Former England captain Dave Watson has a neurodegenerative disease which his wife Penny believes was most likely brought on by head injuries and repeated heading of the ball. Watson, 73, won 65 caps and helped Sunderland win the 1973 FA Cup before guiding Manchester City to League Cup success three years later. Dave has good and bad days," she said. He tries to continue to enjoy a normal life, however almost every day we are confronted with a new challenge.
The home team are used to playing low scoring games but Liverpool will be a whole new ball game for them. Liverpool playing the away fixture will want to come here and score a few goals early to put this match into their favor. Liverpool can be a high scoring team when playing in leagues like this and their focus would be on scoring most of their goals in this league. The home team could also score and there is a lot of quality in their team so this could become a high scoring game with Liverpool doing most of the scoring

The visitors dispensed of Monk in the summer, causing outrage from many. The manager had achieved plenty with his former side, but the Blues made claims about some behind the scenes issues which distorted the picture. Both sides have quickly moved on, with Birmingham in 15th under Pep Clotet. Meanwhile, Monk has guided his side to within four points of the playoffs.
Today at Europe will be played a lot of club friendly games as part of the preparation of the teams for restarting of the season after Corona virus break. Rivals at this match will be two elite Danish teams - Brondby and Lyngby.
St Etienne prevailed thanks to a first-half goal by Denis Bouanga to leave Monaco out of both domestic cups and with a remote chance of playing in the Champions League next season. Moreno took over from the sacked Leonardo Jardim during the mid-season break but the new coach has struggled to boost Monaco's confidence despite an encouraging 3-3 draw at Ligue 1 leaders Paris St Germain earlier this month.
The quick-fire goals from Kylian Mbappe and Pablo Sarabia denied Zinedine Zidane's side the revenge they craved after a 3-0 humiliation in the reverse fixture, but will they halt Real's recent momentum? We don't think so, and we're expecting Los Blancos to get the better of Alaves this weekend at Mendizorroza – albeit after a tight opening period.
Middlesbrough go to this game placed 20th in the Championship with 37 points while Leeds are second with 62 points. In their last 10 matches, Middlesbrough have not won any; their last win came on New Year’s Day, against Preston, which capped a run of four straight wins.

LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to crank up the pressure on Chelsea in the battle for fourth place in the Premier League this weekend as they emerge from their mini mid-season break. Jose Mourinho's side travel to relegation battlers Aston Villa on Sunday on the back of consecutive league wins, knowing another one will move them one point behind their stuttering London rivals who host Manchester United on Monday.
That is the situation we are in. The challenge is to get ready for the first game. We don't want to be too cautious, so that when the 20th comes against Middlesbrough we are not ready to play 90 minutes. But this is what we have to do, we have had to plan for it. We talk to the players openly about what we are doing and everybody is committed to it. The English Football League has said the regular Championship season will finish with midweek games on 21 or 22 July, to provide time for the play-off semi-finals, before the final on either 2 or 3 August.
City boss Pep Guardiola says he would not stop Arteta if he decided to leave. After Arsenal's latest defeat, interim manager Freddie Ljungberg - who has won once in five games since being appointed on 29 November - called for some clarity on the situation. The Gunners are ninth in the Premier League, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, after five victories in 17 matches this season. Former midfielder Arteta, who made 149 appearances for Arsenal between 2011 and 2016, was linked with replacing Arsene Wenger at the Emirates in 2018 before the club appointed Emery.
It is hard to believe that Sheffield united has 4 points more than arsenal on the league table right now and I think arsenal is going to beat them today despite they have a lot of problems with their squad they are simply better tram and Arteta is going to motivated them to play like it is champions league final and on the other side it is hard to believe that Sheffield could stay this high on the table so I Will bet a lot againsnt them especylay on the games they are playing on the road starting with this one
Beating the Dutch was when the euphoria kicked in'We did not actually begin the tournament very well, drawing 1-1 with Switzerland, although I did ease some of the pressure that was on me by scoring. Things started to go our way when we beat Scotland 2-0 but it was only after our final group game, against the Netherlands, that the euphoria really kicked in. That night we beat the Dutch 4-1 at Wembley is probably my favourite memory of Euro 96.
Gorodeya are strugglng for form and goals but this is a decent chance to get some points. Neman Grodno aren't that bad a side but their away form is letting them down with just one point and one goal. That's compared to having the fourth best home record in the Belarus Premier League. With Gorodeya having onlly scored two home league goals (seven goals in total in four at home), the suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals being scored.

Manchester United suffered another humbling defeat in midweek as their team of fresh-faced youngsters found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline at Astana. They can take solace, however, in the fact that they still lead their Europa League group and that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left his entire first team squad back in Manchester for the trip.
With his side 2-0 up and closing in on three points, Alisson came rushing out of his penalty area to handle the ball as Brighton attacked. As a result, Alisson will now miss the Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield on Wednesday. His actions set up a nerve-wracking finale and Dunk's free-kick - an awful goal to concede from Liverpool's point of view - means Klopp's side are still without a clean sheet since 28 September.
Manager Neil Lennon will not "throw anyone under a bus" after calamitous defending cost Celtic a place in the last 16 of the Europa League. The Scottish champions were well-placed after a 1-1 draw in Copenhagen. But two error-strewn concessions in the final five minutes in Glasgow cost them after Odsonne Edouard's penalty cancelled out the Danes' messy opener. We win as a team, and we lose as a team but we basically shot ourselves in the foot," said Lennon.
More than 1,200 cases have been confirmed in about 30 other countries and there have been more than 20 deaths. Italy reported two more deaths on Monday, raising the total there to five.

Ospreys were due to play Zebre in Parma with Treviso the venue for Ulster's game against Benetton.
Plenty of people in Liverpool had forgotten they even existed. The grand planMoving to the West Cheshire League, South Liverpool started to do well again, climbing steadily from the third division in 2012 into the top division. But, without floodlights at their North Field home, further progression was impossible. Construction of the nearby Jericho Lane soccer hub changed that. South Liverpool were invited in as a key tenant, played their first matches there in January 2019 and immediately saw the possibilities.
What the Premier League is reliant on is the goodwill of broadcasters and sponsors. The longer it goes without matches being played, the less practical it becomes to simply pick up where the season left off. Playing on beyond 30 June is a headache for Liverpool, Newcastle and Watford in particular, given they are changing shirt manufacturers - but clubs who are changing sponsors also have a problem.
But Real Madrid wouldn't sell him. They [the Chinese club] couldn't pay what Madrid wanted. He wanted to create a legacy. He wanted to bring Chinese football up. He had a vision that he could make Chinese football great. He's won everything that he can win, and he's done it many times. China is a different thing.

Could be a tight win just with 3-0, as I watched Sputnik a club which belongs to the top half of the league table play at home with Mikashevichi in their opening game and they were fully on attack in the first half even though they took just a 1-0 lead after 45 minutes. Still in the second half of the game they were more passive and only late in the game made it 2-0 to cover my -1.5 AH bet on them. But Khimik is a weaker opponent in fact they are bottom in the league so far.
Overall this term, despite some encouraging results, some of which have come as a result of good fortune, Rovers have been a bit disappointing going forward on their travels.

He has won La Liga in both of his two seasons, nearly going unbeaten in the first when they didn’t lose until the penultimate game, a tonto 5-4 defeat at Levante. But he’s out at Barcelona, the club handling his departure with the typical grace that big clubs often do in these circumstances: by making it clear he was out but not actually delivering the final blow until late on Monday.
Subs: Llorente 5, Elmas n/a, Younes n/a. KEY MOMENTS 21' - GOAL FOR NAPOLI! Mertens hammers it into the bottom corner from a tight angle after beating the off-side trap.

This bank holiday weekend was supposed to bring the FA Cup and Championship play-off finals - arguably the most renowned and richest games in club football. Instead there is a void. While those at the top of the football food chain may be able to ride out the financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic, clubs and players down the English Football League and below are preparing for seismic changes to both the sport and the livelihoods of those who rely on it.
The fact that CSKA is the favorite is evident both in the results available and in the fact that the hosts, due to the expansion of the league, were in the elite from the 3rd line, while CSKA is still the 4th championship team in the championship. Yes, and defeat at the start, I would not call it problems in the game, or something like that. Nevertheless, the rivals were the champion of the country and the winner of the cup. So, these lesions are quite predictable. Moreover, the defeats are not devastating, but quite working (2-0 and 3-1). And the next game has already shown that there are no problems in the team and she is ready for the season. “Locomotive” - not the weakest opponent, was defeated with a score (3-1). So, the favorite in this game is CSKA.
That's eight points behind the final Champions League place currently held by their opponents Chelsea. A win for the Gunners would keep alive their hopes of Champions League football next season.

And Keown did not mince his words on BT Sport when reflecting on Arsenal’s second-half performance. I think he may well have taken the team as far as he can. We just witnessed an absolute shambles of a performance in that second half," he said. The team selection, the team motivation, the substitutions, the performance, everything was missing tonight.
Over the first 2 games of the season, Helsingborg is making fans extremely disappointed with what has shown. 2 defeats in front of Kalmar and Varbergs with 0-4 and 0-3, respectively, pushed the home team to the bottom of the table with a difference of -7 after 2 matches.

At the moment, he is going to be playing football for Real Madrid and he has got two-and-a-half years left on his contract. He is happy and hopefully he will win a couple of more things with Real Madrid. The comments come days after betting was suspended on Bale re-joining Tottenham in this transfer window. There has been growing speculation that the relationship between the midfielder and manager Zinedine Zidane is strained.
Left back Taylor, 26, sustained the injury before halftime in Burnley's 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace on Saturday. The initial reaction is it's not a serious one," Dyche told a news conference. We got him off as quick as we could so hopefully that's prevented too much damage. I'll wait and see what the physio tells me.
This match should be key in determining who advances from Group A into the round of 32. The two sides are only separated by a point and with Qarabag also in contention to qualify from the group, whoever comes out on top in this game could have one foot in the knockout stages. The reverse fixture saw Dudelange come out 4-3 winners but they weren't able to build on that result.
Keegan believed his team owed their fans a performance and, this time, a result. They owed the fans for the way they had lost the title the year before, for the two defeats by United that season, and for their humiliating 4-0 loss in the Charity Shield in August. There was hope things would be different this time - in the game, in the season. Newcastle had signed Alan Shearer from Blackburn for £15m, beating United to snare arguably the world's best number nine.

It seems a long time ago now but it is only a week since the Premier League released a statement saying all last weekend's games were going ahead. That situation changed within hours when Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta tested positive for coronavirus. BBC Sport was told by one source that in a similar situation following the resumption, the idea would be for either a single match to be postponed or the competing club would use the players they had available.
Big test for home team, in order to see if they are able to play in good form for more than few games, and to make longer run of the winning in the competition. This game against one of the big names of the football in Argentina, could be a challenge for Mar del Plata side, but counting recent two winning matches on side, Aldosivi is going better than in the first part.
Argentina captain Diego Maradona scored five goals at the 1986 World Cup finalsWright: "You knew instantly at home but it took a little while to show it on the television. It was so clever but felt so wrong. Gazza's tears1990 World Cup in ItalyThis was the summer that relaunched football mania in England as Sir Bobby Robson's side headed into a World Cup semi-final against West Germany. Paul Gascoigne was outstanding throughout the tournament and when his bottom lip wobbled and the tears flowed - after a booking that ruled him out of a final England would not reach - he captured the hearts of a nation.
Two late goals gave Sheffield Wednesday a dramatic victory at promotion-chasing Leeds United.
