Ed Woodward and his team have been criticised in the past for his transfer dealings, but being pipped to a really exciting transfer by your bitter rivals is a new low for club's executive vice-chairman. Minamino is another Salzburg star who has excelled in this season's Champions League campaign and he seems like the perfect fit for Jurgen Klopp's playing style.
After their industrious and impressive end to the first half, it would have given them a deserved lead. As it stands, Oxlade-Chamberlain’s goal changed the entire match.

Borussia Dortmund have good home form this season and are yet to lose a game. They have beaten Inter and drawn with Barcelona at home in this group and could well need to win this game against Slavia. They beat their opponents in the reverse fixture in this group and their opponents are already confrmed to finish bottom. Go for a home win in this game but even that might not be enough for Dortmund.

We want to win and early on you could see our confidence wasn't where it has been. The only way you regain that confidence is hard work and these players have been brilliant. Tonight the intensity was there and we didn't give away too much. Dean Smith's Villa remain in the relegation zone after a fourth consecutive league defeat, and a fifth in all competitions. Individual mistakes are costing us. We need to get better at it.

Silva has scored 60 Premier League goals since joining City from Valencia in 2010, winning the FA Cup twice and the EFL Cup five times. He hopes to end his time with the club in the best way possible, by winning the Champions League in Lisbon in August. Asked what advice he would have offered himself on joining City if he knew what he knows now, Silva said: "I would tell him to do things in the same way I have.
I'm going to take my time deciding," he said. I'm enjoying the family side of things, even if it does mean I'm a taxi service. Hutton told BBC Scotland in September he had turned down offers from English Championship clubs and felt capable of playing "for a few more years". But the 'Scottish Cafu' has now called time on a 17-year playing career that began with Rangers in 2002. He won the league title with the Ibrox club in 2005 and joined Spurs three years later for £9m, which remains the Glasgow club's record sale.
Ianis Hagi replaces Ryan Jack. Storms and flooding have played havoc with the sporting schedule throughout February, with another four English Football League games lost to the weather on the very final day of the month too. But, despite that, there was still plenty of action for fans to get their teeth stuck into on Saturday, with 11 fixtures in the Championship and a further 17 across League One and League Two.
Klopp said the way they recovered from the setback illustrated the mentality of his side. Today is an example: we have to fight hard. We are not geniuses, but we can really fight until the end of the season, and then we'll see what we get for it," he said. With a 25-point gap restored at the top of the table, Liverpool's title will be sealed with just three more wins.
Both keepers partially redeemed themselves with good stops in the closing moments, Pickford stretching to push away Fernandes' effort then scrambling across his box to block Odion Ighalo's rebound, while De Gea's block with his right leg of Sigurdsson's strike from point blank range immediately preceded the late drama.
Will Manchester City's Champions League ban be the catalyst for Pep Guardiola to end his tenure at the Etihad Stadium? On the (far from guaranteed) proviso that City do not overturn this ban on appeal, the repercussions of the two-year exile are potentially enormous. Will they be able to attract the top players needed to compete with Jurgen Klopp's juggernaut of a Liverpool side? Will players seek to leave to win the biggest trophy in European competition? By far the biggest uncertainty surrounds their manager though.
Chelsea's 2-1 come-from-behind win at their London rivals kept them fourth in the table despite their struggles against the Premier League's lesser lights in recent weeks. Lampard's men lost to West Ham United, Everton and Bournemouth before outclassing Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur, then were beaten by struggling Southampton before their stunning late comeback against Arsenal.
We feel that this fixture is likely to deliver plenty of goals at both ends. Werder Bremen have struggled to find positive results in recent weeks. However, if nothing else, Die Werderaner have been one of the most entertaining sides to watch in the Bundesliga this season.
Danny Ings continued his good goalscoring season as Southampton drew at Everton in an entertaining mid-table Premier League match. Saints had the better chances and captain James Ward-Prowse fired a penalty against the crossbar after he was fouled by Andre Gomes. Ings opened the scoring with a clever finish after latching on to a misplaced shot from Stuart Armstrong - who had earlier had a goal disallowed for offside.
Fenix will host Los Andes for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Yeah, Los Andes are favorites in this game. However, this will be a very unpredictable league. Also, Los Andes have big fluctuations. In previous game Los Andes lost 0-1 against UAI Urquiza. Also, we have Fenix who's is worst team in this campaign. Of course, the hosts have a very difficult task in this season. Hosts have very poor results. They have four consecutive losses. In any case, they want at all costs to stay in League. I expect, Fenix will try to provide a strong resistance.
Every player in the world wants to play Champions League and if you talk about having this option on the table, players are much more open to join or renew their contract. Arsenal were knocked out of the second-tier Europa League in the round of 32 last week by Olympiakos Piraeus. They are 10th in the Premier League and face a stiff task to finish inside the top four and ensure automatic Champions League qualification.
Atalanta still have a lot to play for this season. They could finish second in Serie A and then head to Portugal for the Champions League last eight tournament. They are unbeaten in 14 league games and have had six straight home league victories. Bologna have little to play for and were thumped 5-1 at AC Milan on Saturday. Go for a home win here with Atalanta ahead at both half and full time.
Huddersfield started the season with 4 defeats in the first 4 home games but have a 4-4-1 record in the last 9 home games. The only defeat was against the league leaders Leeds United. Huddersfield are in good form in the last weeks with 3 wins in the last 5.
Everton's form has slipped of late with only three points from their last five league games. They host Liverpool who have shown improvement of late and finally won a league game in their last fixture. They may be one from bottom but all 12 league games played this season have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. It's well worth a bet on that stat coming up again this weekend.
Real Madrid will wonder how they didn’t take three points from this one. Karim BenzemaGetty Images TALKING POINT Real Madrid’s over-reliance on Karim Benzema has been exposed recently.

Prior to the government proposal, seven successive weekends of Football League fixtures had been lost to the weather, leaving a lot of games to get through and precious little time.

Norwich City will host Southampton for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match. Of course, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. However, Southampton have a poor results in the last matches. They have 4 losses in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Norwich who's is worst team in this campaign. However, the hosts want to stay at all costs in the league. They have nothing to lose.

Rangers initially continued where they left off in Edinburgh, with Jermain Defoe having an effort deflected wide and Nikola Katic firing past the post within the opening minutes.

I looked at the stand opposite me at one point in the match and I was really overwhelmed. It's really quite beautiful to see so many people" Tagawa told Fifa's official website.

There is no selfishness whatsoever but only sharing and a collective spirit, it's the mantra of the fans," said Tagawa.

ZURICH, March 11 (Reuters) - The policy of playing soccer matches without spectators as a way of keeping the show on the road during the coronavirus outbreak has been widely questioned on health grounds and because of the surreal atmosphere it creates in empty stadiums. The next round of games in the top flight of the French, Spanish and Portuguese leagues will be played without fans as will some Bundesliga matches.
In 2011, the Scot returned to the club in a coaching role with the academy before working his way up to the first team where he has been part of the backroom staff under several managers. Osman, an old team-mate of Ferguson, says even though he does not expect the 47-year-old former striker to be given the job permanently, a good performance against Chelsea could give the Toffees hierarchy some breathing space as they consider their next move.
They will be on probation for the rest of the season. Taison and fellow Brazilian Dentinho were targeted by racist abuse during the match on 10 November. Dynamo fans were twice warned about their behaviour. Video on social media shows both Brazilians in tears. It's terrible when such things happen in football," said Shakhtar midfielder Marcos Antonio after the match. The game needs real fans instead of the people who come to the stadium and behave like that, not respecting the athletes.

They've called for the suspension of Doncaster and SPFL legal adviser Rod McKenzie. Dave Cormack, the Aberdeen chairman, has also been critical of the SPFL. Hearts owner Ann Budge has threatened that she may sue the league. Scot Gardiner, the Inverness Caledonian Thistle chief executive, has called out the board in the most emphatic way. Partick Thistle brought in a senior counsel and a junior counsel to examine the SPFL's articles and concluded that "court action can be commenced" if the resolution was pushed through, which it now has been.
They won the second leg 4-3. I think there was a lot of misinformation at the beginning and we all took it very lightly. We thought it was just another flu, a virus like any that comes around in the winter, so we kept on living a normal life," Gomez said. The other day, the military came to take the crates with the dead and cremate them somewhere else because there's no more room in the cemeteries here.
The result firmed up Sevilla's position in the top four, and they head into Matchday 19 five points behind leaders Barcelona and just three points behind 2nd placed Real Madrid. With a crucial fixture upcoming against Los Blancos at the Bernabeu later in January, Los Palanganas will feel they are only a couple of results away from getting right back into contention, although qualification for the Champions League remains the main aim for Julen Lopetegui's side this term.
British finance minister Rishi Sunak announced earlier this month that furloughed workers can claim 80% of their wages up to 2,500 pounds ($3,081) per month as part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, who owns a controlling stake in the club, has not always been popular with fans, thousands of whom skipped matches this season to protest his ownership.
So how do we keep players positive and focused?, he said. Some have switched off because they think the season's going to end. Others think 'we're just going to be playing the season out' (if it resumes) or 'we're not going to win anything anyway'. At the moment my role's more about psychology than fitness," he said. Players like routine and having an end game. Now they're stuck at home and don't know what's happening.
