Former England striker Alan Shearer was confident Ancelotti was capable of turning around Everton's fortunes. I think it's a great coup for Everton to have him," Shearer told the BBC. He'll be able to attract players they wouldn't be able to if Ancelotti wasn't the manager. Look at Juergen Klopp (at league leaders Liverpool) and Pep Guardiola (at champions Manchester City).
Hawk-Eye - the operator of the goalline technology - subsequently apologised but said the system "remained functional throughout". The company added it was the first time such an error had occurred in more than 9,000 matches using the system. However, speaking to BBC Sport, Clattenburg, said it showed technology "can fail at any time". Clattenburg, who took charge of almost 300 Premier League games between 2004 and 2017, went on to apportion further blame for the failing to the video assistant referee system.
Roared on by the home fans, Howe's team threw bodies forward and almost fashioned an equaliser when Nathan Ake connected with Cook's knock-down, but the Dutchman's powerful shot flew straight at Patricio. Next up for the Cherries? A trip to north London to face Jose Mourinho's Tottenham. More to follow.
Cagliari head into this contest having scored 13 times in their last four at home in Serie A, while they’ve found the net twice in five of their last six at home overall. We expect them to pile on against a Milan side who have problems against the league’s best sides. When you consider Cagliari’s great scoring record and Milan’s fall, over 1.5 home team goals seems well priced.
No-one will like our performance today," Setien told a news conference after the game, in which his side had 74% of possession. Valencia were committed, they closed us down and we have a lot of things to correct. As in their 1-0 win over Granada last week in Setien's first game in charge and the 2-1 victory over Ibiza in the Copa del Rey, Barca monopolised control of the ball but made hard work of opening up their opponents.
Consadole Sapporo will host Jubilo Iwata for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Sapporo have advantage at home stadium. Also, Sapporo have better position in the table. They have an effective attack. Perhaps, the hosts will try to dominate on the home ground. True, Sapporo have big fluctuations. Also, they have 3 losses in their last 4 matches. In previous game Sapporo lost 4-2 against Yokohama M. Also, we have Iwata who's is worst team in this campaign. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task in this season. No doubt, the visitors want to win. Do they have the strength to win. This is the big question. In any case, they will in this match seek their chance.

You need to make sure that everyone is aware there is a big risk of sending big institutions, institutions of football that have been alive for over 100 years, into a very difficult financial position. That's the reality. I think Uefa and Fifa have taken the right approach in prioritising domestic football. International football got cancelled in the March camp, rightly so, and got cancelled in the June camp, rightly so, [and] the Euros have been postponed, just to give an opportunity to every league to find a solution with their contracts with TV rights.
There is no magic wand for Ancelotti. Thirteenth-placed Everton are still closer on points to 18th than they are eighth, but the new manager used his programme notes to spell out his desire to win trophies with the club and supporters will hope this is the start of a journey that brings the return of some former glories. Nothing is certain in football but Ancelotti's CV of 15 major trophies in five different countries - including the Premier League and FA Cup in 2009-10 with Chelsea before he was sacked a year later - inspires optimism.
Forest captain Watson was fortunate not to concede a penalty on 21 minutes, knocking Pritchard down as he skipped into the box. A well-worked free-kick routine on the edge of the area just before the half-hour mark led to Huddersfield's best first-half chance, only for Ameobi to intervene by hacking Grant's shot over the bar. Despite the Terriers looking the more industrious for long periods of the first half, it was the Reds that took the lead - Grabban showing brilliant technique with a close-range volley after being picked out by Worrall at the far post.
The incident happened when Barisic was lying prone after a tackle that led to Hibernian's Ryan Porteous being sent off during Rangers' 3-0 Scottish Premiership win.

All supporters identified as taking part in any unacceptable behaviour will be dealt with by the club and by the legal process.

United's improvement is not just down to the fact their front three are playing well, but it definitely helps that they are finishing off so much of the good work done by the rest of their team. Chelsea are dangerous when they come forward too, of course. I just think United carry more of a threat, and they are more solid at the other end too. There have been a few all-London FA Cup finals before but if I am right with my predictions, and City and United both win and play each other on 1 August, then it would be a huge shame that their fans will not be able to come along for the first all-Manchester final.
Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller has signed a two-year contract extension to stay at the club until 2023. The 30-year-old Germany international has made more than 500 appearances and won 16 major honours with Bayern since his debut in 2009. This club is not just any old employer for me. It's my passion," said Muller, who has scored 116 Bundesliga goals. I'm happy that I'll be here for two extra years, and I'll give everything on and off the pitch.
One more duel from Scottish lower leagues, or in this case league 2, where I believe in goals, what is so real for me. Stirling Albion is in this moment in the middle of the table and they are surely not favorite in this duel. Cove Rangers is better team and this team is really most positive surprise this season. They are first on the table and in the same time, they are in excellent form - they are won in last four matches in a row in league. I will bet on goals, and I think that Cove Rangers will win.

For its part, the visitors are seventh in the league, as a visitor has not lost any of its 6 away games by winning 3 and drawing 3 of them.

Much will be expected of Fernandes as he saunters into a team struggling for form and shape and with a dysfunctional midfield. It’s a lot to fix by yourself.

Shahin Bushehr against Pars Janoobi Jam here, meeting of the Iranian Football League that is played tomorrow morning at 12:30. Favorite guests to win the match come from a 1-0 away defeat by Shahr Khodrou while the hosts are back from a draw away from home against white goals against Saipa Karadji. The guests are the strongest team here and I think they will not miss this match because the hosts are from several games without a win so they will try to clinch the victory. The home team have drawn 3 of their last 6 matches and I think they will try another here.
But there was late drama as both keepers redeemed themselves with fine saves and Calvert-Lewin had a goal ruled out for offside via the video assistant referee in added time as Sigurdsson lay on the ground in front of De Gea. That led to Ancelotti confronting the referee and being shown a red card after the final whistle, with boos ringing around Goodison Park. The result means United extended their unbeaten run to eight games and remain fifth, while Everton's chances of reaching the Europa League were dealt a blow following Wolves' win at Spurs.
With Kepa Arrizabalaga still proving inadequate between the sticks, and protection in front of the Spanish stopper limited, we expect Chelsea to concede again this week against a Brighton team who carry a decent attacking threat at home.

Adrian has been pressed into action more than he or Liverpool would have expected this season, with Alisson suffering two injuries, and his graph of performance and reliability is very much on a downward curve. After a colossal arm wrestle, Liverpool finally had this tie in their grasp when Roberto Firmino's first goal at Anfield this season put them ahead on aggregate but Adrian's error, a dreadful clearance exacerbated by a poor attempt to save Llorente's shot, finished Klopp's side off.

Vazquez, 28, has already spent six weeks out with a calf injury, but is now sidelined for another month. The Spain international has played nine games this season, scoring once. Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Santiago Canizares famously missed the 2002 World Cup after dropping a bottle of aftershave on to his right foot.
So would they have a better chance of picking up more points than a side like Stockport who still have to pay all of the top four? How about a table based on each side playing each other just once? To do this the results for the first scheduled fixture between each side are used - most of which took place before the end of November. So for example although Boreham Wood's Boxing Day trip to Barnet was postponed, rather than use what would have been the return fixture on New Year's Day the result from the rearranged first fixture which was played on 3 March, a 2-2 draw, is recorded.
