Solskjær expects Pogba to stay at United: countdown to the weekend – live! | Soccer

Sad news in Argentina, where it is reported that the father of Emiliano Sala, Horacio, died at 58 years.

Here is the report of the Press Association:

Emiliano Sala's father died a few months after the murder of the footballer in a plane crash in the English Channel, a politician said. Horacio Sala, 58, died at home in Progreso, in the Argentine province of Santa Fe, local media reported on Friday.

The 28-year-old Argentinian footballer, who signed for the city of Cardiff, disappeared with the Piper Malibu pilot after crashing in waters north of Guernsey on 21 January. The mayor of Progreso, Julio Muller, announced on La Red radio the death of Mr Sala.

"Horacio's partner called me at five in the morning. The doctors were already there. When he left home, he was already dead, "Muller said, according to local media reports. "He could never overcome Emi's death."

Muller cited "a heart problem" for the father's death. The remains of Emiliano Sala were found on February 6 after a private search, but the pilot, David Ibbotson, 59, of Crowle, Lincolnshire, is still missing.

The father said that he was "desperate" after the underwater search found the plane crashed. "I can not believe it, it's a dream, a bad dream, I'm desperate," Sala told local broadcaster Cronica TV.

Mauricio Pochettino spoke to Sky Sports before his press conference to preview Spurs v West Ham. He says his Spurs team is fully focused on the Premier League game and that Ajax can wait, although it suggests that some players might be rested.

"I think we need to focus heavily on West Ham only. It's a huge derby for us and our fans. It's so important for us to keep our position in the top four. Although we must not forget Tuesday, we must be competitive on Saturday. This is the most important game for us. West Ham deserved more against Manchester United. They were better than Manchester United. It's a derby, you do not know what's going to happen. Our decisions [for selection] must be right. Some players need to badess if they pose a risk. But we will train our best team. We have to win all three games to be in the top four and what happens in the other clubs is not in our hands. It will be difficult to get three points because Manuel [Pellegrini] does a great job. He is one of the greatest football managers. I hope we will have three points as this gives us the best opportunity to get ready for Tuesday night.

The weekend officially begins when our first preview of the match is put online. So, thanks to Watford v Wolves! It's a rehearsal for this magnificent FA Cup semifinal. Here are the news from your team here:

Thanks, Will. Spoiler alert: Huddersfield can beat Liverpool by scoring more goals than they. You will have to think of something else to say later.

Good news for everyone! Gregg is back! But do not worry, I'll come back later to conclude and explain how Huddersfield can win tonight.

Manuel Pellegrini takes stock of Jack Wilshere's physical condition and says he is available to face the Spurs this weekend.

Pellegrini told Sky Sports: "Jack normally works with the entire team. he has no pain in his ankle. he will be on the list tomorrow. Next season, I think Jack will have an important role in our team. "

A little more Dyche after Burnley's back-office staff started the evening with the Chelsea management team on Monday night. You'll be happy to know that everyone's favorite bouncer is not in favor of this kind of thing and that the file is closed!

"Both parties decided that it was a moment of emotion, something extraordinary," Dyche said. "The fact is that it is not presented as a good thing, we do not tolerate melees and all that, but these are two groups that have been interested."

Dyche added: "They care about wanting to enter the Champions League, we want to get a vital point to seal almost our place in the Premier League. In the end, this is not the right choice but two groups that are deeply interested in what is happening and there is nothing else than that. We have absolutely no problem with that. It's done and dusted. It's one of those things.

This is the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Lyon this weekend. The first leg in France ended with a 2-1 win over hosts, but Chelsea certainly showed their quality against Lyon.

Midfielder Karen Carney is supporting her current Chelsea team to match the success of the Arsenal team she was part of more than a decade ago.

Carney, 31, was part of the only English team to win a European honor by winning the Uefa Women's Cup – the forerunner of the Champions League – in 2007 with Arsenal. The English international scored in the return match of the 3-0 win of the Gunners Semifinal on Brondby and is aiming for the same result with a selection showing some of the features of this Arsenal team.

"I just hope the result will be the same," she said when asked to remember her success 12 years ago. I do not care if it's me or anyone else who scores, I just want to go to the final.

"It's really funny, we have the same conversation all the time. The Arsenal team that won it has so many similarities with this current team. It's actually a joke. The similarities are simply incredible, the characters, the people, the personalities. The grain and the determination.

"I see a lot of this team and the characteristics of this team and I hope that the team will continue to be itself and when it comes to the match on Sunday, it will express itself and I will be happy. would like the same result. "

"My kids never go to the Champions League games, but they want to go."

Our man in Spain, Sid Lowe, spoke to Luis Suárez from Liverpool, Barcelona and Messi's neighbor.

For your pleasure when you want to procrastinate …

Good news for Manchester United: Ander Herrera has resumed training after missing the last six games due to a thigh injury. The absence of the Basque midfielder has been noticed in recent weeks, a possible sign of what will happen when he will leave almost certainly in summer.

Manchester City will travel on Sunday to Turf Moor for what is, on paper, the most difficult confrontation of its last three games. Burnley had the impression of engaging in a relegation battle at this point in the season, but they have reversed the trend in recent months and moved away from Cardiff and Brighton.

Sean Dyche said during his pre-match press conference: "We did not just get out of trouble, we scored more goals than most other teams. The essential for me was the consistency of our performance. "

Dyche noticed that the city was pretty good but I'm sure he would like to claim his scalp.

"Manchester City is a top face," added Dyche. "We want to play the game and at least prove that we can play against the elite teams.

"The top six are in front of us, but we look forward to it, especially in front of our own fans."

Hello! We traded Liverpool support against Manchester City support to get the balance right as we approached a huge weekend in the title race. No chance to say that we are biased here.

Okay, I'm going to have a break then Will Unwin will take over the blog for a while. See you soon.

If Bruce Forsyth was still there to judge the performance of Southampton's manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, after succeeding Mark Hughes, he would surely have said, "Did not he do well." Saints are on 37 points and this close to survival after a terrible start to the season under Hughes. In the 20 league games that followed, Southampton had 28 of 37 points. Three others against Bournemouth would see them reach 40 points – the traditional security mark of the Premier League – and Hasenhuttl believes that players have to each club member to produce the required performance.

I know it sounds like a derby against Bournemouth on the south coast because they are not so far apart. It's a special game and for us, it's mostly a special game because we can make the final step. We are very motivated to take the last step in front of our audience. That's exactly what we wanted to have three games before the end and now we have the chance to do it.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær said he would remain loyal to David De Gea for Chelsea's visit on Sunday, despite the fact that Manchester United's goalkeeper has lost all his head in recent high-profile games.

Neil Warnock believes that Cardiff can escape the relegation of the Premier League while the "shackles have been broken" since the controversial defeat at Chelsea last month. Cardiff's header to relegate Fulham on Saturday to last in relegation, three points behind Brighton and with a lower goal difference. But the manager, Warnock, said, "I know it sounds ridiculous because you thought the pressure would be stronger. But since the Chelsea match, the chains have disappeared from us. We simply think that we will do what we can now and what we will be. We played like that in Brighton and I would be very happy if we had played as we have done in recent weeks. "

Midfielder Joe Ralls will no longer play any role this season after suffering a knee tendon injury against Liverpool this past weekend. Warnock joked about the fact that Harry Arter, who was trying to recover from a calf injury, had not been allowed to attend a training this week because he was Scott Parker. brother-in-law and could be a spy. Honking.

And now, something a little different. Leyton Orient is about to return to the Football League. Jobi McAnuff has made more than 700 appearances in his 20-year career, has been promoted to Premier League, represented Jamaica at Copa America, exchanged t-shirts with Lionel Messi and played against 70,000 people in the Gold Cup Finals. . Mexico, but the only thing he has in mind right now is to face the city of Braintree. Stuart James went to talk to Captain Os.

"The FA Youth Cup? I will take what I can, " acclaims Matt Dony. Unfortunately, Klopp's team did not participate in the Liverpool Senior Cup this year, Matt. Carefree to let the occasion pbad for the silverware. Southport got this.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær spoke about the future of Paul Pogba, who was badociated with a move to Real Madrid this morning. Here is what he had to say:

You can not guarantee anything in football, but yes, I think Paul will be here. I can badure you that he is very determined to succeed at United. It's just the standards he sets because when he creates opportunities, scores goals, does a lot of work … it's just the media, the fans, everyone turns to Paul. "Could you have done better?" He has done fantastic for us, he is also human and we are all the same, we want him to succeed. He is leader in this locker room and on the ground for us. Back to if I can guarantee, I would say yes, I can guarantee but in life, you can never, but it will be here as far as I'm concerned. You can not change 10 players and bring 10 players at once. You must bring this group of players to a stage where you are happy.

The PFA women's team of the year has been announced and the players of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City dominate. The prolific Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema is one of three Arsenal players included in the squad. The top scorer in the division, who has struck 21 times and provided 9 badists in 18 appearances to lead the Gunners on the edge of the first title since 2012, is accompanied in the XI by her teammates Kim Little and Lia Walti.

PFA Super League 1 Team of the Year 2019

Raheem Sterling won a prize last night for his strong position in the fight against racism, stereotypes and abuse in football and the media. He won the Integrity and Impact Award at the BT Sport Industry Awards and said this on stage:

When the next generation arrives, you will have to give the example. Coming to Liverpool, I had people around me, like Steven Gerrard, whom I admired. Looking at him, I thought that I could do in me to be half of the person and the player that he was. You take small things and every year, try to grow not only in the field, but outside. I was just talking about my personal experiences, I did not think it would attract so much attention. I just wanted to bring this to the attention of my audience on Instagram. It's really nice to see people listening and trying to do better. Bravo Raheem.

If Liverpool looked for a positive sign by doing everything in its power to defeat the Manchester City machine and win its first league title in 29 years, they could look to their under-18s. They beat City on penalties in the second leg of the FA Cup final last night to bring the trophy back to Anfield for the first time since 2007. Pep Guardiola was also there!

My readers, there are only three match days left in the Premier League. You can almost feel the end. But as Grace said in 1994: "It's not over, not finished, not finished, not yet!" The match this weekend in the Premier League is announced at Anfield tonight when the host of Liverpool, the Dutch team, relegated Huddersfield in the background, at 20 hours. If the Reds win, they will have two points ahead of Manchester City in their flashing competition of a ridiculously high quality, which means that the head of the Premier League would have changed hands 29 times this season. Pep Guardiola's team will travel to Burnley on Sunday afternoon, where they will be able to recover if they trade and win there. Mind you, they drew 1-1 at Turf Moor last season.

Maybe it's not quite as sober as many thought after City's 2-0 win at Old Trafford. Jürgen Klopp is certainly of this opinion. "It was not the last chance before the [City] Thu [against United]. Why should it be the last chance after the match? He also noted that while many said Liverpool and City were two champions' teams this season, the title race "resembles Highlander's." Only one of us will be there in the end. Unfortunately for Klopp, he did not have an immortal Scottish swordsman in his team.

Far from the first two, there are other big games this weekend. In the race for the first four places, the Spurs will have the chance to qualify for the Champions League next season by hosting West Ham at Saturday's kickoff. Cardiff can put pressure on Brighton to avoid a relegation if she beats Fulham before the Seagulls host Newcastle at the kickoff given Saturday. And Arsenal hopes to put an end to their miseries when they go to Leicester Sunday at noon. They can qualify for fourth place before Chelsea's visit to Manchester United in a huge match for qualifying for the Champions League. The first four hopes of United would remain in ruins if they lost to Chelsea.

Friday: Liverpool v Huddersfield (20h)

Saturday: Tottenham v West Ham (12.30), Crystal Palace v Everton (15h), Fulham v Cardiff (15h), Southampton v Bournemouth (15h), Watford v Wolves (15h), Brighton v Newcastle (15h).

Sunday: Leicester v Arsenal (12h), Burnley v Manchester City (14:05), Manchester United v Chelsea (16:30).

There are also huge games in the league and leagues one and two this weekend as well. After winning countless times, Norwich will finally seek promotion to the Premier League by hosting Blackburn at 7:30 pm Saturday. Here is a practical guide to what is still at stake in England and Scotland.
