Meanwhile, accustomed to competing in finals over Marcelo Gallardo's spectacular reign, Saturday's game isn't a monumental occasion for River Plate but is certainly one they'll be fully expecting to win. Los Millonaros won the Copa Argentina in both 2016 and 2017 and reclaiming it would lift spirits after their Copa Libertadores final defeat to Flamengo.
I was immediately very upset that Sterling didn't get the red card and then that situation happened again and in one minute I was laughing and the next minute fuming," he said. Mourinho said on-field referee Mike Dean should have taken the call on the penalty himself and that Sterling escaping the second booking after going down under slight contact from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was another unacceptable VAR 'mistake'.
Then to have the balance, the composure and the ability to pick his spot in the corner and slot it as coolly as he did, was sensational.

This is another big game for Villa, but I don't see it ending so well. I know they beat Palace 2-0 but they don't seem to create many chances at all from open play, which has to be a real worry for them. The way they played against Wolves, Everton looked as though they were on the beach already, but Carlo Ancelotti tore into them afterwards and, it feels as if we will see a reaction here. I think quite a few people in this Everton team will be elsewhere next season, though.

These two teams have faced each other a lot of times. In this clash, Stoke is a main outsider with 11 points from 16 games played. So, it can be an easy meat for the Cardiff City.

DOZENS OF STADIUMS Under Orban hundreds of local pitches, a dozen new arenas nationwide, and the big national stadium have been inaugurated, training facilities have been built and oaths sworn.
Untrue. On a personal level, Griezmann has joined Messi and Luis Suarez, along with their wives, for dinner and their relationship is good, even though Griezmann has yet to find his niche in the side. In any case, there is a conscious effort by both Messi and Suarez to help him adapt. Messi reached 700 goals for club and country with a Panenka penalty against Atletico Madrid in midweekOn the managerial front he has been accused of having got former manager Tata Martino sacked and current manager Quique Setien hired because he liked his style of football.
Jordan Henderson's clipped through ball was aimed at Mane but lacked the required accuracy, dropping on his blindside and over his shoulder, but the 27-year-old managed to read the flight of the ball, somehow take it in stride and dispatch it past Tim Krul all in one swift movement. It is not too far a stretch to say that no other player in the league would have scored that goal.
Rashford, who has scored 14 league goals this season, picked up a back issue in the 1-0 FA Cup replay win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday after coming on as a substitute. The 22-year-old scored the opener when United held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at home in October, the only time Juergen Klopp's side have dropped points in the league this season.

Sheffield United came from behind to earn their first win in five Premier League games and leave Norwich City four points adrift of safety. George Baldock provided the cross for Enda Stevens' equaliser and then fired in what proved to be the winner in a vastly improved second-half performance from the Blades.
I believe Slavia Reserves and Torpedo Zhodino Reserves will share the points in this match. There are two reasons for my pick. The first is connect with the hosts. Slavia Reserves are not among the best, they have collected just 4 points and sit third from the bottom. But they stayed unbeaten last weekend playing 1:1 draw at Vitebsk. Danila Slesarchuk scored the goal on that match.
Media playback is not supported on this device West Ham conceded three 'terrible' goals They were great when they were 3-1 up against the Seagulls, but the way they are conceding goals and dropping points from winning positions - 19 this season, a Premier League high - is a massive worry. That is an issue for their players too, because it will affect their mindset. Even when they go a goal in front, everyone kind of takes a step back because they know what is coming, and it is very difficult to change that mentality.
Leverkusen have also historically fared poorly on their travels to take on Bayern Munich. They have won just one of their last 15 away games versus Bayern Munich. This record stretches back as far as 2005. Leverkusen also lost three of their last four games at the Allianz by more than one goal.
Getafe will host SD Eibar for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this match. Getafe have advantage at home stadium. Also, Getafe are more ambitious team in this season. They probably want to stay among the top 6 teams at the top of the table. True, Getafe have fallen in their shape. I think, they are not convincing team. Also, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Eibar are in danger of getting relegation zone. I think, they want at least one points. I expect, this will be tough match. Maybe this is - draw.
