He came off the bench in a 1-1 friendly against Croatia, and by the time he received his second cap against Scotland in October, Fernandes was a regular fixture for Benfica’s first team. Fernandes did not find the target in the league, but provided two assists from central midfield under manager Rui Vitoria.

This match pits two of the best performing teams in the Premier League and we all expect it to be a cracker. The side with the best attack hosts the one with the best defence at this stage in the league. City have scored three or more in four of the last five matches while Leicester have conceded in four of their last five matches. City have five wins in their eight league games at home this season and they will be glad to host Leicester at this point in time when Leicester’s form is dipping. Leicester had to come from behind to draw Norwich in their last league game, and they needed a Tim Krul own goal to earn the point. In the Everton game, they let slip a 2-0 lead and only escaped through penalties. By their recent results, we don’t really expect them to take much from the Etihad, even though we can’t overlook the fact that they are one of the best at the moment. We will go for a Manchester City win here.
Two very strong teams, teams that already at the start of the season showed their game in attack, and already have some positive series of several matches. Moreover, they stand high in the table, in my opinion on the third and fourth line if I'm not mistaken. True, I don’t really believe in a draw, I confess right away, but I also can’t decide on someone’s victory so that the odds suit me. And since I have minus about twenty thousand in my current tournament, and only two days remain, I have no choice but to shoot three-plus bets like this. If this bet does not enter, then you need to wait for the next tournament
Newcastle United are in good form with only two losses in their last 11 league games. Only one goal has been conceded in the last five and they are scoring a few too, for a change. West Ham had a great win over Chelsea on Wednesday but that was at home. Their away form is one reason why they are still battling against relegation with ten losses in 16 played. Go for Newcastle to maintain their late surge with a home win,

While Preston have pulled off some impressive results this season, they’ve all come at home. Their away results haven’t been great, but the visitors have been solid at the back on their travels to make up for a lack of goals. They conceded as many goals in their last away league game (0-4 vs Hull) as they had in their previous six on the road in the Championship.
Tuesday will be the second time Critchley has overseen a first-team match this campaign after taking charge of December's Carabao Cup tie at Aston Villa while Klopp was with the senior squad at the Club World Cup in Qatar. Immediately after the 2-2 draw at the Montgomery Waters Meadow on 26 January, Klopp said he and the first team would not be at the replay before saying the club were honouring a letter from the Premier League sent in April 2019 and "nothing would change" if they played the game.
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.
Schmidt, Zwanziger and Linsi are accused of fraud and Niersbach of being complicit in fraud in the charges. The investigation revealed that in 2002 Beckenbauer accepted a loan of 10 million francs in his own name and for his own account from Robert Louis-Dreyfus. This sum was used to fund various payments made via a Swiss law firm to a Qatari company belonging to Mohammed Bin Hammam, the OAG said.
It was quite a childish reaction, a mixture of being so proud but also being upset because I wasn't able to contribute at the end. Blackburn won 27 league games and lost just sevenKenna: "My mum, Kathleen, and dad, Liam, were sat with the Blackburn fans. During the Match of the Day highlights, when we found out we had won the title, the camera zooms in on the Blackburn crowd and you can see my parents.
I didn't want to have that situation and that's why I took him off. He was targeted. It was clear. It's part of football but I don't like it. The German coach has overseen a number of inspiring second-leg comebacks in European matches at Anfield and warned Atletico what awaited them on Merseyside next month.

Arsenal conceded in the opening minute of a home Premier League game for only the second time - they also did so in 2007 against Fulham, when David Healy scored after 51 seconds. Eddie Nketiah's goal, assisted by Bukayo Saka, was the first time two players aged under 21 have combined for a Premier League goal for Arsenal since 2008, when Denilson assisted Nicklas Bendtner against Bolton. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored seven goals in nine Premier League appearances under Carlo Ancelotti, having netted seven in his previous 31 games before the Italian took charge.
We’re confident that Porto will win on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. Porto are yet to concede a goal or drop any points at home domestically and realistically Feyenoord have to go for the win if they want to qualify and that means there will be gaps at the back for Porto to exploit this Thursday.
Meanwhile, Alonso's double on Saturday brought about the first Premier League draw between the Cherries and Chelsea in what was their 10th meeting. That run, however, is not quite Everton v Fulham, which saw 18 consecutive meetings without a draw between 2001 and 2010 - while Manchester United against Wigan stands at 16 drawless top-flight fixtures. One to keep an eye on. Goal-shy Magpies relying on shutoutsFinally, Alonso's three goals in two league games are as many as Newcastle have managed since 18 January.
Some light relief. Can you name all the Ballon d'Or winners of the last 30 years? I can certainly name two. Try the quiz here! 10:35 - Serie A retreat to finish the season? Reports in Italy claim the Serie A are pondering the idea of moving all 20 clubs to Rome and completing the season in around 45 days this summer.
Mainz 05 are involved in high scoring games so far this season in the Bundesliga with the 14 matches producing an average of 3.8 goals. At home Mainz have conceded in each game so far but also failed to score only once.
Napoli held their nerve to claim a first major trophy in six seasons by beating Juventus in a penalty shootout in the Coppa Italia final. Arkadiusz Milik scored the winning spot-kick after Paulo Dybala had seen his first for Juve saved, before team-mate Danilo blazed the second over. This followed a hard-fought 0-0 over 90 minutes of few chances, played behind closed doors at the Stadio Olimpico. It gives Napoli boss Gennaro Gattuso his first major trophy as a manager.
It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.
Brescia were on the brink of a win which would have taken them out of the relegation zone before Parma substitute Alberto Grassi headed the equaliser in the second minute of added time. Brescia stayed 18th in the 20-team table with 14 points, one behind Sampdoria, while Parma are seventh with 25. Bologna won 3-2 at Lecce in the other afternoon kickoff although they had to survive a late fightback by the hosts.
It's not an uncommon occurrence for me to look up a game online in the course of match research then be surprised to hear myself commentating on it. In recent times the FA Cup semi-final between Watford and Wolves last season was a cracker, and the best game I saw at the 2018 World Cup was undoubtedly France beating Argentina 4-3 in the last 16. Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Watford 3-2 Wolves (aet) Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: France 4-3 Argentina In the women's game, the 2012 Olympic semi-final between the United States and Canada at Old Trafford had absolutely everything.

The 26-year-old midfielder wishes to leave at the end of the season, but the co-owners may be reluctant to sell the player at a loss on the £89 million that he cost them from Juventus in 2016. Real Madrid offered just £27. James Rodriguez for the player last summer. Paper Round’s view: Pogba may have blown his chances to secure the big move he has been angling for this season.
The hosts even lost at home to Al Ettifaq with no less than 6-0 this start of the season, also recent 3-2 loss at home to newly promoted Abha side, 3-2 loss at home to Al Raed also at home, and just a 2-2 draw in normal time in the cup with some amateurs beyond the second league level and lost after extra-time, while last season in the ending of the season they lost 3-2 to Al-Hilal at home.
In fact, he is yet to win any trophy as a manager. And yet the statistics show that Pochettino reached 100 Premier League wins as Spurs manager in just 169 games - only Jose Mourinho with Chelsea (142) and Sir Alex Ferguson with Manchester United (162) got to that landmark for a single team in fewer games. While such a record suggests he deserves to be rated among the league's finest managers, it is in the big matches that Tottenham have frequently come up short under Pochettino.
The Portuguese is having to contend with injuries to Moussa Sissoko and Harry Kane. Despite the lack of activity, Mourinho is sanguine with the Mirror carrying these quotes: "This isn't about a list of players. January is a strange market, it's not an easy market to be in. It's a market of opportunity, a market where an opportunity arise and you have the conditions to do it or not to do it.
It was a game Newcastle had to get something from and it had everything. It was so significant because Kevin Keegan was never going to change the way he wanted his team to play football. It was all-out attack, and I wasn't at the club, but I could understand that philosophy. He wanted to entertain the fans. Ian Wright: "It was such an entertaining game and it was ideal to watch for a neutral. Newcastle played brilliantly and when they scored you thought they would go, but it's Anfield, and the thing with Liverpool and their fans is they never give up on their team.

Relive Saturday's EFL action as it happenedLeeds consistently created opportunities, with Hernandez the playmaker in the first 45 minutes, but the Elland Road club's profligacy in front of goal left their supporters frustrated once again - with new striker Jean-Kevin Augustin, who has been doing extra training since joining from RB Leipzig on Monday, left out of the squad.
We are not winning in this moment, so we must try to recover our performance and always have a winning and ambitious mentality. With three points more, maybe we are in seventh position in the table. West Ham's slide down the standings has coincided with the absence of first-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who has been sidelined since September with a hip injury.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been wrestling for domination at the lip of world football’s Reichenbach Falls for what seems like an aeon now, but both are advancing ever further into their thirties. Even if they could sip elixir from the same well as Roger Federer, staying at the very top in a dynamic team environment like football is dependent on so many other factors, not least your team-mates.
Only Liverpool and Manchester City have won more points away from home than Wolves. Both teams are in the top seven when it comes to Premier League defensive records. Two outsiders in the race for European football meet on Wednesday when Sheffield United host Wolves at Bramall Lane. The Blades are eighth in the table (with their game against Burnley in play at the time of writing) which could be a high enough position to earn a European place depending on who wins the FA Cup.
Birmingham City recovered from conceding a goal after 40 seconds to win at Ashton Gate and end Bristol City's four-game winning run in the Championship. Jamie Paterson capitalised on Marc Roberts' weak backpass to round goalkeeper Lee Camp and give the hosts a perfect start, but Lee Johnson's side were 2-1 behind by half-time. Scott Hogan's tap-in equaliser for Blues, after Dan Bentley had saved Jeremie Bela's powerful effort, was the first goal that the Robins had conceded in 383 minutes of league action.
Alex Neil's side had chances to double their advantage before the break, the best of which saw Sean Maguire's header tipped away by David Marshall. Straight after the restart, Preston did make it 2-0 with another slick passing move, this time the impressive Johnson finishing smartly into the corner after Barkhuizen found him in the box. The Latics, who are the division's lowest scorers, threatened an unlikely comeback when Chey Dunkley capitalised on some poor defending to poke the ball in from close range.
