On an evening in which thousands tuned in to watch a new-look Premier League on their TV screens, players from both clubs used their platform to support the Black Lives Matter movement for racial equality. All players and staff took a knee immediately before kick-off, mirroring the actions of those at Villa Park in the earlier match, and the words 'Black Lives Matter' replaced players' names on the back of their shirts.

If he goes on loan it's a situation he wants and we wish him all the best," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said. It's a tough window to work but it's about rebalancing the squad.

Bennett has made 74 appearances for Wolves in all competitions since joining the side in 2017. He previously played for Norwich City and Peterborough.

Ralph Hasenhuttl says Southampton must become a "nasty team" again to recover from their poor Premier League start and climb out of the bottom three. The Saints, who have eight points from 12 matches, have gone seven games without a win and also have the worst defensive record in the top flight. We know we only have a chance if we stay brave," Hasenhuttl told Football Focus. It's about finding the way back to the track that we have been successful on.
They kept playing football, and they got their reward. It was very good management. As for Watford, well Hayden Mullins will be in charge for this game after Quique Sanchez Flores was sacked on Sunday. A couple of years ago, I thought they cannot go on changing managers because they will end up getting relegated. That approach paid off for them for a while, but it looks like it has caught up with them now.

Cukaricki is at 4th place at standings, and after ten rounds they are still without defeat at home ground, but it was in the first part of the season, and it won't be an easy task for them to continue it with good results, in winter transfer window they are sold maybe their best player defender Miroslav Bogosavac, and today they will play against table leaders and the best club in Serbia, Red Star.

It was a bit of a trek to the stadium and even they were contemplating going. Still to this day you think how did it happen? I have to pinch myself to believe that we did that comeback.

With England, the first World Cup I watched properly was the 1990 one so Gary Lineker and Gazza.
The Office of National Statistics says black men and women are nearly twice as likely to die with coronavirus than white people in England and Wales, while people of South Asian origin are also at significantly higher risk.

Given Wolves' success this season, an equaliser looked likely as they piled on the pressure. But this is a new Watford side whose only defeat since Pearson took over was at Anfield. And the Hornets showed their jubilant fans the type of resilience that had become lost under previous managers Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores earlier on in the season.
Leicester have top-scoring striker Jamie Vardy back in action, with the England international turning 33 on Saturday, after he missed three matches with a calf problem but centre-back Wes Morgan is out with a groin injury.

The players that maybe haven't been playing as much need to come through and show why they're here, take their opportunity. Tottenham, the Champions League runners-up last season, are without a win in their last five matches in all competitions. We have been in situations probably worse than this when we have had to turn it around and we have done that," Alli said.
As we know, the secret of good comedy is timing. So what better moment to throw this contentious theory into the Twittersphere than four hours before Everton's opening game of the 2012-13 season against a Manchester United side, bolstered by the signing of Robin van Persie, who ended manager Sir Alex Ferguson's final campaign as Premier League champions?I tweeted: "Took heavy flak from Everton fans for saying Fellaini does not influence enough big games - let's see how he goes against Man.
However, the Belgian has found a rich vein of form recently. He was exceptional in Real Madrid’s La Liga win over Getafe last week and kept his side in the game a number of times in this match, most notably making a huge save from Thomas Partey in the shootout to help Los Blancos to the trophy. PLAYER RATINGS Real Madrid: Courtois 8, Carvajal 6, Varane 6, Ramos 5, Mendy 7, Casemiro 7, Valverde 5, Modric 5, Isco 5, Kroos 7, Jovic 6.
With Clement Lenglet suspended and Samuel Umtiti returning from the latest of many injuries, Gerard Pique could be the only available central defender for Saturday's trip to Real Mallorca. Young Uruguayan Ronald Araujo, who was sent off 14 minutes into his only previous first-team appearance, could be thrown in at the deep end. Barca's strength, of course, lies at the other end of the field. Lionel Messi is once again the league's leading scorer (19 goals in 22 appearances), and a huge bonus is the return of Luis Suarez, who was set to miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury before the pause in action allowed him to recover.
Three times in a row is a big success. Speaking to Sky Sports, he added: "We've won a lot.

Odion Ighalo was a top worldwide trend on social media on transfer deadline day - because his move to Manchester United seemed such an unlikely one. He was trending again on Thursday - and this time it was for all the right reasons. United's managing director Richard Arnold boasted on Tuesday that Ighalo's signing made him the top global trend on Twitter on the same day as Brexit and President Trump's impeachment trial in the United States, with rival fans quick to point out that the reason he was doing so was not actually a positive for United.

I knew something was not right. MacDonald was diagnosed with bowel cancer on Friday, 23 August. It was a real shock," he said. I was 26 and coming to the peak of my career. You never expect it to happen to you, especially being so young and otherwise fit and healthy. I don't remember how I drove the car back home. It was like a daydream, and not a very nice one - more of a nightmare.

We wonder why, when we get to a tournament, England can't perform to the level," the 59-year-old said. For the international footballer of today, it's a huge problem, it's absolutely ridiculous. They don't get a break any more. They are machines and they break down. Someone like Harry Kane, an injury like he has had comes from playing too often, playing Saturday, Tuesday for evermore. As fit as he is, to pull a tendon like he has, it's fixture congestion.
Barcelona have been the dominant side in meetings with Atletico Madrid and they go to this clash on a good run of form. They will definitely be favorites, but Atletico can also be a tricky side. Atletico have scored twice in each of their last four matches, but that was against much weaker opponents. Here we expect them to employ a more defensive approach, as it has been in their previous meetings. Moreover, they have not been the strongest side when playing away from home, and their defensive approach has contributed largely to the low scoring nature of their games. Here we feel this game will end in under 2.5 goals.
While they have climbed the table - they were 14th when Pochettino was sacked, now they're eighth - results remain patchy and performances unconvincing.

Lewandowski's absence is a blow for Bayern but they have able deputies like Serge Gnabry in their ranks. Gnabry has 11 goals in the Bundesliga this season.

Back Bayern to win and both teams to score.
Two bits of lethal finishing gave them breathing space before the break but they only managed one further effort at goal in the second half, when Phil Foden saw his effort blocked at close-range by Aaron Ramsdale. With second-place already secured and next year's Champions League appearance now certain, they had little to play for against Bournemouth, and it showed. Man of the match - Junior Stanislas (Bournemouth) A live-wire down the right in terms of creating chances, and went agonisingly close to scoring himself with that free-kick.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp says he does not know how serious the injury is. We have to wait.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says he wants the fan who abused Eric Dier to return to watch the club once crowds are permitted at stadiums again.
This is now arguably Arsenal’s most important competition, given that they’re out of Europe and have a pretty significant task on their hands to qualify for the Champions League, even with Manchester City’s UEFA ban creating an extra spot in the Premier League. I’m really pleased with them [the youngsters],” Arteta said afterwards.
A 2-0 defeat at Gremio in midweek all but wrapped up their fate and they now need a minor miracle to avoid the Serie B trapdoor. Needing a win and nothing less from Sunday's game, the fact Cruzeiro haven't won any of their last 8 games, scoring just twice in the process, doesn't make for good reading and they appear a doomed outfit
