Yes, you have to look at the individual as well, but I've got to say Giroud's been nothing but a class act and a top professional since he's been here, so I don't envisage any issues from him on that front," Morris said. The former Chelsea midfielder deputised at the news conference for manager Frank Lampard, who took training on Friday but has been troubled by illness. Several Chelsea players have also suffered from the bug, including England defender Fikayo Tomori, who is a doubt for Sunday's FA Cup fixture with Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.
Read the full story Dembele 'determined' to join United in summer Manchester United target Moussa Dembele is reported to be 'determined' to complete a move to Old Trafford this summer, according to the Sun. The French forward has been linked with the Red Devils since Romelu Lukaku left the club last summer.
Gorodeya Res. will host Batteries for this fixture of the league. Both teams are one of the main outsiders in this campaign. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. Also, both teams are currently bottom of the table. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors are favorites in this game. Of course, the visitors have a poor results. Nevertheless, they have better team than their opponent. I expect, the visitors will try to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - BATE 2 to win.
Paper Round’s view: Ed Woodward has a history of failing to complete transfers due to incompetent haggling strategies and it seems that this could be another case of the executive vice-chairman managing to blow an easy but important deal. If the move does fall through there are no obvious alternatives for United with just under two weeks of the transfer window left.
RC Lens is playing very well at the moment. RC Lens is 4 points behind the top team. RC Lens are having 50 points and they are confident of winning points in this match. RC Lens have a home field advantage, and they only have to meet the bottom team in this round, 3 points is within their ability.
Further, none of Palace’s “matchday casual” staff will be left “disadvantaged financially” if games have to be cancelled or played behind closed doors. Interestingly, Parish goes on to say that “we are not anticipating this to be the case”, which suggests a certain official optimism as to the season getting done.
They could not have hoped for a greater reward. It is a gift that football has given us. Deserved because the merit belongs to everyone, to the players, to the club, and it is something that, above all, we have to enjoy - you have to enjoy it very, very much," boss Alfaro said following the draw. We are going to give an image that Ibiza is alive in winter, not only in summer," added Alfaro, who played alongside new Barcelona manager Quique Setien at Racing Santander from 1993-1996.
If that is passed, the individual divisions will vote on how they wish to proceed, with the league saying a majority of at least 51% will be required to curtail a season. EFL chairman Rick Parry, giving evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee about the impact of coronavirus at the start of May, said the current season realistically needs to be concluded before 31 July because of issues around player contracts.
They come into this cup tie having lost three of their last four games and conceding sixteen goals. Their most recent match saw them defeated 6-2 at Trabzonspor and that took them to 42 league goals conceded this season. They conceded five goals in the last round of the Turkish Cup as they defeated Manisa FK 6-5 on aggregate.
Paper Round's view: It's a clever way of structuring a payment to their star player. Sporting have probably accepted that Fernandes will leave soon. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur both held interest in the Portuguese over the summer, but Spurs' bid - which activated the bonus payment - was eventually rejected.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Bobby's prediction: If I had gone off my analysis I would have put 1-1, but there are occasions like this one you have to slightly ignore overall stats because of exceptional circumstances that overrule the data. In this case, it is Freddie Ljungberg's first home game as interim manager and the crowd are going to want get behind him, and significantly so. I expect that support to roar the Arsenal players on.
Watford captain Troy Deeney says people told him they wished his baby son would contract coronavirus after he chose not to return to training. Deeney did not want to put his child, who has had breathing difficulties, "in more danger" and raised concerns over the increased risk to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) players. He is due to resume training next week. I saw some comments in regards to my son, people saying: 'I hope your son gets corona'," Deeney, 31, said.

Millwall will host Derby County for this fixture of the league. I believe, both teams are one of the ambitious teams in this league. Also, I believe, both teams have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. Of course, Millwall have advantage at home stadium. However, Millwall is very unpredictable team. On the other hand Derby are in better shape lately. They have two consecutive victories. Also, Derby have an effective attack in recent times. In previous game Derby is won 3-0 against Blackburn. So, both teams tend to score a goal. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory.
However, I must admit the France international has handled both United's festive fixtures with a certain authority. Watching the way he collected the ball from Andreas Pereira and slotted the pass into the Burnley net with such confidence, I may have to review my position. Did you know? Martial has scored more Premier League goals (41) and had more goal involvements (61) than any other Manchester United player since his debut in September 2015.
Dukla Prague and Sokolov will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2 in Czech Republic. Dukla Prague this season have the following results: 12W, 2D and 9L. Meanwhile Sokolov have 4W, 5D and 14L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Smolevichy-STI will be aiming to amend their bad start of the season, after 3 league games without victory, losing to likes of Isloch, Vitebsk and a draw against Dinamo Brest 1-1 away. They have been in struggle form since the league start, the opponent in this game is another strong one that needed the points like them. Scoring just 1 goal in 3 matches shows lot of under confidence and lack of goals creative from the team, but I believe this is a big chance for them to show what they can do in this league.
Rangers head into the match as the clear form favourites, unbeaten in their last nine matches and winning their last six in all competitions, but Feyenoord’s form has improved of late and the hosts haven’t lost any of their last four games which include two wins and two draws. Rangers are yet to secure three points on the road in Group G, drawing 1-1 at Porto and losing 2-1 in Switzerland against Young Boys, while Feyenoord have picked up a 1-1 draw at home to Young Boys and beat Porto 2-0 in their other home game.

But I'm doing my job here, I'm doing my best. I was focused on the semi-final and now I'm focusing on the final. Representatives at Barcelona could not immediately be reached for comment. Before the semi-final against Al Rayyan, Al Sadd's sporting director Muhammad Ghulam Al Balushi said Xavi had been negotiating a move to Barca.
The introduction of Ryan Christie proved key. It was his inch-perfect delivery from the left that found Jullien, who still had plenty to do but his deft volley was sublime and flashed past Southwood. And shortly afterwards Edouard buried Accies by powering forward, exchanging passes with Tom Rogic, and sliding the ball into the net.
While most teams will go through spurts of bad form through the season, it’s always a concern for a newcomer. Charlton’s struggles are a real worry given that they’ve just come up from League One. The hosts had put themselves in the top six with their early season form, but now the Addicks are slipping towards the danger zone.
If Philadelphia want to secure a wild card position, this is the kind of game they just have to win. Form has been a bit inconsistent of late but the defeats have been narrow ones. The Giants were 2-2 for the season at one stage but now have a 2-10 record and probably can't wait for the season to end. Go for the Eagles to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
Another match from Germany Bundesliga for today where I probably see home win, but similar like in few other matches, where I was already bet on goals, I will do it here, same, because I don't know, after this long break, in what form this two rivals are currently. In October last year, this two rivals are played last official match and in that duel, who was played in Berlin, it was scored even five goals and Hoffenheim was better 3-2. I believe this match can be similar, so that will be my option for this match, it is real.

The hosts have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions while Utrecht have lost their last three matches in the Eredivisie, so you can start to see why we have backed Groningen with a double chance bet this weekend.

This is another match from Belarus Premier league who will be played today and I will take this brave option, on over 2,25. Neman is solid and I believe that they will survive this season in league. In this moment, they are at home have 1-1-0 what is pretty good. Energetik BDU is so far more than good, and this team is have so far as a guests, 1-0-1. What will happened this time, we will see, but I in any case see here at least two goals, and maybe even more than that. I will try that and we will see.

Porto forward Moussa Marega walked off mid-way through his side's win at Vitoria Guimaraes, saying he was subjected to racist abuse from fans. Marega, 28, started to walk towards the dugouts in the 69th minute, nine minutes after scoring what would prove the winner in Porto's 2-1 victory. He pointed his thumbs down and also raised his middle fingers to the crowd. Team-mates and opposition players tried to persuade him to stay on, but he was eventually substituted.
Brentford shouldn't be in this position, they should have clinched automatic promotion ahead of West Bromwich Albion. However, the team that had won eight games in a row lost the last two and then the play-off first leg. They now have to turn their season around or it'll be another season in the Championship for them.
They however have three wins in the last four home matches. Their good run at home stretches way back – they have one loss in 19 home matches. In 2019, they have played 23 matches at home and lost just two. Back to the Champions League, they head to this game on two straight losses. They have five wins and three losses in their last 10 Champions League matches but they are unbeaten in eight Champions League matches at home.
Chelsea's 2-1 come-from-behind win at their London rivals kept them fourth in the table despite their struggles against the Premier League's lesser lights in recent weeks. Lampard's men lost to West Ham United, Everton and Bournemouth before outclassing Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur, then were beaten by struggling Southampton before their stunning late comeback against Arsenal.
Angelino, Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden could have made the scoreline embarrassing for the visitors in the first half and their wastefulness might have been the one cause for concern for a perfectionist such as Guardiola. Bernardo Silva's excellent strike - twisting and turning on the edge of the box before an unerring finish into the bottom corner - was much more like it, though. Media playback is not supported on this device A brilliant finish from Bernardo Silva doubles Man City's lead Fulham were generous opponents, sticking with their approach of playing out from the back, and Jesus was the second-half beneficiary.

The match was the last of United’s 11-day trilogy. On 16 May, they beat Spurs 2-1 at Old Trafford to win the Premier League title, pipping an utterly magnificent Arsenal team by a point. On 22 May, four days before Barcelona, they beat Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup final. The disparity between the sides was such it felt like a pre-European Cup final friendly.
Only Southampton duo Che Adams and Shane Long (one goal between them) and Sheffield United's David McGoldrick, who has not scored this season, have fared worse. We have to find a way of getting him into the box'A glance on Twitter shows the frustration from some supporters with Joelinton's performance against Arsenal, with one "trying to figure out the purpose of Joelinton and struggling to make any case for his inclusion in the side".
Kelly's goalscoring exploits will no doubt have caught the eye of England manager Phil Neville this season, as she looks to add to her solitary appearance for the Lionesses in November 2018. And with the January additions of Izzy Christiansen and Hayley Raso to the Everton frontline, the young England star is looking forward to learning from some of the best.
Ayew magic seals win for Palace over West Ham Jordan Ayew's magnificent late solo goal earned Crystal Palace a 2-1 come-from-behind home win against West Ham United in a lively festive derby at Selhurst Park. It looked as though honours would be even but Ayew produced an incredible moment of skill, pirouetting on the edge of the area, jinking past a West Ham defender and dinking a cool finish over West Ham keeper Roberto Jimenez.
