Emery's strategy and communication was also flawed elsewhere, notably when it came to selecting a new captain to succeed the departed Laurent Koscielny. Instead of being decisive and naming his captain, he ended with a botched players' vote that elected Granit Xhaka, a divisive figure among fans as both a personality and player who had failed to justify a £35m fee when he arrived from Borussia Monchenglabach in May 2016.
Valencia and Chelsea face each other on a Champions League feature. This is the fifth fixture of the group stage. This is a group that is completely open. All 3 team Ajax Valencia and Chelsea have the same points and all will fight for the first place in the group. Last time they met Valencia won 1 - 0 in a match that Chelsea controlled, today I believe it will be tough again and I have to give the most value to the draw. They defend well, they play a similar style and both have very young teams. I predict the draw

A grown man should not go on the floor for that push but he wanted the maximum amount of punishment to be given to Di Canio. Come on man. I was at West Ham with him and he would get away with murder. If any decisions went against him in training, he would just walk off. He would be speaking in Italian and his arms would be waving all over the place. He was so intent on winning even the five-a-side games.
Premier League players have come under "unfair criticism" during the coronavirus pandemic, says England captain Harry Kane. Last month health secretary Matt Hancock said players should "take a pay cut and play their part". We've shown we're doing everything we can to help support the NHS, charities and everyone who is struggling during this pandemic," Kane told BBC 5 Live. We came under a bit of scrutiny and probably unfair criticism at times.
Lyon, who are in the Champions League last 16, are seventh in Ligue 1, 10 points behind Stade Rennais who occupy the last qualifying spot for Europe's premier club competition. Marseille, who are not in the Champions League this season, are second, six points above Rennes. When his fever has gone down, Jean-Michel Aulas will see the obscenity of his opportunism and will quickly return to the values that make him a great footballing operator," OM president Jacques-Henri Eyraud told Le Journal du Dimanche.
Arsenal will be happy to return home to a game of this caliber after their extra time loss to Olimpiacos and looking at their home form, versus the away form carried by West Ham, we are confident the Gunners will prevail. West Ham are winless in five away league matches but have managed to sneak in some goals and looking at the shaky Arsenal defence, we may see a West Ham goal fly in. Back Arsenal for a 2-1 win here.
Along side our over 2.5 goals and both teams to score prediction, we're forecasting a 2-2 draw in our correct score tip. Valencia have shown potency in front of goal at home, hitting two or more goals in four of their last six games on their own patch, while Chelsea have scored at least twice in six of their last eight away from Stamford Bridge.
Moroccan striker Abderazzak Hamdallah will lead the charge for coach Rui Vitoria's side, with the former Guangzhou R&F forward's strike rate of 49 goals in 34 games in Al Nassr's domestic title win sure to cause opposing defences significant concern.

Kalmar will against Jonkopings Sodra in match Sweden Club friendlies. My prediction this match could be the win for Kalmar with margin score is 2 goals. Kalmar have great result on last 7 match due to Kalmar have won in 5 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Jonkopings Sodra have not good result on last 7 match due to Jonkopings Sodra only have won in 2 match, 1 match is draw and 4 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Kalmar can beat Jonkopings Sodra on this match. Moreover on dated 1 March 2020 Kalmar has just beat Jonkopings Sodra with score 5-0. Surely Kalmar have more chance to win on this match.

Opava is on last place on the table with horrible record on the road and before the break they went into a streak of 12 games without a road win and seven games without scoring a goal on the road, but I think that might change today and I think they might score a goal in this game cause Teplice does not seem to be in good shape since they lost from bohemians 4-0 on the road in first restart game but of course Teplice is much better team at home so I expect from them to score a goal too today
Sheff Utd beat Spurs to close in on top sixRelive Thursday's Premier League action'We cannot mentally die from Michael Oliver's decision'Tottenham struggled to find their rhythm after that decision as the Blades eased to victory thanks to goals by Sander Berge, Lys Mousset and Oli McBurnie, before Kane grabbed a late consolation. Mourinho, whose side are now nine points off fourth place and seven off sixth, said his players need to be stronger mentally to deal with decisions that are difficult to take.
Yeah, I would [walk off], for sure," he said. Because those things in my opinion cannot happen. Everyone will have their own opinion about it, but in my opinion you should also protect the players. Brescia striker Mario Balotelli kicked the ball into the crowd and threatened to leave the pitch due to racist abuse during his side's 2-1 defeat by Hellas Verona this month. The former Manchester City and Liverpool player later criticised the "small-minded fans" who shouted abuse at him.

Walter Ferretti U20 is going to face Real Madriz U20. The hosts are favorite here to win but I don't think that they will be able to win this match. Ferretti won 3 of 5 matches at home and lost 1:4 against Esteli. Ferretti draws against Real Madrid 2:2 in the previous clash. The visitors won against Diriangen u20 in the previous match 3:0 on away and I think that after this good result they will be able to pick at least one point. If they will lose this match they shouldn't lose it by more than one goal. I pick handicap here
But these accusations have been rebuffed by the Saudi government, which claims it wants to get more of its people engaged in sport. Complaints to the Premier LeagueCengiz has also written to the Premier League to say the takeover should be blocked. In a reply to her letter from chief executive Richard Masters, seen by BBC Sport, he says the Premier League is following "due processes required by UK law and by the Premier League's own rules", which "go beyond those required by UK company law" and are "applied with rigour".
Speaking to BBC Scotland's Scottish Football Podcast, he added: "In my five years there we didn't have Henrik for the final year and you're always trying to make do. It's very important to hold on to your best players, because these are the ones that will win matches for you. They will turn the tide for you if games are even or if you're losing with 20 minutes to go. You know when the likes of Larsson is still on the field you still have a chance of winning that game.
Stoke said the former Northern Ireland boss will now follow the relevant guidance and have a period of isolation. The Championship club also confirmed on Tuesday that O'Neill will be in regular virtual contact with his coaching staff and players.

City sit 17th in the Championship, three points above the relegation zone.
Crystal Palace will be at home against high riding and the best in the Premier League Liverpool. Palace are 12th in the league with 15 points from 12 matches, scoring 10 goals against 16. They dropped form recently that saw them with 3 lost game from the last 4 games played. After the victory against West Ham away and against Norwich at home, things looks better but with the current form and Liverpool is calling, it's not going to be easy to tackle the opponent at the moment. Liverpool and incredible at the moment both in domestic league and Champions League the brought them as leader with 34 points from 12 matches, scoring 28 goals against 10. I believe them to win here to keep the points more far available.
Wolves drew 1-1 with their hosts in three of their last four Premier League away games, and with Bournemouth scoring 1.33 goals and conceding 1.13 goals on average at home, the statistics point us in the direction of a 1-1 final scoreline between the teams this weekend, in a repeat result of the teams' last meeting at the Vitality Stadium in February.
Barcelona head to this game with nothing to play for, but we still expect that they will be stronger than their hosts, who also don’t have much to play for. Alaves have secured survival after a rough patch of matches since resumption of football. They have lost seven of their last 10 matches and will need to be at the top of their game to beat Barcelona, who have won each of the last seven meetings between these two. Alaves have not been scoring regularly in their recent matches and while Barcelona have been weak defensively this season, we expect them to keep a clean sheet. Looking at the attacking prowess in the Barcelona side and with three clean sheets in the last five away matches, we will go with a correct score of 2-0 for the visitors.
