With Juergen Klopp opting to rest his senior squad for the replay during the Premier League's winter break, Milner, 34, took it upon himself to get heavily involved in the young side's buildup to the clash at Anfield, which Liverpool won 1-0. He trained with us yesterday and he asked whether he could come along.
All you can go on is his previous record and in almost every job he has been in he has achieved," added Kerr. He has won leagues, he has won cups, he had an immediate impact on the Under-21s and put them into contention to qualify (for the Euro 2021 championships) for the first time, so given that record and that experience he is entitled to go at it. His style is adventurous, attacking and courageous football.
Although this is a play-off match in the Austrian league, the house still evaluates a quite different match between the two teams. Salzburg had to be a guest but were pushed up to 2 draws. If put them in the last confrontation, perhaps it is a bad result when only 2-2 draw. But looking at the whole picture, maybe the fans will feel that Hartberg is lucky in that match. Salzburg received a red card and it was an unexpected result.
The 61-year-old Becali, who made a fortune in real estate after the fall of communism in 1989 and served as a member of the European Parliament, praised CFR Cluj coach Dan Petrescu, a former Chelsea and Southampton right back, for restoring discipline at the club. Look at Dan Petrescu," said Becali. CFR players have sex only once a week.
The start of the season has been very disappointing from Napoli point of view, they have failed to live up to the expectation placed on them. At the start of the season they were named as the most likely challengers to Juventus, although right now they are simply miles away from that. They haven't lost too many too many, and their biggest problem has been converting draws into win. Four of those draws have come in their last five games in what has been frustrating run for them and their fans. Bologna have not been faring much better themselves, without a win in their last four, in the bottom half of the table and they go into the weekend just three point clear of the relegation zone. The expectation of them are very low here, but they see this as a big opportunity, playing Napoli at exactly the right time while they are going through this rough spell.
For now the team will play in Fort Lauderdale, 25 miles (47 km) to the north of Miami, although MLS is determined to get a downtown Miami stadium for the team.

Real were one of the only major football clubs in Europe that didn't have a women's team. Lyon forward Ada Hegerberg, the first winner of the Women's Ballon d'Or in 2018, said the creation was "a huge positive". The 24-year-old added: "I'm hoping they will stabilise the investment over a long period and that they have a long-term perspective because it can't happen overnight. Tacon, formed in 2014, went on a recruitment drive after promotion to the Spanish women's top flight last season, knowing there was the likelihood of a takeover.

Blunt Watford have pockets pickedQuique Sanchez Flores returned to Watford in September with a brief to arrest the malaise that had set in under his predecessor Javi Gracia.

These two sides haven’t locked horns since 2015 but Gil Vicente have only lost one of their last four matches against Guimaraes. The hosts have won three of their last six matches while Guimaraes have drawn three of their last six matches, all of which ended 1-1, so you can start to see why we have backed Gil Vicente with a double chance bet this weekend.
The celebrations were mad too. I remember slipping over and Rachel Yankey tried to catch me. It was probably the first time in my career that she didn't!It gave the team a lot of confidence because it was our first win in the tournament. About 30,000 people were in the crowd at Etihad Stadium too so it was a big moment for women's football. Birmingham City 2-2 (3-2 pens) Chelsea, FA Cup final - 2012 This is one of my most special goals because of how much Birmingham City mean to me.
WEDNESDAY'S STORIES 20:00: Roberto Moreno has spoken after his replacement as Spain manager by Luis Enrique, who had stepped down earlier this year for family reasons.

Bayern 2 have really been impressive this season with scintillating performances, much to the surprise of many. The curious thing is that Bundesliga B teams are not allowed to play in the 2nd league, and right now they occupy the 3rd position in the league with is a promotion winning spot, so am interested to see what will happen at the end of the the season .
Stockley Park. Yes, VAR was again the main talking point as goals were ruled out for Crystal Palace, Norwich and Wolves for minute offside decisions across Saturday and Sunday – sparking fury in the stands and across social media. And the real kicker? All of these decisions were *correct*. Whereas verdicts on incidents like penalties and red cards are a case of simply transferring human judgement from a guy without the benefit of a replay to one who does, offside decisions are supposed to be a matter of plain fact.
There are 37 members of the council, including president Gianni Infantino, while Football Association chairman Greg Clarke is among nine Uefa representatives. Colombia will expect to receive the support of the five representatives from South American (Conmebol), particularly after Brazil declared its backing upon dropping its own bid. The three members from the Oceania Football Federation are expected to vote for the Australia-New Zealand bid, as well as the seven members from Asia, with the two nations straddling two different confederations.

The Uefa route didn't happen a while ago," the Parishes of Jersey manager James Scott told BBC Radio Jersey. Has much happened since then regarding the Uefa offer of maybe getting some fixtures for the Jersey FA when they were unsuccessful with their application? Honestly, no. So Conifa offers something completely different. The reality is, we haven't got into Uefa, so what is the Plan B? If this World Cup goes to plan, potentially this could be the route going forward.
The best bet is going on the over 2.5 goals, as the hosts are in superb form with 3 wins in a row in the league at this moment and even against two strong opponents on the road winning with same score 2-1 away at both Dinamo Minsk last round and also at Soligorsk three rounds ago games in which they had the lead 2-0 both times and were excellent attacking minded and efficient in front of goal, but at home they tend to be more soft in defense.

Arsenal can’t afford to dally, to pussyfoot around or give Freddie Ljungberg a chance. He may be a favourite with Arsenal fans as a player but to manage Arsenal you need a bit more about you and a bit more experience. There are good managers out there. Go after somebody. Be proactive. Welcome to a new week It's Monday morning but there's still one instalment of the weekend's Premier League action, a huge London derby at the London Stadium as beleaguered Arsenal take on beleaguered West Ham.
Straighter backs. Higher shoulders. Barely-repressed smiles. Or more specifically: Mesut Özil sprinting around like Gennaro Gattuso, and David Luiz strolling around like Franco Baresi. No wonder poor United looked a bit confused. United also looked confused because they are, well, quite confused: when Plan A (“have some quick lads”) doesn’t work they default to Plan B (“have Anthony Martial dribble around the entire defence”), and when that doesn’t work they lose.
Two bits of lethal finishing gave them breathing space before the break but they only managed one further effort at goal in the second half, when Phil Foden saw his effort blocked at close-range by Aaron Ramsdale. With second-place already secured and next year's Champions League appearance now certain, they had little to play for against Bournemouth, and it showed. Man of the match - Junior Stanislas (Bournemouth) A live-wire down the right in terms of creating chances, and went agonisingly close to scoring himself with that free-kick.
Toone started on the bench against Brighton and Stoney admitted her players are causing her plenty of selection dilemmas as United got back to winning ways in the league after their defeat to Chelsea. I think that was one of our better, complete performances," said Stoney of the win over Brighton. I thought we looked after the ball and executed the game plan brilliantly.
National soccer federation chief Luis Rubiales led a revamp of the Super Cup by expanding the contest between the league champions and Copa del Rey winners to a four-team format, and shifting the event from August to January and pledging to take it outside Spain. The move to Saudi Arabia has nevertheless led to criticism from human rights groups as well as traditionalist fans of the competition in Spain.
To prove that last season's third-place finish was no one-off, Kilmarnock have been tussling in the top six once again this term. Wednesday's hosts come into this match in 5th, six points behind Aberdeen, who're currently 3rd.
Video - Mourinho: Kane could be out until end of the season00:33 It now looks as though Kane, who has scored 27 goals for Tottenham and England this season, will be back to play some part in the Premier League run-in. That will be a relief for England manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the Euro 2020 championship which starts in June.
It was also needed because the pages would fill up so quickly with stamps from the different countries visited. In my early days at BBC Radio 5 Live, I hadn't yet earned my stripes to cover the big Champions League games, so I was often dispatched to follow English clubs in the early rounds of the old Uefa Cup. That would bring you to some very unusual places.

Did you know? Firmino became the fifth Liverpool player to record three assists in a single Premier League match, after (most recent first) Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alberto Aquilani, Vladimir Smicer and Stan Collymore. Son Heung-min: If ever Tottenham needed a performance out of Son Heung-min, then this was it. In the absence of Harry Kane, Spurs are struggling up front. Son is a runner and not a natural striker with his back to goal, which leaves Spurs lacking someone who can hold and retain the ball.
He added: "I am absolutely delighted that our approach has been vindicated throughout, following an intense period of legal scrutiny and review. It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team. SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan confirmed that three members of the organisation's executive team were interviewed by the panel and thousands of pages of evidence were considered.

British sport remains open for business - but it seems to be just a matter of time before the need to protect the public from the coronavirus outbreak causes major disruption to the Premier League. Until government advice changes, the English top flight will carry on as normal, starting with Wednesday's rearranged game between Manchester City and Arsenal at Etihad Stadium. But if the trend in Italy, Greece and France is followed, matches behind closed doors are on their way.
Monchengladbach have performed particularly poorly in-front of goal away from home this season, relative to their league position. Only four teams have scored fewer away goals than Monchengladbach. Of those four teams, only ninth-placed Wolfsburg currently occupy a place in the top half of the table.
Fourth-tier Saarbrucken's German Cup fairy tale came to an end as they were well beaten by Bayer Leverkusen in an empty stadium in the semi-final. The hosts, who had not played in three months, looked off the pace and trailed to Moussa Diaby's volley. Lucas Alario doubled the lead in the 19th minute after a defensive mix-up. Saarbrucken may have feared a thrashing then but Leverkusen only scored once more, as Karim Bellarabi blasted the ball into the roof of the net.

Having scored another ridiculous goal to add to his collection - driving between two Atleti players like a nail through plasterboard and burying a firm effort - the best player in the world was evidently irked at the standard of the players playing behind him. It is a shame, we played a great game, after so long we felt good again, we were in control, dominated and attacked all the time," Messi said.
I don’t think we should stop talking about the top four,” he said. For us it’s about concentrating on what we’re doing here and now and not look up, down, sideways. We just need to work on our own game and our own confidence. The Warm-Up: Are Manchester United really back?

Porto will host Sporting Braga for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts are favorites in this game. Porto are more ambitious team in this league. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. Porto are in solid shape. They have three consecutive victories. Also, we have Braga who's is very average team in this season. Braga have big fluctuations. True, they have better results in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. No doubt, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - draw.
Chemnitzer and Braunschweig will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Chemnitzer this season have the following results: 10W, 10D and 14L. Meanwhile Braunschweig have 16W, 10D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Legia Warsaw have won four of their last five games. At home they have won ten of their last fourteen games. They will face Arka gdynia who have lost four of their last five games. On the road Arka gdynia have lost ten of their last thirteen league games. Arka gdynia are in relegation places and will find it tough to get any point against in form Legia Warsaw. The coach will focus on the next game against Wisla plock on Sunday therefore he will rotate players.
Utrecht look to bounce back from the 4-0 defeat in Amsterdam before the international break but face another tricky test in the form of second-placed AZ Alkmaar this Saturday. The visitors won 3-0 at home against Emmen to make it five victories on the run in all competitions but remain six points behind the league leaders Ajax.
New technology means they can do squad sessions on exercise bikes and work on gym mats in an effort to maintain fitness even though, essentially, they are stuck at home virtually all day like everyone else in the country. Crucially though, Brighton are also using a psychologist. The Seagulls took the decision to keep all their players in the UK rather than let them fly home - and Potter feels looking after their mental wellbeing is hugely important at the present time.
Real Madrid will take Valencia in their field. The real stadium is small, the field is spare, there should be no support as such, the stands are empty, which means that Valencia has chances in today's game and are pretty good. Although Real Madrid won 3-1 in the last round, they didn’t seem to say that it’s good, some failures were inexplicable against the Eibar, in the second half they didn’t show anything interesting at all, I think goals will be from both sides. Historically, in personal meetings from the last 17 matches, all were played for both, the teams are able to score each other and in this match I think they will find weaknesses, as it happens with them
Alex McCarthy is the first Southampton goalkeeper to save a penalty at St Mary's in the Premier League since Kelvin Davis vs Manchester United in September 2012 - 2,743 days ago.

Johan Cruyff invented modern football. He was a beautiful, brilliant and inspirational player and that alone would have placed him firmly in the pantheon, but what he did as a coach is unparalleled. When he took over Barcelona in 1988, they had won two league titles in 28 years. Crisis had followed crisis.
Newcastle hadn't played well, creating little and lacking rhythm in their play, but they stunned Palace just when the visitors looked to be on top. After a first half void of any drama or excitement, the visitors looked the more threatening after the restart and Christian Benteke forced a great save from Martin Dubravka while Patrick van Aanholt almost scored directly from a corner.
