He still has much to prove and Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will expect better as he tries to cement a season of improvement with a place in the top four and another season in the Champions League. This was a real disappointment for Chelsea, especially as the force appeared to be with them after William's second goal and they looked the most likely winners. But they were caught out by a lightning break that ended in Yarmolenko's goal and the chance to close even further on fading Leicester City and maintain the gap between themselves and in-form Manchester United was lost.
I'm not expecting them to dominate but we should compete and challenge. If we went with every first team player then maybe we have a better chance to win the game. But this is the right decision and it's going to be a great game of football. United's central defender Max Taylor is expected to play -- 12 months after the 19-year-old had chemotherapy for testicular cancer -- and Solskjaer said his comeback was a "fantastic story".
Last season, Everton were underdogs for both games but were one of the few sides who managed to match Liverpool and were unfortunate not to pick up more than a point. As former Reds defender Mark Lawrenson told BBC Sport: "This is a fixture that scares Liverpool fans. They know it is dangerous, because Everton will raise their game.
That was even more disappointing considering they had just played that team twice in the Belarus Cup and won on both occasions. They so nearly got a draw in that game though, losing to a 90th minute goal. Away league form was good last season with eight victories and only four defeats, though they only won one of their last four.
While most leagues in Europe hope to finish their domestic seasons once restrictions on movement and social contact are lifted, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said last week the season could be lost if play does not start by the end of June. If we don't succeed in restarting, the season will probably be lost," the Slovenian said. He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "There is a plan A, B and C.
Slavia Mozyr has won the first leg of this semifinal in the Belarus Cup by 1-0, so BATTE now needs a win by more than a goal here at home to reach the final. I think collecting a large win will be quite easy for BATE, which is one of the best teams in Belarus and has even conceded no goal in the last 3 official matches after 2 surprising losses in the first 2 games of this season. Slavia Mozyr has scored no goal in the last 4 games played here @BATE, even conceding 6 in the last 2 matches, so I will bet on a large win for the home team.
The FIFA president, speaking at a seminar in Rabat on the development of African football, complained that football in the region had not progressed as expected and that he wanted to "project African football to the top of the world.

Gillingham have scored almost double the amount at home that Portsmouth have on the road, while they've performed much better at the other end too, particularly of late, as they've kept three clean sheets in their last four at Priestfield. In contrast, Portsmouth have shipped an abundance of goals in recent away games, conceding four away at Accrington and three away at MK Dons. Such form should worry those fans travelling up from the south coast for Wednesday's fixture. The hosts have also performed better at home in terms of shots. They have an average shot supremacy of +4.75. Portsmouth's is +1.8 on the road.
English football faces "the danger of losing clubs and leagues" amid economic challenges "beyond the wildest imagination", says Football Association chairman Greg Clarke. The season has been halted indefinitely amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Some club have placed non-playing staff on temporary leave, while talks continue over the salaries of players. Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection," said Clarke.
I've told all my agents in Portugal, and also in my company in London: Don't call the clubs offering players," Fernandes added. Right now is not the moment, for all the reasons. Call clubs, maintain a good relationship with them, and with the players also, but try to understand how safe they are and if everybody is healthy. As for players, Fernandes and Marcelino have been trying to reassure those who are concerned about their future.

The 24-year-old's move from Lisbon last August came with two clauses allowing Albion to sign him permanently. One clause was that Pereira would become an Albion player long term if he started 20 Championship games and Slaven Bilic's men won promotion to the Premier League. The second was to start 30 league matches, with Pereira reaching that landmark on Albion's return to action after three and half months off because of the coronavirus pandemic.
MANCHESTER, England, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conceded his squad is "stretched" and made his strongest appeal yet for new signings to help his team after a miserable 2-0 home defeat to Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday.

The visiting team is underdog but for it will be able to not lose this game and that's why I'm going to try with an X2 as a bet for this game. The teams are Bahia and Atl MG and have started in Brazil for Serie A. The home team has 44 points and is in the middle of the standings. But he only has 3 more points than the guests and has not won any of the last 5 games played. The guests come from a defeat but have lost only this game of the last 5 plays and for this I am going to try this bet.

With both sides struggling, the game has been put down as an open one by the bookies. Preston will be coming here looking to strengthen their push for a playoff spot, but can the visitors improve on some poor away form in the New Year? In their first trip of 2020, Preston are likely to pick up where they left off.
However, Juve coach coach Maurizio Sarri believes his side are venturing into the unknown after such a long layoff. None of the staff at this moment knows where the preparation is because we come off an abnormal interruption," he said. This is a unique situation, which does not give us any certainty, also because we have obviously not played friendlies. I am satisfied with what I have seen during these days in training, but the response during a game will be different.
As such, we're more than happy to back Boca to to win the game with maximum confidence and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. Boca are unbeaten in 4 home games against Argentinos and in good form of late as hosts, we fancy them to claim a comfortable 2-0 win.

So how did the world of social media react? Plenty of praise for Messi, aka the 'best footballer on the planet', aka 'the GOAT':Despite some people not agreeing Messi was the worthy winner, sports journalist Thierry Nyann wanted to put the record straight.

The Leicester striker scored most of his 19 goals so far in the first half of the season, although he did net twice in the game immediately before the league was suspended. Could 2018-19's joint top-scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang or regular-challenger Sergio Aguero replicate their start-of-season form to steal the honour from Vardy?Another man to watch is Mohamed Salah, who matched Aubameyang's tally of 22 last season, was outright top-scorer with 32 in 2017-18 and was on a run of 10 goals in 14 games before the league was halted.
