All things considered, we see good value in backing the hosts and doing so with a -1 handicap in place. Dundee United are scoring goals for fun, aren't conceding often and given the manner in which they've beaten Dundee twice already, we fancy them to win by more than a single goal via a 2-0 margin of victory.

An egregious error from goalkeeper David de Gea followed by a Troy Deeney penalty gave Watford a much-needed 2-0 win over Manchester United at Vicarage Road. See alsoWatford v Manchester United: LIVE For a game largely lacking in quality, it was fitting that the opening of the scoring came from a goalkeeper’s howler.
Neftekhimik will play against Khimki in the Russian National league. Only six points that separate these two teams. The hosts are fighting for the playoffs, while Khimki is fighting for the promotion, so this match is very important for these two teams, but I think that the hosts team will not lose today as they will try to avoid defeat and I expect them to grab at least a draw.
Paper Round's view: It's going to be very tough for Brewster to break into the Liverpool team at the moment. Origi has proved how valuable he can be in the biggest matches, but even he can barely claim a starting spot ahead of Roberto Firmino. Moving to a Championship club in January would allow the youngster to prove to the Reds what he can do when he gets the opportunities and is allowed to put some form together.
Relive Norwich's win over EvertonReaction to all today's Premier League gamesNorwich's third win of the season sees them rise two places to 20th, while Everton's third home defeat of the campaign means they slip to 15th place. Gylfi Sigurdsson had several chances as the hosts improved for a spell in the second half, but the Everton's captain could only shoot straight at Krul with the best of them. Sigurdsson also seemed placed for a chance from a free-kick late in the game, but Lucas Digne stepped up instead and could only fire in a weak effort that Krul saved comfortably.

Manchester United need to bounce back from their home loss to Bristol City. Before that though, they had won four home league matches in a row and host a Tottenham side struggling on their travels. They have only one point from their last three on the road and needed a late goal to get a win at home in their last game. Go for a United home win in this game.
We're really starting to gel and you're starting to see this new product of football out on the field. I think, scary thing is, we're only going to get better. Bumps in the road are inevitable, however, as the former coach of the NWSL's OL Reign - formerly known as Reign FC - will be faced with the unenviable task of cutting the existing 20-person qualifying roster to 18 for the Tokyo Olympics.

I had a very clear strategy of how I wanted to go about my recruitment. I wanted a young team that I felt we could develop, coach and could get promotion in the first year," Stoney told BBC Sport. When we recruit players, we look at the likes of Lauren James - talented youngsters who can entertain the fans - but we also back that up with good centre-halves and full-backs who can defend and allow our front five, essentially, to attack with freedom.
How would you feel about your team winning the title when they're in third place, 12 points off the top and having played barely half of their league games?That's exactly what has happened to Scottish junior club Auchinleck Talbot, who have been crowned champions of the West Region Premiership. Why? Well because the Scottish Junior Football Association have ended the league season early on a points-per-game basis with all football in Scotland suspended until at least 10 June because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Sometimes he looks for the easy way in football. That’s what was his problem. Despite making just one appearance for the Baggies in the 2015/16 season, Gnabry impressed the following summer with the Germany Under-21's and Wenger said he wanted him to continue with the North London club. We had prepared him for us to sign his new contract but then suddenly he wanted to go to Werder Bremen," he added.
Tierney made it 2-0 and Aubameyang's overhead kick after holding off Dawson added to Watford's misery before Deeney launched a spirited comeback. Welbeck's clever backheel finish gave his side hope but they could not find an equaliser as they slipped to a sixth straight away defeat. With the 2020-21 season starting on 12 September, the first task by Watford's owners will be to appoint a new head coach capable of inspiring a return to the top flight.
I've got a chairman who is with me all of the way and that's fantastic," he told BBC Radio Tees. But Woodgate also needs the fans behind him as Boro face the prospect of back-to-back away trips to Hull and Stoke later in March. I understand they're not going to be happy about certain things," he added. But they need to look at the bigger picture and look at us fighting to stay in this league. We all need to stick together.
They are unbeaten in nine matches at home and they have seven clean sheets in the run, three coming back to back ahead of this game.

The 30-year-old scored twice in Arsenal's 3-2 Premier League win over Everton on Sunday, lifting them to ninth and improving their chances of qualifying for Europe next season. Reports in British media said Aubameyang, who took his tally to a league-high 17 goals alongside Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, was a target for Barcelona.
The manager came in and wanted to show his power, show the other players that he's the boss, he's main man," he continued. Stendel does have the power, he is the boss, he is the main man. What's Whelan's problem with that?He played 15 league games for Hearts, lost 10, drew four and won one. Whatever job he thinks he did, it wasn't enough. I do feel let down. It was all very amateurish. He threw me under the bus," were other complaints.

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.
It's time to crown the best player in men's football for 2019. In a glittering ceremony in Paris on Monday, the winner of this year's Men's Ballon d'Or will be announced, with Liverpool defensive rock Virgil van Dijk the favourite to be the first defender to take the honour in 13 years. The Premier League is heavily stocked, boasting 15 of the 30-man shortlist. But who is in contention? Last year's winner Luka Modric - the only winner in the past 11 years not named Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo - did not make the cut.

Wolfsburg have not produced the most exciting football for neutrals this season. They have scored just 18 goals in their 16 Bundesliga games. Only Paderborn have scored fewer goals than Wolfsburg this season so far.
New York have lost nine games in a row. Only one of the ten New York away games this season have ended with a win for them. Portland have won four home games this season. Portland Trail Blazers aren't quite living up to their name this season. They are currently bottom of the Northwest Division of the NBA's Western Conference with a 9-15 season record.
For Bruce, a proud Geordie, this was his dream gig. But among the 33 managers to have managed 200 or more Premier League games in charge, his win percentage of 28. And he had previously managed Sunderland, which to the staunch Magpies fan was a big no-no. The disillusionment, all too apparent during the protests against the ownership before the Arsenal match, grew after the 3-1 loss at 'relegation rivals' Norwich.
Three Arsenal players were unable to train in the build-up to last week's defeat at Manchester City after one of them returned a positive Covid-19 test. Arsenal have refused to name the individual but BBC Sport understands the player also came into close contact with two other players. Under Premier League protocols, all three had to go into self-isolation. The trio showed no symptoms, were tested again - this time all negative - and trained before the City game.
The 29-year-old has courted controversy for numerous on and off-field incidents in a chequered career. And, while at Manchester City, he once broke a club curfew to have a late-night curry in the city centre fewer than 48 hours before the club played a Premier League game. The incident reportedly incurred a hefty £150,000 fine, with any attempt to be inconspicuous not helped by his readiness to sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans, as well as staging a mock sword fight with a friend - using a rolling pin.
Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has suggested halves of less than 45 minutes could be considered when football resumes. Discussions about the Premier League's return are ongoing but Taylor says players are "concerned" about safety. They are not stupid," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. They would have to be satisfied that it is safe. The Premier League said the idea is "not on the table".
Every time we meet with the football authorities we are being very clear and asking them for updates on where they're getting in terms of actions. I think what it might possibly take is some prosecutions. We need to, ideally, see the Crown Prosecution Service taking these cases forward and bringing people to book and that may very well have an impact. World Cup 2030 bid a 'work in progress'The sports minister also confirmed ongoing talks on a "potential bid" for the United Kingdom and Ireland to host the World Cup in 2030, though he has called for a more "transparent" bidding process after the controversy that surrounded England's failed attempt to host the 2018 tournament.
I can't believe, with the investment that has been put into the squad over the last five or six years, you end up with that out on the pitch. I can't change the ownership of Manchester United - no-one can - but I am struggling to understand why the ownership has persisted in trusting that management team to oversee that investment. If you don't lose your job for overseeing that investment, that wage bill and putting that team out on the pitch, something is really wrong.
There are good teams in it," Solskjaer told a news conference. It might be a bad day, you meet someone . Another Champions League miss for United could prove costly with the club reporting lower second-quarter revenue and core profit due to their absence from the competition this season. We're a big club, we've got good finances but the longer you're out of it, the more you'll suffer," Solskjaer added.

The dastardly tactics of Jose Mourinho have returned.

Inter have a two goal advantage from first leg, quality is on their side, and they will be able to rest some standard players in this duel. Ludogorets is not so weak opponent, despite defeat of 0-2 on their stadium, they will not surrender, but reality is cruel, they simply not have enough quality to qualify into next round. Wanderson, Swierczok and Marcelinho will be in attack, but it's never easy task to score a goal against Inter, despite the fact that host will be without their first goalkeeper Handanovic. After final whistle of the referee I expect equal result and match without winner.

Those glory days look like a distant memory, as they slipped to their biggest defeat since an 8-0 thrashing by Wolves in 1911. There had looked to be a consolation in Hull's fortunes as the game drew to a close after Keane Lewis-Potter looked to have been brought down by Nathan Byrne. However referee Tony Harrington changed his mind after initially pointing to the spot, in a moment that was symbolic of a nightmare evening for Hull.
