Keane: Since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti Everton are no longer a soft touch. Their two central defenders have become the fulcrum of the team. Mason Holgate, a player who has made my team of the week on more than one occasion this season, and Michael Keane were the names that stood out against a Norwich team staring relegation in the face. It was Keane who got Everton's winner and his performance deserved it.

He had just scored 30 goals the season before. He was our captain.

Scholes had more strings to his bow than Xavi. I could do an hour on all this and I would like to accompany it with a Powerpoint and reasons behind my decisions and a few clips.

Then after Olympiacos equalised to put themselves on the cusp of the last 16, Auba missed a gilt-edged sitter meaning Olympiacos went through on away goals after a 2-1 win at the Emirates.

Manchester United had been without a women's team for 13 years when the side was eventually re-formed in 2018 - but they're making up for lost time, needing just two seasons to become the fourth best side in England. In their first Championship game two years ago, they beat Aston Villa 12-0. They went on to win the division with 18 victories from 20 games, before finishing fourth in their first season in the Women's Super League.
Jefferson Lerma: The Colombian has never featured in my team of the week before and I'm not entirely sure why. Whenever I've seen Jefferson Lerma play for Bournemouth he always puts in a shift, never shirks a tackle and seems totally uninterested in the limelight. However against Chelsea he wasn't merely a 'valet' for the more accomplished players in the Bournemouth set-up but more of a 'butler'. Bournemouth had nine players out through injury but Lerma orchestrated one of the upsets of the day in a performance that will rank as one of the best in manager Eddie Howe's career.
The relationship was not good before, but that was like the complete divorce. I was not expecting for their relationship to explode.

This is another match from Belarus Premier league, or second league in this case where I will bet on goals, what is for me very real and ok to try.

For me, this odds are really excellent and I must try that. I see here 2-1 win for home team.

People were turning around and looking at each other and thinking: 'Could we?' I've never felt a feeling like that in my life, and I grew up standing on the Kop as a kid. It sends shivers down my spine even now thinking about it. I walked out after that game and there was just a stunned silence, and I've never witnessed that before. People were sitting in the pub I went into in shock. No-one could believe what had just happened.
Long-serving Gunners manager Arsene Wenger was not a fan, saying: "You cannot say it is football any more. It is more rugby on the goalkeepers than football. You won't be surprised to hear such complaints were music to Pulis' ears. I always want angles to get players motivated, to put fire into their bellies and something for the supporters to feed off," he said. When Wenger first said it, called us a rugby team, it was the third time on the bounce we had beaten them at home.

Watford is in amazing form right now and have won all 3 of their home matches under their new coach Nigel Pearson. He took took over and changed the body language of the team wholly. Watford have also won their last 7 FA Cup matches in front of their own fans. In contrast, Tranmere is in very bad form anf coming from a defeat against Coventry by 4-1 goals. They were also thrashed 7-0 by Tottenham at this stage of the competition last year and this is likely to be a similarly one-sided contest. I expect Watford to score at least 3 goals.

Manchester United have triggered a clause to extend midfielder Nemanja Matic's contract by one year. The 31-year-old, whose three-year contract was due to expire this summer, is also in talks with the club over lengthening the deal even further. Matic's recent form has encouraged United to extend his stay to 2021 and the Serb could remain beyond that. Matic has made 109 appearances for the Old Trafford club since joining from Chelsea in a £40m deal in 2017.
It is on nights like this that those chickens come home to roost. Arsenal exposed them ruthlessly and brilliantly thanks to the expertise of Aubameyang and the sort of fierce discipline and determination that many regard as alien to them. City's goalkeeper Ederson is truly outstanding and Aymeric Laporte is a world-class defender in the making. And then the problems start. Defeat for Manchester City was their first in a domestic cup competition since February 2018Guardiola entrusted central defensive duties here to Laporte and 19-year-old rookie Eric Garcia, hardly a vote of confidence in England's John Stones, whose star is on the wane, while it has been obvious for some time Nicolas Otamendi is no longer fit for purpose.

He loves football, he wants to be out there and wants to be better," Solskjaer added.

Each of Lazio’s home wins this season has come by a margin of two goals or more. With Napoli struggling, we think that the visitors will fall some way short in this trip.

But I think it's just about making sure that they work as hard as we did when we didn't have anything to make sure that they carry on that culture and environment to work harder.
