So close from Martinez. He really is an incredible player. Lukaku flicks the ball over his head for him to run onto, but he had to go towards the touchline to retrieve it, then he lobs the ball over his and the defenders head before shooting just wide of the target. Martinez puts the ball in the net chesting and volleying home superbly but he was a yard offside.
During his last stint at Leicester, when he saved them from relegation the season before they shocked everyone and won the Premier League in 2016, Pearson could be prickly," write McRae of Pearson in his profile in the Guardian. But losing his job in June 2015 broadened his vision. He discovered hiking and painting.
The league leaders go in search of another three points this weekend, while their run of high scoring home games could be extended. The Baggies have averaged over four goals in total per game this season, with both teams scoring in 100% of their home games.

They matched the Gunners for shots on target and arguably had better chances overall in a performance full of energy, grit and determination. Pukki's willing running provided an outlet from which to launch attacks, while Ibrahim Amadou showed plenty of industry in midfield and Max Aarons was solid at right-back. Daniel Farke's side also appear to have been buoyed by the renewal of their first-choice central defensive partnership - Christoph Zimmermann and Ben Godfrey.
Atletico Junior have a squad full of potential that has consistently reached the latter stages of the Copa Sudamericana in recent seasons. They could go far in the Libertadores but it's a tough ask to get a result against the reigning champions in their opener, especially champions as strong as Flamengo. Our money is on Jorge Jesus's team to start their defence with a win.
I am just trying to impact the next generation in a positive way," he said. I have done a lot of work with children and when I heard about the schools shutting down, I knew some kids would not be getting free meals at school. When I was at school, I was on free meals and my mum wouldn't get home until around six o'clock so my next meal would have been about eight o'clock. I was fortunate, and there are kids in much more difficult situations that don't get their meals at home.

After falling behind to goals from Sergio Aguero and Spaniard Rodri in the first 30 minutes, the Midlanders looked to be in for a punishing afternoon at Wembley. Yet a goal just before halftime by Mbwana Samatta gave them renewed hope and they almost forced extra time when City keeper Claudio Bravo pulled off a remarkable save to push Bjorn Engels' header against the post and out in the 87th minute.
Atletico Madrid and England right-back Kieran Trippier has had surgery to sort out a groin injury. Trippier, who joined the La Liga side from Tottenham last July, has not played since Atletico's defeat by Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final on 12 January. The 29-year-old has missed four games since and had an operation on Tuesday. Atletico Madrid host Liverpool in their Champions League last-16 first leg on 18 February.
They are eighth in the Premier League, eight points adrift of the top-four and the mood has become toxic. Any goodwill Emery retained has leaked away rapidly. NO IDENTITY So what has gone so wrong? Emery vowed to bring a modernise Arsenal's style but 18 months in and his team has no clear identity. Defensively they have been soft and the goals of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have largely papered over the cracks.
On Wednesday, Scottish club Hearts asked players and staff to take a wage cut of 50% because of the financial impact of the coronavirus. Owner Ann Budge said previously that the club would lose £1m in revenue from the indefinite suspension of football. The club says the move is to protect "as many jobs as possible" and avoid redundancies, adding the current situation is unsustainable.
Benfica will be outright favorites here, even though Sporting will not be pushovers. Benfica go to this game simply with the best form in Portugal and their away record in the league further boosts them. While they take on a side that has been doing well at home, Sporting have been on and off for most of the season. One factor that may work against them though is the fact that they have a porous defence and against Benfica this is very dangerous. Benfica have scored in 21 straight matches, have two leading scorers in the league and have scored two or more goals in 12 of their last 13 matches. On the other hand, Sporting have scored in 13 of their last 15 matches and also scored in each of their last 11 home matches. Though they will be the underdogs here, we expect them to hit the back of the net. We will thus go for both teams to score here, and a bet of over 2.5 goals will do.
The scorer of that opener, Oxlade-Chamberlain, is starting to regain the form he demonstrated prior to picking up a serious knee injury while Henderson was magnificent again in controlling the midfield. They were solid at the back with Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk's centre-back partnership continuing to flourish. The Reds were without the injured Sadio Mane, but Firmino and Salah delivered the goods; the Brazil striker produced a hat-trick of assists to take his total to 51 in all competitions for the club, while Salah scored twice.

Zaha's 82nd-minute goal was his first of the season and cancelled out Sadio Mane's 10th goal of the season just after half-time. Palace winger Zaha then wasted a great chance to score a second equaliser late on when he blazed over from close range. Palace defender James Tomkins also had a goal ruled out in first-half stoppage time by the video assistant referee after Jordan Ayew was adjudged to have fouled Dejan Lovren.
One concerning aspect to their season has been their complete lack of defensive solidity, unaided by Aymeric Laporte’s injury problems. Pep Guardiola’s side have conceded in 17 of their last 20 competitive matches and in seven of their 10 Premier League away games this season.
Despite a fierce local rivalry between the clubs [Spurs and Arsenal], he is among the candidates being considered by the Arsenal board. Pochettino is taking a break after his dismissal and it is unclear how he would view a potential approach from Arsenal, though it does seem an unlikely move and it would ruin the relationship he has built with Tottenham fans.
Klopp was asked following Liverpool's 2-0 defeat by Chelsea in the fifth round if the team was worried about the spread of the flu-like virus or how it might affect them. Look, what I don't like in life is that (for) a very serious thing, a football manager's opinion is important. I don't understand it," Klopp told a news conference.
West Ham, who enjoyed the better of the scoring opportunities until that point, remain 16th, above the bottom three only on goal difference. While David Moyes' side had limited possession, they took the game to their hosts, who came out of the blocks sluggishly and struggled to inject any tempo to their play. Jarrod Bowen's early shot was tipped on to a post by Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno and Michail Antonio failed to score from two clear chances either side of the interval.

When we look at Brentford's recent attacking form, especially at this venue, and compare it with Stoke's defensive efforts on the road, 'Brentford to Score Over 1.5 Goals' starts to make plenty of appeal. Not only have The Bees scored 13 in their last four at Griffin Park, scoring two or more in three of those four, but they're averaging an encouraging 5.67 shots on target for at home. That number makes them the best in the division in terms of shots on target per 90 at home. They're the second-best in the division when it comes to touches in the opposition box, averaging 20.18. Add in the recent defensive form of Stoke on the road, which isn't good, and a bet on home goals becomes hard to avoid.

Because of former League One side Bury's expulsion, only the bottom side was due to be relegated to the National League - but the situation is complicated by an ongoing misconduct charge against Macclesfield Town.

PSV’s home games produce an average of 4.00 goals and Rosenborg’s away games produce an average of 2.93 goals, providing even more reasons to expect there to be goals in Thursday’s clash. 75% of PSV’s home games have produced over 3.5 goals and the same can be said about 33% of Rosenborg’s away, which adds weight to our prediction of four goals being scored this Thursday.
On the other wing, the right-footed Daniel James looks exhausted after a promising first half to the season, but he cuts in to the centre too. There was no way for United to stretch the play or the opposition defence, which led to two players being the decisive duo for the hopes of breaking through to goal: Martial and Fernandes.

Hajduk’s main goal this season will be getting that second spot, which would lead them to the Champions League qualifiers. Jairo is playing great football this season with 7 goals. Hajduk is having some trouble away from home this season, as they have only 6 points from 7 games played there.
Burnley captain Ben Mee believes footballers can "get over" playing at neutral venues if it means fans get a "boost" from the sport resuming play during the coronavirus pandemic.

In addition, they are desperate to prevent the cancellation of the Belgian Pro League triggering a domino effect. Their letter to associations, leagues and clubs has pleaded for time - mid-May - to come up with a solution. It also contained a stark warning. Leagues that end prior to completion - as Belgium has done - risk not being allowed into next season's Champions and Europa Leagues. End the season now The difference with this compared to null and void is that points achieved to this point do count.
Potter also appeared to make some curious decisions with Glenn Murray, who carried an aerial threat when he came on as a substitute, left out of the starting XI. Solly March, the man Murray replaced, had arguably been one of Brighton's most effective players, attempting six shots - more than any other player before his withdrawal. What cannot be laid at Potter's door was some of the dreadful finishing that proved their downfall.
Neman Grodno Res. will against Energetyk-BGU Res. in match Belarusia Reserve. My prediction this match could be the win for Neman Grodno Res. with margin score is 2 goals.

The home team is the worst team in the league and is at the bottom of the table with only 4 goals scored and up to 16 conceded. The guests are in third place and they make a much better team, so I hope they will be able to control the game from the start and cause another convincing defeat for the home team. The teams are Canberra utd Youth and Newcastle jets youth quo play for the National Youth League of Australia. The youth of Canberra are 10th and have 1 pts after 6 games, on the youth side of the Newcastle jets, they have 8 pts after 6 games. I can see the kids from the Newcastle jets getting the 3 pts.

Falkenberg is going to face Hacken. The hosts of this clash are huge underdogs here but it will be the first leg of the new season in Sweden and everything is possible. The hosts were good at home in the previous season and I think that at this time they got even more chances to win against a team like Hacken. The visitors are obviously better team but no one knows how will they play in this match. I see a chance for this value pick for Falkenberg and the hosts can make a big surprise today. I pick Falkenberg to win this match

Every manager who has had Pogba in his squad, with the exception of perhaps one, has never really focused him on one particular position. This has been particularly notable in Manchester thanks to the constant revolving door in the manager's office. It feels as if Pogba has become the prototype of the good eclectic midfielder, able to everything but without excelling at anything.
I have that 100% - the fans have to believe what I'm saying. We are putting a strong plan together to do as much as we can in a short period and the league table doesn't lie. The top teams in certain areas are better than us. We know the challenge, it's really big and we're excited for what we have ahead of us.

You remember the humility Pep carried after the game," said Robinson. He had an ability to understand who we were and that was reflected in the things he said after. We crossed each other after our press conferences. I was with my daughter and he stopped and showed her a bit of time.
