That was a chance. Fabianski is hobbling off with what seems to be a pulled thigh muscle, looking devastated. He has been replaced by David Martin. BIG CHANCE! A long clearance by Martin goes right down the middle of the Sheffield United defence. Egan doesn't get his back header right and Anderson rushes onto the loose ball, only to drag his shot a yard wide of the post with an open look at Henderson from fifteen yards.
Eleventh in the Championship table suggests there is plenty of work to be done. Read the full story Woodward plans early transfer business The Mirror runs a story that argues Manchester United’s executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward, is planning an early move to the club’s summer business. The United transfer head is a fan of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, and will offer the 19-year-old England international £200,000 a week.
The form of the two clubs suggests that a draw in the most likely result, as Walsall are unbeaten at home in their last three matches and Stevenage are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions with the visitors picking up three draws during that period.
Who scored the most goals? Who kept the most clean sheets? Which player was the league's top shooter/passer/tackler? Oh, who cares?BBC Sport ignores the information you can find elsewhere and digs into some of the more interesting stats of the longest, strangest Premier League season on record. The more things change. Before the Premier League's restart on 17 June there was much interest in how the 100-day hiatus might affect the game - would we see a boat-load of goals, a greater number flying in late in matches against knackered defences or a huge increase in away wins like in Germany? Off the field things were certainly different, with stringent safety measures in place and testing twice a week to combat coronavirus, as well as eerie, empty stands on matchdays.
Hull City is number 21 in the table. They played 37 games and won 41 points with a goal difference of 49:63. At home, they have a record of 6-3-10 with a goal difference of 27:33. They have three defeats in the last three rounds.
We're devastated by the decision" - Truro boss Paul WottonTruro City were top of the Southern League Premier Division South and eyeing a return to the National League South. Manager Paul Wotton feels the FA have treated lower-league sides differently to how they will deal with professional sides. The bottom line is Liverpool would take the FA to court, we haven't got the money to do that," he told BBC Radio Cornwall.

There's an expectation on you and if you've got a big transfer fee and you're young, sometimes it becomes difficult. Let's hope it just gives him that bit of confidence. You saw the difference in him at the end. We can't ask for more than a home draw in the next round. If we treat Oxford with the same respect we showed Rochdale in the first half we've got a chance.
AZ have scored in all of their away games this season and a majority of Sparta’s defeats this season (5) had a margin of 2 goals or more while the majority of AZ’s wins (10) have been obtained with a margin of 2 goals or more, making a 2-0 final scoreline look even more realistic this weekend.
Inter have Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez up front, who have 25 Serie A goals between them this year, and this partnership is unlikely to be broken by Giroud, for whom the bench – once more – awaits should he go to Italy. Pogba’s staying… for now An easy prediction (cue frenzy over private plane flying from Manchester to Madrid on Friday evening), helped by the fact Paul Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola suggested the Manchester United midfielder’s future will be resolved in the summer.
The Celtic goalkeeper made a number of stunning saves including one to deny Ryan Jack from range in the first half. Forster also prevented in-form Rangers striker Alfredo Morelo from finding the back of the net on a number of occasions. A four-minute spell in the second half saw Celtic take the lead completely against the run of play when Jullien got on the end of a free kick delivery before Jeremie Frimpong was sent off moments later for felling Morelos in the box.
TALKING POINT History-makers Liverpool march on. It wasn't vintage, but once again this Liverpool team got the job done. The Merseysiders completely bossed the first half but had to dig in to grind out the victory as Spurs improved markedly after the interval. A 12th straight PL win means Reds are now undefeated in 38 league games and have scored in 30 consecutive top-flight encounters.

Red Star Belgrade is excellent team, but in the same time, they are not so strong like they were two years ago, at least I think so. I was watched them in two matches against Tottenham when they are lost 5-0 in London and later, 0-4 at home in Belgrade. They just not have players who can play on good level against the strongest teams in the world. Bayern is playing better and better and after 3-0 in first match at home against this rival, now, it will be even more easy win. I believe they will easy win here.
Villa stay on track for a merry Christmas Meanwhile in the Championship, Aston Villa remained on track to head into Christmas unbeaten as they beat London Bees 2-1 at The Hive. It's now eight wins from nine games this season from Gemma Davies' side, who have a three-point lead over Sheffield United at the top of the table, with visits from Leicester and London City Lionesses remaining this year.
The list of people turning out to heap praise on him is eye-watering. When you lost against him, you couldn't get upset," says veteran Italian keeper Gianluigi Buffon, "because he won with such style, that it seemed fair. A very normal person, who perseveres, and that's why he's so loved," adds Lionel Messi. You have an image of an idol," explains Neymar, "and then you speak to him and he's totally different, you know?" "I try to treat others the way he's treated me," says Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Meanwhile, River Plate find themselves back where they were last year; on the cusp of lifting the Libertadores title. Los Millonarios saw off arch rivals Boca Juniors to win the trophy last season and travel to Peru desperate to retain it and win the competition for a third time under boss Marcelo Gallardo, who would put the cherry on the cake of his eternal legacy at the club with victory.
S. Soccer. They have repeatedly declined our invitation to meet on the premise that our proposal does not include U. S. Soccer agreeing to make up the difference in future prize money awarded by FIFA for the Men's and Women's World Cups," the letter said. Molly Levinson, a spokeswoman for the players, said the letter was "riddled with falsehoods" and that it "included the smallest number of games possible, designed to leave out all tournaments, including the SheBelieves Cup being held right now.
Former Everton and Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell is training with Sheffield United. The 28-year-old, who has three England caps, is a free agent after leaving Blackburn Rovers in the summer and was linked with a move to Roma in October. He is obviously a very talented player who should be playing in the Premier League regularly, but for one reason or another isn't," said boss Chris Wilder.

A superb, instinctive stop. CLOSE! Mata is inches away from scoring from a free-kick! His left-footed curler goes narrowly past the far post as Ruddy, who gambled on him going the other way, remains motionless. OFF THE BAR! The two subs are involved straightaway as Fred finds Greenwood and he plays in Rashford, who takes a touch or two and then sees his deflected shot loop onto the bar.

There probably is in most manager's contracts," Rodgers said. It's all hypothetical, all these types of situations. I think for me in this moment we've had a brilliant win today. My focus is very much with Leicester. I've been very fortunate in my career to work with some brilliant clubs and some great institutions.
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has backed striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin's England chances after injuries to Tottenham's Harry Kane and Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. England skipper Kane is out until April with a hamstring issue while Rashford faces at least six weeks out with a back injury. Calvert-Lewin, 22, has four goals in six games since Ancelotti arrived. Of course he can play for England," said Ancelotti.

The lack of form demonstrated by both of these sides means that backing either on the win-draw-win market is not the safest way to go. The hosts may be out of form but they are capable of good performances on home soil and given that 62% of their points have come in front of home soil, we think they are set for a solid result this weekend. However, the defensive record of the visitors is hard to ignore and means that we think backing over 1.5 Lincoln team goals is the way to go.
Messi picked up a sixth Ballon d’Or in Paris on Monday night as Ronaldo – who finished third – remained in Italy to receive the 2018-19 Serie A Player of the Year award in Milan. It means Messi moves one ahead of Ronaldo in terms of Ballon d’Ors won, but Mendes said his client remains the greatest ever player.

This was followed by the UK government giving the go-ahead for elite competitive sport to resume behind closed doors from 1 June. Clubs unanimously voted to resume contact training in the final week of May, having started non-contact training the previous week as part of Project Restart. Premier League players and staff will continue to be tested twice a week, with any players or staff who test positive self-isolating for a period of seven days.

The Times claim that the league’s top six clubs met in secret on Monday to discuss their response should the Premier League not honour their three promotion slots. Leeds, West Brom, Fulham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Preston were at the meeting ahead of a wider conference call of all 24 Championship clubs on Tuesday.
However, by the time they lifted their first national title in 1980, they had grown to become one of the best supported clubs in the country. The early 1980s quickly became their own golden era. The team was spearheaded by legendary Brazilian playmaker Zico and claimed a stunning sequence of success - four league titles and the 1981 Libertadores Cup, followed by that aforementioned Intercontinental Cup triumph.
Tottenham are only two points ahead of their opponents on Tuesday, but they find themselves in much higher spirits than their Manchester-based counterparts. Former Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho has breathed new life into the Spurs squad, overseeing a win in each of his opening three games and pushing them to within six points of the Premier League top four.

And yet before the game is over, we are forced to deal with these two individuals, who think it's okay to behave in this way. Wolves strongly condemned the behaviour of the fans arrested and said they would support the Sussex Police in their criminal investigation. Greater Manchester Police arrested a 41-year-old man over the weekend in connection with alleged racial gestures and chants in Saturday's match between Manchester City and Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
We are going to the first division game in Spain where Celta de Vigo face Alavés for this 30th round. Celta vigo remains 4 games without winning and I think that today they will have a very difficult time adding the three points against Alavés who arrives after winning against Real Sociedad 2-0 and I think they can score points today at a very good odds.
However, another lapse from the Tykes' back line enabled Barkhuizen to grab his second on the stroke of half-time, bursting into the box to beat Samuel Radlinger. Alan Browne might have stretched Preston's advantage further after the break, heading wide from a free-kick. Harrop was also off target following a one-two with substitute David Nugent, while Barnsley failed to carve out any chances of note during a tame second half.

Going blow for blow with a team like Zamalek will still be a big ask for the hosts but confidence will be unquestionably high coming into the match. Indeed, El Entag El Harby are now unbeaten in 5 matches across all competitions and having won their last two outings, they have plenty of momentum behind them.
Alianza Lima have the better form heading to this clash, but what may come into play here is the ability to get good results in the Copa Libertadores. Domestically, Alianza have done well, but here, Nacional holds the advantage. While Nacional have managed five wins in their last 10 Copa Libertadores matches, Alianza have registered just one win in 17. It has been worse on the goal scoring front; Alianza have scored in just four of their last 15 Libertadores matches. Based on their continental form, we are backing Nacional to win this one.
The only references to the pandemic were the by-now familiar non-handshaking pre-match team greeting and a PA announcement saying there was no guarantee next week’s match at St Albans City would go ahead “in these difficult times” - but that the beer and food outlets would be open all afternoon. I’m more worried about us going down than I am about catching this bloody bug,” said 75-year-old Archie Harrison, adding that he had supported Hamlet since 1964.
