Aston Villa have signed former Liverpool and Spain goalkeeper Pepe Reina on loan from AC Milan for the rest of the season. The World Cup winner, 37, was in the stands as Villa lost 6-1 to Manchester City on Sunday. Villa needed to add to their goalkeeping options after England international Tom Heaton was ruled out for the remainder of the season. The 33-year-old suffered a knee injury on 1 January.
The Italian will be able to take charge of Everton's weekend match when Arsenal visit Goodison Park, potentially under the new management of Mikel Arteta. Ancelotti reached an agreement in principle to become Marco Silva's successor on Monday following talks on Merseyside. Everton have confirmed that caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson - who has four points from matches against Chelsea and Manchester United - will continue for their Carabao Cup quarter-final against Leicester on Wednesday.

It won’t get voided now. Liverpool will be champions, Champions League places will be decided, together with relegation and promotion. English football suspension extended until at least April 30 BREAKING NEWS: English football will be suspended until at least April 30 because of the ongoing spread of the coronavirus, the Premier League, English Football League and Football Association have just announced.
Lokomotiv Moscow's opening day win over Bayer Leverkusen in the reverse fixture is what separates the two sides at the moment but since then the Russian's haven't enjoyed a successful campaign with two losses against Juventus and a 2-0 defeat at home to Atletico. They've been averaged four shots on target in that time but only scored twice in what has been a disappointing run.
With the senior squad thousands of miles away in Qatar getting ready for their Club World Cup opener, it was left to the youngest-ever Liverpool starting XI to shock Villa at Villa Park, but after a positive start, two freak goals saw the visitors 2-0 down inside 17 minutes. See alsoAston Villa v Liverpool - LIVE League Cup updates Liverpool continued to impress in attack, but at the back, they looked vulnerable, and Jonathan Kodjia capitalised on further slack defending to score his first Villa goal since May to make it three in the 37th minute, before slotting home his second just before half time.
Although he carries a statesmanlike appearance on the touchline, he leads training at the club's Finch Farm complex, complete with cap and whistle, alongside assistants Davide, also his son, and Duncan Ferguson. Sessions are short and sharp in contrast to the more long-winded fare under Silva, which players became tired of. And there is a less regimented feel with players not forced to eat at specific times.

Main reason for taking the DNB on the guests is the fact that Holstein Kiel has an away record of 6-2-5 so far this season, the 2nd most successful away club in the league and if they were a better home side as they really won just 3 games at home and even lost to Regensburg at home 2-1 in the first part of this season they would be in the fight for promotion like they were last season for example. They have 34 points sitting in the middle of the league table and need to be careful not to get close to the relegation zone currently 9 points away.
Meanwhile, this trip to the Estadio Do Dragao is likely to mark the end of Varzim's Taca de Portugal campaign but the visitors will be trying to secure the most unlikely of wins. Currently 4th in the second tier, Varzim are having a pretty strong season but a trip to Porto represents a huge step up in quality and there can be no doubting the side are huge underdogs.
The hosts are one of the best away clubs in the league and it is the reason why they are not involved in the fight for avoiding relegation at this moment as at home they are really poor the weakest home team in the league with a record of 0-3-5 in home games and 14 goals conceded at the same time while in their last 7 home games they have 5 losses and 4 of those losses ended with over 2.5 goals as well, but they did defeat Al Nahda with 4-1 on the road at the start of this season.
Preston North End ended a run of four consecutive Championship defeats as they beat Fulham in a game which saw both sides reduced to 10 men. Sean Maguire put the hosts ahead from close range, before Fulham's Denis Odoi was dismissed soon after for an elbow on Patrick Bauer. Preston were shown a red card of their own just before the break when Joe Rafferty was sent off for a bad tackle on Joe Bryan.
There have been 1.5 goals scored in all of Celtic's home games as well as in all of Hibs' away days, and there's no reason why this won't happen again. However, the hosts' firepower up front- namely their 3.63 goals on average at home- will more than likely be too much for a Hibs side that has failed to keep a clean sheet on the road this season. We think there's value in Celtic -2, as they have won by a margin of two goals in seven of their eight games in Glasgow. We're also going for a 3-1 win for the Hoops, as we feel the visitors will be able to keep up with their scoring trend on the road- where they've netted an average of 1.25 goals this season and have done so in their last five fixtures.
It's great to have him on my side. One player whose form dipped under Pochettino is 23-year-old Dele Alli, who has struggled to secure a starting spot at Spurs and has lost his place in the England squad, albeit after a series of injuries that have hampered his progress. Mourinho knows he must work hard with the midfielder to return him to his best ahead of England's Euro 2020 campaign.
Tonight’s games feature two of the key ingredients that make top-level football these days entertaining: big, powerful clubs, and peril. To summarise: Liverpool need a point to secure qualification for the second phase, as defeat to Red Bull Salzburg would see them depart to their fizzy pop-fuelled opponents; Chelsea have to beat Lille to go through, otherwise they are relying on Ajax to do them a favour against Valencia; Borussia Dortmund and Inter are level on points and duking it out for the second spot in their group with the latter hosting Barcelona and the former facing Slavia Prague; and then there’s Group G, which could see any combination of RB Leipzig, Zenit St Petersburg and Lyon qualify.
Despite a roster that features Iniesta and Thomas Vermaelen alongside Japan internationals Hotaru Yamaguchi and Gotoku Sakai, the unpredictable nature of the Japanese league means the eventual outcome remains anyone's guess. What I've learned from the J-League is that there are always surprising results," said former Barcelona defender Vermaelen, who joined Kobe in July.
Patryk Klimala is in Glasgow as he is set to finalise his move to Celtic from Polish side Jagiellonia Bialystok. The striker, 21, arrived in Scotland on Sunday night with a view to signing a reported four-and-a-half-year deal with the Scottish champions. Capped five times for Poland Under-21s, Klimala has scored seven goals in 17 games this season for Bialystok. Speaking outside Celtic Park on Monday, Klimala told STV he was "excited" about the potential move.

Zinedine Zidane's side took the lead early in the second half with a deflected distance shot from midfielder Valverde and extended their advantage in the 67th minute when Modric thrashed a bouncing ball home from inside the area. The Croatian's goal came from a cross from substitute Gareth Bale, who was given a mixed reception after irking Real supporters for celebrating Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 with a flag illustrated with the words 'Wales.
Ljungberg can hardly shoulder the blame though. Arsenal are a club in crisis right now, looking back on a record of one win from their last eight Premier League games and finding themselves down in 9th position as we approach the halfway point. The Gunners have won just five league games this season, and all of those came against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.
Eight matches in 30 days may seem a regular occurrence but only 4% of players across a season are subjected to such a run of games. It is not just the congestion of the fixture list that poses a concern, but the time provided for teams to transition from individual, socially distanced training to higher-intensity group training, something Watford manager Nigel Pearson and Newcastle boss Steve Bruce are concerned about.

Both players are doing well and are in good shape but for this match I see Smolevichy I is better and I think that they may will win this match 2:0. Odd for this pick is 1.90. BATE in the last 5 matches they won 3 times. The home team is in bad shape. Both teams are doing well and are in good shape but for this match I see Bate is better and I think that they may will win this match 2:0
Led by the impressive Youri Tielemans, who orchestrated Leicester's midfield to out-manoeuvre the visitors, the 2016 Premier League champions could have been further ahead before the break but for Henderson thwarting both Vardy and Perez. Having bossed the first half, they were then forced to play on the counter attack after the break following a triple half-time substitution by Wilder.
Great fun. HAT TIP "The quintessential Toni Kroos moment arrives before he does. He sends a text, apologising that he’ll be 11 minutes late. It’s all there, in that one line: the typically German concern with punctuality and good manners, the precision. ETA in 11 minutes. Not ten, not 15. Above all, the unhurriedness.
They had the ability, confidence and determination, and we beat them. We were self-confident but not over-confident. We had players who could win the game on their own and Jock covered every inch and every player; he was very special. We knew that Feyenoord were a good team with individuals who could stamp their authority on a game, but they turned out to be a better team than we thought they were and they were the better team on the night.
Vikingur and NSI Runavik were the teams playing a high scoring football in the previous season in the league. Vikingur took the 5th place last season, they were averaging almost two goals per game. Still they have allowed 35 goals in 27 matches. Runavik were impressive in offense with 65 goals in 27 matches played and they were conceding more than once per match on average.
With Barcelona top of La Liga on the day Valverde made way for Setien, the new head coach finds himself immediately in a precarious position. It’s a privileged one, certainly, but Setien must maintain this position as he looks to implement his style and methods on Barcelona’s squad. Quique Setién BarcelonaEurosport Such pressure is ordinary at a club of Barcelona’s stature, but it increases given Setien’s lack of silverware before taking the hotseat.
Lazio return to action today against Atlanta ,and I must say these two are my favorite teams in serie A. Atalanta thrashed Sassuolo in their last game, I expect them to be match fitter than Lazio who have not played any game.
Bournemouth, at their best, are pleasing on the eye and can pull off the occasional shock as they did in winning at Chelsea in December, but too often they are simply too soft and too easy to score against. And in their first game since the resumption of the Premier League, Bournemouth looked the same old side, one destined for relegation. Howe has had long enough to solve the issues Bournemouth have faced but this game once again illustrated the problems he has failed to solve.
This loss was Chelsea’s second in four matches and another high scoring outcome involving their matches. In the last four matches, Chelsea’s matches have produced three goals or more and they have just one clean sheet. However, they will be glad to play at home, where they have won each of the last four and kept three clean sheets in the process.
Arsenal secured Mikel Arteta just his second league win since taking over at the Emirates with a 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle on Sunday. The hosts were laboured in the first half, but looked like a different side after the break, with top goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubmeyang heading Arsenal into the lead in the 54th minute.
The position I was in this time last year, I was in my first few weeks where I had chemotherapy, I wouldn't have thought, a year on, I'd be travelling with the first team," Taylor told the club's website https://www. It doesn't matter what the environment is like, just being out there is massive. It's been a dream since I can remember ever kicking a ball -- being a United first-team player.

While the Cobblers largely have their home form to thank for this impressive run, it is not as if they have been particularly poor on the road and their three wins from their last five outings means that they come into this match with plenty of confidence in their ability to keep this run going a little longer yet.
If you go to Canada, to America, you have to change. You can't even swear," Brannigan says. For a guy like me, not to swear when you're teaching is so difficult after going through your whole life swearing at players. I'm from Bridgeton, but I've not lived there in 20 years. I've seen all the wonders of the world doing what I do for a living. So for a young boy who couldn't afford a pair of football boots to doing what I do, the difference.
What can we expect this time? Well, at the very least it’s interesting that City have been experimenting with a different formation recently, a three-at-the-back system which seems ostensibly designed to stop a counter-attack, which is how United won that game a few weeks ago. Has Pep Guardiola really altered his entire side in order to prevent a repeast of that embarrassment? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is, in the general collective consciousness, not a tactical genius, but he does occasionally pull these things out of the bag.
The league's hygiene protocol recommends physical distancing as much as possible when the ball is not rolling. That has made for some awkward moments when players, seconds after they had close body-to-body contact with their opponents, were asked to stay apart from each other and only tap elbows to celebrate a goal. Players need to respect clear guidelines' - KleinHertha Berlin were the first team to throw caution out the window when, on the first matchday after the break, they celebrated their goals against Hoffenheim with hugging, high fiving, and shoulder tapping, causing concern among political decision-makers about how disciplined the players could be.

With just one victory from their last seven matches, the Eagles' paltry win return looks worrying at first glance, though Palace have also lost just two of their last nine in all competitions and just once in eight in the Premier League.
We were annoyed but we quickly let it go. We changed focus quickly towards tomorrow's match," said Ten Hag. A win would ensure top place in the group for Ajax, who have 10 points from five games, but a draw could see them usurped by Chelsea and finish second. Defeat to Valencia could even see last year's semi-finalists exit the competition, should Chelsea beat Lille in the other group match.
Born in 1996 to a military father, Ndidi grew up in a Lagos barracks. Discipline and education were the priority while football was a passion his father frowned upon. Any time my dad went to work I would go and play," Ndidi said in an interview with BBC World Service. I would then get the signal that he was coming and go back to what I was doing, so he didn't know I'd been playing. I got caught several times but was still going.
We feel that a high scoring game is very much on the cards here. Dortmund have scored at least three goals in their last three Bundesliga games. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim have scored in each of their last 10 Bundesliga games. We feel that a 3-1 win for Dortmund is a likely outcome of this fixture.
On the prospect of the club taking action against Dier, Mourinho said: "If the club does that I will not agree, but he did wrong. The incident happened in the area behind the dugouts, which is a corporate section, and Mourinho criticised it for not housing "real Tottenham fans". He added: "The people that are in these privileged positions by the tunnel, of course some are Tottenham fans. But I think a lot of corporate, a lot of invitation, a lot of people with special status [are in there] and probably it is the place of the stadium where I sometimes have doubts over if they are the real Tottenham fans, because these [real fans] are the ones who support the boys until the last.
