Goals from Oleksandr Zinchenko, Sergio Aguero, Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Phil Foden ultimately made it a routine day for City, although Tom Pope had equalised for a Vale side sitting 74 places lower in the standings. Manchester United, like City, made multiple changes to their starting lineup at Wolves in a tie that finally came alive in the second half after a lacklustre opening 45 minutes.
It's not because we have won the last two games," Guardiola added. Even if it was going bad, I'm not going anywhere. No manager wins all the time. I enjoy working with these players. We've lost some games so it is simple, we need to work out what we can do better. Sergio Aguero: Manchester City forward is a 'legend' says Pep Guardiola'If you're training at 72, it must be boring at home'Guardiola celebrates his 49th birthday on Saturday, which means he will be 23 years younger than Roy Hodgson in the opposite dugout at Etihad Stadium.

Roma say they will not be travelling to their Europa League tie with Sevilla on Thursday because their plane from Italy is not authorised to land in Spain. The last-16 first-leg game in Seville was already due to be played behind closed doors amid coronavirus fears. On Tuesday, Italian side Atalanta's Champions League game at Valencia on Wednesday went ahead as planned. Italy has the most cases outside China with more than 10,000 and the entire country has been placed in lockdown.
Club matches with 60,000 fans were not uncommon whereas today the most popular team, Ferencvaros, averages 7,600. Demolished in 2015, the People’s Stadium concrete was recycled in the new stands and the centre circle was preserved in the exact same location. Although the stadium's hefty price tag drew heavy criticism – especially as early plans for a multi-functional arena hosting facilities for several sports were abandoned to create a football-only pitch – the government has defended it as necessary, along with all other spending on the sport.
They were not great in the FA Cup against Tranmere either, but that does not really matter because it was basically their reserve team that lost that tie. As for Everton, well you could sum them up at the moment by the way they failed to see out their game against Newcastle despite leading 2-0 at the end of the 90 minutes. Media playback is not supported on this device Everton played a 'fantastic' game - Carlo Ancelotti They have improved a lot under Carlo Ancelotti, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
Both teams scored in five of Heerenveen’s last six matches and Vitesse have only kept two clean sheets in their last six attempts. Both teams scored in 71% of Heerenveen’s home games and in 43% of Vitesse’s away games this season, so you can start to see just why we have backed goals to be scored by both side on Friday night.
JaPS is going to face Reipas. The hosts of this match are favorites here as they won the first match of this season 5:0. They look so strong to be honest they should be one of the best teams in this season. JaPS won the previous meeting against Reipas 2:1 but they were not as strong as now. Reipas won at home 2:1 against Pk 35 but on away they were struggling so hard and I don't think that something will change. My bet for this match is JaPS to win this clash by more than 2 goals. The hosts are a just better team
Spurs moved to their new 62,062-seater stadium in April after almost two seasons playing their home matches at Wembley but have struggled for consistency this term and were 14th in the table when Pochettino was dismissed. I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting," added Pochettino. He had begun his statement by saying: "I would like to thank [owner] Joe Lewis and [chairman] Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham Hotspur's history.

Young team of Managua is safe at the first position, and they are already in the semi final round of the playoff. They have three games lost in this part of the season, and one of those was against this rival. Jalapa won in the first part 2:1, on the home ground, and they could be tough rival for the Managua again.
Having reached the play-offs last season, only to go down in the semi-finals, Depor would’ve had their sights set on another push for promotion this time around, though things have gone horribly wrong for the Galician team. As things stand, La Coruna find themselves sat looking up at every other Segunda side. Fortunately, they're not yet chasing a lost cause as they're only four points from safety.
The club also has an impressive array of talented youngsters out on loan, including creative midfielder Martin Odegaard (Real Sociedad), dazzling winger Take Kubo (Mallorca) and hard-charging left-back Sergio Reguilon (Sevilla). Offloading Bale and James, if anyone is prepared to meet their wage demands, would raise the necessary funds to add depth in midfield and recruit a long-term replacement for Benzema, with fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappe still the preferred choice for that role.
Manchester United head to this game as favorites but they will have to be very cautious against a Derby side that just recovered from a winless spate and with a fine run at home. Derby have lost once in the last 17 home matches and head here with 10 wins in the last 15 at their backyard. They haven’t managed a lot of clean sheets lately, but at home they have somehow managed to end matches in their favor. United troop here from their close shave against Everton, though they carry a good run too, and especially the five-match unbeaten run away from home. With the reality of shocks in the FA Cup, they will be cautious to avoid one here but knowing Derby and how they play at home, and with the Wayne Rooney factor, we may be in for one here. We will go with a two – way pick in this; a Derby County win or draw.
It has been nearly 13 years since David Beckham stunned the football world when he swapped Real Madrid for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy. Since then, a number of British stars, such as Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, have plied their trade across the Atlantic. But what about the surprisingly long list of English footballers - and coaches - who are pursuing their careers in the USL Championship, the league below MLS? Keanu Marsh-Brown and Jose Baxter tasted life in the Premier League, playing for Fulham and Everton respectively.
Stade Brestois 89 v RC Strasbourg predictions for this Ligue 1 match. Strasbourg have been one of Ligue 1’s most in-form sides recently and it could get messy as they travel to face one of the league’s most out-of-form teams. Read on for our free Ligue 1 predictions and betting tips.
Keeper David Soria is probably still enduring nightmares about the first goal after parrying haplessly into his own net, but the last couple of seasons tell us that this Getafe outfit are unlikely to remain in a slump for long.
It was typical of Liverpool fans really - they always know how to celebrate, and obviously our first league title since 1990 is a pretty good excuse. Absolutely incredible' - Klopp reacts to Liverpool title win How Klopp turned Liverpool into title winners - the inside story£1. Liverpool's 30-year wait in numbers'Here we go' - the moment it was done Liverpool's celebrations continued long into the nightWhen Willian scored it was a case of 'here we go, this is a done deal' but my phone had started going nuts much earlier in the night, when Christian Pulisic's goal put City behind.
In my career, perhaps the most important goal was the 1967 one against Rangers nine years before that final," he recalls. We won our first international title - it was like an international kick-start for Bayern Munich to become one of the best clubs in the world. Of course this goal was always in my mind. But you know, every game starts up new from the first minute. Franz Roth, in white, watches his free-kick fly into the St Etienne net"It was a really challenging game.
Defending against the likes of Liverpool, Napoli and Salzburg, all of whom have no shortage of attacking talent, was never going to be easy, though Hannes Wolf would've probably hoped that his side could put up more than a fight. As 16 goals conceded suggests, the Belgians have been unable to withstand attacking pressure.
Olympique Lyon lost to Nice last weekend but overall they have been in good form with a 7-2-1 record in the last 10 games. Especially at home Lyon have been excellent with 4 wins in a row scoring 3 or more goals in each game.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Coventry City are yet to win away from home this season but have been involved in seven stalemates on the road making the visitors the draw specialists in League One.
Dinamo Minsk is going to face Neman Grodno for the 5th round of the Belarusian League. They will play against the team which is undefeated in the last three matches. Minsk won only against Zhodino at home with the result of 2:0 but after that, they failed to even score against Gorodeya and lost that clash 0:1. The visitors draw against Soligorsk on away 0:0 and won against Witebsk at home 2:0. Both teams don't play offensive football so I don't expect them to score more than one goal. I think that Demand is able to win this match. My bets are 1:0 or 0:1
Forward Nikita Parris has apologised to former international team-mate Eniola Aluko for her show of support for then-England boss Mark Sampson in 2017. Parris, 26, ran to celebrate with Sampson, who was accused of racially discriminating against Aluko and Drew Spence, after a goal against Russia. An enquiry later ruled that Sampson had made unacceptable remarks to Aluko and Spence. Eni, I am sorry that my thoughtless actions caused you hurt," wrote Parris.
It is hard to know what to expect from the Magpies this time - they are safe so have nothing to play for, unlike Watford who are fighting for their lives. I'd have to back the Hornets here, but I'm expecting more of a fight from Newcastle. They won't get battered again. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Scotty's prediction: Newcastle are one of the teams who seem to be thriving without fans putting pressure on them, when there can be a pretty toxic atmosphere at St James' Park because of the way their supporters view their owner.
David Luiz is the first player to be sent off against Chelsea in the Premier League, having previously played for the Blues in the competition, since Vinnie Jones in 1995Yet Mustafi made up for his error with the clearance which allowed Martinelli to burst forward, after Kante's slip, and produce a sublime finish under Kepa Arrizabalaga. Chelsea looked like they had secured a first top-flight double over their London neighbours in four years when Azpilicueta restored their lead in the closing minutes but Arteta's side were not done.
The Gunners arrived in Norfolk having kept just two clean sheets in the league all season and left with the joint worst defensive record of any club in the top half of the table. An absence of leadership or quality in central defensive areas appears a fundamental flaw and not one easily addressed in the short term by Ljungberg. Arsenal have bought defenders in recent years, but none fit the mould of a Tony Adams, Sol Campbell or Martin Keown, who were known for being commanding and who seemed to enjoy nullifying their direct opponents.
Raheem Sterling has only played for one minute in City's two Premier League games in 2020 as he was an unused substitute in the 6-1 win over Aston Villa so you would expect him to return to a three-man attack at home against Crystal Palace. On a similar theme, Kevin de Bruyne, who has 16 league assists this season - six more than any other player - was taken off in the second half against Villa but not because of an injury and therefore is likely to play from the beginning against the Eagles.
Mid-table Levante, based in Valencia, will similarly stage their home games nearly 100 miles away, near Alicante). Playing within the confines of their training ground, Zidane's players are obviously familiar with their temporary matchday surroundings. But the prospect of visiting a humble 6,000-seater rather than the vast Bernabeu is a far less daunting proposition for opponents and that lack of home-field advantage could be telling.
And whilst Osasuna have shipped plenty of goals in recent outings, they have endured a horrendous run of fixtures as previously outlined. They should find some solidity against a Celta side that have failed to score in three of their last four home matches, so we're tipping up a 0-1 away success, alongside our fancy for under 2.5 goals to be scored.
Barcelona dominated possession throughout against Napoli, who were happy to rely on counter-attacks, yet their goal came from their only shot on target. The lively Dries Mertens gave Napoli the lead in an otherwise uneventful first half, curling the ball sweetly into the top corner after a good pass from Piotr Zielinski.
