I started watching the Premier League in 2013 when it was shown a lot at the recording studio we were using in New York," he explained. I'd always watched football when I was a kid, but I didn't have a favourite English team. I got home after recording had finished, and kept watching, but I needed a team to root for. I didn't just want to go for a 'money' team - one of the best sides, who are always going to win - so I looked at the table and picked the teams who were ninth, 10th and 11th, and decided it was going to be one of them.
PSG have won each of the last nine clashes between these sides. Tuchel’s men have conceded in three of their last four trips to the principality. PSG’s conceding hasn’t been the best lately. Just when it seemed like Monaco were building up a head of steam, they went and blew it away to Bordeaux last week.
Nine minutes later, Salah's backheel to set up Keita was far too good for the three defenders gathered around him on the edge of the box, and the Egyptian's goal - Liverpool's third - came 10 minutes before Bournemouth striker Wilson then had to be replaced. It depends on the extent of their injuries, but Ake and Wilson could miss the Cherries' trip to fourth-placed Chelsea next Saturday - which is already going to be a tough task for Howe's team.
PSG are unbeaten in their last 11 Ligue 1 matches. Three of the last six meetings between these teams featured both teams scoring. Lyon have scored in each of their last 7 away Ligue 1 matches. A highlight of the Ligue 1 fixture list, Paris Saint-Germain host Lyon in the capital this Sunday night. The imperious champions are way out in front of the competition at the top of the table.
He has been with the club since the age of six, and won his first senior England cap against Bulgaria in September. Did you know? Mount is the youngest Chelsea player (20 years 311 days) to score a goal for England since Jimmy Greaves in November 1960 against Wales (20 years 277 days). Todd Cantwell Club: Norwich CityAge: 22Position: MidfielderSkill, pace and an eye for goal. Todd Cantwell has been Norwich City's standout performer despite their disappointing return to the top flight.
Everton begin the weekend in fifth place while Liverpool are one from bottom in the table. The home side have won six and lost six in the league but are not in the best of form coming into this game. Four of their last five league games have been lost, the other being a home win over Reading, who have lost four of their last five away matches.
I want to say that in the last few weeks and months we've been speaking to other coaches about the future, that's our obligation," Bartomeu said. The work had been done and so this was the right time to make a change. Barca sporting director Eric Abidal said new coach Setien fit with the club's ideas on attacking football.

His ability to rile everyone from rival fans to Pep Guardiola, his coach at Barcelona, is legendary, and a statue of him in his home town of Malmo has been defaced recently after he acquired an ownership stake in Stockholm rivals Hammmarby. The contract with Milan runs to the end of the current season with an option for another year, and though a lucrative move to China or the Middle East cannot be ruled out, this may be the last time he signs for a big club in a top league.

Manchester United had wanted to sell the 29-year-old central defender but there are no takers, which have led them to compromise in order to get his wages off the books. Estudiantes chairman Juan Sebastian Veron is close to persuading Rojo to come back to South America ahead of the Copa America. Paper Round’s view: Rojo has only extremely infrequently show the aggression that made him a success at the 2014 World Cup for Argentina, a series of performances that led Louis van Gaal to take him to Old Trafford when he became manager.
Barcelona's Champions League game against Napoli on 18 March will be played behind closed doors at the Nou Camp because of coronavirus concerns. It is the second Spanish-Italian Champions League fixture at which supporters have been banned, following Valencia versus Atalanta on Tuesday. Getafe's game with Inter Milan in the Europa League suffered the same fate. Paris St-Germain's Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday will also be closed to fans.
The 25-year-old damaged his cartilage and lateral meniscus in a challenge with Brighton & Hove Albion's Adam Webster and had surgery in September but is now back training on grass on his own. Third-placed City, who failed to replace Vincent Kompany in the close season, have struggled during Laporte's absence with fellow central defender John Stones also battling injuries, and the side are 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.

We're also predicting a 1-2 success for Sociedad in the correct score market, as they are averaging 1.73 goals per game this term, but have conceded in six of their eight away matches. On top of this, Valladolid have netted in four of their six home games, only failing to net against Real Madrid and Sevilla.
Lazio in top form of their lives are into this game after going 5 league games unbeaten, it looks like they have lost the fight for the top position against Inter and Juventus, but they 5 straight won games is a big challenge to both teams showing that they are still in competition to become the Champions. After 17 matches, they have acquired 39 points, scoring 40 goals against 17. This game is very important for them to reduce the points from Inter and Juventus to 3 points.

Players accept that matches will have to be held behind closed doors when the football season resumes, says Professional Footballers' Association deputy chief executive Bobby Barnes. Football in England is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic, although the Football Association, Premier League and EFL want the season to be finished. In an ideal world we'd be playing in front of crowds but I think it's more a case of there being no alternative," Barnes told The Athletic.
Nonetheless, Barcelona closed out an important victory. TALKING POINT - This was the most interesting tactical match of Quique Setien’s Barca reign so far When Setien was appointed Barcelona manager we were told to expect a tactical showcase from a man with great ideas on how the game should be played.
It made everyone feel 10ft tall. It was a masterstroke by Roberto - it was brilliant timing to bring in the psychologist when he did. More than anything, he got the players thinking, and it probably brought them together at exactly the right time. Who is Michael Finnigan? He had helped golfer Darren Clarke win The Open in 2011 and was working with Everton boss David Moyes when Wigan beat them 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Montreal Impact boss Thierry Henry took a knee at the start of his side's MLS game with New England Revolution to support the Black Lives Matter cause. The former France, Arsenal and Barcelona striker knelt for eight minutes and 46 seconds. That is the time black American George Floyd had his neck knelt on by a police officer before he died. It was just to pay tribute and show support to the cause," said Henry, whose side lost 1-0.
Have Sheff Utd secured the signing of the January window? This is a player who, for a brief hour earlier this week, was said to have been seen at Carrington, ready to sign for Manchester United. He has developed a big reputation thanks to his performances in Belgium, the Champions League and internationally for Norway.
We just looked at it and looked at the personnel we had. We can always go back to that or we can stay with the three [at the back]. So we're flexible with whatever formation we want to play. The new system allows Lennon to play an extra central defender, as well as full-backs like Greg Taylor and Jeremie Frimpong in more attacking roles on either wing. Yet the manager thinks the addition of an a second central forward is the most important element of the tactical switch.

While football talk show presenter Josep Pedrerol implored Real president Florentino Perez to “kick Bale out”, some fans believe the flag stunt was a ploy for Bale to force his way out of the club. He was set to leave Real for China earlier this year but the transfer fell through at the 11th hour following a change of heart from Perez, who has been Bale’s biggest ally during his time in Spain.
Unai Emery says Xhaka will be in contention for the home game at 3pm, in what could be the midfielder’s first match since telling fans to ‘f*** off’ after he was jeered off the pitch. Video - Spanish giants chase new Arsenal captain Aubameyang - Euro Papers01:19 Here’s predicting a mixed reaction, but as is so often the case, the jeers will make the headlines should he actually feature.
Chelsea were battered by Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, so realistically they only have the top four and the FA Cup left to play for. In the Premier League, they have a fight on their hands - in November they had a nine-point advantage over the team in fifth place but that is now down to three. With the FA Cup, it will obviously improve their chances of reaching the quarter-finals if the Reds put out another weakened team.
LONDON, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho fears bad news about the hamstring injury that forced striker Harry Kane to hobble off during his side's 1-0 defeat by Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday. Kane, scorer of 27 goals for Spurs and England this season, pulled up late in the second half after having a goal disallowed and left the ground on crutches.
Nurnberg will host Erzgebirge Aue for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Aue is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 37 points. However, Are is not very good team away from home. I think, visitors will have not be an easy task. On the other hand Nurnberg have advantage at home stadium. However, the hosts are in poor shape. Nurnberg are currently on the 15th place with 29 points. They have two consecutive losses. So, I expect another one tough match for both sides. My pick - draw.
In January, Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell was linked with other clubs - such as Chelsea and Manchester United - which as a player is a huge compliment. However, the flip side of so much speculation can affect you. I can't say what he is thinking or feeling. Nobody knows what goes on inside someone's head. But when I was involved in transfer speculation as a player it was in the back of my mind.
This would not help Blackburn, who gave Leeds an allocation of 7,700 for their game at Ewood Park on 3 April and, at £40 each, would have generated more than £300,000 from the visitors alone. A closed-doors end to the season would cost Luton between 10% and 15% of their income for the entire campaign. Collapsing transfer marketIn talking privately about his club's own position, one Championship executive spoke of his relief that a couple of potential January signings did not happen.
But a failure to get there with this squad could not be viewed through the same prism. Hardly anyone in the game thinks it is a 'top four' squad. And Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay - who are three of the most important players in it - are all injured. I think deciding Solskjaer's fate on a top-four finish would be unfair - and is unlikely to happen. Faisal Khan: Is Mauricio Pochettino likely to take over at the end of the season?It is possible - whether it is likely, I don't know.

Should be a clear away win here watching Atalanta playing really well against Juventus last round at home despite losing 3-1 the game they had the lead 1-0 and even pushed for a 2-0 lead but ended up losing by 2 goals difference, in the Champions League they won their first game this season at home with Dinamo Zagreb winning the game with 2-0 and have chances alive for that 2nd place or at least 3rd place.

When Lukaku left for Inter, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described him as one of the best 'target man' strikers in football but suggested he would not operate as well in the more fluid frontline he was planning to implement. Lukaku himself disputed that claim, insisting he is a better player when he is facing the goal and Conte has shown faith in him to play as that type of striker. Playing alongside Lautaro Martinez, the pair have struck up a deadly partnership, scoring 23 goals between them in Serie A.
In the meantime our Colney and Hale End training centres will undergo a deep clean and our other club sites are operating as normal. Managing director Vinai Venkatesham said: “The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus is. Our thoughts are with Mikel who is disappointed but in good spirits.

Veteran winger Joaquin went round Courtois and looked to be slipping the ball into an empty net but was denied by Luka Modric's goal-saving interception on the line. The Belgium international goalkeeper also made a stunning save to tip Nabil Fekir's thunderous, first-time strike over the crossbar. After taking the lead through Sidnei's superb effort, the goalscorer went from hero to villain by bringing down Marcelo inside the area and allowing Benzema to equalise.
The first fell out of the number of applicants for the European Cup next season, although it is possible temporarily, because the distance is still pretty decent, and there are still enough matches, but I'm not sure that they are very pleased with the coaching staff of Valencia. The hosts need points to continue the fight for the Europa League, while the guests, having secured themselves from relegation, no longer claim to be anything. In the last game against Real Madrid, the “bats” looked very good and the score, in my opinion, was not in the game. In addition, Valencia plays very well against Osasuna in their field - in the last 12 personalities on the Valencia field, guests only once managed to catch a draw.
Burton is playing some really high scoring games lately, for example in the FA Cup in their last fixture they were big favorites as they met a club from the 4th league level in Northampton and everyone though oh how lucky we are we are going to make it past another round in the FA Cup but they ended up losing the game with 4-2 in the end, another very poor display from their defense there and they have not been better in recent league games either.
Al Ahly is not only winning all the games played by them so far in league, Super Cup, or Champions League but they are demolishing their opponents won a game with no less than 9-0 at home in the Champions League and won big their last two league games as well as they are once more the best club in Egypt they have not played a game for a couple of weeks but they are for sure too much for the hosts to handle here and will back them to win this game here even by more than one goal difference.
