In my opinion these odds are really generous to bet on an Under between Spal and Bologna: Spal has the weakest attack of Serie A by far, being the only team to have scored less than 15 goals in the first 20 rounds, while Bologna certainly has a better attack, but they are much stronger at home than away. In the last 4 clashes between these teams no one has scored more than once and they have obviously all stayed Under: this should be another tight game between 2 teams which are fully involved in the fight not to be relegated, so another Under is likely.

If things are the same then as they are now, with the number of people who are dying, then we are not going to be talking about football. As of now, I am giving my opinion based on the situation at the moment and, right now, we still have time and the desire of the majority of football people to get things done. As things change, you reassess. What happens if we cannot finish it? As things stand, Villa would climb out of the relegation zone if they win their game in handMichael Brown: A lot has been said about Liverpool and the title, but really that would be the easiest one of the lot to sort out.
The Norwegian is not a man to engage in 'told you so' rants but, after beating arch-rivals City, he would have been justified in replying to those who wrote him off as a manager just a couple of months ago. A display that was tactically smart and highly organised shows the direction of travel at United and, while it may be too soon to talk of more than foundations for the future, the right things are beginning to be put in place.

Liverpool celebrated receiving the title trophy for the first time in 30 years in style as the new Premier League champions overcame Chelsea in a thriller at Anfield. Jordan Henderson - currently out injured - received the trophy from Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish on a special podium built on the Kop after Jurgen Klopp's side made it three full unbeaten Premier League seasons at Anfield. Chelsea, who now need a point from their final game at home to Wolves on Sunday to confirm a place in the top four - and next season's Champions League - started well.
One option is Salomon Rondon, the 30-year-old Venezuelan who has linked up with Rafael Benitez at Dalian Yifang, as the Chinese Super League has been postponed. Paper Round’s view: Rondon can be a sluggish targetman, but he is also often a threatening focal point for sides that play direct. His finishing is acceptable without being remarkable, but having left it to such a late stage, United now need to just get through any striker rather than dither and dawdle and look for the best strikers available - they just need someone to put on a shirt and run.
Barnsley boss Gerhard Struber told BBC Sheffield:"I think in the first half, many situations on and off the ball were not like a professional team.

Your favourite player growing up was Real Madrid's Marcelo. It was a dream for me to play alongside him, like it was when I signed for Real Madrid. I signed when I was young; I didn't believe it when they called me. As a young player, I looked up to Marcelo because he plays in the same position as me. He laughs all the time too; when he plays, he enjoys it. I want to be like him. You play in lots of different positions, what's your favourite? I think I like the right-back role - but I like to go on the attack all the time.

He went back Houston for a coaching role with the Dynamos academy and has been in America ever since, criss-crossing the country with moves to different clubs and jobs.

Since the Premier League resumed in June, Willian has either scored (four) or assisted (two) six league goals in five matches - as many as he was involved in across his previous 19 league appearances beforehand. Henderson: Barely eight minutes had gone and the game was over. Liverpool punished Brighton for having the audacity to think they could outplay the champions.

The Cherries have been struggling for results on the road - they have lost nine away games in a row - but their home form has been better, plus they will be full of confidence after their recent run.

But they may take comfort from Cavani's mother's suggestions that the player wasn't about to have his head turned by a big-money offer.
