Former Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge has left Turkish side Trabzonspor eight months into a three-year contract. The club said his contract had been terminated by mutual consent. The England international - who has also played for Manchester City, Chelsea, Bolton and West Brom - won the Champions League with Liverpool last season before being released. The 30-year-old had played 16 times this season and scored seven goals.
They travel to Scotland looking to make it four wins out of four as they chase their first title since 2010. Their new coach has worked wonders as he starts to prepare his side with the aim of a big performance at the 2023 World Cup that they host. This Six Nations campaign began witht them getting home wins against England and Italy.
The home team have been seeing a lot of low scoring games in recent weeks about 3 of their last 5 games have been really low on goals scored. A few have been going under 1.5 as they do not look as attacking as they used to be at times and have also been the type of team that has held other teams from getting a lot of chances on goals to score. This will probably be a game where they will defend their home ground well again and if they do would be happy to settle for another one goal game.
Odds are very good for taking the over 3 goals in this one and I say this because Dartford is in great form scoring 16 goals in their last 5 league games, and no, not all the goals came in a single game, as they scored 3 goals in 4 of those wins and 4 goals once as well, being very efficient both at home and also away from home and they also beat some tough opponents lately with ease as well.
This is very important match for Kayserispor and I believe that this team will win this duel. They just need three points in this round, and this can be one of the last chances to stay in battle for survival in Super league. So, Kayserispor is not lost in last five matches at home, and in last match at home, they are beat Goztepe 1-0. Even against much stronger Fenerbahce, few rounds ago, they are not lost at home (0-0). Yeni Malatyaspor is in very bad shape and they are lost eight of last ten matches in league. They will lose and this one.
The hosts boast the best defensive record in League 2 with just 13 goals conceded, however, the flip side of that is that they do not over commit on the attack and as a result they are not exactly up there with the top scorers in the division. Clearly then, if sides are not conceding and not scoring, they are typically involved in low scoring games and the fact that over two thirds of their matches finish with less than 2.5 goals scored is no surprise to see.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Trevor's wife Sue, sons Darren and Ian, daughter Danielle and his five grandchildren at this difficult time," Leeds said in their statement. Trevor Cherry played for Leeds in the 1975 European Cup semi-final as they overcame Barcelona and was an unused substitute for the final defeat by Bayern MunichHaving progressed through the ranks at Huddersfield at the start of his playing career, making 185 appearances and winning the Second Division title, Cherry impressed Leeds boss Don Revie enough to seek him as a potential replacement for Jack Charlton.
Australia captain Sam Kerr had a good claim to being the world's best. A game-changing striker, she is the all-time top scorer in both Australia’s W-League and America’s National Women’s Soccer League. She led the Matildas in France over the summer, scoring four against Jamaica, and inspiring her team to a 3-2 comeback win over Marta's Brazil.
Don’t take anything away from City – you earn the right to score goals sometimes. But it was poor decision-making, poor defending from Manchester United. The general performance, with and without the ball, was awful. Video - 'Pride at stake after worst United showing of season' - Solskjaer00:41 You can look at last night and say there’s maybe two players in there that came out of it well.
He has the necessary quality to do well, but we are bottom of the table and you need more than a striker who can hit the ball hard and score when he gets it. You also need willingness, hard work and something more," Grosso said. If Mario cannot make himself available, the team will struggle to support him.
Things don’t look good for Western Sydney heading into this game but we’re backing them to step up as the pressure mounts and show some of their early season form once again. Wellington Phoenix are looking in good shape and we’re predicting that the 2.5 goal line will be beaten with both teams finding the net.

The Premier League's lowest-scoring teams Watford and Crystal Palace played out a disappointing goalless draw at Vicarage Road. After an uninspiring first half that produced no shots on target for either side, bottom side Watford improved following the break but Gerard Deulofeu fired their best opportunity wide. The visitors' Wilfried Zaha endured a difficult and physical afternoon as he picked up a yellow card after tangling with Christian Kabasele in the first half.

Currently the home team CD Lugo is showing signs of improving the game quite well; with 5 consecutive unbeaten matches with 2 wins and 3 draws. However, that also could not help them escape the dangerous group. After 31 matches, the CD Lugo ranked 20th in the rankings with 34 points. The distance of CD Lugo and the safety group is only a small point. It is true that the epidemic came at the wrong time, coming back to this match; CD Lugo is able to go home but it is very difficult to get 3 points.
Add in the fact the government's furlough scheme ends in October, and it's clear the prospect of playing in empty stadiums is seen as not economically viable for even some in the second tier. Championship clubs have been issuing dire warnings. Ayr United say some could "revolt" or go into administration if forced to play behind closed doors, chiming with Queen of the South's assessment of "financial suicide" if games go ahead without subsidies in place.

He returned to training in November. Portugal's biggest football clubs, including Porto, have already reacted to the investigation.

New Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho comes face to face with former employers Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday. During his spells at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United, Mourinho has coached some of the biggest names in world football to domestic and European success. We want you to get your thinking caps on and pick your all-time Mourinho XI. Select your line-up in your preferred formation and then share on social media using #bbcfootball.
A change of shapeYou may feel that you know exactly what to expect from a Mourinho team nowadays. Methodical? Well drilled? Sure. But exciting?Mourinho quickly adapted his tactics during his first season at Stamford Bridge. Initially he wanted to play a 4-4-2 diamond, with Frank Lampard playing in behind two strikers, as Deco had so artfully done at Porto. The Chelsea team which beat Manchester United on the first day of the season on 15 August 2004.
Aston Villa have picked up just two points from the last 21 available in the Premier League (P7 W0 D2 L5), although they have avoided defeat on the road for the first time in four games. Since beating Dean Smith's Brentford with Hull back in April 2016, Steve Bruce remains winless in seven games against his fellow Englishman (D3 L4) including both Premier League matches with Newcastle this season (D1 L1).
Football's biggest carbon emitters Air travel by the top 20 footballers nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or was responsible for producing 505 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year alone, according to a climate change researcher. Andrew Welfle, from the University of Manchester, said governing bodies and teams must combat climate change by curbing air travel and finding alternative methods for their frequent flier players to reduce CO2 emissions.
In December, he agreed a contract extension to stay at the Premier League leaders until 2022 - when he will be 36. The biggest thing that affected us in the Champions League final was scoring early. It isn’t a bad thing to score early but I think our performance would have been much better if we hadn't. It is easy to go into your shell and protect what you have. We made a point of saying in the team meeting before the game that if we scored early we get on the front foot again.
Inter Milan have completed the signing of Christian Eriksen from Tottenham for a fee of around £16. The 27-year-old Denmark midfielder told Spurs in the summer he wanted a fresh challenge with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. After a hoped-for move to Spain failed to materialise, Eriksen began the season with Spurs and played 28 times in all competitions this season. Inter currently sit second in Serie A, three points behind leaders Juventus.
British media reported that McBurnie, who was in the away section during the south Wales derby last Sunday, had made an obscene gesture towards Cardiff City supporters which was caught on camera and circulated on social media. We received a letter from the FA, talking about Oli's future conduct, which is quite right, I believe," Wilder told reporters ahead of Saturday's Premier League game at Arsenal.
Everton are also under the guidance of a new manager in Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian can look back upon a rather successful start to life at Goodison Park. Their dismal FA Cup defeat against a second-string Liverpool squad aside, they have won three of their four Premier League matches under Ancelotti, and have actually only lost one of their seven league games since Marco Silva’s departure.
He is one of the world's best. How big can Fifa tournaments become? Do you think matches will be selling out football stadiums in years to come?Fifa esports will continue to get bigger and bigger. There were 3,000 fans at the grand finals last year and $250,000 for this year's winner. The eWorld Cup is the bridge between football clubs and eSports organisations and is one of the highlights of the year.
The visitors look nothing like the Barnsley side who came here and battled for a point with a resolute display. That performance ended Andre Ayew’s great form, although the Ghanian still has five goals in five games for his club after some excellent form. He should fancy taking on this Charlton defence, especially after scoring in a 2-1 victory at the Valley in the reverse fixture. We expect him to add to his impressive scoring run against a defence which can’t seem to keep a clean sheet.
Many critics feel that it has gone beyond its original remit with goals being disallowed for the tiniest of infringements such as a player being offside by an armpit. I would emphasise once more that – in compliance with its protocol - VAR is only for clear and obvious mistakes, and not for controversial situations," said Rosetti, emphasising that the official on the pitch should have the final call.
The home team played in a single goal game when playing away recently and while these teams do normally play in high scoring games this might not happen this weekend. The home team defended at their best in their last away game and really looked to play a totally different game style. The were able to drop players back really make it hard for the other team. They also were able to keep the total amount of shots down in the game for their self and the other team. They can do a lot of damage with only a few chances the home team and may only get a single goal.
Was Liverpool's 3-0 defeat the biggest ever Premier League upset?Watford striker Troy Deeney, who scored the Hornets' third goal to end Liverpool's hopes of going an entire Premier League season unbeaten, said after the game he had identified Lovren as "the weaker of the two" Reds central defenders. But while the centre-back pairing of Lovren and Virgil van Dijk looked vulnerable, the Croat was not at fault for Watford's third - Ismaila Sarr intercepted Trent Alexander-Arnold's backpass to Alisson and squared to Deeney who found the empty net.
Central Coast are likely to set up in a defensive manner as they try and leave New Zealand with a positive result and this could lead to some frustration for Wellington Phoenix as they try and break the visitors down. They hosts should mange to leave with the win but it won’t be comfortable and a 1-0 win for Wellington looks like a good bet.
Leicester have the skill and chemistry to break teams down. What they have struggled with since returning is finding a cutting edge, creating the kind of clear chances that were put away frequently before the break. Palace won't accommodate a return to old ways. We see this being another potentially frustrating day for the Foxes. Back under 2.5 goals.
Manchester United have had a good run in the Europa League, albeit a bit shaky in their away matches. They will need to be at their best here as they face a side very good at home in this competition, with six straight home wins. After their win over City, we feel United will be very confident heading here and for the first time we expect LASK to be shaken at home. A draw seems the most probable outcome here.
I saw Gary Neville saying something about players would play games every day for nine days if they had to when the football season eventually resumes. Well, I think Gary is quite right in a certain way because Gary’s quite old school in his way of thinking. He would, I would. To be perfectly honest, players in the Championship and below would quite easily play three games a week and not moan.
The Scot raced down the touchline when Richarlison headed Everton in front from Djibril Sidibe's cross after only five minutes, then swung a ball boy around in the air when Dominic Calvert-Lewin took advantage of slipshod Chelsea defending to increase their lead four minutes after half-time. Chelsea frayed some nerves in the home crowd when Mateo Kovacic pulled one back from long range - but Ferguson was off down the touchline again when more awful defending from Frank Lampard's side allowed Calvert-Lewin to scramble his second through goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's legs with six minutes left.
Cagliari have scored in every away game and two or more on four occasions. Juventus have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 3 of 8 home games. Six of Juventus 8 home games have featured over 2.5 goals with a 3.4 goals per game average. After a fortnight off, Maurizio Sarri and his Juventus side are back in action in Serie A after a 3-1 Supercoppa Italia defeat to Lazio and they will host Cagliari with the intention of keeping pace at the top of the table alongside Inter Milan whom they are locked on 42 points with.
We really have some trouble to find game to bet on these days. Some games in Belarus and some friendly in Sweden. Kalmar is team far from their best days. They manage to stay in the league last season through play-out. In some friendly games in pre season they were very poor as well. Jonkopings again in second division. Many poor games and many conceded goals in pre season games. Still, against Kalmar to they always had motive and will play much better. Expect low scoring game do under 3.25 goals look like good bet for this one. Good luck!
Meanwhile, typically used to challenging at the top end of Liga MX, a 17th placed finish in the Apertura phase was not what Toluca were looking for. The side managed to take just 17 points from 18 games over the opening period of the season and that has them desperate for improvement in this closing phase.
Just 22 years old, he has plenty of improvements still to make to his game, but he has already displayed his considerable talent on the Champions League stage. WHO IS INTERESTED? Real Madrid are by far the most likely club to move for Van de Beek. Reports from Spain suggest that a move is pretty close to being finalised for the summer and it would not be at all surprising.
Odds are a bit bigger on the both teams scoring test than the other game from today from Spain, and I am almost sure that at least Granada will score in this one as they are 4-2-0 in their last 6 games played, won 3-0 at Osasuna or drew 1-1 at a strong Levante side their last two away games in the league while a few days ago they hosted a really decent Getafe side and they won the game with 2-1 in the end, this while Betis lost with 2-0 away at city rivals from Sevilla but had about 13 shots only problem for them was that just one shot was on target.
It was only after a change of approach from manager Brendan Rodgers that Leicester were able to capitalise on the break and record a seventh win in their last eight league matches. We knew it would be tough," Vardy said. Second half we came out the blocks a bit slow but as the game went on we progressed.
Sporting this game will be meeting with the away team And this game we can say that an under of 4.5 total goals in this game is a very sure bet as looking at the last game this two teams have meet together they are not used of an over of 4.5 Total goals
Did you know? Since the start of last season, Alisson has kept more Premier League clean sheets than any other goalkeeper (34). Defenders - Jack Stephens (Southampton), Shkodran Mustafi (Arsenal), John Egan (Sheff Utd) Stephens: Thou shall not pass. That seemed to be the theme of the entire Southampton team against Manchester City. The visitors absolutely dominated the ball but couldn't get through the Saints defences.
Here Crouch explains what impressed him most about Fernandes, and why he has already made such an impact at Old Trafford. He also explores the part forwards Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood have played in United's upturn in form, but warns there is still improvement needed in other areas if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are going to finish in the Champions League places. How Fernandes has lifted Old Trafford Bruno Fernandes played a part in all three United goals against Watford and made a total of four key passes against the Hornets.
Hertha captain Niklas Stark said officials merely took note of the incident. Torunarigha was sent off after picking up a case of drinks and slamming it down, a reaction his team mates blamed on his emotional state after the insults. The German federation later confirmed that monkey noises had come from the crowd and fined Schalke 50,000 euros ($56,000).
