The two men in charge certainly help with the appeal to neutrals (not that 'neutrals' really matter!). With the possible exception of Pep Guardiola, there have been few managers as impressive in their words and deeds over the last few weeks as Carlo Ancelotti and Jurgen Klopp. Voluntary pay deferral; heartfelt messages of support for seriously ill and isolated fans; studied reaction to and understanding of the Black Lives Matter campaign - throughout lockdown these two vastly experienced and charismatic Premier League bosses have hit all the right notes.
Reading is in fantastic shape right now, the won 4 from last 5 and they are surely one of the best teams in the league right now especially at home so I simply must favorize them in this one pretty much no matter what and on the other side forest is sold squad UT on the road I don't think they are so good as they are at home and surely not versus team which is in this kind of shape so on this Odd I surely bet o reading and I recommend to anyone who is following me and my best to do the same

Villarreal have netted in all but one of their league matches this term whilst Atleti have conceded in each of their last five away in all competitions, so it's highly likely that both teams can register to give us another 1-1 result.
They've been told: I'm a side back and I have to stay here, or I'm a number 10 and I have to stay here, or I'm a goalkeeper and I have to stay in the box. But we're just showing them to forget that. We'll play our game, and our game is get the ball, get into space, stay together as a team. And you see now that the players are now almost coaching themselves on the field.
The win took PSG to 68 points from 27 games and restored their lead at the top of the table to 13 following second-placed Olympique de Marseille's 3-2 win over Nimes on Friday night.

Slavia did play some high scoring matches at the begin, and they were able to concede and score more more than two goals in average on their games. However, with the recent minimal win in Cup, over favorite BATE, they could make their performances more defensive. Especially if want to keep the high position in the league. They would host Ruh, as favorite, and this can be new role for them.
Our correct score prediction of 3-1 to Leicester tips the visitors to net a consolation goal however. Despite their underwhelming overall results, Villa managed to get on the scoresheet in 12 of their last 14 matches, and we're backing their goal-getting knack to continue this week.

After losing none of their first nine Premier League away games this season (W3 D6), Sheffield United have since suffered three defeats in their last six on the road (W1 D2), failing to score on four occasions during this run. Wilder and Sheffield United have suffered their heaviest league defeat together since a 3-0 loss at Middlesbrough in August 2018, shipping more than twice on the road for the first time in the Premier League this season.
Metz will have to cope with the atmosphere of the Robert Diochon as they travel to the north of France. Les Grenats haven't been overly convincing on the road this season with just the one win in their ten games away from home. Even in their title winning promotion season from Ligue 2 last year they struggled to put in the same kind of performance on the road with just three wins in their final eight away games of the 2018/19 campaign.

The South American defender could be set for a return to Spain, with his former club Valencia likely to make a move for him. Paper Round's view: Otamendi isn't really good enough for Manchester City. The City defence has looked lost following the departure of Kompany, but the long-term injury of Aymeric Laporte rocked Pep Guardiola's plans for the season and left defensive midfielder Fernandinho filling in at centre-half.
Luton Town legend Radomir Antic, who went on to manage Spanish giants Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, has died at the age of 71. Antic spent four years with Luton, famously scoring the goal that kept the Hatters in the top flight at the expense of Manchester City in 1983. Antic's biggest successes in management came at Atletico, with whom he won La Liga and the Copa del Rey in 1996. The former Yugoslavia defender also had a spell in charge of Serbia.
The French side have certainly had chances, averaging 4.5 shots on target per match but they've only scored three and have, defensively, been awful with 10 goals conceded in four matches. There isn't much confidence within the side and without much to play for it's hard to see how Lille can come out of the game with a positive result.
I'm pretty surprised with this amazing odds on goals in this match from Walles elite or Premier league and we will see who will win here. So, Caernarfon Town is interesting team who is few months ago, in May played last match against Cardiff MU and lost in very interesting duel, in play-offs, 2-3. I believe this match will be similar. 3-1 and 4-1 is home team played in last two matches, while rival is coming in this duel after 2-1 and 0-3. Yes, over is ok for me here and I will try that. Odds are great really are.

The performance of the day was surely Everton's comeback at Vicarage Road where two first-half stoppage time goals from defender Yerry Mina saw them claw back Watford's advantage.

I'm just looking forward to actually playing in a proper game, although it will not be with a crowd, which will be weird. The prospect of 1,200-mile road tripsAside from the extraordinary length of pre-season, the pandemic has thrown up numerous other challenges in Sweden, not least around travel. Unless domestic rules are relaxed some clubs will have to complete 1,200-mile round trips by road to fulfil their fixtures.
Another key part of training is Nuno's backroom staff, who have stayed with him throughout his managerial career. They were very intelligent and full of ideas, always making you want to work," Kouka says. Sometimes players feel a little bit lazy and maybe don't want to work, but these staff would always keep pushing you. Even if you couldn't see something in your game, they would spot it and try to help you.
He is the third Arsenal player to suffer an injury since the restart, with defender Pablo Mari and midfielder Granit Xhaka both carried off against City. Maupay's challenge prompted an angry reaction from some of the Gunners team, but Arteta refused to blame the Frenchman for the injury. I think it was very unfortunate," added Arteta. I don't think he wanted to hurt him, but it is not looking good [for Leno].
I never received any prejudice of any sort," says Morgan, who will be involved with one of Saturday's Football Pride seminars. Football became a sort of safe haven, because I knew there were other members of the LGBTQ community there to rely on or have my back if anything did happen. I came out to my parents at 18, and since then I've always felt supported in the game - not just by my own team, but by the fans as well.

Watford’s improvement over the last couple of weeks has been admirable, but there’s no getting away from the fact that they need to actually start producing results. Sunday’s match against an inconsistent Manchester United could be just the boost they need.

Did you know? Tomkins has made more clearances than any other Crystal Palace player in the Premier League this term (73). Holgate: The Everton youngster is looking like the real deal these days.

Mansfield midfielder Neal Bishop is one of those who is being let go by his club this summer. At 38 - and with an offer on the table to remain in football - he acknowledges many players have it harder than him, but is matter-of-fact about what the pandemic is likely to mean for his peers. I'm probably relieved I'm at this stage of my career now rather than the beginning or middle because I just can't see the money being around," he told BBC East Midlands Today.
They are playing poorly and will do well to beat an extremely organised defensive Atletico Madrid outfit on Wednesday, further dampening spirits. In an ideal world they will at least have the chance to clinch the title at Goodison Park or at the Etihad Stadium a few weeks later, but it could well be an unglamorous home match with Crystal Palace when they secure the title, leading to Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush being handed (well-washed) onions in the stand to peel in a vain attempt to provide moment of victory with the emotional scene it deserves.

Saka, 18, blasted the ball into the roof of the net from a tight angle before his low cross provided a tap-in for Nketiah, who was recalled this month from a loan spell at Leeds United.

Leicester were dealt huge a blow in the Premier League title race as they were held to a draw by a battling Norwich at King Power Stadium.

With a reputation for tactical prowess, getting the best out of her players and being comfortable in the media spotlight, Hayes has the attributes to thrive in the role. Nevertheless, she is passionately determined to win the Champions League with Chelsea and topple European women's football's dominant force, Lyon, so has unfinished business in west London. The earliest her side could claim the European crown would be at the end of next season, with qualification not yet guaranteed, so the England vacancy may have come too soon for Hayes this time around.

Rangers claim that clubs were not told of a potential £10m liability to sponsors and broadcasters, as well as "substantial problems" with league reconstruction before they voted to end the season.
