Arsenal defend from the frontThe game began to get away from Arsenal after 34 minutes when Chelsea boss Frank Lampard brought on Jorginho and switched from a 3-4-3 formation to play 4-3-3 - but it was not until after half-time that the visitors really took control. Jorginho coming on was key, because Chelsea needed an extra player in midfield. During the time that Arsenal were on top, the Blues were awful in possession because the Gunners stopped them passing through them - they could not get past first base.
Follow reaction to the game hereSlick City get the job doneAfter a dispiriting month of results - a devastating defeat by Liverpool, two Champions League draws and a narrow win over Chelsea followed by a 2-2 draw with Newcastle - the three points was the most important thing to City. Burnley away is always Burnley away, so we will just try to win," City boss Pep Guardiola said before the game. The team had come away with two narrow wins and a draw in their three visits to Turf Moor under the Catalan.
Mourinho does not come cheap. And he does not work cheap either. Tottenham are proud of the club's academy and see the likes of England midfielder Harry Winks as a signpost to the future; Mourinho often gives the impression of not caring whether an academy exists. It is hard to imagine Levy signing off on an £89m fee for Paul Pogba, £75m for Romelu Lukaku, or £52m for Fred, as Ed Woodward did at Manchester United.
Former Burnley and Bolton boss Owen Coyle has been named the new manager of Indian Super League club Chennaiyin. Coyle, 53, has joined the club until the end of the season, replacing John Gregory who left on Saturday with Chennaiyin currently second from bottom in the league. Scot Coyle was most recently manager of Ross County following a spell at Blackburn Rovers. I am incredibly proud to join Chennaiyin FC," he said.
That was the Dutch loan signing's second of the season and the eighth Magpies goal in the last 10 scored by a defender. City's Gabriel Jesus and De Bruyne were thwarted by Martin Dubravka after the break before substitute Bernardo Silva pulled a shot wide from eight yards. And in stoppage time Sterling's shot from six yards lacked venom which allowed Dubravka to make an easy save.
That is some interest for a lad whose name his manager couldn't even remember not so long ago. Morning! "We are staying up," they chanted at the London Stadium last night - except it was the away side Arsenal whose fans were singing it. Yes the Gunners are back, and so is their sense of humour. It wasn't all plain sailing though and there were boos at half-time from the away end when they trailed 1-0 to West Ham - only for three second-half goals to turn the result on its head.
In recent seasons - even within a season - Burnley can swing from one extreme to the other. They went from qualifying for Europe in 2018 to battling relegation last season. During that struggle last term, they managed one win in 12 games from October to December - then pulled clear of trouble with an eight-match unbeaten run.
It has been the same story in almost every window throughout the Moshiri era -- with a series of signings failing to live up to expectations. Davy Klaassen, Cenk Tosun, Nikola Vlasic and Sandro Ramirez are just some of the players who were supposed to lift Everton towards the top six but who never came close to the standard required.
The organisation, meeting in Belfast, also approved clarifications to the handball law to "differentiate more clearly" between the arm and shoulder. And substitutions for concussion cases are to be trialled, potentially at the Tokyo Olympics this summer. It appears likely that permanent substitutions would be the preferred option rather than a temporary substitution while a 10-minute assessment is carried out.
They showed that against opponents who still needed that crucial point to assure a place in next season's Champions League. Chelsea were the better team early on but Liverpool produced on those spells after the midway point in the first half in which they are simply irresistible. Liverpool scored three goals and even when Chelsea threatened an unlikely resurgence, they rose to the challenge again to confirm the win through substitute Oxlade-Chamberlain.
It's very extensive. We have very deep and resourceful intelligence networks. What are the issues with Newcastle's takeover? Fair/Square wrote to Premier League chief executive Richard Masters and Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham last week to underline two parts in the test where they felt the Saudi bid should be disqualified: F1.

After eight months maybe some players are a little tired, so we need to think about that. Millwall manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio London:"We were superb in different ways today. In the first 45 minutes, from an attacking sense, I thought all three goals were very, very well worked and we had some other opportunities which was pleasing. We could have come here and gone 5-2-3, but I felt there was an opportunity against Forest to exploit certain areas and one of those was a little bit of direct play on the angle to big Smudge (Matt Smith).
I don't understand these odds at all. Freiburg is team who playing much better football away from home. They have great contra attack, score much easier than at home. Koln is fighting against relegation. Don't forget they won Freiburg in the first part of season and Freiburg was in great form in that time. I think bookies once more try to give so big odds for better team to try to move us away from betting on this game. But looking at stats, form and roster this is away win for me written all over this game. Away win stake 9.
S. United fans chanted protest songs aimed at the Glazer family, who have owned the club since 2005, while their team fell to a second straight loss. Chris Wood fired Burnley ahead in the 39th minute with a half-volley on the turn after a simple free kick routine in which Ben Mee headed the ball down into the path of the New Zealand international.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0 between the pair. Vitoria Setubal are yet to lose at home and have only conceded one goal but they have failed to score in half of the matches in front of their home fans this season and their guests have only lost twice on the road, which is why we have backed a goalless draw this weekend.

In arguably the toughest group in the Champions League this season, any team can still mathematically qualify for the knockout stages. Barcelona currently lead the way but only by a point and they need a win this week to guarantee their passage into the knockout stages. A disappointing goalless draw against Slavia Prague in the last matchweek, opened the door for both Dortmund and Inter Milan and they need to perform this week to close the door for at least one of those sides.
The job was done for Leicester, who continued to pepper Randolph's goal, but Perez doubled his tally with a slick finish from inside the box. The victory leaves Leicester 14 points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, while West Ham remain level on points with second-bottom Watford and without a win in three successive league games.

The debate around his suitability for Everton is a valid one, but it is hard to question or criticise owner Farhad Moshiri for pulling off this undoubted coup. It is a show of ambition by Moshiri. He has handed Ancelotti a lucrative long-term contract and will also back him heavily in the transfer market. It could light up Goodison Park. Moshiri's reign has been disappointing so far, but he deserves huge credit for refusing to accept second best when such an outstanding candidate suddenly appeared on the market at the same time he was seeking a new manager.

JS Kabylie will host MC Oran for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the visitors will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. Oran is one of the ambitious teams in this season. True, Oran is not very good team away from home. In last game Oran played in a 0-0 draw with Biskra.

I expect, this will be tense match. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
Banfield will host Huracan for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home ground. However, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Banfield is very average team in this season. Banfield is a very unpredictable team. Also, the hosts are in poor shape in recent times. On the other hand, Huracan is also not very good team. Nevertheless, the visitors will probably try to try all three points or even one point. So, the visitors wants to get the victory because they constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. My pick - Huracan to win.

In midweek Crystal Palace were furious that they were denied a penalty when Wilfried Zaha tangled with Victor Lindelof, and then had a potential equaliser from Jordan Ayew ruled out by VAR for a very marginal offside. And Bruno Fernandes won a penalty at Villa Park earlier this month which Villa boss Dean Smith called a "disgraceful decision". Referring to that decision, Lampard said this week: "Fernandes is very clever in his movement.
Energetik will host Altyn Asyr for this fixture of the league. Yeah, the visitors are favorites in this game. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Altyn Asyr are more ambitious team in this league. They are undefeated in their last 3 matches. However, this will not be an easy task. In last game Altyn Asyr played in a 1-1 draw with Kopetdag Asgabat. On the other hand Energetik is not very good team in this season. However, in previous game Energetik is won 1-2 against Nebitci. Of course, the hosts have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they will try to provide a strong resistance.
