It is Liverpool who have got a midfield unit now and they also have plenty of options without weakening. Their players know that, if they get in, they have to play well to stay in, otherwise they may not play again for a while. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: Liverpool are the best football team on the planet at the moment; they are just on another level. And I think, after what happened when they played United earlier this season (a 1-1 draw), we will see a reaction from them.
It has not exactly been a season of good cheer for fans of Halifax Town as they have seen their side’s form drop like a stone and with it, their position in the National League plummet. The hosts go into this weekend’s match having claimed just six points from their last eight matches and, as a result, they now find themselves outside of the play-offs and looking a little sorry for themselves.
Napoli are due to host Inter Milan in the other match on Thursday. Palomba said it was not practical to determine who was from the affected regions and who was a local. It is not always possible to identify where people come from at the entrance to the stadium," he said. The city government also said in a statement that "40,000 tickets have already been sold, with inevitable gatherings to control the entry to the stadium.

semifinal of Croatian cup and first of all I think this is going to be very tough game for both teams in which I do not expect a lot of goals for sure because first of all this is very important game for both squads and since it is their first competitive game after a long break I do not think any team will attack and open on start so I think one scored goal is most probably decide the winner but I do not want to predict which team is going to score that goal, for me this is much safer bet

American forward Christian Pulisic is goalless in the league since early November, and Callum Hudson-Odoi only scored his first senior league goal last weekend.
Dwight Gayle also came on for the ineffective Joelinton but could not make an impact in a disappointing evening for Bruce and Newcastle. Entitled to chuck cabbages at his team' - analysisFormer Aston Villa striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live"I think Steve Bruce will feel humiliated. He would have been quite entitled to chuck cabbages at his own team at half-time. Villa really deserved their victory.
Premier League top scorer Jamie Vardy became the latest victim of the injury curse afflicting English strikers when he limped off in the 43rd minute but Leicester responded by doubling their lead on the stroke of halftime when Barnes turned provider for Ricardo to fire home. Skipper Mark Noble gave West Ham a lifeline in the 50th minute when he converted from the spot after Wilfred Ndidi was adjudged to have fouled Sebastien Haller.
Defensively, both teams have floundered, so a low-scoring game seems unlikely, but it is the hosts who stand out as likely winners, or at least more likely than the current prices suggest. Last time out at this venue, Benfica got the better of a very useful Lyon side. On that occasion, they were clinical, which bodes well ahead of a game against a Zenit side that has given plenty away on the road. In Russia, Zenit are very tough to face but it's well known that they don't travel well. They can make their presence felt offensively on Tuesday, but their defensive exploits, especially when losing away to Leipzig, point towards them struggling.

Asked whether he would have benefitted had such a role existed during his time in the spotlight, Glass said: "It was a very different time and had I had someone to support me and help me understand what was going on then definitely, it could've gone better for me. League One's automatic promotion race went right to the wire this season, and threw up a dramatic finale which will take some topping. Doncaster Rovers went into the final game second in the table, needing a draw to be certain of a place in the top two.
I know odds are nothing special, but I think they will come easy. Juve with all attacking power today. After some good lasting rest, Ronaldo and Dybala and Higuain will all in the team. They should score easy at least two goals but I am not sure about Cagliari but can predict they will score at least twice. To be honest it is the best bet here Cagliari to score about 1.80 but we don't have that offer here. So this will be open game for goal more as both teams are attacking minded.
Viktoria is one of the better away teams in the league, and if they maintain that form at the home ground, squad would be far away from the lower part of the competition, and relegation zone. Host here is not doing too good here, and they are not unbeatable at their field. This may be match of big importance for the rivals, which could push one of them more to the secure part of the league.
Three times in a row is a big success. Speaking to Sky Sports, he added: "We've won a lot.

Key to that is an analytics department that is revolutionary by Allsvenskan standards, and a coaching staff with an international flavour that includes Valencia hero Joachim Bjorklund as assistant.

Truly chaotic. Pre-season prediction: 11thWhat I said in August: "Yes - you have read it right, Watford supporters. No relegation tip this year… which may of course be bad news. West Ham United - 16thDavid Moyes did exactly what was required by keeping West Ham up, making smart signings such as Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen and bringing the best out of Michail Antonio. Moyes must now get the chance to build further and stamp his own identity on the team even further.
But we can go through to the quarter-finals and that is what we have to do. We have to be focused on that.

Rome, which has not been affected so far, is due to hold three group stage matches and one quarter-final at the Euro 2020 tournament in June and July. We are at the waiting stage.
