Not Mikel Arteta, who retains a certain aura around him after having been close to landing the job 18 months ago, accruing extensive experience as assistant to Pep Guardiola and retaining some credibility despite captaining Arsenal through one of the more difficult periods of the Wenger era. But he is a complete novice.
It is the 25th day of the Raiffeisen Super League, the Swiss football championship where Lugano will host Luzern. Lugano sit 7th place with 27 points. Luzern sit 5th place with 34 points. Both teams are in identical form lately. Lugano are undefeated in 7 games, 3 games ended in draw. Away team in last game surprisingly defeated Basel 2:1. In my opinion Luzern is a favorite in this game. They just have a really strong run. Lugano, on the other hand, could only win one of the last five games. Today it will be a tough game between these two teams. The draw result would serve good for both team.
The Eagles could do with improving their home form next, but I think they might have to settle for a point this time. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Bobby's prediction: 2-1Bobby has analysed all the Premier League results so far in 2019-20 and used them as the basis of his predictions. He explained: "The most common draw result was 1-1 (13. So rather than trying to be individually smart about matches, once I've established a result of home win, draw or away win, I've gone for the average result frequency.
But when you bring on a goalie who is Tom Thumb and they lose nine goals. We should have done more damage'22 June, Frankfurt. Scotland 1-1 YugoslaviaVictory would take Scotland into the last eight. Even a draw would have been good enough if Brazil failed to beat Zaire by three clear goals. But they did, winning 3-0. The Scots fall a goal behind with fewer than 10 minutes left, with Jordan's late equaliser not enough.
There was always a fantastic atmosphere at Upton Park for the big games. But that night was very eerie. You could hear the radio commentary drifting across the pitch, and what the coaches were saying to themselves in the dugouts. In fact that was the only game in my whole career that I could hear everything that was said from the bench. One voice stood out above the others - Eddie Baily, a World War Two veteran as well as a former England international.
Leicester city is the most in form team in the premier league right now after Liverpool. They have won their last 7 matches and I expect them to win this match easily as well. They sit on the second spot right now and managed 10 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats so far.
The player returning from abroadKallum Higginbotham has returned after an eventful season in the Indian I-League with David Robertson's Real Kashmir. The 30-year-old former Falkirk, Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic forward's time in the war-torn region ended with almost 50 days in quarantine at his hotel. If I was in this situation in the past, I would have been a hell of a lot more worried than I am now.
The only way to turn his head back to PSG? The season resumes and they win the Champions League. But that’s a scenario that rests on a bundle of uncertainties… WHO IS INTERESTED? Barcelona of course. The trial and error experiment with Antoine Griezmann on the left side is the latest argument for Neymar’s return.
The Croatian midfielder headed in from close range midway through the first half before adding his second after the break with a neat backheel flick. Josip Ilicic's strike then wrapped up a comfortable victory in stoppage time at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti to leave Brescia in further trouble at the bottom of the league.
Confirmed as champions several weeks ago, Liverpool could end up finishing 21 points ahead of Manchester City on 99 points overall if they win this game and City lose theirs. Newcastle are 13th in the table, a place in the table they can mathematically not finish higher than. If they fail to win and Palace beat Spurs, they will finish 14th.
The Hornets have rediscovered their goal-scoring sting under Nigel Pearson, hitting the net in each of their new manager's first three games at the helm, however we also expect any goal they net this week to be a consolation effort.
This poor form on the road stretches further back than just this season though – they have won two of their last 13 Premier League away games and haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 14. Meanwhile, they have failed to score themselves in four of their last seven.
Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection. In the face of this unprecedented adversity, all the stakeholders within the game from players, fans, clubs, owners and administrators need to step up and share the pain to keep the game alive.

Servette and Thun will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super League. Servette this season have the following results: 6W, 6D and 5L. Meanwhile Thun have 2W, 3D and 12L.

A brilliant performance from Burnley gave them their first win at Old Trafford since 1962, and took them seven points clear of the relegation zone. United, meanwhile, missed their sixth chance to close the gap on Chelsea and were absolutely dreadful; it's hard to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer coming back from this.
Walter Ferreti is going to face Jalapa for the first leg of the playoffs. The hosts are favorites to pick the first win here as they were undefeated in the last weeks. Ferretti lost only against the best team of Nicaragua Managua FC 0:1 in the previous match. Ferretti won at home against Sabanas 2:0, Real Madrid 4:0, and Esteli 1:0. Jalapa lost against Managua 1:6 in their last away match. I don't think that they will not lose this match by less than two goals. I pick Ferretti to win this match by more than two goals. My picks are 2:0 or 3:1 for Walter
Celtic suffered a shock Europa League last-32 exit after a dramatic - and self-inflicted - defeat against FC Copenhagen in Glasgow. Neil Lennon's side looked to have forced extra time when Odsonne Edouard dinked in a penalty - awarded after a VAR check - with seven minutes left to cancel out Michael Santos' opener. But the Danish champions netted twice on the break in the final five minutes - through Pep Biel and Dame N'Doye - to earn a 4-2 aggregate win and mete out Celtic's first defeat in 2020.

This piece from Matt Slater of The Athletic fame (£) on the "terrible" state of Premier League finances is worth getting hold of.

Such a run of form has seen them put some distance between themselves and the drop-zone, of which they're now five points clear.
CHANCE! They don't look assured in defence, but Arsenal do look lively in attack. Nelson skips past his marker in the box and fizzes a cross into Martinelli, who heads over from six yards out. The cross might have been a bit behind him, but would have expected Martinelli to finish from there. GOAL! Arsenal take the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Appointed at the start of the 2008-09 campaign, he already had Barcelona on course for their first ever treble in his first season in charge but a Clasico against Real Madrid was the setting for the reinvention of Messi as he played as a false nine for the first time and Barcelona won 6-2 at the Bernabeu.

It was a bit more nervous than it needed to be in the end and I'm a bit tired of saying that," said Lampard. It is a bit the story of our season. We need to take more of our chances. We leave teams slightly in the game, then they have two shots and score one goal. That was the frustrating thing in a very good performance. I felt it was so comfortable but I was aware of the Valencia score (a 1-0 win over Ajax) and 2-0 was a dangerous scoreline if you are scared of getting a draw.
Werder have also been enduring a poor run of form in recent weeks. They are currently at the bottom of the Bundesliga's form table for the past six games. They have accumulated just four points over the past six games. They also have a goal difference of -8 from the past six games.
