Owner Mel Morris is waiting for further investment in the side which has yet to be signed off, and the Daily Mail says that a deal is in the offing and should soon be signed off. Paper Round’s view: Failing to meet payroll can't be ignored. It also begs the question why Rooney has been signed if things are so tough at Derby County in terms of their finances.

The quality of football around the back end of the festive period takes a serious hit every season due to situations like this when clubs are forced to play two matches in less than two days. Guardiola has a right to be angry in this situation, especially as his side attempt to chase down Liverpool, but realistically it's a wider issue that needs to be addressed by the Premier League and the television companies.
The Saints beat Norwich City 2-1 on Wednesday to climb out of the relegation zone and up to 17th in the standings. The trip to Newcastle will be their third game in eight days. We have a few issues with the high workload," Hasenhuettl told reporters. I think for the weekend these players will all be able to play and it's on me to decide if I go again with the team that invested a lot two times or if I put a few fresh players in.
With just one win from their last seven games, a humiliating cup exit, a lengthy injury list and a batch of new players who are struggling to assimilate, it's fair to suggest that Atletico Madrid are not exactly firing on all cylinders as they prepare for their Champions League meeting with Liverpool. Why has this season, which started with such optimism, gone so wrong for Diego Simeone's team?Early promise fizzles out Joao Felix has only scored four times for Atletico - with both his goals since September coming against Lokomotiv MoscowWhen Atletico Madrid splashed out 126m euros (£113m) last summer to make Joao Felix the third most expensive player in history, it seemed like a serious statement of intent.
In an interview with the BBC, the Everton defender also revealed that he hid himself away through embarrassment at his performances on the pitch. Having opened up himself, he is now working with mental health charities to encourage others to seek help. I didn't want to go out, didn't want to see anyone," he said. I felt a bit embarrassed with how things were going on the pitch so I didn't want to be seen anywhere, didn't want to do anything.
Team GB's place at the Games was secured when England finished as one of the top three European teams at the World Cup, reaching the semi-finals. Lionesses manager Phil Neville will take charge of the British squad. TWO FRONTS Before that, though, the pressure is on Little and her Arsenal team mates to maintain their form on two fronts.
Speculation over the future of Cannavaro has been constant since Evergrande were knocked out of the Asian Champions League in the semi-finals and doubts remain over whether the Italian will still be in the post next season.

Two young rivals are playing in the quarter finals of the youth league playoffs, and there should not be usually high scoring on this one. There is only one match played, and importance is big on both sides. Juventus is favorite here, but Jalapa knows how to defend. There could even be a draw duel, with the winner to be decided through the over time or penalty shootout.

Real Valladolid will try to make things right once again by trying to use the home advantage to beat Sevilla who will be playing also Thursday in the Europa league, but being that Sevilla is hosting the Europa league at home will make them to give everything in this game because the 3 points here will do them a lot of good giving them chance to continue the hope of finishing between position 1st to 4th giving them chance of Champions League. It is going to be a hard one for both teams but I think and believe that with the great talent the visitors posses, the 3 points will be theirs.

Lerma's early mistake summed them up - his poor first touch invited pressure from Longstaff, who won possession back for Newcastle. From that point on, Bournemouth looked shaky, short of confidence and reluctant to play out from the back. They were punished by Gayle, who showed composure in front of goal for the opener, while Saint-Maximin continued to torment the Bournemouth defence for the impressive hour he was on the pitch.

After a low-key start to his Wolves career last season, the forward has been sensational so far in the current campaign and chipped in with a stunning goal against Tottenham on Sunday. While he showed he has a thunderous strike in him, what the Spaniard is really all about is trickery and especially pace. Spurs trio Eric Dier, Toby Alderweireld and Harry Kane were all booked for taking out Traore, taking the total of players shown yellow cards for fouls on him this season to an incredible 21 from 26 games.
The league will restart with the Reds 25 points clear at the top and potentially one win away from confirming their triumph. If Manchester City lose their game in hand - against Arsenal on Wednesday - Jurgen Klopp's side will seal the title with victory in the Merseyside derby at Everton on Sunday. The race for a top-four spot is less of a formality. City's two-year ban from European competition (appeal pending) means fifth place will be enough for a Champions League spot.
Slovan Liberec have won their last four games since their last loss to Slavia Prague. They will face Teplice who haven't won in their last four games. At home Teplice have only won once in their last six games. Slovan Liberec last away win was against Sparta plague who are a strong home team. Slovan Liberec are currently in the Europa League playoffs a win in this game will push them into the champions league playoffs places. It will be a tough game for Teplice since Slovan Liberec are in better form and more motivated. My pick is away win.
As a result, the Blues' last eight away games in all competitions averaged 4.125 goals per 90 minutes, with over 2.5 goals notched and both teams scoring in seven of those contests. We expect Chelsea's latest assignment on Wednesday to follow along similar lines.
BATE Res. will against Torpedo Zhodino Res. in match Belarusia Reserve. My prediction this match could be the win for Batteries with margin score is 1 goal. Batteries have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Batteries always lose for the all match. Meanwhile, Torpedo Zhodino Res. have good result on last 3 match in league due to Torpedo Zhodino Res. have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that BATE Res. can beat Torpedo Zhodino Res. due to BATE Res. have great result on last 5 match in head to head with Torpedo Zhodino Res. Surely BATE Res. have more chance to win on this match.
I was wanting to try something new and see what a new chapter would bring. I didn't expect it to bring coronavirus, but having made the decision, you have to stand by it. I'm just sitting tight and waiting for my agent to come back with something that interests me and him. The English market is beginning to pick up. The Scottish one, you see some movement, which is great for me that clubs are starting to sign out-of-contract players.
If it wasn't for the failure of goalline technology, Villa would have lost their returning fixture at home to Sheffield United. They may have dodged a loss that time but there's one incoming. Back the away side to win both halves.
HONG KONG, Feb 11 (Reuters) - FC Tokyo had to settle for a share of the points against former champions Ulsan Hyundai on Tuesday as Adailton's own goal saw the Japanese side held to a 1-1 draw in the opening round of group games in the 2020 Asian Champions League. Diego Oliveira had given Kenta Hasegawa's side the lead 64 minutes into the game when he slipped the ball between the legs of Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Su-huk only for his fellow Brazilian to head Sin Jin-ho's free kick into his own goal eight minutes from time.
Harry Kane bettered Alessandro del Piero's landmark and Dele Alli continued his return to form - but there was an unexpected recipient of Jose Mourinho's praise after Tottenham's Champions League win over Olympiakos. Spurs trailed 2-0 after 19 minutes but Kane scored twice, with Alli and Serge Aurier also netting as they reached the knockout stages in Mourinho's first home game. The turnaround was helped, as the former Manchester United boss was quick to point out afterwards, by a quick-thinking ball boy.
Of course during the match I expect them to forget me. Mourinho, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino, said he has spoken to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy regarding the futures of Belgium centre-halves Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen. All three are out of contract at the end of the season and are free to speak other clubs from January. If I tell you that I didn't speak with Mr Levy about Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen, I would be lying," he admitted.
United are the only team to take points off Liverpool this season, drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford, and Berbatov believes they can cause problems for Juergen Klopp's relentless side who have a 14-point lead at the top of the table. Liverpool are so far ahead in terms of points and the way they play football," the Bulgarian said.

The system is, as Pep Guardiola surmised "a big mess". Those who believed that the 'progress' of technology would remove the controversy from the game have been shown to be off the mark. Instead it is the decisions made in the room by Heathrow airport that are the controversy. The handball law has had to be changed for the VAR-era and now there are calls for the offside law to be changed as well.
The home team have not been winning enough matches, they won only one of their past 10 matches against all teams. At times I find the home team are not the best when it comes to scoring goals or even finding a way to to score, they are not one of the highest scoring teams around at the moment. The away team have actually looked better they do win more often and have more likely chance to score goals The wins show they can beat out of form teams at times and this could be another one they can win

Pep Guardiola on goalkeeper Ederson's chances of taking a penalty for Manchester CityIt begs the question, when will goalkeeper Ederson get his shot? "Believe me, he's the best taker we have in penalties," Guardiola said on Ederson's chances in January. I think that's something we'd all like to see. Alternatively, Guardiola's side may want to start taking notes from Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes.

In its report, Cas said Uefa maintained the club "on countless occasions refused to answer questions, refused to provide documents, refused to arrange for the attendance of requested persons and - ultimately - it even instructed its own expert witness not to answer specific questions". However, Cas said it only found two specific requests in which City failed to comply with its duty of co-operation.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@Guymowbray: A tie that could hardly get any more interesting just has. It'll start with the team news, with Frank Lampard having committed to a strong line-up and Jurgen Klopp with a bit of a conundrum to ponder over his side. He talked of a "restart" after losing at Watford, and that presumably means straight away, with possibly a more familiar team than was picked in rounds three and four.

Of course it’s perfectly normal for him to be involved in transfer speculation after his performances with Leicester City this season. However, we have no interest in this discussion. Both club and Caglar are looking to continue with each other. He is only focusing on the remaining of the season.

Want to mark your 1,000th senior game in style?

Ronaldo, 35, met Juan Cuadrado's cross to equal the Italian top-flight record, shared with Gabriel Batistuta and Fabio Quagliarella. Aaron Ramsey added a second for the Serie A leaders in a 2-1 win over SPAL.
