Southampton are without an away win since their impressive 1-0 win at Sheffield United on September 14th, though it's worth noting that their unsuccessful five-match run since included tough tests at Spurs, Wolves, Man City and Arsenal.
Raheem Sterling's 22nd-minute effort had given them the lead, only for Jetro Willems to equalise and even when Kevin de Bruyne's thunderbolt restored their advantage late on they were again pegged back by Jonjo Shelvey's stunning strike. While Liverpool have been churning out wins, City have looked strangely vulnerable.
He has proven that he can find the net in the Scottish Premiership and Europe, and could be the goalscorer Newcastle are looking for after they appear to have missed on Joelinton. Premier League players facing pay-cuts Gillingham chairman Paul Scally believes Premier League players will have to take pay-cuts with the season suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Injuries have kept the winger out of regular first team action for Diego Simeone’s side so far thisside. Paper Round’s view: The excuse of gastroenteritis is a useful one if there is some subterfuge going on. It is something that could be easily ‘resolved’ if any transfer falls through, and could also be something that causes him to miss training if talks continue to progress until the last minute in the January transfer window.

FRIDAY’S HEADLINES The Champions League is toilet Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

But Haaland, 19, came up with his 11th league goal in 12 appearances with a deft flicked header. Dortmund are four points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Ajax should be the team to benefit from the open game most with the visitors looking to give themselves a big advantage heading into the final round of games and we think they should have enough to pick up a comfortable win, with a 3-1 result predicted. They aren't the best defensively though and we can see them conceding but a win by two clear goals seems fair between these two sides.
The juxtaposition of model is clear. Swedish football operates a '51% rule', meaning club members must always have a decisive stake and private actors cannot become majority owners of football teams. As such, 1979 European Cup finalists Malmo are limited in how much they can take advantage of the vast sums of money flowing into modern football from investors. FC Copenhagen by contrast are more like a traditional business, owned by the Parken Sport and Entertainment group and founded in 1992 before winning their first league title just a year later.

He looked to press from the off, wore a couple of nasty tackles but carried on and was duly rewarded for his efforts with a goal, which he took very well. His assist for Salah’s third was also lovely. An honourable mention goes to Roberto Firmino, who recorded a hat-trick of assists.

When they started their follow-up to the Man City series filming with the Champions League finalists, led by one of the most secure managers in football in Mauricio Pochettino, Amazon can hardly have imagined the gold they would discover, like a prospector first dipping his pan into a Californian river in the 1850s.

Galatasaray vs Besiktas is a Turkish derby that always produce an entertaining game. This time the game could be affected by the lack of supporters due to the corona virus, but still I think that the game will be interesting. Galatasaray is 3rd with 3 points behind the first two teams and will need a win to maintain the chances for title. Besiktas not having the best season, but still can have hopes for the European places next season if they win in this game. So both teams need victory, I expect a game with plenty of goals chances for both sides.

Another first round exit looked likely here when she lost the first set to qualifier Shelby Rogers without winning a game. She fought back to drop just one game and make it into the second round.

They were playing very deep and compact so it was good for us to have me in the middle to give more space out wide. Newcastle boss Steve Bruce speaking to Sky Sports: "The disappointing thing is the goals we gave away are not like us. They were too easy. For an hour we were where we have been all season. We switched off from that and gave away sloppy goals. I was delighted with the way we played in the first half.
Lechia is playing good this season and still have chances to get the qualification to the Europa league by the Polish Cup. The team has remained undefeated in 4 of the last 5 game and have 49 points while the Jagiellonia have remained undefeated in 4 games and won against Cracovia. The hosts played against Legia at home in the last game, while Lechia does not present a stable form. It is hard to expect many chances from guests in Bialystok, especially that this season they have already lost 3: 0 here, and in Gdańsk they only managed to draw a goalless. The only obstacle for Jaga may be injuries in the team, so a draw cannot be ruled out in this match.

What has been disturbing, however, is Ljungberg's lack of impact on Arsenal, exemplified by the manner in which they were treated almost with contempt by Manchester City. This result leaves the Gunners stuck between the top four and the relegation zone, seven points away from both, and the thousands of empty seats and a game concluded in resigned silence from the home support spoke volumes. Arsenal had no spark, no creation and no fight - City actually went easy on them in the second half.
Premier League squads returned to non-contact training on Tuesday as the English top flight took another step forward in 'Project Restart'.

To concede so late on is a real difficult thing to deal with. But we deserved something from the game. It is a valuable point. Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BT Sport: "It was a great pass to Ben Chilwell for the goal and we have said to him that he has a great strike on him. It was sweet and could have won the game but it wasn't to be. But in patches we were good and in the course of time will be better.
A disappointing evening for Lazio was further soured by Patric's indefensible bite on Donati, identified clearly by a video assistant referee review.
