His goal against Manchester United was his 20th in 28 games that season, and he also scored twice against Tottenham at White Hart Lane in round four as Leeds earned a draw before bowing out in the replay at Elland Road. He ended the campaign with 31 goals in all competitions, including a vital last-day winner against Bristol Rovers to seal promotion. My winner that day is one of those moments that will stay with me forever and is probably the most famous goal of my whole career, but it was actually very similar to quite a few others I got that season.
Another high scoring match is on the card here. Rotherham is in good shape and have won 3 of their last 4 matches. In contrast. hull is also in good form right now. They are coming from an away victory as well. The two meetings between these two sides in the Championship last season produced 9 goals and another high-scoring match is on the cards this time. If we see Rotherham's recent record, 14 of their last 16 FA Cup matches have seen 3 or more goals score, as have 8 of their last 9 matches across all competitions this year.
At home Dukla Praha have been strong so far this season with a 7-0-2 record in 9 matches. They have also been one of the most productive home teams in the league with 21 goals so far. They had a good restart of the league with a home win and a draw at second placed Brno.
This will be the first league meeting between Middlesbrough and Charlton since March 2016, with the Addicks winning 2-0. However, that game came at the Valley and was yet another home win. The side at home hasn’t lost a meeting between these two since Boro’s away win back in 2013, with the Riverside outfit winning four of the last six clashes overall. Given that record, plus Charlton’s recent away woes, we think that the home win is good value here.
That's why it's important for the regulations to continue as they are and no-one tries to make the most of the circumstances and not pay. Henry's message to Norwich U23 player Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has sent a video to Norwich City U23s striker Shae Hutchinson, who suffers from Alport syndrome and is therefore classed as highly vulnerable due to the pandemic.
Given their league position, it is somewhat strange that wins have been few and far between for Coventry on the road, though they've been very good at avoiding defeat, losing just two of their 11 travelling matches. They've also been particularly good at scoring away goals of late, notching eight in their last two, as well as 12 in their last five. Unfortunately, they're without a clean sheet during that time.
Setubal are yet to lose at home this season and Aves have lost all of their seven away games, with the hosts averaging 1.57 points per home game and the visitors yet to pick up a single point on the road. Setubal score an average of 0.43 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.14 goals while Aves score an average of 1.14 goals per away game and concede an average of 3.00 goals, but we are expecting another tight game in the Estu00e1dio do Bonfim which is why we have gone with a final scoreline of 1-0.
But then out game the secret machete, in the slightly unexpected form of an absolute clanger from Lukasz Fabianski, who let Mo Salah's dribbler of a shot through his legs. West Ham probably thought that sort of thing was behind them when they quietly sent Roberto off to that farm, but it probably speaks to the sort of desperate trouble they're in that even their most reliable player is now a fully paid-up member of the clown school.
But I don't think we should go crazy about it, we have to look at it naturally. Everyone thinks about retirement when they get to a certain age, but just because he's thinking about it doesn't mean he's going to retire in the next three days. Valverde added that he may only begin to truly appreciate Messi's greatness in a few years' time, comparing the forward's impact on the game as that of the late Argentine Alfredo di Stefano, who led Real Madrid to five consecutive European Cups.
Arsenal are on a really poor run, by their standards, and looking at their away record, there is a general feel that they will struggle here. Norwich are coming from a crucial win over Everton, which saw them rise from the bottom. However, they don’t have a good home record, losing four of six and have no clean sheet in the six. They beat Manchester City there and will hope to replicate this against Arsenal but from the balance of performances by the two sides, we see a scoring draw here.
Gerrard figured out how to cut their supply and negate their impact. This was surely the biggest day of his managerial career. There's been talk about Celtic being a tired bunch of players and there's some - but only some - merit in that. Last season only Derby's Richard Keogh played more minutes for club and country than Callum McGregor, and this season McGregor has played more minutes than any other player in the world (3,714 minutes across 42 games).

The visitors, who kept a clean sheet for the first time in 14 games, could even afford to rest Sadio Mane against a side whose fifth successive defeat left them one point above the relegation zone. The home cause was not helped by an injury to Nathan Ake, who limped of with a hamstring strain a minute before Liverpool took the lead.
Red Bull have an excellent home record in the Europa League. They will need to continue that form if they are to get anyway near qualifying for the last 16. They need at least three goals to have a chance of progressing. Frankfurt dominated the first leg but lost in the Bundesliga on Monday. Their away form isn't great and Red Bull can win this game but it's still likely Frankfurt will qualify.

What are each side's chances in the race to avoid relegation?'I can't see Villa or Bournemouth winning again'Having seen his side go backwards since the Premier League resumed, Norwich boss Daniel Farke says it is "unrealistic" to talk about avoiding relegation.
FC Ostrovets won the first match of the new season against Ivatsevichi on away 3:2 and it was a great play. They showed that even that they are underdogs they are able to beat better opponents. I think that at home they will be even better and they should win another match. Kronos failed to win their first match against Pershiy Region and they lost points after a 1:1 draw. Kronos was not the best in away matches so I see a chance here for Ostrovets to pick the second win of this season. Good odds for this pick and I will try this
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said Tottenham's Giovani lo Celso should have been awarded a red card by the video assistant referee for his "leg breaker" tackle on Cesar Azpilicueta and the decision leaves "another huge question mark over VAR". I hate to call for red cards but that is a leg breaker of a tackle," Lampard said after Chelsea's 2-1 win over Spurs.
in this game I expect goals on both sides because draw is really not an option for any of this teams and reason for that are more than clear, las sabanas on one side are on last spot on the table and they are struggling to beat anyone but tonight they have a good chance cause on the other hand Juventus Managua is not in a good shape at all and they also don't have a win on the road for the entire season, yet Juventus Managua beat las sabanas with 5-0 a month ago so I expect from them to score for sure
Harry Maguire scored deep into extra-time as Manchester United overcame valiant 10-man Norwich to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. The England defender, who moments earlier had a header brilliantly saved by Tim Krul, reacted sharply to turn in the loose ball at the far post. The game turned on the dismissal of substitute Timm Klose in the 89th minute. Norwich were in the ascendancy after equalising and looked favourites to snatch a late winner before the German was shown a straight red for pulling back Odion Ighalo.
It seemed as if his gamble in making nine changes to his starting XI had paid off when two superb strikes from Dele-Bashiru and Chalobah, followed by Pereyra's side-foot finish, earned his side a three-goal lead going into the break. They dominated while Micky Mellon's Tranmere, 21st in League One, had failed to test Daniel Bachmann's goal once during that period. But the Hornets eased off in the second half and that allowed their opponents back into the game.
Not really much separating these two sides at this moment and last season they met twice here and both games one in the league and one in the cup ended in 1-1 draws in the end so just draws while both teams are without a win in the league after 5 games played and are dancing with relegation at this moment I have to say I do not see a clear winner in this one and will take the handicap offered on the guests not to lose this game although there is every chance it should end up in a draw.

At some point in the very near future Celtic will lift the Premiership trophy again, their ninth in a row, while Rangers will raise an asterisk, the only thing that passes for a consolation prize at Ibrox after an expensive and fruitless attempt to stop the silver heading to the east end of Glasgow. At the other end, the trapdoor has now officially opened and Hearts have plunged through it. Their fall was unjust, an affront to fairness given that so many games were left to play.
Lyon remain one of the big boys in France, but they haven't always performed like it this term. In fact, it's been a very up and down, stop, start campaign for Wednesday's hosts, who find themselves sat in an unflattering 8th position.
GOAL DISALLOWED! Zaha wins a free-kick by the corner flag and a whipped cross is flicked on by a Liverpool player, allowing Tomkins to head in unmarked at the back post. There was a slight nudge on Lovren - well off the ball - and the goal is eventually ruled out after a two-minute consultation. GOAL! Crystal Palace 0-1 Liverpool.

Leicester have struggled when playing the very best teams in the Premier League. The reverse fixture saw them lose 3-1 at City and that was swiftly followed by a 4-0 home drubbing by Liverpool. They rallied with two straight league wins but since then have just one victory in their last five matches.
TALKING POINT - Sergio Ramos nearly cost his team dearly with a moment of madness He scored the opening goal for Real Madrid, but Ramos very nearly cost his team by giving away a penalty kick, allowing Alaves the chance to equalise from the spot. As club captain, Ramos should know better. His elbow into the face of Joselu inside the box was careless at best, reckless at worst.
It's going to depend on what we do this season and what happened in the last few seasons is going to have a big impact as well. Arsenal's Lucas Torreira will miss the West Ham clash after he fractured his ankle against Portsmouth in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday. He was quite positive this morning.

You were the one who always made us happy about sport. We are grateful to you. Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu also paid tribute to Robinson. He said: "The world of football will feel your loss deeply. Thank you for sharing your vision of football, your kindness and your intelligence with us.
