After that game it is understood contact was made with former Millwall manager Neil Harris for an assessment of David Martin, who had been signed as a training goalkeeper in the summer. Media playback is not supported on this device Fans deserve better performances - Pellegrini That the call came from outside Pellegrini's coaching group underlined a loss of faith in the 66-year-old, whose title-winning managerial abilities from his time at Manchester City had not transferred south.
Lok Zagreb is slight favorite in this game. It is the match between 3rd and 4th place. Both teams are aiming for second place. Zagreb is in good shape, losing only one of the last five games. I think it will be a game at a good pace from the start and since it is the start of the season, I think the errors will be a little more present. Zagreb are exactly 1 point behind the guests who are so far qualified for the Euro League. If Lok wins they are on the qualification course and therefore there is only the option to play forward and win. But it won't be an easy job against Split. A draw would be enough for visitors to keep their position safe.

Reece James was proving a dangerous outlet at right wing-back and when Olivier Giroud headed his cross onto the woodwork, Alonso - who was sent off against Bayern - reacted first to smash the rebound past Aaron Ramsdale to give the Blues a deserved lead at the interval. Giroud passed up a wonderful chance to double Chelsea's advantage after the interval before Bournemouth turned the game on its head with two goals in three minutes.
All hail the King. Denis Law, always in the conversation when talk turns to the greatest Scottish player of all time, is 80 today. Law is best remembered as part of the famous Manchester United trinity alongside George Best and Bobby Charlton. A Ballon d'Or winner in 1964, he won 55 caps for Scotland, scoring 30 international goals. Here BBC Scotland takes a look at the moments that defined the Aberdonian's stellar career.
Brighton battled Sheffield United in the 1-1 draw almost as well as they coped with the inclement weather. At the heart of some stoic defending for the Seagulls was Dunk. The central defender was immense throughout, and at times the game was on the edge of boiling over. Dunk behaved most professionally when John Lundstram lunged at a ball he was never going to get - and didn't. Dunk was gracious about the incident, which played some part in the Blades player staying on the pitch.
We tried to extend his contract for a very long time," Wenger told Bein Sports, "He was always a very talented boy who lacked confidence in some stages, but we always thought we had a player who could achieve a lot. Wenger may debate Gnabry's road to Bayern, but the forward's career at the Bundesliga champions - via a loan spell at Hoffenheim - has made him an important player for the German national team.
Watford have been rejuvenated since Nigel Pearson took over as manager in December - moving from seven points adrift at the bottom of the table to a position just above the bottom three.

The move was described by a source close to the plans as a "quickening of the pace" and intended to help sport resume "within weeks", if progress was made. More than 20,000 people in the UK have died with coronavirus. On Sunday, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said it would be "difficult" for amateur sport to return this summer due to the "level and scale of interaction" but that professional sport may be able to return "because of the scale of testing" that could be introduced.
Keeping hold of Josh King, Nathan Ake and Ryan Fraser is good news, but nevertheless we could well be waving a Premier League goodbye to "little old Bournemouth" in a few months' time .

Dortmund have scored over 2.5 goals in four of their eight home games in all competitions. We predict they will do this again in Friday's clash with struggling Paderborn. We are backing a 3-0 win for Dortmund in this game.
It is anticipated further discussions will take place over the issues, although it could be another two or three weeks before any greater clarity is achieved. However, the EFL, which declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport, is in a tricky position. It has so far aligned itself closely with the Premier League, which is committed to ending the season if it is practical. The letter makes no mention of how complex issues such as promotion and relegation would be decided.
He's been struck down ill," United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said. He's been off two days, which is not beneficial. It's probably set him back quite a bit. Pogba has played only six times this season, having required surgery to correct his ankle problem. Solskjaer, whose side have a Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to League Two side Colchester on Wednesday, rejected the idea his side had learned to cope without Pogba.
The Foxes have already scored three or more goals in seven separate games since the summer, and with Villa's personnel and defensive problems major factors, we think Leicester are priced generously in the over 2.5 team goals market for Wednesday.
CAS, sport's highest court, said it had "registered an appeal" by City against the decision taken by the club financial control board of European soccer's governing body UEFA. City were banned by UEFA on Feb. Financial Fair Play (FFP). The ruling, if upheld, would mean City would not be able to compete in the 2020-21 Champions League should they again qualify for Europe's top club competition.
In terms of recent domestic form, Shrewsbury have been a bit up and down, even at home, but their results show that they're by no means an easy team to get the better of, as Bristol City discovered less than a fortnight ago. Sam Rickett's men have lost two of their last five at home, but neither of those losses were by more than a single goal, while they've only lost three out of 12 at home this term.
What a goal! KEY STATS Barcelona became the sixth team to score 50 or more goals in Europe’s top five leagues this season after Manchester City (64), Liverpool (52), RB Leipzig (51), Bayern Munich (50) and PSG (50).

English Football League chairman Rick Parry has said the current season needs to be concluded before 31 July and that clubs face a "£200m hole" by September. The former Liverpool chief executive admitted the EFL needed a "proper reset post-Covid", with clubs currently "stacking up creditors". Parry said it was "difficult to answer" how many might go out of business. He was giving evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee about the impact of coronavirus.
Everton will need to vastly improve their away form next season if they want European football again. The weekend saw another poor loss but they are a lot better at home with eight league victories. They only concede an average of one goal per home game and host a Villa side that struggle for goals on their travels. The win over Palace was a much needed one and it will be interesting to see how they react to that success. Away form is poor though and a bet on under 2.5 goals in this game looks the safest to make.
I'm pretty sure that we will see at least three goals in this match from Denmark Super league and for me, that is pretty real to expect here, but we will see what will happen. So, OB is interesting team who was very efficient in last period. They are in last three matches played 1-2, 4-3 and 2-1, so probably will be similar and this time. Midtjylland, on the other side, is better team and they are closer to win, but this will not be easy match for them. It is better to bet on goals and I will try that.
James Tomkins nodded in a free-kick at the back post but, despite the referee awarding a goal, it was eventually ruled out by VAR for a push from Jordan Ayew on Dejan Lovren. Zaha missed a good chance to make it 2-2 late on as Liverpool rode their luck somewhat - and Mane's goal had been their first shot on target - but they remain eight points clear at the top of the table and are now 30 league games unbeaten.
While he acknowledges such a long time without seeing his players is little use, he said: "If we had played the European Championship in June, we would have had a good chance but maybe we would have faced national teams who are better prepared because they started to rejuvenate the squad before us, or have an long-established team like France.
Benfica average 2.50 points per home game, which is above the league average of 1.54, while Maritimo average 1.00 points per away game, which is below the league average of 1.17. Benfica score an average of 2.33 goals per home game and have only conceded two goals in their own backyard while Maritimo have only scored four goals away from home, which is why we have backed a final scoreline of 3-0.
Great match in perspective, both teams very well place on the table, fighting for a to guarantee a presence on next year's Chmapion's League, Borussia M is slightly favorite at home and both teams are coming from positive results from the last Bundesliga returning round after the long covid stop.

Regular listeners to That Peter Crouch podcast will be well aware that one manager in particular has featured more than any other. Crouch's seven years at Stoke City were largely overseen by Tony Pulis - or as co-host Chris Stark would say, Tony Poolis. But what does TP make of that pronunciation? Why does he always wear a cap? And how did he find out about Rory Delap's long throw? All is revealed on this week's show.
Quique Setien is currently in charge while Xavi is manager of Qatari side Al-Sadd. He also wants to ensure forward Messi remains at the club despite his contract being set to expire in 2021. He is unhappy and doubting what to do next," Font added. He is probably a bit frustrated as year after year he is not able to win, especially the Champions League. That's where the focus needs to be. We want to ensure he understands if we were to run the club from next summer onwards, we would put all the conditions to equip him in the best possible way so the last years of his career here he can still aspire to win a couple of Champions Leagues.
Nordsjaelland is not quite sure they will end the normal season in Denmark on the top 6 places and enter the Championship group where they have indeed played in previous seasons as well and take a ticket for the Europa League qualification stages for next season, but they have very good chances to win their first game after the winter break at home as they won with no less than 3-0 away from home at Horsens earlier this season a game in which they had almost 20 shots and half of them on target as well, while their opponents really struggled to create scoring chances in that one.
It must need a player there to give advice on what the player is doing. Powerful people do not like to be criticised' Tottenham were not given a penalty for this Joshua King shove on Harry KaneTottenham manager Jose Mourinho said "everyone in the world" thought his side should have had a penalty, apart from video assistant referee Michael Oliver. King pushed Kane in the back as he defended a cross but referee Paul Tierney did not award a penalty and Oliver chose not to intervene.
Victory meant that Chris Wilder's team, who are eighth in the standings on 22 points, have avoided defeat in their opening eight away games of the campaign. They last managed the feat in the top flight in the 1899-00 season, remaining unbeaten for 10 matches on the road. Trailing 1-0 following a poor opening half at a wet and windy Carrow Road, the Blades equalised four minutes after the break when Stevens rose above Norwich's defence to powerfully head in fellow defender Baldock's cross from the right.
Any use of the government's support schemes without genuine financial need is detrimental to the wider society. In instances where clubs have the resources to pay all staff, the benefit of players paying non-playing staff salaries will only serve the business of the club's shareholders. Hancock's comments came on a day when the number of UK deaths from coronavirus rose to 2,921 and followed those made by Conservative colleague Julian Knight, who is chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee.
