Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men seem to find that extra gear when playing against the elite competition, but things are different when faced with the task of breaking a side down. This shows in the results too, with failures to win in six of their eight league games against teams currently in the bottom half of the table.
Former United States manager Jill Ellis is the best candidate to replace Phil Neville as England boss, says former international Eniola Aluko. But Aluko says the Football Association must be prepared to pay Ellis - who won back-to-back World Cups with the USA in 2015 and 2019 - the same as England men's boss Gareth Southgate. Neville will step down when his contract ends in the summer of 2021. She has that pedigree and she has that experience," Aluko told Sky Sports.

Only reason why odds are so big on the home win is because the hosts want the points if they are to fight in the championship group for an Europa League place next season, but I read on the Urartu website that the players and staff are happy and well prepared for this game, plus they even played in the Europa League at the start of this season defeated by Cukaricki from Serbia, but that is too strong opponent for any side from Armenia to handle.
I don't see any problems for guests in this match from Serbian Cup and I really see easy win for guests. Last time, when they are played against this rival, they are won very easy and in that match it was 3-0 in Belgrade. In last match in Surdulica, at the Southern Serbia, Radnik was played better, but again, Partizan was better team. In that match, Partizan is won 2-1. In last round, in league, Partizan is beat Mladost Lucani even 4-1, so for me, it is clear that it will be similar and this time, so I will try.
Despite their promotion back into the Football League last season, Leyton Orient have been pretty average this term and have only won two of their seven home league matches, averaging just 1.33 goals per game in the process. Things have not exactly been getting any better of late either as they have only managed to score once in their last four league games and have failed to score in over a quarter of their league matches overall this term. Given that their last three games finished with under 2.5 goals scored, it seems unlikely that this weekends’ clash will be a classic.
After the break, Knockaert saw a blistering strike brush past the post before finally opening the scoring, while Bryan and Cyrus Christie also peppered Orjan Nyland's goal with shots as Fulham - now dominating the match - looked to hit the final nail in Villa's coffin. Man of the match - Anthony Knockaert (Fulham) Anthony Knockaert scored Fulham's opener and could have added several more.

However, the likes of Kazuyuki Toda, at Tottenham, and Ryo Miyaichi, for Arsenal, Bolton and Wigan, made less of an impact with just a smattering of top-flight appearances between them. Liverpool fans will be hoping Minamino can become the third Japanese player to lift the Premier League trophy later this year. And if that does happen then that Liverpool pub in Tokyo may need to open another branch to accommodate all the club's new fans in Japan.
When I put Mourinho's name to one club recently, the instant response was: "He'd want £250m for new players before he sat down at his desk. Spurs and Levy do not work like that - or at least they have not under Pochettino. After arriving from Southampton in May 2014, he spent £394m on players but recouped £295m. Pochettino was prepared to work, for a time at least, within that template as he achieved four straight top-four finishes in the Premier League and reached the club's first Champions League final.
But Peter Schmeichel was in inspired form in the United goal, and Eric Cantona's 51st-minute strike proved decisive. A month later, in a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at Anfield - a game regarded as one of the greatest in Premier League history - Newcastle twice led before being sunk by a stoppage-time Stan Collymore winner. Keegan, deflated by the killer late goal, slumped over an advertising board in front of the away dugout, his title hopes all but slain by his former club.
The Canaries are bottom of the table, seven points from safety with five rounds of games to play. The Hornets have a much better chance of staying up as they are currently outside the relegation zone in 17th. However, the battle to stay up is fierce and Watford have no breathing space with both Aston Villa and Bournemouth only one point behind them at the time of writing.
Just one year earlier in the Copa MX - the Mexican Cup (different to the league mentioned above) - there was also big drama. With Dorados set to knock out Correcaminos, Frausto came forward for an injury-time corner and smashed in a sweet volley. To make things even better he scored the winner in the shootout. Butt scores… then gets lobbed Hans-Jorg Butt's celebrations after scoring were short-livedWe all need a good laugh in these difficult times.
Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Barcelona have drawn five Champions League games 0-0, two more than any other team. Barcelona's Lionel Messi has attempted 12 shots without success in home Champions League games this season. Should he fail to score against Dortmund, it would be the first time since October 2011 he has failed to score in three consecutive home games in the competition (a run of four).
