He was my hero growing up & is a legend among Evertonians. I would love it if he got to manage Everton on more permanent basis one day, even if he needs to gain more experience first. Delight, dejection, delirium - the five stages of Ferguson All smiles before the game as Duncan Ferguson greets Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers Smiles turn to frustration as his side falls behind to two goals in three first-half minutes Two nil down and time ticking away, Ferguson looks gutted as Everton appear to be heading to defeat But a Tom Davies volley has Everton back in the game and Ferguson gives Ferguson a spring in his step once more And at 2-2 the comeback is complete.
Ultimately, although neither side has covered itself in glory this term, it's Scunthorpe who have to be fancied here. Man for man, they are a stronger outfit on paper than Oldham and have showed signs of coming to life in recent months, prior to a couple of disappointing defeats.
Chindia Targoviste have conceded in their last six games. Five of their last seven games have seen both teams score. Poli Lasi have conceded in nine of their last ten games. Four of their last seven games have seen both teams score. In their previous match encounters both teams have found the net in their last two games I.e 2:1,2:2. At home chindia targoviste have scored and conceded in their last three games. Both teams are in relegation places therefore will desperate to get points in this game. I expect an attacking game between both sides leading to a goals. My pick is both sides to score.
A video posted on social media showed the group gathered outside the house in Cheshire chanting threats towards Woodward, who is married with two children. British media reported that neither the 48-year-old Woodward nor his family were present at the property. United are fifth in the Premier League, 33 points adrift of leaders and arch-rivals Liverpool - and Woodward has been the target of blame from the fans for the club's recent struggles.
United haggle over Smalling deal Despite the end of the transfer window fast approaching, there are few big stories hinting that anything shocking will get done in the market in the next few days. The Sun leads their coverage with talks between Manchester United and Roma for Chris Smalling, with the Italian side wanting to part with £13 million plus add-ons, while United want £25 million.
Greuther Furth are currently in 8th place but only eight points behind Stuttgart in a play off place. Their home form is decent with five wins and two draws from their last nine home league matches, keeping four clean sheets in the process.

Van Basten would bump me into traffic'The Rangers manager would still be involved in Dick's next move, though. Shortly after the Ibrox deal faltered, Souness was contacted by Cruyff with a view to signing Davie Cooper. The Ajax icon was rebuffed but was sent away with a recommendation that he take another Scottish winger. That's why I got a very strange call out the blue from Ajax," Dick says. The Ajax squad of that 1985-86 season reads like a who's who of Dutch footballing royalty - Ronald Koeman, Frank Rijkaard, Dennis Bergkamp.
Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in four of Solihull Moors’ last six and three of Rotherman’s last five matches, so both teams head into Monday’s match in good scoring form but with very few clean sheets in their name. Solihull have lost twice at home this season and Rotherham have won six times on the road, so you can start to see why we have backed a narrow win for the League One side on Monday.
Khouribga sit on 11th spot right now after 5 fixtures. They have played well and drawn 3 of their 5 matches. They are coming off a defeat against Difa Al jadida by 1-0 goal and managed 6 points in this season. They played 2 home matches in this season and have drawn both of them.
Whilst the jump from the Turkish 1. Lig into the Super Lig is typically a tough one for promoted sides to make, hosts Denizlispor are having no such issues thus far this season. Coming into the campaign looking to do nothing more than merely retain top flight status, they have defied expectations to come into this round of fixtures stationed in a very healthy 9th place.
Palace fans have a reputation for being among the loudest in the Premier League, so how much has playing behind closed doors affected the Eagles' form? "We've definitely missed our fans at home and we take it away as well," says Stacks. It might sound a bit hippyish of me but I feel as if there is a positive energy and a bond between the players, fans and the community. The players talk about it a lot and there has been something missing without our supporters when, on the flip side, some of the teams with less harmonious relationships have benefited because the pressure is off when grounds are empty.
With the scores level after extra-time, how do you decide who goes through to the quarter-finals? Penalties? A replay? No. The referee took the two captains, Celtic's McNeill and Mario Coluna of Benfica, into his dressing room for a coin toss. McNeill called heads, it landed on heads. He was then informed that round was merely for the right to toss the actual coin. He stuck to his guns. Heads again.
It has given the 23-year-old a new lease of life, and having scored just two goals in his last 20 league games, he now has three in his last four. He isn't the only beneficiary of Mourinho's leadership - the Portuguese has given the whole place a lift, with even anchorman Sissoko grabbing a goal, as Spurs claimed their third consecutive win for the first time since April.

The last 12 meetings between Real Madrid and Valencia have produced over 2.5 goals in 11. Valencia are unbeaten in six matches at home. Real Madrid six wins in their last 10 away matches. Valencia have scored in 14 of their last 15 matches. Real Madrid are unbeaten in the last 10 matches. Valencia will host Real Madrid this Sunday, when the Spanish La Liga goes into the 17th round of matches.
Leicester still look Champions League materialLeicester have now lost home and away to the two teams above them in the table this season but they again showed why they occupy such a lofty position, and will feel they deserved more from this game. The Foxes may have been forced into an attacking outlook by their lack of available defensive midfielders but boss Brendan Rodgers demonstrated his tactical versatility by switching to a three-man defence and his side looked comfortable, and dangerous, as they carried out his instructions.
Cagliari's midfielder Radja Nainggolan could make his 300th Serie A start in this game – he has been directly involved in the most goals in the competition since November: seven goals (three strikes, four assists). He’s featuring in an impressive frontline, with the Belgian playing in support of Joao Pedro and Giovanni Simeone up top. Between them they have 17 goals in the last 12 games, which they can add to here.
Premier League champions Manchester City got back to winning ways by coming from behind to beat in-form Chelsea in an entertaining game. The visitors, who had won their previous seven away games, led when N'Golo Kante slipped the ball past Ederson from Marco Kovacic's aerial pass. At that stage City were facing back-to-back Premier League defeats which would have left them 12 points behind leaders Liverpool and given them an uphill task to retain their title.
Pohang Steelers will host Seoul for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match. I believe, Seoul is one of the ambitious teams in this league. The visitors probably will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. In my opinion, the hosts have better chance to get the victory on the home field. I think, Pohang is really better team at home. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate in this match. They tend to score a goal. Also, it should be said, Pohang have better results in the last mutual matches. My pick - Pohang Steelers to win.
Actually, Watford have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. On the flip side though, they have failed to score in just one of their last five matches. They go to this game on one loss only in the last seven home matches but none of the opponents they have faced in that duration can match Liverpool.
I was wondering what all the hype was about. I did not realise just how good he really was until he played his first game for us. He came alive in matches, and everything about him was different. I actually set up his first goal for City, on his debut against Swansea, with a cross that he turned in at the far post - and he has obviously scored quite a few more like that since. When I look at his record now, as the highest scoring overseas player in Premier League history, I wonder why I ever disrespected him.
Did you know? Firmino became the fifth Liverpool player to record three assists in a single Premier League match, after (most recent first) Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alberto Aquilani, Vladimir Smicer and Stan Collymore. Son Heung-min: If ever Tottenham needed a performance out of Son Heung-min, then this was it. In the absence of Harry Kane, Spurs are struggling up front. Son is a runner and not a natural striker with his back to goal, which leaves Spurs lacking someone who can hold and retain the ball.
Defensively, Burnley aren’t the same side they were a couple of years back. They have conceded 1.61 goals per game this season and have kept just two clean sheets in their nine Premier League away days. These came against Bournemouth and Watford, two teams that are really struggling for goalscoring form at the moment.
Trust in Solskjaer - analysis Youngest Manchester United players to score two or more goals in a European gameBBC Sport football writer Simon StoneWhen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said during Manchester United's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia that Mason Greenwood was one of the best finishers he had seen, the travelling media took his comments with a pinch of salt. It also seemed a bit weird when Solskjaer decided to keep Greenwood while letting Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku join Inter Milan.
It is amazing to be able to win here for us because we are not used to doing these things. We hope it will help us in the future to believe in ourselves and to be able to go to any stadium and play the way we did against Real. Manchester City's only previous away wins in the Champions League knockout stages were against Dynamo Kiev, Basel and Schalke Guardiola's side are hoping to win the Champions League for the first time, having progressed as far as the semi-finals only once before.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 57% of Freiburg’s home games as well as in 86% of Bayern’s away games, while both teams scored in 57% of Freiburg’s home games and in 71% of Bayern’s away games, providing more reasons to back a final score of 2-1 on Wednesday night. Freiburg have only conceded 6 goals at home this season but Bayern have scored 15 on the road, which is why we feel the visitors are best placed to win the game.
Chinandega need all three points to secure Playoffs place but Esteli are 10 points ahead of them and has excellent head to head record. Chinandega lost three of the last five matches and has one win and one defeat in the last two home matches. On the other hand Esteli just lost one of the last seven Games in the League and has One Win, One Draw and a Defeat in last three away matches. Esteli Defeated Chinandega in all the last four head to head matches and Scored four or More Goals in last three. So Esteli is likely to win .
He didn't, but the opener did come when Odsonne Edouard fired a shot at Joel Pereira, which the goalkeeper simply parried to Ntcham rather than divert wide. The midfielder finished calmly to reinforce his recent impact. You feared the worst for Hearts but they began to create chances with Celtic increasingly sloppy and the formation switch looking effective. They ought to have been punished though before half-time when Edouard slipped Leigh Griffiths in, but the striker misfired and hit the side netting.
Boavista have lost three of their last six matches in all competitions and Benfica have won four of their last six matches in league and cup, while the hosts have only failed to score in two of their last six matches and the visitors have scored in all of their last six matches.
Apparently still feeling the effects of the anaesthetic, Pogba posted videos on Instagram saying he was unsure if he was "high or sober" and that he was blessed to be alive, before talking about needing a haircut. He later deleted the stories and replaced them with a shorter one in which he appeared less groggy.
At the beginning, (Italy) went through some turbulent times with some critics. So I wouldn't take the current critics or criticism, from England in particular and the Premier League, in too much of a dramatic way. Video - 'VAR takes half an hour to see if there's a toe nail' - Klopp00:56 "There is no reason why in England it cannot be successful if it has been successful everywhere else.
Khimi is still playing without a win in the competition, but this team made their performances in the defensive play much better. They went with two previous losing matches, where conceded less than two goals each, and now should be able to recover again for this duel.
The Blades, despite their modest budget, find themselves 5th in the Premier League following their 1-0 win at Brighton last weekend. They are already three quarters of the way to that magical 40 point mark, and actually find themselves within touching distance of the top four.
She is a machine. She makes it look so easy, she is such an athlete. Ferguson: "She sets herself extremely high standards and she hates losing. There is a real art form to playing in that full-back role and she has perfected it. Julie ErtzErtz won the World Cup with USA with France in 2019 - the second time in her career after also winning in Canada in 2015. The USA's player of the year, she plays for NWSL finalists Chicago Red Stars domestically.

But at some point, Frank’s going to have to face it that Chelsea see themselves as a big club, who have won the Champions League and compete regularly in the competition. Maybe it’s going to have to come to the point that people will say that Frank Lampard, if he doesn’t shake them out of this indifferent form they’re in, he’ll be under a little bit of pressure.
Going to this game, Gladbach are favorites and the pressure will be on them. They have to deliver at home as they know that is the only way to keep alive their top four hopes. While they have been doing well at home, clean sheets have been rare and this will pose a genuine concern for the hosts. On the other hand, Union Berlin are not the strongest away from home but they have managed to sneak in goals on the road. Playing the third best home side in Bundesliga is however not bound to go their way. Both sides have scored in 12 of Gladbach’s 14 home league matches this term but with their home record, we will be backing the hosts for a 3-1 win.

They have failed to score in just three of their last eight matches at home, but then kept two clean sheets in the three matches. Of the 14 wins Wolves have managed in the Premier League this season, seven have come at home and having beaten Everton 3-0 in their last home game, they will be keen to wrap up their home matches on a high.
Chances went begging at either end before Fabian Schar volleyed in a 59th-minute equaliser, firing past Jordan Pickford after Andy Carroll had headed a Jetro Willems free kick into the defender's path. Everton, whose lightning breaks kept carving open the home team's defence all afternoon, struck again five minutes later when Calvert-Lewin bundled in Richarlison's perfect low cross from the right.
Neal Maupay starts every week; Aaron Connolly, another regular, hasn't scored since the start of October. We gave Potter a new six-year contract in November after he'd won just four Premier League games but unless we get a striker we could be bang in relegation trouble. A loan move for somebody such as Olivier Giroud or another proven Premier League striker out-of-favour at a bigger club would be perfect, although in all honesty that's probably pie-in-the-sky thinking.
Man City vs Huddersfield live watch 7 January 2024 Sport 10 hours ago — My Man City V Huddersfield Town live stream watchalong as I react live to this FA Cup 3rd round game at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
Going to this game, Inter have so far secured 72 points and are in second place while Fiorentina, on 42 points, are placed 12th. Inter missed a big chance to close in on Juventus in their last game as they drew 2-2 with AS Roma. They needed a late penalty goal from Romelu Lukaku to secure the point after letting go of the lead and they will take vital lessons from that.
Fortuna have conceded at least two goals in 11 of their 17 Bundesliga games this season. Meanwhile, Werder Bremen have conceded at least two goals in 13 of their 17 Bundesliga fixtures. We feel that a 2-2 draw is a likely outcome of this game, with neither of these out-of-form sides looking likely to take three points.
Slutsk is in deep crisis and has not won in 6 matches suffering 4 losses in the process. After all they have two draws in the last 3 matches. With 18 points, the team is number 10 right now. Grodno has won the last 4 matches in a row and is now number 6 with 2 points more and is therefore not far away, the winning streak should be over for Neman Grodno.
Since that opening day, where Copenhagen beat Lugano in the other fixture, there has only been one victory in the entire group with Malmo beating Lugano in matchweek three. That has led to three teams all being very closely grouped and qualification could still, realistically, go any way at the moment. The winner of this fixture would hold a massive advantage going into the final round of games whilst the loser would almost definitely be assured of playing their last game in the competition in December.
That could be about to change. With David Silva’s contract at the Etihad expiring in June, a vacancy has appeared in midfield, paving the way for Foden to have a regular role in Pep Guardiola’s side and stake a claim for a starting spot at the next international tournament. But back to Sancho. While his progression at Dortmund has been staggering, he has so far been good – but not great – in his 11 senior caps for England.
