Aston Villa is the big favourite, that’s clear, but who cares? It’s football and the ball rolls in each direction, that’s pretty cool. Some of the youngsters could even play themselves into contention for a trip to Qatar. I believe there might be a plane waiting for one or two, it might depend on how they play tomorrow.
Fernandes may have fallen out of favour at Benfica, but perhaps Mourinho’s tough love is, er, just what he needs. As for the length of the loan deal? The Warm-Up was confused, initially, but it makes a certain cynical sense. After all, there’s a decent chance that there’ll be nothing left of Mourinho by that point, bar tears and recrimination.
In a week which has seen Napoli sever ties with Carlo Ancelotti – who heads to Everton in a year which saw Gennaro Gattuso struggle to get a Premier League role. There are still plenty of concerns about this bold move from the Partenopei, especially as their poor run continues.
Heerenveen have won three of their last six matches, two of which were at home, while Heracles have lost three of their last six matches, two of which were away, and the hosts have only lost once at home this season, while Heracles have suffered three defeats on the road.

Leeds United moved back to within four points of Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion as Mateusz Klich's strike earned victory over lowly Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Klich guided a fine shot in off the far post in first-half injury time moments after Pablo Hernandez's low effort came back off the upright. Boro, who have now lost three in a row and are winless in nine league games since beating Preston North End on New Year's Day, showed decent resolve and had their moments, the best of which saw Marcus Tavernier's curled shot hit the top of the bar after the break.
He drills a flat cross to the back post, where Moura is waiting, unmarked, to nod the ball back across goal and into the far corner. BIG CHANCE! Vertonghen makes an absolute mess of controlling a crossfield pass, and coughs it up to Gestede on the edge of the area. He back-heels the ball to Fletcher, who can only hit a team shot straight at Gazzaniga from the edge of the area.

Angers have scored in all but one of their home games this campaign and with Marseille conceding in five of their last six matches we're backing the home side to convert in this game. However, we ultimately think that the visitors will keep up their good form with a 2-1 win. Both teams have scored in each of these teams' last four meetings and in four of Marseille's last five games so we're backing this market here.
Wildsmith did well to deny Kamil Grosicki from close range after a defensive slip allowed the Poland international a sight at goal, but he could do little about Pereira's strike with five minutes left. The hosts rarely troubled Albion keeper Sam Johnstone, although he was called into action in the final minute of stoppage time to punch away Jabob Murphy's fierce long-range drive. The match was the Owls' first since reports emerged that some players have not been paid in full this month, and the South Yorkshire club are also awaiting the outcome of an English Football League hearing into a misconduct charge relating to the sale of their stadium to owner Dejphon Chansiri.
Ostrava defeated Pribram here with 2-0 last season and in their last two home games against them they also won big with 3-0 both times and even before that 2-0 win here when they last played at Pribram they won the game with 2-1. But this season Pribram is clinging with bare life to get away from direct relegation as they are bottom in the league with just 3 wins all season long and all of them at home, but even here they have lost more games than they managed to win and quite low scoring side they are.
Bath and Dulwich will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Bath this season have the following results: 16W, 8D and 7L. Meanwhile Dulwich have 8W, 10D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Incheon united fc are hosting Daegu fc in the South Korean league and this is the start of the new season. The time they have met at this place the game have ended with a stalemate ,the scores were 1-1 but as to my opinion I think the visitors are great in their performance last season than the home team, they have won their last away game to Gangwon which ended with 4-2 scoreline.
We are also backing these two sides to share the spoils, with only five points between them in the table. Parma have failed to win 13 of their last 14 away trips, with 71% of their points this season coming in home clashes. Meanwhile, the hosts may have picked up the majority of their points at home, but they've won just once in their last five at this ground. That has us going for a 2-2 draw as our correct score prediction.
The priority is to survive. We have lots of difficulties," he told the BBC. I am not speaking just about Harry Kane, I am speaking about Giovani lo Celso, Erik Lamela - in this moment they could give us the balance. Today was a team completely unbalanced. Really, really hard to organise it and really, really hard to win the match.
I cannot hide it's my dream to coach Barcelona, I've said it many times in many interviews, everyone knows I support Barcelona from the bottom of my heart," he said. The former midfielder, known for his passion for a style of football based on possession famed by ex-Barca coaches Johan Cruyff and Pep Guardiola, made a record 869 appearances and scored 97 goals for his boyhood club.
The French forward side-footed home a cross from compatriot Ferland Mendy to break the deadlock in a tight game in the 56th minute after coach Zinedine Zidane had sprung a double substitution to give his team more width. Benzema's strike gave Real their first home victory over Atletico in the league since 2012 and increased their lead over Barcelona at the top of the table to six points.
Maupay's role in the incident seemed to anger Leno's team-mates, some of whom became embroiled in a shoving match with the striker at full-time. Leno joins defender Pablo Mari and midfielder Granit Xhaka on the sidelines, both of whom were injured in Wednesday's 3-0 loss at Manchester City. There is no such negativity for Brighton, though. They appeared to come through the game largely unscathed and are now five points above the bottom three.
Incredible goal once more from City. GOAL! Burnley 0-4 Manchester City. Another brilliant, brilliant goal, this time from Mahrez, makes it four. Great feet from Mahrez to work space for the shot before firing into the bottom corner. That is his 50th Premier League goal. GOAL! Burnley 1-4 Manchester City.
The Japanese Football Association (JFA) has withdrawn its 2023 Women's World Cup bid, three days before a Fifa vote to determine the hosts. The two candidates left are Colombia and a joint Australia and New Zealand bid, which the JFA will now support in Thursday's vote. Earlier this month, football's global governing body rated the Trans-Tasman bid as the best, with Japan second. JFA chairman Kozo Tashima did not rule out another bid in the future.
Gaz metan Medias sit on 5th spot right now. They have managed 27 points from 18 matches in this season. Their had some mixed results recently. But their home performance is good as they have lost only 1 of their last 9 home matches by winning 4 of them. They are coming off a defeat against Astra.
This match could well go down to the deciding doubles. Andy Murray will be back for the British side but Dan Evans hasn't been in the best of form this week. The British side has the better doubles team so if it does go down to the final game, that's another reason to back Great Britain to win the match.
Tottenham have been weakly performing and have not been up to scratch in their performance within the epl although they have won their last three encounters with a stable score line. They will host a second placed Leipzig who have been performing up to par with in the Bundesliga setting .this game is quite difficult to predict the ultimate winner neither is it easy to predict a score margin on the extreme side .I will go cautious on this match and predict that at least one score will be conceded by any of the teams will play it safe on this game .
