This fixture features No. 21 vs No. 6 in the league, Milton Keynes Dons vs Rotherham United. The hosts coming from a 1 - 0 home loss to Bolton Wanderers (no. 23 in the league) and their last home game a 1 - 3 loss to Tranmere Rovers. The visitors coming from a 1 - 0 home win over Accrington Stanley (No. 19 in the league) and their last away game a 0 - 3 win over Gillingham. The visitors should win this one as they played a higher table team than the hosts and scored one goal without conceding to win the match then win their last away game with multiple goals without conceding facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves, not scoring and conceding one goal to lose the match then losing their last home game to a team above themselves but lower than the visitors scoring and conceding so a win to the hosts.
You can't just accept we're tired. After the confusion of Wednesday night, Solskjaer also clarified Pogba's injury situation, stating the Frenchman's latest surgery has been to clear up some bone fragments around the ankle. If the player is not happy with what he's feeling and he's got loads of pain, then it might be a worry it can get worse," said Solskjaer. The United boss was not impressed by the comments of Pogba's high-profile and controversial agent Mino Raiola, who this week accused the club of "ruining" players and said he would no longer send his to Old Trafford.
Nonetheless, having lost just 1 of their last 44 home league matches, winning 35 times in the process, Galatasaray have an incredible home record and will be confident in securing the points on Saturday.
He clipped a wonderful ball in behind the Fulham defence for Harrison to end the contest with a shot that went through visiting goalkeeper Marek Rodak. Post-match reactionLeeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa told BBC Radio Leeds:"In the first half it was difficult for us to recover the ball in the opponents' half and when we were close to our box we lost it again quickly. That is why the first half was better for them than for us.
I didn't want to play him (against Wolves). I think he got a knock, a knee or something, in his back, but he's been struggling for a little while. That's why we've kept him away (from starting against Wolves), but we needed the win. He was involved in the goal, so that was a positive, but it backfired.
I looked at their recent performances and their styles of play, as well as other factors while I was crafting my selection. Both of these teams started this season in a totally different way, so the exact score is not easy to predict with many circumstances involved. If we take everything we said, it points to the home win to ‘nil’.
I'm happy with my start but from now I need to give more to be better. His instant impact has allowed United to go unbeaten since his debut and they have given their Champions League qualification hopes a shot in the arm by moving up to fifth in the standings, three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

This is a match from Egypt elite league where I hope that we can see at least two goals and with a little luck and more than that. In last two matches in league, Santa is not played too good and they are won in those duels, just one point, 2-2 and 0-2. On the other side, ENPPI is in much better form than rival and this is a team who is without defeat in more than ten matches in a row. In last two, this team is won 2-1 and 2-1. As I said before, at least two goals are very real.
Moyes 'big four' woes continueThis season's race for a Champions League spot may still be wide open - not least because of the uncertainty around Manchester City's European ban - but, once upon a time, the Premier League was dominated by the 'big four'. Although long since irrelevant with the rise of Manchester City, Tottenham, Leicester and co, that chapter in English top-flight history is one that still haunts West Ham manager David Moyes, whose miserable away record against those clubs was extended one 'L' further on Saturday.

I want to be here. The coach knows. He wants me to stay. How did you rate Luiz?Luiz off as City beat ArsenalLuiz only joined Arsenal last summer - moving from Chelsea on deadline day for £8m - but he was left on the bench against City amid confusion surrounding his contract status. He came on in the 24th minute after Pablo Mari was injured, and was at fault for Raheem Sterling's opener. He then hauled down Riyad Mahrez to give away a penalty and was sent off.
The Espanyol players had bad matches in La Liga, before that they won 1-0 against Mallorca and a 2-2 draw on the field of Seville. However, soon after, the students of coach Abelardo Fernández fell 0-4 when they marched to England to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Europa League, and at the weekend they continued to lose to Valladolid 1-2. In the middle of last week, Atletico Madrid had just won 1-0 at home against the defending champions Liverpool in the first round of 16 Champions League. This result created a good mentality for Diego Simeone's team before the second leg. In the last round, the visitors had a 3-1 win over Villarreal in the 25th round of La Liga
I can't open my heart and express how it feels but every day I am living my dream. As a young boy growing up in Nigeria, Odion Ighalo had to save up his lunch money in order to watch his beloved Manchester United on TV at the weekend. Now 30, he is a United player, having signed for his boyhood club on loan until the end of the season from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua in January. Since then, Ighalo has scored three goals in eight appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, and enjoyed his first Manchester derby victory on Sunday.
But in truth, the Clarets were handed victory on a plate and will probably be disappointed not to have scored more in the second half. Rodriguez, Wood, Phil Bardsley and Matej Vydra all came close but Krul was sharp in goal for Norwich and the hosts showed at least the desire to put their bodies on the line to block every shot. The victory was Burnley's 15th in the Premier League this season - a club record for the competition.
We will see what happens. Watford close to new manager Watford are expected to announce their new manager on Monday after binning Quique Sanchez Flores. Chris Hughton and Paul Clement are thought to be the two men in the frame for the Vicarage Road hotseat, while Alan Curbishley is still available. Results 'leaked' It's probably just a teenager on Microsoft Paint, but we love a good conspiracy and many people are claiming the Ballon d'Or results have already been leaked.
Who knows who would have gone down or come up if the games have not actually been played in full? "A huge blow to Liverpool who might be robbed of their first title in 30 years. Brighton and Hove Albion's chief executive Paul Barber said the decision to suspend the league was the only option. Our priority is to play out the remainder of the season but we have to be realistic in that we do not know where this virus is heading," he told BB Sport.
The away team have not won at this ground in their past 5 visits, they have scored here at times and have looked good playing their best football. The thing for them is they are not scoring enough goals at this place to really have chance to upset the home team who seem to always have the answer when playing at home. This match could once again be a home team win, they have done well here against this away team and have scored a lot. The double chance with handicap looks much safer for this match between the teams
Solskjaer obviously rates Chong and seems to be keen on keeping him at the club. Also, United will want to avoid another 'Paul Pogba situation'. The Manchester side knew that they had a talented player in Pogba, but ended up losing him for free to Juventus, only to bring him back to Old Trafford for a then-world record fee just four years later.
The victory meant Simone Inzaghi's side, who were last crowned Italian champions in 2000, moved above Inter into second place and within one point of leaders Juventus, while stretching their club record unbeaten run in the league to 19 games. Midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was the star of the show, scoring the winning goal to top off a second half fightback, but the Serbian was keeping his feet on the ground at fulltime.

That charisma endeared Mohamed to Mexicans and the 49-year old has rarely been away. He played for seven clubs and has now coached eight. I know Mexico's idiosyncrasies very well," he told Clarin newspaper earlier this year. It was a place where I always felt wanted. I need to be loved if I am to win.
Just mere weeks ago, Besiktas looked in unstoppable form and were on fire but recent performance provide a cause for concern. Indeed, the side's 6 match running run has been brought to a swift end and they come into Friday's game hungry for improvement, having now lost 4 straight matches across all competitions.

Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor has signed for Paraguay club Olimpia Asuncion. The 35-year-old former Arsenal striker was a free agent having ended a brief spell with Turkish side Kayserispor in December for personal reasons. Adebayor will be reunited with ex-Manchester City team-mate and current Olimpia captain Roque Santa Cruz. Aside from Turkey and England, the forward has also played in France and for Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Barca players consider wage cuts The Daily Mail report that Barcelona's executives are considering slashing the wage bill for both players and staff, but there could be a lifeline as players may step in to protect ancillary staff. The report says: Barcelona directors held a video-link meeting on Friday where the possibility of cutting players' salaries was discussed.
Inter won the treble that year, and Spain took the World Cup, but the way Messi was dominating matches for Barcelona, scoring a previously unheard of 60 goals for the calendar year, at least in the modern era, saw him enforce his dominance over Ronaldo, whose first season at Real was a barren one despite his prolific previous form.
They had 10 months of hope in this coronavirus-interrupted season; it ended in despair. Brendan Rodgers' side faltered and lost momentum at the vital time. After the season restarted in June, they took the lead in injury time at Watford only to concede an equaliser, they lost timidly at Everton and they capitulated to lose 4-1 at Bournemouth with the game under control. Rodgers, in his assessment of how they fell out of the top four late on, can rightly point to the damaging impact of injuries to Maddison, his most innovative creator and crucial supplier to Golden Boot winner Jamie Vardy, and outstanding England left-back Ben Chilwell.
It is the round 5 of the Romania Liga 1 relegation group where FC Voluntari who is number 7 will be hosting CSM Politehnica Lasi who is number 14. FC Voluntari have not lost any of their 5 matches, they have won 2 and drawn 2.
Heracles have only lost two of their eight home games this season and Utrecht have only won three of their eight away games, picking up two draws. The hosts average 2.00 points per home game and the visitors average 1.38 points per away game, which is why we have backed a draw between the pair this weekend.
The seventh placed side in the Premier League would normally qualify for the Europa League, but the two places above seventh would not need to start their Europa League games until mid-September. By giving up the seventh spot, that would allow the Premier League to delay the start of next season's, er, season.
Al Hilal last won a continental title in 2002, when they defeated South Korea's Jeonbuk Motors to claim the Asian Cup Winners Cup, and they have not been crowned champions since the creation of the Asian Champions League 17 years ago. They are also seeking to become the first club from the west of Asia to win the title since Qatar's Al Sadd in 2011 as the competition has become dominated by sides from East Asia.

Anti-racism body Kick It Out says it has been "inundated" with reports of alleged racist abuse from a number of fans in Saturday's Manchester derby. United midfielder Fred also seemed to be hit by an object thrown from the crowd when the Brazilian went to take a corner midway through the second half. We hope swift action is taken to identify the offenders," Kick It Out said in a statement. Video footage showed one man appearing to make monkey gestures at Fred.
The team has scored in each of the last four, and in the last three they have scored two or more goals. That scoring form will come under a real test from Real Madrid, the team with the best defence in the league. The hosts have the second least goal difference among the teams in the top 10 (+3) and having conceded two goals in each of their last two matches, they will need to tighten up against Real.
Last season Academica won this fixture with 3-0 in the end and if the guests do not manage to score at least here in this encounter I do see the hosts capable once more to be scoring goals even 3 all by themselves here in this one as lately they won 4-3 at home with Oliveirense, won 3-1 with Casa Pia in their last two home games so really not that great in defense but 7 goals in those two home games is quite a lot, also 3-1 win away at Porto B and 2-1 win away at Covilha in their last 4 league games.
But there's no rush in terms of we need it now, now, now because Rome wasn't built in a day. Richards, who was England's youngest-ever defender when he made his debut at the age of 18, said City have been desperately unlucky with injuries to key defensive personnel this season but advised against panic buying in the winter transfer window.

Austria Vienna and Salzburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Austria Vienna this season have the following results: 5W, 7D and 7L. Meanwhile Salzburg have 13W, 5D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The Seagulls have now won four of their last eight Premier League games, with their most recent victory pushing them into 13th position and leaving them four points clear of the drop zone. There’s still a long way to go, of course, but the signs are encouraging for Graham Potter’s men.
There were details in the game which we knew but we lost because we didn't get them right. Against West Ham you have to make recovery runs. That is the bit we got wrong. It is why we are fighting for top four not one or two, because we don't get things right as much as the big boys do. I am not happy but at the same time we are two points ahead of Manchester United, who have been going great for some time.
Both Burnley and Bournemouth head to this game on the back of poor runs and though they managed wins in their last outings, it is insufficient to predict who will win here. However, Burnley have a great record over Bournemouth in the past few matches; they have six wins in the last 10 meetings. Burnley meets a Bournemouth side struggling at home, even though Burnley themselves are not the best performers away from home. Bournemouth have conceded two or more in five of their last nine home matches, while Burnley have conceded two or more in six of their last 10 matches. Neither side has had a steady run and none of the last six meetings between the two has ended in a draw. We will thus go with a double chance here on either Bournemouth or Burnley to win but not a draw.
