With Fulham losing four of seven league matches and each of their last three home FA Cup games, we think a 2-1 Villa victory is the way to go.

Brighton buoyed but search for win goes on This could yet prove a crucial point for Brighton, who are the only team left in the top four divisions not to win this year.

With Celtic having swept aside Ross County 4-1 in Dingwall earlier in the day to not only add to their points tally but their goals advantage over Rangers, the onus was on Steven Gerrard's side to respond.

FAVRE PRESSURE Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre's position seems far from secure after they had to come back from three goals down to draw 3-3 with promoted Paderborn, with club boss Hans-Joachim Watzke emphasizing football is a results-based business. Lucien you continue to have our trust," said Watzke, addressing the coach in a club members' meeting.
Paper Round's view: It's completely understandable if Dean Henderson wants to head back to Bramall Lane next term if he isn't starting for Manchester United. De Gea is such an influential player at Old Trafford and he has been a starter at the club for nearly nine years. It will be tough for Henderson to push De Gea out of the first team, but if Real Madrid make a move, it could make the decision for United.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that was the first step in a return to normality. I always said we don't want to rush anything, but I don't think it is rushed. I hope that we are now in England on the right side of the thing. It's all about when - but you need to re-open different parts of life again," Klopp told Liverpool's website. Everybody agrees about that. I think the way how we do it now with the Premier League, it's now a good moment to do it for the football teams.
While Barnsley have struggled over the season, they have avoided defeat in 60% of their home games this term. However, with a 10 game gap between the first and second victories of the season, we don’t see them claiming three points in this one. The pair have drawn two of their last three meetings at Oakwell, while the Royals have failed to win seven of their last nine trips in the league. Barnsley have drawn 2-2 on three occasions at home this term, so we’re backing a repeat.

Converted winger Son Heung-min has carried the attack to great effect when Kane has been injured in the past, but he is not, according to Mourinho, a real striker. Son is not a striker. Danny Rose can play right wing but he's a left back. Simple as that. Davinson Sanchez can play centre forward tomorrow but he's a central defender," Mourinho told reporters at Tottenham's training ground.
LIVERPOOL CHANCE! Keita sets Salah free on the counter. The forward takes it beyond Schmeichel, who races out of his area, but then fires into the side netting from a tight angle. Mane was screaming for Salah to square it to him in the middle too. GOAL! Leicester City 0-1 Liverpool. Firmino plants a header beyond Schmeichel from TAA's lovely left-wing cross.
MOURINHO: MY PLAYERS ARE EXHAUSTED It is another worry for Mourinho whose Tottenham side are unravelling after an initial revival when the Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino.

We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced when these two sides lock horns on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of Colchester.

Yes, we start with the fantastic news that a club expelled from European football for two years due to financial cheating continued their dominance of the domestic cups with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the final of the League Cup.

The Frenchman’s future remains uncertain after his agent criticised the club strenuously, with the Telegraph carrying the following damning quotes: “Pogba’s problem is Manchester United.

Zaha has created 28 chances this season, ranking him 46th in the Premier League. His best seasons for chances were 2017-18 and 2018-19 when he made 53 and 54, ranking him 20th on each occasionFor upwards of £70m, which is what Palace wanted last summer, I'd expect someone to get me 15 goals a season and a load of assists, otherwise I'm not doing the deal. Wilf's stats don't meet that criteria but you can't say that is just his fault because they're also affected by the system he operates in.
United have struggled for consistency in Solskjaer's first full season as manager and have won just two Premier League games since beating City last month.

Puzzled? It is hard not to be, but it seems Ancelotti is bewitched by the idea of building a project and proving he is not only a manager for the big occasions but also one who can lay foundations and create a winning team. Everton are rumoured to have been interested in Ancelotti for some time, since the Italian lost his job at Bayern Munich, if not before. His success at working in highly pressurised environments and the bond he creates with his players - not to mention his tactical nous - have long attracted them to the winning coach.

One reason to take the over 2.5 goals bet here is the fact that Yeovil won with 3-1 away at Aldershot earlier this season and Yeovil despite going 4 games with 3 defeats and just one draw in front of their own fans at this moment they had good results at home till a month ago and are fighting for promotion no doubt about it still with solid results on the road and scoring goals just that their defense is not that solid.
Premier League staff and media crew would also have to be isolated. By putting the dates back to the summer, more effective testing systems should be in place, and there should be capacity for the health service to spare workers and accommodate any injured players. The Independent story claims that players are focused on finishing the season, behind closed doors if necessary.
Mary's on Saturday. The Saints are thirteenth in the table, two places behind their midtable counterparts. Ralph Hasenhuttl has done a remarkable job with his side this season, managing to march on and contend for a place in Europe after suffering a record-equalling Premier League defeat. That 9-0 battering at the hands of Leicester left Southampton in the relegation zone after ten games; it was the type of defensive display that explained their positioning.

Now I know that if I sprint every minute, I will not be able to make 10 matches in a row! It took a lot of maturity, I played a lot of games despite the injuries. I have progressed a lot.

It's not broken or something but it's very swollen and that's the problem. Asked for more information about the incident, Hasenhuttl continued: "He runs through the kitchen and hit against the table, or something like that.

For me it is quick, attacking, flowing football with the right intent. There is no intention to take it back to the keeper. We have players with pace, quality and skill. I wouldn't want James, Lingard, Martial and Rashford running at me. Sir Alex Ferguson, left, and David Gill, right, watched Saturday's game at the EtihadUp in the directors' box, Solskjaer's mentor, Sir Alex Ferguson, certainly enjoyed the 2-1 win at Manchester City.
English Premier league. Team Wolverhampton Wanderers will play at home stadium with team Norwich City. Hosts did 2 draws in league at last matches. Now they are coming after a victory in Europa League. Norwich City have the last place in the table. They didn't score at last 2 matches played. It is time to do it. They still keep chance to stay in Premier league for next season . So, they have a big motivation to get points today. My bet will be on Norwich City with AH +0.5. Hosts played midweek match in Europe League. They are not so fresh .
Sheffield United start 2020 just two points off fifth place in the Premier League table before a first visit to leaders Liverpool for 13 years on Thursday. If I had to name a manager of the year midway through the season then it would be Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder," BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson said. The great thing about them is they have shown every promoted team that they do not have to spend fortunes if you're well coached, well organised and difficult to beat.
