Time will tell if the industrious Ndidi is the next N'Golo Kante but the 22-year-old already leads Europe's major leagues in tackles and interceptions, giving the defence more room to breathe and prepare for dangerous situations. Talk of a title challenge this season may be premature, with leaders Liverpool eight points clear of the Foxes, but Rodgers' miserly defence has laid the foundations for a top-four finish.
They began explosively with the sort of goal the fearsome Ferguson used to trademark. Richarlison fed Djibril Sidibe wide and moved into the six-yard box to meet the cross with a bullet close-range header that ignited Goodison after five minutes. Equally fast and effective football almost delivered a second goal for the Brazilian soon after but the striker just failed to get on the end of Theo Walcott's cross.
What Klopp said to anger Holt Klopp said no first-team players will be involved in their FA Cup fourth-round replay with third-tier Shrewsbury Town next month because it clashes with the inaugural Premier League break. Klopp's much-changed side were forced to a replay by third-tier Shrewsbury on Sunday as they let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in a pulsating tie at New Meadow.
And while that, too, would keep the Warm-Up entertained — we're horrible cynics, deep down — it might not quite be so much fun for Roman Abramovich. But hey! Who needs trophies, when the whole nation is gladdened by your works. Cheers, Chelsea. This was great. Liverpool: making things just a little awkward for themselves An hour's rest for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Klopp was questioned when he sold Philippe Coutinho, who many regarded as his most important player, to Barcelona for £142m in January 2018 but he used the huge fee to build a more rounded team by buying Van Dijk and Alisson. Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham in November after a miserable start to the season in the league and cupsKlopp has manoeuvred Liverpool into a position of strength - where they can add to their squad with opportune acquisitions such as Takumi Minamino - whereas Mourinho and Spurs now face a rebuilding job.
Al Sahel fc have 1 win and 2 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 4 goals and conceded 10 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 1 and lose 3 of their last 4 games scoring 3 goals and conceding 2 goals.
Sheffield United have lost each of their last four league meetings with Newcastle, their longest ever such losing run against them. Only Southampton (five) have lost more Premier League games on home soil this season than Sheffield United at Bramall Lane (four). Saint-Maximin's goal (14:58) was the earliest Sheffield United have conceded in a league game at Bramall Lane since March 2017, when Ricky Holmes scored in the third minute for Charlton.
I always want to keep developing and improving in some way and physically I can't do that right now. There is so much knowledge in books and you don't realise until you start reading yourself. Rashford, who has not played since January because of a back injury, added that the Manchester United players "have been missing football" after all sport in England was postponed until at least 30 April. It's just about patience, I have been working hard on the bikes and following the programme that I have been given from the club," he said.
It would be the perfect time for a confidence boost too, because the next month has West Ham face the likes of Southampton, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. All very winnable games, and positive results in the next four weeks could prove crucial when the points are tallied up in May.
Newcastle manager Steve Bruce has dismissed suggestions midfielder Matty Longstaff is not playing because he has not signed a new contract. The 20-year-old has played just 35 minutes as a substitute in the Premier League since the season resumed. This debate that I'm not putting Matty in the team simply because of his contract is not true," said Bruce. He said Newcastle had "made the boy a huge offer", adding: "We think a lot of him and the ball is in his court.
Poland international Mateusz Klich was on the discard pile after returning from a loan spell in the Netherlands with FC Utrecht until the sale of Ronaldo Vieira and an injury to Adam Forshaw saw him create a blip on Bielsa's radar. He spotted something others had not; a whirring motor of a midfielder and ever-present figure who would drive United forward in each Championship game, whilst adding a goal or two along the way.
The away side were noticeably superior in the first half and could easily have led by more had Thorgan Hazard been able to steer his first-time effort from the edge of the box on target instead of wide. Wolfsburg came out fighting in the second half, though, and should have been level soon after the break. However, Renato Steffen could only hit the top of the bar with his shot after being put through on goal by Wout Weghorst.
Leicester City is having a very surprising season, currently in the 2nd place and trying to qualify for the Champions League next season, which would be a huge achievement for this squad. On this contest they will face Newcastle on the road, a team that is currently on the 11th place and is always very hard to beat when playing at home. The value is clearly on Newcastle here since they should be able to create a lot of problems to Leicester, which makes Newcastle's +0.5 Asian Handicap the best line to bet on this match here against Leicester City.
Real Esteli u20 is going to face Diriangen u20 for the 17th round of Nicaragua u20 league. The hosts play pretty well at home and tonight I bet them to win this match by more than two goals. Esteli scored at home 20 goals in the last five matches. They conceded only four and keep the clean sheets. The visitors lost three matches of last five on away and scored only 3. I don't think that Esteli will struggle against Diriangen. I think that we can see here more than three goals for the hosts and maybe they will keep a clean sheet

Their most recent match was a 1-1 draw at sixth placed Reading.
Where were all the fans? Only 5,828 were present for Cardiff against CarlisleOne other notable element of the weekend's FA Cup action was the number of empty seats at stadiums across the country. Traditionally a landmark moment in the football calendar, the third round saw attendances at Premier League and Championship grounds significantly down. Of the teams from those two divisions playing at home, only one - Middlesbrough, who hosted Tottenham - saw an increased attendance compared to their previous home fixture.

A win for either of these sides will boost their hopes of surviving relegation. A loss won't help them though and both sides are inconsistent at present. Brighton concede too many goals (six in their last two league games) but have only failed to score in one of their last eight at home. Watford have slipped a bit of late but still have a good chance of getting out of the bottom three. They regularly get on the scoresheet and the tip here is for both teams to score.

For the match between Charlton Athletic and Queens Park Rangers, I am backing the draw as I believe we will see a very boring game that will be played mainly in the middle of the pitch and we should not even see a goal here

This season in the Bundesliga, at home, they have only lost to Bayern Munich. Schalke beat Leipzig 3-1 away in the first leg and will be hoping to complete a double when the league title contenders come calling.
Jurgen Klopp wants to change the perception of the Club World Cup as Liverpool prepare to face Flamengo in the final in Doha on Saturday. The Reds faced criticism for fielding their youngest-ever side in the Carabao Cup loss to Aston Villa, choosing instead to focus on events in Qatar. The view in Europe is different to the rest of the world [about its value] but we want to change that view," he said.
Olivier Giroud has scored four goals in his last seven Premier League games for Chelsea, more than he had netted in his previous 38 appearances (3).

We’ve made a big mistake for their first goal and we are getting punished massively for that at the moment. It was a tough last 15 minutes. Villa are only two points from safety with a game in hand, but they still have to play Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Wolves and Sheffield United. You wouldn’t fancy them to get much from those, especially on this evidence.

Staff had their temperate checked on their way into the groundThere is a growing expectation that Premier League matches in England may have to played behind closed doors within the next two weeks, depending on government advice. Italy's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora accused Serie A of being "irresponsible" for ignoring his calls for football to be suspended because of coronavirus.
They nicked a goal from a set piece, then they sat deep and invited their opponents to break them down. Should have worked, mind. Norwich aren’t great. But then backup-to-the-backup keeper Michel Vorm spilled a straight one, the Canaries pounced, and a late Spurs rally couldn’t prevent extra time and then penalties.

Racist incidents have tainted European soccer in recent months. Italian striker Mario Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch after receiving alleged racist abuse during Brescia's Serie A match against Hellas Verona this month. In the Dutch second division last weekend, Excelsior forward Ahmad Mendes Moreira was racially abused by a section of FC Den Bosch supporters, and the game was suspended for half an hour after the referee decided to take the players off the pitch.
Our culture is not about results or one-off games, it's about a level of sustained performance every single day and every training session. Ainsworth eager to prove doubters wrong Gareth Ainsworth captained Wycombe before retiring in 2013Wycombe moved up a whopping five places to third in the final League One table after it was settled on a points-per-game basis, and boss Gareth Ainsworth thinks this has given their critics reason to believe they will not seize the opportunity when they face Fleetwood.

Everton have to aim for European football every year, that's the minimum - we want to be in the top six. Ancelotti did not make radical changes as he began his pursuit of that aim. He has utilised either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation throughout large parts of his career and, just like Ferguson, used the latter on Thursday, although he did play Djibril Sidibe in a more advanced position down the right flank, with him providing the cross for Calvert-Lewin's winner.
Winning is not boring - losing and drawing is boring. Biggest regret?"When I was 17 I went to America to study at university because I got told I wasn't good enough to go to this England programme. I only stayed the one year. They said if I stay, I won't get picked for England for the next couple of years - it's too far. So I came back to England and then I had a run of injuries and thought I should have just stayed in America.
