The arrival of their new boss should improve things for a Stoke side who have showed their talents with some strong displays, sitting in the top half based on the strength of their performance data. They’ve been let down by bad luck and defensive errors, but that’s something O’Neill has proven he can fix.
Football has returned but there's just one problem. Lockdown. That means no supporters inside stadiums and no going to the pub with your mates to celebrate your team's big moments. But fear not. With the Premier League live on BBC TV for the first time since the league's inception in 1992, we've got you covered. MOTDx Watchalong is a new live digital show available on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website, bringing together fans from up and down the country to watch the BBC's four Premier League matches and FA Cup games.
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.
Crawley Town are far from in form and they have just one win in their last eight league matches. Unsurprisingly, this run of form has seen the hosts drop down the table and although they looked good in the early rounds of the season, they now appear to be in a battle in mid-table. Although they cannot be counted on for the win this weekend, they have earned 67% of their points at home so will be hopeful of a positive result. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 10 matches and have seen both teams score in 78% of their league games, so they know that there is much work to be done in order to reverse their current fortunes.
Arsenal and Netherlands forward Vivianne Miedema has been named the Football Writers' Association Women's Footballer of the Year.

Miedema was the Women's Super League's top scorer in 2019-20 with 16 goals. She is also her country's leading goalscorer and helped the Netherlands reach last year's World Cup final.

Manchester United started the season poorly but seem to have turned the bend. They have managed to string up a five match unbeaten run and meeting the weakest side in the league is sure to boost their confidence. The last five matches must have built United’s resolve and wins over Manchester City and Tottenham are testament to their capability. While they have scoring a plenty, Watford have been conceding a lot and Watford’s form at home should work for United. In the last 10 matches, United have scored twice or more in eight, on the flipside, Watford have conceded two or more goals in six of their last eight. Watford have also failed to score in six of their last 10 matches and scored in just one of the last five league matches at home. Based on this, Manchester United are outright favorites, and we are backing them for a 2-0 win.

The Portuguese is having to contend with injuries to Moussa Sissoko and Harry Kane. Despite the lack of activity, Mourinho is sanguine with the Mirror carrying these quotes: "This isn't about a list of players. January is a strange market, it's not an easy market to be in. It's a market of opportunity, a market where an opportunity arise and you have the conditions to do it or not to do it.
The final Coppa Italia clash of the round sees Roma heading to Parma for the second time this season. The Giallorossi are hoping to land a victory following a solid season, while they need to end their wait for silverware. However, for Parma this is a chance to build on a great campaign.
Walsall have only scored 10 goals at home this season and Crawley have netted 16 times on the road, and it is this added scoring power that backs up our prediction for the visitors to avoid defeat this weekend. Crawley might score a decent amount of goals on the road but they have only kept clean sheets in 8% of those matches and are yet to win-to-nil away from home.
But that’s the sort of thing that will happen with a young squad, and the sort of thing that if all goes to plan, will be sorted in good time. In the first half, we were really, really good,” said Mikel Arteta afterwards. They executed everything that we planned in a really good way. They have courage to play; they have courage to make big decisions.
The kick was ordered to be re-taken after VAR ruled Norwich's players had encroached into the area. Cantwell's sliderule effort restored Norwich's lead in first-half stoppage time after Arsenal's defence backed off. Aubameyang fired in from close range to level again in the 57th minute but it was Norwich who looked the more likely winners with Leno making several good saves.
Everton's scouting team have reportedly watched the Brazilian several times in the recent months, with Arsenal and Leicester also attending Ligue 1 matches to check out the 22-year-old. Gabriel has admitted that a move to the Premier League would be a "dream", but Lille will demand around £30 million for their defender this summer.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has criticised the timing of Inter Milan's bid for midfielder Christian Eriksen. The Danish midfielder is set to travel to Italy next week to finalise a move. Inter have been linked with Eriksen throughout January, but have not moved until late in the transfer window.

He showed at the end of the game his shot-stopping ability that made him the toast of the nation at the last World Cup, but this is trumped by the foibles in his game. Both stats (most goals from errors in the Premier League in last 18 months) and the eye test tell the same story. Unfortunately there is not a clear answer or experienced keeper lying in wait to take over the gloves, but taking a flier on either Nick Pope or Dean Henderson would be a far better option.
De Graafschap have only conceded 6 goals at home this season and have scored an impressive 24 goals, while Utrecht Jong have conceded almost double the number of goals they have scored on the road so far this season. 40% of the hosts’ home games have seen both teams score while the same can be said about 30% of Utrecht Jong’s away games this season, so you can see why we have backed both teams to score on Friday.
We looked across at the linesman and he was running back to the halfway line. In recent years, especially with goalline technology, we would have been awarded the goal. I think the referee thought the linesman had flagged for a foul or offside, if we had got him across we would have got the goal. We just did not challenge it. David Elleray was one of the top referees in the country at the time and for him not to at least go and confer with his linesman was very disappointing.
Avranches is 6 points away from the top 3 clubs and a possible promotion to the second league level at this moment they are doing just fine in recent home games winning 4 times and just a loss in their last 5 home games at this moment plus they took all 3 points while playing away from home at Cholet earlier this season winning the game with 2-1 in the end and Cholet is just 5 points above the relegation zone at this moment and will be wanting just a point here.

Brentford host Leeds at home with a fairly good record of three wins one draw and one loss in their last five games as compared to their opponents Leeds who show up with 4 losses in their last five games but currently sit on the second spot within the division. Head to head I predict that this game will produce goals that are at least two and above. Predicting a straight win for either of the teams is a tricky prediction but considering the teams scoring performance I think two or more goals are a feasible prediction within this game
Norwich will against Liverpool in match England Premier league. My prediction this match could be won for Liverpool with margin score is 2 goals. Liverpool have great results on last 3 match in league due to Liverpool have won for the all match. Meanwhile, Norwich have not good result on last 3 match in league due to Norwich only have won in 1 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose. Therefore, I'm sure that Liverpool can defeat Norwich on this match due to Liverpool have great player in every position and Liverpool have yet lose on this season competition. Surely Liverpool have more chance to win on this match.
Pogba dreams of Zidane. The only question is whether the Madrid coach clings to his job. If Zidane leaves, the option of returning to Juventus will naturally resurface. One thing’s for sure: Pogba does not want another year at United. Whether it’s Juve or Real who help satisfy his enormous ambitions remains to be seen.

HONG KONG, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Vissel Kobe continued the perfect start to their debut season in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday when Kyogo Furuhashi's last-minute winner earned the Japanese side all three points against South Korea's Suwon Bluewings.

In his previous stint at the club, Ibrahimovic helped Milan win Serie A in 2010-11, their last major trophy. He left for Paris St Germain at the end of the following season. Milan had drawn their previous two home games 0-0, against Sassuolo and last Monday against Sampdoria, in between which they were beaten 5-0 by Atalanta in one of the most humiliating defeats in the club's history.
Only time will tell if winning the Champions League would end the indifference some City fans seem to have towards the competition, but I would love to find out. The most important question here is whether City can win it - and I definitely think they are ready. Of course there are other strong contenders, but that is why it is so difficult to win it and another reason why you have to give City credit for consistently reaching the latter stages.
We didn't see their players again but I have never really been bothered about not having a memento of the day. Being able to look back and enjoy that moment has always meant far more to me than a shirt. Someone can be our hero' Beckford celebrates with his manager Simon Grayson at full-time at Old Trafford. Leeds were top of League One at the time, 42 league places below United, and Grayson was right about the win entering the club's folklore - fans still tell Beckford where they were when they watched it, 10 years on.

RATING: B - - - - - MAN CITY Considering Man City's well-documented shortage of centre backs why didn't they sign one? If City are to make a deep run in Europe then Pep Guardiola must be hoping for no injuries. Ins: None Outs: Patrick Roberts (Middlesbrough, loan), Lukas Nmecha (Middlesbrough, loan), Ian Poveda (Leeds, undisclosed), Henri Ogunby (Burnley, undisclosed), Angelino (RB Leipzig, loan), Matt Smith (Man City, loan) Net spend: £0 RATING: E - - - - - MAN UTD Signing Odion Ighalo, who Watford were happy to let go to China, at the very last minute suggests a lack of strategy.
The top 18 teams are closer than that. Focusing on Forest and Leeds in particular, the gap is four points. Leeds are in the second automatic promotion spot and Forest have a play-off place thanks to their fourth-place position. Despite their lofty positions, both teams lost at the weekend (both suffering their seventh league defeats of the campaign).
