Beating Watford might not feel like a big deal to some people but, after United got such a big win at Chelsea on Monday, I always saw this as a game where they might slip up - especially with an early kick-off on a Sunday when the stadium might be a bit flat. They ended up winning comfortably, but they did not have it all their own way. Watford started really well and put them under pressure, and United were a bit sloppy sometimes with their passing out of defence.
Only six points separate the top seven teams, surprise leaders Sivasspor out in front by one point at the top. This match focuses on one of the chasing pack. Three points behind in fifth place, Galatasary play host to Yeni Malatyaspor, a midtable side currently tenth. Galatasaray are one of the form teams in the league at the minute, winning five games on the trot.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1Samuel's prediction: I'm kind of fighting with my answer here but I am going to go with Arsenal, because they have some amazing attacking players and they have just clicked recently. I know Villa are fighting right now but Everton's equaliser against them last week hurt them a lot. WEDNESDAY Man Utd v West Ham (18:00 BST)Manchester United are at home, against a West Ham side who know they are not getting relegated because of their goal difference.
But Liverpool had to deal with the Raheem Sterling saga, the departure of Steven Gerrard and the late arrival of Mario Balotelli in what turned out to be a fairly farcical summer. Yet when the two sides met in October 2015 the optimism was emanating from both benches, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp taking charge of his first game after Rodgers’ sacking.
Neymar paid tribute to late basketball legend Kobe Bryant with a goal celebration in Paris St-Germain's win at Lille. Confirmation of the five-time NBA champion's death in a helicopter crash came during the Ligue 1 game. Neymar gave PSG the lead with a 20-yard curling effort in the first half. After scoring a second-half penalty, he held up two fingers on one hand and four on the other, marking Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers shirt number 24.

What is the background?Premier League clubs previously said they would ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs. However, the Professional Footballers' Association said such a cut could harm the NHS, adding players were "mindful of their social responsibilities".

There is a reason why Frank Lampard makes so many changes, both of formation and personnel, and it is not for the fun of it. Which is not to say that Chelsea are useless, nor that they have no scope for improvement. But they are painfully short on class – the kind of class that cannot be inculcated on the training ground and it is hard to see how that changes without the lavishing of considerable sums of money.
Torpedo Zhodino is having all of their games in the season, under 2.5 goals, and some of them are even with only one in the net for the rivals. They are going to face BATE in Borisov Arena, which is near the bottom and which have lost three of their four league games.

Reims have a potentially easy opportunity for three points here but they will need to watch for complacency as they travel to the Pink City. David Guion's men kept up their good run of form last week as they beat Saint-Étienne 3-1, extending their unbeaten run to four games. Generally it has been a solid period for Reims as they have lost just one of their last nine games but they could do with some more wins as they have drawn three of their last four.
Clubs in the EFL face a bleak future as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, says football finance expert Kieran Maguire. No return date for football below the Premier League has been put in place. Clubs are facing the possibility that they may be playing behind closed doors until January when they do return to action. The industry has been effectively taken out at the knees as a result of the pandemic," Maguire said.
The picture for this game has been distorted by the last couple of results, which have seen Preston draw two games scoring just one goal. With Reading winning back to back home games their hopes are being talked up here, but things should be very different at Deepdale. This is a different challenge for Preston, who have been ruthless going forward in the Championship this term.
So to follow that up was amazing. At that point, playing like that with Lubo coming in, we felt we were going to win the league. He was just standing there eating a burger'While Rangers would bounce back to claim not only the title but complete the domestic treble, the 5-1 derby win was just the start for Moravcik, who would go on to become a Celtic idol. But immediately after his Old Firm starring role, he was able to drift off into the Glasgow night a relative unknown.
I spent most of the 70s trying to get some international recognition. My first cap was in 1975, then I got another in 1978. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get yourself noticed and I used to complain a bit to [club manager] Sir Alex Ferguson about it. It was a big game. The thing about Wembley in those days was that it was mostly Scotland fans that were there. Where they got the tickets from, who knows.
Annan and Stenhousemuir will face each other in the upcoming match in the League Two. Annan this season have the following results: 8W, 3D and 11L. Meanwhile Stenhousemuir have 5W, 5D and 12L.

She may be one of the best strikers in the world, but even Sam Kerr admits she felt nervous about playing in the Women's Super League. Chelsea beat off competition from the likes of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to sign the Australia international, who has broken a string of goalscoring records during her illustrious career. But despite her fearsome reputation, Kerr tells BBC Sport she was still anxious about her move to England.
Callum Hudson-Odoi scored his first Premier League goal as Chelsea returned to winning ways at Stamford Bridge and consolidated their top-four place with a convincing victory over Burnley. See alsoChelsea v Burnley - Premier League LIVE The Blues came into the game off the back of consecutive home defeats to Bournemouth and Southampton and a third straight loss would have equalled their worst record since 1993.
Leicester City are clear favorites here; they will be playing at home against a really weak side and one that has not been so good away from home. Leicester have three wins in the last five meetings with Aston Villa, and are unbeaten in the last three meetings. They don’t just have a good run over Villa, they are also superior in other aspects. Leicester have scored two or more goals in 12 of the last 15 matches, while Aston Villa have conceded two or more in 10 of the last 15. They have also conceded two or more in 10 of the last 14 away matches. Villa have however, scored in 12 of the last 15 matches and though Leicester will be keen on giving all in the first leg, we will give Villa a shot here as well. A 3-1 win for Leicester City is good pick here.
There were monkey chants made," the DFB said in a statement. It said Schalke could use up to 16,000 euros of own funds for anti-racism and anti-discrimination projects with the amount deducted from their fine. The DFB warned Schalke of tougher sanctions in case of another incident. This is not the first time Schalke have been in the spotlight for racism.
However, this is not your usual 'England' team. The whole thing is fairly far-fetched, but it is a great story about how far you can take a long-shot request and push the boundaries until you become an international football team,” Gary Christian, captain of Peel St-Germain, told BBC Sport. PSG’ are a team of office workers, plumbers, cleaners and the like from Peel, on the Isle of Man. They are scheduled to play as England for the second time in the Mountain Village European Championship - the self-titled "craziest tournament in the Alps".
Mourinho brought back Eric Dier to sit in front of the back four but their familiar failings were evident as West Ham narrowed the scale of the defeat. I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training. And we had the ball to make it 4-0 and kill the game," said Mourinho.
City were also fined 30m euros (£25m) on Friday for "serious breaches" of Uefa's financial regulations. City say they will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. At the end of the process we will see if they are punished or not," Mourinho said. Uefa punished them but they have the chance to appeal.

It's all coming home to roost. This is going to get bad. The next six months are going to be really difficult.

We therefore feel both teams to score is a good shout here, as the hosts seem to have found their goalscoring form, netting seven times in their last two. Meanwhile, the Hibees have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their 10 away games this season and at the same time scored at least once in six of their last seven.
Diego Simeone's side, whose last defeat against lower-ranked opposition was against Albacete in the final game before the manager's arrival, currently sit third in the La Liga table. It is their third defeat in a row - they lost to Eibar in the league on Saturday, having lost 4-1 on penalties to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final the previous Sunday. On Wednesday, former Atletico striker Antoine Griezmann scored two late goals as Barcelona avoided a shock defeat against third tier UD Ibiza.
Bonetti was part of an emerging, gifted Chelsea side under Tommy Docherty that epitomised London's 'Swinging 60s' alongside greats such as Bobby Tambling, Peter Osgood, Harris, Terry Venables and Barry Bridges. Chelsea won their first knockout trophy in 1965 with a two-legged 3-2 win over Leicester City - who had England keeper Gordon Banks in goal - in the League Cup. Bonetti's second-leg heroics in a 0-0 draw at Filbert Street proving pivotal.

Ibrahimovic helped AC Milan win their last major trophy, the Serie A title in 2010-11, before leaving to join Paris St Germain the following year in a move that he said on Friday was against his will. He has been a free agent since leaving Los Angeles Galaxy in November. At 38, I have received more offers than at 28," he told reporters.
It’s possible that they could end the weekend as low as seventh. Perhaps the most damning indictment of where Atletico Madrid are right now could be found in the sense of futile helplessness they played with in the second half. Much of this down to injuries, with Diego Costa, Joao Felix, Koke and Kieran Trippier all sidelined with Alvaro Morata also withdrawn in the second half with a knock, but Simeone had no way of affecting the game.

A veteran Italian pundit was dropped from one of the country’s Sunday night round table programmes in September after suggesting Lukaku could only be stopped by giving him bananas to eat. Last month, the president of Italian club Brescia said on the sidelines of a Serie A meeting that striker Mario Balotelli’s problem was that he was "black", and he was "trying to get whiter.
West Brom have seen both teams score in 100% of their home games this term. They’ve seen it land in each of their last five in the league overall, while Boto have scored in four successive games. We expect the visitors to continue the long-wait for a Hawthorns clean sheet, but we’re backing West Brom to rally and win. The hosts have won six from 11 at home despite conceding in each. With Middlesbrough losing to each of the top four so far, we think West Brom and both teams to score is a good option here.
I probably won't play again'Fletcher, who won five Premier League titles at Old Trafford and earned 80 caps for Scotland, has not played for a professional club since his two-year stint at Stoke came to an end last summer. Although the Scot believes he is still capable of playing at a high level, he does not expect to continue his playing career. I haven't officially announced anything and I'm just happy to let time pass," he said.
Also gone were the likes of influential captain Paul McStay and the 'Three Amigos' - the talented but troublesome strike trio of Paolo di Canio, Jorge Cadete and Pierre van Hooijdonk. I think everybody was fearing the worst," says Gould, who was among the raft of new signings along with a certain Swedish striker, Henrik Larsson. There was a sense it would take time for us to gel. Gould, who had been plucked from obscurity but would quickly become first-choice keeper, was blissfully unaware he had just been dropped into a maelstrom.
Spurs have taken up the option to buy in January. I think the boy is earning the decision," said Mourinho. He is making it an easy decision for the club to execute the options. Incredible evolution since I arrived. By himself he made the decision that the club is going to execute the option. Lo Celso has been more involved under Mourinho, having made only a handful of appearances under previous boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Derby’s weekend scalp has put them back in the top six picture, as they saw off promotion contenders Preston at the weekend. Now the Rams are only five points shy of a packed top six fight.
