But our contact and our relationship is really good. It is understood the Portuguese's position was discussed during that meeting. I spoke with them Saturday, I spoke with them Sunday, I spoke with them Monday, it's normally something we do often," Silva told Football Focus (Saturday, BBC One and online, 12:00 GMT). All of us we want the same, we want the best for our club, and you are together in this fight of course.
Tommy Gemmell celebrates putting Celtic into the lead against FeyenoordHay gives more weight to the argument, however, and is convinced that they did indeed take Feyenoord lightly. You should never go into a game and think it's going to be easy, especially a European Cup final," he said. On the night, we just didn't perform. Big Jock changed the team from the Leeds game, we didn't dominate the midfield, and Feyenoord did their homework.
So how did Ndidi develop into one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe? It all started with a ball made of Sellotape. Makeshift footballs and strict discipline - where it all beganThere is something simplistic yet regimented about Ndidi's role on the pitch - break up attacks, win back possession and pass. Rinse and repeat. The type of footballer he is can perhaps be traced back to his upbringing.
The visitors have lost each of their previous seven matches, which has put them in danger of the drop. That losing streak has left them bottom, but this has been a difficult campaign from the start. Brescia have lost 10 Serie A matches this season; 13 of the 14 sides with as many defeats after the first 13 league games were relegated at the end of the season – only Crotone in 2016/17 avoided the drop. If they’re going to avoid relegation, then beating the next-worst side in the division would be a start.
Two teams almost never went above 2.5 goals on their games. They had some draw low scoring matches, or Perez manage to win with one of two goals. Guadalupe has never won the game against Zeledon on this pitch. This is a chance for the host to break that poor run, and to seek for the victory here.
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he "expects" Paul Pogba to still be at the club next season. The World Cup winner has been troubled by ankle injuries this term, with the last of the France player's eight appearances coming on 26 December. The midfielder, 26, has also been been linked with a move away from Old Trafford by his agent Mino Raiola. But when asked about his future, Solskjaer said: "Paul's our player.
The hosts looked in devastating form tonight, while Leicester have been on an excellent run before tonight and face Liverpool next. Can they between them exert the kind of pressure on Liverpool that might lead to a title race rather than a procession? MAN OF THE MATCH Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City): If the match had ended at half-time, the torturous 45 minutes Mahrez gave Ben Chilwell might have won the argument.
There are mitigating circumstances, with manager Sean Dyche largely reliant on one consistent attacking threat in Chris Wood, because of injuries to Ashley Barnes and Jay Rodriguez. He almost lost Wood too during this game, with damage to his nose in the first half requiring him to twice leave the field for treatment. Dyche's attempted solution to his side's current dire run and a return of just five goals from nine games was to play Jeff Hendrick behind Wood as part of a five-man midfield.
However, this season has seen him start only four games and trailed in more advanced position. This has lead to speculation that the combative midfielder is unhappy and open to move. Though he has reiterated his focus is fully on playing for the Gunners, he left the door open by admitting he will ‘ see what happens’ in the future.
Going to this game, Valencia have three straight wins, and are unbeaten in the last four matches. They have three losses and eight wins in their last 15 matches while they have failed to score in just one of the last 15 matches. They will however have defensive concerns going to this game, as they have just two clean sheets in the last 14 matches.

Chelsea are fourth in the table and staring at the trap door in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the Blues are still punching above their weight and that is down to Frank Lampard. Did you know? Alonso has scored 19 goals in the Premier League for Chelsea, more than any other defender in the competition since the start of the 2016-17 season. Forwards - Michail Antonio (West Ham), Troy Deeney (Watford), Ismaila Sarr (Watford) Michail Antonio: It might be only his second goal of the season but Antonio's work rate and general contributions to West Ham's victory over Southampton was vital.

They are very fast in attack. They can hurt us all of the time, they deserve to go through. If I can be critical of some of my players, I keep this for us. They tried to give what they can give. We made mistakes, mistakes that we have analysed in previous matches. I never blame players with some difficulties.
MOST GOALS Real: Karim Benzema/Rodrygo (4) City: Raheem Sterling (5) MOST ASSISTS Real: Marcelo (3) City: Riyad Mahrez (4) KEY PLAYER Real: Karim Benzema City: Kevin de Bruyne PREDICTION Focus could decide this tie. Both managers have an eye-watering wealth of talent at their disposal but City – with a third league title on the bounce presumably beyond them – can focus their energies on a Champions League charge.

West Brom manager Slaven Bilic told BBC WM 95. In the first half we were very dominant, we just lacked quality in the final third and I told the guys just raise the tempo and be patient. In the second half Preston improved and had their moments but the game changed in the final 20 minutes and we camped in their half of the pitch, and if any team deserved to win it was us. You can't imagine how big a result this is for us because Preston is a very difficult place to come and play.
I felt from day one when he came in the door he changed everything," said Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. We followed him and believed him. It's been an amazing journey. I'm hoping there is more, we just keep hungry, keep wanting more and following him. The biggest thing is no matter what we all follow him, believe in him and he's took us to this point. This wouldn't be possible without him. A title 'fuelled by disappointment and learning'Liverpool narrowly missed out on the title in 2014 when a defeat by Chelsea at Anfield towards the end of the season allowed Manchester City to clinch the Premier League trophy instead.
United are unbeaten in 16 in games in all competitions, the addition of Bruno Fernandes to the side in January inspiring a tremendous run of form. In recent weeks, they have poured forward with a newfound rhythm, scoring eight goals in their last two matches. If Villa score, the likelihood is that United will score more.
Championship leaders Leeds United have reported an annual pre-tax loss of £21. June 2019. The accounts cover the 2018-19 season, during which Leeds narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League. The club made an operating loss of more than £36m, although player sales brought in more than £15m. Turnover rose from £40. Leeds' previous set of accounts for 2017-18 showed an annual loss of £4. It is also revealed in documents filed at Companies House that Leeds may have to pay bonuses of almost £20m to players and management staff if they are promoted to the Premier League this season.
UEFA can take a crumb of comfort from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar being scheduled for winter, freeing up the possibility of a summer event in 2022. The revamped Club World Cup in summer 2021 is also likely to be hit, while the second edition of the UEFA Nations League is another tournament in doubt. WHAT ABOUT THE FANS? Billed as a country-hopping extravaganza, UEFA sold the vast majority of the 2.
England have won their last two matches. Wales have lost their last two matches. England haven't lost at home to Wales since 2015. England are second in the Six Nations table but four points behind leaders France. They host the defending champions Wales who are down in fourth place. England got off to a poor start in this championship, losing their opening game in Paris.
I was wanting to try something new and see what a new chapter would bring. I didn't expect it to bring coronavirus, but having made the decision, you have to stand by it. I'm just sitting tight and waiting for my agent to come back with something that interests me and him. The English market is beginning to pick up. The Scottish one, you see some movement, which is great for me that clubs are starting to sign out-of-contract players.

The Sun believes that Lazio, who sit two points clear of Juventus, could want the player to partner Ciro Immobile up top. Paper Round’s view: Depay has a buyback clause with United, and looking at their current options, he could be considered if they land neither Jack Grealish nor Jadon Sancho. However, Depay deserves praise for rebuilding his career at Lyon after it appeared he had wasted a golden chance at United.
Leverkusen's team is fifth place in the league with a record of 17 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, while Munich is leader of the Bundesliga with a record of 21 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. Analyzing the last 5 games between both teams we have that the Munich has won 3 times and Leverkusen has 2 victories. Leverkusen's coach Bosc has won the last 3 games against Bayern and plans to do so against the upcoming champions. At least it shouldn't end like 1-4 against Wolfsburg in the last home game. Leverkusen can overtake Gladbach and take CL spot if they win. Bayern is 7 points ahead of Dortmund and there is not much in stake for them.
Gary Cahill came closest to salvaging something from the game for them with a downward header, saved by Kasper Schmeichel. After winning their first game back, Roy Hodgson's side have now lost three on the bounce - a run that surely ends any hope they had of snatching a Europa League qualification spot.
I will be very surprised if the players are clattering into each other like they normally would. Goodison is usually such an intimidating ground in terms of the backing Everton get, especially against Liverpool, and the players usually feed of that derby atmosphere. We will not see any of that this time though. Liverpool know two wins will secure of their first league title since 1990. The earliest they can win it is Monday, if they beat Everton on Sunday and Man City lose to Burnley the following eveningLawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.
Budge has mooted the idea of league reconstruction, where the top flight would expand from 12 teams to 14, taking in the top two in the Championship. But Uefa sent a letter to national associations warning European places could be under threat if leagues are called early. The Uefa statement doesn’t help, trying to apply pressure," McInnes added. The self-interest there is clear. I don’t think any federation should be penalised for doing what’s fair and right for their country, including ours.
The standard is very high, our manager Darren Gilbert is at Bodmin Town and is very experienced in this area and won a lot of trophies.

Goals from Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso proved to be decisive in the Premier League meeting but Lo Celso was controversially granted a reprieve after a lengthy VAR referral following a stamp on the Chelsea skipper. PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) has subsequently admitted to Sky Sports that the decision not to dismiss Lo Celso was a "human error by video officials".

Neymar left Barcelona for the French champions in a world record move in 2017 but his time in the capital has been dogged by reports of unrest. He attempted to force through a move in the summer which led to some fans turning against him at the Parc des Princes. He has scored 16 goals in 19 games for the champions as they have again moved comfortably to the top of Ligue 1, and Barca's great rivals Real Madrid reportedly sent representatives to Paris at the start of the season to meet with him about moving to the Bernabeu.
He's been a fantastic player for Man United and he played here for so long, he's the club's top scorer, he's won so many trophies," Solskjaer told reporters. Everyone appreciates what he did for us. He gave absolutely everything for this club. But any goal he scores against us will be chalked off his goals tally.
The same goes for Neymar, another favourite of the Gulf state's ruler, and he too has another two years on his PSG deal. Most significantly, the tears that flooded from him after qualifying behind closed doors against Dortmund, and the acclaim of the fans outside the Parc des Princes' locked gates, suggested his Nou Camp nostalgia is no more. A thornier question for other less financially muscled French clubs will be how to hold on to their best players in the summer transfer window, if there is a mercato, as it's known in France.

They may have taken one point from their first four matches in the group, but with two games to play they are just four points off second. They could cut that gap to a point with a victory in this meeting with Dinamo Zagreb, but that would require a major improvement from the hosts. The Serie A side have seen their campaign stall in recent weeks, with major problems both at home and in Europe.
GOAL! Real Madrid 1-4 Real Sociedad: That will surely be game over! Isak dragged the ball across the six yard box, picking out Merino and the Real Sociedad man showed great composure to pass his shot into the back of the net. Areola might have got a hand to it, but not enough to keep the ball out. ANOTHER GOAL RULED OUT! What a howler from Remiro! Vinicius' header should have been easy enough for the Real Sociedad goalkeeper to deal with, but he somehow manages to let it squeeze through his hands and into the back of the net.
Whichever way we look at this game, it's tough not to categorise it as a huge opportunity for the hosts. Lincoln have looked strong at home of late, beating some good sides such as Ipswich and Peterborough, while Bolton have floundered on the road. That said, we shouldn't expect the hosts to run riot. 'Lincoln to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' stands out as the best option. After all, Lincoln have only scored more than twice on two occasions at Sincil Bank this term, while more than four goals have been scored in just three out of ten at Sincil Bank. The hosts average 1.8 goals for. They've only conceded in two of their last three, while they've done a good job of restricting teams, surrendering an average of just 3.4 shots on target. Given Bolton's attacking woes on the road this term such numbers bode well for the hosts.
But with the country only recently emerging from a decade-long financial crisis, the virus could not have hit at a worse time, with Greece now projecting a 3-4% contraction of the economy this year. PROBLEMS SURFACE "The situation is not different from other European leagues," Lysandrou said. There are already signs that the problems have started to surface after the first three weeks of suspension.

If anyone can challenge the dominance of the top three, then it could be Daniil Medvedev. He's been in top form for most of the last six months and has made a good start to the new year. Stan Wawrinka has won this tournament but that was six years and a few bad injuries ago. Medvedev is the more consistent of the two, won their previous meeting and can be backed to win this match.
Eight years after retiring, Robbie Savage made his footballing comeback with non-league club Stockport Town on Monday. The former Wales international announced on Sunday that he would be putting his boots back on to play for the Greater Manchester side in the 10th tier of English football. The 45-year-old came off the bench to play the last 10 minutes of a 3-2 home win against Oswestry Town, who are top of the North West Counties Football League First Division South.
