During the summer transfer window, United spent over £130m on defenders, bringing in Harry Maguire from Leicester City and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace, and also signed winger Daniel James from Swansea City.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout on Monday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2.

The 2023 version will be the first in the women’s game to feature 32 sides, after the event was expanded from the 24-team format seen in 2019, and is provisionally scheduled for July to August. After record television audiences tuned in to watch the most recent tournament in France last summer, there are great hopes that 2023's event will prompt further growth for the women’s game.

As for competing with Ederson in a 50/50 challenge - good luck with that. The way he left Kelechi Iheanacho in a heap, before half-time, suggests he isn't joking. Did you know? Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Ederson has kept more clean sheets than any other Premier League goalkeeper (45). Defenders - Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Marcos Alonso (Chelsea) Lewis Dunk: This was a fabulous contest, played at times in shocking conditions.
You have to wait until the last second to make a decision but nobody came back injured. Swiss playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri has returned to first-team training after missing over a month due to a recurring calf issue. Shaqiri has featured for around 25 minutes for Liverpool this season and has made only one start since January but Klopp is convinced the player still has a future at Anfield and will play a key role in the coming weeks.
Like Klopp, Werner is wary of getting ahead of himself, even if Pep Guardiola, manager of a Manchester City side that are a distant second, has already accepted defeat in his attempt to win three successive championships. The level of competition in this league is so great eventually you think you are going to have an off day," said Werner. But that hasn't happened yet, which is a great compliment to Jurgen because obviously, the team is playing at peak talent every week.

I see very good chances in this one that we can see a high scoring win for the hosts, but goals scored by the hosts almost entirely as OFI Crete is a very weak away team this season even lost in the cup to a 3rd league club Kavala with 2-0 on the road and I watched them trying to defend in their last away game in the league at PAOK and it was just 0-0 at half-time of the game but in the second half they conceded with ease 4 goals as they even gave away two penalty kicks for stupid fouls.
The Super Eagles frontman scored 16 goals and made four assists in 55 Premier League appearances for the Hornets, with 15 of those goals coming in 37 games in the 2016-17 season.

Skala suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to IF. The team will be aiming to forget that shock and move on.
Here begins the Norwegian League. There will be no spectators in the first round. If we look at the results from the preparation period, then it is clear that Stabbed had better results. Stabeck finished last season in the middle of the table but I don’t think they would be happy with that this season. Mjondalen with great difficulty saved his place in the best league in Norway by winning the last round. They will lead a great fight for survival this season as well.
Third-placed Stade Rennais beat visiting Nimes 2-1 earlier on Sunday to reduce the gap to second-placed Olympique de Marseille to eight points.

This is the league where you can put your money on the away team to do it for you because away teams in this league rarely disappoint. National has been in great form so far compared to the home side who have been in poor form both playing away and at home. I expect an open game that's why I chose the away side considering how they are very good and also aiming for promotion. This a match they surely should win without any disturbances because the home team is on a poor run of form and they have a tactical inept manager.
Roth, nicknamed the Bull because of his physical playing style, recounts the mood going into the match. Of course we won the previous two European Cups in 1974 and 1975, but this season was harder for us," he told BBC Scotland. We were housed in the Turnberry Hotel, which was about one hour away from Glasgow. We were extremely focused on our preparation and had no spare time. At the same time the Rolling Stones were in the same hotel - they had more leisure time and made a lot of noise all day long!"Despite sharing digs with the raucous British rockers while they played three days in Glasgow, the Germans carried a steely focus heading into the match.
Tottenham striker Kane - an England team-mate of Henderson - has had surgery on a torn hamstring sustained on 1 January and is not expected to return to training until April. Klopp added: "[Henderson] will be out for three weeks or so, which is not cool but how we see it is we were still lucky.

Souness, who also won five league titles with Liverpool but unlike Pogba has never won a World Cup, responded to the Frenchman. The oldest saying in football comes to mind: 'Put your medals on the table'. I've got a big table," the 66-year-old told Sky Sports. Pogba was closing in on a return to action after recovering from an ankle injury when the Premier League season was suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Guardiola has built a superb Manchester City side, a purists' delight, as Arteta will know only too well after sharing two Premier League title triumphs, including a historic 100-point haul two years ago, and more history when they claimed a domestic treble by adding the League Cup and FA Cup last season. And City can still make it their most glorious campaign by finally claiming the Champions League - but on the evidence of this season you would not trust them to pull it off.

There is no doubt they deserved the three points and we were not good enough. We cannot concede goals the way we did. The way we conceded was not good enough.

Nonetheless, several performances this term, including a 3-0 beating at PSG and 1-0 defeat to Mallorca, suggest Zinedine Zidane's team aren't the finished article just yet and perhaps don't quite stack up to trophy-winning Madrid teams of the recent past. Los Blancos still look vulnerable at the back, conceding in five of their last six matches and six of their eight away La Liga games this season.
Brodkin said Sportradar's system was based on data from studying millions of clean and some 5,000 corrupted matches, as well as the odds offered by 600 bookmakers.

What attracts me to a match is whether the teams play well, that there are footballers, that it goes beyond the result. I’m a romantic, I like the football. I’m a spectator, and I don’t buy a ticket to watch a team stay stuck in their half waiting for a 0-0 or a counter-attack.
We are very happy to announce the arrival of Robert Moreno," said Monaco vice-president Oleg Petrov. We believe a lot in him and his ability to bring success to the team. Monaco thrashed Lille 5-1 in their last league game on 21 December but Jardim had been under increasing pressure after a 3-0 defeat by the same opponents in the French League Cup earlier this month. Moreno was accused by Enrique of being "disloyal" last month when the returning Spain manager explained why Moreno would not be part of his coaching team.
