Newcastle boss Steve Bruce credited striker Carroll, who has yet to score following his summer return to the club where he made his name, with turning things around for his side. The introduction of Big Andy had glimpses today of what he had 10 years ago. He looks well at the moment, big Andy Carroll coming on was a huge help," he said.
What they are doing is where United want to be. Arsenal v West HamI was imperative West Ham beat Southampton last week, and they did. That has given them something to build on. I fancy the Hammers to get something this time too. I know Hammers boss David Moyes has never won a league game at Arsenal in 15 attempts, but I am taking him out of the equation. Their tails will be up, there will be a decent atmosphere because it is a London derby, and, if they go for it a bit, this might just be their time now where they can pick up some positive results.

Westwood flashes wide after Rodriguez heads a corner down to Wood who tees up the midfielder. McNeil's cross saw Rodriguez head towards Bardsley who attempted an acrobatic effort at goal that flew over. Spurs' play epitomised by Aderweireld stopping playing after receiving contact from Rodriguez earlier in the move.
Sheffield United weren’t given much of a chance this season, with the newly promoted club heading into the top flight after two promotions in three years. They have a comparatively tiny budget, and manager Chris Wilder refused to budge from the approach that got the Blades promoted in the first place. You can see why people were dubious about their chances.

Roma and Torino will face each other in the upcoming match in the Serie A. Roma this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 2L. Meanwhile Torino have 6W, 3D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
'Correct Score' players can try a 3-1 win for the hosts. As touched on above, The Terriers have often conceded lots of goals against top Championship teams, so Premier League Southampton can do well offensively, though the visitors have made a habit of scoring the odd goal, scoring exactly once eight times on the road, and can poach one at St Mary's.

Pepe sweeping home after great work from the impressive Bukayo Saka to set up the chance. Newcastle had chances to get back into it, with Allan Saint-Maximin hitting the post and Ciaran Clark missing a gilt-edged opening, but Ozil's first goal for 10 months from close range and Lacazette's first of Arteta's reign right at the death completed a fine afternoon for the Gunners.
The Basque team had announced on Saturday that players would be able to train individually at the Zubieta training ground from Tuesday after receiving a COVID-19 test but the club have reversed the decision after facing a backlash on social media. Spain has been under lockdown for four weeks as part of a national state of emergency to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus, although some restrictions are being lifted from Monday and some businesses are set to reopen.
Last month, the Olympic qualifying tournament featuring China, Australia, Taiwan and Thailand was hastily moved to Sydney from Wuhan, the city at the centre of the outbreak that has killed more than 2,200 people in China. China have remained in Australia since their 1-1 draw with Australia last week, which earned them a two-legged contest with South Korea.
When asked about the prospect of qualifying for Europe - a feat they achieved in 2017-18 - Dyche added: "There's a long way to go because of how thin our squad is. There are no excuses though and the mentality is good, the physicality has to remain strong. Palace fail key testIt was no disgrace for Palace to have been dismantled at Liverpool in their previous game. Most teams have left Anfield on the back of a hiding this season.
Pogba's injury restricted him to eight appearances so far this season, but he was primed to return before professional football in England was suspended because of the COVID-19 outbreak. I've been frustrated, a long time ago. Now I'm almost there, so I'm just thinking about getting back and training fully with the team and everything," the 27-year-old said in an official club podcast.
Maguire: I thought Harry Maguire was at fault for Southampton's equaliser in United's previous game. If he'd given Nemanja Matic a call then the centre-back had a free header but instead Maguire froze and allowed the ball to beat both Matic and himself. However, he seemed to put that confusion right against Crystal Palace and appeared much more commanding in his own box on set plays. There's no point being a threat in the opposition's penalty area if you can't win your headers in your own 18 yard box.
After a disappointing 15th placed finish in League Two last term, Northampton Town came into this campaign looking to play a bigger part in the promotion picture. The Cobblers have the resources needed to be a force at this level and have thus far looked fairly strong, coming into the New Year just 2 points and 2 places outside of the play-offs.
Olympiakos haven't enjoyed their Champions League campaign so far this season with just a single point for the Greek side, following their 2-2 draw with Spurs in the reverse fixture to this game. Since then they've lost twice to Bayern Munich and once to Crvena zvezda, conceding eight goals in the process. Things haven't gone well for Olympiakos and it's hard to see them getting anything from this game.
Falkenberg is going to face Hacken. The hosts of this clash are huge underdogs here but it will be the first leg of the new season in Sweden and everything is possible. The hosts were good at home in the previous season and I think that at this time they got even more chances to win against a team like Hacken. The visitors are obviously better team but no one knows how will they play in this match. I see a chance for this value pick for Falkenberg and the hosts can make a big surprise today. I pick Falkenberg to win this match
Big derby in Nicaragua, between Walter Ferreti and Real Esteli. Two very strong teams will face each other, although I must say Walter Ferretti might have little bit advantage because they are playing at home, however Real Esteli has been playing a lot better in the last couple of matches.
Cagliari is ranked 5`th with 25 points while Sampdoria is 17`th with 12 points. Sampdoria will be a bit tougher today as with Ranieri in charge, Sampdoria plays much better. Cagliari is a team with some money now and good players. The results are excellent and they are undefeated in the past 11 matches, even winning 8 of those. Cagliari will miss 2 defenders today but let's say they play with a similar lineup in the past 4 matches and they do well. Sampdoria is the second worst away side and they scored just 4 times. They will play a hard defense today but I believe they will buckle.

A relegation dogfight from Group B of the league, this fixture pits two teams trying to dodge the drop against each other.

Almagro, meanwhile, are hyperventilating in 15th, one point over last-placed Gimnasia.
That good form in front of goal is something which is especially apparentin their home matches as they have managed to score in 75% of their games on home soil and have scored two or more in three of their last four in front of their own fans.
Paper Round's view: It's been mooted for a while that Cavani would be moving to Atletico Madrid once his contract was up in the French capital. Chelsea and Manchester United became desperate to add a new striker to their ranks in January, which was reflected in the latter's strange loan deal with ex-Watford striker Odion Ighalo.
They have scored two or more goals in the last five home matches, keeping two clean sheets. In the last five at home, Manchester United have scored 14 goals and conceded just four.

The draw was introduced by UEFA's deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti, before handing the draw over to former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamman who won the UEFA Cup with the club in 2001. Manchester United secured their passage to the round-of-16 thanks to a classy 5-0 victory over Club Bruges on Thursday, bringing their aggregate score to 6-1.
The 23-year-old joined Inter from Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin last July. Valentino is a quality player who'll add to us in attacking areas of the field, where we need to improve," said Newcastle manager Steve Bruce.

After beating Bournemouth 4-0 on New Year's Day in his first game back in charge, the Hammers have drawn two and lost five in the Premier League. We certainly needed it, but I said before the game - good performances lead to results," the Scot said. We had a good performance against Liverpool, the players have been getting better, we've had really tough games, and we took it on today. The Hammers only had 34% possession but they created more chances than Southampton and should have won by a larger margin.
It leaves Tottenham ninth, one point behind north London rivals Arsenal, who they face on Sunday. Reaction to Thursday's Premier League actionCan Cherries conjure escape act?Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe says his love for the club is the driving factor behind his desire to extend their five-year stay in the top flight, having guided the Cherries from the fourth tier to the Premier League over two spells as manager.
Welcome to the next game in Taiwan. Here NTUPS and Ming Chuanface each other. The host is the favorite. Indirect comparison, they have not lost against today's guest in the last 6 games. They won 4 times. I expect that they will not prevail and they will not lose either. The guest is also in good shape. The bookmakers see a clear advantage for NTUPS but I don't share this opinion. Ming chuan won the last direct duel away at Tainan 1-0 a few weeks ago. At home, NTUPS has only lost twice in the last 26 games - they have never lost to Tainan! So I think this time a tough and tight game will be present.
Premier League to pursue home and and away games if possibleNew era for academy players?Victor Orta is director of football at Leeds United, who are a point clear at the top of the Championship with nine games to play and so are yet to discover if they will be recruiting with a Championship or Premier League budget. We've been using this time to do more video analysis of players," he said. In a normal situation this happens, just not in May because we normally know where we are.
That is the Holy Grail for him. He wants to win the Champions League again. Guardiola won the Champions League as Barcelona boss in 2009 and 2011 but failed to do so during a three-year spell at Bayern Munich and at City, where he took over in 2016. The Spaniard has previously said his time in Manchester will be considered a "failure" if he does not win the competition. Asked if Guardiola should remain loyal to the club despite the ban, Gullit, who was speaking before the Laureus World Sports Awards in Berlin on Monday, added: "Do you have to be loyal to something that hasn't been done well? I don't know, that is up to him.

Will Bale return? It feels as though Gareth Bale has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid ever since he moved to Spain. This January, the rumours will resurface as to whether Bale will see out the season at Real or return to England after more than six years away.

We knew immediately after the Napoli game we have a final, and we have to make sure we are prepared for a final. We always had to do it the hard way, I can't remember one time when it was, 'Oh fine, done' a week before. We're at least used to that. Liverpool will guarantee a place in the last 16 with a draw or if Napoli lose to Genk but may need a win to top the group and avoid one of the European heavyweights in the knockout round and Klopp said they would play for a victory.
MADRID, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid were once world-renowned for their fitness levels but as they host Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday that reputation is in tatters after a glut of injuries and a decline in performances. The Spanish side have reported 19 injuries this season, with players missing more than 90 matches to the detriment of the team, who are enduring their worst season in eight years under coach Diego Simeone.
It is not as if it is particularly hard to work out where things have gone wrong either as the Halifax have been leaking goals on a regular basis and have conceded a massive 13 times in their last four matches. The signs do not look good and although there may be a chance of a response from the 5-1 drubbing they suffered on Boxing Day, the fact that they have lost as many matches as they have won on home soil does not exactly inspire confidence.

In terms of money, each of those decisions will be worth tens of millions of pounds. Clubs may litigate to resolve any perceived unfairness or contractual ambiguity, for example. Players may do the same over lost earnings if contracts do not cover these circumstances. Ticket sales bring in hundreds of millions of pounds and may be lost entirely.
Fifteen more points will wrap-up the trophy and the only question is when, not if, Liverpool will be crowned as English champions for the first time in 30 years. It's so insane I don't understand it," Klopp said. I'm not smart enough, it's difficult. Never had that before and I've no clue how it happened really.
Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off. The problem is not as serious as first feared, however, though the Argentinean will still be absent when the champions face their great rivals on 7th December. A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.
Hertha Berlin boss Jurgen Klinsmann has said that there is "no problem" with his coaching licence, after reports claimed it was no longer valid. German newspaper Bild claimed the ex-Germany and USA boss, 55, may not have been allowed on the touchline for Sunday's match against Bayern Munich. Klinsmann says the licence is at his Californian home and paperwork was sent to the German Football Association.

It was Arsenal all the way for me. Watford v Norwich (18:00 BST)Between them, the bottom four teams in the Premier League have taken only three points from the last 60 available - at least one of them will get some points from this one, though.
