Pep Guardiola says the scrapping of FA Cup replays could be the solution to football's crowded fixture schedule. The Manchester City boss has previously expressed his concern at the increasing demands placed on players. Saturday's FA Cup tie against Fulham will be City's 37th game of the season. The Carabao Cup and FA Cup will be played. But maybe we could cancel the replays, have less teams in the Championship or Premier League," said Guardiola.
If we look at their results, Portsmouth might not stand out as a team likely to be involved in a low-scoring game, though if we scratch beneath the surface and consider the efforts of the hosts, 'Under 2.5 Goals' stands out as a viable option.
Werner proud of Liverpool links Fresh from scoring the winning goal of the game against Tottenham Hotspur for RB Leipzig, Timo Werner said he was “proud” to hear of links between himself and Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Al Thani could not immediately be reached for comment and Malaga did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Arminia Bielefeld will against Osnabruck in match Germany Bundesliga 2. My prediction this match could be the won for Arminia Bielefeld with margin score is 2 goals. Arminia Bielefeld have great result on last 5 match in league due to Arminia Bielefeld have won in 4 match and 1 match is draw. Meanwhile, Osnabruck have not good result on last 5 match in league due to Osnabruck only have draw in 2 match and 3 match is lose. Therefore, I think that Arminia Bielefeld can beat Osnabruck on this match due to Arminia Bielefeld more strong in every home match. Beside that Arminia Bielefeld have yet lose on last 4 match in the home.

LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Manchester United's 2-0 win at Chelsea on Monday blew open the race for the Premier League's fourth Champions League qualifying spot, in contrast to the one-horse race for the title which Liverpool seem sure to win. Both coaches, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard, said getting into the Champions League was their focus with almost a third of the season left to play.
So it is complicated. You have to dominate every aspect of the game. For their part, Chelsea are looking for a striker, and while Edinson Cavani’s transfer request at PSG seemed to be broadly designed to force through a move to Atletico Madrid, there is still some 2+2=5 logic to suggest that he could move to Stamford Bridge instead.

Istiqlol Dushanbe will against CSKA Pomir in match Tajikistan Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Istiqlol Dushanbe can beat FK Dushanbe 83 with fantastic score that is 0-7. Meanwhile CSKA Pamir on last match in league has just beaten from Khujand with score 1-3. Therefore, I think this match could be much score from Istiqlol Dushanbe due to Istiqlol Dushanbe very strong and have more confidence in every home match. Moreover on last match can make score is 7 goals. Surely this match will the end score is over 2.5 goals.

Ebony Salmon – Bristol City It was going to take something special if Bristol City were going to get their first victory of the season away at Manchester United, and that's exactly what Ebony Salmon produced in their 1-0 win at Leigh Sports Village. The 18-year-old had her back to goal on the left-wing when she received the ball, but she soon left England international Abbie McManus for dead, before marauding into the area to fire past Mary Earps in the hosts' net.
The Reds cannot afford to lose in Austria, a result that would likely see the defending champions knocked out of Europe's premier club competition in the group stages. Liverpool are now 11 points clear in the Premier League with Leicester and Manchester City still to play this weekend but the Anfield boss knows there is important work to come and the title is far from won.
Rooney 'more than welcome'Midfielder Krystian Bielik, sent off in Monday's 2-1 win against Charlton Athletic, and winger Tom Lawrence are both suspended. It took the first two professional goals of 18-year-old Jason Knight's career for Derby to earn victory against the Addicks. And, with the availability of Jayden Bogle uncertain as the defender recovers from an eye infection, Rams boss Cocu readily admits that it is a "good moment" for Rooney to be available.
On the pitch Portsmouth are pushing for promotion so for sporting reasons obviously want to continue playing but off the field there are reasons too: having to refund 14,500 season ticket holders for missed games would be a huge expense. At least if matches could continue behind closed doors those fans could be offered free streams and possible discounts for next season. What makes sense financially for smaller clubs may not work for others.

England striker Ellen White says she still "can't stand video assistant referees" after having a goal ruled out in the World Cup semi-final defeat by the USA last summer. White thought she had equalised to make it 2-2 in the second half before VAR deemed her to be marginally offside. USA went on to win 2-1 after Steph Houghton had a late penalty saved and centre-back Millie Bright was sent off. I do sit at home and think 'ahh, I just can't stand VAR!'," said White.

Torino still has the opportunity to compete for the European Cup next season, only 4 points behind the Top 6. Tonight they will welcome Atlanta, the team is ranked 5th. However, Torino's home form is not really good as they have only 4 wins at Olimpico this season. Meanwhile, Atlanta just had to receive a surprising defeat against Spal in round 20 of Serie A. Now they need to prove that the last loss is an accident. Atalanta's away form in recent rounds is not good as they only won 1 of 6 times away from the nearest home. However, Atlanta is still the team with the best attack in Serie A this season with 50 goals.

Europe rejoiced at the news of City's ban and Pep Guardiola will try to use this to his advantage. He'll try to mould his City players into viewing this season as an us-against-the-world mission. If this tactic works, West Ham could be on the receiving end of a huge hiding. We think that the smart money is on City to win with a minus-three handicap.
