He will have had his frustrations and let go of his cool but instead he kept his composure and came back. If United were to do an award for their most improved player he would win it. There are a lot more players in worse circumstances than Dier who every week know there is going to be one, a hundred or thousands of people who will pick them out because they're an easy target to do that.
The cynic in The Warm-Up suggests this is the perfect PR storm for Jose to cook up in order to win over a sceptical fan base. But for now let’s just enjoy this for the wholesome content it is.

The 6,000-mile trip to China for the Premier League Asia Trophy, which Wolves won, was perfect preparation for long midweek journeys that lay ahead in the Europa League. Having visited Armenia, Slovakia, Turkey, Greece, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy in the Europa League, Wolves have covered 29,000 miles in round trips to domestic and European games. Last August, 48 fans made the 6,370-mile round journey to Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, to see their side beat Pyunik 4-0 in a third qualifying round tie.

Given the nature of this group, it would be easy to assume that this will be a goal-filled game. The early market certainly feels that there'll be no shortage of goals at Groupama Stadium on Tuesday evening, but it might just pay to take the opposing view. Leipzig know that a draw is all they need, so they may just take a cautious approach. It seems even more likely that the visitors will avoid being too cavalier after an attacking approach got them caught out in the reverse fixture. What's more, three of Lyon's five games in Group G have seen less than three goals go in, as did Leipzig's most recent traveling UCL fixture.

The Ligue Un team have identified the 19-year-old defender as a target as his contract runs out at the end of the season, and have offered him a pre-contract deal.
The visitors went ahead when Roma fullback Alessandro Florenzi sent a pass straight to a Torino player and the ball was floated over to Belotti who took his time before firing an unstoppable shot past Pau Lopez. Sirigu made a superb point-blank save from Pellegrini in the second half but it was an otherwise uninspired display from Roma.

But Chelsea held on to maintain their top-four berth and now have a four point gap over fifth-placed Tottenham. TALKING POINT - Giovani Lo Celso should have been sent off The VAR officials at Stockley Park admitted they should have sent Lo Celso off for his clear stamp on Azpilicueta earlier on and said it was not a VAR error but a human error.
Everton have only kept one clean sheet in their past 17 away games in the Premier League, conceding at least two goals in 10 of these fixtures. Wolves have now kept a clean sheet in five of their past six Premier League games at Molineux (W3 D2 L1), as many as they had in their previous 18 combined. Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has scored with all six of the penalties he has taken in the Premier League; only Yaya Toure (11), Dimitar Berbatov (nine), Jan Molby (seven) and Rickie Lambert (seven) have a better 100% ratio in the competition.
Tivoli Gardens will host Molynes United for this fixture of the league. These two teams showed a poor results in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. However, Molynes have fallen into a very poor show. They have five consecutive losses. Also, we have Tivoli Gardens who's is one of the main outsiders in this league. True, in last game Tivoli is won 0-1 against Dunbeholden. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors have a more motivation to win. Molynes will try to break the poor series.
Bayern Munich need two wins from their last four games to win an eighth straight Bundesliga title after hitting back to beat Bayer Leverkusen. Hansi Flick's side have lost just once in their past 21 games in all competitions but did it the hard way after trailing at Leverkusen. Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry all netted in the first half following Lucas Alario's opener. Robert Lewandowski headed in his 30th league goal of the season.
Arsenal played out a drab 0-0 draw with Everton last time out which was interim boss Freddie Ljungberg’s parting match. The Gunners have just one win from 13 games in all competitions, hence the appointment of Arteta, and they come up against Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth who have lost six of their last 8 games with wins against Manchester United and Chelsea in between.

Brazil 1982 team to reunite in coronavirus fight Members of Brazil’s 1982 World Cup squad have reunited to ask their compatriots to work together and donate money to help the country’s overcrowded favelas avoid the worst ravages of the coronavirus.
The purest example of this was the goal he scored coming off the bench against Norwich back in February to lead the Reds to a 1-0 win at Carrow Road. Much has been made of Liverpool's lack of relative creativity in central areas, and there is truth in that. None of their starting midfield would be described as true ball players, but Mane is a central midfield player's dream, as that Norwich goal demonstrated.
But while the Amex was obviously lacking in fervent home support, this did not hamper Albion's appetite for the fight or ability to rouse themselves after a setback. Pepe's opener was a hammer blow, especially coming at a time in the game when the league's three-month absence due to the coronavirus pandemic would have started to take its physical toll on the players. But they dug deep and found parity through Dunk, who took advantage of some Arsenal hesitancy in their own box to poke the ball in after it had ricocheted his way.

On paper, Barcelona have more than enough in the tank to win this fixture comfortably. Yet, they have been held back on the pitch by mismanagement away from it. We expect a close scoreline. Back Valladolid with a plus-two handicap.
Having so many new players, so many new pieces, bringing in Anthony (Davis). He spent seven years in New Orleans, so he was coming into a new system playing along with myself and how we would be able to come together. I thought it would take us a lot longer than it did, but I was wrong. Hancock hails players' efforts Health Secretary Matt Hancock has applauded the Premier League players' initiative to raise funds for the NHS.

Antonio Rudiger: The German international's return to the Chelsea line-up, after a long lay-off through injury, was always going to be significant for Frank Lampard and Chelsea - and so it proved against Spurs. Rudiger has always been incredibly competitive in his performances but the way he marshalled his defence and dealt with the threat of Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dele Alli was quite extraordinary.
I watched the reverse fixture between them earlier this season at Gent who had the lead by half-time of the game with no less than 4-0, while in the second half they did not really wanted to waste any more energy conceded a goal and scored two more late goals to win with 6-1 in the end against Eupen so a win by them with no less than 5 goals difference with 6 goals scored by them, and they are on 2nd place fighting for the title and cannot afford to lose points here.
In recent meetings between these two sides, PSG have really dominated. They are unbeaten in their last 19 matches against St Etienne but in the last five they have been scoring a lot of goals. PSG have scored three or more goals in four of the last six meetings with St Etienne. Looking at St Etienne’s form, especially away from, we don’t feel there will be a big variation from this. The easier pick is a win for PSG here but that will not offer great odds; we will thus go for over 2.5 goals in this clash.
With football halted across the globe, however, FIFA is aware that it may well have to deal with a series of different agreements and possible complaints, and its guidelines urge any cuts to be "proportionate". FIFA's Coronavirus working group met last week and agreed on a wide range of issues, summarised in the document, including that player contracts due to run out in June should be extended to the end of any resumed season.
Koulibaly is another option for the defence. Chelsea do have a fair selection of centre-backs already, but Christiansen and arguably Zouma have fallen short this year, so another solid central defender might fit nicely and would likely guarantee a top 4 place. However, as with Man City, they will have to compete with a fair few other clubs for his signature.
