whilst Killie have thrived more often when playing at Rugby Park. Angelo Alessio's side has the 3rd best home record in the league, winning 12 points from 7 games and bested by Celtic & Rangers.

See alsoReal Valladolid - Real Madrid as it happened Barcelona’s defeat to Valencia at Mestalla on Saturday presented Zinedine Zidane’s men with the chance to go clear of their title rivals, but for a long time it looked like they would spurn that opportunity, slogging through the majority of the match at the Jose Zorrilla.

Alfredo Morelos has scored in his last three games in the Europa League and could become the first-ever player to score in four consecutive games for Rangers in major European competition. Rangers have won their last six games and are unbeaten in nine since losing away to Young Boys in the Europa League. Rangers have won their last three away games and are unbeaten in five since losing in Switzerland.
Slutsk is still 3 points ahead of Ruh Brest, having been the most surprising team in the first part of this season and having even reached the top of the table few rounds ago: they have then lost the last 2 games vs 2 competitive teams like BATE and Energetyk, however they remain a very dangerous team which could take advantage of playing at home to come back to a win. Ruh has won the last away game vs Neman, but they had scored no goal in the 3 previous away matches, collecting 2 points but showing a very weak attack above all. Slutsk can win this home game.

It has led to The Times reporting that the Gunners are considering former captain and current Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta as his replacement.

Angers haven't been in the greatest vein of form recently but did manage to turn somewhat of a corner before the international break as they got a 0-0 draw away to a Reims side solid at home. It was Angers' third result in a row that could be deemed okay following their pretty awful run of games across the end of September and most of October.
