The outcome, never truly in doubt, was assured in the 68th minute when a blocked shot from David Silva fell to Rodri on the edge of the box and the Spanish midfielder blasted a thundering, unstoppable drive past goalkeeper Nick Pope to make it 3-0. City substitute Riyad Mahrez made it four, three minutes from the end, with a low shot from the edge of the box but Guardiola will be disappointed that his team allowed Robbie Brady a late consolation goal for the home side.
Although it's early days in the partnership, they remind me of Bryan Robson and Ray Wilkins and the way they used to link up and influence the play. If Fernandes and Pogba can have the same influence as Robson and Wilkins then good times are certainly on the horizon at Old Trafford. Did you know? Since making his Premier League debut at the start of February, no Manchester United player has been directly involved in more goals than Fernandes (six - joint-high along with Anthony Martial).
Despite being at home, Central Coast come into this game as underdogs and that’s probably reflective of the outcome of this game. We think Perth Glory should take all three points and with the visitors being in such good goalscoring form we’re backing Perth Glory to come away with all three points.
But they have failed to score more than once in 24 of their 31 Championship fixtures and were unable to grab an equaliser despite piling on the pressure in a fine second-half performance. Relive Saturday's EFL action as it happenedWigan had pulled themselves to within two points of safety following impressive back-to-back victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds. However, they came up against a classy Preston side who climb back into the play-offs at the expense of Bristol City who lost at home to Birmingham on Friday.
TALKING POINT Rejuvenated Arsenal produce best display of their season. There had been signs of vast improvements under Arteta in Arsenal's defeat to Chelsea on Sunday before they ran out of steam, but rather than dwell on Frank Lampard's late show, they started like a steam train. Pepe was given just five minutes to impress as a late substitute that day, however, Arteta will be glad he took a chance on him by handing him a rare start.
The Burundi league has only 4 matches left to close the season and the teams are trying hard to complete their goals, including host Olympic Star. After 26 games, Olympic Star players are ranked 13th in the rankings with 30 points, standing close to the group holding the red light with a distance of 3 points more.
Wilson missed a glorious chance to equalise midway through the second half but could not connect with Ryan Fraser’s low cross, before the visitors were given their technology-assisted lifeline. Godfrey looked to have got away with a scything tackle on Wilson, but Tierney changed his mind after heading to the monitor.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Kojo's prediction: 1-0 Arsenal v Man Utd (20:00)Arsenal are the poorest I have seen them for many, many years. They simply cannot defend and their defensive issues are not going to be resolved anytime soon. Mikel Arteta has his work cut out trying to sort it all out. That said, I think this will be an open game and I see them getting something against Manchester United. United have had a good festive programme so far but they have their own fragilities.
Dundee United's first two games of the year ended on positive notes, picking up six points in 1-0 and 4-1 wins, cementing their place at the top of the Championship table and extending their lead to 17 points.
Sheffield Wednesday have scored in eight of their last 10 matches. Sheffield have no win in their last four away matches. Charlton have conceded at least two goals in five of their last six matches. Sheffield have not won in their last five matches. Charlton have not won in their last six matches. As the Championship continues this weekend, 17th placed Charlton will be at home to host 10th placed Sheffield Wednesday.
The fiery encounter did not have a damaging impact on the outcome of the game, however, as Bayern beat Real 2-1 before going on to reach the final, which they lost to Chelsea. Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic and Aboubakar Kamara clashed over a penalty kickMitrovic v Kamara, 2019This one is included for the somewhat bizarre nature of the spat, which started on the pitch and ended in a yoga session. The initial clash happened in Fulham's Premier League game with Huddersfield in December 2018.
Sadly, we cannot. End-of-Year Truths: VAR has lost the dressing room; Liverpool could be the best ever Unfortunately, we must instead discuss VAR once more, and its impact on this game we call association football. For those who did not see the match, Sadio Mane’s goal for Liverpool against Wolves was initially ruled out for handball against Adam Lallana, only for VAR to correctly overrule that initial decision.
Cubanga have gone ten league games without a win. Academicia have won three of their last four away league games. Cubanga have only won one home league game this season. The fight against relegation continues for Cubanga. They are 14th in the Girabola and two points from safety and host Academica who are sixth in the table.
Last term was a bit of a failure for Hamburg as against all odds they failed to promote mostly because of very poor results they had in the ending of the season and they brought the ex-coach of Gladbach from last season to the club, but they are still not winning enough points to be sure they will promote, still same attacking minded side which against weak defenses often scores plenty.
AZ are clear favorites here and with their recent run, playing at home adds to their advantage. They have been scoring freely and taking on a side struggling away from home will work well for them. In the last three home games AZ have averaged four goals, and Partizan have no clean sheet in the last four Europa League away games. Partizan have also failed to score in the last two Europa League matches. They have just one clean sheet in six away matches. We predict a 4-0 win for AZ here.
They're out in front of the competition thanks to their goal difference. A 4-0 opening home win over Sangju Sangmu was followed by a thrilling 3-2 victory away to Suwon Bluewings. Brazilian forward Junior Negrao has four goals from the opening matches, receiving the player of the round award for both rounds played thus far.

Dinamo Moscow has made great strides this year, especially in the later part of the season. So far, Dinamo has won a total of 30 points through 8 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses. With the distance to the 5th place of CSKA being 6 points while there is still 1 match in hand, it is clear that Dinamo's ambition of Europe is still very bright. Before the tournament was interrupted in March, Dinamo had a series of 2 consecutive victories. As their match in the previous round was postponed, the biggest problem for Dinamo now is whether they can maintain their form after a break of more than 3 months. But it may also be an advantage for them, the careful preparation can lead Dinamo to victory in the upcoming derby.

Media playback is not supported on this device Raheem Sterling: "The only disease right now is the racism that we're fighting" Richards said he felt unable to speak up about racism during his career for fear of repercussions. At times I felt scared to speak out about what was right and what was wrong," he added. I didn't want to say anything out of line because I felt it would affect my career. Every time I was asked about it, I would always say my piece but looking back over my career there have certainly been times I have not come out and said what I wanted because of the repercussions I felt would happen to me in terms of how people would perceive me.
Al Hilal are champions of Asia and make their first appearance in the competition, while Esperance, African champions are making a third appearance. Al Hilal beat Urawa Reds in November to get their ticket here and Esperance are here courtesy of their controversial win over Wydad Casablanca. Coming to this game, Al Hilal carry an impressive form from their domestic action.
The home side huffed and puffed, but without intensity or conviction, and the tens of thousands of empty seats, well before the final whistle, showed just how comfortable Burnley were. They are now well set to secure another season the top flight; United, meanwhile, are in all sorts. TALKING POINT Is this it? It feel harsh to judge Solskjaer when he's without his best striker and his two best midfielders; when United's owners have denied him the money any manager would need to make the team competitive.
With Newcastle conceding in nine of their last 10 home FA Cup games and given their high scoring history here, we expect goals at St James’ Park this week, Dale have seen over 2.5 goals in 77% of their trips in League One this term, mostly due to the fact they’ve conceded 1.8 goals per trip. We expect that form to be exposed against top-flight opposition, so we’re backing over 2.5 goals along with a 3-1 victory for the Magpies – who have scored three in four of their last five home victories in this competition.
