The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho. It doesn't make any sense for a striker of Zlatan's dimension to come to a club where we have Harry Kane.
Even in his interviews, he makes a point of showing admiration and respect - genuine respect - for his opponents. His sportsmanship is second to none and I've always loved that about him.

Read about that and why Tottenham think they can keep hold of Harry Kane here. Good morning The debates continue to rage as European sport continues in lockdown. We'll be bringing you the latest right here, with news on Wimbledon and the Game of Opinions podcast, featuring Ben Snowball, Tom Adams, Daniel Harris and Carrie Dunn, gives its views their various proposals for how to tackle the thorny issue of how the Premier League season will finish, if at all.
Manchester City have been banned from European club competition in 2020/21 and 2021/22 after being found to have committed "serious breaches" of Uefa's club licensing and financial fair play regulations. The reigning Premier League champions have also been fined 30m euros (£25m). The decision is subject to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Manchester City say they are "disappointed but not surprised" by the "prejudicial" decision and will appeal.
Nottingham did not have FA Cup engagements over the weekend and will thus be well rested for this clash against Brentford, but that is not a guarantee for a win. Brentford have had a good run and though they lost to Leicester in their last match, they will look at this clash with the motivation to stay in the top six. Brentford have a good run at home; they have seven wins in their last eight home games and six straight wins at home in the Championship. On the other hand, Nottingham don’t have a great away run while they don’t also keep many clean sheets, especially in away matches. None of the last nine meetings between these two has ended in a draw, and Brentford have won six of 10. Looking at Brentford’s scoring and defensive record, we are backing them for a win here.
Honved is going to face Ferencvaros. The hosts of this match play well at home and they lost only two of the last five meetings. Overall, they scored seven goals and conceded nine in their last 5 played so it looks good. Ferencvaros is the best team in Hungary and I expect them to win this match. However, the visitors scored only five goals and conceded seven in their last five games on away. I don't think that we will see many goals here and the most possible result is 0:1 for Ferencvaros. My bet for this match is under 2.5 goals
Now eighth, four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea having played a game more, qualification for next season's Champions League is looking a tough ask. Such statistics fuel the view of those who believe Mourinho is a busted flush and that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy made a major mistake in appointing him. But Tottenham fans who pay to watch their team every week are somewhat more forgiving. One of them is Michael Nunes, who first started following the club in the late 1960s.
Ultimately based on our experience and our perception, this seems to be less about justice and more about politics. Soriano added the club was hoping for an "early resolution" through a "thorough process and a fair process". He added: "My best hope is that this will be finished before the beginning of the summer and until then for us, it is business as usual. Guardiola and players 'focused on football'City manager Pep Guardiola has told friends he intends to stay at the club despite the European ban, with his contract set to expire in 2021.
However, we’re not expecting a battering here. Sheffield United haven’t conceded more than two goals away from home all season, and with Man City winning two of their last three at home by a 2-1 scoreline we think this is the best option for our correct score prediction.

The U’s are normally known for their defensive strength but over the course of this run, they have proven that they are much more than a side who just keeps the opposition at bay as they have scored on a pretty regular occurrence. The hosts have managed to find the back of the net at least two times in each of their last four home league games and know if that they are able to earn three points on New Years Day, they could find themselves in the top three come 5pm.
Managua fc have won their last game 2-1 of their head to head encounter against the visitors so today they are hosting Juventus Managua fc against. Let us remember that the visitors were very host last time when they have visited by Sabanas, they have scored five goals against Sabanas and they have conceded none so there is a great chance to see many goals scored here. I choose more goals to shower today.
However, as well as not scoring many goals, Wolfsburg don't tend to allow their opponents to score many goals either. Wolfsburg have currently got the Bundesliga's best defensive record. They have conceded just 16 goals in 16 Bundesliga games.
Valencia have won three of their last four home Champions League games (W3, D0, L1), having lost four of their previous five (W1, D0, L4). Valencia are one of five teams yet to score in the first half of a Champions League game this season, with all six of their goals coming in the second half. Daniel Parejo scored his first Champions League goal in Valencia's 4-1 win over Lille on matchday four - it was his 27th effort at goal in the competition and third penalty, having failed with his previous two against Juventus in September 2018 and Ajax in October 2019.
Well usually I don't like to play this league but this seems like a good value to me for sure. KF Llapi are currently at the 6th place and don't have to worry about relegation because they saved themselves but also they cannot do anything to finish at the top 2. Prishtina on the other hand are in must win situation if they want to finish at one of the top 2 places. Both teams are in good shape and are playing very attacking minded football. Prishtina are the better team here but there is always that factor of surprise and Llapi are good at home so I'm gonna go with over here.
Sunday's game was the first time Sergio Aguero, who scored a hat-trick in City's romp, and striker Gabriel Jesus had started together in the Premier League for nearly 18 months, and it came just days after the manager had opted to play without a striker during the League Cup win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The reaction from his Manchester City team-mates was emphatic and immediate as they knew the significance and importance of the save. The Chile international keeper had just won them the Carabao Cup. Did you know? Bravo made two saves in City's 2-1 victory, including that crucial save from Engels in the 88th minute. Defenders - Christian Kabasele (Watford), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Gary Cahill (Crystal Palace) Christian Kabasele: Being given the task of marking Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk on corners and set-pieces is enough to make a player have sleepless nights.

Subs: Suarez 6, De Jong 7, Fati 8. Highlights: 11' Great chance for Lukaku, he turned inside Umtiti but Lenglet's despairing challenge spooned the ball away from the target. Good save from Neto on his debut. Umtiti looks well out of his depth, muscled out by Martinez, who moved the ball inside to Lukaku, he fed Biraghi and his fierce strike, albeit at a nice height, was parried away.
Sirius will host Hacken for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the visitors are favorites in this match. Hacken are more ambitious team in this league. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result. However, this will not be an easy task. In last game Hacken played in a 1-1 draw with Malmo. Also, we have Sirius who's is very average team in this league. In previous game Sirius is won 0-2 against Ostersunds (away) In any case, this will be tense match. I expect, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Sirius to win.
The last 4 matches between these teams have never seen over 2 goals and this could be another low scoring match. In the last 4 matches between each other only once one team was able to score more than one goal in the match. So will see another low scoring match with both teams looking to play that defending style of football which has allowed matches between these teams to be much closer. The last 2 matches ended up in draws. This happened as both teams simply looked to defend more instead of going straight out to win the match
Threat was coming from everywhere with Edouard and Griffiths combining well as they pinned St Johnstone in and created chance after chance. They were ably supported by the likes of Callum McGregor, Ntcham, Taylor and Forrest, who seems to love playing against this opposition. It was his delivery which created the opener. An inch perfect cross that allowed Ntcham to power home without breaking stride.
Reaction & as it happenedHow did the players rate?'A seismic day for Gerrard and team'The statistics coming into this were quite something. Celtic had won 15 in a row at Celtic Park in all competitions and hadn't lost to a domestic rival in their fortress since Aberdeen beat them in May 2018. Rangers, for their part, were unbeaten on the road in the league all season with eight wins and two draws. That was the backdrop along with the tumultuous League Cup final last month, a game that saw Celtic play poorly, have a man sent off, concede a penalty and finish the game with just one attempt on goal - and the trophy.

Real Esteli U20 will against Juventus Managua U20 in match Nicaragua Youth playoff. My prediction this match could be the win for Real Esteli U20 with margin score is 2 goals. Real Esteli U20 have better result on last 3 match due to Real Esteli U20 have won for the all match. Meanwhile, Juventus Managua U20 have also good result on last 3 match due to Juventus Managua U20 have won in 2 match and 1 match is lose.

The Rio de Janeiro side are enjoying their best season in decades, having already wrapped up the league title and the Copa Libertadores, South America’s equivalent of the Champions League. However, they surprisingly went behind when Thiago Galhardo silenced the home fans at the Maracana stadium by putting the visitors ahead after 27 minutes.

NYON, Switzerland, Dec 4 (Reuters) - UEFA is to introduce a new-look playoff system for its 2022 World Cup qualifying competition which will avoid the need to compare results of teams in different groups. UEFA said the 55 teams, who will be battling for 13 places at the tournament in Qatar, will be divided into 10 groups.

But since beating Manchester United at home on Sept. West Ham looked woefully low on confidence against a Leicester side showing nine changes to the line-up beaten by Liverpool 48 hours earlier but who were still far too good for the hosts. Fans made their frustrations clear on Saturday, jeering Pellegrini's substitutions of Haller and Manuel Lanzini.
What chance does the great project have of ending in a true fairytale? It’s difficult to say, not least because of the way Real Sociedad have been playing this season. Home-grown star Mikel Oyarzabal is dove-tailing wonderfully with Alexander Isak and Martin Odegaard and together the trio help make Imanol Alguacil’s side one of the most exciting in Europe.
