The 24-year-old Germany international damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in City's Community Shield victory over Liverpool in August and underwent surgery. Guardiola said that the pacy midfielder, who has been linked by the German media with a switch to Bayern Munich at the end of the current campaign, was making good progress.
A survey by research institute Infratest dimap, carried out on behalf of broadcaster DW in late April, revealed 49% of Germans were against the continuation of the season. The fear was that players and staff would get infected and that the Bundesliga could potentially contribute to a second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The hygiene concept does not work. The effect will be disastrous," predicted Karl Lauterbach, a health expert representing the Social Democrats in Germany's national parliament.
They were unlucky to lose to Newcastle last time out and they have looked like a different team in recent weeks. Danny Ings cannot stop scoring at the moment, which is handy for them. Lawro's prediction: 2-1David's prediction: I have a romantic thing for Southampton because I was obsessed by Saints legend Matthew Le Tissier back in the 1990s. I do know he is not playing for them anymore but I have always quite liked them because of that.

I don't see why this match from Portugese elite league can not bring at least two goals and with a little luck and more than that, it is clear. So, Porto is great team but their defense is problematic and they are really receiving too many goals and that is main problem. Benfica is for me better team and they are still closer to win here. I will bet on goals and I will enjoy in this duel, really. I see here 2-1 win for one of two biggest rivals in this league. If Benfica wins, they will be very close to the new title.
Sol Campbell may have had to bide his time before getting into football management, but his performance at cash strapped Macclesfield Town in League Two last season clearly showed that he has a talent and, although the financial restraints eventually led to him leaving the club, it was not long before he was back in demand.
Sadio Mane's goal restored Liverpool's 13-point lead over Leicester City at the top of the table but it was only confirmed after a lengthy VAR review to check for a possible handball by Adam Lallana in the build-up. We're in December and coming into January. Players standing around that long is not good," Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp said.
But whether De Bruyne sees his future in Manchester or not is arguably just as important to City's success. The Belgian has enjoyed yet another stellar season, registering 16 assists and eight goals - the most of any player in the Premier League this campaign. He was close to his brilliant best tonight, driving forward effortlessly, exploiting space in the West Ham defence and midfield and generally causing mayhem.
Plenty of noise, and all from clubs with something to lose. Media playback is not supported on this device 'You wouldn't award Usain Bolt the gold medal after 75m' Movement in the shadows - ThursdayA day of relative calm, publicly at least. Livingston, Hibernian, Ayr United and Raith all stated their backing for the proposal and the Scottish Football Association announced that football would remain suspended until at least 10 June.
He's not a full-back. He has a lot of courage to make decisions in the final third. I'm very pleased with his performance. Last season's finalists now take a seemingly healthy advantage back to the Emirates for the second leg with a lead and an away goal as they look to make amends for last season's disappointment.
It added: "They [Lukaku and Smalling] have learned how to respect each other. They have taken strong stances against racism. Rogers said: "Unfortunately, as we've seen on social media, more people will see that ill-judged headline on the front page than read the actual article and it creates new issues at a time when we are all trying to tackle the issue of racism in Italian football. Corriere dello Sport has been asked by BBC Sport for a comment.
Today is going to be a very exciting football match in Argentina : Dep. Riestra vs Villa Dalmine. Both teams have played recently with results to follow, so the outcome of this game can be unpredictable. However, I find it interesting to place a bet: over 2 goals.
The first save of the game, and it comes at the end you wouldn't have expected. Triple Chelsea chance! Kovacic lets fly with a low drive that Martin saves but fumbles, Martin gets up and saves the rebound from Giroud and the second follow-up from Pedro. Giroud was actually offside, but Martin didn't know that - great goalkeeping! 48' GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 West Ham - Cresswell scores! Well, well, well.
But there's much more to his game and he hardly put a foot wrong all day in defence. KEY MOMENTS 22' - GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Man City: Sterling breaks the deadlock with his 15th goal of the season. It's a soft goal to concede from Newcastle's point of view. The ball takes a number of ricochets, David Silva then backheels it into the path of Sterling who places it past the helpless Dubravka with a composed finish.
The Serie A statement said that fans "sang a chorus of racial discrimination against a player of the opposing team in the 21st and 29th minutes of the first half" as well as other insults. Mario Balotelli (Brescia) Getty Images It said the referee interrupted the match after half an hour and an announcement was made asking for the chanting to stop.
Real is coming to meet the team with very weak recent form, which is having all defeats in the season in the previous five matches. Numancia could not even beat some of their rivals here, when had red card and player less on the pitch, and they come to the near of the bottom of the league table.

Marcus Rashford says Manchester United are only showing "half of what we can do" following their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg defeat on Tuesday. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side lost 3-1 to rivals Manchester City and have now lost seven of their past 10 home matches against their local rivals. United have lost two and drawn one of their three fixtures in 2020. We need to keep fighting to find that extra percentage that will win us games," Rashford, 22, said.
Shockingly returned as sweeper at the age of 39 in 2000 but probably shouldn't have bothered. Germany were terrible. Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic) - 12 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 1996, 2000, 2004. Best finish: Runner-up (1996)Almost unrecognisable now, the then short-haired Nedved excelled on the left of midfield at Euro 96 and was one of the best in the world by the time Euro 2004 rolled around.
And when Davies was beaten soon after, Thompson was in support on the goal-line to block a low shot from Grabban. Forest's Joe Lolley is consoled by James McClean at full-timeThose misses proved costly, as centre-back Batth met a Thompson cross at the far post to nod the Potters ahead. And still, Forest continued to create the better chances and should have been level just after the half-hour mark when Lolley ran through clear on goal.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo had never beaten his compatriot Mourinho in three attempts but only six points adrift of the top-four before kick-off, his side would rarely have greater incentive. They found themselves level in the 27th-minute through Matt Doherty who pounced after Japhet Tanganga failed to clear.
Zorya is in 3rd place with 43 points while Shakhtar is in 1st place with 59 points. Shakhtar seems that they have won the title but Zorya is still in the battle for 2nd place. Dynamo Kiev is in 2nd place with 45 points and they are near Zorya and I expect from Zorya a good game here to remain in the race for second place that means Champions League qualification. More motivated I see the home team while Shakhtar even with a draw will be ok. Maybe Zorya will try to win this match however against a team like Shakhtar and despite the distance from second place Shakhtar I think wants a positive result here.
We were mature and patient and we did it well. We did not lose our cool," coach Nagelsmann said, praising his players just weeks after questioning their commitment in the league. Nagelsmann had played down Leipzig's title chances saying even a Champions League spot would be a success, though his team is in second place in the Bundesliga on 45 points, just one behind Bayern.
Marco Reus had given the visitors the lead, with Thorgan Hazard also scoring as Dortmund remain third in the table. Sancho, who last failed to score in a club game on 9 November, has now scored 21 Bundesliga goals in his career. Only two players - Horst Koppel and Kai Havertz with 24 each - have ever scored more as teenagers.
Tampines Rovers were impressive in offense last season. They have scored 52 goals in 24 games played in the Premier League in Singapore. They have combined 15 goals in the latest 4 head-to-head matches played against Home United in all competitions so I expect Tampines to dominate again.
Middlesbrough go to this game placed 20th in the Championship with 37 points while Leeds are second with 62 points. In their last 10 matches, Middlesbrough have not won any; their last win came on New Year’s Day, against Preston, which capped a run of four straight wins. They have dropped 20 points from the eight Championship matches played since, and have no clean sheet in their last 10 matches too.
Olympiakos Piraeus have been in great form recently with 4 wins and 1 draw. They have scored 13 goals and conceded 3 goals in the last 5 league matches. On the road Olympiakos have managed to win 3 and draw 2 of their last 5 league games.
The only game that they didn't win was a home draw against Galatasaray, a respectable result against one of Turkey's traditional powerhouses. Konyaspor's June could have gone better. They were winless in three games, but, silver lining outlook, they only lost one of those outings. Their first game of July was a win over fellow strugglers Rizespor, who are a point and a place behind them in the table.
Former Hull City boss Silva succeeded Sam Allardyce at Goodison Park. He was brought in with the hope of his side playing more attractive football and backed with almost £90m of signings in the summer of 2018. Everton finished eighth in Silva's first campaign but, after spending more than £100m on players in the summer, they have won just four league games this season. The Toffees face a tricky run of league fixtures over the next month when they face Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City, and also Leicester in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Dortmund managed to work their way back into the match, with the excellent Jadon Sancho rifling in a fantastic effort from 25 yards to pull one back. And he almost had a second but for a wonderful save by Marc-Andre ter-Stegen that prevented a thrilling finale. Barcelona go through as group winners, while Inter Milan - 3-1 winners against Slavia Prague tonight - leapfrog Dortmund into second place.
Offensively, against United, City had 22 shots at goal, and almost 72% possession but, as has been the case for much of the season, it was defensive problems that undid them. Every attack from United, especially in the first half, looked like ending in a goal. Other than their two goals, one a penalty from Marcus Rashford and the other a smart finish by Anthony Martial, United could, and probably should, have had more.
Risky you might think for a Faroe Islands result, maybe yes but with value and numbers to back this up, the price for this under should be as low as 1,66, it's true. The last two results between these two at TB's stadium were 0 x 1 and the last one 1 x 0. It's a shame we don't have both to score market for this one as I think TB is not scoring and the match will probably end 0 x 1 or 0 x 2. Both Teams lost their first matches and will be keen on bringing their 1st points home
Chelsea are third in Group H with eight points -- the same as second-placed Valencia and two points behind leaders Ajax Amsterdam -- having been unbeaten away, but the London side have picked up only one point in two European home games this season. Lampard's side can qualify for the last 16 with a win over Lille or a draw if Ajax beat Valencia.
It is someone different every week - Alisson was outstanding against Monterrey for example. They are all competing with each other as well as working together and, of course, the important thing is that - when it really matters - they always produce something special. That's why I am so confident they will beat Flamengo on Saturday. I just cannot see anyone stopping this Liverpool team at the moment.
Roberto Gagliardini and 17-year-old Sebastiano Esposito were also on target as Inter pulled level with Juventus on 42 points from 17 games. Inter lead with the better goal difference although if teams finish the season level on points, the head-to-head rule is used. The win was a relief for Inter, who had drawn their last two league matches and been knocked out of the Champions League with a home defeat by Barcelona in between.
Brescia come into this clash in awful form with six defeats in seven overall. The bottom side have been beaten in four of their last five away trips and they have shipped 11 goals in a four-game losing run in Serie A. While they have a solid team with creativity and goals, they just aren’t matching up to their fellow top-flight sides.

They travel to Los Angeles FC for their debut match and their President, David Beckham will be hoping to see his team get off to a good start. They are managed by Diego Alonso from Uruguay who has previously managed Monterrey to the CONCACAF Champions League title. This new side doesn't have that many star players but their squad comes from 11 different nationalities.

The 25-year-old damaged his cartilage and lateral meniscus in a challenge with Brighton & Hove Albion's Adam Webster and had surgery in September but is now back training on grass on his own. Third-placed City, who failed to replace Vincent Kompany in the close season, have struggled during Laporte's absence with fellow central defender John Stones also battling injuries, and the side are 14 points behind leaders Liverpool.
The performance of the referee was like my team, not so good," said Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti. Straightaway we said no penalty," said MOTD pundit Cahill. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he cannot leave Mason Greenwood out of his team after the teenager scored for the third straight Premier League game. The English forward, 18, took his tally to 16 for the campaign by netting in United's 3-0 victory at Aston Villa.

in this game I expect goals on both sides because draw is really not an option for any of this teams and reason for that are more than clear, las sabanas on one side are on last spot on the table and they are struggling to beat anyone but tonight they have a good chance cause on the other hand Juventus Managua is not in a good shape at all and they also don't have a win on the road for the entire season, yet Juventus Managua beat las sabanas with 5-0 a month ago so I expect from them to score for sure
Jay Rodriguez scored twice against Peterborough as Burnley cruised into the FA Cup fourth round. He tapped in from close range to open the scoring before Erik Pieters made it two with a 25-yard half-volley. Jeff Hendrick scored Burnley's third inside 23 minutes with the help of a deflection, before Ivan Toney pulled a goal back for Posh before half-time.
The Cottagers may be the favourites for this one, but they are going through a tough spell of late. They are fresh from a 2-1 home defeat to Reading, their fourth loss in seven matches. That bad run is partly down to injuries, with manager Scott Parker suffering a real blow in midfield. That has left his side struggling as they start 2020.
Strike partner Wilson shoved Soyuncu as the pair tussled to collect the ball from the net and the Foxes defender was shown a straight red card for kicking out. From there, Bournemouth were relentless as Leicester fell apart. Evans could do little to stop Stanislas' effort deflecting off his ankle and wrong-footing Schmeichel, before Solanke added his second after some smart footwork late on. The Cherries remain three points behind Watford and West Ham, who face each other next, but their first win since February keeps Howe's side in the fight.

I believe that this match from Turkey Super league will surely bring to us at least three goals and maybe even more than that. Home team or Galatasaray in this moment is playing at home solid, 3-2-1 and they are surely closer to win. But Alanyaspor is very dangerous rival and this team is in last round won at home even 5-a against Adanaspor. I believe in very interesting duel in Istanbul today and I believe in at least three goals in this duel, even this rivals are in last official duel played just 1-1. Now, probably will not be like that.
The appointment of Jose Mourinho looked unwise when Tottenham announced that he was to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as manager. At the time of writing, it hasn't paid any dividends. We see no signs that it will - not this season, at least. It appears as though Spurs are set to lose to German opposition for the fourth time this season. Back Leipzig to win by two clear goals.
