West Bromwich Albion dropped two points in their quest for an automatic Championship promotion place as they were held to a draw by former boss Tony Mowbray's Blackburn Rovers. The Baggies' failure to make it four straight wins means they stay second, still behind leaders Leeds United on goal difference. But third-placed Brentford's earlier win at Derby narrows that gap to only three points. Joe Rothwell's second-half equaliser earned play-off hopefuls Rovers a deserved share of the spoils after Filip Krovinovic had put Albion ahead.
Chemnitzer FC and Preussen Munster are both in the relegation zone but while Preussen Munster have a good 4-2-2 record in the last 8 league games, Chemnitzer have lost all of the last 4 league games scoring only 1 goal.
He has the necessary quality to do well, but we are bottom of the table and you need more than a striker who can hit the ball hard and score when he gets it. You also need willingness, hard work and something more," Grosso said. If Mario cannot make himself available, the team will struggle to support him.
It certainly hasn’t been a strong season for PSV, but can they salvage some pride with a run in the KNVB Beker this term? The visitors have been handed a boost with a straightforward clash on Wednesday night, but they could have concerns following their mixed results on the road this term.
Richarlison equalised against the run of play from Lucas Digne's wonderful 40-yard cross-field ball. The Saints could have gone down to 10 men when Jan Bednarek fouled Richarlison on the edge of the area but he stayed on the pitch after a video assistant referee consultation. Everton and Southampton - who both had spells in the relegation zone before Christmas - remain 11th and 12th respectively, safe from relegation but unlikely to threaten the European places.

I hope everything gets clear and we eradicate it as soon as possible. The alleged racist incident is the latest one at a high-level Premier League game. Manchester United's Fred claimed he was victim of a monkey gesture by a Manchester City fan. In July Chelsea banned one of their fans for life after he racially abused Manchester City's Raheem Sterling.
Lazio, who're four point in front of Cagliari, are also enjoying a promising campaign. Like the hosts, Monday's visitors have done well at home. In fact, they've done exceptionally well at home, though that's not to say that they've been ineffective on the road.
Now is not his moment, but it could arrive soon," Zidane told a news conference ahead of Real's La Liga trip to Alaves on Saturday. What has changed is that Hazard and Rodrygo are in the team, he is still training hard and last year he did well but the problem is there are other players and I have to make a choice.

But Tottenham's early promise faded as Norwich showed again why they are not being written off as relegation certainties. Emiliano Buendia and Todd Cantwell were a constant menace with Buendia forcing a fine save from Michel Vorm who was playing his first game for Tottenham for 17 months. Vorm made a dreadful mess of Kenny McLean's shot in the 78th minute, spilling the ball into the path of Josip Drmic who bundled in the equaliser.
I put him in the team if I see every day that his attitude, his desire and his understanding of what we're trying to do is there and he has the will," Arteta told reporters. The former Germany international was often left out of the team and sometimes failed to even make the bench under previous manager Unai Emery, leading to frequent speculation that his services were no longer required at the north London club.
Bourg en Bresse has been a very nice surprise on the French Cup. They are a team from the lower divisions and will now have a very difficult task on this match against one of the best teams in French football. Lyon is clearly the better side and although the coach might make some small changes on the team, they know how important this competition is to them since the league is almost impossible to win and for that reason, we expect a solid win from Lyon here with great value on their -1.5 Asian Handicap as the best bet.
Chances went begging at either end before Fabian Schar volleyed in a 59th-minute equaliser, firing past Jordan Pickford after Andy Carroll had headed a Jetro Willems free kick into the defender's path. Everton, whose lightning breaks kept carving open the home team's defence all afternoon, struck again five minutes later when Calvert-Lewin bundled in Richarlison's perfect low cross from the right.
Fifth-placed Roma, suffering from the inconsistency which has dogged them over the last few seasons, had lost their last three league games while Lecce had won theirs, but they made surprisingly light work of the visitors. Mkhitaryan set up the first goal in the 13th minute when he laid the ball off for Cengiz Under to burst through the Rome defence and comfortably beat Mauro Vigorito.
In truth, Juve have exerted a certain amount of control over this group, and control is exactly what they did to Leverkusen when winning the reverse fixture by three goals to nil. On that occasion, the German side failed to get seriously involved, as they registered zero shots on target.
York city sit on 2nd spot right now. They are suffering in their home matches but they have the best away record of the league. They have won 6 of their last 9 away matches losing only one of them. They are coming from 1-0 victory against Alfreton town.

Even in his latter years, Peters was still able to show the old mastery and enjoyed an Indian summer at Carrow Road, winning the club's player of the year award in 1976 and 1977. In 2002 he was made an inaugural member of Norwich City's Hall Of Fame. In 1978, while still at Norwich, Peters was made an MBE for services to football. He is still regarded as one of the finest players to represent the Canaries, scoring 44 goals in 206 league appearances before joining Sheffield United as player-coach in July 1980.
Real coach Zinedine Zidane had no complaints about the foul and said he was more angry with the way his side switched off in the final quarter of an hour. The referee told me there was no push and he made his decision. What bothers me is what we did, the errors we made hurt a lot because we didn't deserve this.
He did not name Pogba during his interview with a Spanish newspaper, the long history of this transfer saga points towards the midfielder being a prime candidate to be Raiola's ‘great footballer’. Raiola also represents, among others, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Erling Haaland. Liverpool handed title boost The most important thing to take from the (virtual) meeting at Premier League HQ is the determination to finish the season.

Given the recent efforts of both, it would be a surprise if either side won this by anything other than a slender margin. However, given that there's been little between the pair, the visitors deserve slightly more respect in the early betting. Punters should side with 'Shrewsbury +1 Handicap' Shrewsbury have avoided defeat in seven of their last nine, conceding only two goals in those seven. Such a record is particularly impressive when we consider that the Shrews have faced sides such as Oxford and Rotherham during that time. At the end of the day, this is a fixture that could go either way, but given that Fleetwood haven't been prolific in terms of wins of late and haven't scored many goals, the visitors, who're no strangers to avoiding defeat on the road, look a good bet to either win or draw.
Ajax have signed winger Antony Matheus dos Santos from Sao Paulo for an initial 15. The 19-year-old, known as Antony, will join Ajax in July on a five-year deal. The move comes after Ajax forward Hakim Ziyech agreed to join Chelsea in the summer for 40m euros (£33. We are getting a creative player who can play in every position up front," said Ajax director of football Marc Overmars. Some of our players will be leaving this summer - we need to plan for that, so it's great that we've been able to finalise this transfer.

Coaches from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar have all vented their frustration over issues ranging from traffic snarl-ups and bland food to poor training sites and drivers dropping them off at the wrong hotels. On their arrival, Cambodia's players were stranded at the airport without transportation for three hours, then waited another eight hours for their hotel rooms to be prepared.
Pogba demonstrated the difference he can make when introduced as a 63rd minute substitute, if not exactly transforming a previously listless United then at least giving them impetus, threat and drive. These games may be played in front of 300 people or even less in the remaining weeks of this season but the stakes are high amid the eerie silence. They certainly were here for both United and Spurs. Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes played the last 30 minutes of the game against Tottenham together in midfieldIf Pogba can repeat what he showed on Friday night, dismissing the persistent transfer talk and outside criticism, then he can be a pivotal figure in these closing weeks, especially in tandem with the club's new golden boy Fernandes.
Yesterday I was walking next to cows in my village and today I was at Barcelona's training ground coaching the best players in the world," said the 61-year-old, who takes over from Ernesto Vavlerde and has signed a contract until June 2022. This is an enormous club and it'll never get better than this.
Leipzig is 3rd placed at this moment behind the two giants Bayern Munich and Dortmund but with these two clubs going to play today one against each other it is a good chance for Leipzig to get closer to at least one of these two sides, and they have just put an end to a run of 3 draws in a row in the league by crushing Mainz once more this time away from home with no less than 5-0, Timo Werner, their top goalscorer who also scored 3 times in the 8-0 win with Mainz at home earlier this season scored once more 3 goals and they were pretty much simple tap-ins.

Savage, formerly of Leicester, Blackburn and Derby, has signed for the semi-professional side from the 10th tier of English football eight years after playing his last professional game. The 45-year-old has links to Stockport's owners Pro Football Academy.

Taking the American's place in the side, Hudson-Odoi's display was not quite as devastating, but now provides Lampard with a welcome selection headache. Burnley in free fallBurnley's season has been a repeated case of one step forward, two steps back. Three times they have put together encouraging back-to-back results, only to then lose successive games. The result at Stamford Bridge - their fourth defeat on the spin - represents a new low for the campaign, maybe not in terms of performance but certainly as regards form and league position.
With the aforementioned factors digested, we think the Liverpool and both teams to score combination represents the best avenue of approach for Wednesday's game, while our correct score prediction settles on a 2-1 Liverpool win.
Boss! I was actually going to call you to—” “No need. I’m boarding a Eurostar back to London right now. What?” “I am returning to London. To help you—” “Arsene… I just wanted a quick chat. I’ll see you inside the changing room before kick-off. Don’t worry, I’ll get the lads ready – just turn up when you can.
I work for the club. I'm not thinking about myself," added Mourinho. I keep saying that my ambition is the same, my DNA is the same, but probably I am in the stage where I look less to myself and my records and I look more to the club. I am optimistic because I start working from day one. Because I believe we are going to make some changes in our squad, and for that we don't need a huge investment like the club made in the past summer.
Paper Round’s view: Coutinho has lost his way a little since he failed to settle at Barcelona, and with coronavirus hampering the finances of Europe’s top clubs, a huge transfer fee would probably put them off. However, the same development means that Barcelona may be willing to let him leave on a cheap deal for a year or two to avoid having to pay Coutinho’s wages anymore.
A return date has not been announced yet, and his injury will be a blow to manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whose side play five more matches in January - including the FA Cup replay away and the second leg of the League Cup semi-final at Etihad Stadium. Centre backs Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo are still sidelined for United with injuries while midfielders Paul Pogba (ankle surgery) and Scott McTominay (knee) will not return until February.
Everton have been great in addressing poverty, too. Both clubs are doing the area proud. The wait for the title goes on but the suspension of the sport has given Greaves pause for thought.
