Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers hopes striker Jamie Vardy's injury is "not too serious" after confirming it is "not his hamstring". Vardy, the current top scorer in the Premier League with 17 goals, was substituted before half-time in Wednesday's 4-1 win over West Ham. He immediately clutched the back of his left leg after clearing the ball and received treatment on the pitch. Hopefully over the next couple of days it will ease off," Rodgers said.

Leicester are currently fourth in the Premier League, ahead of Manchester United on goal difference, as they prepare for Sunday's trip to Tottenham. Asked about his players being linked with other clubs, Rodgers said: "I'm quite relaxed on it. I'm not worried at all. We've got a fantastic squad, a squad we want to keep together. There's no intention to sell Ben Chilwell and there's absolutely no need to sell.
Having faced and turned over one of the clubs they were promoted from the Championship with in the summer at Carrow Road, the Blades will be aiming to repeat the trick when they host play-off winners Aston Villa at Bramall Lane on Saturday.
Four clubs face off for Coutinho Former Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho will not return to Anfield but he could make his way back to England with four Premier League sides interested in taking him on loan next season. The 27-year-old Brazilian is on loan at Bayern Munich from Barcelona, paying his £240,000-a-week wages, and Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs are interested, according to the Mirror.
With Reading struggling, the hosts should make the most of their record at this ground. The Royals have a long-running problem in away clashes, while last year Wigan won seven of 11 meetings with bottom-half sides. As a result, we’re backing a home win in this clash.
Nov 22 (Reuters) - Ukrainian soccer's governing body has defended its decision to hand Shakhtar Donetsk's Taison a one-match ban, saying the Brazilian midfielder needed to be held accountable for his reaction to racist abuse from the crowd. Taison, 31, made a gesture towards Dynamo Kiev fans and kicked the ball into the stands after hearing the abuse during Shakhtar's 1-0 win this month.
I’m struggling to understand why the ownership have persisted in trusting that management team to oversee the building of a Premier League title winning team since Sir Alex left,” he said. If you don’t lose your job for essentially overseeing that investment, that wage bill, and putting that team out on the pitch then I have to say something is really wrong.

He added that, because some matches had been postponed and others had not, the "balance of the championship has been altered. It's a distorted tournament. You just need to think of injuries and suspensions. And there is the psychological aspect when you look at the standings. Third-placed Inter's two postponements have caused them to drop eight points behind leaders Lazio who have played and won two games during the same period.

His tally since the start of 2018-19 puts him joint top in Europe's top five leagues on 21, with Messi and another young player touted as the Argentine's heir - Paris St-Germain and France forward Kylian Mbappe.

With Messi (and his great rival Ronaldo) now into their 30s, inevitably people are looking to the next generation of attacking superstars.

The three of them alone have combined for 57 of Brentford's 79 league goals - more than eight teams have scored all season. One more big game on Wednesday against Barnsley," said boss Thomas Frank after their loss at Stoke on Saturday. I promise you we're ready to fight and play and run on Wednesday night. But five miles east along the north bank of the River Thames, Fulham can still have a say. Having lost to Brentford and then Leeds in their first two games back after the resumption, it looked like Scott Parker's men had lost their chance.
Megan Rapinoe, the outspoken star of the United States women's team who are gold medal favourites in Tokyo provided they qualify, has already criticised the ban and said that "we will not be silenced".

Forest have lost only one clash with sides in the bottom half this season, while they’ve won each of their home clashes with those teams. Those victories have all come to nil, with Forest conceding only six goals at home this term.

They’ve lost four of five trips to top half sides this season, while Forest have four wins in five clashes with Boro.

Earlier, Hellas Verona came from behind to beat Genoa 2-1 and rise to eighth in the standings on 25 points, leaving the relegation battling visitors stranded in 18th place with 14 points.
Osnabruck will host Hannover 96 for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this campaign and I expect another one tough match for both sides. Osnabruck are currently on the 13th place with 30 points. In last game Osnabruck played in a 1-1 draw with strong Armenia. Also, we have Hannover 96 who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 11th place with 32 points. Yeah, they have two consecutive victories. They probably have the motivation to continue the winning track. However, the hosts will attempt to provide a strong resistance. They will probably try to try all three points or even one point.
The result condemned Eibar to their fifth La Liga defeat in seven outings, and Los Armeros look destined to be involved in a relegation scrap based on recent form, with just four points separating them from the bottom three.
The matches to be played without fans in attendance are Udinese-Fiorentina on Saturday and the AC Milan-Genoa, Juve-Inter, Parma-SPAL, Sassuolo-Brescia matches on Sunday plus Sampdoria-Verona on Monday. The other four games -- Lazio-Bologna and Napoli-Torino and Saturday and Lecce-Atalanta and Cagliari-AS Roma on Sunday -- could be played with spectators, it ruled.
After that loan spell at Liverpool, she has been constantly scoring goals and getting in the right positions. She looks athletic, confident and calm. I feel like she has been transformed. She was probably not quite ready to play for Chelsea before she went out on loan. But now England scores all types of goals. I was at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's first game of the season and she scored that screamer against Tottenham and she is one of those players where she has improved so much on both feet, that you can't tell which is her preferred shooting foot now.
Fleetwood made an ideal start as they tried to chip away at their 4-1 first-leg deficit with a Danny Andrew first-half strike but Fred Onyedinma restored Wycombe's three-goal cushion early in the second half. Despite Fleetwood regaining the lead on the night with a Ched Evans penalty they failed to convert any more chances to overhaul Wycombe's aggregate lead and Onyedinma added a second in stoppage time - an equaliser on the night - to end the fightback.
They briefly played together at club level too, for the Greek side Ionikos. Unlike many Andorran footballers, Lima spent a long time in the professional ranks, also representing teams in Spain, Italy, Mexico and Switzerland. He returned home in 2012, and now plays for Inter Club d'Escaldes in the country's top division. He hopes to carry on for a while yet, and win some more international caps, extending his world record as he goes, before moving into coaching.
Read the full story Solskjaer ready to buy Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is another man who wants to add to his squad, and he does not believe that he will be hamstrung in his ambition. The Sun reports that both Jadon Sancho and James Maddison are possible targets for United and the Norwegian manager does not believe the club’s recent struggles will put players off, saying: "United are the biggest and best in the world and I’m sure there’s so many players in the world who want to be part of the rebuild.
We will be having this game from the champion league Where Atletico a time from Spain will be meeting with the away team Liverpool and this game we have given that the away team will win this game or they will give e us a double chance at full-time
this beautiful forecast in Argentina's Primeira Liga, where the Patronato de Parana and the Godoy Cruz will meet tonight. The guests are really in bad form, they have suffered an avalanche of goals in the last games (5 over on 5), I think that even today against the Patronato (which is not a formidable opponent) they will suffer various goals and maybe they will manage to score at least one. The Over 2.5 is perhaps exaggerated at a height like 2.10 and in my opinion it must be absolutely tried, hoping that the Godoy faces the game openly as he has always done during this season. I also the home team to score 2 or more here.
They are unbeaten in six matches, winning their last five. Cardiff, meanwhile, entered the break on the back of a win, the 2-0 victory over Barnsley ending a four-game run without a win. Only West Brom have a better away record than Leeds (10-4-5) but The Whites' recent head-to-head record against Cardiff is a cause for concern.
I really fancy this bet and I say this just looking at how Ludogorets played their 3 visits here at Etar in the league during the past 3 season everytime they scored 4+ goals and in two of those games also conceded one goal as all those games went with even over 4.5 goals scored in them while Etar has some really big losses at home this season for example CSKA Sofia won here with 5-0 in the end and once they start conceding they do mind conceding more being quite open type of team.
Aubameyang at the double as Arsenal edge Everton Slowly but surely Mikel Arteta's influence has gathered pace ever since, making its presence felt at Emirates Stadium and in other arenas on the Premier League map. There have been plenty of draws along the way and, while it's been far from the perfect storm, the Spaniard's impact has not gone unnoticed by the cluster of teams locked in a tight battle to claim European places for next season.
MADRID, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid were once world-renowned for their fitness levels but as they host Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday that reputation is in tatters after a glut of injuries and a decline in performances. The Spanish side have reported 19 injuries this season, with players missing more than 90 matches to the detriment of the team, who are enduring their worst season in eight years under coach Diego Simeone.
The French Under-20 international joined Barcelona back in January this year, but has failed to break in to the first team, making just five senior appearances. Todibo has caught the eye of multiple European clubs, including Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Everton - as well as United. However, the Red Devils are reluctant to meet the 19-year-old's price tag, which is thought to be around £17 million.
The Egypt winger didn't celebrate either goal against his former side - but Roberto Firmino did!Danny WelbeckView more on twitterBorn-and-bred Manchester lad Danny Welbeck left Old Trafford after 13 years and joined Arsenal in a £16m deal on deadline day in September 2015. He returned to haunt his boyhood club later that season in the FA Cup quarter-finals, when he latched onto a dodgy Antonio Valencia back pass before slotting the loose ball around David de Gea and into the unguarded net.
From there, I went on to playing football in the parks, and just getting stuck in during games with boys. I remember one day in Regent's Park a guy walked up to me and said 'I'm a scout for Queen's Park Rangers, I've just watched you play football and I think you'd be really good - come down to a training session and see how you get on'. I was like 'wow' so suddenly I found myself in a training session for QPR girls' under-15s, or whatever, and then I was in the team, so it was training Wednesday and then game Sunday.
But VAR is never used on restarts, and those in charge will surely look at whether there is a practical solution to a loophole that helped decide such an important match. MAN OF THE MATCH Rodri A masterclass in midfield domination, with and without the ball. Everything went through him when City were in possession, and he also had time to score the second with an emphatic header.
Now we have a big match against Tottenham this weekend which I must focus on and be ready for, but it is true I am disappointed I was unable to return home to say thank you because of some problems beyond our control. So, I will return to Senegal as soon as possible because it is something very important to me - I will never forget what everybody did for me, everybody who believed in me and everybody who gave me the chance to play football.
He allowed Martial's routine shot to squirm under his body from a quick Bruno Fernandes free-kick on the half-hour and then, with seconds left, threw a clearance straight to McTominay, who showed great technique to send a long-range finish, struck first time, into the net in front of a delirious Stretford End. It is a win that leaves Liverpool - who now have a 25-point lead at the top of the table - requiring only two more wins to secure their first league title for 30 years and Manchester United only three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, after their first derby league double since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
As has so often been the case this season, Martin Odegaard was the hero for La Real in that first leg. It was his goal that ensured the La Liga side would take an advantage with them when they travelled to the Segunda team's patch. This is the same Odegaard on loan from Real Madrid, the club he scored against in the shock quarter-final win that knocked them out of the cup.
It feels like they need to bring in a couple of 'names' - and I am talking about players who the opposition will instantly respect. It is great that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is giving young players a chance, but there are certain areas of the pitch where they need more of a presence here and now. Andreas Pereira, who was playing in the hole behind United's front two at Anfield, is a good example of someone who does not command enough respect in his position yet.
Norwich are firmly the underdogs here; they have no win in their last five home matches and they have the most losses in the league so far. On the other hand, Wolves are on a good run and have not lost in the last six away matches in the league, though four of these have ended in draws. Wolves have much better quality and have been scoring consistently. They have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 while Norwich have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 15. While Norwich have been poor defensively, they have scored in each of their last five matches, and on the flipside, Wolves have no clean sheet in their last seven away matches. Also, Norwich have seen five of their last 10 matches end in over 2.5 goals. The same is the case for six of Wolves’ last 10 matches. Based on these stats, the best pick is on Wolves to win, but a pick of both sides to score, with the game ending in over 2.5 goals comes with better odds.
Following a pair of 2-1 victories against Valencia and Mallorca, a brilliant hat-trick from club legend Joaquin proved enough to secure a 3-2 triumph over Athletic Bilbao at Benito Villamarin last weekend and Betis' third La Liga success on the spin.
