He's been a fantastic player for Man United and he played here for so long, he's the club's top scorer, he's won so many trophies," Solskjaer told reporters. Everyone appreciates what he did for us. He gave absolutely everything for this club. But any goal he scores against us will be chalked off his goals tally.
To come back so late in that game tells you all about the belief they have got. Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Burnley 1-1 Wolves For me, the story of the Clarets' season is almost as good as Sheffield United's has been, and they are built on similar foundations. What's different about the Blades under Chris Wilder, of course, is that this is their first year back in the Premier League, but Burnley boss Sean Dyche deserves lots of credit for doing it time and time again.
Manchester City will start 2020 14 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after returning to winning ways against Sheffield United at Etihad Stadium. City were lacklustre before scoring with their first shot on target in the 53rd minute, Sergio Aguero's fine finish finding the top corner after a Kevin de Bruyne assist.

It worked in the first quarter, but had too little dynamism and attacking instinct to turn the tide once the second goal went in. Aaron Lennon offered little, Dwight McNeil was shackled and Wood was left an isolated figure. To add to the Clarets' woes, some of their rivals at the bottom have shown a dramatic upturn in fortune. Watford's new manager bounce and Southampton's rejuvenation have blown the battle at the bottom wide open.
Premier League players could be 25% more susceptible to injury when football resumes because of the intense schedule, research shows. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is "as confident as we can be" of restarting in June.

Gabriel Jesus: If you've been brought into the team to replace Sergio Aguero, while the Argentine is sitting on the bench waiting to be called upon at a moment's notice, scoring goals must be a minimum requirement. It's as well Gabriel Jesus has the ability to do just that. Two goals by the Brazil international, against a rejuvenated Everton, came in very handy for Manchester City and will not do Jesus' credentials any harm either.
Maccabi Petach tikva host Hapoel Rishon Lezion in the second round of the Israeli league in what will be the derby. The first two teams of the standings face each other and the home team is not only in point difference but in form advantage. But the visiting team can surprise them as the has the firepower. The hosts are the favorites in this game. They are first in the table. This season they have won nineteen games. They play for promotion. Guests are in second place. They lost the last game I think there may be a tie in this game. I am going for a draw.

The new points-based system would come into force when the UK officially leaves the EU, which is expected to be the start of 2021. It could come in midway through the season, but the intention is for the measures to have been agreed before the start of the 2020-21 season. The FA's latest accounts state Brexit could have "a potential negative impact on the number of European players entering the English game which could result in a devaluation of the domestic rights of English competitions".

It would not surprise me at all if they went through the season undefeated just like Arsenal did (in 2003-04). Other clubs are in transition in terms of Man City, Tottenham, Chelsea. Leicester have had a brilliant, brilliant season in terms of where they were. But I don't think it's a negative on the standard of the Premier League at all.

Rinus Michels, the godfather of Total Football, was asked afterwards if he had seen anything comparable. Of course," he said. In my dreams. This was the summit of unreality. Neither I nor any person involved in this extraordinary game have ever, or will ever see such a finish. It was a short enough period for one fan to enter London’s Blackwall Tunnel with United 1-0 down and emerge when they were 2-1 up, though quite what he was doing entering a tunnel at that moment in time is another matter.
They have lost five matches in the last eight and have no clean sheet in the last nine matches. Eintracht Frankfurt have however managed to score in 13 of their last 15 matches. They go to this game on the back of a 2-0 loss at home to Wolfsburg but that is their only loss at home in six matches. They have three wins in their last six home matches and scored two or more goals in five of the six home games, though they have just one clean sheet in the six.

More meaningful discussions about how VAR will operate next season will be left until August's annual general meeting, when the three promoted clubs from the Championship will be present.

Despite all that, he has hit the ground running. It is true that it is not always the case that you have a harder time when you join a club in the middle of a campaign - I have experienced that for myself. You can have a honeymoon period at first and then the real work begins the next season when it can be a struggle because people expect more of you. I don't think that will happen to Fernandes, though.

This, you would imagine, is exactly what Lukashenko wants people like me to take away from the experience of watching the Belarusian Premier League. It was a display of normality which millions of football followers are missing as the world continues to tackle this devastating pandemic.

For my head and my body. Then after I need to think about everything - what I have and what is better for me. I want to continue to play, like I have done since I was 17 years old. I want to play all the time like I have done over these last two years with Dortmund. If I play regularly, I think I can be a good player - you learn more and become better. I don't care where, you know. I think only that wherever I go, I go to play.

Watford will host Leicester City for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this match. I think, the visitors will try to pick up all three points in this game. Leicester are more ambitious team in this season. In any case, Leicester is really better team than their opponent. Also, we have Watford who's is weak team in this season. Watford have a poor results. They are currently bottom of the table. Of course, the hosts want to win because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. I think, this will not be an easy task in this match.

Newcastle v Aston Villa (18:00 BST)I've said before that I think Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has done a really good job and his side know how to play his system. That's why they are safe already. Sunday's win over Sheffield United essentially secured the Magpies' survival - they are 13th, 11 points above the bottom three with eight games to go. Villa, meanwhile, are still in deep trouble. They have had a bit of a nightmare in their first two games back, and I think they will have to wait a little bit longer for their first win since January.
They have had a difficult run-in and they've got away with it. They have also got games against the big teams coming up where no one is giving them a chance, but they actually like those kind of games, especially against the London clubs. They were the first team to beat Tottenham at their new ground last season and they beat Chelsea earlier this season.

It's a disaster from a Chelsea perspective. Emerson lost Aubameyang - he was caught sleeping. The Blues haven't earned a single point from a losing position this season. Controversial!

Nikica Jelavic had given Everton the league but the hosts turned the game around through Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Nani for a 3-1 advantage. Marouane Fellaini, who would go on to join United, pulled one back for Everton but Rooney's second put the hosts in control of the contest with 21 minutes remaining. Jelavic, though, got his second and it was left to Steven Pienaar to stroke in with five minutes to go to deliver a devastating blow to United.
