They needed the three points, they got the three points and Dean Smith got his performance. It was important Villa stepped up and played with confidence after three defeats. Newcastle helped them immensely by the fact they were so passive. Villa did have to weather a little bit of a Newcastle storm at the start of the second half but it was a big performance and they're back on track. Man of the match - Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa) Jack Grealish was also excellent but Conor Hourihane gets the nod for scoring one goal and making another.
Dudelange fc to take on Apoel fc on Thursday the 28th of November for their second leg in the Europa league. First leg the host won it but they were also conceding too much, so I think they sort this problem by fixing other quality defenders or by changing the formation they used in their first leg.
Many within the Spanish sports world criticised the move to Saudi Arabia for prioritising money and ignoring abuses in the Muslim kingdom where women’s rights lag and officials masterminded the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The RFEF has not released financial details of its deal to move the competition to Saudi Arabia for three years, though media estimate the deal will bring it up to 40 million euros annually ($44 million).
I know Lazio put together quite a couple of wins in a row in the league at this moment and cherry on top for them has been beating Juventus with 3-1 at home not so long ago, but I really do not trust them at least as far as their defense is concerned. Last season they did win here with 2-1, but this season is much better for Cagliari who are in the top half fighting for the top places themselves right now.
A corner is headed out and played out to Nelson on the right. He whips in a powerful cross that Sokratis volleys in very nicely from about 12 yards out. GOAL! Arsenal double their lead. Nelson does brilliantly down the right as he gets McCrorie one-on-one and races past him before delivering a cross towards Nketiah at the near post.
The club filed an appeal with CAS in June in a bid to be able to recruit in the January transfer window, and Lampard was asked at a news conference when a decision could be expected. Very soon, I believe. Days, I think," he replied. I haven't heard any more, so I would wait and reserve judgement (on Chelsea's plans for January) until we get the judgement and see where we want to go from there.

Malmo took a big step towards qualification in the last match week, beating Dynamo Kyiv 4-3, putting themselves two points ahead of their rivals heading into the last set of games in Group B. There were some doubts over the sides ability to find the net but those were put to bed following their four goal haul.
Wolfsburg have scored more than once in just three of their last 16 competitive games. High-scoring Werder Bremen could very well outscore Wolfsburg in this game. However, Wolfsburg have also seen five 1-1 draws already this season. We predict that they will see another this Sunday.
If Doncaster have been tough to beat at home, then Shrewsbury have been very tough to beat on their travels. Not only did Tuesday's visitors avoid defeat away against Championship opposition in the FA Cup on Saturday, but they've lost just one of their last eight travelling matches in League 1, keeping five clean sheets in the process.
Inter have a two goal advantage from first leg, quality is on their side, and they will be able to rest some standard players in this duel. Ludogorets is not so weak opponent, despite defeat of 0-2 on their stadium, they will not surrender, but reality is cruel, they simply not have enough quality to qualify into next round. Wanderson, Swierczok and Marcelinho will be in attack, but it's never easy task to score a goal against Inter, despite the fact that host will be without their first goalkeeper Handanovic. After final whistle of the referee I expect equal result and match without winner.

And they make a valid point. Pochettino, after all, took Spurs to within 90 minutes of Europe's most prized trophy and provided four successive top-four finishes after arriving from Southampton in May 2014. He has rightly been credited with revitalising Spurs and putting them among Europe's elite, despite the financial restrictions placed on him by the move out of their old White Hart Lane home, becoming one of the most coveted coaches in European football.
Vitor Pereira says he has pulled out of the running to become the new Everton manager. The Shanghai SIPG coach was high on the Toffees' list to succeed the sacked Marco Silva on a permanent basis. Duncan Ferguson is currently in caretaker charge. It's an honour and I'm grateful to be considered by a club I have so much respect for but I am still coach of SIPG and SIPG is a club close to my heart," Pereira told Sky Sports News.
A terrible blunder from Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita helped Sheffield United to a 1-0 Premier League victory at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Guaita failed to handle United midfielder Oliver Norwood's whipped corner as the Spanish keeper carried it over the line to hand the visitors the lead in the 58th minute.
Millwall picked up a point last week, following their 3-2 defeat to Leeds, by holding Sheffield Wednesday to a goalless draw on the road. The hosts failed to make much of an impact in that latter matchup though and disappointingly finished the ninety minutes with just two measly shots on target.
Overall, Nimes have struggled to compete in all areas. They've not scored enough goals, notching only 12, which is the third-lowest total in the division, while they've also been weak at the back, shipping 24. Only two teams have conceded more than Bernard Blaquart's men.
City looked to be back to their old ruthless selves in sweeping aside Burnley on Tuesday, and they know that another win is imperative. In fact, a long sequence of wins is what City need to really apply some pressure to leaders Liverpool. Are Pep Guardiola's side capable of putting together a dozen or so wins in a row? Of course they are. No title has ever been won in December. VIEW FROM THE DUGOUTManchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "It's Man United; I respect what they've done for English football, European, and world football.
SouthamptonBoss Ralph Hasenhuttl held a news conference on Thursday and said: "We have to do everything possible to make sure that the virus is not spreading so quickly. This is the goal we all have. If it helps to play without supporters or anything else we have to do this and deal with it. This is the most important thing at the moment, and everything else is not so interesting. Former Southampton forward Manolo Gabbiadini, 28, has also tested positive for coronavirus, his current club Sampdoria have confirmed.

Derek McInnes' side has maintained a good home record since the start of the season, albeit it's not perfect, with Aberdeen losing once but winning 3 and drawing twice. None of the hosts' home games has ended goalless and they have scored an average of 1.83 goals and netting in 83% of fixtures. However, the Pittodrie side needs to work on their defence, as they've kept a clean sheet in just 33% of home ties and have let in an average of 1.33 goals. The Dons will also be without Scott Wright, Funso Ojo and Zak Vyner.

They have won three of their four Premier League matches since the former Manchester United and Chelsea boss took charge, only faltering on his return to Old Trafford last week. That being said, their wins have come against the likes of West Ham, Bournemouth and Burnley, all of whom aren’t on the same level as this Wolves side.
Bournemouth are the perfect opening opponents for Moyes, because the Cherries are performing just as badly as West Ham at the moment. They lost 2-0 to Brighton on Saturday to make it one win, one draw and seven defeats from their last nine top flight matches. This downturn in form has seen them plummet down the table, leaving them just a point above West Ham in 16th position.
A terrific bet to take into consideration here is both taking the guests to score 2+ goals in the first half and them to score 3+ goals in the entire game, as last season back in July when they played here they made it really early 2-0 for them than the hosts received a red card and the score by half-time was 5-0. But the hosts replied in 10 men in the second half scoring 3 times and lost just 6-3 in the end, a really high scoring game and one of the best games to teach children about football how it is supposed to be played from last season.

Jurgen Klopp's team rushes to the title at full speed, but to hang gold on the neck after a third of the championship - this does not happen. Stable victories over teams from the middle and basement of the table - this is what distinguishes the future champion. But the Crystal Palace team is dangerous. Such can always bite to the blood. Guests should not wait for an easy walk. The game will be held at Selhurst Park Stadium in London, the last meeting between these teams ended in Liverpool's victory at home 4: 3, I think today's home team are very angry at them, they didn’t have one goal to level the score, and the last defeats from Leicester and Chelsea will make them gather and not face the dirt, especially since Liverpool, having completed its task, will be at least slightly relaxed. I look forward to three or four goals from this game, I think 2: 2 will suit everyone.
Mourinho will enjoy the inevitable pictures of that embrace, knowing full well it will play well with some supporters who have greeted his arrival with suspicion after the departure of a manager held in so much affection and esteem in Pochettino. Mourinho has said he will not make the mistakes that scarred the end of his time with Chelsea and Manchester United, when discontent soured the air and he was a malign presence, so it was intriguing to hear his apology to Dier for that early substitution.

Many of the world’s top players began their careers at small clubs where even a few thousand dollars could be useful. However, FIFA has said that the system has until now not worked as it should and many small clubs in Latin America and Africa have missed out on valuable payments. This modernised system will encourage and reward the training efforts of clubs and, as payments will be automated via the new FIFA Clearing House, it will ensure that training compensation is actually paid, which is often currently not the case," said FIFA.
That poor defensive record has left the hosts with a string of high scoring matches this term. They’ve seen 86% of their home games this term finish with over 2.5 goals scored, while eight of their last nine in the league have seen at least three goals. Both sides are conceding too many – the Saints have shipped 2.29 per game this season – so we think over 2.5 goals is the best way to go in this one.
He'll be unpredictable to other teams, but we know what we're getting and he wants to make the most of the opportunity. We're learning all the time this season, but pace in the Premier League is key and Richairo is someone we think can kick us on. Meanwhile, Ravel Morrison may be leaving the club to join Championship strugglers Middlesbrough on a short-term deal. Former Manchester United youngster Morrison, has made four appearances for the Blades this term, after signing for them in July.
St Mirren comes into this game in high spirits after they completed a comeback and drew 3-3 at home to Livingston, pushing them a point further from the relegation zone. This latest result made it two games in a row without defeat- the Buddies beat Hamilton away the week before.
Zenit St Petersburg have signed defender Dejan Lovren from Liverpool for £10. The Croatia centre-back, 31, has joined the Russian club after playing in 10 Premier League games this season for champions Liverpool. Lovren, signed from Southampton for £20m in July 2014, also helped the Reds win the Champions League in 2019. He scored five goals in 131 league appearances for Liverpool but played just three times in 2020.
He said winding-up petitions were so HMRC could pursue clubs normally for unpaid NICs. It's not uncommon to do that in a small trader business because you tend to pay NICs at the end of the year," Dr Wilson said. Because HMRC are down the list of football creditors [if a club were to go into administration] they tend to pursue winding-up petitions to make sure HMRC is paid. They are also making a statement to football clubs and the industry to have a deterrent effect.
He will be sorely missed, but it gives opportunities to others as well now. We wish him a speedy recovery. McGinn broke his ankle inside the first 10 minutesGetty Images 14:00 - Ozil dropping a question for Freddie - Arteta Mikel Arteta has had his say on Mesut Ozil's axing from the Arsenal side after the German reacted angrily to being substituted against Manchester City on December 15.
The decision affects the two-legged Guangdong-Hong Kong Cup and Hong Kong-Macau Interport fixtures, both due to be played in January, the association said on its website. A decision has yet to be made on the annual Lunar New Year Cup, which is played in Hong Kong over the Chinese New Year. Unrest in Hong Kong since mid-2019 over Beijing's control of the former British colony has already forced the cancellation or postponement of international tennis, squash and golf events.
It's the final game of the main Serie B season and these two clubs have a lot to play for. They are both in the promotion play-off positions but only just. Frosinone are in terrible form, playing more like a side battling against relegation. Pisa are in better form but still struggling away from home. Keeping clean sheets isn't a strong point for either side, go for both teams to score in this match.
The one bright spot for Johnson was the return of on-loan Stoke City striker Benik Afobe, who started for the first time since August following a serious knee injury. The 27-year-old former Wolves forward lasted 63 minutes on his return and showed some nice touches, but at times also cut a frustrated figure having been asked to play out wide.
De Gea failed to hold Ismaila Sarr's shot on 50 minutes, fumbling it against the post and into the net. Four minutes later Sarr was in the thick of the action again, brought down in the area by Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a penalty, duly converted by the Hornets captain. United had had the best chance of a dull first half when Jesse Lingard was put through on goal, but he chipped over.
Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has extended his contract with the Bundelisga club until June 2023. Neuer has won seven German titles, five DFB Cups and the Champions League since joining the club from Schalke in 2011. The Bayern captain, 34, says he "feels at home in Bavaria" and is looking to the "future with great optimism". In the weeks of the lockdown, I didn't want to make a decision because nobody knew whether Bundesliga football would continue at all," he said.
He's not my friend but not my enemy either. Maybe I think a different way, but he's not my enemy. Everyone has their options to play football the way they want," Pellegrini added. Tottenham has a very good team with important players. You cannot know what has happened there but the results were not what they are used to having.

But our season will not be defined playing Manchester City and Liverpool. Their three scorers today cost more than our whole squad. Villa had high hopes of a respectable finish on their return to the top flight after a three-year absence last summer. The club spent £130m on 12 players to bolster Smith's squad but following season-ending knee injuries for first-choice striker Wesley and goalkeeper Tom Heaton on New Year's Day, are trying to find replacements who will ensure they don't experience a swift return back to the Championship.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he is wary of the threat that Manchester United will pose in Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. City dominated the first leg at Old Trafford on 7 January and will take a 3-1 lead into the encounter. However, United won the Premier League meeting between the sides 2-1 on 7 December. It's Manchester United. They can do it, they have done it," said Guardiola.
France youth international Diaby, who joined this season from Paris St Germain, scored his fourth goal of the campaign after Kai Havertz threaded a superb pass through the Augsburg defence for the 20-year-old. Amiri made it 2-0 with a solo run after being given far too much space and Havertz hit the post with the hosts in complete control.
The visitors are aiming to cap off a strong year, which has seen them push for the title and move top of the table. They fell just two points short of glory last season, but this term they are the clear force in the First Division. Brugge were able to challenge Real Madrid in the Champions League, before setting up their huge clash with Man United.
Clean sheets have been rare occurrences in general for Wolves when navigating game on their travels, and a record of just two clean sheets in eight away attempts this term suggests there is every chance Wanderers will concede again this weekend.
