And Leicester wondered why the ball hitting Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne's arm was not a penalty, but the ball striking Leicester defender Dennis Praet's arm was. But are these really VAR errors? The handball rule once involved referees making a judgment call about intent - now it is about "unnatural shapes" and other factors.
To do this, they will have to be more disciplined in defence, having managed just one clean sheet in the last seven matches. They have nine wins in their last 15 matches and have lost just two of their last 16 matches, while they have also failed to score in two of their last 15 matches. They have six wins in the last 10 matches and conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches in La liga.
Rival football codes the Australian Football League and National Rugby League have both tried to work out wage agreements with their players. Australian rules players, whose season was stopped after only one round of matches, have agreed to a 50 to 70% reduction in payments depending on how long the suspension continues.
The ball was cleared upfield and Seko Fofana sent Kevin Lasagna clear to beat Alex Meret and open the scoring in the 32nd minute. Napoli's pressure finally paid off in the 69th minute when they won possession on the edge of the Udinese area and Piotr Zielinksi placed his shot wide of Juan Musso to equalise.
With Villa a potent force in familiar surroundings and Southampton continuing to flounder away from St. Mary's, the home side look worth backing at the prices available for Saturday's game, while correct score enthusiasts are pointed in the direction of a 2-1 Villains win.
Subs: Bernardo Silva 7, Mahrez 6, Zinchenko n/a. Matchcast: Full match stats and commentary KEY MOMENTS 2' - GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Man City. City take the early lead. Jesus cuts it back from the left for De Bruyne who guides a rising shot into the roof of the net. It's a tricky first-time finish, but the Belgian achieves the desired result with aplomb.
Derby have dropped five points from a possible six with a loss to Bristol City and a draw with Huddersfield Town. Meanwhile, Fulham have also dropped five points in their last two league matches, having drawn with Millwall and lost to Barnsley. Before losing to Bristol, Derby had established a good run, winning three straight matches; they recovered a bit in their last game as they drew with Huddersfield but they will feel let down after failing to hold on to the lead for the last nine minutes.
Under minimal pressure, Kyle Bartley waved his hand at the ball. Perhaps he was trying to scare it away. It didn’t work. Instead it hit his hand, and the referee was watching, and then came the penalty. For a minute, it all looked like it was going to go Full Championship. But back came the Baggies. Matheus Pereira levelled things up, and then shortly after half-time Bartley redeemed himself with a looping header.
In the time that Pogba was on the pitch, United had 10 shots, with six of them on target. He was one of the players to test Foster, with a curling shot from a tight angle. Crouch: "Without Pogba, and with Juan Mata also starting on the bench, there was not enough guile in the United team to open Watford up. The Hornets made things difficult for them by keeping lot of men behind the ball, and they did not leave any space for Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard or Daniel James to run into behind them.
Real Betis have one loss in their last seven home league matches. Athletic Bilbao have only won one of their last seven away league games. Athletic Bilbao have failed to score in three of their last four away league matches. Athletic Bilbao are fifth in La Liga but only because of their home form. Their away performances aren't so impressive and they may struggle at 12th placed Real Betis.
I expect a really open game here, earlier this season FCSB was at its lowest when they hosted Viitorul at home, and with a luck and thanks to the bad finishing skills of the Viitorul players and the bad defending from central defenders gifting really two goals to FCSB who won 3 vital points there and now they are almost same number of points as Viitorul and make no doubt about it they will come to attack here and take all 3 points as they have no less than 5 wins in a row on the road some really decent games as well.
Bristol Rovers vs Peterborough predictions and betting tips as they meet in League One on Saturday. Which of these two in from sides will be able to claim a vital three points? Read on for all our League One betting tips and predictions.
Video - Ljungberg praises Pepe as he continues to adapt to Premier League00:35 12:00 - The Chaaampioooons The Champions League is back tonight, of course, and it's a big night for the champions of Europe. They head to Salzburg in the knowledge that defeat will likely knock them out at the group stages - and captain Jordan Henderson knows exactly how important it is.
I like the odds for the home win to happen here as Creteil is a decent home side with record of 5-3-3 in home games while one of their rare wins on the road so far this season came against this opponent here in the first part of this season when they played at Rouen and won the game with no less than 3-0 in the end but lately suffered a couple of defeats although remaining quite solid in home games but are a bit far away from the promotion places at this moment.
German newspaper Bild reported Borussia Dortmund had agreed a £30. Bundesliga club. Bellingham will not feature when Birmingham aim to surprise Leicester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Wednesday (19:45 GMT), with boss Pep Clotet looking to rest his young star.

Pep: Jose an incredible manager Man City boss Pep Guardiola has welcomed his managerial rival Jose Mourinho back to the Premier League.
Home team has no defeat at this ground, and with 2-7-0 made tough home record, which is holding their place in the mid of the table. However, they should not be such a big favorite against moron, since their rival is up to the table, and near the playoff position.
Monday's match between Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen, which was due to be played without spectators, was called off over concerns that fans could congregate outside the stadium as they have done at several European games this week. Eight matches are due to be played between Friday and Sunday including the Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke.
They resume their campaign in 10th spot and - barring away games at Manchester City and Liverpool - face a decent run-in which has the potential to propel them higher up the table. Much will depend on the form of Chris Wood, who has netted 11 league goals this season. Wood, who has been receiving treatment for an Achilles injury, is the third Burnley player to net more than 10 times in a Premier League campaign after Ashley Barnes last season (12) and Danny Ings in 2014-15 (11).
Their run-in sees them face Tottenham, Leicester, Manchester City, Southampton and Everton. Relegation is looking very likely indeed. Home form has seen them get one point from the last three with eight goals conceded. Defending is their major problem with nine conceded in the last two Premier League matches, including a 4-1 home loss to Newcastle United.
Bournemouth: Staff furloughed for at least three weeks. The club's chief executive Neill Blake, first team technical director Richard Hughes, manager Eddie Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall have all taken significant, voluntary pay cuts.

The weather during the day was quite nice so they had got themselves ready before the match but, like everyone else, they had no shelter from the rain at the stadium. By the end of the game they were a bedraggled bunch and I felt so sorry for them when I saw them. That did not seem to affect City's celebrations for long, however. It was very late when we got back to the hotel because Uefa put on one thing and another, and then all our wives were there which slowed things down a bit," added Lee, who had turned 25 on the day of the final.
Chelsea fought back to beat 10-player Reading as Sam Kerr marked her greatly anticipated debut in the Women's Super League with a classy assist in an eventful game at Kingsmeadow. The Australia striker set up the hosts' equaliser with a perfectly weighted backheel into the path of Beth England to draw Chelsea level, before Guro Reiten's brilliant lob and Erin Cuthbert's close-range finish gave Chelsea an ultimately comfortable victory.
jalapa is pretty good defensive team when they are playing at home but after a devastating defeat in last round 6-1 from Managua on the road I don't think their defense has that much of the confidence anymore so tonight I expect from them to concede at least two goals, real Esteli is better team and clear favorite for the win tonight by the way but still jalapa is good team at home and I don't think they will surrender the points just like that so I expect from them to score the goal also and I surely recommend this bet
Hapoel Petah Tikva will host Hapoel Ashkelon for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Hapoel Petah Tikva have advantage at home stadium. However, the hosts have highly variable results. They are not convincing team. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. In any case, I think, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Hapoel Ashkelon who's is a poor team in the last matches. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. In any case, they will try to break the poor series. My pick - Ashkelon to win.
The finer details of a deal have not yet been agreed — not least how they frame a contract when Bale has been earning a staggering £500,000 a week at the Santiago Bernabeu — but The Times understands there is growing confidence among the Spurs hierarchy that they can sign the Welsh superstar today. Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, travelled to Madrid for talks with Madrid president Florentino Perez in an effort to secure the services of the 30-year-old forward who moved from White Hart Lane to Madrid for what, in 2013, was a world record transfer of £85 million.

However, he is under contract until 2026 after signing a nine-year deal in 2017 and Atletico are unlikely to willingly sell one of their best players. Video - United and Liverpool go to war over centre-back – Euro Papers01:18 Newcastle keen on Edouard Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard has emerged as Newcastle’s top transfer target.
Team newsCeltic captain Scott Brown suspended, while fellow midfielders Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and Tom Rogic, plus goalkeeper Fraser Forster and striker Odsonne Edouard, have been rested. Goalkeeper Craig Gordon, right-back Moritz Bauer, midfielder Nir Bitton, winger Scott Sinclair and strikers Leigh Griffiths and Vakoun Issouf Bayo will feature.

In 13 instances out of the remaining 16, the club's wage bills exceeded their income. In their accounts, Reading and Birmingham said there was "material uncertainty" over their ability to exist as a going concern. As is the case for the majority of Championship clubs, they are reliant on funding from their owners. It has been reported that in order to protect themselves, if agreement can not be found between individual clubs and the Professional Footballers' Association over wage cuts and deferrals, a "nuclear option" of all 24 clubs going into administration was being considered.
Former Barcelona forward David Villa says he was "90% certain he would sign for Arsenal" before the move fell through and he joined Atletico Madrid. Arsenal were linked with a move for the Spain World Cup winner in January 2013 before then-Gunners boss Arsene Wenger revealed Barcelona did not want to sell. Six months later, Villa joined Atletico for one season before moving to New York City for four seasons.

We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams head into this game having conceded too many goals for their liking, but that does suggest that we are likely to see goals being scored at both ends of the pitch. Recent encounters between the pair have produced plenty of goals and we expect that trend to continue this weekend.
Sundowns are four points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs and with a game in hand, they will be looking to close in. Lately, they haven’t been scoring a lot of goals; in the last four, they haven’t scored more than a goal and in the last five matches, they have failed to score one. However, they have been tight at the back, with two straight clean sheets, and three clean sheets in the last five.
If Philadelphia want to secure a wild card position, this is the kind of game they just have to win. Form has been a bit inconsistent of late but the defeats have been narrow ones. The Giants were 2-2 for the season at one stage but now have a 2-10 record and probably can't wait for the season to end. Go for the Eagles to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
The outcome of the SPFL's proposal to finish the lower league season may not be known until May. The 17:00 BST vote passed with only 39 out of 42 teams having responded, with the fate of the resolution resting on one Scottish Championship club. However, it has emerged under league rules that clubs actually have 28 days to submit an answer, and that Friday's deadline was a requested cut off. The motion would bring the lower league seasons to an end now.
The result sees Jurgen Klopp's men set a new club record of 17 away league matches without a loss and leaves them well on course for a first top-flight title since 1990. The Merseysiders are now 35 league games unbeaten and are 13 points clear with a game in hand on the Foxes. Leicester remain second despite a first home loss in 12 matches, but could drop to third if Manchester City avoid defeat at Wolves on Friday night.
The service would be good at least. Anyone who hadn't heard of South Korean film director Bong Joon-ho before the weekend probably will have done now.

Scunthrope made an awful start to the season but things have certainly picked up of late, meaning a degree of confidence can be taken into Wednesday's match. Indeed, although they've lost their last two matches, said defeats are the visitors' only losses in 10 league matches and having won 3 of their last 4 away games, those taking to the pitch will be hungry to return to winning ways.
