It's been hard-earned. Experience tells us not to abandon it so easily. Reconstruction would cost each Premiership club money. There'd be 14 mouths to feed instead of 12. And that's where the doubts grow. Maybe they truly are at a point where they'll put aside their own interests and vote this through, but like Dundee's vote, you wouldn't bank on it. While we wait to hear what, if anything, the most vocal opponents of the SPFL - Rangers and Partick Thistle - are going to do next, Budge and Gray are about to embark on their bid for reconciliation and reconstruction.
Manchester City's frenetic afternoon rather summed up their season so far, as they misfired against a Palace side who beat them in the corresponding fixture last season. Sergio Aguero struck twice to overturn a deficit after debutant Cenk Tosun gave Palace a 39th-minute lead. It took Aguero above Frank Lampard into fourth spot on the all-time Premier League scoring list with 179 goals.
Livingston comes into this tie after suffering their 3rd defeat in a row last weekend to Celtic which has left them hovering over the relegation zone and are now a mere 2 points above it. The West Lothian side suffered 2 of their last 3 defeats away, with their home loss coming against Rangers.
I believe in at least three goals in this match from Scottish League cup and that is pretty real to expect and try. So, Rangers is team who is in very good form and they are closer to win here, that is clear, if we see how they are played good in last period. In league, they are winning almost in all matches, and in League Cup, team is played 2-2 against Feyenoord. What will happen today, we will see but I will in any case bet on goals. That is more than ok and very very real. Odds are great.

WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES Classic Kane There is no football. Every human is struggling to exercise due to lockdown restrictions. Harry Kane continues to motor unopposed towards full fitness. How can those things all be true? If there was one slither of joy from being locked inside all day, it’s that Kane could ease himself back to full fitness without worrying about Euro 2020.
However, his form heading into this summer's tournament has been mixed. Questions were raised as far back as March last year over whether his place in England's starting XI was under threat due to a number of poor performances for the Toffees, which continued into the start of this season. He has let in 35 goals in 24 appearances this season, keeping six clean sheets. In contrast, Henderson has let in just 20 in 23 games.
Given both of these teams' recent form, We feel that Cologne are likely to take all three points from this game. Cologne have scored under 1.5 in 13 of their 17 Bundesliga games. Similarly, Wolfsburg have scored under 1.5 in 12 of their 17 Bundesliga games. We feel that a 1-0 win for Cologne is a likely result of this game.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is going to face Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The hosts draw 0:0 in the previous match against Beitar but they played well. It wasn't enough to beat Beitar but today they will play at home and they should win this match easily. Hapoel Be'er Sheva lost 5 of 15 matches on away in this season. They are a much weaker team than Maccabi Tel Aviv and I don't believe that the hosts will concede points against them. Maccabi won at home the previous match against Be'er Sheva 2:0 and today I expect a similar result after balanced match
Club football is back today, which has been gone for almost two weeks! On Friday, several fights will take place at once, in one of them such collectives as Paris and Auxerre will converge. About the meeting of these teams, we can say that both teams do not occupy the places that are expected of them. Paris last season fought for getting into Ligue 1, and today it already takes the penultimate place. Auxerre, in turn, won only one match out of the last five and scored 5 points during this time. I want to say that this league is very unpredictable, but what is natural here is that the teams play a lot of draw football.
And after an executive committee meeting on Thursday, European football's governing body has clarified its stance. Champions League and Europa League likely to be played in AugustAberdeen want delay on ending seasonParked cars & cyber season tickets - how might football cope without fans?Fans at football 'unlikely' any time soon - SturgeonUefa still urged associations to use their "best efforts" and explore all possible options, including a different format, to complete domestic competitions before the Champions League and Europa League resume, which they hope will be August.
The game was done - then Teddy Sheringham scores to make it 1-1 and it just felt like something else was going to happen. Then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored to win the game for us. It was an amazing feeling. This season? These are are worrying times for United, I've got to say. I struggle to see any light at the end of the tunnel right now, compared to, say, where Liverpool and Manchester City are. We don't look like the force that we once were.
He said he "would not be surprised" if in the next five years a Championship club entered administration and dropped out of the Football League like Bury did in August. There are Championship clubs chasing that Premier League dream and when the gamble doesn't come off somebody has to foot the bill and if they can't afford it, the club could end up in administration," he said. It's a real problem and it's only going to get worse - thank God we are out.
I really not see too many goals in this match from South Korea and my option here will be surely under 2,25. So, let's start from Daegu, and that is team who is in all three matches so far in new season, played every time with small number of goals, or in this case, maximum two, 0-2, 1-1 and 0-0. Sangju Sangmu is in better form than rival, that is clear and this team is favorite, because in last two rounds, they are won 2-0 and 1-0. Yes, after this results of both of this rivals, under is pretty real.
However, that's just one game, it remains to be seen whether Sunderland can address their issues, which away from home, have been of an attacking nature. Phil Parkinson's men had failed to score in four away games prior to Sunday's win over Doncaster, while they've only notched in 50% of their travelling games this season. Such a stat doesn't exactly bode well ahead of a game against a Fleetwood side that doesn't give much away at home.
Southampton U23 does need the win here to have a better chance for taking 2nd place in this group stage currently on 3rd place with just 4 points won by them if they lose today to 2nd placed Stoke City U23 which has 5 points they would exit the cup with one game remaining to be played. In the league lately though the defense of Southampton in away games has been a joke losing last game 5-0 at Liverpool U23.
He added: "I've had ridiculous highs and massive lows. The injuries didn't help. The injuries were so, so difficult to try to overcome. I felt tortured. This wasn't what I expected my football career to be like. I didn't want to sprint, it hurt too much. Bellamy, who played 78 times for Wales and represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games, played close to 300 Premier League games, scoring 81 goals.
Everton are hopeful of appointing Carlo Ancelotti as manager as positive talks continue. Ancelotti, 60, has been Everton's top target to succeed sacked Marco Silva. The Italian held face-to-face discussions with Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri in London earlier this week. But caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson is set to be in charge of Saturday's home game against Arsenal, even if Ancelotti's appointment is finalised.

Meanwhile Jong PSV have 5W, 7D and 16L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Stoke have lost just once in their last nine league games versus Blackburn, winning on seven occasions in this run (W7 D1 L1). That form is backed up by Stoke’s two wins in three at home, along with two wins in three under their new boss. We expect the Potters to add to that with three points this weekend, so we’re going with a home win.
Antonio Conte's Inter side currently sit top of the league table on goal difference after 17 matches and the Italian boss has previously worked with Pogba at Juventus, making the Serie A side an attractive opportunity for the Frenchman. United need a new striker and won't pass up on the opportunity to bring Martinez in as part of a Pogba deal.
Wolves have a busy fixture list ahead of them with the Europa League tie against Espanyol on the horizon. Their form has dipped a bit of late and they need to get winning again if wanting European football next season. Leicester had a bit of a dip in form but are still battling it out with Manchester City for second place. Away form has been good this year, though they did lose at Burnley recently. A double chance bet on Leicester to win or draw is the one to place.
Despite being known for their defensive stability, the hosts have struggled to find the back of the net on a regular basis and their last clean sheet in the league came way back at the start of October. Even if you take the season as a whole, Newport have not enjoyed themselves on the road and have just two away wins in the league all term.

Southampton are four points from safety, virtually five because of their terrible goal difference. Their current form is that of a side who may well be playing in the Championship next season. They only have two points from their last nine league matches with 15 goals conceded in the last four. Home form is another major concern with four straight losses and 18 goals scored by their opponents.
The implications were not lost on Mark Bullingham, chief executive of England's Football Association. It will be an absolutely huge change to the game at every level, there’s no question of that," he told reporters. The review has been prompted because of the ability of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to measure offside more precisely than the eyes of a moving linesman, which has led to concerns that goals are being chalked off too frequently for tiny margins.
Jay Rodriguez scored the resulting spot-kick to give the Clarets a two-goal lead, before Dwight McNeil found the net from distance to seal victory late on. I haven't seen that yet in the Premier League," Howe said. Psychologically, we thought it was 1-1 but then we were 2-0 down moments later. I don't think we dealt with the emotions of that very well.

In the third round of the Costa Rican Clausura, Cartagines welcomes Saprissa. Saprissa is the leader with 6 points so far while Cartagines is ranked 9`th with 2 points so far. After the disappointment of ending the run in the Apertura semi-finals, Saprissa is a bit revamped for the Clausura. They are one of the best sides and they brought some fresh blood with experience - Guzman, and Rodrigues. Saprissa has good wins over the strong San Carlos away and Guadalupe at home. Cartagines didn`t start that good at all as they only took a 2:2 draw with Santos and they can be lucky with that. They also drew with UCR 0:0. Saprissa has a handle over Cartagines and they won 4 of the last 5 here.
We had expected and calculated various scenarios, but we didn't expect that only a few fans would come to the stadium and the city centre. Apparently the pleas by the city and police to stay and watch the match at home have worked out. We are very pleased by this in order to avoid infections. Not everyone was happy though. Augsburg fans put a banner in an empty stand saying "football gives life - your business is sick" in protest at football continuing during the pandemic.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says the half-time clash between goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and forward Son Heung-min was "beautiful" and "something needed for the team to grow up". Captain Lloris ran over and shoved Son in the back before the players went down the tunnel, with the pair having to be separated by their team-mates. But they embraced at full-time after a 1-0 Premier League win over Everton.
Further efforts by Morelos, Steven Davis and Goldson were off target. The pressure intensified at the start of the second half as Morelos met a Borna Barisic delivery and headed against the crossbar and another Barisic cross presented James Tavernier with an opportunity that he blazed over on the stretch. View more on twitterHamilton had looked to willing runner Marios Ogkmpoe to ease the pressure on the defence and the striker's graft was almost rewarded when his header was pushed on to the bar by Allan McGregor.
Aslyn asyr in the last match always gets a goal above 3 goals. Is this opportunity on this team can score the same goals as in the previous fight. Let's watch tomorrow. Away team is a team that is not too good maybe it could be for home team. I predict the score in this match is over 3 goals with a score of 3-0 or 4-0 victory for the host team. The home team again is at the peak of the best game. With the winning streak obtained in the previous game I hope the home team can win the match this time.

Perhaps further details will emerge (perhaps in the upcoming Amazon documentary) of a wider falling out that expedited the Argentine's departure. Perhaps not. Video - 'Cheer up, it's going to be okay!' - Mourinho has bizarre journalist encounter00:15 The fact Jose Mourinho was appointed further indicates that there is, bar improving the club’s infrastructure, little in the way of long-term planning in place at the yet-to-be-actually officially named Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
We apologise to the fans. To go out and lose like that, they deserve better," Ali added. Spurs have now gone six games without a win, the longest such run in coach Jose Mourinho's entire managerial career, while his Leipzig counterpart Julian Nagelsmann became the youngest at age 32 to reach the competition's last eight.
Paper Round's view: This season has been a complete disaster for Arsenal. Aubameyang was only appointed as club captain last month and he already wants to move away. However, it does makes sense for the north London club to sell him - especially as they can't risk losing him for free when his contract expires in 2021.
It's the Monday after a 1-1 draw at Leeds United in April 2019, Aston Villa's penultimate Championship game of the season. Three years since relegation from the Premier League, Villa are guaranteed a place in the play-offs and a local television camera crew is out and about near Birmingham to gauge reaction. They come across a lady out shopping on the high street. I'm so proud," she says beaming into the camera.
On Saturday, they became the first team to fail to register a shot on target against Burnley in the Clarets' time in the Premier League. That's a total of 207 games. What's more, of the nine occasions a team has failed to direct a shot on target in a Premier League game this season, three of them have come courtesy of Newcastle. So have they become a less attacking side under Steve Bruce than during Rafael Benitez's tenure?A direct comparison between this season and last suggests not, with Newcastle having scored 14 goals after 17 games of the 2018-19 campaign compared to 17 in 17 this term.
Outwith that they have been extremely impressive with these defeats, all to formidable sides currently in the top six, being their only losses since mid-October.
