Matches between Bilbao and Madrid have a tendency to be low-scoring and tightly contested. Given Bilbao's home form and Madrid's defensive strength, it seems likely for this game to follow that pattern. Back under 2.5 goals.
The reality is vastly different though. Both Aston Villa and Norwich find themselves in the relegation zone, while Sheffield United are flying high in 5th position. However, we’re only halfway through the season and there is plenty that could change in the coming months.
City improved thereafter and on 29 minutes drew level, Kevin de Bruyne's poise worked a shooting angle before the ball clipped Kurt Zouma, leaving Kepa Arrizabalaga stranded. And seven minutes later, the champions went in front, Riyad Mahrez foxing Emerson Palmieri to drive a shot past Kepa. The second half was a lot less fun, City dominating the ball without creating much until Raheem Sterling thought he'd scored in injury-time, only for VAR to rule that his breath was offside.
It was like where everything you have worked hard for has paid off. But, at the same time, it is just the start," said Singh. Bayern accept that he is "unique" in that he is the rarity of a South Asian at such a high-profile team and the club's academy manager, Jochen Sauer, says their decision to sign him was entirely "a sporting one". We recognised with our scouting department that he's a very talented football player," added Sauer.
Despite all of Chelsea's endeavour, it was Newcastle that created the game's other best chance when Joelinton crashed a header against the crossbar. With the £40m summer singing breaking a 20-game goal drought by scoring against Rochdale, Saint-Maximin offering trickery on the wing after a hamstring injury and Miguel Almiron scoring in three of the last four games, Bruce may feel his luck is turning.
Middlesbrough moved out of the Championship relegation zone after two second-half goals gave Neil Warnock's side victory at play-off hopefuls Millwall. Ashley Fletcher raced away from the Lions defence and teed up Britt Assombalonga for a tap-in to open the scoring midway through the second period. The hosts claimed a foul in the build-up, arguing Fletcher had tripped centre-back Jake Cooper while chasing a ball forward, but referee Tim Robinson waved play on.
Persela won their previous meeting in the competition for the recent season, and there were no difference at the league table, between rivals, except few points for the host. Glamorgan will try to get good start of the league, since they have renew the lineup and bring some good additions to the squad.
That does not stand for Gladbach and it goes against all the values of the club. Borussia Dortmund fans were banned last week by the German Football Association (DFB) from travelling to Hoffenheim for the next two seasons, and fined 50,000 euros over repeated similar offences targeting billionaire Hopp.
I don't think they are done yet, though. Chris Wilder seems to be the type of manager to say 'we have had a great start, but now we need to finish it off'. He will keep demanding more from his players, so I don't see them tailing off - why should they?"We know now how well organised they are, and how strong they are at the back. They have one of the best defences in the Premier League and they create chances as well, so I would expect them to accumulate plenty more points before the end of the season.
West Ham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine Premier League games. Three of the last five Premier League games that Wolves have played ended goalless.

Alexander Zverev hasn't dropped set in this tournament. Alexander Zverev has won his two previous meetings against Stan Wawrinka. Stan Wawrinka has dropped five sets so far in this tournament. Could this finally be the week when Alexander Zverev reaches a Grand Slam semi-final? The German is the seventh seed but only at the French Open has he made it to the last eight in a Grand Slam until this week.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will have to start with his first-choice front three - Mohamed Salah, plus Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, who both started on the bench against Monterrey on Wednesday evening. Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Monterrey 1-2 Liverpool I am presuming that Virgin van Dijk, who missed that semi-final with illness, will have recovered by then. Liverpool will need him.
In contrast to Cologne, Wolfsburg have seen their form dip in recent weeks. Die Wölfe have won just one of their last five Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, they have lost three of their last five Bundesliga fixtures.
He did well. I don't want to judge individual performances. He tried to do his best - sometimes it was good and sometimes he could do better, but this is the life of the goalkeeper," said the Italian. De Gea was sharp for the rest of the game and kept out a Gylfi Sigurdsson effort just before the controversial disallowed Everton effort in stoppage time.
Quang Nam will play against Viettel / The Kong in the V League 1 of South Korea on Monday. Quang Nam Defeted Thanh Hoa by 2-1 in the first game of the season at home.

In an enthralling tie, former Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini put United ahead from close range before Lukaku missed the opportunity to equalise.

After beating leader and one of the best league teams 2:1 in the previous round, Famalicao should be able to make another good performance in this one and pick up for the three points against Gil. They scored twice against Porto, as one of the main title challenger, and now should attack host, which is entering this one, after loss in Portimonense.
Crystal Palace are 12th in the table, while Watford climbed to 17th after their 3-0 home win over Liverpool. Crystal Palace are now nine points above the relegation zone and only six points behind fifth place. Qualification for the Europa League isn't out of the question after two straight wins. They had lost three in a row before wins over Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion.
PSG have won four of their last five clashes with Nantes and with them in such fine form at the Parc des Princes, we're backing the hosts to continue that here. Nantes have failed to score in two of their last three away games and with each of Paris' last three wins over the Canaries coming with a clean sheet, we think that'll be the case again here.
They have only won one of their last six games in all competitions and were recently knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third division Cultural Leonesa.

Atletico will be missing key personnel against Liverpool such as record signing Joao Felix and Kieran Trippier, while striker Diego Costa is battling to be fit in time for Tuesday's game after a back injury he sustained in November.
We are also looking into how we can support our casual workers. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, 37, was the first Premier League manager to test positive for coronavirus. The club's training grounds have now reopened with a small workforce to maintain the facilities and pitches. Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Olympiakos - the Greek side who played Arsenal in the Europa League in February - announced he had coronavirus on 10 March.
SKODA Xanthi is playing in a bad shape right now. The home team only got 30 points over 26 rounds. They are currently ranked 10th on the chart. In total, they brought only 8 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses. In the last 10 matches, they did not win any. They only brought 5 draws and 5 losses. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.

Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli earlier this month, despite guiding them into the knockout stages of this season's Champions League. It is true I managed top clubs," he said, "At Paris St-Germain the project was really good. I think here is the same. I went to the training ground yesterday. It is fantastic. The fact the club wants to build a stadium means they have a clear idea of how they want success.
That was the first topic discussed when Hakimi spoke to me for a quick Q&A. What inspired your protest? I'm from Africa, my father is from Africa. I'm a little bit a black guy. I spoke with Sancho before the Paderborn game; he wrote 'Justice for George Floyd' on my T-shirt and said: "You need to score and take the T-shirt up to show the people. We both did it. It was great to be one of the players to do this thing to show the people.
The decision about his contract has come about because of coronavirus and its impact on the women's football calendar. Idealy, the FA wants someone to take the side through the Tokyo Olympics - where the manager will lead a Great Britain team - the Euros and the 2023 World Cup so that there is continuity. But that means Neville would need to commit until 2023 and, the Olympics aside, he faces a further two years of friendly matches with England because of their host status for the European Championship.
A club like Inter must also have a strong substitutes' bench," said Conte, whose side stayed three points behind leaders Juventus as they bid to end the Turin side's run of eight consecutive titles. When you have more quality within the squad, it allows you to find more solutions. Playing away to teams such as Udinese was exactly the sort of match in which he needed more options, Conte added.
He mentions the great analogy Crouchy once gave of buffalo and gazelle defenders, and he wanted to know which one he was and what his strike partners would be: a buffalo or gazelle? Crouch: Someone rapid upfront with me usually works quite well. I'd be the buffalo to his gazelle. Or, for want of another analogy, I think a donkey to a fox, something like that. Donkeys have been falsely labelled, they work hard, they constantly pull their weight, put a shift in and get results.

Both of them consistently says things that make you think. At a time where their rivals across Stanley Park are storming to an inevitable title, Ancelotti's leadership has already provided a galvanising effect at Everton. Carlo's calming touchPart of Ancelotti's charm comes from combining a human touch with a hunger for improvement. Having won Champions League titles with AC Milan and Real Madrid, he dismissed questions this week that he is merely a manager who adds the missing piece to a star-studded team, recalling his time at Parma in the early stages of his career.
I would call it a game between two outsiders for the league title. That is a perfect definition. Inter fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Napoli in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg on Wednesday, prompting calls for Conte to hand January signing Christian Eriksen a starting spot this weekend. The Denmark midfielder, who joined the Italian club from Tottenham Hotspur for a reported 20 million euros last month, has been selected from the start in just one of his four appearances for Inter so far, a 2-0 win over Udinese on Feb 2.
These teams have a good recent history of seeing 4 or 5 goals scored against each other in their matches and this could be another high scoring match. Both teams have scored a few times as well which only increases the chances for another high scoring match up between the 2 teams. This match might open up with the home team recently being in bad form and losing a lot of matches, they have actually made their self much more easier to score against in recent matches where other teams are now starting to take advantage of them in their matches

Especially for a forward who was previously being touted for around half the price. Lyon's president Jean-Michel Aulas is a notoriously tough negotiator, but his asking price in January seems more like a plan to keep his star forward at the club for the remainder of the season. The Express reveal that Dembele is "strongly interested in playing for Manchester United" which means that they could still hold hope for a summer deal.
The initial free kick was half-cleared but McGinn clipped in a cross that was met by a prodigious leap and emphatic header from a towering Cosgrove. That did little to stymie Celtic's incessant pressure and they felt they should have had a penalty for James Wilson's last-ditch tackle on Edouard, but referee Euan Anderson was unmoved. Waves and waves of Celtic attacks continued to yield nothing though, with Lewis dealing with shots - mainly from distance - from James Forrest, Callum McGregor, Mikey Johnston and Christie.
