The side have scored just 14 goals in 13 games, an average of only 1.07 goals per game and with just four games where the side have scored two or more goals they have really struggled to compete in recent weeks. Defensively they haven’t performed much better, conceding 20 goals at a rate of 1.53 goals per game on average.
Jordan Ayew's solo strike earned Palace a 2-1 home victory over West Ham United on Thursday, but the veteran coach's side, who were already without several injured players, lost defender Patrick van Aanholt midway through the second half. Hodgson, who has guided the club to ninth in the Premier League with 26 points from 19 games, is out of contract in June 2020 and the 72-year-old said he hoped to have more players at his disposal if he decides to sign an extension.
It is not yet known whether Ligue de Football Professional (LFP) will choose to abandon the season with no promotion or relegation and no champions or base the outcome of the campaign on current standings. Defending champions Paris St-Germain are 12 points clear of Marseille at the top of Ligue 1, with 10 rounds of matches and one outstanding fixture left to play. Toulouse are bottom of the table, 17 points from safety, and 10 points behind Amiens.
Tottenham have jumped the queue for Gedson Fernandes, the 21-year-old Portuguese international, who was linked to Manchester United and then appeared to be on the cusp of a move to West Ham. He is expected to sign an 18-month loan deal to provide cover for the injured Moussa Sissoko. Paper Round’s view: There were questions at Benfica over the attitude of Fernandes, which has seen him miss plenty of the season so far.
We conveyed that decision to [the SPFL] and ceased taking calls on the subject. We needed time to develop a clearer DFC view on the situation. In the meantime, Dundee say they have discussed options with "a variety" of clubs to "show solidarity" to those negatively impacted by the SPFL's proposal. Were the Dens Park club to vote in favour, Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer would likely be relegated, with other teams denied titles, or promotion through the play-offs.
I've been on the phone to (Liverpool captain) Jordan Henderson and he's working so hard to come up with something. It was just not needed for people who are not involved in football to tell footballers what they should do with their money. I found that so bizarre. Henderson has spoken with other captains to figure out ways to help frontline staff dealing with the coronavirus outbreak which by Friday had claimed 3,605 lives in Britain.
There is no big difference in a quality between those two clubs, they are both in the middle of standings, and neither of them has big ambitions in current season. Grenoble is in little better situation, since they are three points above their today's opponents, also they has better goal difference, but they will need to show that they are better team on the pitch not just on the paper. Grenoble is one of clubs with most draw matches in league 2, only Nancy is better than them in that segment. Chambly has won two of their last three games, winning seven points, and they are motivated to continue with good results. Match without winner
Manchester City have nine wins in 16 away matches Manchester City have scored two or more in four of their last five matches. Southampton have lost four of their last five home matches. Southampton have four wins in 16 home league matches. Both sides have scored in just three of City’s last 15 matches.
We had expected and calculated various scenarios, but we didn't expect that only a few fans would come to the stadium and the city centre. Apparently the pleas by the city and police to stay and watch the match at home have worked out. We are very pleased by this in order to avoid infections. Not everyone was happy though. Augsburg fans put a banner in an empty stand saying "football gives life - your business is sick" in protest at football continuing during the pandemic.
United went on to win the Premier League but have not come close to winning another, whereas Guardiola has two titles - to add to the three Bundesliga crowns he won at Bayern Munich. The 48-year-old has won 20 major honours, all with the distinctive tactics he learned from legendary Dutchman Johan Cruyff when he was a player at Barcelona. It is for that reason former England skipper Gary Lineker recently said on Twitter that Guardiola has "changed the way we play/think about the game" and has had "arguably the most positive influence of anyone, ever on our game".
Alaves' success against Eibar was definitely a huge step in the right direction for Asier Garitano's men, although they still rate as a team to avoid on their travels after picking up just a single point from their six previous away matches this term.

While they are five points clear of Werder in 17th, Fortuna have played one game more than the team underneath them. Fortuna coach Uwe Rosler may have been underwhelmed to see his side play out the drabbest fixture of the Bundesliga's return last weekend, a goalless draw at home to Paderborn. It served as a reminder that no team in the top flight has scored fewer goals than Fortuna's 27, averaging out at 1.

Four out of Isloch Minsk's games this season have been played on home soil and here's another one. They won their first two league games of the new season (both at home) against Neman Grodno and Smolevichi (both currently in the bottom three). Their 100% record ended when meeting better opposition with consecutive losses to Slutsk (the current league leaders) and at defending league champions Dinamo Brest.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES It’s time for a title race Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 Wenger’s back at Arsenal Thought you would never again see Arsene Wenger struggling with his coat zip on the Emirates touchline? It might happen again – and soon – after the Frenchman offered to help interim Arsenal boss Freddie Ljungberg settle into management… “Freddie?” It’s Arsene.

Although Napoli's fans are famous for their passion, they are also fickle and the average home attendance this season has been 32,592, a modest seventh in Serie A. And, despite their much-improved performance on Tuesday, they still extended their winless run to seven matches in all competitions. The problem blew up after Di Laurentiis ordered week-long "ritiro" — a widely disliked practice dating from the 1970s where players are confined to a training camp or hotel — following a 2-1 loss to AS Roma on Nov.
A repeat of those displays should make Los Blancos far too strong for Alaves this Saturday lunchtime, even though the hosts go into this one on a high after consecutive wins against Valladolid (3-0) and Eibar (0-2).
Sheffield United have scored six Premier League goals via substitutes this season - more than any other club; two of those have come against Bournemouth (Billy Sharp in August, John Lundstram today). Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson has now scored in two of his last three Premier League appearances (two goals), having failed to find the net in 15 consecutive appearances prior to this. Bournemouth's Wilson is one of only seven English players to have scored 40 Premier League goals since August 2015, the month he made his debut in the competition.
This is a fixture that so often provides plenty of goals with both teams scoring in three of the pairs’ last six meetings and over 2.5 goals being scored in five of those matches. Both teams have won three and drawn one of their last seven encounters against the other but this season Ajax Jong are performing much better than their arch-rivals and already boast a 26pt lead over PSV Jong with just 20 games played in the Eerste Divisie.
Since their victory over Manchester City on 27 December, they have failed to muster more than four shots on target in any game. Wolves have now also conceded first in an unrivalled 15 league games this season, including the past six in a row. And while they huffed and puffed, particularly in the closing stages, a victory against Newcastle would have flattered the hosts, despite their recovery from another sluggish start.
Passion or commitment, of course, will go absolutely nowhere if not channelled and accompanied by good coaching and meticulous tactical planning - but it is crucially important. Sir Alex Ferguson had near unparalleled success in the British game but was a manager first and a coach second; it is no surprise that each of his great Manchester United teams saw him appoint a great coach as his number two, whether that be Brian Kidd, McClaren or Carlos Queiroz.
Leicester's win over 10-man Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium was the biggest ever top flight away win in English soccer and it left the Saints in the relegation zone with the worst goal difference in the league. However, Southampton have tightened up considerably since that humiliation, conceding only 13 goals in 11 games, and have moved up to 12th in the standings ahead of Saturday's trip to Leicester.
Who looked really bothered out there? "I looked to the sideline and I don't see the leadership. There's some big questions that need to be asked by the powers that be. John Hartson added: "There was no urgency in the Arsenal performance. Very lacklustre, it looked like they had no direction from the manager in terms of how they were going to play.

Macae is going to the second round of Taca Rio, in order to get better from the first one, and to push for the eventual playoff in this level of the competition. Team is underestimated, but their weaker results in the first part were due to lack of players and not complete lineup for could of matches.
Everton produced a dominant display to beat Brighton in the Premier League as they responded well to their humiliating FA Cup defeat by Liverpool last Sunday. The Toffees deservedly took the lead after 38 minutes thanks to the superb skill of Brazilian forward Richarlison, who controlled Lucas Digne's pass, swivelled and curled an effort low into the far corner past Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan.
More was expected of Eibar on Matchday 13 considering they had won three of their last four at Ipurua and entertained a Real Madrid side who had recently suffered a 1-0 defeat in Palma against Mallorca.
Busan has played just fine till now and not been outclassed by any team but has had a problem endings matches and allowed a number of other teams to come back from behind in the match and claim points. That was the case in the last match week too. Busan scored the first goal but Gwangju scored three in the latter half. Both teams here come without some young players. Especially Busan, who are missing 4 players, and that is a big blow for Manager Cho Duk-je.
11 of Dortmund's last 15 games have seen over 3.5 goals scored. Meanwhile, five of Leipzig's last six games have also seen over 3.5 goals scored. We feel that Tuesday's fixture is likely to produce plenty of goals. We are backing over 3.5 goals to be scored in this game.
Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez - Liverpool have had more than their fair share of goalscoring heroes in the Premier League, but Mohamed Salah is proving the most prolific yet.

It was the first time Gattuso’s side had kept a clean sheet in the league under his guidance in his ninth game in charge, and the result leaves Napoli eighth on 33 points, one ahead of 11th-placed Cagliari. Rolando Maran's side are now without a win in their last 10 Serie A games, picking up four draws and six defeats in that time, their worst run of form since an 11-match winless run in April 2015.
