It's baffling given the number of chances that they created across those two matches. That could be said of City's season in general. A look at the expected points table shows that they could be ahead of Liverpool if their finishing was better and defending more reliable. No team has scored more goals than City (65), yet the reigning champions are still substandard considering their high shots-per-game average (19.

Champions League qualification will increase United's chances of signing England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for a start.

BBC Sport understands a bid in that region for Sane - who is ready to return after spending all season on the sidelines recovering from knee surgery - would be dismissed out of hand. It is accepted that City would not currently be able to command the £100m they were looking for last summer, but they would still require a significant offer to consider selling a player who was a key figure in their 2017-18 Premier League title-winning squad.
It's now just one clean sheet in Mourinho's first 10 games as Spurs boss. But after the restart it was much more like the Spurs of old. Inspired by Kane's fine equaliser, the brilliance of Lucas Moura and the introduction of Eriksen, there was much more pace and drive about their approach play, their interplay was promising and through Alli's fifth goal in seven games, Mourinho's men returned to winning ways.

As they so often do, Reims are fancied to win this fixture in low-scoring fashion. Punters can profit by siding with 'Reims to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. Strasbourg's record on the road points towards them struggling against a very sturdy host. While the visitors have struggled for goals on the road, scoring in only two out of nine, the hosts have kept teams quiet, keeping a clean sheet in 50% of their matches. We shouldn't expect Reims to run riot, though. After all, more than three goals have gone in in just one of their ten home games this term, while only two of Strasbourg's away games have involved four or more goals.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Zach Binney, a PhD in epidemiology, says no sporting events will take place without a Covid-19 vaccine, with Binney also throwing practical doubts on the ability to hold games behind closed doors. However, with vaccines not expected until the second half of 2021, we could be waiting some time to see our teams again. Even if that prediction is a touch on the pessimistic side, is it really feasible to shoehorn games in either over or after the summer to get the campaign done, whether in front of a crowd or not?Should we rip up the whole process and start again?No, bear with me here, it's a valid question to ask.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. SATURDAY Liverpool v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)A lot has been written and said about Jurgen Klopp's side, who have now lost three of their past four games in all competitions.

Derby are currently 16th in the Championship under manager Phillip Cocu, nine points adrift of the play-off places. On the challenge facing him in the Championship, Rooney added: "The difference here is it is a very tight league. We're not where we want to be but we're not too far off the play-off spots. This league is about being consistent. Without a doubt [the play-offs are still achievable]. I've lost the Premier League title with about four minutes to play, it's not even Christmas yet so there's a long way to go.
The first 2 games of the season for the hosts were really not that high scoring as they first won with 2-0 away from home at the champions from Klaksvik and than won their second game with 3-0 at home against Argir but their weak opponents had some big chances to score even back then, while next 5 games have been really high scoring on their side losing twice with 4-2 first time at home with city rivals from HB Torshavn a very good game, and second losing 4-2 at Vikingur.
It effectively means the case could run for a further five weeks after a verdict is announced.

To be honest, thank God I took that decision. I know it can be controversial with the Arsenal fans but these five years I’ve been very happy there. We won everything in England. The most winning team in English football in the time I’ve been there, playing some great football at times. With the fans there’s been a connection, we always had a great understanding.
The encounters of these two teams, MKS Cracovia Krakow and Zaglebie Lubin, in the Polish Ekstraklasa have always been scant in recent years. The results were draws or with max. a goal difference.

Brescia has played a draw in last round against Cagliari, but they are still in dangerous zone, with just 15 points after 20 rounds.

Karren Brady’s risible demands to “void” the season, conveniently sparing West Ham from relegation, have thankfully been ignored and although all professional football has now been suspended until April 30, the declaration that the season will be finished – somehow, somewhere – is a step forward in this uncertain interregnum in all of our lives.
