But when you analyse any defence, it is just as important to look at the players in front of them. The more they do, the less you do as a defender. We had hard working players who knew their roles and responsibilities and that seemed to be the case for Arteta on Sunday too. With Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi, Arsenal finally had two midfield players who were prepared to sit, and it also felt like the front players knew when to go to engage, because together they did that really well.
I think we have operated in a smart and functional manner to improve the squad and the goal has been achieved with Moses, Young and Eriksen," Conte told reporters after Wednesday's 2-1 Coppa Italia win against Fiorentina. Denmark midfielder Eriksen, who had been the main target, was finally signed from Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday and was rushed into the side for his debut as a substitute on Wednesday.

Fenerbahce have been the dominant side in this fixture and they will be hoping to extend that when they face a side with four wins in five home matches. Fenerbahce have not won any of the last four away league matches, and in the Super Lig they have managed just one win in the last six away matches. Their away form is a bit shaky and it may be a big risk picking on them here. Considering Rizespor rarely fails to score in this clash, and the fact that six of their last nine home matches have yielded over 2.5 goals, we believe they will score here. Fenerbahce have been scoring consistently too; they have scored two or more in seven of their last 10 matches. Based on this, we are backing this game to produce over 2.5 goals.
Juventus Managua is going to face Diriangen for the next round of this league. They lost twice on away and now they will play at home against the second team of Nicaragua league. Juventus won against Diriangen in the previous year in head to head match at home with the result of 3:1. I expect a balanced match here and it will be tough for the visitors. The visitors lost on away 1:2 and draw 1:1 so I expect them to score here. However as I said they shouldn't win tonight. I pick an Asian handicap for the hosts to avoid a draw.
We have the second semi - final match. Team Rijeka will play at home with team Osijek. It is very difficult to predict a winner after long break. Rijeka has won last 2 friendly games. Their shape is not so bad. Osijek has lost their last game. But there was match with team Dinamo Zagreb. Last year our clubs finished their h2h game without a winner. There was score 1-1 .
McNeil comes in as the 11th youngest player to achieve the feat, fewer than three months behind Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs (20 years and eight days), who holds the record for most Premier League assists - and slightly under two years older than record-holder Michael Owen. Keen to catch up, at 18 years and 171 days, Arsenal's Bukayo Saka later became the youngest player to record consecutive Premier League assists since Everton's Francis Jeffers in April 1999.

They are a major rival and it shows the players what they can do under pressure and what they need to do to survive in games. You cannot fault their commitment. Mourinho loses old club record - the statsTottenham boss Jose Mourinho suffered his first home defeat against a team he had previously managed, having won 12 and drawn one of the previous 13 across all competitions. Chelsea have won three consecutive games against Spurs across all competitions for the first time since January 2008 - current Spurs boss Mourinho oversaw two of the three wins in that previous run (2-1 in March 2007 and 1-0 in April 2007).
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Jimi's prediction: I really like Sean Dyche. He is a solid geezer by the looks of things. Arsenal v Man City (FA Cup, 19:45 BST)Arsenal's win over Liverpool on Wednesday was aided and abetted by some mistakes by the Reds but it was still a great result for them. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made a few changes with this game in mind, but his problem is that City boss Pep Guardiola also rested several players when they beat Bournemouth on the same night.
I think it's raining there which doesn't help the pitch. The one pitch we are all playing on, which is sensationally good organisation - where all the games are on one pitch and it's raining," he said. I'm not sure if people in Qatar are used to a lot of rain. We will see how the pitch will be. That's a bit of a problem. But we don't have more games. We have one game more and that is it. Until then, we will try to sort it as good as possible for us.

Ross County chairman Roy MacGregor is "horrified" by the idea of a truncated Scottish Championship season and says all 42 SPFL clubs "need to stick together to survive". It has been reported next season's second tier could be cut to 18 games. MacGregor is "very worried for lower-league football", and says Premiership clubs have a responsibility to look after those further down the divisions. I'm concerned with what's coming," MacGregor told BBC Scotland.
Leeds have been passing up the chance to close in on the top two and take control of the promotion race. They have been poor on the road of late, handing the initiative to their rivals in the Premier League chase. However, can the visitors sort out their problems away from home when they make this visit to Luton on Saturday?
Clubs have also failed to advance beyond the group stages of the Champions' League – and have reached even that phase only twice. Orban, a decent club player and lifelong football fan, has considered it a personal mission to turn that around. He elevated sports to front and centre in his government’s priorities and has made lavish funds available for football to create a world-class infrastructure.
Rooney intends to begin working towards his Uefa A coaching licence in the new year as his next step to joining them. Frustrated Rooney is 'ready to play tomorrow'New team-mates 'star-struck' by ex-England captain"It is brilliant," said the 34-year-old, who joined Derby from MLS side DC United. There has been a lack of former England players going into management in the last 10 to 15 years. When they finish nowadays, players have enough money not to have to do it.
SERIE A While Juventus will be joping to sign Paul Pogba for a second time, they will likely let another midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, leave with Arsenal being heavily linked to the Frenchman who has struggling to find a regular first eleven berth in the line-up of the Scudetto favourites. Kalidou Koulibaly is another player linked to the Emirates Stadium, but Carlo Ancelotti will try to use his connections to get the Napoli centre half to Goodison Park.
BATE Borisov climbed to the top of the Belarus Premier League after their weekend victory. They top the table despite five of their eight league games being played away from home and losing the first two. The goals are flowing at both ends and with their strong home record, they should be able to get the win here.
I would normally back the away win without a problem here but there are a couple of things that make me want to back the draw here as first of all I did bet on QPR U23 to win their last away game at Crystal Palace U23 and I was on my way to winning that bet with QPR having the lead 2-0 by half-time found themselves 2-2 drawn in the second half but did make it 3-2 once more taking the lead just that it ended 3-3 so feel safer taking the draw cover this time.
Last season, Waterford after 36 games won 43 points, finishing in 6th position on the table. Meanwhile Shamrock with the same number of games won 75 points and became the runner-up of the Irish Premier League. In all 4 matches of the 2019 campaign, Shamrock won all 4 matches against Waterford. The last time he came to Waterford's court, Shamrock easily won with a score of 5-1. After two games in the new season going on, Shamrock is leading the rankings with 6 points and a goal difference of +7. Shamrock won 3, drew 2 of the last 5 away games. I choose Shamrock -1 AH
They were all in the early stages on their paths to greatness, though one team-mate stood out above all others. I learned very quickly that this wasn't just my pal Marco, this was Marco van Basten," says Dick of the legendary striker. Even then, rumours were going around that he had signed a deal with AC Milan. When I arrived, I didn't have a car so Marco used to pick me up. We got on well and he was always messing around.

Confirmation that Liverpool are indeed playing this season on cheat mode arrived on Sunday when a team comprised largely of Championship Manager regens defeated Everton 1-0 in the FA Cup third round.
le puy finally won their first game at home this season in last round versus Bastia and it was 3-0 so that win should give to them enormous confidence boost and tonight I expect from them to play great and to be able to beat direct opponent from relegation zone,gazelec Ajaccio is pretty bad on the road with 1-2-7 score and they are also not in good shape so I m pretty confident le puy is going to beat them and the odd is just great,gazelec Ajaccio didnt won for 13 straight games and that should be extended after tonight
It was hardly a scintillating performance from the Villains though, and the fact that it ended a four match losing streak indicates that they still have a lot of work on their hands if they are to clinch survival this term. They have picked up just seven points from the last 30 available, and six of those points have come at Villa Park.
Standing between him and his eighth title is Dominic Thiem who is in his first Grand Slam final away from Paris. Djokovic has made a dominant start to the new year. He remained unbeaten in the ATP Cup as he led Serbia to victory. He dropped a set in the first round in this tournament but since then has won every set played.
There was a mass bout of pushing and shoving after Ben Cabango's challenge on Glatzel, while Celina was fortunate to escape sanction after an off-the-ball tussle with Sean Morrison. Moving up the tableAfter all that, it was Swansea who were happier to be level at the break. If the start of the second half was a little less frenetic, there was no drop in tension. Swansea gained a little more control, though it was Cardiff who threatened again as Tomlin lifted a shot over the bar and Junior Hoilett dragged wide from 20 yards.
Having come close to breaking into the play-offs last term, Stevenage's performances this season have been highly disappointing and the side look set for relegation to the National League.

Regensburg and Holstein Kiel will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Regensburg this season have the following results: 9W, 5D and 11L.
