I have to say that I am surprised to see odds on the league leaders, that is the guests with a record of 16-1-3 so far this season and with 5 wins in a row in their recent away games which defeated Thistle both at home and away from home as well earlier this term to be rising on their win here in the context that Dundee Utd has no less than 5 wins in a row away from home right now this while the hosts are in danger of relegation.
It is a positive move," Guardiola said on Friday regarding the new instructions on upgrading and downgrding cards. The referee will be taking responsibility himself. I like that.

Video - 'We have nothing to lose' - Mourinho on Leipzig second leg01:47 Everything is cancelled, stay indoors Well, not exactly. But while football is a relatively minor thing when it comes to coronavirus, it really is starting to bite now. The Champions League games between PSG v Dortmund and Valencia v Atalanta will both be held behind closed doors, and it was announced on Monday that all football – all domestic sport, and basically any sort of gathering in fact – will be suspended in Italy until April 3 as the authorities try to get this thing under control.
It was Manchester United v Newcastle United and Sir Alex Ferguson v Kevin Keegan. Some of the goals that were scored, and the atmosphere, was unbelievable. It's not often you get to give Manchester United a good seeing to. It was almost the perfect performance.

The draw interrupted a five-game winning streak in all competitions for Julen Lopetegui's side and left them third in the standings after 16 games on 31 points, three behind leaders Barca and second-placed Real, who each have a game in hand.

Late start of the season in Sweden. IFK finished seventh last season, Elfsborg was in a good form at the end of the season and finished in the 8th place but had achieved a total of 5 points less than their opponents. Both teams tested negative and that is why this game is taking place, although not all games could take place. Overall, I expect a fairly balanced game and goals should also be scored on both sides. Here I think we see them play evenly matched. They are even team and it is early in the season so we think we will see 1 - 1 or 0 - 0 here today in this opening game.
A run of four matches without a win was finally put to an end midway through last month and now Sivasspor have back-to-back victories under their belt. They need to have momentum on their side to take on a Galatasaray side on an eight-game winning streak. The most high-profile Galatasaray victory in that sequence was their 3-1 triumph at Fenerbahce, one of several defeats that appears to have knocked Fener out of title contention.
The Canaries said the German, 29, had remained remained asymptomatic and subsequently tested negative twice following two further tests.

Barcelona went level on points with La Liga leaders Real Madrid after grinding out a narrow win over Getafe. Allan Nyom appeared to put third-placed Getafe ahead but his goal was ruled out by the video assistant referee for a foul on Samuel Umtiti. Antoine Griezmann clipped Barca ahead from Lionel Messi's excellent first-time pass and Sergi Roberto scored their second from Junior Firpo's cross. But Angel Rodriguez's volley set up a tense finale.
Real's lengthy unbeaten run and four away draws from nine in La Liga point towards this encounter ending all square, whilst a great deal of respect is afforded to Getafe based on their excellent recent results and performances in front of their own supporters.

In 15 visits to this ground since 1983, Derby have only won once. A 1-0 win back in 2002 whilst Wayne Rooney has never lost at this venue. Crystal Palace have conceded just nine goals in 11 games at home this season. Just two of 11 games at Selhurst Park have produced over 2.5 goals. Derby County will make the trip to Selhurst Park for a 3rd round FA Cup tie with Crystal Palace off the back of two straight victories which has seen them to 17th and now pondering a play-off push.

So what does Bruce see in the player and why does he continue to lead the line for the Magpies?A number nine who plays outside the box The Brazilian was Bruce's first signing when he replaced Rafael Benitez, and the striker was handed the famous number nine shirt previously worn by club legends Jackie Milburn, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole. But the former Hoffenheim frontman - who scored just seven Bundesliga goals last season - has failed to live up to those before him, a winner against Tottenham back in August being his only English top-flight strike so far.

We are here to win games," said Courtois in his teammate's defence. What has happened, has happened. He [Bale] gives everything in training and matches to help us win. The Bernabeu has its opinion and I am not in a position to comment on that. Aguero to miss Manchester derby Sergio Aguero will not be fit to face Manchester United at the Etihad next month after limping out of Manchester City's 2-1 win against Chelsea on Saturday.
But then out game the secret machete, in the slightly unexpected form of an absolute clanger from Lukasz Fabianski, who let Mo Salah's dribbler of a shot through his legs. West Ham probably thought that sort of thing was behind them when they quietly sent Roberto off to that farm, but it probably speaks to the sort of desperate trouble they're in that even their most reliable player is now a fully paid-up member of the clown school.
Chelsea further strengthened their position in the Premier League's top four with victory over Crystal Palace in an entertaining encounter at Selhurst Park, that included a stunning long-range strike from Wilfried Zaha and a rare goal from Christian Benteke. There was an element of fortune about the game's opening goal, with Palace defender Gary Cahill pulling up with a match-ending injury to allow Willian to charge into the box unimpeded and set up Olivier Giroud to finish.
Both sides are pushing for promotion, but a victory here puts them a step closer. Not only can the winners boost their title hopes with a win, they send the losers into a fight for the last automatic promotion place. However, will Leeds be able to claim a victory here?
Lecce have scored in 14 of their last 20 league matches. Lecce have two clean sheets in their last 20 league matches. Bologna have not won any of their last six league games at home. Bologna have no clean sheet in 30 matches in the league. Lecce have no win in their last five away league matches.

The J. League will make maximum efforts to prevent infection and prevent its spread," it said in a statement. The spread of the coronavirus has forced the cancellation of many sports events in recent weeks, including Serie A soccer matches in Italy, and raised alarm bells for Tokyo 2020 organizers.

Game for the second division of Germany and the teams of Arminia Bielefeld, leader of the tournament with 65 points, receive the Heidenheim team that is third with 55 points. So I think it is more important for Heidenheim to win today. Bielefeld is already champion and this match counts for butter for them. Heidenheim for its part has an opportunity to get into auto promotion place and for that they must do better than Hamburg which is one point ahead of them. Advantage to visitors on this match who will be more motivated. But I think both can live with one point. So I'm assuming a draw. With good defenses, their last meeting ended 0:0.
Speaking ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third-round clash against neighbours Everton, the German reiterated the need to space out matches or risk losing players to injuries. I don't think the Premier League or the FA are in any doubt about my opinion. It's not because of me. I think somebody has to speak for the players," Klopp told reporters on Friday.
These two sides have dreadful records behind them of late, with the Rs winning only twice in their last 10 matches in the league. Meanwhile, Charlton have gone a full 10 matches without a victory, a streak which has marked them out as contenders for the drop.
It is not something that concerns me much. I presume they are thinking that to protect us because, from what I have heard and read, it is the people who are older who are most at risk, but certainly I feel very healthy," said Hodgson. We live in a democracy and we are all law-abiding citizens. I will worry about that when the time comes. Pre-match handshakes between teams and officials will not take place until further notice due to fears over the spread of coronavirus - and there is a growing expectation that Premier League matches may have to played behind closed doors.
