But there are still occasions when they are not quite at it, which you can put down to their manager's inexperience. Media playback is not supported on this device Hazard or Sterling? MOTDx pundits argue over team of the decade There is no love lost between these two teams, and no-one has ever been able to tell me why the two sets of fans detest each other so much. I think it is Spurs who will get bragging rights this weekend but, even if they do not win this game, they are certainly back in the race for the Champions League places now.

Earlier in the campaign at Station Park, Rovers ‘escaped’ with all three points courtesy of a Keiran MacDonald header deep into added on time.

Reaction to the Premier League final dayJamie Vardy wins Premier League Golden BootFernandes transforms Man Utd After Fernandes had made an impressive debut in a goalless draw at home to Wolves on 1 February, Manchester United stood 14 points adrift of Leicester City, who were third. Fast forward to his decisive role in this victory that sees United qualify for next season's Champions League by taking that third place, and you can see the extent of his impact.
Hurst recalled: "When you look at the film of Martin after his goal in the final you can see him flicking his fingers out. He said the exhilaration was like an electric current running through his hands. He was a fantastic player, a natural footballer who was totally and utterly devoted to the game. It was the high watermark of his England career and future World Cups would provide bitter disappointment for Peters and Ramsey, the manager whose aloof public profile was at odds with the complete devotion he inspired in his players.
Troare skips past Winks, feeds Jimenez who releases Doherty on the right. He centres, it bounces off Gazzaniga and leaves Jota with the simplest of finishes. GOAL! Tottenham 2-3 Wolves (Jimenez): Oh my, Wolves have the lead for the first time and it's a goal worthy to win the game! Jota embarks on a lung-busting run as Spurs back off and then rolls it across to Jimenez who leaves Tanganga in his wake before burying it past Gazzaniga.
Guardiola has since gone on to have success in Germany, where he won three Bundesliga titles in as many seasons with Bayern Munich, before moving to England and guiding Manchester City to back-to-back Premier League triumphs. He's a type of guy where it's all about evolution every time," said Villa. He knows it's not the same playing in Spain, England or Germany, with different styles. I'm not with him now and don't have the opportunity to know him day by day, but I am sure with his mentality that he's always finding new ways to bring soccer to another level.
That level-headed approach is a key factor in the club over-achieving so often during his seven and a half years in charge. He watched on as Jay Rodriguez scored that penalty, the second goal in a 3-0 win. It means Burnley are eighth in the Premier League - pushing, impressively, for European qualification.
The use of VAR has been surrounded by controversy and many fans feel it goes far beyond its original remit — to review the most glaring mistakes — and that decisions are taking too long. In the English Premier League, where VAR was introduced this season, critics have complained that the video referees -- who watch the game on monitors in an enclosed room -- have been taking the main decisions rather than officials on the pitch.
My agent Darren Dein spoke to Arsene [Wenger], he didn’t give him an answer to be honest, then we had to wait one full week to see if Arsenal responded," Fabregas told the Arsecast podcast. Definitely this was my first option, in my mind I’m telling everyone I’m going to Arsenal, this is what I want.
The focus is on Pride Park on Thursday night, as English football gets its first big arrival of the transfer window. The hosts have pulled off a coup with Wayne Rooney arriving at the club. After announcing the deal in the summer and with Rooney sitting on the sidelines at the club since November, there’s been a huge build-up to this one.
The performances - who played well and who was off their game - didn’t matter. All we wanted was for them to get over the line. There was a bit of panic when Karren Brady suggested that cancelling the season was a possibility but that won’t happen. It was scaremongering. Ultimately we’ll win it and I’m delighted for the younger supporters.
Rumours that Mourinho is set to formally adopt Ndombele, in order to get him into his household and so torment him further, have been made up just then by the Warm-Up. Sorry. But in the spirit of taking the positives, at least nobody’s ever going to question Tanguy Nomdbele’s commitment again. Training through injury is one thing.
This would eventually be relaxed to allow unofficial competitive fixtures between regional sides in "Wartime Leagues", some of which were broadcast on the BBC, in recognition of the role the sport played in the health, wellbeing and morale of the country. Unlike the First World War, there was a cup competition - the Football League (War) Cup, the finals of which regularly drew crowds in excess of 50,000.
The picture for this game has been distorted by the last couple of results, which have seen Preston draw two games scoring just one goal. With Reading winning back to back home games their hopes are being talked up here, but things should be very different at Deepdale. This is a different challenge for Preston, who have been ruthless going forward in the Championship this term.
Sheffield United in sixth-place will now be in their sights, as they aim to avoid finishing outside the top-six for the first time in 25 years, while they also remain in both the FA Cup and Europa League competitions. Blunt MagpiesThe appointment of Steve Bruce as Newcastle boss to replace the popular Rafael Benitez was not universally well-received by supporters but the ex-Manchester United defender has responded to critics with a decent debut campaign.
The Premier League has featured some of the world's best players since it began in 1992. But who should be the first two inductees when it launches its Hall of Fame?With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero ineligible as they are still playing, we've put together a pretty handy list of 10 players with a strong case to be included. Some legends miss out - you may well think Paul Scholes or Eric Cantona should make the list, for example - but we've attempted to balance things like longevity, key statistics and major honours won.
Embrace the underdog' Tyrone Mings is mobbed by fans after Villa's 2-1 extra-time win over Leicester in the semi-finalFor Villa boss Dean Smith, coming up against a team as strong as Manchester City is nothing to fear as his side head to a League Cup final for the first time since 2010. We're massive underdogs against a world-class team," Smith said. But I can only name one or two other teams who wouldn't be underdogs going into the game against City.

Albion have lost just two of their last seven matches, and armed with the momentum from a positive run, they are well worth considering in the double chance market against a vulnerable looking Everton team.
However, gambling related-harm has made the lives of two million people miserable. It leads to hundreds of people each year taking their own lives, leaving families and friends devastated.

Werder Bremen have fared well versus Wolfsburg in recent times. They haven't lost to Wolfsburg in any of their last seven meetings in all competitions. Wolfsburg may not be looking forward to facing a bogey side like Werder Bremen after winning just one of their last five Bundesliga games.
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.

United have already decided not to sign Ighalo permanently, but manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would like him for the rest of the season, given they are still in three competitions and could play up to 18 games in just over two months. A lifelong United fan who has scored four goals in eight appearances for the club, Ighalo wants to stay at Old Trafford if possible. However, negotiations with Shanghai have proved difficult, with the Chinese Super League club insistent the player returns as planned.
Going into a game I don't play to make the full-back position 'sexy'. I just think a lot of people underestimate how important the full-back position is. It's vital in the sense you've got to be up and down the pitch, creating things but also defending. I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I'm playing 'sexy' football or not. How are you so good at crossing? Practice really.

We can't react to all the noise outside," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday. There'll be criticism, you've got to take it. You've got to be stronger mentally. I am, the club is, the staff are very strong mentally and we're sticking to what we believe in and I've got full faith. Solskjaer pointed to Liverpool's long-term recruitment project since Juergen Klopp took charge in Oct.
So, the resilience they will need was definitely there. If I am being honest, there was not an awful lot of quality from Villa for most of the game, but they fought tooth and nail to stay in it right until the end. Even with my Villa hat on, I have to admit they were outplayed at times and City deserved to win, but it was a very good sign that they were only beaten by a single goal.
Wellington Phoenix enter the game this weekend following a terrible start to the season that has seen them pick up just one point and concede nine goals. The New Zealand side look low on confidence but by picking up their first point of the season last weekend, against Melbourne Victory, could have a renewed vigour. The side can count themselves a little unlucky to be in this position though, and look to be underperforming across the board with the majority of their stats at around the same level as their competition. Something will need to change for Ufuk Talay’s team though as they already find themselves five points off the playoff spots.
Belshina reserves and Vitebsk reserves will face each other in the upcoming match in the Reserves league. Belshina reserves this season have the following results: 2W, 2D and 4L.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says there needs to be a "big reflection" at the end of the season on how to improve the video assistant referee system.

No doubt sponsors would have had an input in which was more important. They are the ones paying millions after all. Paul McDevitt: It's not Liverpool disrespecting the club or Villa, bit a clear own goal by the EFL standing on their own principles. No VAR required to work that out. Premier League Babble: People complaining about respect for the competition should look at the stats. Liverpool team took it very seriously and Villa showed respect with their professionalism and ruthlessness.
Rather than give you a pointless answer, we take our three points, worry about ourselves, watch the others teams and think about the FA Cup. On Olivier Giroud: "He is always going to give you a desire to get in there for the team. He had a few half chances in the central area. That is what you have to do when he is in the team - use his attributes. He has scored important goals. He has never given me a problem, always trained well.
