Relations between Tuchel and chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke became strained after Dortmund's team bus was damaged by an explosion in April 2017. Tuchel claimed neither he nor his players were consulted about whether they should play their Champions League quarter-final home tie against Monaco fewer than 24 hours after the incident, but Watzke denied that was the case. It's not Jurgen Klopp coming back," said Watzke.
The Reds have a hectic winter schedule with nine matches before the end of the month - including Carabao Cup and Club World Cup fixtures on consecutive days – so Klopp has opted to rest Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and captain Jordan Henderson over the past week. Klopp made seven changes for the 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday and believes his squad understands the selections, saying: “I didn’t speak or ask them, I just made a decision.

After being given only half a season at West Ham he is reluctant to be treated as an interim choice again. Paper Round’s view: Moyes is proven at turning around clubs in the last few years, but he can't claim to be someone who can compete in the top half of the modern Premier League. He did years ago at Everton, but unless he hits the ground running with either side he will likely be moved on in favour of a continental manager should one become available in the summer.
Whichever way we look at this game, it's impossible to categorise it as anything other than a huge opportunity for the hosts and they're backed to grab it with both hands. In the betting, 'Lyon to Win to Nil' appeals. Lyon have outperformed their visitors in all attacking areas, while they've also done a good job of restricting teams at home, conceding an average of just 0.67 goals at Groupama Stadium. Add in that Brest have scored in only one of their last four on the road, averaging just 0.67 goals for away from home this term and just 2.22 shots on target, and the above selection starts to look favourable.
As always, Liverpool's incredibly effective front three have been central to their progress, and the triumvirate of Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have plundered just shy of 60% of the Reds' total league goals this term.

It's poor Start from Smolevichi this season as they are currently Winless in The Vysshaya Liga ( 3W , 3D ) . On The other Hand, Energetic BGU won three in row at starting of the season but now they are currently on losing run of three games.

In fact Pochettino thought Dier, who was raised in Portugal, was disrespectful when he had a friendly conversation in Portuguese with Mourinho after a game in 2016. Dier has only played three Premier League games for Spurs this season, including Pochettino's last game against Sheffield United - when he was played out of position at centre-back. Another central midfielder, Victor Wanyama, who has managed just 113 minutes this season, may have similar hopes of finding favour again.
His team had won 13 and drawn two of their 20 league games. In the past week he has expressed his views on Twitter and responded to comments made by fans about the restricted opportunities for black managers and how quickly they may be sacked relative to their white counterparts. I was just engaging with people," he explained. It went on to become personal, or all about Celtic and all about racism in football, but that was not what it was all about.

Mario Balotelli was sent off seven minutes after coming on as a substitute in Brescia's draw with Cagliari in Serie A. The striker was shown a second yellow card for dissent nine minutes from time, moments after being booked for a high challenge on Fabio Pisacane. Balotelli will now miss Friday's game against former club AC Milan through suspension. The 29-year-old has scored five goals since joining Brescia in August.
Initially for Lombardy, Veneto and Piedmont. Now we have also extended to Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna and Liguria. In these regions, the prohibition of sporting events remains, for some events we have given the availability to carry them out behind closed doors. Italy, for reasons we don't really pretend to understand, is the third most affected country in the world by the coronavirus, behind China and South Korea, so the caution is entirely understandable.
The clean sheet Bayern secured against their traditional domestic rivals that afternoon was a rarity however – in fact, Die Roten kept their opponents off the scoresheet just four times in their last 13 attempts in all competitions.
The fireworks started at Anfield long before that Premier League trophy was presented to Liverpool on the Kop - normally the beating heart of the club's support but instead adorned by flags on this night of celebration. Liverpool's 5-3 win against Chelsea, a fittingly entertaining finale to their third successive unbeaten Premier League season at Anfield, was played out to the soundtrack of thunderous explosions, red lights in the sky and the smell of cordite.
Lorient will not miss this good opportunity for new three points, they will play at home ground against average club from league 2, which is struggling against relegation, Le Mans is just one place above relegation line, and club with the worst defense in league 2. Lorient is one of the most serious candidates for promotion in current season, so far so good, they are at the top of the standings, with five points above second placed Lens. Hamel will be in attack for host, but also very dangerous for opponents defense will come from the midfielders Wissa and Cabot. Lorient have enough quality to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goal difference

He came close to a second successive hat-trick as Wolves made it 3-0 soon after the break. His low strike thundered off the post but the loose ball was turned in by Raul Jimenez. Norwich's brightest spell came in the opening 10 minutes when Teemu Pukki managed a shot at the near post before Kenny McLean's arrow of a strike from 20 yards was plucked out of the air by Rui Patricio. Canaries boss Daniel Farke might be aggrieved that Wolves full-back Jonny was not punished for stepping on the leg of Max Aarons, who was on the ground following a challenge.

Tennis great Williams joins several other high-profile women, including Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman, in founding the female-majority group. The team name and home venue are yet to be decided, but the ownership group has called itself 'Angel City'.
LONDON, Feb 29 (Reuters) - Chelsea's erratic week ended with another topsy-turvy affair as they eked out a dramatic 2-2 Premier League draw at struggling Bournemouth on Saturday thanks to a double from their goal-hungry defender Marcos Alonso. The Spanish full back headed home from a rebound with the predatory instinct of a poacher five minutes for time to ensure Chelsea avoided a second miserable defeat in five days following their humbling Champions League home loss to Bayern Munich.
Victory, coupled with Fulham's shock home loss to Barnsley, meant that the Whites stretched their lead over the third-placed Cottagers to three points. The hosts went into the game on the back of a run of just one win in seven league games but the visitors could not live with their intensity in difficult conditions. Relive Saturday's EFL actionThey could have gone in front before Ayling hammered in his second goal of the season, while Costa and Stuart Dallas went close to making it two before Patrick Bamford had an effort ruled out for offside as the hosts threatened to run away with it before the break.
However, the possibility has been slammed as ‘hopeless’ by Dr Willie Stewart, who discovered the possible link with football and dementia. He believes that the change does not go far enough. Paper Round’s view: Football’s policies on concussion should be led by doctors, and the more we know the more it seems that taking head injuries seriously is common sense.
BackgroundIn November 2018 the Charity Commission opened a regulatory compliance case into the PFA charity "to explore concerns raised about (its) relationship with the PFA and their management of conflicts of interest". On its website the charity says it "helps support players both during their football career and beyond, in areas such as coaching, education, wellbeing, equalities and community". Over the past year the commission has met with trustees, but now says that "despite extensive engagement (it) continues to have serious concerns which have led to the opening of this inquiry".
Chelsea are being tested at the home of Aston Villa, aiming for a victory that will allow them to increase the difference in 4th place for Manchester United and Tottenham. The hosts are fighting for survival, who on Wednesday "stack" a 0-0 with Sheffield United in a postponed game.

Liverpool scored in their 29th consecutive game in the Premier League; only two teams have ever recorded a longer scoring streak in the competition - Arsenal between 2001 and 2002 (55) and Manchester United between 2007 and 2008 (36). Can they surpass, then match, Arsenal’s Invincibles? Liverpool fans will be hesitant to utter the ‘I’ word given there are still 18 league matches to go.
The referee in real time thought, in his opinion, that the offence didn't warrant a red card. Some might have disagreed with him, including those in Stockley Park, but that's the referee's opinion. Another referee might see the same incident totally differently and he would be entitled to that also. We were told that VAR was there to 'assist' the referee, not overturn his decision. What has taken place, by those pressing the buttons, is bordering on a coup d'etat and Fifa should stop it.
this is going to be great game, second versus the first on the league table and difference between them is 7 points,Hamburg is favorite since they are playing at home but they are not in best shape and also on the other side arminia Bielefeld is very tough team to beat so I think we are not going to see a lot of goals in this match and probably team which score first will win the game or it will be draw 1-1 but either way I think we are not going to see more than two goals being scored here
Burton Albion faces Southend United tonight for the League One. Burton Albion is playing very well this season and are going for the win tonight as they are way better and play at home. Also they lost last year both times they faced and this is the perfect time for revenge. The goals of both teams are quite different the foreigners are fighting for maintenance while the hosts are doing great and fighting for a promotion. The home team are fit and have all it takes to go with the best and compete at the championship. I believe they will win
That loan spell was converted into a club record £9m permanent move 12 months later, and Giuntini takes great satisfaction in seeing his former protege flourishing. It is always complicated for a young player to leave his reassuring environment," he says. But Odsonne probably needed to go elsewhere for new challenges in a different context. Moving to Celtic helped him to grow up. He is performing very well and feels loved by the Celtic fans.
Villa will appear in the WSL for the first time next season, and their head coach Gemma Davies said: "We wanted to finish the season on the pitch and win the league by showcasing the work that players and staff had put in to get us to this point. We put so many hours, so much hard graft and so much passion into this season that it's fantastic to have been rewarded for that. For every player, staff member and supporter, promotion to the Super League is the realisation of a dream that we've all worked so hard to achieve.
Former Spain head coach Robert Moreno says returning national boss Luis Enrique has "labelled me with words that are ugly". Enrique said this week that predecessor Moreno was "disloyal" and would not be part of his coaching team. The pair had been close friends after working together at several clubs including Barcelona. I don't know why Luis Enrique doesn't want me to be with him today," Moreno told a news conference on Thursday.
What blew me away was I wanted them to just say: 'I want to win the World Cup. They said: 'We want bigger than just winning a World Cup. We want, over the next five, 10 years, for the Lionesses to become one of the greatest sports teams in the world, to be talked about like the All Blacks, leave legacies that the young kids of today will always remember. I was like: 'Wow. They're thinking bigger than actually I thought they were thinking.
The backline has conceded a whopping 21 goals in its last seven games and this could worsen as they face a Rennes side well in form. The back four also won't be helped with this game being played in the north-west of France. Amiens have won just one of their ten away games this season with the three points coming against current 17th placed side Metz. They've lost each of their last four on the road and will need to be on top of their game if they want to get a victory here.
Winning titles helped feed Liverpool's soul. Little did they know how long they would be starved. The club have rarely been without hope in intervening years which have brought all the other major trophies - but, in a title context, it is the hope that has killed them. And even on the brink of this crowning achievement, when they stood just six points from their goal, the global coronavirus pandemic halted the season and added another three months to the waiting time, leaving the most pessimistic supporters fearing the season could be declared null and void.
