Chelsea have staked a lot on Timo Werner. With the transfer fee, the agent fee and wages over the course of his five-year deal, the Germany international striker's move from RB Leipzig will cost the Blues in the region of £102. So what will Chelsea be getting for their investment? Why did a move to Liverpool never materialise? And how will he fit into Frank Lampard's side? The Liverpool deal that never happenedWerner was linked with a move to Liverpool for months.
Both teams could do with a win from this game. Brighton haven’t won all year and although draws earn points, some three-pointers will do their survival hopes the power of good. Home form isn’t as good as it was in the early part of the season and they fall behind too many times. Palace had a much needed win last weekend and will want to build on that. Away form isn’t great though and the tip here is for this game to end in a draw with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Meanwhile, Juventus have shown real progression as a team, building a side who can share out the goals. That’s clearly a key part of Maurizio Sarri’s plan, as the Italian boss was reportedly unhappy with Chelsea’s reliance on Eden Hazard last term. His new side have had eight different scorers in this season's UEFA Champions League – already twice as many as they had last season when they reached the quarter-final.
Herediano is big favorite at this pitch, since they are one of the top league clubs, while U C R is fighting relegation in the competition. UCR is having the worst form and the defense with the most goals conceded in the season. They are having a lot of issues in the back, and cannot keep their net even with one goal per game.
Posted at 60' Corner, Real Betis. Conceded by Luka Modric. Chelsea have been surrounded by many new questions this season, but in Sunday's 4-0 thrashing of Everton, the answers - once again - seem to have come from within. The latest academy graduate to make his mark was Billy Gilmour, who backed up his impressive display in the FA Cup win over Liverpool with a first Premier League start that had Stamford Bridge purring.
Deportivo Ocotal have lost 3 matches in a row but at home they are no easy team to defeat with only 2 defeats in the last 10 games. And in 5 of the last 8 matches at home they have kept a clean sheet.

Guardiola: Rodgers has made Leicester title rivals Brendan Rodgers has made Leicester Premier League title rivals, says Pep Guardiola. While Guardiola's champions were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw at Newcastle United at the weekend, leaving them 11 points behind leaders Liverpool, Leicester secured a last-gasp 2-1 win over Everton the following day to cut the gap to eight.
We suffered in the second half and we only have ourselves to blame. We are in a situation when I have to think, think, think. I look to bench and we don't have attacking players. I had to take off Erik Lamela because of fatigue but we showed an incredible reaction to score a second goal. When Chelsea want to win they bring on Michy Batshuayi. When Manchester City want to change Gabriel Jesus they bring in Sergio Aguero.
The perfect situation would be for us to play against Villa tonight or tomorrow early, have three or four days before Leipzig. In fact Leipzig plays tomorrow afternoon so it's not the perfect situation for us to play on Sunday, but since 2004 I'm in this country I know how it works and I know we have no protection at all before the Champions League matches.
Jan Vertonghen tries a through ball, but Dele Alli is caught offside. Watford's remarkable revival under Nigel Pearson continued as they hung on with 10 men to beat Wolves and move a point from Premier League safety. The hosts looked to be cruising to a third win in four matches after they took a first-half lead through Gerard Deulofeu, who curled low into the bottom corner.
Revenue in football now is very important. Everton want their new stadium so they can improve that and be more competitive. For me, it could be good to be here when the new stadium will be open. Zlatan on the agenda?Ancelotti's status within the game means he will be linked with players previously felt to be beyond Everton. The latest is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer outfit LA Galaxy and whose proposed move to AC Milan has stalled.
There were fewer incidents in the second half although Aguero hobbled off and had to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus, with Pep Guardiola worried it is a bad muscle injury. Raheem Sterling thought he had scored a late third for City but it was ruled out by the video assistant referee in a very tight offside call. City only had 46.

Group G has the most swirling situation before the sixth round of the Europa League. All four teams have a chance of reaching the playoffs, so the “Rangers” and “Young Boys” will take the full-time confrontation very seriously. It’s very important for the Swiss to stay in European competition, because this is their business, this is their showcase. Where else to advertise your players who are for sale? But Stevie G has to prove his coaching level. In the first round, “Young Boys” beat the “Rangers” with a score of 2: 1 and that meeting was the first in the history of their confrontation. This time we again expect more than one goal, or even two. Both teams have tremendous attacking potential, so they will definitely go ahead to take the necessary three points. And who will win is another question. I advise you to put in this match on total over 2.5 goals
By Simon Evans and Martyn Herman HALIFAX/DARTFORD, England, March 14 (Reuters) - England's Premier League and 72-team Football League closed down on Saturday due to concerns over the coronavirus but clubs in the fifth tier and below defiantly took to the field -- to the delight of football addicts across the country.

Last match h2h was ended with minimal victory for Arsenal. My bet will be a draw here. We will know a winner in the next match. I recommend to try this bet with me for good odds.
While Dyche might look and sound like a managerial throw-back and he may share Bassett's loyalty to 4-4-2, he has long since made fools of those who would bracket him as the kind of old-school long-ball merchant who would write his starting XI on the back of fag packet. Former Burnley player Michael Kightly recently likened him to one of English football's finest managers, Brian Clough, citing the blunt simplicity of his message as a defining quality.
Media playback is not supported on this device Moyes wants to build 'something special' at West Ham Don't get me wrong, West Ham still have issues - but I am still not convinced by the Gunners, either.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1Tom's prediction: 0-0 Crystal Palace v WatfordWatford were outstanding in their win over Liverpool last time out, but their challenge is to follow that with another positive result here.
This will be more than interesting and efficient match tonight in England Championship and I will surely try here with over 3, what is for me really ok to try. So, Fulham is maybe this season not playing the best, but in this moment, they are very close to the play-off zone and I can surely said that they are closer to win here. Queens Park Rangers is change their style this season and team is playing very efficient in last period. We will see how they will play this time, but over 3 is ideal option for me and I will try.
He will surely be in urgent discussions with Arsenal's recruitment team to find a central defender of steel and reliability as Luiz cannot be relied upon and Mustafi's vulnerability is unsustainable if Arteta is to build the side he wants. Arteta looked downcast at the final whistle as he moved among his players, consoling them before taking the applause from supporters disappointed at the outcome but encouraged by the effort.

I really don't understand this odds at all. Kolubara are a solid team but they just don't have what it takes for first league for sure. Metalac on the other hand are a team with a huge experience and quality at their squad and after they got relegated last year for sure they will get back at the first league. There is only 4 round until the end so Metalac has to won as they are not sure yet but as far as I'm concerned about the hosts they don't stand a chance for sure. Guests should take at least a point without any troubles. So unless there isn't some fixing which is common here at the Balkan its is IMO a huge value...
Roy Hodgson's men have lost just one of their last eight matches. During that time, they've only conceded more than one goal on one occasion, while they've restricted their opponents to just one or less in each of their last seven, keeping three clean sheets. To illustrate just how useful Palace are when it comes to keeping teams quiet, even the current top two in the Premier League haven't conceded less home goals than The Eagles this season. Palace have the joint-best home defensive record in the top division.
Should PSG progress, the Champions League semi-finals take place on 18-19 August, before the final on 23 August.

The drive to the hospital was difficult as Paris was holding my finger like babies do and every reality and false reality was racing through my mind,” said LeBlanc, who played at five World Cups won Olympic bronze at London 2012.

Wisla Plock will host Rakow Czestochowa for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. In my opinion, the Wisla have fallen in their shape. I believe, they are not convincing team. In last game Wisla Plock played in a 2-2 draw with weak Wisla. Also, we have Rakow who's is also not very good team in recent times. True, in previous game Rakow is won 2-0 against Piast Gliwice. So, I expect, Rakow will try to provide a strong resistance. They tend to score a goal.
