One name stands out in Manchester United's squad for their Europa League trip to Astana on Thursday. Defender Max Taylor has never played a first-team game for United. The local-born 19-year-old is another example of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's commitment to the club's youth. Yet for Taylor, it is the latest stage in a remarkable story of resilience and mental fortitude after being diagnosed with testicular cancer in November 2018.
By way of contrast, Sheffield United were expected to struggle fruitlessly against the demands of the top flight following their second relegation in three years. However, Chris Wilder has done a phenomenal job with the limited budget at his disposal, and The Blades find themselves up in 9th position with a five point cushion over the drop zone.
I was astounded. He said 'like I said at the start of the season you and Tony Adams were going to have to share the role with Sol Campbell, there's a bigger game coming up in four days' time, get ready for the Old Trafford game'. And as it turned out he was probably right. I was very angry for that Manchester United game. Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham This result prompted a huge party at Jamie Vardy's house2 May 2016The game that ultimately sealed the most remarkable Premier League title win of them all.
Pep Guardiola didn't emerge from the City dressing room for 45 minutes after their 2-0 defeat to Spurs. As sincerely as he tried to sound when he said he couldn't fault in his players, we have our doubts. The Catalan mastermind would have upped the intensity in training this week to correct the problem. We expect a rampant City to destroy West Ham. Back City to win with a -3 handicap.
Argentine forward Angel Correa struck the decisive goal in the 86th minute to complete an unlikely late comeback for Atletico after Barca had dominated the second half and had two goals ruled out following VAR reviews. Substitute Koke had put Atletico in front at the start of the second half but Lionel Messi levelled in the 51st minute.

We are working hard with the intention of being host to the Women's World Cup in 2023. What they said: Colombia's vice-president, Marta Lucia Ramirez de Rincon, said in a letter to Fifa: "For this government, sports are not only means to close general inequality gaps, but also, a tool of empowerment for women. In Colombia, deep traditions made us believe, for many years, that football, as many other activities, was exclusively for men.
The visitors then missed several gilt-edged chances and were punished in the dying minutes as Guirassy levelled with a fine finish from inside the penalty area after he was put through by substitute Quentin Cornette. The draw put leaders PSG 13 points clear at the top of the table. Second-placed Olympique Marseille visit fourth-placed Lille on Sunday while Stade Reims are at home to third-placed Rennes.
I have to disagree with the odds in this one having watched Kaya many times in their own league where Ceres is by far the best club while Kaya lost most of the games played with Ceres home or away league or cup last season, this while I watched them win 2-0 away at Shan Utd and their defense was really not that great to watch but their opponents were too weak to score a goal in that one, and do not get impressed with the fact they won that game as Shan Utd is very weak side.
Pulisic had provided the best chance of the half - controlling Antonio Rudiger's cross, turning sharply and firing it towards the roof of the net, forcing a save from Krul - before he eventually set-up Giroud's header with a swinging cross from the right. The goal should have been a catalyst for Chelsea to release the shackles but the fluidity never really materialised, despite them still being able to create further chances.

Another match tonight in elite league in Faroe Islands, where I will bet on goals, what is pretty ok for me and pretty real, but we will see what will happen. So, let's start from TB and that is team who is in last round played match with just two goals, 2-0, while B36 is playing mostly like they are played in last few seasons - mostly with huge number of goals. In last round, this team is played 6-2, so it is pretty natural to expect similar story and this time. I will bet on goals and enjoy in this duel.
Helmond and Excelsior will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Helmond this season have the following results: 3W, 7D and 14L. Meanwhile Excelsior have 10W, 7D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Both teams are in decent form right now, not losing many matches, and both have been finding the back of the net on a regular basis. Guimaraes offer a bigger goalscoring threat but the hosts have only conceded two goals in their last three league games, so we feel the pair will cancel each other out this weekend.

It was a result that gave Everton's hierarchy vital breathing space to assess their options in replacing Silva, who was sacked after 18 months in charge following the 5-2 Merseyside derby defeat by Liverpool at Anfield. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri was delighted with how Ferguson had such an instant impact on their fortunes but it is still their intention to appoint a permanent manager as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor secured a Europa League place with a 4th placed finish last season and look likely to be part of the continental mix-up once again this campaign, coming into the round of fixtures in 4th. The side only have domestic football to focus on following continental elimination and will be looking for a strong second half to the season.

Their record against Melbourne City is reasonable, winning 11 of the 28 games played between the sides but in more recent years they have lost three of their last four matches against City. This season both teams have scored in almost three quarters of Newcastle Jets games and the same figure appears in those matches when looking at beating the goal line, indicating we should see both teams create chances throughout the 90 minutes.

Second game of the Nicaraguan football league final and I believe it will be a well balanced game, the first game that was at Esteli's home ended 1-1, and now because it is the second decisive game, I believe that the two teams they will play in an extremely offensive way looking for the goal at all times.
Ancelotti's son, Davide, will be his assistant at Goodison Park alongside current caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson. More on this story throughout the afternoon.

Dyche's VAR observationsDyche used his programme notes to add his thoughts to the general debate about the video assistant referee system. The Burnley boss is supportive of VAR, saying he is "convinced it will become more streamlined the more the powers-that-be get used to the technology". There will always be grey areas though.

Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Jordan Henderson with a cross. Liverpool's victory over Sheffield United means they have a place in history as one of a select group of teams to have gone a year unbeaten in the Premier League. The Reds have played 37 games without defeat - picking up 101 points in that time - since losing 2-1 to last season's eventual champions Manchester City on 3 January 2019.
Lecce have a tough run of matches after the restart. After the heavy away loss to AC Milan, they have another tough game away to Juventus. They have a poor away run but an even poorer defensive record. Lecce have conceded at least twice in five straight away Serie A matches and face a Juventus side that has not been conceding a lot. Juventus have an added edge in their scoring; they have a great run at home and have scored two or more in the last seven home games. Seeing the high scoring nature of games involving the two sides, we are backing this one to end 3-0 in favor of Juventus.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard out-manouevred his one-time mentor Jose Mourinho - but a comfortable win at Tottenham was overshadowed by alleged racist behaviour aimed at visiting defender Antonio Rudiger. Rudiger was involved in the second-half incident that saw Tottenham's Son Heung-min sent off. The striker was dismissed, following a video assistant referee review, for raising his boot in a clash with the German centre-back near the touchline.

Overall, a lack of goals has blighted Rochdale this season. By utilising some very promising young players, mixed with with some very experienced pros, Dale have a decent side, while they play some attractive football, but they've found it tough to out-score teams, especially at home, which isn't surprising given that they've notched a total of just ten goals at Spotland.
