Alisson reminds me of Ray Clemence, who also was a great Liverpool goalkeeper and title winner. Alisson, like Clemence, makes goalkeeping look easy and produces crucial saves when it matters. They also understand the confidence a clean sheet can have on their defenders' morale. Alisson is worth every penny of the £66. Liverpool paid for him, and probably worth considerably more now. You can read more about Liverpool's title winners in the Crooks of the Matter below.
Hull City have never beaten Chelsea. Hull City have not had the best of runs this season and as they host Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup, they will be hoping to better things. In the Championship, Hull are 12th with 39 points from 28 matches while Chelsea are fourth with 40 points after 24 matches.
Belenenses have only scored 6 goals at home so far this season while Setubal have netted just 4 times on the road, so you can see why we aren’t expecting both teams to score and why we feel this match has a good chance of ending 0-0. The hosts have failed to score in 43% of their home games while Setubal have failed to score in 71% of their away games, with 31% of the visitors league games ending goalless.
It could be time to load up on Sheffield United defenders - only Leicester (eight) can beat their record of seven clean sheets this season, while wing-backs Enda Stevens and George Baldock have five assists and three goals between them. Another 9-0?It was the most remarkable scoreline of the season so far - Leicester City went to Southampton on 25 October and whacked them 9-0. If you're a horses-for-courses kind of person you may well consider bringing in Ayoze Perez for this weekend.

Meyer N/A KEY MOMENTS 66' - CLOSE! Almost a goal from straight from a corner. Aanholt's delivery is over everyone but Dubravka misjudges the flight of the ball and it almost sneaks in at the far post. BENTEKE DENIED!

He has scored seven times in all competitions this campaign. Other options include midfielder Dele Alli or academy graduate striker Troy Parrott, although Mourinho said on Tuesday that he felt the latter was "not ready". Defensive issues for LeipzigLeipzig are enjoying their second Champions League campaign, with 32-year-old coach Julian Nagelsmann steering them to the last 16 for the first time in his debut season in charge.
I need my coffee on a morning and with four kids, I get up a bit earlier. But I still enjoy getting up and getting ready to go to work. Giggsy did his yoga but I have never been a big stretcher. I have always seemed to be able to walk on the pitch and hit balls and not really needed to warm-up that much. And I won't be going vegan. I like my meat. It has gone quickly though, especially after I got to 30.
All bar one of Norwich City's home league games this season have seen both teams score. Between them these two clubs have scored 42 goals and conceded 80. Bournemouth have conceded in five of their last six away league goals. It's a desperate time for bottom-of-the-table Norwich City who start the weekend eight points from safety.

Spurs finished second, their position secure before the game started, but Jose Mourinho will have learned little from his second-string side being beaten by a similarly weakened Bayern. Talking point - Ryan Sessegnon could be Mourinho’s new favourite Sessegnon started life as a left-back and his defensive ability will endear him to the usually-conservative Mourinho.
So soon after equalling a Serie A goalscoring record at the weekend, Cristiano Ronaldo has been brought crashing back down to earth on a night of Champions League frustration. The hope was when Ronaldo joined Juve in July 2018 he would be the man to help the Bianconeri finally end a wait for glory on Europe's top stage that now stretches 24 years. It's not going to plan. Having scored in a record-equalling 11th consecutive league match in Saturday's win over SPAL, the Portugal forward looked ready to head into Wednesday evening's game away at Lyon with goals and the quarter-finals on his mind.
Chelsea further strengthened their position in the Premier League's top four with victory over Crystal Palace in an entertaining encounter at Selhurst Park, that included a stunning long-range strike from Wilfried Zaha and a rare goal from Christian Benteke. There was an element of fortune about the game's opening goal, with Palace defender Gary Cahill pulling up with a match-ending injury to allow Willian to charge into the box unimpeded and set up Olivier Giroud to finish.
Speaking in his first news conference ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash against West Ham United, Mourinho said the club's door will always be open for Pochettino, who guided Spurs to the Champions League final last season. I have to congratulate him on the incredible job he did," Mourinho said on Thursday.
Sheffield Wednesday have no clean sheet in the last four away matches. West Brom have conceded 10 goals in the last five home matches. West Brom are unbeaten in seven matches against Sheffield. Sheffield Wednesday have scored in seven of their last 10 matches. West Brom have scored 15 goals in their last five home matches.
With the top two facing each other this weekend, Stuttgart could climb into second place. However, their away form is nothing to write home about with another poor defeat last weekend. Holstein struggle at home too and there aren't that many goals being scored. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
On the face of it this would seem fairer as each side has played the same number of games and played the same teams. But it means almost every game played from December 2019 onwards is discounted while sides who may have strengthened as the season has gone on, had influential players return from injury or had a new manager take over and improve fortunes are not accounted for. It could also be argued that it is not fair for sides who may have played more away games than home games, and what about those who may or may not have had long away trips? For example Harrogate lost 4-2 on their longest away trip to Torquay in this period, but had they played the game at Wetherby Road, their 2-1 win over the Gulls in Yorkshire would had counted.
It happens like that. I can see why people lose it to drink and gambling because there's no release. It can be difficult. I know how fortunate I am to have these things to keep me busy, otherwise I'd be losing it as well. Definitely a problem for retired players' Podcast regulars Peter Crouch (centre), Tom Fordyce and Chris Stark return for That Peter Crouch Podcast series threePodcast regulars Chris Stark and Tom Fordyce also return and Crouch is asked whether there is a lack of support for players once they retire, what he misses most in football and why he owes a lot to Clarets boss Sean Dyche.
A smart goal and Spurs have a mountain to climb now. SAVE! After something of a scramble in the box, Dier's clearance is blocked by Schick and looks to be going in - but Lloris claws the ball away from danger. PENALTY APPEAL! Moura breezes past his man on the left and cuts the ball back for Alli, who has a promising chance but can't divert the ball towards the far corner, where it would have been harder to save.
TALKING POINT Is Champions League football on the cards for Solskjaer? After much of the first half of the season saw United face derision, and their fans a thousand wheel gifs, at the decision to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they now stand in seventh place, four points from a top-four place which they probably would have taken back in August.
One lasting creation from this season was the Pools Panel, which for five weekends running in 1963 provided results for postponed games and has continued to do so ever since. A little bit of history repeating in Italy? Serie A is currently suspended, with Lazio second to leaders JuventusSignificant and impactful suspensions or cancellations are not unique to English football, though. Other countries have suffered them too, including one notable occasion in Italy from over a century ago, which remains mired in controversy to this day and will be of particular interest to modern Lazio fans.
But United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident that the only way is up for Greenwood. He is just going to be better and better," he said after the teenager scored his latest goal in 3-0 win against Watford on 23 February. In a couple of years' time he will be more or less the complete number nine. The most immediate target, however, will be a start in Sunday's Manchester derby. Getting the winner in that would only strengthen Manchester United fans' belief that they have a potential club legend in their ranks.

Premier League - to do the same by the end of the week. What has happened so far?Health secretary Matt Hancock was among the leading politicians calling for players to take a pay cut and "play their part. The league wants players to take a 30% salary cut in order to "protect employment throughout the professional game". But the union says that equates to more than £500m in wage reductions over 12 months, and a loss in tax contributions of more than £200m to the UK government.
I made changes, I think the changes helped to improve the game in the last half but we didn't score. On the penalty decision by VAR: "The same referee who did the VAR decision against Sheffield United - Michael Oliver. Opinions matter. It's not only mine, everybody knows that is a penalty and when I say everybody, I mean everybody. Everybody. Lerma fails to learn yellow card lesson - the statsBournemouth ended a five-game losing run in the Premier League while also keeping their first clean sheet in 17 matches in the competition.
They dominated in the middle, too, even after James Ward-Prowse's move to right-back following Cedric Soares' first-half withdrawal due to injury. And after Redmond opened the scoring with a brilliant finish, they rarely looked back, with Armstrong testing Palace keeper Vicente Guaita several times before eventually beating him early in the second half.
It's not cool," he said. Balo can leave Brescia Italian striker Mario Balotelli can leave Brescia on a free transfer in January as his game is not suited to a relegation scrap, the Serie A club's president Massimo Cellino has said. The former Manchester City and Liverpool forward has struggled to find form since joining Brescia in August, scoring two goals in eight league appearances.
Ahead of him, Olivier Giroud is good but not good enough, a useful substitute but never a first-choice forward, while Tammy Abraham’s early season form surprised everyone; his subsequent drop looks like a regression to his natural level, rather than the calm before a further storm. Of course, a number of these players will improve, but few of them look likely to improve enough.
The Buccaneers have won their last three games. The Lions have lost five in a row. The Lions have only won two home games this season.

It is perhaps surprising for an industry which derives so much of its revenue from broadcasting deals, and which receives more media coverage than any other sport or indeed business, that there has been such a mixed message. What's happened is about football's failure to operate with one voice and without overall leadership.
