Kuktosh did show big improvement, comparing to the previous year, when team was in the relegation play off, They went back in the current season, with very good performances, and well results against some of the top league rivals. Team is still underdog here, against the current Champion, but they should avoid some big loss in the game, and put the favorite on hard challenge.
Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta watched on as Everton and Arsenal played out a dire goalless draw that demonstrated just why the clubs are seeking a new approach. See alsoMatchcast: Everton - Arsenal Ancelotti was announced as the latest Toffees boss just prior to the game at Goodison Park and followed hot on the heels of Arsenal's unveiling of Arteta on Friday evening.
Aubameyang struck in the 12th minute, steering a low shot past goalkeeper Vicente Guaita after he was put through by Alexandre Lacazette, with Arsenal dominating an uneventful first half at Selhurst Park. Ayew levelled in the 54th minute with a heavily deflected shot which left keeper Bernd Leno stranded after it came off defender David Luiz, as the visitors failed to clear a tame-looking low cross from the right.
I heard all sorts of things, not even that long ago. It's easy to speak well of him now, but if we think back to just a few weeks ago. Conte. I always said Romelu was a rough diamond that needed work to smooth him out. Lautaro Martinez is the same. These lads are 26 and 22-years-old, they are still young.

Mario will always be a talking-point because he is news," Grosso said after a loss which kept his team bottom of Serie A with seven points from 12 games.
Getty Images 80’ - GOAL! Arsenal 1-2 Brighton (Maupay) Lovely goal! What an impact! Trossard finds Mooy down the left, who could cross but takes him time, eventually clipping a ball that's sort of behind Maupay. But he adjusts brilliantly to flick-guide a header which sails into the far corner! He's played really well tonight, darting and prompting, and that goal has been well earned.
Spanish capital. Griezmann was whistled and jeered relentlessly by Atletico fans, who held up banners criticising him, including one reading: "You wanted to make a name (for yourself) but forgot to be a man. The striker, who has scored only five goals in 18 appearances in all competitions for the Catalans, missed his side's best chance with the game poised at 0-0, volleying high over the bar from Luis Suarez's cross.
If Rangers win their game in hand and match Celtic result for result then they're champions. They'd need to show all kinds of steel and nerve to get over the line, but they haven't been lacking in those departments this season. Rangers were emphatically the better side on Sunday and not even a goal awarded to Celtic in error and another red card for Morelos could stop them. Last month they lost the League Cup final to their great rivals in the most painful circumstances but they looked like the team that had taken more from that day at Hampden.
Solskjaer, who took charge of United in December last year, has guided the team to eighth in the standings after 18 games and their tally of 25 points is four fewer than what they had collected at this stage last season. The 2-0 loss to bottom-placed Watford on Sunday was their fifth of the campaign, with the team failing to build on wins over Tottenham Hotspur and champions Manchester City earlier this month.
Viktoria Plzen is still in title race and surely I expect from them to get the easy win versus one of the worst teams in the league,Zlin on the road has 1-4-8 record but Plzen at home has 11-1-2 with 35 scored goals which is great offense so I think it is very realistic to expect at least 3 or even maybe 4 goals from Plzen tonight and on the other side Zlin offense on the road is very bad with just 9 scored goals so I think 2-0 or 3-0 or even 4-0 is going to be correct outcome of this one

The Gunners were somewhat shaky defensively against Wolverhampton Wanderers but managed an impressive 2-0 win in the Saturday game. The win also came with a third straight clean sheet in the league, signaling an improvement in defence since Arteta started playing with wingbacks. While they were lucky to keep a clean sheet against Wolves, we can’t fault Arsenal’s defensive display, looking at how poor they were in the opening games after the restart.
So far so good but, given future events on and off the field at Spurs, the sentences that followed can now be viewed as hugely significant. Pochettino said: "We need to start to think about the new chapter, the new era, to ensure Tottenham is a real contender for the big things. With our training ground, this stadium you must think big. We have to behave like a big club. And, for a few months, it seemed like everyone at Spurs was on the same page.
Any time a side makes a trip to Cumbria, they know that they are probably not going to have an easy time of things. However, this particular fixture sees a Carlisle side who are short of confidence and goals at the moment coming up against a Plymouth side who are at the top of their game. While we do not expect it to be a walkover, an away win appears to be the way to go.
Paris St-Germain completed an unbeaten record in the Champions League group stage with a 5-0 win over Galatasaray. Mauro Icardi gave them the lead before Pablo Sarabia doubled the advantage. Neymar scored his first Champions League goal this season as he combined with Kylian Mbappe to make it 3-0 before he turned provider for Mbappe. Edinson Cavani made it five with a penalty as Thomas Tuchel's side finished five points clear of Real Madrid at the top of Group A.
It proved costly as Pep Guardiola's men took complete control with a devastating first-half display in which they scored three goals within 20 minutes. The sublime Kevin de Bruyne converted the opener from the penalty spot after Joe Gomez hauled down Raheem Sterling and the England international finished off a swift counter-attack for the second. Midfielder Phil Foden further enhanced his reputation as a star in the making, coolly slotting home before half-time following a quick one-two with De Bruyne.
I'm not a player that likes to be on the floor because I'm tough but it was not my fault because it was a clear stamp on my shin, I felt it straight away," he said. I was surprised it was not a red card, not even a yellow card. Obviously everybody makes mistakes but when you have a lot of replays it could be easier.
My pick for this match in Bundesliga between Schalke 04 vs Werder Bremen is Werder to win. Odd is 2.90. Schalke is playing very poorly this season. They haven't won a single match in the last 5 matches. Bremen have won 4 times in the last 5 direct matches. No doubt the goals in this match is likely to be on the high side. Looks like that's the outcome when they meet. All of the last 5 meetings have 3 ended with over 2.5 goals. I think that Werder Bremen will win this match 2:1. They fight to stay in the league.
Scrapping it is not an option - what we have to do is try and make VAR better. VAR has been brought in to the Premier League to decide on goals, penalties, red cards and offside decisions. Masters, who was appointed on a permanent basis in December after being in temporary charge for more than a year, said the Premier League would discuss changes to VAR with the clubs in April.
What is interesting about this game is that they met at Maritzburg stadium one month ago and back than Supersport won the game with 2-0 in the end this while last season at home against this same opponent they also won the game with 1-0 in the end that time. At this moment Supersport even defeated the league leaders from Kaizer at home last round with 2-1 in the end and it was only the 2nd defeat for Kaiser in 15 games in the league this season, so you can understand why odds are not the best for the home win here.

Familiar foesThis was the third meeting between these sides in the space of 29 days and their sixth encounter in less than a year. As the previous five had resulted in a couple of 2-1 victories for Wolves, a 1-0 triumph for United and two draws, it was perhaps no surprise the latest encounter should be equally tight. The visitors did have chances, with Raul Jimenez forcing an excellent second-half save from United keeper David de Gea and Romain Saiss heading over when he was well placed to do much better 11 minutes from time.
Saka became part of the first-team squad at the Emirates last season, but due to injuries to Sead Kolasinac and Kieran Tierney, the England youth player has found himself filling in at left-back this term. Saka has entered the final 18 months of his current contract, which is worth roughly £3,000 a week, but with some of Europe's biggest clubs sniffing around their future star, Arsenal have offered him an extension.
Akhmat could remain unbeaten here. There are two reasons for my pick. First reason is connect with the actual form. Somebody may argue because there was a winter break in Russia and just one round is played after, but I think the overall results are still very important for the players confidence. So, Akhmat have just one defeat on the last seven matches in the Premier League. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. On contrary, Lokomotiv Moscow have two defeats on the last three matches, with just one draw.
Multiple reports suggest Barcelona will announce Valverde's departure later on Monday evening. It appears that former Real Betis head coach Setien is the favourite to replace Valverde. He led Betis to a sixth-place finish in 2017/18 but was sacked at the end of last season. Quique Setién is the favourite to take chargeGetty Images Barca legend Xavi had reportedly been offered the job, but said he would only take over in the summer.
Yet Liverpool only have themselves to blame for failing to finish the job in Shropshire. Klopp made 11 changes to the side that started the 2-1 win at Wolves on Thursday that sent them 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League. Jones, whose sublime goal knocked out Everton in the third round, underlined his potential with a tidy finish from Pedro Chirivella's cleverly disguised pass. Love's own goal ought to have sealed it but Shrewsbury were gutsy throughout with Adrian forced to produce some smart saves as the hosts came roaring back.
But they went up another level and we didn't do the same. On his future: "I cannot control it. When we lose we can say sorry to the fans, the owners and players, but we have the same feeling, we want to fight.

It just doesn't get any worse than that. Such extraordinary indifference by those who own the club to what is clearly a crisis as far as United fans are concerned is starting to grate. This perceived contempt by the owners to the concerns of fans has erupted into threatening behaviour towards executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, when in fact the Glazer family are to blame - and guess what? Solskjaer and Woodward have been left holding the baby.
Their nearest challengers have either stuttered or taken points off each other, while Bilic's side have won three on the spin to put a previous seven-game winless streak behind them. The Baggies will want to keep this momentum going as long as possible when they look at the compact situation behind them, as just three points separate second and seventh place. What the managers saidReading manager Mark Bowen:"The team gave me everything I thought they could give.

WERE THERE ANY RUMOURS ABOUT HIS DEPARTURE? Nobody in the media business had a clue about this, and it also came out of nowhere for the club too. Klinsmann announced his decision via Facebook and Hertha didn't react until an hour later with an official statement that they were "very surprised" and that there were no hints that this would happen.
The Bayern match will be one when I am going to rest some players. Tottenham, then-managed by Mauricio Pochettino, were embarrassed in the home match against Bayern in October, losing 7-2 in London, before the Argentine was sacked last month. Mourinho, a Champions League winner with Porto in 2003-04 and with Inter Milan in 2009-10, was in charge for Spurs' match against Olympiakos and, despite falling 2-0 behind, a 4-2 victory secured their place in the knockout phase.
Polkowice is 8th on the table with 30 points from 22 played matches. They will not have full squad in this match. Legionowo is 17th on the table with 13 points. This team will probably be relegated, relegated, they are 14 points behind the safe zone. Polkowice should struggle in this match, they will not have full squad. I predict that both teams will play at full strength in the first round and the second half goes on during this match... The score prediction for this match is under 3 goals at the last minute of the match running... g
But he's made his decision and he's one of those managers that has credit in the bank because he's been so good. This tie had the potential to be a real legacy for the club'Shrewsbury boss Sam Ricketts said before the replay that the League One club missed out on making more money from it. The Reds cut ticket prices to £15 for adults and £1 for children while the game was not shown live on television.
They worked very hard to put us under pressure and close us down. We struggled to move the ball today. We had to move it sideways a lot and when we lost the ball going across the line it created problems for ourselves. Preston boss Alex Neil:"It took a deflected effort for them to get something from the game. Naturally we are disappointed not to win but I am proud of my players," he said. They are one of the top sides in this division and we more than matched them.
