We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams head into this game having conceded too many goals for their liking, but that does suggest that we are likely to see goals being scored at both ends of the pitch. Recent encounters between the pair have produced plenty of goals and we expect that trend to continue this weekend.
Silva is not only losing games but he also fulfils the lines from the old Blues song saying that if it was not for bad luck, he would have no luck at all. It is a toxic combination. He responded to a question about whether he will be in charge by saying: "I am not the right person to ask. One of the key questions at Everton is - who actually is the right person to ask?Who is deciding Everton's direction? Who is the driving force? Who is shaping, or at least trying to shape, the future amid the current inertia?Is it majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, who is full of ambition but short on football acumen on the evidence of his decision-making since arriving at Everton in February 2016?Is it chairman Bill Kenwright, armed with just a 5% shareholding and blamed by many Everton supporters for the re-emergence of the name of David Moyes as a potential interim successor to Silva? The suggestion - sentimental and a retrograde step - has been greeted with fury by a groundswell of supporters given Moyes' track record of failure at Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Sunderland and, to a lesser degree, West Ham United since leaving Goodison Park in 2013.

While he may differ to Gerrard in many ways, his sheer stubbornness and force of will is eerily reminiscent of the former captain. Henderson never knows when he is beaten and that mentality evidently rubs off on his team. It’s no surprise that during Liverpool’s first Premier League defeat this season Henderson was missing and, whilst he did start both of the games against Atletico Madrid, it’s hard to blame him for his team’s loss against a side imprinted with Diego Simeone’s mentality.
Binh Phuoc is the phenomenon of the Vietnam first-class season before the end of the season in the 3rd position in the rankings, only 3 points lower than the position of the play-off stone.

Five goals in two games. Erling cannot be stopped," said a beaming Dortmund coach Lucien Favre. He constantly wants to train, to play. He is extremely committed. It is fantastic for a coach to have a player like that. BAYERN RUN Champions Bayern Munich equalled the best start to a year (VfB Stuttgart 1991) with two wins and a 9-0 goal record following their 5-0 demolition of Schalke 04.
The jury is still out on Jose but you have to give him a chance," he said. He needs at least one close season to bring some players in. The thing is when the club got to the Champions League final last season, it was great. We had a fabulous time in Madrid but when you step back and look at it, the club was not ready, and since then, it has gone downhill fast. It could be argued the trouble began before that, on Tottenham's last visit to Turf Moor in February 2019.
Indeed, the Red Devils have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the top flight this season. This shows in their recent form, which has them winning five, drawing five and losing four of their last 15 Premier League outings. Things get significantly worse for them away from home though, with them winning just two of their nine trips away this season and losing four times.
Standard beat Guimaraes 2-0 in the pairs reverse fixture and also have a victory against Frankfurt to their name and in both games, the Belgian side have scored two goals. Vitoria Guimaraes have only narrowly been beaten in their opening three games and held Arsenal to a draw last time out but the Premier League side have been inconsistent this season which does take a little something away from what otherwise would be considered an excellent result for the Portuguese club. Both Guimaraes and Standard have conceded seven goals in Group F but the Belgians have scored two more goals than their Portuguese hosts. Standard have also only kept one clean sheet, against Vitoria Guimaraes, in the group stage while their hosts are yet to keep their opponents out in any of their opening four matches.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1Alex's prediction: 1-1 Newcastle v Man City (FA Cup quarter-final, 18:30 BST - live on the BBC)If Newcastle had held on to beat Aston Villa in the league on Wednesday, they would be totally safe on 41 points and could have focused fully on this tie. They have already drawn with Manchester City once at St James' Park this season and you would be thinking they can have a real go at them.
Ricardo Pereira also put in a graft worthy of praise. However, it has to be Jamie Vardy, scoring in his eighth consecutive league match - and the team’s eighth consecutive league win - to take the accolade, looking as dependable in front of the goal as Foxes fans have come to expect. PLAYER RATINGS Aston Villa: Heaton 6, El Mohamady 6, Konsa 6, Mings 5, Targett 6, Nakamba 5, El Ghazi 7, Douglas Luiz 6, McGinn 6, Grealish 7, Wesley 5.

MAN OF THE MATCH Marcus Rashford (Man United). His first goal may look like a goalkeeping error at first glance, but the way he struck the ball made it very difficult for Gazzaniga and Rashford demonstrated supreme technique on a number of occasions as he peppered the Spurs goal early on. When they were dominant, most of United’s good moments came through him and the Tottenham defence never looked comfortable against him.
There are fears that their current downward spiral will continue in this home clash with second-tier opposition. While there will be little credit given to Gattuso if he wins this one, a loss could be a hammer blow early in his reign. The way the hosts are going, this tie seems like a must-win game.

They have won four of their seven Bundesliga home games up to now, losing just once, versus Wolfsburg.Hertha Berlin have not enjoyed similar fortune away from home this season. Hertha have won just one of their seven Bundesliga away games, losing four. We predict that they will struggle versus a strong home side, in Eintracht Frankfurt.
Argentinos Juniors will host Rosario Central for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites on the home stadium. However, this will not be an easy task. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this season. Both teams have the motivation to get all three points. However, Argentinos Juniors have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. In previous game Argentinos Juniors lost 2-0 against Velez Sarsfield. Also, we have Rosario Central who's is very average team. They have highly variable results. In previous game Rosario Central is won 3-1 against Arsenal Sarandi. So, I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.

Sadio Mane has done incredible things for Liverpool this season, leading many to believe he is now Liverpool’s main man, but with one well-taken penalty, and the most sumptuous of passes for Oxlade-Chamberlain, Salah gave a firm reminder of his unrelenting quality at London Stadium. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Salah has scored more Premier League goals than any other player (66).
Paper Round’s view: This is an awkward one and the progress of the disease needs to be monitored. Footballers are first and foremost human beings, but they are also entertainers and with so much of the country grinding to a halt, so many people who are locked up in their homes could use the boost of watching their favourite teams play.
The English striker's initial effort was saved but James Maddison's rebound was chalked off by VAR for encroachment by both teams.

The circumstances were perfect for a typical Arsenal defeat: night game, hostile atmosphere, Olympiacos hangover, very young Arsenal side, in-your-face opposition. For once, Arsenal were cast in the role of northern softies, relatively speaking, and they had to endure a bruising start to the match. Most of the Arsenal team spent some time on the canvas in the first 20 minutes, such was Portsmouth’s robust approach, and Lucas Torreira was stretchered off after a very strong challenge from James Bolton.

The difference was a great finish and we were not able to execute that today. Everton's Ancelotti was not suprisingly a lot more satisfied than his opposite number after the final whistle. For 60 minutes the performance was good, at the end it was normal to suffer a little bit at 1-0 up. We suffered but we were determined to have three points at the end and this is the most important thing," the 60-year-old Italian said.
