The ex-Crystal Palace man is so good in one-on-one situations that Carragher instead suggested matching him up against a player who is more willing to float inside and force Wan-Bissaka to make difficult decisions about where to position himself.

We have always have 100,000 or more people who want tickets for our games. Challandes said it had also been difficult to make travel arrangements for the team.

Man City needed victory over relegation-threatened QPR on the final day to edge out rivals Manchester United, who were away at Sunderland, on goal difference. Pablo Zabaleta gave City a first-half lead but, in an atmosphere of near hysteria, QPR equalised through Djibril Cisse then, despite losing Joey Barton to a red card, went ahead through Jamie Mackie. Manchester United were winning at Sunderland and winning the title as the board went up for five minutes of stoppage time.
It is the inherent problem that comes when one man is responsible for both the commercial and footballing sides of the business when he is an expert in one of those things and a novice for the other.

To be fair to the Gunners I thought they did enough to get something out of this game but Mings once again played a leader's role and kept Aston Villa's defence as tight as a drum. I've no doubt some hearts might have missed a beat when Eddie Nketiah's header hit the post and then bounced into Pepe Reina's arms but apart from that it was a terrific defensive display. Read the Crooks of the Matter below and find out why I think Villa will now survive.
It is a bit of the Spanish football as well and you have to adapt but we knew it and I feel we handled it pretty well. Video - Rejuvenated Smalling prompts transfer frenzy – Euro Papers01:27 Defender Andrew Robertson was disappointed with the tactics from Atletico but was keen to get to Anfield.

I learned we can carry the virus without having symptoms, that's why I recommend everyone to follow confinement measures and avoid contact with other people, as much as possible, even if you feel well. Valencia had travelled to Milan last month for a Champions League match against Atalanta, which was played in front of a packed San Siro stadium, before restrictions were placed on sports events in Italy -- the country in Europe worst hit by the coronavirus.
Auxerre has played last four matches at home ground with a draw result, including a duels against first placed Nnacy and last placed Orleans, tonight they will play against Sochaux, club with five points above them at standings. Visitors will play with strong defense, they have lack of efficiency, on last round, at home ground against Paris FC, they attacker Sane has missed a penalty, they are without victory since 8 November, more than a two months, so their major goal in this duel will be to avoid defeat. Auxerre wants three points from this duel, but they will not play risky, their attackers Sorgic and Dugimont are not so effective. Most realistic result would be a draw
A Marquinhos double, Edinson Cavani's 200th PSG goal and a goal by Kylian Mbappe put them on 65 points from 26 games - but they lost captain Thiago Silva to a muscle injury and Neymar picked up a straight red card for a late challenge in stoppage time. Bordeaux, who scored through Hwang Ui-jo, Pablo and Ruben Pardo, are 12th on 35 points.
Chelsea could be in for a couple of goals themselves too as they face a Man City side that have conceded two or more goals on four occasions this season.

I'm not sure that home team will win in this match, because this season, they are mostly have problems with defense and teams who are playing good from counter attacks, often are make problems to Partizan. Team is not so long ago played in big city Derby 0-0 against Red Star but they are played very bad in attack. On the other side, Radnicki Nis is team from southern Serbia and in last two-three seasons, they are became third strongest team in this country. They will surely score here at least one goal and rest will do the Partisan. Over is ok.
The host are the clear favorite here with 8 wins 6 draws to their name and an average of two goals per game. While their opponent have won 3 drawn 3 but lost 6 in the run, they are out of form coming to this fixture. Head to head De Graafschap have dominated only the last time they met did the host lost 2-3 at home to their opponent and so I see them revenging and winning same at home this time around. I see over 2.5 goals because both the teams will be playing to grab all the three points.

Paper Round’s view: Using neutral grounds would allow for clubs to avoid problems if their cities were particularly hard hit or were under specific lockdowns, and importantly it would dissuade fans from assembling outside their grounds and potentially spreading the virus to other people.

United is no longer a football club, it's an institution. I feel the demands are beyond one human being. Returns as Manchester United manager on a temporary basis after his successor Wilf McGuiness is sacked. I'm getting tired of a lot of things, I thought when I gave up the managership I was going to get a bit of peace and quiet. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case.

He was brilliant not only because of his talent but his maturity on the pitch," the former Tottenham manager told Sky Sports in February. His knowledge about football surprised me. He was a young player who had a capacity to talk at the same level as a 30-year-old player. For me, he's going to be one of the best coaches when he decides to be a coach. He has the capacity to be one of the greatest, for sure.
