Schalke have failed to score in each of their last four away league matches. The Bundesliga is back and a win for second placed Borussia Dortmund on Saturday will take them to within a point of leaders Bayern Munich. They will be confident of getting three points against Schalke who are sixth in the table.
We were relentless in the second half and once we got the goal we made sure we didn't sit back and instead we set out to kill the game off and that's what we did. When results don't go your way you feel in debt to the fans and we needed a day like this. We wanted to win and now we want to make it count by winning the title.
Neymar was in the mood from start to finish tonight, scoring one and contributing two assists. His understanding with Icardi and Mbappe has never looked stronger. There was no way to stop him. PLAYER RATINGS Paris Saint-Germain - Rico 5, Bernat 5, Marquinhos 6, Diallo 5, Kurzawa 6, Kouassi 7, Sarabia 7, Paredes 6, Neymar 9, Mbappe 8, Icardi 8.
But I just don't trust the Gunners defensively - you can't, because it is still the same players, regardless of who is in charge. Chelsea are so inconsistent at the moment too. I watched their defeat by Southampton last time out and, as frustrating as they were in that game, I would not be surprised if they played much better here. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Avelino's prediction: Willian looked like Lionel Messi when Chelsea beat Tottenham last week.

With 15 points to their name after 17 matches, Accrington are having a tough campaign. They come into this match having won none of their last four, three of which they've lost. For most of the season, a lack of goals has blighted John Coleman's men, though attacking impotence has become a huge problem over the last month or so. Not only are Stanley without a win in four, but they're also without a goal in four. Defensively, they've not been appalling of late, shipping only two goals in their last three, but such numbers pale into insignificance if no goals are going in at the other end.
A team in much worse form is Stade de Reims. David Guion's men enjoyed a blistering start to the campaign with wins over PSG and Lille making Ligue 1 fans take notice but they have hit a bit of a slump in recent weeks with zero wins in their last four league matches. They did managed to get a 2-1 win over third-tier Bourg-en-Bresse in the cup but apart from that it has been rather disappointing.
Somewhat bizarrely, Ipswich have done much better away from home than they have at Portman Road this term. Tuesday's visitors are League 1's second-best away team in terms of points accumulated. They've not won any of their last four on the road, two of which they've lost, but after Saturday's confidence-boosting win, they may just fancy themselves to become the second team to win at Kassam in the space of four days.
The rule adds that "climbing onto a perimeter fence and/or approaching the spectators in a manner which can cause safety and/or security issues" is a bookable offence, although in Janderson's case, this was borderline. The player climbed steps, rather than fencing, to reach the fans and it was open to interpretation as to whether his presence could have been a security risk.
GOAL! 1-1. Drilled home by Lukaku from 25 yards, a slight deflection off Umtiti which may have diverted the ball away from Neto. Superb play from Martinez in the build up, turning Umtiti and holding him off the ball before laying it to his strike partner. Martinez plays a lovely ball through to Lukaku down the inside right channel, Neto came out quickly and the big Belgian pushed the ball past him but out of play.

Cardiff recently enjoyed a run of form of their own, winning three on the bounce, though they were stopped in their tracks on Wednesday evening, as they lost by two goals to one away against Brentford.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he is "not holding his breath" on Rashford's fitness after the in-form England forward injured his back when coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup replay against Wolverhampton Wanderers this week. Going to Anfield without Rashford would be a major blow to United's hopes of ending Liverpool's 38-match unbeaten league run, but Berbatov says 18-year-old Greenwood can step up.
Werder Bremen is going to face Bayern Munchen. The hosts of this clash won only one of the last three matches and it was against the weakest team in this league Paderborn. The hosts scored 5 goals and conceded one and it was a pretty good match. The visitors won against Borussia M. 2:1 but today I expect a higher victory. Lewandowski is back and I think he will score at least one goal against Werder. My bet for this match is Bayern Munchen to win this match by more than 2 goals. The visitors are dominating in each match in this season.
Inter is hunting the title, along with the long term champion Juventus, and they need to keep on with the good form, at the ground like in Udinese, as team have already made some drop and is not anymore at the leader place.

They've had a lot of time without winning so we have to be passionate with a clear focus. It'll not be overnight but we have to be patient. I'm sure we're going to improve quickly. Ancelotti confirmed Ferguson would stay on in his coaching staff because he was familiar with the players, saying he had done the same at Paris St Germain with Claude Makelele and Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane.
Javi Gracia was dumped in favour of Quique Sanchez Flores, and while things did improve marginally his return to Watford hasn’t exactly been a roaring success. That being said, he will be hoping their 2-0 win over Norwich before the international break can renew some faith in the squad.
Atletico Madrid will be looking to further open up the gap at the top of the La Liga standings when they host Celta Vigo on Monday. With a game in hand, Atletico are on 50 points, 10 ahead of Barcelona and Real Madrid who are tied at second. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo are currently in 10th place, with 25 points.
Newcastle have essentially secured their place in next season's Premier League by reaching the fabled 38-point mark. Steve Bruce could decide to experiment with tactics in a bid to make a late Champions League surge, but that seems unlikely. Tried and tested will geta another run-out as it's been going well on home turf. Back under 2.5 goals.
Chelsea's performance against Crystal Palace on Tuesday sort of summed them up for me at the moment - they were good going forward, and they were very average at the back. That is just the way Frank Lampard's side are right now. As dangerous as they look in attack, you can get at them too. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Scotty's prediction: I've never seen a team overachieve as much as Sheffield United have done this season.
And it was significant Pochettino felt compelled to talk about players with "different agendas" after the humiliating League Cup exit to League Two Colchester United. In 2019, no Premier League side has lost more games in all competitions than Spurs' 18. The last time they lost more in a calendar year was in 2008 when they suffered 19 defeats under Juande Ramos and Harry Redknapp. Tottenham sack Pochettino after five and a half yearsHow Pochettino's Spurs reign unravelled - in numbersHas Levy made the right decision?Outsiders - and indeed plenty of Spurs supporters - were quick to condemn the haste of Pochettino's departure and the brutal manner in which it was announced.

SPAL pulled one back in the second half through a moment of individual brilliance from Mattia Valoti, but Inter hung on to take advantage of Juventus dropping points by drawing 2-2 against Sassuolo earlier in the day. Inter are now one point ahead of Juve on 37 points, while SPAL remain second from bottom and without a win in their past seven matches.
Despite Mainz being only on the 14th place in the league, they have scored more goals than 8 other teams in the league. But with 38 goals conceded in 16 games, they also have the second worst defense in the league. At home 6 of the 7 games of Mainz went over the 2.5 goals.
I know odds are not the greatest but last season Redlands made it tough for Eastern Suburbs who barely won away at Redlands with 3-2 in the end thanks to a really late goal in that one while at home Eastern in the final round of the season took a 2-0 lead by half-time of the game but very late Redlands scored two goals and drew the game 2-2 in the end. This while both clubs are coming after their first win of the season last round the hosts won 4-2 away from home at Brisbane City but in their last home game failed 5-0 at home to Brisbane U21.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says winning the Carabao Cup for the third time in a row is a "big success" and shows his side's consistency. Goals from Sergio Aguero and Rodri before Mbwana Samatta's reply saw City beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley. Guardiola's side have now won the Community Shield and League Cup this season and are still in the FA Cup and Champions League. It's the consistency, incredible," Guardiola said.

At first sight I would have perhaps wanted to cover the draw but looking at the league standings I see that Watford played 12 games this season and with a record of 8-1-3 so far they only really drew just one game so far and will want all 3 points here once more as they are the league leader with 25 points 5 points more than the rest of the pack and want to increase that lead at the top this while the hosts are really not that great defending and even last season they lost at home to Watford with 2-1.
Wednesday but Borussia's players are the first from the Bundesliga to accept pay cuts, something that is seen as inevitable across all suspended leagues and sports if the crisis drags on. I am very proud of the boys. It is a clear signal. We stand together in good and bad times for Borussia," Eberl said.
City's back line has been ravaged by injury, with Guardiola fielding defensive midfielder Fernando in central defence in recent games. The reality is we are 14 points behind for the mistakes we have done, for the quality of our opponents and especially, as well, the things we cannot control," he said.
I saw Roberto Carlos try many, many times to do it again without ever coming close. David Beckham's career-launching goal from inside his own half at Wimbledon in 1996 is worth a mention too. Best player I've seen liveCristiano Ronaldo was, in my opinion, the best player ever to play in the Premier League - but was at his best after he left England for Real Madrid. I commentated on his hat-trick for Portugal against Spain in the 2018 World Cup, which was very special.
The visitors are in need of a result which can turn that result around, but they do have a fine record in this competition to back them up. Their only defeat in nine KNVB Beker matches was a penalty shoot-out loss at Twente. They have won five of their last six matches in regular time in this competition, cruising to victory in the final back in May.
Arsenal, 12th, started with great intensity, forcing Frank Lampard's tired-looking Chelsea back, until Aubameyang broke the deadlock after 13 minutes with an acrobatic header. Lampard brought on Jorginho after 34 minutes and changed from a 3-4-3 formation to 4-3-3, as he did on Boxing Day against Southampton, and it helped the visitors find a foothold at a fired-up Emirates Stadium.
Forest have taken only six points from the five games since they beat Leeds on 8 February to catapult themselves into serious contention for a top-two finish. Relive Middlesbrough 2-2 Nottingham ForestPublic backing, but no win for WoodgateWigan's surprise success at leaders West Bromwich Albion on Saturday had left Boro third from bottom and brought more scrutiny to the position of head coach Woodgate, whose side have now gone 12 games without a win in all competitions.
The 34-year-old, who joined Juventus from Real Madrid in 2018, sat out as the team eased past Udinese en route to the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Wednesday, and his manager says he is determined to help him to match his great rival and win a sixth world crown. I would like to help Cristiano win the sixth Ballon d'Or first," Sarri told reporters post-game in Turin.
MK Dons have improved of late, but their away form cannot be ignored. The visitors have struggled massively on their travels this term, so much so that they've claimed just five points. That doesn't bode well ahead of a game against the second-best home team in the division.
No Arsenal players or staff will be tested for coronavirus after the postponement of Wednesday's Premier League game against Manchester City. The match was cancelled after Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis said he had contracted the virus. Marinakis attended Olympiakos' Europa League tie at Arsenal on 27 February. The BBC understands fewer than five Arsenal players are in self-isolation, having been in contact with Marinakis in the tunnel after that match.
He doubled his tally later in the game from the penalty spot after VAR ruled that Karim Bellarabi had been fouled in the box. This came just six minutes after the hosts had finally given their 'cardboard army' something to remain impassively immobile to when Marcus Thuram fired in an equaliser. A Sven Bender header made sure of the points for Leverkusen with nine minutes left, giving them a win that sees them leapfrog Monchengladbach into third place in the table, five points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Celtic have been fined 16,000 euros (£13,375) by Uefa for "setting off fireworks" during last month's Europa League win over Lazio. The governing body have also handed out fines of 2,500 and 6,750 euros to the Serie A club for pyrotechnics and "throwing of objects", respectively. The Scottish champions won the match in Rome 2-1 and will play Copenhagen in the last 32 of the competition. Lazio were eliminated at the group stage after finishing third in Group E.
We need to be brave and daring - what the fans expect - and then who knows?"MATCH FACTSHead-to-headEspanyol are looking to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg against Wolves. In Uefa Cup/Europa League history, there have been 221 occasions of a side losing a first leg by four or more goals - two of these sides have progressed (FK Partizan v QPR in 1984-85 and Real Madrid v Borussia Monchengladbach in 1985-86).
Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has held clear-the-air talks with Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. The pair spoke in the wake of City having a two-year ban from European competition overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). City sources stressed their problem was with the process by which they ended up being banned by the investigatory chamber, led by Yves Leterme, not Uefa.
Mariners and Sydney will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Mariners this season have the following results: 4W, 1D and 12L. Meanwhile Sydney have 13W, 1D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Ronaldo the reason I love Man Utd' “My love of Manchester United really started when I used to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play and ever since then I have been a big fan of this great club," Fernandes told the club's website. For me to now play for Manchester United feels incredible, I have worked hard to get to this moment and I can promise the fans that I will give everything for the badge to help bring us more success and trophies.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has urged his side to get "the job done" against Shakhtar Donetsk to secure qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League. City are top of Group C and will qualify with a game to spare if they draw at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. The position we have is good. We have 10 points but we are not qualified," said Guardiola. I know Shakhtar and Dinamo Zagreb can win both games and we will be out.
