This is Great Barr, where Smith, the son of an Aston toolmaker, is a legend. An area to the north-west of Birmingham city centre, the 48-year-old Villa boss grew up on the Gorse Farm estate, went to school in these parts, while his uncle Reg is secretary of Great Barr Conservative Club. On Sunday, the local-boy-made-good will lead his beloved team out against Manchester City at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final.
Three points this weekend would see Sydney FC extend their lead at the top of the league to nine points. Their recent form has seen them win six of their last seven, their perfect record only ended by Wellington Phoenix who picked up a 2-2 draw last weekend.
After a shaky few games following the restart, Hoffenheim have found a nice run of form, winning four of their last six games. They come into this match with an unbeaten run of six games away from home, winning two of their last three matches on the road. Against Dortmund, Hoffenheim have an impressive head-to-head record.
The visitors have managed to score in each of their last four away matches, and they can continue that trend here against a Levante defence who have conceded in each of their last four outings at home. It should prove to be no more than a consolation though, as Levante have fired in eight goals in their last three at home, which will give them huge confidence against a Celta defence which has leaked ten in their last four on the road.

Benfica were knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday night but top the Primeira League by four points. They host Famalicao who are third in the table but struggling for form at present. The league leaders beat Zenit St Petersburg 3-0 at home on Tuesday but that was only good enough to finish third and be transferred to the Europa League.
Angers will also be bolstered by their home form ahead of this game as they have managed to remain rather formidable at the Stade Raymond Kopa despite their lack of form recently. They have picked up the second most points at home of any team in Ligue 1 and have lost just once at the Kopa this season.
Both of these two teams have been in impressive goalscoring form in recent weeks. Augsburg have scored at least two goals in each of their last three Bundesliga games. Similarly, Mainz have also scored at least two goals in each of their last three Bundesliga fixtures.
Even if it doesn't look like it at first glance, AFC Fylde shouldn't be a big underdog here. The air is getting thinner and the four defeats from the last five games look bad. However, they only narrowly lost to much stronger teams like Eastleigh although the locals are 10 points ahead to Fylde, it seems that the game is going to be sewing and singing for them, but really at home Eastleigh is playing too much with two losses in the last five matches and on the other hand Fylde has scored in three of his last five visits, so I think here we will get to see a draw
Guardiola dismissed the notion that Mourinho's methods are outdated when compared to his and those of Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp. The value of Jose, a manager with a lot of experience with a lot of success, is not to be judged on one season, or 1-1/2 seasons," Guardiola told a news conference on Friday.
But with games against fellow strugglers Barnsley, Huddersfield Town and Hull City, as well as mid-table QPR and Reading, to come in their seven-match run-in, there seems to be a realistic sense of optimism about their survival chances.

LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to crank up the pressure on Chelsea in the battle for fourth place in the Premier League this weekend as they emerge from their mini mid-season break. Jose Mourinho's side travel to relegation battlers Aston Villa on Sunday on the back of consecutive league wins, knowing another one will move them one point behind their stuttering London rivals who host Manchester United on Monday.

Silva went crashing into Rashford in the penalty area like a bull in a china shop. If the tackle itself wasn't a giveaway, the player frantically waving his hand in mitigation to the offence certainly was. Rashford, nevertheless undeterred by Silva's bully-boy tactics, got to his feet, brushed himself off, and amidst the white-hot heat of a Manchester derby sent the City keeper the wrong way. Now that's a top class striker.
tomorrow will be playing match between teams Hebei and Guangzhou Evergrande. my prediction for this match is asian handicap 1 +0.5 which is same as double chance 1x, home team to win or draw result. Odd is dropping and that is one of the reasons why I chose to play this tip. Away team is better placed and they are favorites but they have already qualified for AFC so they don't need points anymore, while Hebei will have home ground advantage and they should utilize it. Hebei won once against Guangzhou at home with 3:0 score so I think here they can take at least 1 point. Good luck.
Son has scored in his past five games for Tottenham, including twice (and a late winner) against Villa on Sunday.

There is nothing we can do.
Upon integrating this data analysis into their training routines in 2017, the number of injuries sustained fell from 3. To ensure the results were not an anomaly, Getafe stopped using the technology for a period at the beginning of 2018-19 and then restarted so that a direct comparison could be made. Without the analytical tool from August to October, 96 days per month were lost to injury. With it, from November until the end of 2018-19, the number fell to 35 missed days, a 64% reduction.
FULL STORY 10:21 - Rooney slams Hancock and PL for making players 'scapegoats' Wayne RooneyGetty Images Wayne Rooney believes Premier League footballers have been made out to be "scapegoats" by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock and the Premier League. The first thing to say is that if Derby County needed me to take a pay cut to save the club I would understand and look to support them in whatever way I could," he wrote in his column for The Times.
Palace target Batshuayi Crystal Palace remain keen on signing Michy Batshuayi, the Sun reports. The 26-year-old striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Selhurst Park, but when Roy Hodgson’s club were quoted £45 million for a permanent transfer the move broke down. This summer Chelsea could be prepared to offer him for less, given Olivier Giroud has moved ahead of him in the pecking order.

Zidane said. I have said before, we need our fans with us. Talk, talk, talk, it's not necessary. He's a big part of the group and we are together. Stop jeering Bale, says Real manager ZidaneBale's name was jeered by supporters when the team was announced before kick-off against Sociedad and he received a similar response when introduced as a substitute after 67 minutes. However the former Tottenham striker played well in front of the home crowd and team-mate Federico Valverde - who scored Real's second goal - praised Bale's commitment to the team.
The departing directors had criticised the club's handling of a social media scandal and expressed doubts about the board's ability to handle the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to a 70% players' pay cut.

These two groups are linked because Bucharest hosts half the Group C games, with three Group F fixtures in Budapest. But Romania and Hungary are both in the Path A play-offs - so only one can qualify. If Romania win the play-offs, they will go into Group C with Ukraine and the Netherlands - and the Path D side will be in Group F. If Iceland, Bulgaria or Hungary win Path A they will go into Group F with Germany, with the Path D winner going into Group C.
Yes, they showed some character to come from behind twice, but with better defending they would not have been in that position in the first place. Freddie does not know how long he is going to be manager for - a week, a month, or longer - but his first task is to try to put that right. Gunners must change mentality'I am sure Freddie will aspire to the same key values we had in our team when we played together, when the discipline and organisation we had when we lost the ball played a big part in our success.
First up, a clingy, sticky night at Ibrox, and the omens pointed to Motherwell melting away. The visitors had not beaten Rangers in a league game since 2002, and not at Ibrox since 1997. You spoke to fans daily and the media circus was giving everything to Rangers," said Baraclough. It was a foregone conclusion and we weren't given a chance. It's gold dust to us. We took the players away from our usual training ground to a local team [Colville Park].
But Spurs’ midfield is a jumble of styles and abilities, with a number of players still finding their feet in the squad. And the Jose Mourinho era at Spurs will be defined by how he develops this area going into future seasons. However, in the short-term he must find a more workable solution. The trio of Lo Celso, Harry Winks and Gedson Fernandes that started on Wednesday evening largely failed to unlock Leipzig on the break and also offered a level of protection for the defence that was flimsy at best.

Vicki Sparks (BBC Match of the Day and Radio 5 Live commentator) - Vivianne Miedema (3)England has had a great season but if you look at what Miedema has done on the world stage too, she has been unreal. The Bristol City game. What more can you say about that!It's so clear that her and Arsenal fit together well. You see it on the international stage with the Netherlands too because the way those teams play just suits Miedema's style so well.
Arsenal, well, Arsenal ain’t that. As well as a dumpster fire of a defence and a marshmallow soft midfield, Arsenal can’t work out their best attack. Even better, star striker and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is apparently ‘desperate’ to leave the club and ‘half the squad’ could follow him, according to reports in the Independent.
These two clubs have been part of the 2nd league level in Belarus for more than 2 seasons right now but in both seasons Lida won home and away games with Osha for example they met just at the end of last season at Lida who easily won the game with no less than 8-1 in the end while in the first part of last season they also won with 2-1 here at the stadium of Orsha so you can really understand why odds are so low on the away win to happen here.

They have played 11 home matches in the league this season; only one has come back as a loss while they have won five and kept five clean sheets in the 11. They are unbeaten in four matches against Wits, winning three. Bidvest Wits, on their side, have no loss in their last three matches.

He has got a contract and as long as he is a Real Madrid player he will play at 100% - and do very well. He wants to win the championship and the European championship and everything else. It will not affect his performance. The facts and figures prove if he is on the field for Real Madrid they have a better chance of winning. No-one has ever accused him of not giving 100% and a 100% Gareth Bale is one of the best players in the world.
Schalke, who have lost just once in their last 10 league games, are in fifth place on 33 points, three behind Bayern, who are second. We have no pressure at all because when you play at Bayern you have nothing to lose," said midfielder Suat Serdar, Schalke's leading scorer with seven league goals. If we keep playing as we did before the winter break and last week against Gladbach, then everything is possible.
It was about 7am and we thought I'd get an hour or so," he says. But we were woken up at five past eight by bangs on the door and phone calls. I've never been so terrified as when I walked on to that bus and we just got the Walter stare. Teale - like several others - didn't make it to bed at all, and was only in the hotel long enough to hurl the contents of some team-mates' waiting suitcases all over the corridors.

Jack was visibly upset on Sunday when Rangers lost a final they should have won, but his way of dealing with it was deeply impressive. He put in another towering performance at the heart of Rangers midfield on Thursday. His first yellow ensured that he'll miss the first leg of the next round, but it was one of those bookings that was deserving of admiration and not admonishment. He saw Young Boys had a chance to counter and he took one for the team by stopping it.
