But, yet again, the club are facing fierce criticism, after a night when supporters chanted against their ownership and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward amid inconsistent results and a lack of new signings so far this month. Toxic, embarrassing, worst squad in 30 years' - pundits and fans on Man Utd defeatSolskjaer will face the media again on Friday morning, when the Norwegian conducts his scheduled press conference.
Three of Osasuna’s last four matches have ended in over 2. They have one win in five home matches though the last two have produced clean sheets. Osasuna have failed to score in just one of their last eight home matches but they have one win in their last seven La Liga matches. In the last 15 league matches, they have managed just three clean sheets.
GOAL-SAVING CLEARANCE! Milner has saved a goal! Awful defending allowed Fraser to get behind the defence and lob a ball over Adrian but the stand-in defender showed his worth clearing a yard from the line. OFF THE POST! Great effort from Mane. He curled the ball with his instep from 25 yards out on the left that dipped and smashed against the woodwork just below the angle of the bar.
They travel to Billericay Town, who sit four places higher than them in the table, in one of two all-fourth-tier ties. In the other, Brighouse Town FC host their National League Division One North title rivals Barnsley. Both those sides are unbeaten in the league this term, with Brighouse seven points behind the leaders Barnsley with a game in hand. Those two ties will ensure that at least two fourth-tier outfits reach this season's fourth round.
Meanwhile, newly-appointed West Ham manager David Moyes will also have to weigh up what is required for the Hammers to steer clear of the drop-zone. Olivier Giroud is reportedly a target for West Ham, but whether the Frenchman is willing to make the step down – albeit without having to up sticks – remains to be seen.
Tottenham are only two points ahead of their opponents on Tuesday, but they find themselves in much higher spirits than their Manchester-based counterparts. Former Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho has breathed new life into the Spurs squad, overseeing a win in each of his opening three games and pushing them to within six points of the Premier League top four.
The Premier League has confirmed one person returned a positive result in its latest round of Covid-19 testing. A total of 1,541 players and club staff were tested for coronavirus this week. The person, who has not been identified, will now self-isolate for seven days. Last week a Norwich player was one of two positive results from 1,200 tests. There have now been a total of 17 positive results from nine rounds of testing.
It is hard to see the Gunners adding to their tally here, and their situation is not helped by the injuries and suspension they have picked up in the past week. Arsenal have lost two away games on the trot in that time and I think Southampton will extend that run to three. Saints looked good against Norwich - they seemed sharp and fit, they smelled blood and they went for it. OK, you could say that it was only against Norwich - but this is only Arsenal.
However, in a fabulously contested Carabao Cup final it was Bravo who got the plaudits and was mobbed for his match-winning save. It's not easy when you're the understudy and not considered the best goalkeeper at the club. Nevertheless, Bravo proved his worth against Villa. I'm not entirely sure how Bravo got both hands to Bjorn Engels' header but he managed to push the Villa defender's effort against the post.

Roma lost their great form since the beginning of the season, they have lost 4 of their last 7 games played so far this year, they won just one of their last seven games played already in all competitions. Their disappointing outing against Sassuolo 2-4, which saw them drop from the first 4 in the league, position Atalanta took over. On their own pitch the have been on a record of one win in their last 5 games played.

Subs - Valverde 7, Jovic 5, Vinicius 5. KEY MOMENTS 29’ Massive save from Courtois! Arambarri must've thought he'd scored! The ball fell to him nicely on the edge of the box, the Getafe man caught it sweetly, but the Real Madrid goalkeeper made the flying stop! 34’ GOAL! Getafe 0-1 Real Madrid: Out of nothing, Real Madrid have taken the lead! Getafe dealt with a freekick, but Mendy's delivery back into the area prompted Soria to come off his line and the goalkeeper was beaten to the ball by Varane who bundles it into the back of the net via his shoulder! A messy goal.
Lewandowski takes his tally to 30 goals for club and country in his 24th appearance of the season in all competitions, with 10 goals coming in the Champions League group stages. The Pole converted a penalty on 53 minutes to double Bayern's lead from the first half, then the 31-year-old put a further three goals past Red Star goalkeeper Milan Borjan within seven minutes. In 2015 Lewandowski scored five in nine minutes after coming on as a substitute in Bayern's victory over Wolfsburg to record the fastest five goals scored by one player in Bundesliga history.
A United goal was palpably in the post, but there were only a few minutes for it to arrive. The German television commentator Marcel Reif wasn’t alone in thinking they’d left it too late. Maybe I shouldn't say this, and I promise never to say it again, ever,” he began. Football, as Gary Lineker once said, is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.
The best pick we play at the mach now for this mach from this two Sweden teams we play at the mach now between Oktan and perm we will play the best pick for this mach a tip 1 the win from home team in the ordinary time this much now and can we play the best new chance for this our play and can get a new great win from more points for this match now. If we see this win from this home team we will can look get a new great win from new 10 points to our score best .
He has got a lot of work to do, but you can see what everyone is talking about - he is just so dangerous. I love seeing talented young players but what sticks out for me is if I can identify character and temperament too. If I could pick one player for United to sign in January, it would be Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. He is quick, dynamic and young, and he is creative and hungry for success too.
Juventus have found the net in 17 of their 18 Serie A games this season, the joint-most this term. It will take time for them to match the thrills of Sarri’s Napoli, but the visitors have scored twice in 12 of their league games so far. They’ve put on a show away to leaders Inter Milan, top scorers Atalanta and last week they hammered surprise package Cagliari 4-0.
Levante signed off with an away defeat to Atletico Madrid a fortnight ago, but the 2-1 loss was no disgrace considering how formidable Atleti are at Wanda Metropolitano. Granotas should still be brimming with confidence after beating Barca in such tremendous style and we're predicting a straightforward win for them here.

But instead we were all waiting for about half an hour as they were queuing up for KFC orders. Then there were lots of diversions and that held us up even more - the journey took an hour-and-a-half more than it needed to. Sleep's for wimps. Eighteen-year-old student Taylor finally got home at 0700 GMT on Wednesday after the bus containing fans and players arrived back at Holker Street 15 minutes earlier.
Sangju Sangmu will host Gwangju for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. Also, I think, both teams will have a very difficult task in this season. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Gwangju who's is poor team at the start of the new campaign. They have two consecutive losses. In any case, the visitors have the motivation to break the poor series. I think, Gwangju will try to get a positive result on the opposite stadium. My pick - draw.

Voluntari since changing their coach this winter break this year have been simply great and from a team clear bottom of the league table during the normal season they now have two wins in a row in this relegation group since the restart as they first won 3-0 at home with Clinceni and it is much easier to score goals at this stage against Iasi than against Clinceni as Iasi and Clinceni met last round and Clinceni won on the road with 1-0 in the end.
Martin Peters (r) is one of only two Englishmen to ever score in a World Cup finalAnd when Peters put England 2-0 up in the now infamous quarter-final against West Germany in Leon with one of those familiar far-post arrivals on the end of Newton's right-wing cross, Ramsey looked on course for more success. Instead, with the outstanding Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Bonetti having a rare off day as a late replacement after Gordon Banks was taken ill and Ramsey's substitution of Bobby Charlton with Colin Bell backfiring, West Germany fought back to win 3-2.
The Hornets are currently unbeaten in four league matches and have won three of those, lifting them off the bottom of the table and to within touching distance of safety. The great escape is most definitely on at Vicarage Road, and it only took them three managers in half a season to get there.
Otherwise, competition would be distorted. Berbatov: Liverpool deserve the PL title Dimitar Berbatov says Liverpool deserve to be crowned championsGetty Images Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov said their traditional foes Liverpool deserve to be crowned Premier League champions and it would be unfair on the Anfield side if the season cannot be completed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The point in west London was just the 10th Marcelo Bielsa's side have collected from a possible 33, a wrenched run that meant Brentford could have moved above them and into second themselves with victory. Thomas Frank's Bees had been 16 points and eight places adrift of the Yorkshire club when they returned to the top of the table after recording a seventh successive league win on 10 December. A share of the spoils now leaves Brentford two points and two places adrift of Leeds after they moved above Nottingham Forest, who were upstaged at home by Charlton.
Graham Potter has done an excellent job since taking charge on the south coast, and Brighton’s four point cushion on the drop zone is testament to that. However, Saturday could see his rather limited squad starved of opportunities against the well organised Palace defence, and that tips the scales in the hosts’ favour.
Beitar Jerusalem is currently playing in a good form. The home team has 49 points and ranks 3rd in the rankings. They only brought 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Jadon SanchoGetty Images Paper Round’s view: With Chelsea on course for the Champions League, the club can maybe afford to take the long view and not rush into anything. A short term deal could help spread the load and help the younger players as they get into the business end of the season, but there is no obvious target for Lampard who would be able to come in temporarily.
Serbia are the favourites to win this particular quarter final and of course have Novak Djokovic in their team. He's been in top form so far this week winning both of his matches in straight sets. That helped the Serbs to a 3-0 win over Japan and then a 2-1 victory over last year's finalists France. Filip Krajinovic has also won both of his singles this week.
The measures have been taken to ensure the club's "long-term sustainability". Coronavirus: What is your club saying?Kilmarnock owner Billy Bowie added: "We have taken the time to properly assess the situation, including detailed discussions with PFA Scotland, and have made every effort to ensure that we do the right thing by our players as well as our loyal staff. We have been blown away by the support of our fans during these tough times and we look forward to a day when we will be able to safely return to watching football together at Rugby Park.
As they look to better that run, they will probably want to look at their run of just two defeats in the last 13 matches across all competitions, as motivation. They have not scored in the last four league matches, another area they will want to work on but playing at home where they have two straight league clean sheets will be a boost.
That was 60 years ago today. Queuing around the block & the not-so-Blond ArrowWe can all recall the outline of the story. How a teenage Alex Ferguson was wowed by Real. How Billy McNeill and other soon-to-be-Lisbon-Lions were also in the crowd, every bit as gobsmacked as Ferguson, who knew a bit about Eintracht having watched them obliterate Rangers in the semi-finals. They had won won 6-1 in Frankfurt and 6-3 in Glasgow.
Van Basten apologised later in the programme while Fox said in a statement on Monday that the comment was "stupid and inappropriate" and that it had suspended the three-times Ballon d'Or winner until December 7. The channel added that Van Basten's wages for the week would be donated to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.
Sassuolo come into this one with huge problems in defence, conceding twice in five of their last six matches in all competitions. Meanwhile, they’ve Sassuolo have lost four of their last five Serie A home matches, following that up with a home defeat in the cup this week. The Neroverdi have conceded twice or more in seven of their last nine, while Cagliari have scored twice in five of their last six matches.
Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores is set to be sacked after Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton, with the club's hierarchy meeting to decide his future. Sanchez Flores, in charge for the 2015-16 campaign, was only reappointed on 7 September, replacing Javi Gracia. But he failed to achieve an upturn in results with the club winning just one of his 10 league games in charge. They are bottom of the Premier League on eight points after 14 games and are six points from safety.
Onisilos Sotiras will host Othellos Athienou for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Sotiras have advantage at home stadium. Also, Sotiras is really better team at home. They are undefeated on the home field. However, in previous game Sotiras lost 3-0 against 3-0 against strong Ermis. Also, we have Othello's who's is also ambitious team. The visitors have the motivation to make a positive result. True, they have two consecutive losses. In any case, the visitors will in this game to try to provide a strong resistance. After all, this will be a very important match for both sides. My pick - Othellos to win.

Taunton and Hendon will face each other in the upcoming match in the Southern League South Division. Taunton this season have the following results: 15W, 6D and 7L. Meanwhile Hendon have 10W, 6D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Aston Villa’s home record actually looks quite good on the surface, but once you delve a little deeper it becomes worrying. They may have won three of their seven home games in the Premier League, but these all came against teams placed 14th or lower. In fact, they have only had to host one side currently in the top half of the table, and they lost that 2-1 against Liverpool.
When they went to meet club legend Xavi last Friday in Qatar, where he is manager of Al Sadd, they announced they were going to watch Dembele, who also just happened to be recovering from injury in the country. Xavi has been in charge of Qatari side Al Sadd since MayBut the meeting took place the day after the Spanish Super Cup defeat by Atletico and, despite the doubts for months about Valverde, there was a look of political improvisation about the encounter between Xavi and the club (chief executive Oscar Grau and sporting director Eric Abidal).
