But obviously the year when we won the Premier League is hard to top. That whole season is my favourite memory. Leicester are flying high in the table again and winning plenty of plaudits but Serge is not convinced by claims that their current side is a better team than the title-winners. He explained: "Is this team better? It is close. You know what? Talent-wise, it probably is a little better but what we had in 2016 was spirit and whatever that magic combination was.
Chelsea's win took their unbeaten run to 28 games, spanning more than 10 months across all domestic and European competitions since being beaten by Lyon in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final last season. Kerr, who collected her first piece of silverware in the English game in just her seventh appearance, sent an early warning shot for Chelsea, turning brilliantly to create space and time to force Manuela Zinsberger into the game's first save after just 58 seconds.
Real Madrid duo Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will miss Wednesday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Valencia. Forward Bale, who has been linked with a move away from Real this month, has been ruled out through illness. Striker Benzema, meanwhile, has a hamstring injury. Both players have not travelled to Saudi Arabia for the four-team tournament, which also includes Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
After a goalless first half, Vardy fired the hosts ahead from the penalty spot after Adam Masina had fouled Jonny Evans. Maddison then made sure of the win in stoppage time, breaking away before slipping the ball past Ben Foster in the Watford goal. The win moved Leicester back above Manchester City into second place, eight points behind leaders Liverpool - assuming the Reds see out victory over Everton in the evening's late kick-off.
Spain is second only to Italy in numbers of deaths due to the virus, with the toll passing 4000 on Thursday. Over 56,000 people have so far tested positive for the coronavirus in the country. The lockdown in Spain is expected to be extended once the initial 15-day measure is completed this weekend. The Debate: Why Sadio Mane must be PFA Player of the Year "Thanks to the close collaboration between the two institutions, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium will be turned into an adapted space used to store donations of medical supplies in the fight against the pandemic," Real said in a statement.
The forward turned down Chelsea that summer "because I still didn't want to be a footballer", while Roxburgh tells a tale of a Turkish FA official at that summer's World Cup finals in Spain asking him how much it would take to tempt the attacker away. As it was, a deal would eventually be struck with Chelsea, but first Nevin and his Scotland team-mates had the under-19 World Cup to play the following summer.
The last eight Inter Milan league games have all had over 2.5 goals scored in them. There have been over 2.5 goals in four of the last five away Inter Milan away league matches. The last four Roma league games have all had over 2.5 goals scored in them. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of the last six Roma home league games.
Aguero will be 33 years old when his deal expires and he has previously expressed his desire to return to boyhood club Independiente in the latter stages of his career. City officials are happy to allow Aguero to control his own destiny” and will only begin to make serious” plans for a replacement once the club legend confirms his decision to leave.
Play behind closed doorsThe two major reasons put forward for why outstanding matches have to be played are upholding the integrity of the competitions and fulfilling broadcasting obligations - reports suggest the latter is more pressing for those concerned. Playing groups of games at quarantined training grounds, or behind closed doors at a neutral venue or even taking them to other countries are ideas that seem desperate.
Kane pulled up after scoring a goal that was subsequently ruled out for offside by VAR in the 1-0 defeat to Southampton on New Year’s Day. Video - Mourinho expecting 'bad news' about Kane injury01:03 Kane has started 20 of Tottenham’s 21 matches so far this season, scoring 11 goals, and is the only recognised out-and-out striker in the senior set-up.
Frank Lampard called him incredible. Alan Shearer said he "bossed it" and Jermaine Jenas named him man of the match - safe to say Scottish teenager Billy Gilmour made an impression in Chelsea's FA Cup win over Liverpool. The 18-year-old attracted praise from players, pundits, journalists and fans as he helped Chelsea to a 2-0 win against Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round. Having played a total of just 281 minutes before Tuesday, has he staked a claim for a regular starting berth and a Scotland call-up? "It was a good match, so it was," Gilmour told BBC Sport.
Seagull and Monkman will delve into Britain's history as part of their new TV series. He has a piece of West Ham's past in his back garden too, after rescuing some of the old turf from Upton Park that had been left outside the groundSeagull's passion for maths is obvious, but so is his affection for the Hammers. He had a season ticket at Upton Park in 2002-03 and his family share two at the London Stadium now.
In this football match between Maldon Tiptree and Newport, I see a victory of Maldon because if we look at the last five games played, we can see that he has won 4 times while if we look at the last five games of Newport, we can see that he has won 2 times. In addition, if we look at Maldon's last five games at home, we can see that he has won 5 times and if we look at the last five Newport games abroad, he has won 2 times. Maldon have already knocked out a league two side and will be confident coming into this match.
Laporte's return is huge for City - he is so important that he gives them a chance to win the Champions League. I don't see it happening this season without him. The good news is he has played around an hour in each of their past two Premier League games so it looks like he will be ready for Real, and they will need him. He is their best defender, and the best at passing the ball out of their back-line, or bringing it forward when they start building attacks.
After 3 wins in a row,Middlesbrough played draw with derby 2 2 and lost from Fulham 1 0 on the road and in the meantime they are out of fa cup from Tottenham but at home they avoid defeat from them and that show how strong at home they really are and that is why I surely expect another win for them tonight because Birmingham is not in good shape they are coming closer to the relegation zone and on the road they are not so dangerous at home and I expect clean win for the hosts and I recommend it
“Fulham” plays well in his field. For eight matches, “summer residents” suffered only two defeats, scoring 15 and losing ten goals. The hosts play quite openly - five of the eight home fights ended in “riding” total.
It would really hurt me if this game ends up in just a 1-1 draw in the end, but I have hopes the hosts can score at least 2 goals in this one just like when they hosted same Ashkelon side in the State Cup competition earlier this season and won the game with 2-1 back than, and both are in miserable form at this moment perhaps the hosts are slightly better but for example failed to beat even bottom of the league Bnei Lod at home in a recent game which ended just 2-2.

All we are doing is ticking over,” he added. It is like starting a chainsaw, leaving it on the floor, stopping the blade going around but you can hear the motor running. We are ready to go, but when that will be who knows?“The way this virus is escalating I can’t see in a couple of weeks things changing. However, Holloway's view is not shared by all other clubs. A line in the sand’Rochdale chief executive David Bottomley believes next season should be prioritised over going on to complete the 2019-20 campaign.
Footballers, like the rest of us, are fallible: they peak and they trough, they have good days and bad days and, also like the rest of us, could do with a little cajoling or scolding now and again. It has become fashionable to condescend the concept of passion, or 'pashun', but commitment to a team, its aim and its ambition represent one of those intangibles that can provide marginal advantages at the elite level.
Despite providing Pellegrini with a significant transfer budget, West Ham saw results nosedive this season following an injury to first-choice goalkeeper Lucasz Fabianski. Even going into the Leicester game, it was hoped the Chilean manager would turn the situation round. But Leicester's victory with a virtual reserve team left the Hammers hierarchy fearing a change had to be made in order to save their top-flight future.
It is the question, if home side is able to face their rival on the equal level, and if they are having lineup ready to play at the good performance at the time. Visitors are full of the financial back, and they are being one of the top rivals in the second level in the country. They are going to make issues to a lot of members of the first league, and Sportivo may experience a lot of problem in this game.
The 33-year-old is likely to initially get a one-year offer. Paper Round’s view: This would be a remarkable U-turn if Giroud did stay at Chelsea beyond this season. However, he has impressed recently in place of Tammy Abraham and, even if Chelsea do sign another striker in the next window, then he is a good back-up option.

Drawn football is no stranger to Turkmen football. He knows them well, and the features of the team are from the middle of the standings. But today is not quite met. Only half. The guest team is just the same representative of the same field of the middle peasants. But who accepts them at her place, she stands in my opinion on the pre-last place in the table and does not perform very well. After six seven rounds about these things, you can already draw conclusions. But do not forget that these teams have exactly a third of the matches drawn in a draw. Two matches in six rounds is very much more. Moreover, a strong team plays in their field
Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund face each other on 5th game of the group phase. The hosts are way stronger than the visitors. The visitors have a good team, a great team actually bit are not performing well at all. Barcelona have been inconsistent but lately are being very dominant. I expect Barcelona to win at Camp Nou but the draw line at over 4.5 is just too big. They drawed last time and Dortmund even though are not on great form still have a word and I believe the draw has a lot of value in this case n
Saints added that "all activity at Staplewood Campus, St Mary's Stadium and our other sites continue to be suspended except for essential activities" due to the coronavirus, with the situation to be reviewed at the end of April.

Midfielder Pogba played only his ninth club game of an injury-ravaged campaign and managed 34 minutes, in United's first game since the season was halted in March by the coronavirus pandemic. He completed 17 of his 18 passes, won the ball back four times and managed two blocks, with Solskjaer describing the performance as that of an "all-round midfielder". Solskjaer - who had called before the match on Pogba to show his leadership qualities - said: "It is great to see him [Pogba] show his qualities and the contribution he made was big in us getting a penalty.
Olimpia welcomes Cerro Porteno in round 6 of the Apertura. Both have 10 points so far but also a game at hand. Libertad has 16 points but Olimpia expects some points from the game against Guarani so they could be on top. Olympia plays the Copa Libertadores in March but Cerro Porteno already plays it and they played just 3 days ago vs Barcelona. They lost that game 1:0 and the return is in 3 days' time so rotations are expected. Olimpia will be the fresher team in this match and they rarely lose against Cerro. Santa Cruz scores for fun recently and he will carry Olympia to a win today, with some goals spared, I guess

We really like the way that Aaygun96 attacks. He is assured in possession and every pass is carefully thought out. If he was as impressive without the ball, we would be predicting a win for him. He's shaky at the back though and we see Shellzz taking advantage of that weakness. Back City to win this match.
They dominated in the middle, too, even after James Ward-Prowse's move to right-back following Cedric Soares' first-half withdrawal due to injury. And after Redmond opened the scoring with a brilliant finish, they rarely looked back, with Armstrong testing Palace keeper Vicente Guaita several times before eventually beating him early in the second half.
But the spectre is there. As executives talk about the season finishing "if at all possible", the implication it won't be possible is left hanging. At least one club official who, a fortnight ago, was insisting the campaign would be concluded, is now admitting it might not be. The working groups trying to find a resolution on behalf of Europe's governing body Uefa, the European Clubs' Association and the European Leagues have heard the chatter too.
United will face competition from both Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund who are also battling for Merten's signature. Paper Round's view: United are desperate for more attacking options and Mertens would be a very smart signing. He might be 32 years old but the Belgian is still scoring goals for fun for in Italy.
Probably two or three years I think," he said. Earlier, he had told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast that there was "no consensus" between countries regarding finishing the domestic season, as each country faces different situations regarding the virus and government decisions. France's top two divisions, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, will not resume this season after France banned all sporting events, including those behind closed doors, until September.
Sergio Aguero had a decent case for a penalty waved away, but in the second half Kevin De Bruyne sealed the points with a fine goal to cap an impressive performance, as Man City moved four points clear of third-placed Leicester, their opponents on Saturday evening. It proved to be a productive night for the Citizens, with returning defender Aymeric Laporte getting 60 minutes under his belt, while Benjamin Mendy completed the game.
Having sat top at the start of November, they're now five points adrift of the play-off spots in ninth. Only three stands but a five-star performance from OldhamAn ongoing dispute means that only three stands of Oldham's Boundary Park home are open on matchdays. In addition, the League Two club were served with a winding-up petition by HM Revenue and Customs on Friday.
Interim boss Freddie Ljungberg "has Arsenal DNA" says club director Josh Kroenke, who revealed Unai Emery's sacking had been discussed for "weeks". Former Gunners midfielder Ljungberg was promoted from his coaching role after Emery was dismissed on Friday. We feel he is the right person in the moment to take the club forward," Kroenke told the Arsenal website. We started to fall short of several goals that we set.

The charges relate to Valcke's time as Fifa general secretary between 2013 and 2015 when he is accused of influencing the award of media rights for Italy and Greece. A further bribery complaint against Al-Khelaifi has been dropped after Fifa reached an "amicable agreement" with the Qatari businessman at the end of January, the statement added. Those allegations were in connection with the award of media rights for the World Cup tournaments in 2026 and 2030.
Tebas revealed three start dates are currently being discussed with Uefa, saying: "Of all the different scenarios we have been looking at with Uefa to go back to competing, the most probable ones are 28 May, 6 June or 28 June," he said. We can't say an exact date. This will be given to us by the authorities in Spain. But we still have time to get back to training before that. Tebas says La Liga is not contemplating a failure to complete the domestic campaign, which still has 11 rounds of matches to play.
That's my decision. I won't make the decisions again, but that's what I think. It is not the first time an Arsenal player has been involved in a controversy after being taken off at the Emirates Stadium this season. Granit Xhaka reacted angrily to home fans booing him as he walked off the pitch during a match against Crystal Palace in October, and was subsequently stripped of the club captaincy.

Davies in particular has drawn plenty of plaudits for his electric play so which of the two are quicker? “It’s him,” Coman replies, “We’ve already done some testing at Bayern, it’s him. If it’s speed in slaloms or turning I think I’m a little faster but in a straight line it’s him. Coman says he has never timed himself over 100 metres as he feels he is quickest over the first 15, that’s where he gets his advantage.
What next?Leeds are back in the Midlands on New Year's Day for their 'second v first' clash with Albion at The Hawthorns.
