Liverpool are 23 points clear of second-placed Manchester City, whom they face at Etihad Stadium at 20:15 BST on Thursday. City will be strong next season, [Manchester] United will be strong next season, Chelsea will be strong," Klopp said. It's obvious City is an outstanding team, United is in outstanding shape and Chelsea is in a really good shape and doing some interesting business. City will give Liverpool players a guard of honour before the match.
Plenty on Twitter saying that's Van Dijk's nephew next to him but I'm not too clued up on VVD's extending family. Messi's pride Morning. Welcome back to our rolling coverage of football news. Where to begin? Well let's here from a certain Lionel Messi, who picked up a record-breaking sixth Ballon d'Or last night.
Sergino Dest has left Ajax Amsterdam’s training camp in Qatar and returned to the Netherlands over safety concerns as political tension in the region remained high, the club said on Thursday. The decision of Dutch-born Dest follows a similar move by the U. S national team to cancel a planned training camp in Qatar following an American air strike at Baghdad airport last week that killed a top Iranian general and has caused unrest in the Middle East.

And finally a game in Bundesliga im which I can not expect a lot of goals cause we have two worst offensive teams in the league and even 0 0 is not going to be a surprise result at the end and also draw is somehow looking like a very realistic result cause cologne is fight Hung to stay above relegation zone and they Will be happy with a point and Wolfsburg is on the middle with not so good results on the road but I m afraid of some team winning the match with 1 0 so I decide to go with this bet
Belarus. Here I would like to take Dynamo ITB first, since I think that they will win, but I would have to take already 1.5 and here the total 2 kef is not bad, in principle, Dynamo itself can score three, but they can also get from Gorodeya, that's all the Dynamo season didn’t start confidently with two defeats, but in the last round all the same they defeated Torpedo’s home, but there is a question for the Torpedo who started very quickly and needed to be cooled, so there’s a little lack of confidence in Dynamo, Dynamo scored more but missed also, teams after 3 rounds of three points, which is clearly small for the Dynamo and should have to win and of course to score but they play away is not very cannot defeat in official matches already seven in a row and miss a lot, so that the city will have a chance to score and we'll see here totals up!
These two clubs have only met eight times before and Crawley have only lost two of those encounters and head into Saturday’s match unbeaten in their last five league games after beating Bradford 2-1 at home, while Walsall lost 3-1 away at Cheltenham in their last outing.
They are fourth in the table and that's four places above their opponents, but only two points clear. The home side's season couldn't have started much worse. They lost their first two games of the season to Vibetsk and Shakhtyor without getting on the scoresheet. Gorodeja have certainly turned their season around though with three wins on the bounce.
This should be one casual match for both of the teams. They don't have a chance for promotion while also don't have to worry about relegation so they can play without pressure and burden. Both of the teams are doing well this season and are going to finish around 9th place which is huge success for them without any doubt. They are both in a good shape but as I said I don't think we are going to see a good match. The matches between this two are usually difficult and tight and not interesting and I expect that same scenario to happen tonight.

When you've been out for such a while it's always going to take time until you're 100%. He wasn't ready (to face Burnley) because he's not really done too many games and he's had two in a few days and he just needed another day's recovery. United midfielder Scott McTominay damaged knee ligaments in the win over Newcastle and Solskjaer said the 23-year-old could be out of action for about a month.
Both teams are coming off single goal matches they were both not looking very attacking in their match before Christmas and also held up a good defense in their matches. The chances seen for both teams looked very low and the shots on goals looked to be further out not many were scored from close to the goals. The match could be played the exact same way with both teams using nearly the same tactics in their last matches before Christmas. With a lot to play for there is a good chance this would be all about defending in this match
Video - Man Utd working hard to get 'ill' Pogba match-fit00:33 16:50 - Toure: Ozil 'wrong to speak out' over Uighur issue in China Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure told SNTV that his fellow Muslim believer Mesut Ozil "was wrong" to speak out over the persecution of the Uighur community in China.
He spent four years with City - making exactly zero appearances. Lee Grant, now 37, has played twice for Manchester United since his £1. Stoke 18 months ago. We will end with Ross Turnbull, whose clubs read Middlesbrough, Darlington, Barnsley, Bradford, Barnsley again, Crewe, Cardiff, Chelsea, Doncaster, Barnsley AGAIN and Leeds. Turnbull won a Champions League medal. Spoiler alert - it wasn't for Crewe.
However, according to the Daily Mirror, Barca director of football Eric Abidal remains a big fan of his fellow countryman. Paper Round’s view: Ndombele has not had the best start to life at Tottenham, but surely he will be given time to show his quality. Heung-min Son was also linked with a move away from Spurs after struggling to impress early on, now he is one of the first names on the team sheet, while Moussa Sissoko has raised his level after a tough start.
Pre-season prediction: 10thWhat I said in August: "You can bracket the Hammers with those clubs who might fancy breaking into the top six if they get the wind in their sails. Wolverhampton Wanderers - 7thAnother excellent season for Wolves, which may yet end in Europa League qualification via the league if Chelsea win the FA Cup. It may be even better than that, as they are still in this season's Europa League.
He's a keeper that's striving to be better, as he should do at his age and the status he has -- Chelsea's number one, big price tag, Spain's number one and competing with another great goalkeeper (David De Gea). He'll want to get better all the time, and there have been a few incidents this season where he'll be the first to say he can do better.
Freiburg have been a surprise contender for the Bundesliga's European qualification places throughout the start of the season. Their early season form has put them in a favourable position going into the Bundesliga's winter break.
A match in which the leader and the bottom table team will finally try to play a good match. After a few weak performances of Duisburg, the advantage over the teams behind them is slim. Guests have been playing very well lately. It is true that they have won only three times on away trips but with their current form they will be able to surprise. The weak phase of Duisburg continues. Even after the Corona break, Duisburg are not on the winning track and have been winless for 2 games. During the mid-week, I´MSV drew 1-1 against Carl Zeiss Jena. Chemnitz was in good shape, but on the last match-day the team lost the game against Grossaspach 0-1.
Roma and Juventus will face each other in the upcoming match in the Serie A. Roma this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 3L. Meanwhile Juventus have 14W, 3D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Yet, United won. They won, in this observer's opinion, because they had belief. A belief instilled by a manager who had instilled a siege mentality. United against the world. It worked. At Tottenham, Mourinho has instilled a blame mentality; blame anything but the processes he has instilled the club.

Posted at 82' Attempt saved. Marcus Tavernier (Middlesbrough) left footed shot from outside the box is saved in the bottom right corner.
The hosts are our confident selection for the three points this Saturday and we're also going for a 2-0 correct score. Granada have kept five clean sheets from eight matches at Los Carmenes this term, of which six have produced fewer than 2.5 goals in total. With Levante conceding an average of exactly two goals per game on their travels this season, there is plenty to suggest that 2-0 is the right call.
the Cardiff MU fc team and the team Caernarfon Town fc team, met in Wales Premier League. The Cardiff MU fc team is in 7th Position with 28 points Collected. While guest team the team Caernarfon Town fc came in 5th place with 34 points Collected.

Hibernian will review CCTV footage to identify the culprit after a glass bottle was thrown at Rangers defender Borna Barisic at Easter Road on Friday. Barisic was prone on the turf after a challenge that led to Ryan Porteous being sent off in Rangers' 3-0 Scottish Premiership win when missiles were seen landing on the pitch in his vicinity. Hibs installed a new security system in the summer after incidents last term.
The hosts are simply too hard to ignore in the betting, and quite frankly, could be a bit shorter. They may not be prolific winners in the league, but their very solid efforts against Premier League teams, especially at this venue point towards success against a Championship side. Punters can profit by siding with 'Crystal Palace to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. The hosts are fancied to win but mainly because of their solidity. If we exclude games against the current top three, then Palace have kept four clean sheets in seven games at home and have only conceded three goals. In contrast, Derby are without a clean sheet in their last 12 on the road, only four of which they've scored in. Less than three goals have been scored in 100% of Palace's home games this term, as well as in 83% of Derby's away games.

Since a suprise win at Everton, the Canaries have gone seven league games without a win and one has to come along sooner rather than later. City have only themselves to blame because in five of those games, they took the lead but have just three points from their last seven league games. Good home form was expected to be the way they might survive but Norwich haven't won a league game at Carrow Road since mid-September.

You look at the performance during the week in Europe, they were magnificent to a man. And there has to be serious question marks about the players now about their mentality. How they can go from that level of performance to [Saturday], being put out - their only remaining realistic opportunity of getting silverware this season. So there's major question marks about the players. When things aren't going well for them on the pitch they lack leadership and they lack people that can go and drag a result out of something.
But any decision on that is going to have to wait until Uefa’s deadline of April 23. José Mourinho is sorry Tottenham’s manager is having a pretty chaotic lockdown. One week he’s handing out groceries and accepting compliments; the next he’s leading a training session on Hadley Common and everybody’s shaking their heads.
Well, Toby Alderweireld did exactly that. The way the defender swivelled in the opposition's penalty area and finished all in one move was absolutely sensational. At that moment the Belgium international looked more like a striker than a central defender. As for the own goal I wasn't entirely sure it was all Alderweireld's fault - especially after the look he gave keeper Hugo Lloris. I would be very interested to know what words were shared between them at half-time.
Ozil does not speak for Arsenal - Wenger"The German player Ozil posted an extreme statement about China on social media," it said in a statement. The speech hurt the feelings of Chinese fans and violated the sports spirit of love and peace. We do not understand, accept or forgive this. Arsenal said the club is "apolitical" and China's foreign ministry claimed 31-year-old Ozil - who is of Turkish origin - was "deceived by fake news".

I want someone with charisma. A good communicator and a motivator, who can bring the right balance to their style of play. Above all, though, Arsenal need a winner. Someone with a long-term vision for the club, and the ability to see that vision through. Ljungberg is interim manager but Patrick Vieira, Nuno Espirito Santo and Carlo Ancelotti are among the candidates being linked to the permanent Arsenal jobSo it is a bit concerning that there does not appear to be a clear plan in the type of manager that the board wants - you only have to look at the very different profiles of all the names being mentioned to see that.

Some were prepared and OK with it; they could handle it. Brazilian left-back Maxwell was an example of that - someone who he played with at Ajax, Inter, Barcelona and PSG. When Zlatan had a go at Maxwell about something in a game or in training, he would just tell him where to go. Some other players were like shrinking violets and I felt for them. They were shaking in their boots when Zlatan had a go at them.
Leipzig have also been in impressive goalscoring form away from home this season. They have scored over 2.5 goals in six of their 10 competitive away games. Furthermore, Paderborn have conceded over 2.5 goals in seven of their 12 Bundesliga fixtures.
Premier League bosses had let it be known just how important it was that the season be completed, pointing to the three-quarters of a billion pounds that contractually would have to be paid back to live TV rights-holders Sky and BT. Whether the two broadcasters actually intend to demand all of the refund they are entitled to if the season cannot resume remains unclear. I understand they are considering asking to show more matches next year, or requesting a year's free extension to their current deal to mitigate the damage their businesses have suffered.
BATE are the in-form side topping the Belarus Premier League and winning the national cup at the weekend. They just keep on winning and can be confidently backed to beat Isloch Minsk. The away side are appalling on their travels and have suffered three league defeats scoring just once. A bet on the home side winning and leading at both half and full time is the suggested wager to make.
How to Watch Liverpool FC vs. Arsenal FC: Live Stream 19 Dec 2023 — Arsenal FC will play Liverpool FC at Anfield on Saturday, December 23. The two Premier League clubs will battle at 12:30 PM ET.
Jablonec are in kind of must-win situation. They still haven't secured their spot at the championship group and with a won here they will do that. So far they are at the 4th place and have a little downfall at their performances but this is a great chance to get out of that bad shape. Karvina are playing for nothing. They are one of the worst squads this season and will finish at that 14th place and will play at the relegation group. Another thing is that Jablonec are the team with much more quality at their squad for sure and with few very experienced individuals.
