Manager Neil Lennon believes a change in tactics has played a vital part in Celtic stretching their Scottish Premiership lead to 10 points. Since moving to a 3-5-2 after the winter break, Celtic have won all six of their league matches, scoring 22 goals along the way. Lennon played in a similar formation under Martin O'Neill and now believes its suits his own team too. We just felt we were getting a little stale with the 4-3-3," said Lennon.

Beaconsfield Town will host Dorchester Town for this fixture of the league. Both sides are one of the worst teams in the league. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Also, both teams have a poor results in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, this will be a very tense match. Both sides want to get a positive result. In my opinion, the visitors will closer to victory. Dorchester have a more offensive team. True, they have a vulnerable defense. I expect, they tend to score a goal. My pick - Dorchester to win.
The FIGC did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Some clubs such as third-placed Inter, who have had two games postponed, feel that they are at a sporting disadvantage to those who have not had any games called off. Inter have dropped eight points behind leaders Lazio, who have played twice and won both games in the same period, and are six adrift of Juventus, who have played once since the restrictions were introduced.
When approached by a reporter, it was discovered the man thought to be Siewert was in fact Martin Warhurst, a City fan from Wakefield. When it came time to publicly unveil their new manager, Huddersfield roped in the lookalike for a short video to be posted on social media, with Siewert walking into his new office to find the imposter sat at his desk - "Not now, Martin from Wakefield!"While shooting the short clip, Siewert got chatting with his co-star and learned that Warhurst is the CEO of Martin House, a hospice for children in West Yorkshire.
I feel like I am the coach. Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino with chairman Daniel LevyAll was not well and results suggested a rot had set in. The stadium was gleaming new. The Spurs squad was growing old. Too many players had been around too long. The most important thing of all - namely the team - was stale. Pochettino hoped to rebuild with the sale of players such as Christian Eriksen, Danny Rose and Toby Alderweireld.
Manner of McCarthy's exit 'unfortunate'Kenny described the manner of McCarthy's departure as "unfortunate", adding that he had spoken to his predecessor since last weekend. Mick has had a tremendous career as a player and manager with Ireland. He wishes the team well for all of the games coming up," said Kenny. Kenny and the FAI both believe the Euro play-off semi-final against Slovakia and a possible final away to either Bosnia-Herzegovina or Northern Ireland are most likely to be pencilled in for late October or early November.
These discussions are complex and as a result the process is ongoing. There was criticism when Newcastle and Tottenham became the first Premier League clubs to announce they were placing non-playing staff on furlough. Health secretary Matt Hancock said Premier League players should "take a pay cut and play their part" during the pandemic. Since then, Premier League clubs have said they will ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs.

LIVERPOOL, England, March 11 (Reuters) - There are no points in the Champions League for aesthetically pleasing or entertaining football but Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said something didn't feel right about his team's defeat by defence-minded Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. Holders Liverpool were hit by three goals in extra-time, losing 3-2 in the second leg of their last 16 tie at Anfield to go out 4-2 on aggregate and the German, who guided his team to the final in the past two seasons, couldn't resist some barbed comments about his counterpart Diego Simeone's tactics.
It’s a familiar story for the Riverside faithful on Friday night, as they host another side near the bottom of the table. Having clashed with Charlton and Barnsley in their last two home matches, Boro are once again taking on a troubled team.
Southampton's energy levels dipped in the second half, but they held on to restrict Spurs to just one shot on target after the break. It was their fourth clean sheet of a campaign that has veered away from the depths of the 9-0 humiliation at St Mary's by Leicester on 25 October towards signs that Southampton can stay in the Premier League with some comfort. Bad day for Spurs and MourinhoAs brilliant as Ings' goal was, it underlined a defensive frailty that continues to hang around Spurs despite an upturn in results under Mourinho.
The game's decisive moment came seconds after the first 45 minutes were up when Leeds broke and worked the ball to Bamford. His composure set up Hernandez and the Spaniard remained calm after seeing his shot hit the post to eventually find Klich for a tidy finish from the edge of the box. The second-half response by Jonathan Woodgate's side was admirable, with midfielder George Saville's stinging shot forcing a brilliant save from keeper Kiko Casilla and Tavernier bending a shot on to the bar after great approach play and a fine lay-off by Hayden Coulson.
There have been some jaw-dropping moments both on and off the pitch in the Premier League era. Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer are back to discuss, alongside a very giddy Ian Wright on a subject he particularly enjoyed. When you are younger, you just love things going wrong," he said. This is my favourite top 10 and it is fantastic.

But they have badly missed influential players such as talisman Antoine Griezmann, midfielder Rodri and stalwart defenders Juanfran, Diego Godin, Lucas Hernandez and Filipe Luis who all departed the club last year. In the last decade we have competed in many finals, we have won nine trophies and consolidated ourselves among the greatest teams in Europe," added Gil Marin.
The Spanish defender was signed to bolster their ailing defence in the winter window from Brazilian club Flamengo but has yet to feature for the first-team, though he was one of several first-team players to get a run out for the Under-23s against Manchester City on Friday. Video - Arteta: 'We can convince Aubameyang to stay'00:34 And Arteta has admitted that his new signing needs minutes and is likely to play on the south coast as Arsenal look to rescue a poor season with a good cup run.
Goals from Andre Wisdom and Duane Holmes put Derby 2-0 ahead at half-time before Nicky Adams pulled one back. Jack Marriott and Rooney from the spot extended the Rams' advantage, but Northampton got another consolation courtesy of Sam Hoskins' penalty. Reading won a thrilling penalty shoot-out over Cardiff following a 3-3 draw to book a fifth-round home tie with Premier League Sheffield United, while Birmingham also triumphed in a shoot-out, beating Coventry 4-1 after a 2-2 draw.
The arrival of their new boss should improve things for a Stoke side who have showed their talents with some strong displays, sitting in the top half based on the strength of their performance data. They’ve been let down by bad luck and defensive errors, but that’s something O’Neill has proven he can fix.
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has urged the Premier League to provide "clarity" about the proposed takeover of the club. A Saudi Arabian bid, worth £300m, is awaiting approval via the Premier League's owners' and directors' test. Documents for the deal were passed to the league almost three months ago. For everybody, we need a bit of clarity," Bruce said after Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Manchester City.
red star is coming for that promotion, they are in great shape, on second place on the table and I expect from them to continue with wins and crucial fact for this match tonight is defense, bourg en bresse don't have good defense at all and in first game versus red start they conceded 4 goals and of course listed with 1-4, tonight I think their defense is going to aloud at least 2 goals to red star and that is surely going to be enough for hosts to win cause they conceded only 6 goals at home the whole season and the odd is just great
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.
Jack Ross's Hibs will be eager to get their year off to a good start and leave behind the three defeats in their last four games of the year, although they were able to beat city rivals Hearts 2-0 on Boxing Day.
two teams from the middle and their quality is pretty similar,Dundee is favorite for the win in this one because Dunfermline is in terrible shape with 5 defeats in a row, but still that streak must stop and I think they are not going to be defeated again tonight but also it is hard to believe they could win so I think Dunfermline is finally going to play draw because that did not happen for a very long time on their games and on this odd I am surely going to give it a shot but I do not recommend it
Salzburg has been used to winning the title in Austria by a long distance from the rest of the pack but this season is a bit different for them as they are just 2 points above LASK Linz at this moment but I watch these two teams battle at LASK Linz earlier this season and Salzburg was the better team even though LASK took the 2-0 lead in that game they played hard soccer and eventually went a man behind and conceded the last two goals to draw 2-2 in the end.
Twente and Sparta will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Twente this season have the following results: 5W, 6D and 9L. Meanwhile Sparta have 6W, 6D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Well this odds are just too good to be missed. I mean come on there is no way to compare this two teams for sure. Lecce are currently at the 18th spot and every points matter for them from now on at the battle to avoid relegation so they will most likely defend here but the question is how can they stop Ronaldo and their buddies. Juve it looks like they will have a tough time to won the title so if they don't want any surprises they have to go hard against team like this for sure. Home win
Both these sides have not had very good runs in recent matches. Their seasons have not borne the best results and most of it comes from the fact that they have not been so good in attack lately. Brighton have not scored more than a goal in their last three matches, while they have no clean sheet in the last eight matches. Bournemouth, on their part, have not scored more than once in 12 of their last 15 matches, and have just four clean sheets in the same run. Based on their attacking prowess, we will go for an Under 2.5 goals bet here.
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.
Arsenal1997-98 Other notable squad members: Keown, Grimandi, Platt, Anelka"At first, I thought: 'What does this Frenchman know about football?'" said Arsenal captain Tony Adams, unimpressed at the appointment of manager Arsene Wenger from Japanese side Grampus Eight. But the Frenchman silenced critics in his first full season in charge. The Premier League looked lost in February when the Gunners were 12 points adrift of reigning champions Manchester United, but a brilliant late-season charge that included 10 straight victories saw the trophy head to Highbury.
Maidstone hire out their 3G pitch to increase income, with around 1,000 people each week using the club's £5m facilities on the banks of the River Medway. The Stones played their first match back in their home town following an absence of 24 years in 2012 after the completion of the 4,200-capacity Gallagher Stadium. Two years earlier the club had been laden with around £350,000 of debt and almost went out of business.
And now that they're not in Italy, they feel maybe relief they can play in this game. We have to be ready for that," Klopp told reporters. Napoli gave us a proper fight at Anfield last season (in a 1-0 win). We expect them to be strong. Whatever has happened, I don't have a real idea. But if I was a player, I'd be trying to bring the group together and fight the things from outside.
Chieri will host Lucchese for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Lucchese are more vulnerable team in this campaign. They are currently on the 3rd place with 31 points. Also, Lucchese are in solid shape. They have five consecutive victories. Of course, the visitors have the motivation to continue with the winning results. I think, this will not be an easy task. Yeah, Chieri is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 8th place with 24 points. Chieri have big fluctuations. Nevertheless, the hosts will try to break the opponents the winning series.
Birmingham City had a successful match on the West Brom field over the weekend when leaving with 1 point. But it was also the 6th match in a row for this team in the first-class English playground, making them only 7 points more than the red team. The risk of relegation still exists.
Things are becoming a little desperate at Adelaide in recent weeks with four losses in their last four games and their lack of form has led to them dropping out of the finals series places. They had still been scoring in their games despite their poor form but they drew a blank last weekend in a 3-0 loss to Perth and things need to change quickly.
None of the top four in the Premier League made any late moves at the conclusion of a low-key month, with some of the players who had been linked with possible deadline day moves staying put after proposed deals failed to materialise. France's World Cup winner Olivier Giroud remains at Chelsea despite reported interest in the ex-Arsenal striker from several clubs surprisingly including London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The effects of that injury would remain throughout his career. After further injury problems, Chris Waddle's arrival in 1985 signalled the end of Dick's time at the club. Dick, second from right in back row, won the under-18 Euros with ScotlandIt looked like Rangers would be his next destination, a move that would have made Dick the Ibrox club's first high-profile Catholic player three years before Maurice Johnston claimed that label.
The Merseyside club have said "The consultation events are designed for local residents, businesses and fans to learn more and offer their feedback on the club's vision to create a bigger Anfield, which would allow more fans to watch some of Europe's best football in a world-class facility,".

Greaves, 80, has been in poor health since suffering a stroke five years ago. There was no suggestion that he had been suffering from any symptoms related to the coronavirus. We can confirm that our record goalscorer Jimmy Greaves is currently being treated in hospital. We are in touch with his family and will provide further updates in due course," Tottenham said on Twitter.
But camaraderie is important to Ancelotti, who has allowed them nights out, so long as they are ready to work the next day. You can be relaxed around Carlo and talk to him like you would anyone else," said Walcott in the club's programme. We saw the other side of him at West Ham [where Ancelotti delivered a half-time rollocking during the 1-1 draw]. He has that in him - but he is a very calming influence in the dressing room.

But with only five minutes remaining Alonso was again in the right place at the right time to nod home after Ramsdale parried Pedro's shot to grab a much-needed leveller for Frank Lampard's side. The result keeps Chelsea in fourth but Manchester United could close the gap to one point with victory at home to Everton on Sunday, while Bournemouth drop to 17th, two points above the drop zone.
You might think that this would put them in contention for a top four spot, but the fact that they’ve only won five of these 11 games means that they find themselves 6th in the table, five points adrift of Chelsea in the last of the Champions League qualification spots.
