He used to come in his kit and was already driving away by the time the forwards finished their extra shooting session. In terms of loving the game, I'm not sure. But he was a fierce competitor and came back from a serious injury. He was very good on the ball and was an excellent passer. Ian Wright: "I loved him. Did he love football deep down? I'm not sure. He was always very cool. He hardly spoke and was somebody who, if that ball was there to be won, would win it no matter what.

But, ex-Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez killed their momentum with a header on 24 minutes and Ander Herrera struck the winner just after the hour.
We have plenty of time in the league, plenty of games ahead of us. There are not many points to mid-table so if we can string a few results together I am sure we can start climbing the table. Arteta 'ready' to take on frontline role - Guardiola Arteta played for Everton between 2005 and 2011Manchester City assistant Mikel Arteta has been linked with the permanent role and has been endorsed by City boss Pep Guardiola.
He has a good relationship with the players and knows when a rocket is needed. He is very good at taking other opinions on board. The team always comes first. How we play as a team is different to how I have played anywhere else. If one player doesn’t do his job, the whole thing breaks down. That is down the characters he has put together. As a player, you are always asked about the team spirit and you always give the same generic answer ‘its great’.
Gil Vicente does not seem as promising as they should be to win a home victory. However, they have successfully completed their recent meetings with visitors in this place. In addition, Aves will travel on the back of the worst form on the league. If the host can make use of the advantage on the ground and exploit the problems of the guest in defense then the hosts is likely to take the three points. There were 3 defeats in the 3 games for Gil Vicente and, therefore, the team also fell to the 11th place. Aves is at the bottom of the table, but they recently had a surprise 0-0 against Porto . I expect Aves to win or draw this one.
While he did not declare his club's position, Stenhousemuir chairman Iain McMenemy said on Wednesday the proposal was doomed to failure. The move would also deny Cove Rangers promotion from the bottom tier. Hearts reject Gillett takeover bid'Timing all wrong with Budge plans'Hearts' league revamp plan explainedHearts must gain the support of 15 of the 20 clubs in the bottom two divisions, as well as 11 of the 12 Premiership sides and seven of their nine Championship rivals.
He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: "There is a plan A, B and C. The three options are to start again in mid-May, in June or at the end of June. There is also the possibility of starting again at the beginning of the next [season], starting the following one later. We will see the best solution for leagues and clubs. As it stands there are nine games to be completed by the majority of Premier League clubs, and up to 12 in the Football League.
BeIN Sport chief executive Yousef al-Obaidly has previously written to the chairs of Premier League clubs warning them against the Newcastle takeover. In the letter, he accused the Saudi government of the "facilitation of the near three-year theft of the Premier League's commercial rights - and in turn your club's commercial revenues - through its backing of the huge-scale beoutQ pirate service". He has also written to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters, calling for the league to "fully investigate" the piracy claims.
During his stay in Nottingham he did not show any symptoms of the virus.

We have absolutely no plans to lose anyone in January," Rodgers told reporters. Our job is to keep what we have. If there's an opportunity to improve the squad we will look to do that. If not, we will carry on with the squad we have, which is very strong. British media have linked 22-year-old midfielder James Maddison to United since his breakthrough campaign last season and his stock has risen since he was called up by England manager Gareth Southgate during the recent international break.
And, with Napoli 3-0 up against Genk at half-time, a nervous second period looked a strong possibility for the holders. But then, on 57 minutes, Trent Alexander-Arnold set an attack in motion, and when Andy Robertson found Mane - formerly of Salzburg - Stankovic rushed out unnecessarily, over came the cross, and Keita - formerly of Salzburg - headed home.
Naive, inexperienced, stupid - all the words are right. It's not acceptable. It's not possible to win points with eight players. Burnley boss Sean Dyche speaking to Sky Sports: "I don't think I've played against a team with two sendings-off. It was a bizarre game! We'll take the clean sheet and the win. We needed something because it was a strange game. The whole thing was strange. Chris Wood] found the net from an awkward one.
As always, one of the selections has to be a game he did not play in - but perhaps unsurprisingly it features a dramatic late United winner. Watch Neville's Match of Their Day hereMan Utd 2-0 Arsenal Juan Sebastian Veron scored seven league goals for United and one of those came in this gameDecember 2002Champions Arsenal went to Old Trafford having done the double over Manchester United the season before, but left empty handed on this occasion as a rare Red Devils combination of Juan Sebastian Veron and Paul Scholes were on the scoresheet.
In contrast, while Fleetwood have thrived at home, Tranmere have struggled massively on their travels, winning just two out of eight, losing five of the other six. The visitors do come into this match having won when last in action on the road in League 1, but they had the luxury of facing a struggling MK Dons side that folded. They're unlikely to get such fortune against Fleetwood.
Just when you thought the international break would pass without incident, along come Tottenham to chuck a great big cat among the Premier League pigeons. Mauricio Pochettino is out and Jose Mourinho is in, but what impact will that have on fantasy football?Will Lucas Moura come in from the cold? Can Jose put a spring back in Christian Eriksen's step?

Barcelona looked set for a derby victory, but the match once again swung following the sending off of Frenkie de Jong, with the Dutch midfielder shown a second yellow card for pulling Jonathan Calleri’s shirt. This gave the hosts the impetus again, with Wu finding the far corner of the Barca net with an excellent finish after being played in behind.
It's because of people like (Manchester City and England forward) Raheem Sterling, people like (Napoli and Senegal defender) Kalidou Koulibaly or (Brescia and Italy forward) Mario Balotelli who take matters into their own hands," he said. Similarly, he said, female players have been "campaigning for conditions they deserve" and speaking up for gender rights in a broader sense.
For me, he was an example of what football is. Everything he did left you open-mouthed. The way he dribbled, the way he ran, the way he scored, he was a true phenomenon. His nickname was El Fenomeno so Zlatan is not exactly reinventing the wheel, here, to be fair. Now Ibrahimovic chats a lot of breeze.

The SPFL reiterated its stance that it had received "very clear legal advice" that the resolution submitted by Rangers, Hearts and Inverness Caledonian Thistle was not effective. It says McKenzie "engaged actively" with Rangers' company secretary but that the "essence of the resolution. The letter adds that Rangers could consult a QC should they disagree, but says they declined to do so. On the claim the SPFL and Scottish FA wrote to Uefa on 4 April saying "the vast majority" of SPFL clubs are calling for curtailment of the campaign.
Just as Pompey are strong at home, Rotherham are excellent away and the 19 points on the road they have earned is only second to Ipswich for the best away record in League One. The visitors have scored in 89% of their away matches but at the same time, they have conceded in two thirds of matches on the road. However, they are having an excellent season so far and with three points this Tuesday, they know that it would go a long way to strengthening their promotion bid.
The languid midfield man is the complete operator and showed all sides of his game in what turned into a stroll. He ran midfield while demonstrating his class as a creator and goalscorer to simply underline the role he has played in Liverpool's romp to the Premier League this season. Fabinho's pass to pick out Salah for Liverpool's second goal was a masterpiece of touch and vision, while he again showed his potency from long range by flashing that stunning goal past the helpless Hennessey in front of a Kop populated by flags on what might be their last game before clinching the title.
It feels like he has always had the confidence to keep pushing himself and those around him, while being an understated player. He's been absolutely critical in what Liverpool have done because when new players have arrived, like Van Dijk and Allisson, who have given them the lift in quality they needed, he has been able to establish to them what is expected in terms of their focus too. Pat Nevin: Kevin de Bruyne (7)He is still the guy most likely to make me go "wow" and has done so many times this season.
There was a message before the game that Chelsea away could be an opportunity for one or two of them and they put in a performance tonight. There was at least one of Klopp's senior players in the sell-out 52,399 crowd, with James Milner offering his support sat behind the home dugout. He trained with us yesterday and he asked whether he could come along," added Critchley, who oversaw the game for Liverpool.

It's always tough to come here and win, and we've done it with a young team as well. I have a lot of faith in them. I think they are developing really well. They are willing and hungry and will only get better. We analyse opponents and try to generate situations that are favourable for our players. I was worried with their history in the last few weeks we would concede in the last few minutes. Our history with this cup is massive for the club.
Seven out of ten Sevilla away league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Three of the last five Real Madrid games have ended goalless. Three of the last four Real Madrid home league games have seen under 2.5 goals scored in them. Real Madrid are unbeaten at home in La Liga this season but this weekend host Sevilla who have the best away record.
Aguero's prospective lay-off. He has a tendon problem in front - will be a few games out. He added: "We will miss Sergio. We have had some problems with injuries but we will wait for him and meanwhile we have [Gabriel Jesus] and [Raheem] Sterling who can play in that position. We will live without him for a while.
Both sides then hit the woodwork, with Cain again going close for Everton and Bremner for City with an overhead kick. But the hosts wrapped up the win through Bonner in the 64th minute before an Everton corner went into the net off Stanway. It was 35-year-old City manager Nick Cushing's penultimate home game after more than six years in charge before he becomes assistant manager at MLS men's team New York City next month.

The Toffees have failed to win any of their last three games, the most recent of which was their worst display of the Ancelotti era, a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Chelsea. At home, Ancelotti remains unbeaten. Three of the five games he's managed at Goodison Park have been victories. Liverpool, however, are a different calibre of opponent, especially for Everton, who clearly have an inferiority complex that hinders their derby displays.
That was the right decision at the time. They have apologised. They're back in training and fit for selection. They've admitted they're wrong. They've settled back into it, they know they've made a mistake and want to make up for it. The next chance is against Chelsea. If they play their part then all well and good. The Hornets are one point above the relegation zone in 17th place with six matches remaining.

Quite big odds on the over 3.5 goals in this one as the hosts even conceded 7 or 6 goals all alone in home games this season and quite often 3+ goals conceded by them at home as well, while 7 out of 10 league games played by Southend at home this season ended with over 3.5 goals scored in them, 70% and odds are 2.75, aren't they good or what, and even last season MK Dons came here and won the game 4-1, so 5 goals scored back than as well.
Monaco have sacked manager Leonardo Jardim for the second time in 14 months and appointed former Spain boss Robert Moreno. Jardim returned in January to replace ex-Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, three months after the Ligue 1 club ended his initial four-year spell in charge. Monaco are seventh in Ligue 1, 17 points off leaders Paris St-Germain. Moreno left his role in charge of Spain after the return of predecessor Luis Enrique last month.
This ended their year with four defeats with seven goals conceded and just one scored in this time. Christmas definitely came at a good time for les Girondins and Sousa will be hoping that they put their rest and relaxation to good use. Bordeaux will be back at home for this match where much of their success has come in recent times. They have won four of their last five matches at the Atlantique and dominated their most recent game there against Strasbourg despite losing 1-0.
In contrast, Peter Schmeichel won 11 major honours, including five league titles and a Champions League, during his eight years at United from 1991-99, when he made 398 appearances. In an interview for the club's matchday programme, United Review, Schmeichel says he would "hate to think what the league tables might have looked like" if De Gea had failed to reach the levels he did. De Gea's recent mistake against Tottenham drew stinging criticism from former United skipper Roy Keane.
Benfica score an average of 2.75 goals per home game and Braga score an average of 0.71 goals per away game, which is why we have backed a 3-1 final scoreline in favour of the home side on Wednesday night. Benfica’s home games average 3.00 total goals, with 50% producing over 3.5 goals, adding further weight to our prediction of four goals being scored when they host Braga.
Ravenna have recently had 1 win and 3 losses. They have scored 4 goals and conceded 9 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win one and lose 2 of their last 5 league games scoring 6 goal and conceding 9.
Gwangju will play the first match in K1 League after the victory in the second league of Korea. Gwangju won at home 12 of 18 matches and lost only once. Gwangju scored 36 goals and conceded only 12. Seongnam lost 10 of 17 matches on away in the previous season and they were one of the weakest teams on the trips. They scored 12 goals and conceded 23 goals. In this match I expect the hosts to win this match. Maybe it will not be an easy task for them to beat K1 League team but they look so strong
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has made signing a striker a priority after his side suffered their first defeat in four league matches with a dramatic 1-0 loss at Newcastle. The Blues created 19 chances but only four were on target. If we are looking for people to bring in to the areas to win games when you are controlling it, it is scoring goals," said Lampard. It's clear from what I'm saying we know where we need to strengthen.

While Derby have ambitions, Fulham are on the right track to land their goals. They want promotion by any means, with the Cottagers up to fourth after their Friday night win. The hosts are hoping to cut a five-point gap to the top two this week, with automatic promotion clearly attainable for this talented Fulham side.
