IN OTHER NEWS When you’re young, you have time to waste. And if you’re going to waste it, you might as well waste it like this.

From there, his influence will need to have made a significant impact as the Toffees start the new year at champions Man City before visiting neighbours and league leaders, Liverpool in the FA Cup. As for Arteta, he'll be well aware Arsenal have managed just one win in 13 matches in all competitions and will hope his presence and fresh ideas will spark a much-needed improvement.
Going blow for blow with a team like Zamalek will still be a big ask for the hosts but confidence will be unquestionably high coming into the match. Indeed, El Entag El Harby are now unbeaten in 5 matches across all competitions and having won their last two outings, they have plenty of momentum behind them.
Can SPAL cause a major shock at the San Siro this week? They are bottom of the Serie A table heading into this clash with Milan in the Coppa Italia, with the visitors hoping to cause some problems for the Rossoneri. However, their dire form in the league this term points to a tough night and another Milan victory.
Two previous appearances in this tournament had seen her win just one match. It's all very different this year though and Kenin has only dropped one set on her way to this final. That was in the fourth round losing a set to Coco Gauff. The semi-final saw her defeat world number one Ashleigh Barty to disappoint the home crowd.

He's a great player, he has to find the right pace, but I'm satisfied with his performance. Conte said he now had the right blend of youth and experience. In our staring line-up, we had a lad of 20 years old (central defender Alessadnro Bastoni) and one of 17 (forward Sebastiano Esposito)," said Conte.
Ianis Hagi smashed in a late volley on his first start as Rangers came from behind to earn a Scottish Premiership win over a stubborn Hibernian. Steven Gerrard's side faced slipping nine points behind leaders Celtic after George Edmundson levelled on the stroke of half time following Paul Hanlon's volleyed opener for the visitors. However, Rangers piled on the pressure after the break and Hagi's fine 84th-minute strike - on the day his famous father, Gheorghe, turned 55 - keeps them seven points back.
The hosts, who had an Alvaro Morata effort ruled out for offside after it was referred to VAR, were guilty of wasting several excellent chances to extend their lead until Brazilian defender Felipe volleyed in Koke's cross from the right. Over in Germany, Cristiano Ronaldo's second goal in this season's group stage gave Juventus a narrow win as they completed their Group D fixtures unbeaten. Gonzalo Higuain added a second goal in stoppage time for Maurizio Sarri's side, who have registered five victories from their six games, go into Monday's last-16 draw as one of the seeded teams.
Did you know? Kabasele made 13 clearances and eight headed clearances as well as helping Watford keep a clean sheet. Harry Maguire: The development in Maguire's career has been quite phenomenal. The player I saw playing for Hull City against Chelsea, which is when I first clapped eyes on him, has grown from a promising defender into an international player. Now, he's not just playing for Manchester United but he is their captain and a leading figure in their defensive unit.
Everton have conceded five goals against Liverpool in a match for the first time since November 1982, when they lost 5-0 under Howard Kendall against a Reds side managed by Bob Paisley. Everton find themselves in the relegation zone after playing at least 15 Premier League matches for the first time since April 10th 1999 (after 32 games).
Messi capitalised on Manuel Akanji's defensive blunder, feeding Luis Suarez in the box, the Uruguayan making no mistake from close range. Then Suarez turned provider after Mats Hummels gave the ball away at the back, feeding Messi this time, the Argentine rifling across Roman Burki. Barcelona dominated a shellshocked Dortmund from then on, and Antoine Griezmann - a first-half substitue on for the injured Ousmane Dembele - was on the receiving end of another Messi master pass, finding the back of the net with a well-taken finish for his first goal in five weeks.
We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be scored in Monday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of AZ Jong. The hosts have outperformed their guests in most departments this season and play their best football in their own backyard, while Oss have really struggled to secure points on the road.
Wolves, who had only lost twice in their previous 15 league games, pressed for an equaliser as Ben Foster saved Matt Doherty's header and Ruben Neves fired over in stoppage time. However, Pearson's team showed grit and determination to move level on points with West Ham and sit one point behind 17th-placed Bournemouth.
I am delighted with the odds in this fixture for the over 2.5 goals bet to happen here as the guests are chasing after promotion here but the hosts are also quite attacking minded even in away games not to mention their home games and they need the points to get better chances of finishing the normal season inside the top 8 teams being a couple of points behind those places at this moment, not being that solid in defense for example two rounds ago they were 4-1 down at Hasharon but very good scoring form for them as they drew 4-4 in the end that encounter.
Seattle have won their last five games. Seattle have already beaten the Rams once this season.

There were frequent anti-Uefa chants in the first half, and some supporters brought banners, including examples reading 'Uefa cartel' and 'Uefa mafia'. There were also plenty of songs in support of manager Pep Guardiola and the club's owner Sheikh Mansour. Don't talk too loud, Barcelona'When asked about Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu supporting Uefa over City's punishment, Guardiola said: "I don't know if they spy me but they know me, it is not necessary to spy me.
That responsibility lies with us all. We are also conscious of the economic uncertainty affecting so many businesses and, consequently, virtually every family. Coupled with the unique challenges of self-isolation, the loss of routine to normal working and social life, we face real challenges to our mental wellbeing. Our children may feel anxious with uncertainty. It's not normal for any of us and it's going to challenge us all.
Last weekend, Gabonese football association president Pierre Alain Mounguengui said that Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should consider his future at the club if he wanted to win something. He suggested that moving to a more ambitious side would help the 30-year-old forward add to his meagre honours list.
Puzzled? It is hard not to be, but it seems Ancelotti is bewitched by the idea of building a project and proving he is not only a manager for the big occasions but also one who can lay foundations and create a winning team. Everton are rumoured to have been interested in Ancelotti for some time, since the Italian lost his job at Bayern Munich, if not before. His success at working in highly pressurised environments and the bond he creates with his players - not to mention his tactical nous - have long attracted them to the winning coach.
He's got a chance for tomorrow [to play against Norwich]," Solskjaer told a news conference on Friday. It was a minor thing I don't know where the reports are coming from. You might have got confused with Harry Kane," he added, refering to the Spurs striker who has been ruled out until April with a ruptured tendon in his left leg.
Ings fooled former Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld with a great piece of skill to fire the hosts in front in the 17th minute and a laboured Tottenham rarely threatened. A hamstring injury to Harry Kane that forced the England striker off in the second half ensured it was a miserable start to the new year for Tottenham, whose manager Jose Mourinho was booked for an altercation with the home coaching staff.
The television broadcast during the afternoon made immediately clear that every shout, sound of the referee's whistle, and thud of the ball bouncing off the empty stands would create a haunting atmosphere at all of the matches played in this way. The experience for those inside the stadium was even more bizarre at times. According to the league's hygiene protocol, only up to 320 people, including the players, staff, club officials, journalists, broadcasters, and security personnel were allowed to enter a stadium divided into three sections - the field area, the stands, and the outside area.
Premier League players wearing 'Black Lives Matter' on their shirts shows the league wants to be on the right side of history, says Ian Wright.

As stated above, Schalke have drawn four of their last six home games. Meanwhile, Monchengladbach have also been struggling to find wins away from home recently. We feel that this game may produce a low scoring draw.
We were in a bit of a tricky situation form-wise," says Joel Byrom, a midfielder who spend two years with Northampton from 2014. I think we dropped quite low in the league and a lot of people were calling for his head. Then all of a sudden he signed a couple of players in January who turned out to be really important for us over the next 18 months. Everyone mentions his recruitment. He knows the right people to have around the dressing room.
Another match between two even teams. Both teams are around here in quality. Radnicki are maybe in better shape and momentum but Radnik is one of those teams that is very different when plays as a host rather than as a visitor. Also whenever this two teams are playing the matches between them are very tough and very even and one goal can decide the winner, so I expect same scenario today. Last match between this two finished 0-0 just one month ago in a friendly so this game is not important so I expect same approach from both of the teams and at this one.
Leipzig have scored four goals in two of their last four Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Fortuna have currently got the Bundesliga's joint-worst home goalscoring record. We feel that Leipzig have a good chance of equalling Bayern's 4-0 win over Fortuna this Saturday. We feel that a 4-0 win for Leipzig is a likely outcome of this game.
While Inter Miami might naturally be different to other teams in MLS, to survive it must be different to previous teams in Miami and South Florida. Bolivian-American entrepreneur Marcelo Claure and Tokyo-based Masayoshi Son will help with this, as will chief operating officer and sporting director Paul McDonough, along with two other members of the club's ownership group, Cuban-American brothers Jorge and Jose Mas.
It's something that has never been attempted or achieved before, and I just feel extremely proud as a Cornishman to be able to be involved in the whole experience," said Kernow's director of football Andrew Bragg. My son was playing football in Sweden and he had a team-mate who played for the Sapmi region in 2016. I did some research and thought 'surely Cornwall qualifies to be in this competition'.
Indeed, Timao now have just a 4 point margin for error in terms of their hold on a Copa Libertadores qualification spot and with 4 games left to play, it's imperative they hold onto one. Nonetheless, despite their struggles, Corinthians have lost just once at home all season, winning 9 of their 17 outings in the process, so confidence can be high in seeing off what is a very weak Avai outfit.
