View more on twitterBut before we have a look at the more recent examples - and seeing as we are in what was supposed to be an international break - let's have a look at arguably England's most iconic XI. Some people are on the pitch. Beating West Germany 4-2 to win the 1966 World Cup earned this line-up legendary status but they actually only played together six times. One of the chief reasons they started so few games together is Jimmy Greaves - the forgotten man of that World Cup triumph.
Liverpool, who lead the league on 79 points, were playing in the day's late match at Watford. For Bournemouth, though, there could only be frustration at seeing a comeback victory snatched away on an afternoon when fellow strugglers West Ham United leapt out of the bottom three with a 3-1 win over Southampton.
Liverpool took another step towards the Premier League title with a hard-fought win over Wolves at Anfield in yet another match embroiled in VAR controversy. Sadio Mane scored Liverpool's winner, tucking in from an Adam Lallana knockdown which replays showed did not come off his hand. Wolves thought they had levelled through Pedro Neto, only to see the strike ruled out because Jonny was millimetres offside.
Under Solskjaer, United have won 73% of the Premier League games in which they have had less possession than their opponents, compared to just 36% when they have enjoyed more. In the first half it could have easily have been my testimonial," added United's Norwegian boss. It was very subdued, slow, no urgency, no tempo and the only encouragement their crowd got was when we gave them set-plays. And we gifted them two goals in the second half as well.

Grealish opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a beautiful, curling effort into the top corner -- right in front of the Stretford End -- and continued to be a threat through the game, making it impossible not to notice the contrast with United's unimaginative midfield. In fairness, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is without his best midfielder, injured French midfielder Paul Pogba and he was also lacking the physical presence of Scott McTominay, leaving him with few options.
Which means a number of his first-choice players may not feature at Turf Moor. He said the forward players in particular may not play but behind "they have got options", so the likes of Lucas Moura, Dele Alli and Steven Bergwijn may all not feature. He also said Harry Winks was "completely dead", so he is likely to miss out too. The north London side have only kept two clean sheets in 14 games in 2020 too so it may be best to avoid their defensive players like Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld, where Mourinho likes to shuffle from game-to-game anyway.
Gael Monfils is in good form after winning an ATP tournament last weekend. Felix Auger-Aliassime has lost all of his previous three finals. Felix Auger-Aliassime is better when playing on a clay surface. Gael Monfils won the Rotterdam tournament last year and has to defeat Felix Auger-Aliassime on Sunday to retain that title.
Manchester City haven't lost a home league game since April 2018 with 16 wins and three draws. Manchester City have only conceded one home league goal this season and that was an own goal. Arsenal have lost their last two away league games against Manchester City. The top two meet in the Women's Super League as Manchester City host Arsenal.
These two sides drew 2-2 in their reverse fixture back in October and Slovan Bratislava have only picked up one win from their five group games while Braga are yet to lose a single match in the Europa League this season, which is why we have backed the visitors with a double chance bet this Thursday.
Unbeaten in the league until mid-October, they would eventually finish third after faltering in the spring, and reached the last four of the League Cup as well as those two May finals. But, at one stage, their Uefa Cup run looked in danger of lasting just one round. We got an absolute chasing by Lens in France," says Malpas. They were lightning and technically brilliant, but could only score once. A 2-0 win at Tannadice overturned that defeat and was followed by a 3-0 win over Universitatea Craiova, before an eye-opening trip to communist Romania, which was still three years away from revolting.
Media playback is not supported on this device Man Utd's Rashford speaks about mother's sacrifices in his bid to end food poverty Footballers, having seemingly been identified as "get your hands in your pockets" scapegoats early in this pandemic, have also played their part, particularly Manchester United's young England striker Marcus Rashford. He has emerged as one of the key figures, not by design but by his wonderful, selfless efforts, in ensuring so many footballers made a nonsense of that unjustified singling out.
Olympiakos Piraeus are the only team without a defeat in the league together with PAOK. At home they have a 6-1-0 record so far conceding only 2 goals while scoring 15. The only team that they dropped points against was second placed PAOK.
Steven Gerrard and his Rangers team potentially stand just 90 minutes away from the last 16 of the Europa League. To make it there, they know they must overcome a formidable Braga team no doubt still rocked by an incredible 3-2 defeat at Ibrox in last week's first leg. Here, we look at all you need to know in the build-up to Wednesday's Portuguese showdown. We won't hold on and suffer' - GerrardTeam newsBorna Barisic has flown out to Braga with the rest of the Rangers squad clash after shaking off a back injury.
Welbeck's first Premier League goal since August 2018 - the statsWatford registered only their second win in their last 12 Premier League matches (drew three, lost seven) and their first since beating champions Liverpool 3-0 in February. Norwich have lost six consecutive league matches for the first time since May 1995, when they lost seven in a row in the Premier League.

I'm not going to say anything about him [Shankland] now, there's too many people sniffing about. His link play at times was fantastic, then he shows real quality, most people would hit that early but he takes an extra touch to shift it and bang it in the corner. Inverness CT manager John Robertson: "We need to mark Shankland in the box, it's as simple as that.
Victory strengthens Chelsea's hold on third place in the Premier League, where they sit four points above Leicester and Manchester United, who both play on Thursday. At this stage of the season results are critical and we didn't concede any chances of note to let them score," Lampard told Sky Sports. Where we are at as a team and where we are in the table, it is all about the result. Norwich, who were relegated following a 4-0 thrashing by West Ham on Saturday, failed to record a shot on target during the match.
The two clubs added only one win in six games. Malaga is two points behind relegation and Extremadura five points behind. Malaga are one of the teams that have the most difficulty concluding their home games and Extremadura are in the middle of the table considering away form. I don't think a victory for the guests is out of the question either. They are in good form after the Corona break. After all, they could also get a point away. I still don't see Malaga win here. It is difficult to pick a winner in this competition and most of the matches ends in draws and I feel here will be the same case.
Serie A leaders Inter Milan missed the chance to move four points clear at the summit after being held to a goalless draw by Roma at the San Siro. The build-up to the fixture had been overshadowed by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport's 'Black Friday' headline, which was accompanied by images of Roma defender Chris Smalling and Inter striker Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku condemned the headline as "one of the dumbest" he has ever seen while Smalling said it was "wrong and insensitive".
Lloris was largely untested and perhaps should have done better for Pukki's penalty having guessed the right way, but it will have been pleasing for Tottenham fans and Mourinho to see him come through the 90 minutes unscathed. Defeat increases Norwich worriesNorwich came into this game on the back of a morale-boosting win against relegation rivals Bournemouth and, while usually a trip to Tottenham would be a daunting prospect, Spurs' poor recent form - particularly at home - should have given the Canaries some belief they could get a positive result.
Being young and English is - as per usual in the Premier League - the in-thing. But Giroud showed on Saturday that being patient, working hard and seizing your opportunity is how you prove your point as the Frenchman competes to be Chelsea's first-choice striker. After Michy Batshuayi's disappointing performance against Manchester United and Tammy Abraham making the bench against Spurs following an injury lay-off, the 33-year-old was handed his first Chelsea start since November in a 2-1 victory over Tottenham to register their first league double over their London rivals in 14 years.
We believe his track record of achieving success at unfashionable, underperforming clubs makes him an attractive long-term appointment," said majority shareholder John Fenty on the club website. Fenty said an initial two hour long telephone conversation with Holloway had led to four more hours of talks in a fish restaurant in Cleethorpes.
The joy on Bruce's face at the final whistle was in great contrast to his demeanour after his first game in charge of his boyhood club, when they lost 1-0 to Unai Emery's Arsenal following an uninspiring display in early August. Then it was a wet and dreary occasion. A day when the fans, whose cherished manager Rafael Benitez had left them for China, protested against the ownership outside the stadium and also stayed away.
The hosts are in impressive form with 3 wins in a row in which they conceded just one goal and it happened last round when they played Austria Vienna II who was in top form prior to meeting Steyr at home but lost the game with no less than 4-1 in the end. And other two wins from Steyr came at Dornbirn where they won with 2-0 and also at home with Amstetten which also not that easy side to be winning points from lately.
Inter really pressed in the closing stages of the half and got reward when Romelu Lukaku, who dallied a little when presented a gilt-edged chance earlier in the half, took advantage of superb lay-off from Lautaro Martinez and drilled an effort home that deflected off Samuel Umtiti. In the second half, Inter had a number of chances with Martinez twice having goals, rightly, ruled out for offside and going close on other occasions.
In December fans groups, unhappy with the running of the club and claiming trust in the board had “eroded”, called for Donald to sell the club. He subsequently put Sunderland up for sale, although reports suggest he had already been attempting a sale for many months. Methven, who resigned from the board in December citing personal reasons, told BBC Sport he expects a sale to be completed by the end of the season.
Second-placed RB Leipzig will travel to bottom-placed Paderborn this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Leipzig will be hoping to earn a fourth straight Bundesliga victory in Saturday's contest. They will have to overcome a Paderborn side who will be full of confidence after last weekend's draw with Dortmund.
Many believe England getting to the Women's World Cup semi-finals for the first time in 2015 has played a significant role. Leicester City's coronation (2016) Leicester only lost three league games during their title-winning seasonThe greatest story in the history of football? At odds of 5,000-1, it is certainly up there. Leicester City celebrated their coronation as Premier League champions - the first top-flight title of their 132-year history - in spectacular and emotional style on 7 May 2016.
The German Football Association (DFB) said the season would resume under strict health protocols that bans fans from the stadium and requires players to have Covid-19 testing. Around 300 people, including players, staff and officials, will be in or around the stadiums during matchdays. The league has been suspended since 13 March; clubs returned to training in mid-April with players working out in groups.
NORWICH CITY: Krul 8, Aarons 7, Godfrey 8, Hanley 5, Lewis 6, Vrancic 7, Trybull 6, Rupp 6, Buendia 7, Cantwell 7, Drmic 8. Subs: McLean 5, Idah n/a, Tettey n/a, Stiepermann n/a. KEY MOMENTS 11' - GOOD SAVE! Spurs take a quick free kick, Moura bursts towards the box and plays a weighted pass to Lo Celso whose low drive is saved by Krul.
I had to do what was morally correct, even though it was difficult to say no. But we made the right choice and now people realise it was correct. Closing the doors to a match is difficult for many reasons but in the end we have to take these decisionsSteven ZhangInter Milan presidentInter took a hard-line approach to the closed-doors game they played. In addition to players, coaches and support staff, the numbers allowed to attend the Ludogorets game were kept to an absolute minimum.
They will struggle to prevent their home record from worsening this Saturday providing Atleti can bounce back from the Supercopa, and the fact that Eibar have won just one and lost 12 of 17 previous meetings between the sides hardly bodes well for the hosts.
He added: "I've had ridiculous highs and massive lows. The injuries didn't help. The injuries were so, so difficult to try to overcome. I felt tortured. This wasn't what I expected my football career to be like. I didn't want to sprint, it hurt too much. Bellamy, who played 78 times for Wales and represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympic Games, played close to 300 Premier League games, scoring 81 goals.
England midfielder Jordan Nobbs was out for eight months with a serious knee injury but made her third start in eight games in the SheBelieves Cup victory over Japan, was named player of the match and put in an impressive display. The 27-year-old is playing regularly for Arsenal in the Women's Super League again and against Japan provided England with the creative force they have lacked. So just how much have England missed Nobbs? Is she back to her best and should the Lionesses "unleash" her in midfield? How much did England miss Nobbs at the World Cup? Media playback is not supported on this device Disappointment, heartbreak and Lego - Jordan Nobbs on missing the World Cup When Jodie Taylor scored her winning goal against Argentina in the group stages of last summer's World Cup, she ran over to the corner towards Nobbs, who was in Le Havre working as a pundit for the BBC.
The Egypt winger didn't celebrate either goal against his former side - but Roberto Firmino did!Danny WelbeckView more on twitterBorn-and-bred Manchester lad Danny Welbeck left Old Trafford after 13 years and joined Arsenal in a £16m deal on deadline day in September 2015. He returned to haunt his boyhood club later that season in the FA Cup quarter-finals, when he latched onto a dodgy Antonio Valencia back pass before slotting the loose ball around David de Gea and into the unguarded net.
There clearly needs to be additions to Spurs’ squad but there are so many players who Mourinho will be able to give confidence back to.
