One of the key conclusions from Barca's collapse at Liverpool in last season's Champions League semi-finals - a nightmare that still hovers over them - was the urgent need for more pace and power in midfield to avoid being overrun by more agile opponents. De Jong has been the man to provide it alongside the relatively slow and immobile Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Arthur Melo. He's amazing on the ball and his passing accuracy is always over 90%," added Orlandi.
Pochettino was sacked six months after leading the club to the Champions League final after a poor start to the season left them 14th in the league, with Jose Mourinho taking over the next day. When it first happened, you just blame yourself when you're sad and you don't really look at the big picture," Alli told reporters ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match against Olympiakos Piraeus.

I'm absolutely sure in plenty of goals in this match who will be played in Romania elite league today and that is really ok option. Viitorul is generally team who is excellent at home and this team is almost in any match at home, playing with three or more goals, so maybe and this time can be similar. In last few duels, at home stadium, Viitorul is played 3-0, 3-2, 2-1 and similar. In last two official matches against Sepsis, this team is played 3-1 and 2-2, so over is very good option. I will try that here and that is real.

Stoke have improved since Michael O'Neill took over but are still inconsistent. The Potters have a good home record but Millwall can escape defeat this weekend. Go for a double chance bet on Millwall to win or draw this game.
We set the team up to go toe-to-toe and we're good value for money. People enjoy what we're about. But how has he handled the increased scrutiny that accompanies life in the Premier League?"Everything gets pinned up," joked Wilder. We have a WhatsApp group of what's been said. There's a lot of noise and nonsense that gets chucked about. I think at times I'm quite angry and I want to fight my way out of corners.
I’ll see you in Italy soon. VAR 'a mess' says UEFA president UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has labelled VAR “a mess” but concedes there is no way to reverse the decision to use video technology. If you have a long nose, you are in an offside position these days. Read the full story here 10:05 - Jose's return Jose Mourinho's two-year stint at Manchester United was not always a happy one but the Portuguese harbours no bitterness at the club and says he is now a better manager as he prepares to return with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, after finishing well off the play-off pace last season, Barnet are hoping to break into the top 7 this campaign. On paper, they have some talented players that should really be contending at the top end of the National League but currently 11th, there's still plenty of work to be done.
While Derby have ambitions, Fulham are on the right track to land their goals. They want promotion by any means, with the Cottagers up to fourth after their Friday night win. The hosts are hoping to cut a five-point gap to the top two this week, with automatic promotion clearly attainable for this talented Fulham side.
It was also alleged former City boss Roberto Mancini was paid £1. Premier League club - to act as a consultant to Abu Dhabi-based Al Jazira Sports and Cultural Club, which is controlled by Sheikh Mansour. City have always said the information was obtained illegally and represented "a clear and obvious attempt" to damage the club's reputation. Given the vehemence with which they have contested the charges levelled against them, City know a reduction in their European suspension will not be enough to clear their name and the stigma that they tried to cheat the system.

I turned around and Harry was celebrating, I looked at the replay on the screen and watched exactly what happened.
West Ham were beaten in three of their last four Premier League away contests, and while their loss to Wolves at Molineux isn't a cause for concern, their brace of scoreless defeats at poor Everton and Burnley teams certainly are.
Sweden coach Janne Andersson: "Looking at the different groups, ours is not the toughest nor the easiest. We get later dates to play which gives us some extra days to prepare.

Premier League facing decisive week over resumptionWhile McAnuff is unsure whether he will play again this season - Orient are 17th in League Two - the 38-year-old believes some top-flight players will share his concerns as the Premier League examines how to resume. Clearly football's being in the focus because of Project Restart and all of that talk," added McAnuff. Of course the players are going to be at risk, but if they are in households where they have got grandparents or aunties and uncles, their parents, brothers and sisters, who may be more susceptible to critical illness or even high risk of death, then clearly that is going to be a factor in these guys' decisions.
While the Premier League clubs have the financial clout to ride out the current situation, Wilder said it was important to look after the whole football family. Video - Barcelona and Real Madrid are tussling for Napoli's midfield maestro - Euro Papers01:26 "I think the experience I've had right through all four divisions, it's not just about the Premier League, it's about the welfare of the game right throughout the pyramid," he said.

MATCH FACTSWolves' only previous meeting with Spanish opponents came in the 1959-60 European Cup quarter-final, where they were eliminated by Barcelona 9-2 on aggregate (4-0 away, 5-2 at home). Espanyol's only previous meeting with English opponents was in the second round of the 1961-62 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, eliminating Birmingham City 5-3 on aggregate (0-1 away, 5-2 at home). In a run stretching back to October 1973, Wolves have won nine of their last 10 home games in all European competitions - losing only against Braga on matchday one this season.
Valerenga finished tenth last season and the team had a very good start to the new season as they had a 1-0 win in Sarpsborg at the beginning of the season. Stabaek finished eighth last season with 6 points less, the season opener was somewhat downplayed with a 0-0 in the home game against Mjondalen, but here I expect some goals, even if some contradictions are won. Stabaek are need point after ahead of the trip to Oslo, meaning that they are eager to grab something from the match. Given Valerenga’s poor form, share of spoils is on the cards. I think it will be a cagey and tough affair.
Beattie says he agrees to some extent, and that if a footballer playing at a good level came out as gay it "might give a lot of confidence to other people". Then again, football's very volatile," he added. I think with players' careers, being quite short, it adds an element of risk. Simone Pound, Head of Equality and Diversity at the Professional Footballers Association, says Beattie is a "pioneer in the game".

That's 11 league games on the bounce without shutting out their opponents - and 26 goals conceded during that period. Hamilton are known for their survival skills, but the trend needs to change if they want to avoid the drop. Accies sink to another loss against Aberdeen Defensive chaosIn the thrilling 3-2 loss at the hands of Kilmarnock, it was clear Hearts needed to address multiple defensive frailties - one goal was from a goalkeeping error, one was from a long ball and one was poor tracking on the edge of the box.

In today's market, I think we got a good deal. He has given everyone a boost. Sunday's comprehensive win against Watford moved United into the top five, a position that could potentially be enough for Champions League qualification following Manchester City's European ban. Mind-blowing' Martial on a roll Martial netted his third goal in three games against WatfordWith Marcus Rashford possibly out for the rest of the season with a back injury, Anthony Martial has to spearhead United's goal threat and his latest effort, which ended with a brilliant finish after Ben Foster has stopped the Frenchman's initial effort, has taken him to 15 for the season, two short of his best return.
Neman 2 is playing its games on a superb indoor stadium very nice for attacking teams and goals are really not that hard to be scored at such a venue. Watched them defeat Belshina 2 at home with 5-2 despite the score being just 0-0 by half-time of the game, and I also had a bet in their last home game against modest Energetik 2 but received a red card early in that game and only won 2-1 and I lost my over 3.5 goals but otherwise it would have been a winning bet.
They are 17th in the National League and only four points clear and now host 12th placed Dover Athletic. Eastleigh suffered a 4-0 loss at Notts County on Saturday and have just one win in their last nine league games. That sole win came at Chorley who are bottom of the table and 13 points adrift of the rest of the teams.
So far, the Saints have secured 44 points and are 12th while Brighton have 36 points and in 15th place. Southampton are unbeaten in three matches; they beat Watford 3-1 before registering a crucial 1-0 win over Manchester City and battling to a 1-1 draw with Everton in the most recent game. With three wins in their last five matches, Southampton will look at the clash against Brighton as a winnable game and a chance to improve their home form, which has not been really impressive in recent games.
Porto did not look very good in the recent matches, after the long break due to the events that occurred outside of football, however they are ranked 2nd place with 60 points and are in race for the title. They host Maritimo, team who is ranked 15th place with only 25 points.
We’re expecting the catastrophic defences of both sides to be on show here. Man Utd have seen both teams score in 80% of their home league matches this season, including each of their last seven. Norwich, meanwhile, have returned to scoring form on the road but have kept just one away clean sheet all term. Backing Both Teams to Score looks a very solid option.
I have just ignore the odds which are favoring the home team and choose the visitors to collect all the points so as to get four consecutive wins against Isloch fc, the hosts last won in 2016 at this venue since that win they didn't find a win against Slutsk fc. The hosts have started this season in a better form that give them 3rd place in the league table with accumulation of 6 points and they have won their last home game against Neman Grodno by one goal to nothing.
Saturday was supposed to mark the end of the Championship's regular season. Would Leeds end their 16-year Premier League exile? Would West Brom return to the top flight? Which teams would fall in the eight-way survival scrap?Those questions remain unanswered, with professional football on hold indefinitely because of coronavirus. To help fill the void BBC Sport have compiled a selection (in no particular order) of the English Football League's most memorable final days - featuring winner-takes-all showdowns and the keeper who scored that goal.

Victory, coupled with Fulham's shock home loss to Barnsley, meant that the Whites stretched their lead over the third-placed Cottagers to three points. The hosts went into the game on the back of a run of just one win in seven league games but the visitors could not live with their intensity in difficult conditions. Relive Saturday's EFL actionThey could have gone in front before Ayling hammered in his second goal of the season, while Costa and Stuart Dallas went close to making it two before Patrick Bamford had an effort ruled out for offside as the hosts threatened to run away with it before the break.
If Woodward can’t even recognise the potential usefulness of buying a shiny new distraction for supporters at the moment then all sense really has departed the club.

Mourinho noted that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, held by Aston Villa and Sheffield United in their last two league games, had delivered their best displays against the top-rated teams. United results against the best teams this season have been good. Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester," he said. For the way they play it is easier for them.
Manchester City will face Lyon or Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals if they hold on to their first-leg advantage over Real Madrid. City hold a 2-1 lead after the first leg of their last-16 tie, which was played before the tournament was suspended because of coronavirus. The quarter-finals, semis and final will be held over 12 days in Portugal. Chelsea could face Barcelona or Napoli in the last eight but trail Bayern Munich 3-0 in their last-16 tie.
Because the rules are not the best, we have another game, in a break in the season," said Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has managed in the German Bundesliga. I don't understand this but, OK, we have to do it. It's for us not perfect but we must accept it. Spurs and Liverpool will have 11 days off instead of two weeks. If Newcastle have to play their replay at Oxford on 4 February, three days after a Premier League game against Norwich, they will only have 12 days off before their trip to Arsenal.
Both sides had winning outings in their last matches in their respective leagues, LASK beating St. Polten 4-1 as AZ saw off PEC Zwolle 2-0 and will thus go to this clash on a high. For LASK, this weekend win marked their seventh straight unbeaten match and they have scored two or more goals in six of those.

Gap between big and smallCatlin believes the debate in League One stems from the differences in size between clubs in the third tier. At one end, there are clubs like Sunderland and Portsmouth, who are former Premier League sides, while others such as Tranmere and AFC Wimbledon have played in non-league football in the past decade. I liken it to an elastic band, where the Championship is on one side and League Two's on the other," said Catlin.

Angers will be eyeing up Nice's away form with great intrigue as they enter this fixture. Le SCO have lost just two of their ten home matches this season, one of which was against second place Marseille, and will be rather confident ahead of this match. They've kept six clean sheets in this time and are actually drawn for the third least goals conceded at home this season.
