This season's failure, however, means there are likely to be a flood of departures, as the cream of a talented squad are picked up by bigger clubs.

Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow is against playing the remaining Premier League fixtures at neutral grounds to complete the season. Top-flight clubs have been told that using up to 10 neutral stadiums will be the only way to finish the campaign. We're a club that prides itself on home form," he said.

They showed great character to turn things around in the second half as well as some real quality - in particular from Ward-Prowse and Djenepo is creating and scoring the two goals - and you wonder whether this can be a catalyst for them to kick on. With their next four opponents all in the bottom seven, the confidence boost this win will give them could be massive.
Tebas says two strategies are being worked on. One involves domestic league matches being played at weekends and European and general cup competitions in midweek. The second is to play blocks of fixtures, with domestic competitions being finished in June and July, before European games are played in July and August.

At this point, the distance between Frankfurt and the red light group is only 4 points and the 16th ranked team Dusseldorf is showing great relegation efforts.

That put Leeds behind in a league match at Elland Road for only the second time this season and, without injured forward Pablo Hernandez, the hosts struggled to create clear chances until the midway point of the second half.

We are also backing the hosts to return to winning ways in this encounter. Fiorentina have won both of their meetings at home to bottom-half sides, while they have claimed 100% of their wins so far against teams from 12th and below. Lecce are unbeaten at home half sides in the top flight, but they’ve lost all three visits to teams in the top half. Following that form and with goals likely here, we’re backing a 2-1 home victory for la Viola.

Toppling Serbia would be no easy task, but for Berge – as well as fellow rising stars Erling Braut Haaland and Martin Odegaard – Euro 2020 would be a chance to showcase their talents on the international stage. Sander Berge’s season in stats so far Berge has predominantly played in defensive midfield for Genk this season, starting 22 of their 23 league games and an ever-present in the six Champions League group games.
There were some fantastic individual contributions from the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and, off the bench, Raheem Sterling as City fought back to beat Real for the first time in their history. De Bruyne was magnificent, despite being in a role where he saw less of the ball. He had to wait for an opportunity on the half-turn but, when he got it, he delivered and showed again you can always rely on his drive and determination.
Lorient will not miss this good opportunity for new three points, they will play at home ground against average club from league 2, which is struggling against relegation, Le Mans is just one place above relegation line, and club with the worst defense in league 2. Lorient is one of the most serious candidates for promotion in current season, so far so good, they are at the top of the standings, with five points above second placed Lens. Hamel will be in attack for host, but also very dangerous for opponents defense will come from the midfielders Wissa and Cabot. Lorient have enough quality to win in this duel with more than 1.5 goal difference
He then got his goal from the spot after his initial effort had to be retaken, the penalty award coming after Demarai Gray had been fouled by Adam Webster. Vardy's effort was saved by Mat Ryan before the ball was headed in by James Maddison, but the England midfielder's celebrations were cut short when VAR informed referee Mike Dean of encroachment, gifting Vardy a reprieve. Seagulls home run ends after below-par displayBrighton came into this game having won their previous three at the Amex, but it never looked like they would make it four.
Real Madrid use superstars in swap deal for Pogba Real Madrid are reportedly ready to offer Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez to Manchester United as part of a swap deal for Paul Pogba.

Real Esteli youth is hosting Juve Managua youth and there are huge differences in available odds and real odds, meaning there is great value on this fake underdog. It's a fact Esteli has been performing better on a head to head basis but the number in general show they are very balanced teams. Last 3 matches between those two ended 2 wind for Esteli and 1 win for Juve, only one of them ended up with a 2 goals advantage for Esteli though. So I'm going for a AH 1.25 2 at 1.90 as I believe there will be no more than 1 goal difference in case Esteli wins.
Having been accused of being sloppy at times this season, Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudiger, Reece James and skipper Azpilicueta were at their dogged best - rarely allowing an opposition ball to find its way into the six-yard area. Youth graduate James shone the brightest, and manager Lampard has a potential diamond. Aside from providing support for his centre-backs, the 20-year-old was exceptional as an attacking force down the right.
One Ebbsfleet fan, who had made the four-hour trip from Kent, watched the first half of the game in a gas mask but removed it at the interval to eat a pie.

Vancouver are currently bottom of their Group B table after one game and one defeat.

The Sounders are third in the group, having played two games and picked up one point for their troubles.
Those Clarets shirts that were in front of Son were too afraid of diving in and letting him skip through, yet he did that anyway by gliding past Matthew Lowton and Erik Pieters. That presented him with only Burnley keeper Nick Pope to beat and, perhaps most impressively, he maintained his composure to slot in. I think it is the best goal in my life," Son, 27, said. I don't know what happened until the end! When I got the ball l tried to pass to Dele Alli and waited for his movement.
If you strip everything back, there is only one reason for the Premier season to carry on - money. It is all down to that. There is a clamour and desperation to keep things going as long as possible because the clubs want the TV money and they have realised the implications if they don't get it. It has been suggested that Sky won't ask for their share back, but a large proportion of the money is from the overseas rights.
LONDON, Jan 24 (Reuters) - West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic describes his side's FA Cup fourth round tie at West Ham United on Saturday as 'just a normal game' but the Croatian would not be human if he does not approach it with a little more relish. Bilic steered West Ham to seventh place in 2015-16, their highest Premier League finish and highest points total (62) as the club waved farewell to their old Upton Park stadium.
Results have improved with him in charge, Everton winning three of their last four Premier League games. They are one of the division's form teams and have forwards who are finding the back of the net regularly in Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison. It was the former of those two strikers who scored in their most recent meeting with Newcastle.
All things considered, we see good value in backing a home win and are happy to do exactly that with maximum confidence. Monarcas score goals for fun at home, Toluca can't keep them out and that leads us to believe that the hosts will run out comfortable 3-1 winners.
Two goals for Southampton turned the game on its head and a likely home defeat turned into their first home league win of the season.
