Wales international Gareth Bale, left out of the Real Madrid squad again for this weekend, was also rumoured to be a possible Spurs target but stays with the Spanish club. Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, who had been linked with Chelsea and David Beckham's new Major League Soccer club Inter Miami also ended the day staying put at Paris St Germain.
Hatta will play against Al Khaleej in the Arabian Gulf league match. Hatta have lost 4 of their last 5 matches and is in very bad shape right now. They are sitting on second bottom of the table and have 8 points in their name. They have lost 4 straight matches.
He bought the ground back himself and relieved Leeds of a punitive rent. It made supporters feel their club was coming back to them. It took a while for things to settle. After Monk's departure, the Thomas Christiansen experiment that started so well self-combusted. Heckingbottom came and went in a season sandwiched by the controversies around a new badge design and a post-season trip to Myanmar. A mid-table finish was 15 points less than the previous campaign.
Others reacted against Cruyff’s tenets. Mourinho, overlooked in favour of Guardiola for the Barcelona job in 2008, seems to have determined to turn himself into the anti-Barcelona. At Porto, he had pressed in the way Cruyff taught but later he came to insist that big games were best won without the ball, by waiting for the opposition to make a mistake.
Liverpool will be glad they are away from home in the first leg of this Champions League last sixteen tie. Atletico will not need reminding what happened to Barcelona last season in this competition and may dread a second leg at Anfield. Liverpool are in good form of course but the big wins aren't coming, more a case of continually finding a way to get a win. Atletico aren't consistent but never that easy to beat or score lots of goals against. A bet on under 2.5 goals in this is the one to make.
DORTMUND POWER Borussia Dortmund have rediscovered their scoring power, having netted 15 times in their three games since the Bundesliga restart in January. The addition of Norwegian teenager Erling Haaland has already provided healthy returns, with title hopes revived as the 19-year-old forward scored twice in their 5-0 demolition of Union Berlin to take his goal tally to seven in three games.
The case now moves to CAS. City hope for a swift outcome but not at the expense of a thorough examination of the facts. Even without the threat of further legal avenues being explored, it means there is no guarantee a conclusion will be arrived at before the clubs competing in next season's Champions League are confirmed, so City could be amongst them. As far as Europe is concerned, the only certainty at this stage is that Real Madrid will be coming over for the last-16 second-leg encounter on 17 March.

Arconada added: "Their budget is much bigger than everyone else's and the federation must decide if they want them to humiliate the other teams like this. Barca coach Lluis Cortes responded by defending the club's right to plough money into the women's game. Each club invests in women's football as much as they want to and the percentage in relation to the spending on the men's team is very small," he said.
Brescia are better than their league position suggests and we wouldn't be surprised to see them giving Inter a scare. Ultimately, we see the home side overcoming their challenge and getting the win. Back Inter and over 2.5 goals.
COMING UP All hail the Europa League. You could, if you wanted, watch Arsenal attempt to defend a slim lead against Olympiakos, or Manchester United try to edge ahead of Club Brugge. But really, you should be watching Ajax vs. Getafe: the first leg was snide, bad tempered, and extremely funny. And Ajax are two goals down.
The result left Monaco, who would have been within three points of third place in Ligue 1 if they had won, in ninth place on 40 points from 28 games. Nice climbed up to sixth on 41 points, behind Stade Reims, who beat Brest 1-0, on goal difference. Leaders Paris St Germain's trip to RC Strasbourg on Saturday was postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Best finish: Winner (2008, 2012)What a defender. Ruthless. Started out as a right-back in the 2008 victory and won it again four years later in the centre of the back four. Scored in the 2012 semi-final shootout with a Panenka. Naturally. Frank Rijkaard (Netherlands) - 9 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 1988, 1992. Best finish: winner (1988)As versatile as he was classy, Rijkaard could play at centre-back and also featured as a wing-back and in central midfield in 1992.
The quality and commitment of the squad and coaching staff, led by Diego, cannot be questioned and I have no doubt they will achieve the club's objectives this season and help us grow over the next few years. Atletico midfielder Saul Niguez gave a scathing assessment of the team's predicament after Thursday's chastening defeat.
Welsh midfielder Sophie Ingle grabbed a third with a 19th-minute left-footed half-volley and Norwegian Guro Reiten made it 4-0 midway through the second half with a header before Beth Mead scored a 74th-minute consolation goal for the Gunners. It was the first time since May 2013, against Liverpool, that Arsenal had conceded three goals or more at home.
They have won two and drawn one in their last three matches and the momentum is there, though with Real Madrid’s ambitions, they know this is going to be tough. Granada started well when the league resumed, beating Getafe, but thereafter went on a four match winless run and their current run of three unbeaten matches should give them the needed motivation for the remaining three games.
Two days later I was in hospital suffering from heart failure. To this day I always change the channel when I hear Martin Tyler's commentary. Rufas Hunja: "Leicester winning the EPL was unbelievable! Aguero's goal against QPR was like a scene from a movie. Liverpool defied logic to knock out Barcelona in what a majority of football fans thought was an impossible attempt!"Francesca Gunn: "What to choose? Manchester United's comeback against City, from 2-0 down to win 3-2, or coming back from 2-0 down in the first leg and beating Paris St-Germain at the last second with a penalty.
While one ever-so-slightly more meaningful wait appears to be over for Liverpool, this particular one is set to clock at least 68 years. It was, however, a significantly better day for Crystal Palace, who became the first side to win on a leap year day in Premier League history. A 1-0 victory at Brighton in Saturday's early kick-off was, granted, just the third game to be played in the competition on 29 February - but after games between Leeds and Liverpool (2-2) and Portsmouth and Newcastle (1-1) ended level in 2004, the Eagles seized their chance.
Lecce's players have been dribbled past by an opponent more often than any other side in Serie A in 2019/20 (156 times), whilst only AC Milan (155) and AS Roma (149) have made more dribbles than Fiorentina (146). That’s obviously been helped by the impact of Franck Ribery on a talented, young Fiorentina squad. Expect them to get plenty of joy going forward this weekend.
Shenkolli played a goalless draw at the weekend, so their "over" streak were end. The teams matches bring a high score often, both side run a good period. The home team are in the third place with strong home record, they received the most goals in the league. They have no top goalscorer, but Gjata, Mihana and Omeri scored 4 times. The guest team avoid the last position because they are running an unbeaten streak, so could catch Elbasani and Cerrik.
Football in the English Championship, similar to the premier league, where Round of 26 offers a match between Swansea city and Charlton Athletic. Swansea knows most of the previous seasons of the Premier League, but the team has had a hard time finding their way back this season and is number 10 with 38 points and 2 points outside the top 6 and playoff spot, and they are only 12 points behind from the top spot. Charlton sit on the 19th spot and has been awful with 28 points and has collected only 1 point in the last 5 away games.
Jena and Bayern II will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Jena this season have the following results: 4W, 7D and 24L. Meanwhile Bayern II have 18W, 7D and 10L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
He was especially criticised for being fit for Wales' pivotal Euro 2020 qualifier with Hungary after missing seven weeks for Madrid through injury. Wales fans have turned the mantra 'Wales. Golf. Madrid' into a chant, with Bale himself admitting he found the song amusing and, after securing qualification with a win over Hungary, Bale was front and centre as the squad paraded a banner echoing that sentiment.
Werder Bremen is in grave danger. They have little time and few matches to save the season. They are sitting on the 17th spot in the table. They are 8 points behind the safe zone. Match against Leverkusen will be the toughest test for them as the Leverkusen side hold an amazing away record. Bremen have not won in their last 6 matches and I think after the break they will play good and will be more motivated. They have lost their last 6 home matches and I don't see them coming back in form.
The team has scored in each of the last four, and in the last three they have scored two or more goals. That scoring form will come under a real test from Real Madrid, the team with the best defence in the league. The hosts have the second least goal difference among the teams in the top 10 (+3) and having conceded two goals in each of their last two matches, they will need to tighten up against Real.
They were never given a moment's peace by a St Mirren side full of endeavour but the gulf of quality proved telling. The Paisley club have gone just shy of a decade since their last league win over Celtic, and even a goal had proved beyond them in the sides' last five meetings until MacPherson's deflected free-kick sailed past Fraser Forster to end that trend.
Curiousity is probably the other, wondering how a big club’s youth team stacks up against the gritty and hairy men of League One. When you are playing against men who are fully matured and developed physically they have an advantage,” said Neil Critchley, the man standing in for Klopp who will apparently be watching the game on his laptop and might text in if he has any advice for the kids.
The match opened up a little after that, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen making one decent save and one superb one in the space of a few minutes. At the other end, an otherwise subdued Lionel Messi was denied a classic solo goal by a vital tackle from Kostas Manolas. Arturo Vidal was sent off with a few minutes remaining, having received two yellow cards in the same incident.
The Foxes are well placed to qualify for the Champions League while they are two wins from reaching the FA Cup final for the first time since 1969, when they lost 1-0 to Manchester City. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Leicester City 1-0 Birmingham City highlights Key stat: Leicester City are looking to reach the FA Cup semi-final for the first time since the 1981-82 campaign - they have been eliminated in four FA Cup quarter-finals since then.
It's all got a bit too much," Real coach Zidane told a news conference. I'm just looking at what he can give us on the pitch, not what's said off it, that doesn't interest me. I believe he can become a decisive player for us again. He's an important player when he is injury free; he's shown that before and he will show it again.
Spurs are looking to win three league matches in a row for the first time since Jose Mourinho took charge in November. Arsenal v Newcastle United (1630) *Arsenal, 10th, have drawn their last four league matches to fall 10 points adrift of the fourth and final Champions League spot currently held by Chelsea.
Chelsea's grip on fourth place suddenly looks a little less tight as they suffered a first home defeat by West Ham United for seven years, Aaron Cresswell's goal sealing a 1-0 win for the Hammers who had lost five of their last six games. Frank Lampard's side have 26 points, six ahead of Jose Mourinho's resurgent Tottenham Hotspur who claimed successive league wins for the first time since April as they beat Bournemouth 3-2 with Dele Alli twice on the scoresheet.
AZ average 2.29 points per home game while VVV average 0.43 points per away game, making a win for the hosts look like the obvious result this weekend. AZ have won 71% of their home games and VVV have lost 86% of their away games, with the hosts scoring an average of 2.71 goals per home game and conceding an average of 0.71 goals and VVV scoring an average of 0.86 goals per away game and conceding an average of 3.00 goals.
Brentford shouldn't be in this position, they should have clinched automatic promotion ahead of West Bromwich Albion. However, the team that had won eight games in a row lost the last two and then the play-off first leg. They now have to turn their season around or it'll be another season in the Championship for them.
