We need to find a solution to that. It will be a different challenge. We are Liverpool, we are always under pressure and we are always expected to deliver. If Chelsea make changes, I don't know if they will, it will still be a very experienced team. It's the last 16 of the FA Cup and we want to go through. That's the plan. MATCH FACTSHead-to-headThis is the first FA Cup meeting between the clubs since the 2012 final, which Chelsea won 2-1.

He then piled further misery on the hosts six minutes after the restart, running half the length of the pitch, shaking off one defender and curling a low shot past the Roma keeper for a 3-1 lead. Henrikh Mkhitaryan made it 3-2 in the 72nd but Roma were left with 10 men after Bryan Cristante was sent off in the 84th minute.
But if you were, it would be the manner of this Liverpool victory that suggests they appear certainties to win the Premier League. Like in recent victories against Tottenham, Manchester United and Wolves, Klopp's side were far from their best. While they dominated possession they showed little end product until Salah's penalty but it was still good enough to deliver a 23rd victory from 24 matches - taking them to 70 points before January is out.
They are neither here nor there. What I'm absolutely certain about is they are not a good enough to keep the likes of Mesut Ozil out of the team. One bright spark though in a ordinary Arsenal side is stand-in goal keeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentine came into the side at a difficult time for the injured Bernd Leno and he produced a superb one handed save from Southampton's Danny Ings when Arsenal were under immense pressure.
In an extensive interview with Spanish newspaper AS, Barnnett confirmed that Bale was keen to move to China but his club Real Madrid would not agree to a sale.

The two sides came into the game in poor form, with Bournemouth having lost six of their last seven and Arsenal only winning once since beating Bournemouth 1-0 at the Emirates on October 6. Arsenal's sloppiness was punished when they gave the ball away cheaply on the left wing and Bournemouth sliced through them quickly, midfielder Dan Gosling stabbing home Jack Stacey's centre from close range to give the home side the lead.
We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair. Both teams are in decent form right now, not losing many matches, and both have been finding the back of the net on a regular basis. Guimaraes offer a bigger goalscoring threat but the hosts have only conceded two goals in their last three league games, so we feel the pair will cancel each other out this weekend.
Sunderland beat Bristol Rovers 3-0 in their last meeting, but we don’t expect such a big score line again, looking at Sunderland’s away record. They have scored one or none in 14 of their last 15 away matches. Sunderland have never lost to Bristol in their four previous meetings, actually they have won all. The two sides have not been scoring first half goals in their most recent matches and we can predict a continuation of this. A 1-0 win for Sunderland will be a good pick here.
The Rossoneri have lost to all of the top five so far, conceding 12 goals across those games, including eight goals in three away defeats. This Cagliari side have hung in around the top six all season, while they will be out to prove their rise by taking out the fallen giants this weekend. The Sardinians have had their own problems at the top – losing to the top three – but otherwise, their home record is five wins from seven.
It is also more than any club in Europe's big five league's has managed after 21 games, and the way things are going the title might be wrapped up by Easter. Yet Klopp was subdued after Saturday's win -- disappointed his side had not dispatched Jose Mourinho's faltering Tottenham Hotspur side with ease after a dominant first half.
Under Solskjaer, United have won 73% of the Premier League games in which they have had less possession than their opponents, compared to just 36% when they have enjoyed more. In the first half it could have easily have been my testimonial," added United's Norwegian boss. It was very subdued, slow, no urgency, no tempo and the only encouragement their crowd got was when we gave them set-plays. And we gifted them two goals in the second half as well.
Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion squandered the chance to go four points clear at the top as relegation-threatened Stoke City held on for victory at The Hawthorns. The Potters pulled off the best win so far of new manager Michael O'Neill's brief reign after Tyrese Campbell's early goal lifted the lowly Potters four points above the bottom three. Hampered by the early loss of on-loan creative influence Grady Diangana, the Baggies were blunted by a disciplined defensive display from the visitors.
Zone7 states it can provide accurate and timely alerts for 75% of injuries. Getafe's success in avoiding injuries before they happen Getafe played their last match before La Liga's postponement against Celta Vigo on 7 MarchSpanish side Getafe are fifth in La Liga, level on points with Real Sociedad despite having a bottom-half wage budget, and some of their success is down to the regular availability of their trim squad.
Shaw's torrid performance epitomised United's display. Their defence was all over the place and in midfield they couldn't string a pass together. Solskjaer was hoping for a third consecutive victory which would have marked United's best run since his initial hot-streak but from the first whistle it was evident this wasn't going to be their day.
That gave Bournemouth fresh hope and Brooks set up a frenetic finish when Callum Wilson burst forward and found Brooks clear in front of goal to slot home. The duo combined again deep in injury time, but Wilson saw his shot roll wide and his side's hopes of salvaging a point were over.

Even this odds are just amazing on over 2,5 in this duel from Burundi elite league, I will still be here on small number of goals, because mostly of home team. So, Dynamic is local club, who is call same as basketball club from Belgrade, is team who is playing very defensive in last few weeks. In last five duels, this team is played with just one goal per match and in that period, they are played 1-0, 0-1, 1-0, 0-1 and 0-1. Of course, that is main reason for this bet and I will try that. Aigle is similar team like rival.

In his statement announcing the decision, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy highlighted the examples set across Europe, with Bayern Munich and Juventus players high-profile examples of squads taking pay-cuts. Of course Levy’s surely heartfelt plea would probably land better were it not for the fact that it was recently announced that his own salary as the highest-paid Premier League executive had jumped up to £7 million per year, including a £3 million bonus for the opening of Tottenham’s new stadium, which as a reminder was eight months late and over budget.

Atalanta are into the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the first time but have asked fans not to gather at the airport to welcome the players home.
It was clearly misunderstood and it was said in the attempt to downplay an excessive media exposure and aimed at protecting the player. Brescia, who lost 3-0 to Roma at the weekend, are bottom of Serie A, four points from safety after two wins from their opening 12 matches.

Against Sheffield United? A tap-in from inside the six-yard box. Against Chelsea? A run from inside his own half – but only made possible after a hopeless second touch wasn't pounced upon by a slipping N'Golo Kante. On the flip side, he scored a screamer against Nottingham Forest to announce himself to Arsenal fans and struck twice in that crazy 5-5 thriller with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, goals that helped him become a first-team regular at the Emirates.

I think it will be pretty interesting to watch this duel from Spain Primera and I believe that Slaves, or home team, is have pretty good chances to win this duel. This team is for a start, in very good form and in last two matches at home they are won. One more fact is there very important and that is fact that Valencia is playing rematch in Champions league at home against Atalanta and they are preparing for the duel. They will not play this match with their strongest team, so everything is pretty clear here - home team is have solid chances.
