For his part he managed to plant the idea of City’s ‘tactical fouling’ without directly accusing them of tactical fouling, which was quite nicely done. We got past their press last time and, if you count the numbers of fouls, I don’t think there were too many,” said Solskjær. That’s a big thing and sometimes I look at the referees and I look at our games and, even if they are just little fouls, there have been teams who have stopped us with these little fouls – which has stopped us showing how good we are when we attack.
Guardiola knows he must earn contract Pep Guardiola has admitted that he is under pressure when it comes to earning a new contract at Manchester City. He has 18 months left on his current deal and is yet to commit to an extended stay.

Cavalier will host Tivoli Gardens for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Perhaps, Cavalier are more ambitious team in this campaign. They have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. However, the hosts have highly variable results. I believe, they are not convincing team. In previous game Cavalier lost 2-1 against Portmore. Also, we have Tivoli Gardens who's is one of the outsiders in this season. However, the visitors have the motivation to change their position because they are constantly closer to the relegation zone. Also, they have two consecutive victories. In any case, Tivoli will try to make a positive result. They will be in this game to try to pick up all three points.
The delaying of Euro 2020 by a year provided the Premier League with greater flexibility in which to fit in fixtures. But there remains a time pressure imposed by issues with players' contracts, many of which run out on 30 June, and the scheduled start of the 2020-21 season in August. There is also a financial incentive to resume playing, with the threat of an increased or restructured rebate to TV companies if fixtures are not completed.

Brighton have had mixed results and sit 15th, without a win since late December, but Wilder knows the south coast club will be difficult opponents.

Deportivo Las Sabanas will host Jalapa for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. However, this will not be an easy task. Jalapa are currently on the 5th place with 21 points. However, they have highly variable results. In previous game Jalapa lost 0-1 against Chinandega. Also, we have Sabanas who's is one of the main outsiders in this season. Hosts have a very vulnerable defense. However, they will try to make a positive result. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. My pick - Sabanas to win.
Jeonbuk won on opening round with 1-0 at home against a very defensive Suwon their only goal coming after the 80 minute of the game while playing 11 vs 10 men but they dominated the entire game and it was a goal coming after a well taken corner kick and the header provided by their striker who came from the bench have no chance to the Suwon keeper. This while in round 2 they played away from home at newly promoted Busan, they took the lead but instead of increasing their advantage opted to defend and paid the price conceding from the penalty kick.
It is easy to see why Lampard looked discontented at the failure to land a striker in the January transfer window, with Batshuayi demonstrating exactly why he has spent so much of his Chelsea career on the margins of the action. The Belgian is not a natural taker of goals when presented with time. He is instinctive and he was not flavour of the month here with two crucial misses, and received a flea in his ear from Chelsea's supporters before he was replaced by Olivier Giroud.

Well of course, I'd like to say that as soon as he gets fit, he'll be good enough to play for the team. I'm sure Paul's desperate to play for us again," said the Norwegian.
