Umtiti has lost his place since suffering a series of fitness problems after impressing in his country's 2018 World Cup win. Barca boss Quique Setien is uneager to part with the former Lyon man but would bow to the club's hierarchy. Samuel Umtiti of FC BarcelonaGetty Images Paper Round's view: After a great start to his Barca career, it is clear that Umtiti has fallen away and is some way behind Clement Lenglet and Gerard Pique in the pecking order.
But they were the better side in the second half and created enough enough to scores. MAN OF THE MATCH Danny Ward (Leicester): The former Liverpool 'keeper deputised well for Kasper Schmeichel, commanding his box and making a stunning late save to deny Racic.

Immobile has helped the hosts to a record scoring streak. Lazio have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight league games – they have never recorded a longer such streak in Serie A. On top of that, the Biancocelesti have won their last four home Serie A games against Udinese, with an aggregate score of 8-0.
While Leeds are the favourites for the points here, both sides are coming into this one with confidence. Reading have kicked on under Mark Bowen, winning three of their five matches under his watch. They were beaten 1-0 by Brentford at the weekend, which is a potential setback for the Royals as they look to avoid the bottom three.
The second pot will contain the group runners-up plus four more teams dropping down from the Champions League. No team can face another club from the same country or a team that they played during the group stage. So Manchester United could not face Arsenal, Wolves or AZ Alkmaar but could play Rangers in an all-British affair. The seeded clubs will play away from home first, ensuring they have home advantage in the second leg.
It's a blatant foul. VAR needs to step in and it needs to protect the players as well. Saints' disputed penalty Southampton got a penalty when James Ward-Prowse seemed to fall towards Ande GomesTo complete a hat-trick, the Premier League confirmed Southampton should not have had a penalty against Everton. Ward-Prowse appeared to fall into the standing Andre Gomes, although he missed the penalty as he hit the crossbar.
We have plenty of time," Martin said. NIFL to seek extension of 2019-20 seasonBig three sports unlikely to return anytime soon"Coronavirus has slowed everything down, including football. I am not that keen on doing video interviews and much prefer face to face, but we don't know when the social distancing will be relaxed. We are in the early stages of the recruitment process. I do not want to speak about it in any more detail, but we are hopeful of having the new manager in place well in advance of our next international.
Istra Will Play Against Gorica in the club Friendly game on Wednesday. Istra lost 8 of the previous 11 matches in Croatia 1 HNL and lost two of the last three.

They won three and three finished in Draw. These two teams played 12 matches in the last eight years and three of the last four head to head matches between these two teams finished in Draw .
Marseille will against Toulouse in match France Liga 1. My prediction this match can be winning for Marseille with margin score is 2 goals. Marseille have great result on last 5 match in league due to Marseille have won in 3 match and 2 match is draw. Meanwhile, Toulouse have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Toulouse only have draw in 1 match and 4 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Marseille can defeat Toulouse on this match due to Marseille more strong in every home match and Marseille have yet lose in every home match. Surely Marseille have more chance to win on this match.
Mirandes sit mid-table in the Segunda and they are an outside shout for the play-offs but having come up from the third division it would be great just to stay up. He’s an Athletic legend and this has done wonders for his CV and the fact that he could be their next manager. Andoni Iraola, head coach of CD Mirandes during the Copa del Rey Quarter Final match between CD Mirandes and Villarreal CF at Estadio de Anduva on February 05, 2020 in Miranda de Ebro, SpainGetty Images Iraola was an archetypal one-club man until he went to New York join up with Andrea Pirlo, Frank Lampard and David Villa.

Off-colour Everton slip up at home againFour points from a possible six just before the international break would have given Everton fans hope that a corner had been turned after an inconsistent start to the season. Marco Silva's side looked confident in the opening stages against Norwich, but as the game wore on an edginess in the stands seemed to transfer to the pitch, and by full-time that frustration was evident for players and supporters.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Friday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Boavista have drawn a lot of games on the road so far this season and it’s been over a decade since they won at this stadium. Both teams have played to a similar standard so far this season and the vast majority of their league games have produced under 2.5 goals and we’re expecting another low-scoring ninety minutes on Friday.

Karim Benzema scored the only goal in that victory over Atletico, his 18th in all competitions this season. If he didn't put the ball in the back of the net, another Madrid player surely would have. Zinedine Zidane's team are surging with confidence and always looked likely to get the better of a below-par Atletico team.
This is not a vintage Arsenal team or squad but there is a sense of some direction in the opening phases of Arteta's reign. Howe struggles to find a sparkBournemouth's late flurry, which brought Surridge's injury-time goal and some half-chances, cannot disguise the truth that this was a largely lacklustre performance from a team struggling for inspiration and confidence. The Cherries were barely seen as an attacking force until the final minutes of the first half, with the performance of £19m striker Dominic Solanke symbolising their struggles.
Arsenal has big problems right now gone 8 games without a win in the league and sacked their coach Emery who left with all his staff leaving the training camp completely depleted at this moment, and they only drew 2-2 at Norwich game which they really should have lost with Norwich dominating the game while last round it was even worse as they lost 2-1 at home to modest Brighton side.

Gareth Bale broke the deadlock with a deflected effort in the 18th minute on his return from illness which kept him out of the Spanish Super Cup and James Rodriguez hit the bar later in the first half at Las Pistas. Alvaro Romero brilliantly levelled in the 57th minute to delight home fans. However, their joy was short-lived as Brahim Diaz struck five minutes later.
Ashley's stock is so low that placing non-playing staff on furlough and charging for next campaign's season tickets amid the coronavirus pandemic were merely met with a shrug. Protests have not worked and news of an alternative, any alternative, has been met with excitement. They are wary, though, because they have been down this path before only to end up disappointed. How much does Mike Ashley stand to make from this deal?There is a consistent theme from anyone who has had dealings with billionaire Ashley: he is a tricky negotiator and trying to predict what happens next is almost impossible.
If I could bring Mbappe [to Real Madrid]. Hazard told Le Parisien. There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he'll be one of the best players in history. By 20 years old, I'd already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there's no comparison [between me and Mbappe].
This should be a very interesting and exciting clash because both teams are playing very well this season and now they occupy top places in the table. Levski Sofia currently holds 3rd place in the table with a record of 13 wins, 7 draws and 4 matches have been lost till now. The guests Ludogorets sit in first position and 9 points clear But in the last 5 games, the team has no win. In the last 10 direct meetings between these two teams, Guests has won 5 times, Hosts has won once and four times they drew. So I recommend to bet on the result draw for this football match.

Tips are going to face TPS in the cup match in Finland. The hosts of this match play regularly in the third division of Finland and of course, they are lower rank teams than TPS. However, this match is a cup game so everything is possible. I think that Tips might lose this match against TPS but I don't think that they will lose by more than 3 goals. They should score at least one because they play at home and the visitors always struggle on away even against weaker teams. My bet here is Asian handicap +2.5 for Tips

In terms of a correct score tip, unfortunately for the visitors we cannot see them overcoming a home side who have every reason to be confident. The hosts score for fun and have nine in their last three home matches. However, overall they have scored an average of 1.83 goals per game whilst conceding 1.08. This, combined with the fact that Carlisle have conceded an average of 1.75 goals per game on the road, suggests that a 2-1 home win is the most likely outcome.

These are the first two clubs above the relegation zone at this moment with Augsburg having 32 points while Mainz has 31 points and they sit 4 and 3 points above the relegation zone right now with Bremen winning this round and coming with same number of points as 3rd from bottom Dusseldorf right now, but between these two I will favor the guests to win this one not only because they beat Mainz with 2-1 at home earlier this season but because they won recently with 3-0 away from home at Schalke which is stronger than Mainz and played quite well on the road away at a strong Hertha Berlin side in excellent form after the break.

Kean was handed a chance to impress Carlo Ancelotti as he made his first start since 21 January and he repaid his manager's faith with a goal and an overall positive display, with the striker one of the few home players willing to chase down lost causes and make attacking runs. Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton's 18-year-old defender, started for the second game in a row and once again did not look out of place, but too many other players put in distinctly average performances.
I would say a large majority of Malmo fans are disappointed with Zlatan," Bengtsson tells the BBC. Nobody I know defends him. Of course some think the vandalism is wrong but at the same time they understand why people have done it. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 38, returned to former club AC Milan at the end of DecemberThough he never won a trophy in Sweden and played fewer than 50 senior matches for Malmo, the club's supporters used to see Ibrahimovic's globetrotting success as a source of personal pride, thrilled to watch one of their own make it big.
Reigning champions City have already lost four league matches this season and have been held to two draws from their five Champions League group games so far – after being knocked out of the competition at the quarter-final stage in consecutive years.

Ever the hatchet man, Harris would attempt to do the same to Gray’s left-wing colleague Terry Cooper in the second half but succeeded only in tearing right through his shorts.

Tivoli Gardens will host Harbor View for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Perhaps, they will try to dominate on the home field. However, this will not be an easy job. I believe, they are not convincing team. Tivoli have big fluctuations. Also, they have less motivation. In last game Tivoli played in a 1-1 draw with worst Vere United. Also, we have Harbor View who's is also not very good team in this campaign. True, in previous game Harbor View is won 1-0 against Portmore. In any case, I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
Stones were thrown at my wife's boutique, my children were harassed on the street. I received threats after every statement I made. When I had left, they locked up my father—and everything I owned was confiscated. I have nothing left anywhere in the world. Erdogan took everything from me. My right to freedom, the right to explain myself, to express myself, the right to work.
I have nothing but beautiful and endearing memories of my childhood," he says. Living with lots of people taught me that I had to share chores, show respect, work hard. I have worked all my life so I could afford to pay my way and get myself the occasional luxury because my parents couldn't. I would wash dishes, deliver papers, and pick melons from the fields. For me, being able to buy myself my first pair of jeans was a luxury.
Gareth Bale could feature for Real Madrid for the first time in five games after he was named in their squad for Sunday's match against Osasuna. The Wales forward, 30, has not played for Los Blancos since he came off with an ankle sprain against Unionistas de Salamanca on 22 January. He has since missed games against Real Valladolid, Real Zaragoza, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad. Bale had been fit for the last three fixtures but was not selected.
