The Red Devils travel to Leicester having won 13 away apparatuses in succession against their first class English opponents, the most recent coming in their Carabao Cup win over Everton. Solskjaer is set to name his most grounded conceivable line-up to proceed with that record, with Daniel James keeping his place in assault close by Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.A midfield triplet of Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba and Fred is set to arrange before Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw - with David de Gea in objective. Their Norwegian manager said before the game: "Indeed, it's down by game, we need to think like that now. "Yet, Leicester… we've had some great games against Leicester, extremely close games. They're a generally excellent side with an awesome mentor and I've appreciated watching them under Brendan [Rodgers]. "It was a major test for us to go down there at their arena for the last class round of last season in

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Calciomercato has recently reported that Manchester City are set to rival Paris Saint-Germain in pursuit of AC Milan midfielder Ismaël Bennacer. It is understood that the Algerian international’s incredible rise at the San Siro this season has not gone unnoticed with Pep Guardiola’s men hoping to land him in the future (via Calciomercato). The Arles-born talent has already made 11 appearances for the Milan giants this season, picking up three assists across all fronts. He has begun this campaign in good form and has been a consistent feature at the heart of Stefano Pioli’s midfield. The 22-year-old has impressed a lot with his performances in midfield by averaging 1.1 tackles, 1.0 interceptions and 1.8 dribbles per game in the Serie A and the UEFA Europa League. Bennacer has also distributed possession accurately across the field as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 90.2% in league football (stats via whoscored). The 23-time Algerian internation

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Real, who had only picked up a point from their opening two group games, were facing another disappointing result as Zidane saw his side squander a two-goal lead in the Spanish capital. However, Zidane's substitutions paid dividends as the two men he chucked on in the second half combined to score the winning goal, with Vinicius finding an unmarked Rodrygo inside the box late on to smash in the winning goal. It comes a week after the club faced a series of dressing room incidents that left the club in turmoil and Zidane facing the sack. But a win against Antonio Conte's side has somewhat relieved the pressure – and he has the Brazilian duo to thank for their efforts. 'I am very happy for them, the change was to contribute,' Zidane said after the 3-2 win at the Alfredo di Stefano Stadium. The play was very good. We had to add the three points and we, with the contribution of Vini and Rodrygo, who scored a

JORDAN JONES JORDAN JONES has been ruled out of contention for a place in the Northern Ireland squad for their upcoming international fixtures after attending a house party on Sunday evening. The former Kilmarnock winger was in the Northern Irish set-up over the last international break, playing his part in their Euro 2020 play-off semi-final win on penalties over Bosnia and their 1-0 defeat to Austria in the Nations League. Jones and his Ibrox team-mate George Edmundson broke government health advice on Sunday night and both have since been suspended whilst the club conducts an internal investigation. Northern Ireland manager Ian Baraclough said: "I have spoken to Jordan today and made my feelings on the matter clear to him. "This team has a responsibility to show leadership not only on the field, but off it too. It is something we have discussed many times. "Jordan is a talented young player who has a lot to offer Northern Irish football. Unfortunatley he has mad

Messi Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Messi Where do you even start after what can only be politely described as a disjointed showing at Alaves... Let’s begin with Sergio Busquets. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever now that Busi should not be first choice in the midfield. We got rid of Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal because they were supposedly no longer of sufficient standard to wear the shirt. Busquets isn’t quite there yet, but he’s getting close. The old guard can no longer be cosseted by the club because of their glory days. If they’re not doing the business, either haul them off or don’t start them in the first place. That applies to Lionel Messi, Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba too. We are in the business of football success, not the business of keeping under-performing employees happy at any cost. Busi’s performance was, frankly, embarrassing and if Koeman can’t see that, then maybe we’ve a problem on the bench too. That’s no league wins in four now, for the first time in

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com “THEY SPOKE AND THAT’S THAT.” ZIDANE CALMS BENZEMA/VINICIUS RIFT AS HAZARD SCORES SCREAMER ON RETURN Tom Canton Eden hazard returned to score an absolute screamer against Huesca. The away side were yet to pick up a win this season despite drawing 5 of their opening 8 games. Madrid meanwhile, fresh off the back of the El Classico victory and comeback against Gladbach, were happy to have their Belgian talisman back in the side. Picking up the ball and turning 25 yards from goal, Hazard struck the ball with his weaker left foot into the left-hand side of the Huesca net. Karim Benzema continued his fine form, a Lucas Vazquez cross found the Frenchman on the left and his low drive beat Fernandez. Benzema turned creator as his left sided cross found young Uruguayan Federico Valverde and the midfielder slammed a low shot in to make it 3. David Ferreiro scored a consolation with 15 minutes to go but any hopes of a comeback were dashed when Marcelo’s cross wa

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The Dutchman concedes things aren't going great as he singled out his attack for failing to make the most of their dominance. Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman admitted he is worried about the stuttering club following their equal worst La Liga start. Barca equalled their worst tally of La Liga points after six games since the Spanish competition reverted to three points for a win following Saturday's 1-1 draw at 10-man Deportivo Alaves. Antoine Griezmann cancelled out Luis Rioja's opener with 27 minutes remaining to salvage a point for Barca, who have just eight points to already be as many points adrift of defending champions and bitter rivals Real Madrid. Barca – who languish in 12th place amid a four-match winless streak in La Liga – have the same total of points as they managed at the start of the 2002-03 campaign under Louis van Gaal. "I'm worried by our performance in attack," Koeman – in his first season at the helm

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Srinagar: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah on Thursday said many states especially in the northeast have special laws relating to land ownership whereby people from other parts of the country cannot buy land there, and questioned why Jammu and Kashmir could not have similar laws. "There are many states like Himachal Pardesh, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Nagaland and union territories where no Indian can go and buy land even today," the former chief minister said. "Why is it only us who become anti-national when we talk of these laws? Why are there no media debates when similar voices (for special provisions) are raised from other states?" he asked, addressing a function at the National Conference headquarters in Srinagar. Mr Abdullah accused the BJP-ruled Centre of pushing to the brink the mainstream political parties in Jammu and Kashmir who he said have come together in the battle to protect their land and identity.

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Manchester United began their Champions League campaign with an impressive 2-1 away win at PSG last week. The Red Devils have not won Europe’s elite club competition since Sir Alex Ferguson was still in charge at Old Trafford back in 2008. Ferdinand was still playing for Manchester United back then, and although he would love to see the Red Devils challenge for the Champions League trophy this term, he doesn’t consider Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side to be one of the favourites. Speaking to BT Sport on Tuesday night before Manchester United’s clash with RB Leipzig on Wednesday, Ferdinand said: “I don’t think Man United are going to be one of the teams I’d put as favourites. I wouldn’t put them in that bracket. “I think they’ll do very well getting out this group they’re in and they’ve had a fantastic start. “I they’ll do well getting out of that and then just hope to improve from there. But consistency is the key for this season for Man United improving

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jurgen Klopp has received a much-needed boost with the reported news that Fabinho's hamstring injury suffered on Tuesday is not as severe as first feared. The Liverpool makeshift centre-half was forced from the pitch after half-an-hour in the Reds' win against Midtjylland, worsening an already serious defensive injury crisis after Virgil van Dijk's long-term ACL injury. But concerns amongst the Liverpool staff that the Brazilian had suffered a grade-three tear, which could keep him out up for up to six months, were eased after a scan on Wednesday showed a grade-one or grade-two tear, according to The Mirror. The report details that as a result of the diagnosis, there is optimism that Fabinho could be back after the November international break, meaning he would miss just three games.   Until then though, Klopp will have to cope with a shortage of options at centre half, with Joe Gomez the only fully fit senior

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Lampard had a terrific season last year as boss and led the club back into those Champions League spots and an FA Cup final, where they shocking lost to Arsenal, but that opened the door for a summer of spending. Roman Abramovic has backed the club legend, has given him the funds he needs to sign players, and is seemingly happy with the feeling that is around the club right now, especially with all the young talents coning through. Edouard Mendy has been signed, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell have been signed to improve that midfield, Hakim Ziyech ad Kai Havertz have been signed to give the side a bit more quality in attack, while Timo Werner has been signed to score the goals. However, after a poor performance against West Brom at the weekend and then getting knocked out of the Carabao Cup to Tottenham, there is a feeling around the media that Lampard will be the first Premier League boss to get the sack. Yes he is bring through the talented players

Previous Ghanaian Black Stars captian, Asamoah Gyan stood out as truly newsworthy 2 years prior about his separation with his ex, Gifty Gyan. This issue truly turned into a discussion of town. In the event that you review, Asamoah Gyan had questions about the parenthood of his children, had mentioned a DNA to decide the paternity of the children. Nonetheless, the DNA test which was led at Medilab at Ridge in Accra on January sixth came out demonstrating that, without a doubt the children are actually his. After this occurrence, there were a ton of worries about whether they planned to separation or remain wedded. For the record, they got separated!  Speedy RECAP: Asamoah Gyan and Gifty got married in 2013.

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com In a letter, the parties said travel between the nations was "inevitable" during the festive season and anti-Covid policies should acknowledge this. They have called for a "four-nations summit" to agree a shared plan. Downing Street said the best way to get "back to some sort of normal" was for everyone to follow official guidance. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government has responsibility for health policy - including social distancing, the size of gatherings and other Covid-19 restrictions - in England. Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford and Northern Ireland First Minister Arlene Foster each oversee the rules in their respective nations. This means different restrictions are in place across the UK, which, it is argued, could cause confusion when people move between the different nations during the holidays.

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com A migrant who died while trying to cross the Channel wanted to help fellow Iranians, it can be revealed. Mitra Mehrad, 31, fell from a dinghy off the coast of Kent in August and her body was later found in Dutch waters. Police have now confirmed her identity with the help of the BBC. Ms Mehrad, who had started a PhD in counselling psychology, wanted to help her compatriots by researching mental health issues among Iranians, her friends said. A massive rescue effort was launched on 9 August when she and three others fell from a flimsy vessel ferrying 20 migrants - including four children - from northern France to the English coast in rough seas. Two were pulled from the water, and 19 people - 14 from Iran and 5 from Iraq - were brought to Ramsgate by the RNLI but there was no sign of Ms Mehrad. Helicopters from both British and Belgian coastguards joined the search, which continued at first light the following day. Her

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The Burkina Faso international got his maiden goal in the European elite club competition against the Serie A giants at the Gewiss Stadium Two records tumbled for Lassina Traore who scored his first Champions League goal in Ajax’s 2-2 draw versus Atalanta on Thursday. Having scored five and assisted three goals in Erik ten Hag’s men 13-0 decimation of VV Venlo on Saturday, he was handed his first ever start in the competition against Gian Piero Gasperini’s men. In the process, the 19-year-old became the 30th different teenager to start a Champions League match for the 34-time Eredivisie kings – the most of any team in the competition’s history, overtaking Arsenal who are on 29. The Burkina Faso international justified his place in the starting XI by having a hand in the goals scored by the Dutch team. In the 28th minute, he won a penalty for Ajax having been fouled by Robin Gosens who attacked him with a high boot while trying to clear a cross from Du

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Atlético Madrid beat Red Bull Salzburg 3-2 on Tuesday night in the Champions League. It wasn’t classic Cholismo with some poor defending from the home side, but João Félix scored twice and landed his first ever match-winner since his 2019 summer move to Spain. Marcos Llorente continued his rich vein of form, too, and Atlético are off the mark in the Champions League. Simeone was delighted with Félix’s performance and said it might have been his best game yet. “Possibly, given the importance of the game,” he said. “He has played a lot of games at a really high level, but today he was consistent for 90 minutes.” Simeone was unable to offer an update on Saúl, who remains out injured, but did say Kieran Trippier would continue to play despite his poor recent form. “We believe in him,” he said. “(Šime) Vrsaljko’s moment will arrive. I have no doubt that Trippier will have a good season. Maybe he isn’t in his best moment, but he

In a largely toothless outing at Turf Moor on Monday night, Jose Mourinho’s men recorded a 1-0 away win against Burnley. With 14 minutes left to go, South Korea international Son headed in from close range after a fine work from strike partner Kane as Sean Dyche’s men lost their fourth game of the 2020-21 campaign. The pair have now combined for 29 goals in the English topflight – equalling a feat achieved by Manchester City’s David Silva and Sergio Aguero (29) as well as the duo of Thierry Henry and Robert Pires (29). Arsenal’s French connection was a huge part of the Gunners’ most successful period of the English elite division era. Before heading for

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com Troopers stopped to help a Virginia man who’d gotten into a traffic crash Sunday afternoon on the Palmetto Expressway near Miami Lakes. A foul odor wafted from the trunk. Inside was the body of a hip-hop artist who went missing over a week ago. Monday afternoon Miami-Dade police detectives arrested the man they believe shot and killed Brian Trotter, 25, who disappeared from Triangle, Virginia, on Oct. 17. Robert Deupree Avery Coltrain, 25, has been charged with second-degree murder and illegal transport of human remains. Coltrain was booked into a Miami-Dade jail on Monday afternoon. Trotter was a former Virginia high-school athlete who was trying to forge a hip-hop career, according to friends and family. His hip-hop name was “Kent Won’t Stop.” He’d been friends with Coltrain for more than a decade — the two played sports together and promoted their music. On Saturday, Oct. 17, Coltrain drove his silver Acura to pick up Trotter at his home in Triangl

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com A look at what’s happening around the Champions League on Tuesday: GROUP A Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick says Serge Gnabry could return to the starting lineup against Lokomotiv Moscow after an absence blamed on a false positive result in a coronavirus test. Gnabry sat out last week's 4-0 win over Atlético Madrid and the 5-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. Bayern lost on its last Champions League visit to Russia in 2016 in a surprise 3-2 defeat to Rostov. Atlético tries to rebound from the loss to Bayern when it hosts Salzburg, with Luis Suárez coming off his fourth goal of the season at the weekend in the Spanish league. GROUP B Real Madrid heads to Germany to play Borussia Mönchengladbach needing to kick-start its Champions League campaign following a 3-2 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk. The last time Madrid played Gladbach away, it lost 5-1 in 1985. Shakhtar hosts Inter Milan with more squad depth than for its surprise win over Madrid

Jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com The big matches continue to come thick and fast for Barcelona as night. The trip to Turin - a repeat of the 2015 final - comes just four days after Ronald Koeman's side were beaten 3-1 at home by their bitterest rivals, leaving them with only one point from their last three domestic outings. Barcelona were much more convincing in their opening Champions League group game, though, with five different players getting on the scoresheet in a comfortable win over Ferencvaros. Here, Sports Mole looks at how Koeman could set his side up for Wednesday showdown. Out: Gerard Pique (suspended), Philippe Coutinho (hamstring), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (match fitness), Samuel Umtiti (match fitness) Doubtful: None Barcelona's struggles at the moment are perhaps best summed up by their likely XI for this match - far from the star-studded team sheet we are used to seeing from the five-time European champions. That is particularly true in defence, where Koema

He is holding rallies in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin on Saturday as he seeks to make up ground against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Mr Biden, who holds a steady lead in national polls, is campaigning in Pennsylvania, another key state. Some 57 million votes have already been cast, a record spurred by the pandemic. The Republican president has continued to hold packed rallies despite a new surge in coronavirus infections that is particularly affecting the Midwest - home to several electoral battlegrounds. Speaking in Lumberton, North Carolina on Saturday, Mr Trump said America's coronavirus pandemic had been blown out of proportion and mocked his Democratic rival for making ominous warnings about a bleak winter. In contrast, Mr Biden held a drive-in rally in Bristol, Pennsylvania where he told supporters: "We don't want to become superspreaders." With just 10 days to go until the November 3 election, Joe Biden holds an average eight-point lead in n

Blues captain Azpilicueta was hauled to the ground by United skipper Harry Maguire, whose left arm was wrapped tightly around the Spaniard's neck. The incident was reviewed by VAR, but Maguire and United escaped punishment. "I thought it was a clear penalty," Lampard said. "Holding is allowed, but headlocks aren't. "Obviously I didn't see it at the time from where I'm standing. They are hard calls for referees on the pitch, but the VAR was very quick to dismiss it in my opinion. "I think they should have taken time and advised the referee to watch the monitor. If the referee goes to the monitor, he gives a penalty." United, who remain stuck in the bottom half of the table, were at least able to avoid losing a third straight home league game at the start of the season for the first time since 1930. In addition, they can also point to three good saves from Edouard Mendy, two to deny Marcus Rashford, including one in the final minute, an

Federico Valverde smashed Real, who had lost their previous two games, into the lead from Karim Benzema's pass. Barcelona's Ansu Fati, 17, levelled from Jordi Alba's cross, becoming the youngest scorer in El Clasico history. Ramos scored from the spot and Luka Modric smashed in a late third. The turning point was a lengthy VAR decision for the Ramos penalty. Referee Juan Martínez Munuera did not spot Clement Lenglet's pull on Ramos' shirt but eventually gave a penalty after viewing it on the screen. Barca had two penalty appeals turned down - for a Raphael Varane challenge on Lionel Messi and a possible Varane handball. "I don't understand VAR, I think it is only used to make decisions against Barca," said Koeman, whose side have only picked up seven points from five games. "You always get shirt tugs like that in the area and I think Ramos makes a foul on Lenglet first. There's a tug of the shirt, but not enough to make him fall behind a

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho admits a summer move to Arsenal was close. The 28-year-old was on Arsenal's list of transfer targets in the summer as Mikel Arteta attempted to bolster his midfield options. He insists he always wanted to remain at Chelsea and he has played an integral part in their promising start to the season. Jorginho told ESPN Brazil: "I believe that every player is open to negotiations. So I believe there was something they talked about. And in the end it was decided that I remain here. "Now my head is here and we're going to do a great job with Chelsea, which I always wanted to do." Source: jsportnewsaddess.blogspot.com

Playing in the El Clasico is a dream for any young Barcelona fan. For 17-year-old wonderkid Pedri, it will be a chance to put one over the club who rejected him two years ago. The highly-rated attacker netted his first Barcelona goal in their Champions League win over Ferencvaros in midweek and is expected to be the Catalans' secret weapon ahead of their blockbuster derby clash at the weekend. Though things could have turned out very differently for the teenager, who turned up at Real Madrid's Valdebebas training ground in February 2018 for a trial in the middle of a snowstorm. The poor weather conditions meant that Madrid had to close their training ground, even for the first team ahead of an important Champions League knockout tie against Paris Saint-Germain the following week. When Pedri finally got his chance to play in front of the Los Blancos coaches, the pitch conditions were poor due to the snow and the then-15-year-old was given the cold shoulder. Speaking about h

The England and Manchester United striker, 22, is sharing messages on Twitter from local businesses that have pledged to support his campaign. A motion to extend free school meals over holidays during the Covid-19 pandemic was rejected by MPs. "He plays for United, which makes it really tricky," said Klopp. "But in these moments we are as footballers and as human beings always united. "What Marcus has started is absolutely incredible. It is so nice." Fish and chip shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes are among the hospitality venues to offer free meals. A growing number of councils across England, including Liverpool, have also pledged to provide food vouchers over half term. Rashford to fight on after new school meals plea rejected Rashford was made an MBE this month after his campaign resulted in the government reversing its decision and allowing about 1.3m children in England to be able to claim free school meal vouchers in the summer holidays. He cal

Villa came into Friday's game having won their first four games of a league campaign for the first time since 1930-31, but three expert finishes from the Leeds striker prevented the hosts making it a club record five victories on the spin to open their season. The result lifts Leeds to third - their highest position at the end of a day in the division since September 2002. It was reward for a relentlessly positive performance from an injury-hit visiting side that should probably have yielded more goals. In the first-half, Bamford missed with a header and then side-footed wide after being found by Jack Harrison's low cross at the end of swift counter-attacking move. Leeds' record signing Rodrigo was also guilty of spurning good opportunities, slicing one shot wide before seeing an effort blocked by Ezri Konsa. Dean Smith's Villa team, who had put seven goals past champions Liverpool in their previous home game, saw a Jack Grealish shot cleared off the line by Luke A

Chelsea have made a lot of big money recruitments in the summer transfer window but the club is still struggling to get the consistent results they so much desire. Many people have attributed some of these problems to the fact that the coach Frank Lampard doesn't know how to use the players in their preferred positions. According to them, most of the players are been played out of position. This they believe is one of the major problems the coach needs to rectify.A recent video of Moroccan international Hakim Ziych that surfaced online has justified this believes. In the video the player said he is a no.10 as that is the position where he excelled in his former club Ajax. He added that no matter where he plays he will continue to try and help the team and put in his best. The player since returning has been deployed on the right side of attack in the two games he has since played. Fans will be hoping that the gaffer plays him in his favourite role so he can have an excellent impa

Per current protocols, Gnabry must remain in isolation for 10 days after his initial positive result. Germany v Switzerland - UEFA Nations League Serge Gnabry tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, the day before Bayern Munich hosted Atletico Madrid for its opening Champions League group-stage match — a 4-0 drubbing. Now, Bild reports that Gnabry has tested negative on a second test. That is good news, but it does not mean that Gnabry will be able to play against Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend: even after subsequent negative test results, any person who tests positive for COVID-19 must remain in isolation for ten days per the Department of health and Environment of Munich. Gnabry therefore will miss the game this weekend vs Eintracht Frankfurt and the next group-stage game, away vs. Lokomotiv Moscow. At the earliest, he could return to action against FC Köln on October 31. It is not known how Gnabry became infected; he did not come into contact with physiotherapist Gianni Bia

Chelsea drew their last game against Sevilla on Tuesday during their UEFA Champions League clash.
