Eintracht have won just one of their last eight Bundesliga games. They've lost a total of six games during that time period. This gives Eintracht a total of just four points over the past eight games. This is the poorest points total for any Bundesliga side over the past eight games.
Then it went a bit wrong. Edinson Cavani was brought in from the cold and Icardi was left fighting for a starting a spot, with the Argentine completing 90 minutes just once in 2020. But that doesn't mean the Parisians want rid. Cavani is likely to leave (finally) in the summer, while there will be a summer siege for Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
I get to learn from the likes of Gareth and Alan and it keeps that side going as well as playing. Coaching might bring new aspects for me but it's about working hard on the pitch and putting in the hours off it, trying to grow my knowledge of the game. If I can help the team in any way, hopefully, I'll take on that role as well. Taylor said he was thrilled to have former Sunderland and Everton midfielder Scott as both a player and as part of the backroom team.
Both clubs disagreed with calls to switch the game to Madrid, but will share the same hotel in the lead-up to Wednesday game and travel at the same time two hours before kick-off amid security concerns. Zidane said: "That's something different for us. We've been told that we have to leave together and that's what we'll do. There's nothing else to explain. The important thing is that the game goes ahead.
However, the Sun state that Juventus president Andrea Agnelli is "desperate" to bring Guardiola in as a replacement for the ex-Chelsea and Napoli head coach who is failing to live up to his high standards. Guardiola is still under contract at the Premier League club until 2021 and he previously admitted he was "open" to signing an extension earlier this season, while City chiefs remain confident he will continue into his fifth year in charge next term.
Saturn played 6 friendly games in this winter break the latest being just a couple of days ago as they only drew 0-0 with Znamya Truda so perhaps one of the reasons why ods are so equal on the over/under line in this one. But they also lost 4-1 to Ryazan, won 4-3 with Krasnogorsk or lost 2-1 to Veles Moscow all sides also from the 3rd league level where Saturn is part of the Center Division with 22 points safe from relegation but not quite close enough to the top place in the league.
Jonny Evans celebrates his goal against Aston Villa - it was the 32-year-old's first of the season, and the second time he has found the net for Leicester since his £3. West Brom in the summer of 2018You don't see anything flash from Jonny, because he will sense any danger before it happens and find a solution long before a last-ditch tackle is needed. As I pointed out on MOTD2, he often does things that do not count towards his defensive statistics as a tackle or block, but still solve the problem.

I think draw is the best option for this game because Aston villa need to find the way to stop defeats especially now when they are playing versus direct opponent from relegation zone and especially because ford is in great shape and surely visitors are coming for one more victory tonight but even them knows that they must not lose in this game so I think they Will be pleased with a draw and 0 0 is not realistic but 1 1 seems like a very good option for someone who wants to try to predict the correct score at the end
Bolton's fortunes have improved of late, even away from home, where they recently beat a reasonably useful Bristol Rovers side by two goals to nil. On that occasion, the Trotters weren't imperious in the final third, but by restricting their opponents to few opportunities, they were still the more creative side.
I don't see them getting three points here, though. It doesn't seem to matter who or where Sheffield United play at the moment because, defensively, they are so well set up. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Nathan's prediction: From a Villa perspective it was very frustrating to follow Leicester's collapse at Bournemouth, especially because of their defensive errors. I think the Foxes will pick themselves up a bit here.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has donated 1m euros (£920,000) to fight the coronavirus outbreak in Spain. Guardiola, who is at his home in Barcelona, has been working with his lawyers over the past few days to work out the best way of using the money. It will go to a campaign being promoted by the Medical College of Barcelona and the Angel Soler Daniel Foundation. Spain is one of the worst affected countries in Europe.
Swiss prosecutors have launched legal proceedings against Fifa president Gianni Infantino. It is in relation to an alleged secret meeting the head of world football's governing body held with the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber. Lauber last week offered to resign after a court said he covered up the meeting and lied to supervisors during an investigation by his office into corruption surrounding Fifa.
Frustration in England's Premier League with VAR ruling out goals for tiny margins of offside, in some cases involving heels and armpits, has led to calls for a different approach. Some commentators have suggested there should be clear 'daylight' between the attacking player and the defending one for offside to be called while FIFA’s head of global development Arsene Wenger has floated another alternative.
This is the reward for winning the qualifier group. Would England be better finishing second?In a similar vein to the 2018 World Cup, England may well be better off finishing second in their group. The winners of England's Group D will face the runners-up in Group F - probably Germany, France or Portugal - in Dublin. But if England finish as runners-up, they would face the team who finish second in the group containing Spain, Poland, Sweden and possibly Northern Ireland or the Republic in Copenhagen.
That World Cup semi-final in 2014 was the most extraordinary game I have ever seen, or that I am likely to see. I had researched and absorbed so many facts for that game, but it never crossed my mind to find out when Brazil had last conceded seven at home. For all the drama, it was quite a hard game to commentate on. In a semi-final you want the tension to last to the final seconds if possible, but long before half-time there was no tension - simply disbelief.
The German was also unaware if the virus would have any potential impact on their pre-season plans. For pre-season we haven’t thought about changing anything because of coronavirus. We are relying on what the medical department say," he said. We take it very seriously but we can't avoid everything. It's not a football problem but a society one.
All of a sudden we've got a new manager, one of the best managers there's been in the game, so automatically you have to turn your head towards that and focus on the game.

Paderborn's opponents and fellow Bundesliga new-boys Union Berlin will also be confident going into Saturday's fixture. Union have been one of the Bundesliga's best teams in recent weeks. They have earned 12 points over their last six games. Only RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach have earned more points, in that time.
Ahead of the game Brighton are placed 15th with 29 points while Arsenal are ninth on 40 points. Both sides have not had great seasons; Brighton are just two points above the relegation zone while for Arsenal there’s a strong possibility that they will miss European football next season. Arsenal are five points off the final Europa League place and eight off the Champions League slots.

They have seven wins in the 11 matches and they have failed to score in just one of the last 14 matches. Cagliari have been very prolific, in terms of scoring, and have scored 13 goals in the last five matches. Defensively, they will want to improve, having managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches.
They are 14 points ahead of Manchester United in fifth place, which means they are already in a strong position to finish in the top four and make the Champions League for the first time since they won the league. They will have set their sights higher than that, though. They will believe they can go the distance in the title race, and their aim must be to stay close enough to Liverpool to take advantage if the leaders do slip up.
Newcastle’s two wins this season came in a row, with wins over Western United and Western Sydney. These were also the only two games where the side kept clean sheets, further highlighting their defensive frailties. They’ve scored enough goals, an average of just over one per game but they find themselves a point behind 10th placed Central Coast Mariners and another loss could see the side cut adrift at the bottom.

Leaders RB Leipzig, top on 37 points, kick off 2020 at home against Union Berlin. Striker Timo Werner, who with 18 league goals is one behind Lewandowski, has one eye on the title. On a national level it would be nice to win the Cup (after reaching the final last year). I had to chose then winning the league title is the ultimate," Werner said.
Most assumed Butt’s midfield partner would be Ronny Johnsen, the Norwegian centre-back, who had played there in the second leg of the quarter-final against Internazionale.
