That stopped the Eagles' slide towards the relegation battle, and now Brighton badly need the same to give themselves a bit of breathing space at the bottom. I think the Seagulls will do it too - as a derby game, this one is always lively but they have a good record against Palace in the top flight and I have a feeling that will continue. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: These teams are in a similar category - not quite in the relegation zone, but not far above it.
I know these two teams played a lot of crazy high scoring games together for example last season here the hosts won 5-2 while at Dordrecht the game ended 3-3 as well, while earlier this season when they played at Dordrecht the game ended 5-2 once more for Jong Ajax, but the hosts in this one are not really feeling it up-front at this moment with their last 3 home games ending with under 2.5 goals even despite not facing top opponents.
BARCELONA, March 5 (Reuters) - Barcelona would like an easy fix after last week's defeat to Real Madrid knocked them off the top of the table, but Saturday's La Liga fixture against a soaring Real Sociedad could be the last thing they need. The Basque side are on a remarkable run of six straight victories in all competitions and visit the Camp Nou fresh from qualifying for the Copa del Rey final for the first time in 32 years after overcoming Mirandes on Wednesday.
Shandong Luneng will be taking on Tianjin Teda in this round of the China Super League this afternoon and I believe that we are going to have over 3.5 goals in this game because they are both good offensively and have shaky defenses. They both are not in a competition for top 3 and being safe for next season, they should be able to play very offensively here and just focus on offensive football. The hosts have managed to score an average of 2.2 goals in their last 5 games in the league and should be able to score at least 2 goals here
Home form needs a lot of repair work though with just one league win in 13 games. Each of their last seven home league fixtures has been lost, even bottom-of-the-table Paderborn beat them. Their last five home games have been lost by an aggregate score of 16-1 with just that single goal in their last six home league fixtures.
England head coach Phil Neville gave an honest and occasionally brutal assessment of his side as a lacklustre SheBelieves Cup campaign closed with a disappointing loss to Spain. The 1-0 defeat in Dallas meant the Lionesses finished the competition, which they won last year, with just one win in three games and only one goal scored. So, after suffering a seventh loss in 11 games and criticism increasing since reaching the World Cup semi-finals last summer, where do Neville and his side go from here? 'I've got to start earning my coin' - Neville accepts questions over his futureEngland slip to seventh loss in 11 gamesUS team 'don't buy' apology from US Soccer president - RapinoeDefiant Neville backed by FANeville was visibly frustrated in post-match interviews but was refreshingly honest when addressing questions about his team's performances and his own future.
Don't sack Mourinho," the crowd chorused mockingly during that 2018 humiliation, so revenge in North London would be sweet. Spurs have been shockingly leaky, and some are expecting a classic demonstration of Mourinho's bus-parking expertise in defence and a few tactical tricks. The way Spurs used to play under Mauricio Pochettino, you would have expected them to come out and have a go at us but I can't see that happening under Jose Mourinho," former Liverpool striker John Aldridge wrote in a column for the city's Echo newspaper.
He allowed Martial's routine shot to squirm under his body from a quick Bruno Fernandes free-kick on the half-hour and then, with seconds left, threw a clearance straight to McTominay, who showed great technique to send a long-range finish, struck first time, into the net in front of a delirious Stretford End. It is a win that leaves Liverpool - who now have a 25-point lead at the top of the table - requiring only two more wins to secure their first league title for 30 years and Manchester United only three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, after their first derby league double since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
Liverpool, however, are the team to beat this season. They hold a 10 point lead at the top of the Premier League and still have a game in hand, and their last defeat in the league came back on the 3rd January.
DVTK even lost last round with no less than 4-0 away from home at 2nd from bottom club Debrecen and believe me when I tell you that Packs is in even better form at this stage of the season and also in dire need of points being just 2 points ahead of the relegation places after they lost last round with 3-1 away from home at 4th placed Puskas Academy, but that was indeed a tough game for them.
The FA Cup fifth round takes place this week with four days of fixtures, starting with Arsenal's trip to Portsmouth on Monday. Many great managers have lifted the famous trophy over the years - but how many of the 15 to have led their team to glory at Wembley (or in Cardiff, of course) since 2000 can you name?They include some of the greatest managers in history, some who masterminded famous upsets, and the man who has won more FA Cups than anybody else.
Meanwhile, Leeds come here with one of the best away records in the league. The visitors have the second-highest goals tally in their away games this season, with an impressive 17 shots per away game. That has helped them to score in 82% of their games so far. The visitors will expect to make the breakthrough against a Reading side who have two clean sheets from their last 13 games. Leeds have seen both teams score in three of their last four on the road and we’re backing a repeat when they meet on Tuesday.
this is going to be great game, second versus the first on the league table and difference between them is 7 points,Hamburg is favorite since they are playing at home but they are not in best shape and also on the other side arminia Bielefeld is very tough team to beat so I think we are not going to see a lot of goals in this match and probably team which score first will win the game or it will be draw 1-1 but either way I think we are not going to see more than two goals being scored here
The Premier League says its Black Lives Matter campaign is sending a message it is unacceptable to treat black people differently to anyone else - not an endorsement of a political movement. A series of tweets from the Black Lives Matter UK account about Palestine has prompted criticism. The Premier League said in a statement it was "aware of the risk posed by groups that seek to hijack popular causes to promote their own political views".
However, R&F struggled over the last two seasons of Stojkovic's tenure despite the goal scoring exploits of Israeli forward Eran Zahavi, who finished as the league's top marksman in 2019. Zahavi set a new Chinese Super League record with 29 goals in 28 games last year but R&F could only finish 12th, prompting the club to seek a replacement for the former Yugoslavia international midfielder.

I was so proud of my team's performance today, I thought they were absolutely magnificent. My team went right to the end, in tough conditions," he told the BBC. The way they attacked the game from the off, recovered from the equaliser and went again, I think there was one team there that was absolutely hanging on for a result in the end and that just shows what sort of performance we put in today.
They had not beaten Chelsea in any competition since 1988 and were thumped 4-0 by the Blues in the FA Cup in 2018. The Tigers also went into this game on the back of two league defeats - failing to score a goal in either of those games - but nevertheless gave a good account of themselves with a spirited performance. Top scorer Bowen, linked with a move to the top flight this month, was their busiest player in the first half and managed four shots on goal - more than any other player on the pitch although none of them really troubled Willy Caballero in the Chelsea goal.
Douglas Luiz tries a through ball, but Keinan Davis is caught offside. The last eight Everton away league games have all seen both teams score. Everton have conceded in each of their last 12 away league matches. Both teams have scored in four of the last six Watford matches. Watford are back in the Premier League relegation zone with only Norwich City below them.
It was Aberdeen's best display at home to Celtic for some time, but they have now lost the last eight home meetings with the Parkhead team. Reaction & how it happenedPlayer Rater: Who was your man of the match?'We won't get carried away' - LennonNo reward for battling AberdeenAberdeen ended a drought of five games without a goal in midweek against Hamilton and in the opening period they certainly looked like a team who could pose the champions problems.
Bayern have won each of their last nine DFB Pokal matches. Schalke are winless in the last four matches. Bayern have six straight away wins, scoring three or more in each. Schalke have conceded eight goals in their last two matches. Bayern are unbeaten in 13 matches ahead of this game. It has been a rough patch for Schalke 04 lately in the Bundesliga and they will be glad to pause that for DFB Pokal action when they host Bayern Munich in Gelsenkirchen.

With Torino on the up, they should pile onto SPAL’s concerns on the road. The visitors come here with the league’s worst away record, having lost all but one of their games on the road this season. With seven defeats in eight, SPAL are looking poor on their travels, which sets Torino up for another victory in their European bid.
We’re confident that PSV will win-to-nil on Saturday and we have predicted a 3-0 final scoreline. The hosts aren’t the form favourites heading into Saturday’s clash but do have a great record against their guests and have played their best football at home this season, while Fortuna Sittard are yet to win on the road, where losing has become a habit.
Both teams scored in 50% of Wycombe’s home games as well as in 70% of Burton’s away games, and the hosts haven’t failed to score at home this season while the visitors have only failed to score in 20% of their away games, so we can expect to see both keepers get beaten this weekend. Burton Albion have obtained as many one-goal margin wins as wins with a margin of two goals or more (3 wins for each), while a majority of Wycombe’s wins this season have been secured via a one-goal margin (7 wins).
