I don't want it to seem like it was a knee-jerk reaction to what has been said in the media - it wasn't that at all," Francis said. I spoke to Jordan in the morning of the day Matt Hancock came out and made his comments, so it was bad timing. With the problems we have across the country, for him to pick out footballers was disappointing.

The argument is some have stretched themselves too far and should not be allowed to avoid the consequences. When Covid-19 has been dealt with and life has returned to normal, it is anticipated the financial operations of EFL clubs will be looked at again.

Osipovichy is going to pick Energosbyt BSATU for the first leg of the second league and they are a huge favorite here to pick a victory. Osipovichy lost against FK Smolichev in the cup game but only 0:1. Their opponent is an amateur team from Belarus and they had not played any official games. I don't think that Energosbyt is able to pick a win here. Maybe they will be able to score a goal or maybe two but Osipovichy is a stronger team. My bet for this clash is Osipovichy to pick a victory with at least two goals advantage. I think about 4:0
The brothers were invited to Paraguay by a local casino owner and had arrived on Wednesday to take part in a soccer clinic for children and a book launch.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2Hugh's prediction: 0-0Matthew's prediction: 1-4SUNDAY Bournemouth v Watford (14:00 GMT)Bournemouth's performance in their last Premier League game, a 4-0 defeat by West Ham on New Year's Day, was probably their worst since they were promoted to the top flight in 2015. Watford being held by Tranmere after going 3-0 up was probably the strangest result of the FA Cup third round - and good luck to them in the replay because have you seen the pitch at Prenton Park? Media playback is not supported on this device League One Tranmere come back from 3-0 down at Watford to earn replay Look at league form, and there is only one winner - the resurgent Hornets - but I still think the Cherries are capable of springing a surprise.

Holstein Kiel will host Greuther Furth for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. I think, Holstein Kiel are favorites on the home ground. True, this will not be an easy task. In any case, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, Holstein Kiel are in poor shape. They have two consecutive losses. On the other hand, Greuther Furth is a very unpredictable team. However, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. In previous game Greuther Furth is won 2-0 against strong Stuttgart. My pick - Greuther Furth will win.
It was a massive challenge for him to play against Troy Deeney," Klopp added. So many other centre-halves would struggle in this specific situation, Joe has had problems as well. Losing the first ball is never the problem, because Troy cannot score from there, so it's about formations around that. Both Dejan and Joel Matip have played sensational games for us in this position but you need to be healthy and fit and when you are fit you need rhythm and that is the most difficult thing to get in football.

There are some not getting much football but they could be needed during the second half of the season. ChelseaRoss Mooring - Chelsea Fancast Frank Lampard's first year as Chelsea manager is still a work in progress and Champions League qualification is far from assured, but it is likely the club won't be making any splash signings to end the transfer window. This in spite of rumours linking strikers Edinson Cavani and Krzysztof Piatek to Stamford Bridge, with Tammy Abraham having recently taken a nasty knock and Olivier Giroud potentially Inter Milan-bound.
Chelsea to win, which is no good for Tottenham. Steve on the race for the top four: I still have hopes for the top four for Spurs at the moment, even if I don't think it will happen. There are three teams nailed on - Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester - but then another six teams are in the hunt and, a bit like last season, no-one really seems to want to be there. No team is making the fourth place theirs.

Tempers flared, Mitrovic backed down and Kamara took the penalty, only to see his effort saved. Mitrovic then spared his team-mate's blushes by scoring a late winner but the two clashed again a couple of weeks later.

From their goal until halftime is the worst we've played," Solskjaer told reporters. From the first goal until halftime we couldn't cope. We let them play, our heads dropped, we made decisions we shouldn't and it needed sorting at half time. It's natural your head goes down when you feel you're not performing, but we've got to get out of it quicker.
The Belgian, who now has 14 league goals this term, intercepted a pass just inside his own half, charged forward and scored with a shot which went in off the post.

But let's not have any more talk of respecting the Cup. It has become an unwelcome distraction for the big clubs and many not so big clubs. The fixture list is over-full and it is time the game undertook a serious review of the English season and asked itself whether there is any point in asking Premier League clubs to play in two domestic cup competitions that they show such little interest in.
Between them these two clubs have drawn 26 league games and another looks likely here. Wolves are in good form but that doesn't always get turned into a home victory. Arsenal have improved in their last three league and cup games and can get a draw here, though they'd love to get a win.
