Preview: 'Caps return home to BC Place, aim to even up Best-Of-3 Series against LAFC | Watch on MLS Season Pass · Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs. Los .... LAFC MLS Playoff Preview: Los Angeles look to closeout We play now on Wednesday, Sunday and Tuesday, Klopp said. That is impossible. We do not have the players. We could maybe have another case or two. We have to think about it, we cannot just push it all through. Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini also had a late penalty saved by Wojciech Szczesny after Matthijs de Ligt had been shown a second yellow card for handball. Lukaku was brought in to nudge the Italy midfielder off the top of that chart, but injury and Covid-19 have kept him on the sidelines for much of the first half of the season. At Sampdoria alone, he signed the likes of Patrik Schick, Lucas Torreira and Milan Skriniar for small fees and sold them for big money, earning himself the nickname 'L'uomo delle plusvalenze' (the profit man) in the Italian press. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't want to do things by halves. Belletti wants to be as good a coach as he was a player. An early strike from Amine Adli was enough for fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen to see off Bochum with victories for Borussia Monchengladbach over Greuther Furth and Hoffenheim against RB Leipzig. They get to fourth place, then they fall straight back down the ladder again. I just can't explain what a bad result that is on Friday, it's a shocker. SCORE PREDICTION: 1-1 BETTING ANGLE: Second half to have most goals (11/10 with Sky Bet) Opta statsFollowing a seven-game unbeaten run, Crystal Palace have lost their last three Premier League games. Both those teams have a game in hand but in reality it’s Sevilla who are the last real challengers to Real, and they could close the gap at the top to five points if they win their game in hand. Sky Sports have announced more Premier League games to be shown live next month with Liverpool's home encounter against Manchester United re-arranged for Tuesday April 19. He created five chances for Brighton in the first half - the most he's ever created in a Premier League game - and despite being quieter after the break, did more than enough to warrant the man of the match award. Inteirm manager Ralf Rangnick is to move to a consultancy role at the end of the season, despite making some small progress since taking over following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. I think over the past four to five weeks, there's probably been an inevitability about it, he added. Atleti surrendered a two-goal lead in a first half which ended at three-apiece, and seemingly were hanging on for a draw before the substitute acrobatically volleyed home from close range. Having defeated Manchester United to win the Europa League last season, Villarreal's success in Europe has continued this campaign with impressive victories over Juventus and Bayern Munich. As with any managerial appointment, the mind naturally walks over to the imaginary whiteboard and uncaps the imaginary pen. What's the team going to look like? Who's going to be in? Who's out? Given that Rangnick is the high priest of intense counter-pressing, and is on the record as saying that young players are easier to work with, you have to assume that this is good news for United's stockpiles of bright-eyed and eager youngsters. The Jadon Sancho/Mason Greenwood/Marcus Rashford/Amad Diallo era begins now. But asked if things could come to a strike, he added: No, I don't think so because we want to play. We want to continue - to make the people happy going to the stadium on the 26th, 27th, 29th, 31st and 1st, and play games, because we love to do that. We've got a challenging game at the weekend so I don't really want to look too far ahead of that, but with the players we have got in the squad, we should be higher than where we are. Newcastle, who are in the relegation zone, have signed Burnley striker Chris Wood for £25m and Atletico Madrid right-back Kieran Trippier for £12m in the current transfer window. They won't panic and they know how to get shock results. Free-to-watch Premier League highlightsTransfer Centre LIVE!

The response I give when I say it's subject to his evolution, don't let it be interpreted as me not giving all the information I possess. Clinical and ruthless, the high press was outstanding, formation top, all these things you want to see as a coach. City's Champions League qualifying exit to competition debutants Real Madrid, followed by a cruel league defeat to Tottenham - where a late goal ended a 33-game unbeaten home run but should never have stood - has been debilitating. Pereira only arrived in the January of that season but could only win six of his 20 games, leading to recriminations over who was responsible. Johnson showed his pace after robbing fellow Wales international Ben Cabango and Grabban was unable to convert his cross at the far post. “We know each other well. It’s been six seasons [since I arrived], we know each other perfectly. We accept the good things, the bad things, to fight and be part of that.” It was the first time since the semi-final of Euro '96 against Germany that England have not made a substitution in a match. Elland Road's first Premier League clash between these old foes in front of fans since 2003 lived up to the billing in torrential rain on Sunday afternoon in West Yorkshire. Goals from Mario Vrancic and Tyrese Campbell saw Stoke boost their play-off push with a 2-0 win over Peterborough, although the victory was tainted by Sam Surridge's sending-off in injury-time. This was the 10th time he has scored Liverpool’s first goal in a game this season. His penalty-box prowess, with both feet and with his head, rivals anyone around right now. Espanyol's key man was on top of his game this evening for Los Periquitos, providing an assist for Sergi Darder, and also getting on the scoresheet when Darder returned the favour in the second half. They are the best side in this league by quite a way and things will have to go catastrophically wrong for them not to be in the Premier League next season. Soon after, a weak effort from Tete saw the ball lash into the side of the net, as Lyon looked to force the issue. Less than a minute into the second half there was another contentious moment involving Harris and the officials. Harris was the first to reach a long ball from Will Vaulks but, as soon as he touched the ball, he was taken out by a rash sliding tackle by Caoimhin Kelleher midway through the Liverpool half. Leicester Position: 3rdGames played: 25Points: 49 Merson says: Leicester fell away last year when looking like securing a Champions League spot, but I don't think that will happen this time around.

Runners-up will go into the new knockout round play-offs, where they will face the third-placed UEFA Champions League teams for places in the round of 16. The top two sides in Group D face-off on Saturday and, with at least one guaranteed to drop points, NI move level with Austria and just two points behind leaders England at the halfway point of the campaign. They've got a good squad but I think they'll go again with maybe one or two signings in January. If they can, then they can challenge for those places in Europe next season. Purslow clearly thought he had the attributes to make a good manager, and I think Villa have taken this decision looking at all the possibilities of who they might be able to attract, but deciding that Steven Gerrard is the best candidate going forward. Gerrard's in-tray: The issues for him to sort at Villa Villa have appointed Gerrard but what is top of the agenda for the new man at Villa Park?
