And while United recently impressed with wins against Tottenham and Manchester City, they were lacking Pogba's creativity during their 1-1 draw with Everton on Sunday "It's games like the Everton one, for example, when you are lacking that one creative pass or idea," said Solskjaer. He has the quality not many midfielders in the world have, so it would be great to get him back.
And if you can’t quite call it total perfection, those two dropped points against United mitigate against that, it is as close to being perfect as could possibly be realised within the boundaries of professional sport. We don’t go for perfection, we go for a perfect reaction,” said Klopp. We try to fight back in difficult situations in games, which is what the boys did again.
While this game will be a welcome distraction for the hosts, it's probably not what Peterborough need. Posh have moved in the wrong direction of late in League 1 and they'll likely want to rectify that ASAP, so an away FA Cup game against Premier League opposition isn't exactly what the doctor ordered.

Kilmarnock are to furlough the majority of employees - including players and coaching staff - until the end of May. The club will supplement wages of those on the job retention scheme, which pays 80% of salaries up to £2,500 per month, so that nobody's income is reduced. Manager Alex Dyer and head of football operations James Fowler are among "a small number of employees" who will continue to work from home.
The result left Southampton 12th with 34 points from 27 games while beleaguered Villa stayed 17th on 25 points, one above the relegation zone.

The biggest thing is the Fabinho injury, that's massive," Klopp told BT Sport after the game. It's early and we all hope it's not too serious but it's pretty painful and in an area you don't want to have pain, around the ankle. Emery under pressure Good morning! Welcome to live coverage of Thursday's football stories.
Saints can take heart from how they battled for so long with 10 men and they will need to show those battling qualities once again with tough trips to relegation-threatened Norwich and Watford on the horizon.

Deportivo Aves U23 will host Rio Ave U23 for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. However, Rio Ave U23 are more ambitious team in this campaign. I believe, the visitors have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. In any case, I expect, the visitors wil ltend to score a goal. Also, we have Deportivo Aves U23 who's is really better team at home. Hosts have a great results on the home field. They have five consecutive victories. Of course, the hosts will try to continue with the winning results. I think, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.

Those results have rather ruined Osasuna's dancecard in Pamplona after they went unbeaten in their first six this term to bolster last season's unbeaten record at El Sadar; however, Jagoba Arrasate's men still rate as a pretty reliable proposition in attack in front of their own supporters.
The Norwegian denies the allegation strongly. I never put myself before the team," he said. I put the team and the club before anything else. Yes, he had minor discomfort but he had scans. We monitored him. We have to manage players every single day. There are loads of things Ian Wright, or anyone else, doesn't know about.

Sheffield United have scored six Premier League goals via substitutes this season - more than any other club; two of those have come against Bournemouth (Billy Sharp in August, John Lundstram today). Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has now scored in two of his last three Premier League appearances (two goals), having failed to find the net in 15 consecutive appearances prior to this. Bournemouth's Wilson is one of only seven English players to have scored 40 Premier League goals since August 2015, the month he made his debut in the competition.
The visitors have lost by two or more goals in three of those five losses, so we can see Lazio opening up a solid margin. Cremonese’s recent trips to top-flight opposition in this competition have both been 3-0 defeats, losing at Atalanta and Hellas Verona. Now they’re facing a rampant Lazio side who have won by two goals or more in six of their seven home league wins this term.

I like to read. It can't always be work, work, work or it will grind you down eventually. Van Dijk, Edouard and his captainHe says Virgil van Dijk has been his best signing and that Odsonne Edouard is as good as anything he's seen up front for Celtic since Henrik Larsson. The most significant player on his watch has been Scott Brown. He's an outstanding captain and an outstanding footballer and that gets overlooked sometimes," he says.
I didn't get another job for nine years. Until we admit it, nothing will change'Barnes believes football is no different from society in general and his view is that the first step to resolving the problem is to admit it exists. Where do you see black leaders in mainstream institutions?" he said. The first thing is to own it. People will agree with you [on bias] but say it's 'not at our club'. People think that racists are people who throw bananas on the field and hurl abuse, and if we don't do it, we're not racist.
A low-scoring game looks on the cards here. Neman Grodno have had some good home performances but remain inconsistent. Their opponents have made a steady start to life in the Belarus Premier League and are six points above the relegation zone. Just six goals in seven games though and two in four away matches. Bet on under 2.5 goals in this match.
If the case was to be expedited then it could be heard by July. Video - Arsenal’s ‘top target’ available for €40m this summer - Euro Papers00:57 Missing out on a Champions League season would cost City as much as 100 million pounds ($129. If City won a 'stay' but CAS then upheld UEFA's ban, after the 2020-21 season was underway, then the club's two-year suspension would take effect in the following two seasons.

Leicester v Liverpool (20:00)It is a big positive for Liverpool that they have had a week away in the sun together and, while it was not cracking the flags in Qatar, it was warmer and it was a nice change of scenery to train in. Of course they brought home the Club World Cup too, and if you put all of that together it was perfect preparation for this game. Leicester, who lost at Manchester City, will not roll over and they have got a decent record against Liverpool in recent years.
Of course in this match it is clear which team is enormous favorite for the win and the only question is how many goals ajax Will score and I think the answer on that is at least 4 because Sparta is very good opponent for them and in head to head matches they scored 4 or more goals a lot of times in last couple of years and 4 goals could be enough for them to win with 4 goals difference but I even expect from ajax to score 5 goals and to secure this handicap which I surely recommend
The same aerial threat happened on Sunday, only this time Rangers made it count. Christopher Jullien and Ajer weren't always alive to the movement around them. They got away with it before, but not this time. No wonder Gerrard reacted the way he did on full-time. Some demons from Hampden were exorcised in that moment. Gerrard will have known that the only way to hurt Celtic - truly hurt them - was to go to their own place and beat them.
Balague: "Barcelona are preparing to convince Neymar, he is the big target in the summer and the message they are getting from the Neymar entourage is, 'yes, try it, we would be happy to accept that'. Just because he has never been happier in Paris, doesn't mean he is really, really happy. Barcelona are counting on a 180m euros price tag, which is something they reckon they can afford. Julien: "Neymar will have two years left on his contract this summer, so interesting to see what position PSG adopt.
Mourinho said he had no complaints with the result, pointing out that his players were being asked to perform 'miracles'. I'm so proud of the boys they fought for the last seconds for a result," Mourinho, whose side had closed to within a point of Chelsea after three consecutive league wins but are now four behind, told reporters at Stamford Bridge.
The away form of Michael Appleton's men is also concerning ahead of this match. Lincoln have won just two of their 14 travelling matches this season, losing ten of the other 12. It's not only top sides that they've struggled against either, as they've lost against both MK Dons and Gillingham, both of whom reside in the bottom half. Lincoln have scored just 11 goals in their 14 away games, failing to score in five of those 14.

Two wins will give them a first top-flight title since 1990. They face an Everton side that have not beaten them in 21 attempts in all competitions - a record run for either side in this fixture. Everton will be highly motivated," said Klopp. Starting a derby in a normal season would be interesting, and now it is our short season it is very interesting. It is a special game for different reasons. TEAM NEWSEverton have a raft of injuries in midfield, with Morgan Schneiderlin, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Fabian Delph ruled out.
Tuchel misjudged it, instead of letting Mbappe sulk on the bench, he tried to have a word and that was a bad idea. From Mbappe sulking it became a confrontation for up to a minute in front of the whole world. Mbappe and Tuchel with hands over the mouth having a heated exchange. At the meeting on Sunday morning, Mbappe did not apologise. He admitted he overreacted but didn't apologise. He feels like Tuchel is treating him like an under-19 player and Tuchel is saying I have a squad to manage, whether you are happy or not, I don't care.
In Bundesliga 3, Magdeburg receives Uerdingen. The locals are 15th and have resumed competition with a home defeat and a travel victory scoring only one goal and not getting many opportunities. Visitors are 10th, but 4 points from the podium and climbing ambitions. For the recovery, they won in 2nd but were suspended at home. Unable to lose other points along the way, they must take advantage of their opponent's absences to report something.

Just below the media area, the sound of thumping music emerged from the dressing rooms as the players tried to create their own atmosphere. Zones were divided into green, amber and red with strict sanitisation and a one-way walking system in operation - all superbly efficient and well-organised by Aston Villa, the first club off the block in this context. Among the empty seats, there was a poignant sight - an Aston Villa steward's jacket placed in memory of manager Dean Smith's father Ron, who used to perform that role and who died aged 79 after contracting coronavirus.
That gave the visitors the advantage going into game two, but most still fancied United to reach the final again. Big game, big name - Roy Keane danced around goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt to put United ahead in a pulsating second leg. Advantage Sir Alex, and a place in the final in his home city of Glasgow was close. That man Neuville had the last word though, turning on the edge of the box to fire over Fabien Barthez and score via the underside of the crossbar.
Champions League: What have we learned from group stage?Jurgen Klopp rejects Champions League expansion claimsThis season's final is on 30 May at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, the ground where Liverpool won the epic 2005 final against AC Milan when they came back from three down to draw 3-3 and win on penalties.

Schalke and Wales winger Rabbi Matondo says he is "proud" of how young players have used their profiles to take a stand against racism. Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, 20, is among Bundesliga stars to have highlighted the case of George Floyd, who died in police custody in the USA. Another England player, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings, 27, took part in a Black Lives Matter protest in Birmingham. I feel proud that people are standing up for their rights," said Matondo, 19.
