United could only truly relax, with a cushion of at least three goals, for 67 minutes out of 43 hours. They had to go to the well again and again and again, and that was just in January and February. It was the fighting spirit that won us the Treble,” said Gary Neville. It wouldn’t have been half the story if we’d thrashed Bayern 3-0.

Select formationConfirm teamThe Crooks of the Matter When I saw the picture of England forward Raheem Sterling with a Real Madrid shirt draped over one shoulder and a Manchester City shirt draped over the other on the front cover of a Spanish publication, I immediately thought 'here is a genuine situation where there is no smoke without fire'.
Silva in sticky situation as Toffees chase Simeone Everton are considering sacking manager Marco Silva after a 5-2 thrashing in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool which left the Toffees languishing in the Premier League's bottom three. The Express are reporting that Everton are planning an audacious attempt to bring Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone as a replacement, with the Argentine struggling this season in the Spanish capital.
Joelinton had his usual struggles in front of goal but found the net twice, though both times while in offside positions. They did have a strong penalty appeal on Joelinton in the first half, with captain Jamaal Lascelles heading over moments later. Substitute Matty Longstaff went close moments after coming off the bench but in truth Newcastle did not do enough to win.
German Bundesliga 2. Team Hamburger SV will lay at home with team Nurnberg. It will be a first match after winter break. We have odds on this game after last year. But we didn't know about teams shape .
Santa Clara’s away games produced an average of 1.71 total goals, adding further weight to our prediction of under 2.5 goals being scored in Saturday’s clash. In fact, over 2.5 goals have only been scored in 25% of Guimaraes’ home games and in 14% of Santa Clara’s away games, which suggests that under 2.5 goals are more likely to be scored this weekend.
Liverpool, who are chasing a record-breaking 19th consecutive top-flight victory at Vicarage Road, are currently 22 points clear at the top of the table. After overcoming relegation-threatened Norwich City and West Ham United by one-goal margins in their last two matches, Klopp said their league positions do not reflect the threat they pose on the pitch.

It is early days for Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, of course, but I would love to know what he is thinking now he has got to know his squad a bit. Media playback is not supported on this device 'This is what I want to see' - Arteta on 'special' night for Arsenal Arsenal drew with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Boxing Day, in Arteta's first game in charge. I think he would be happy with the same result if he could get it on Monday, but I am going to go with a Bournemouth win here.
Deportivo La Coruña faces Alcorcón in this La Liga 2 clash. In my opinion Deportivo la Coruna has one of the best rosters the Spanish second division. But as they fell off on the second half of last season they also are not able to perform this year. This has happened for months now. Alcorcon on the other hand don't have as good team as the hosts in my opinion but they have been able to perform well with what they have. They might even fight for a place in the playoffs. Saying this I believe this will end in a draw.
However, the result came at a cost with defender John Souttar suffering a season-ending Achilles injury after just 16 minutes after falling to the ground off the ball, with Scott Arfield and Ryan Jack forced off early for the visitors. Reaction and how it happenedHearts end Rangers' cup dreamsWhether it was the arrival of storm Jorge or the fact that there were many empty seats in the home end inside Tynecastle, the atmosphere was very flat in the opening period.
He deserves to take his place among the legends of Celtic," he said. Odsonne Edouard was Celtic's top goalscorer last season"To come back after Brendan [Rodgers] went to Leicester, he was coming into a totally different set-up, a different philosophy, and he had to win those games from day one. He's done that exceptionally well. Now he's set his sights on European football. Of course that's very important, but if he clinches 10 in a row - which he has a good chance of doing - that would be fantastic.

Alfredo Morelos' eighth goal in seven games and Ryan Kent's third in three put Rangers in control by half-time. Christophe Berra's own goal and a Greg Stewart double added to Hearts' woes. A third loss in four games under Austin MacPhee leaves the Tynecastle side third bottom and does little for the caretaker's hopes of becoming manager permanently.

Manchester UnitedManchester United have frozen season-ticket prices and while fans can renew now, the 1 May deadline that was initially in place has been suspended. This will be continuously reviewed and a new deadline will be put in place once there is confirmation of the start date of the 20-21 season," the club said. If this season's remaining fixtures at Old Trafford are played behind closed doors season-ticket holders will get a pro-rata rebate against season tickets for next year, or a pro-rata cash refund based on the number of games still to be played.
Mahon is in interim charge after Nick Cushing left to join New York City. Gemma Bonner, one of nine England internationals in the hosts' starting line-up, hooked in Caroline Weir's free-kick to score inside two minutes. Sophie Baggaley made saves from Jill Scott, Bonner and Weir at the start of the second half as Manchester City chased in vain for a second goal.
Can Ljungberg stake his claim?Plenty of big-name managers have already been linked with the vacant managerial position at Emirates Stadium, but could Ljungberg conceivably remain as permanent manager?Compared with other frontrunners for the position, Ljungberg's CV does not measure up to the Premier League experience of former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino or Wolves' Nuno Espirito Santo - nor the European credentials of Massimiliano Allegri and Carlo Ancelotti.
First they said they would release him and we would have to pay his salary, then suddenly they said: 'No, you have to pay for the transfer'. And paying the transfer and his salary was a little bit over the budget and so we looked for another player. But, actually, I know that it was done 90% in the evening, and then in the morning everything changed.
The Cottagers may be the favourites for this one, but they are going through a tough spell of late. They are fresh from a 2-1 home defeat to Reading, their fourth loss in seven matches. That bad run is partly down to injuries, with manager Scott Parker suffering a real blow in midfield. That has left his side struggling as they start 2020.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer recently spoke about Sanchez in a press conference, stating that the 31-year-old will return in the summer and "prove you all wrong", but that is now looking unlikely as he isn't a part of his manager's plans at Old Trafford. United plan to bring in either Leicester City's James Maddison or Aston Villa's Jack Grealish to improve their attacking options ahead of next season.
His appeal stretched far and wide, however, when he scored twice in a 2-1 win over England at Wembley in 1963. An expected big move south of the border did not immediately follow, with many suspecting his fondness for the pub was behind the reluctance of some English clubs to recruit the player known as "Slim Jim".
Melbourne Victory do still have quality within the squad and they have often been on the cusp of a result this season. We think that trend could continue this weekend and we’re predicted a 1-1 draw between the sides, a result that is likely to leave both sides a little disappointed.
Marcus Harness had put Kenny Jackett's men in front in with a good touch and low finish to complete a swift, route-one move but Ellis Harrison's own-goal deep in first-half stoppage time saw Oxford pull level. Both sides had key chances to win the tie before the shootout but Eastwood and Brannagan became the heroes for Karl Robinson's men, who were jubilant at the end. Follow live coverage of Wycombe v Fleetwood second legThey go onto the final at Wembley on 13 July where they will face either Fleetwood or Wycombe, whose second leg started later on Monday - their kick-off being delayed until 19:45 BST because of the drama in Oxfordshire.
The Midlands side are the only Premier League side yet to benefit from a VAR decision this season and Coady spoke candidly about their disdain for the system. We feel massively hard done by.

Hakan Sukur is Turkey's greatest ever goalscorer and once one of Europe's most prolific strikers. A legend. So, how did he end up driving taxis and selling books for a living in the US, in exile from his home country?According to an interview with German newspaper, Welt am Sonntag, the 48-year-old former striker's life has taken an unusual and troubling turn since retiring from football in 2008. He claims that a rift with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has exposed him to death threats, false accusations and lack of access to funds.

Defoe scored a hat-trick when Rangers beat 10-man Hibs 6-1 at Ibrox in August. Hibs have shared the spoils with Rangers in the last three fixtures at Easter Road, including a remarkable 5-5 draw to close out the 2017-18 season. The hosts lost goalkeeper Ofir Marciano to a calf injury at half time in a 2-0 loss at Celtic at the weekend but are hopeful the Israel international will be fit. Experienced defender Darren McGregor was an unused substitute at Celtic Park, having recovered from an abdominal injury sustained in August.
