The two sides haven’t been the best so far this season but will see this game as a chance to pick up a win and build some momentum as they both head into tough games against Sydney FC in the coming weeks. A draw wouldn’t be the worst result for either but they’d both be disappointed to leave with anything less than a win, and this should lead to an open game with plenty of chances at either end.
What can we expect from him in terms of tactics? Historically, Ancelotti adapts himself to the team he trains, avoiding upsetting the work done by the previous coach. Over the years he has gone from Milan's 4-3-2-1 (in Italy, "The Christmas tree"), with which he won everything, to Bayern Munich's 4-3-3 inherited from Pep Guardiola until the last 4-4-2 with Naples.

After looking tired in their 2-1 loss to Chelsea in midweek, the six-time FA Cup winners showed their appetite for the season ahead and a battle against a resolute Newcastle side, who were spearheaded by a combative Carroll. It already felt like a training game thanks to the absence of 52,000 fans watching Newcastle's first FA Cup quarter-final since 2006, but Newcastle's formation reduced the first half to a game of attack versus defence where City clocked up the chances.
The clubs in the landlocked Central Asian country of nine million people are largely unknown, even among the world's most ardent football fans. But the Super Cup clash between champions Istiklol and league runners-up Khujand on Saturday could bring some solace to soccer fanatics this weekend with bookmakers already offering a variety of bets and even live streams of the game.
Sadio Mane has done incredible things for Liverpool this season, leading many to believe he is now Liverpool’s main man, but with one well-taken penalty, and the most sumptuous of passes for Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah gave a firm reminder of his unrelenting quality at London Stadium. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Salah has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (66).
It would be more than irresponsible to force competitions to resume if things are not 100 per cent safe," Infantino said. If we have to wait a little longer we must do so. It’s better to wait a little bit longer than to take any risks. Infantino reiterated that FIFA was assessing the financial impact of the stoppage so it could prepare the right response.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. SATURDAY Brighton v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)Brighton played well in the first half against Tottenham but ended up with nothing to show for it. That seems to happen quite often with the Seagulls. They are nice to watch but they are not clinical at putting teams away. Media playback is not supported on this device 'Lots of positives' despite Brighton defeat - Graham Potter Bournemouth are pretty similar, just more experienced at this level.
Fernandes may have fallen out of favour at Benfica, but perhaps Mourinho’s tough love is, er, just what he needs. As for the length of the loan deal? The Warm-Up was confused, initially, but it makes a certain cynical sense. After all, there’s a decent chance that there’ll be nothing left of Mourinho by that point, bar tears and recrimination.

Fiorentina do not have the best of away records and facing Lazio here will be an uphill task. However, they will bank on their impressive scoring form, away from home in Serie A, having netted in nine of 13 away matches. It is however not going to be easy against Lazio, who are coming from an away loss, and with a good run at home. Lazio are unbeaten in 11 home matches and have scored at least twice in their last four matches. They have however conceded in three of their last five matches and we feel they may be opened up here as well. We are backing them for a 2-1 win though.
No team in the Bundesliga have earned fewer points than Werder Bremen over the past 10 games. They have earned just seven points in the past 10 games. Werder's extended run of poor form has left them in 16th place in the Bundesliga table.

All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks by far the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned in this one and is something we're more than happy to do. Both teams have scored in 8 of UNAM Pumas' last 11 games and with 5 of said fixtures having ended 1-1; that's a scoreline we fancy this clash to finish with too.
Tony Pulis322989313130. Steve Bruce41211711318228. The 56-year-old saved the club from relegation in a six month stint at the helm in 2017-18 and returns with the task of lifting a side languishing in 17th in the standings and a point above the drop zone. Moyes said he had been given a second chance on the back of what he had achieved last time around, when he had been disappointed not to be retained, and could not wait to get started.
Down in 12th, they have a tough task on their hands as they host second placed Benfica. The home side may be in poor form but have no real relegation problems. They are a comfortable 11 points above the relegation zone but 12 behind the final Europa League qualifying position. Setubal only have two points from their last five league games and are really struggling at home.
Wycombe aren't the only ones whose form has waned of late. Coventry have also struggled to get going. The Sky Blues were without a league win in December, but they got into the Christmas spirit on the 21st with a timely win over Lincoln. Having been afforded Boxing Day off, Mark Robins men should come into this game refreshed and raring to go.
They were second best for large parts of the contest in last week's 1-1 draw away to strugglers Espanyol, although Periquitos really got their tails up after cancelling out Mata's early strike. Getafe are a far more formidable and consistent team at home, and they will fancy their chances of beating Levante here despite losing 0-1 in the last two meetings between the sides in Madrid.
West Ham defender Ryan Fredericks will be out for six weeks after undergoing surgery on his shoulder on Wednesday. Fredericks, 27, damaged ligaments in his right shoulder in West Ham's 2-0 defeat by Manchester City last week. West Ham's head of medical Richard Collinge said the surgery had gone "exactly as planned" and Fredericks would return "in early to mid-April". It comes a day after January loan signing Tomas Soucek was ruled out for three weeks with a hip injury.
But if Real Madrid are to clinch only their third La Liga title in 12 years, they will look back upon Vinicius’ contribution as pivotal. The teenager is an almost unbearably frustrating player to watch, a talent who will force your head into your hands at least once a match, but his flaws only serve as a reminder of how much better he can still become.
They head to this clash winless in their last three matches and having already secured survival we doubt they will have the punch. Defensively, they have been weak all season, conceding 64 goals in 36 matches, making them only stronger than the four sides below them. They have just seven clean sheets in the 36 league matches played and with seven of their 11 wins in the league so far coming at home, they will want to take full advantage here.
Youssoufia Berrechid will host Ittihad Tanger for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this campaign. However, the hosts have a more offensive team. I think, the hosts will try to dominate from the start match. They tend to score a goal. In previous game Youssoufia is won 3-2 against strong Wydad. Also, we have IR Tanger who's is one of the main outsiders in this league. The visitors have less potential in attack. I think, they will pay attention on their defense. I think, the hosts will go in this game to victory.
That left United heavily reliant on 22-year-old Marcus Rashford and, though the England forward has impressed with 14 league goals, a stress fracture in his back is set to keep him out for at least six weeks. Initially, the highly rated Erling Braut Haaland - a reported target of United - chose Borussia Dortmund as his next club despite Solskjaer, who managed the teenager at Molde, flying to Austria in November to speak with him.
The visitors have the chance to push for a cup run now, following their move towards safety in the league. The Royals are 12 points clear of the drop and they’re on course for a midtable finish, so they should be looking to spice things up a bit with a cup run while they’re in form. However, the visitors have a mixed record on the road in this competition. The Royals have failed to win in six away FA Cup games, keeping one clean sheet in their last five trips.

Arsenal published a statement last night distancing itself from Ozil's comments, highlighting the persecution of the Uighur Muslims in north west China. Human rights groups claim more than a million Uighurs are being held in re-education camps without trial and leaked information last week showed an alleged move towards forced labour.

Despite the programme being reduced to four games after Bristol City's clash against West Ham and Manchester United's trip to Birmingham were postponed following failed pitch inspections, it was a Sunday that had something for everyone. There were stunning goals, shock results and late, late winners, all of which served to make the table all the tighter as the league takes a three-week breather.
We have also decided, because we have not forgotten our own paths and all those who have generously helped us to make progress in our careers, that these amounts will be added to the support fund already created by the FPF (Portuguese federation) aimed mainly at players from non-professional competition clubs.

Dart produced a far more encouraging performance on her Fed Cup singles debut, saving three set points in the opening set before winning it in a tiebreak. Kuzmova levelled as she saved three break points at 3-2 down and then took the set when Dart hit a double fault. Dart fought back from 3-0 down to 3-2 in the third set and kept the contest alive by saving five match points.
Four of the last six meetings between these two clubs have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, and four of those matches have been settled via the odd goal and the pair have never played out a draw before, so you can see why we have backed a 2-1 home win this weekend.
Ouch. The Gaffer speaks. Arsenal's new boss (for now) has posted on Twitter, vowing to "put smiles on faces again". Mourinho "sad" for Emery Jose Mourinho draws on his own extensive experience of being sacked when quizzed about Emery's departure in his press conference at Spurs, today.
