In my opinion, it would be surprising to see Mbappe deciding to stay at PSG from now on. Because he has been dreaming about playing for Real Madrid since his childhood. And he has the opportunity to make it real this summer. Real Madrid are very eager to sign him as soon as possible.
I'm also surprised by this news, how can Mbappe prefer staying in PSG to moving to Real Madrid? Is this news really valid or just a rumor? I still don't believe if Mbappe finally decides to stay in PSG, I mean what he plans to achieve in PSG. He must know that PSG isn't a proper team to make his dream to be true, can't win the UCL title and other international titles. If he wants to make his career be better and achieves a bigger dream, he must move to a bigger team such as Real Madrid. Better to not make Real Madrid to wait for too long time, they may move their target to Haaland only and forget about Mbappe. Kylian Mbappe is not doing very well by deciding on his future at PSG although he seemed to be playing well for the team and apparently he is the only player not booed by fans but speculations about his future is unsettling for the club. It is best he decides as soon as possible. I think clearly Real Madrid prefer Mbappe to Haaland and moreso, he will be coming for free at the end of the season. Probably if PSG eventually secure the service of Zidane as the coach Mbappe would stay but for now, it is certain Madrid is the likely destination. |

Chelsea and Arsenal got unexpected results, but obviously Chelsea got a very surprising result. Chelsea lost at home by a promoted team, but Arsenal lost away by Crystal Palace and in fact Crystal Palace is not an easy opponent for Arsenal. Considering their head to head results, Crystal Palace often provides strong resistance for Arsenal so that draws often occur for them. But this time, Crystal Palace can really win the match even with a clean sheet and also, with this result at least Tottenham can be in the top four even though the position is still not safe because Arsenal still have a big chance to take over the position.
Chelsea's result is easy to explain - in the Premier League they lost the race for the title and nothing threatens their place in the top 3. So they focused on the Champions League. Chelsea continues to play in three tournaments (the third is the FA Cup), so this redistribution of power is reasonable. With Arsenal, it's a different story - they've been eliminated from all competitions and play only in the Premier League, so this defeat is the most surprising result since Arsenal played at full strength and there can be no excuses. Both Arsenal and Chelsea have not beaten any real top team this season. It's even more annoying for Arsenal fans because they have been playing only once a week, the team should be giving more but only to be humbled by Vieira Crystal Palace. Probably, this loss will give the club and fans a reality check because in recent weeks they have been talking about overtaking Chelsea, sadly they be overtook by Spurs and with tough games ahead they might not make it to top 4. |

There is no need to set up a commitee to probe why Nigeria lost that match. We lost because of the management, we lost because of the Nigerian players. There was no passion or enthusiasm in the Nigerian players. It felt like our players didn't know what was at stake..If I was a coach I would throw in everything I can to win. Even when we were losing, there was no sense of urgency from the players and the coach.

Katsina United has signed three players Omoyele Tosin, Anthony Amaka, all former players of Enyimba Fc. Enyimba didn't sign any new players over the transfer window yet they are letting their players go to their competition. Its quite worrisome for Enyimba Fc. I don't know how important these players were to Enyemba. It could be they are getting go of the excesses and are focusing on the important players. What is the point of paying players you are not going to use?
It is a matter of concern that Enyimba Fc failed to sign players. The big question is what is your tactics? What's their game plan? All the guys that should be getting Enyimba the goals are not delivering. Enyimba is a big club like Real Madrid of La Liga. I was expecting Enyimba to get one of those names that are getting the numbers. Fenidi George should have signed more players. |

Many people must be thinking about whether Chelsea can make it to the title once again. I also am a little curious about it actually but I don't want to believe that they can even eliminate Real Madrid. I don't see the same Chelsea now. I'm aware of the fact that Chelsea will be focusing on the Champions League more than the EPL now. But I don't see the same light in them this time. If they somehow manage to eliminate Real Madrid, then I might start to feel that again.
You are right Chelsea is no longer as strong a team as they were last season. But is the Real Madrid team too strong? We know their squad players are experienced. Their coach is experienced. But they still rely on Benzema to win the match. The Chelsea team may have been a bit weak. But the situation in Real Madrid is not good. Real Madrid will not be able to win against Chelsea without Benzema scoring a goal. Benzema is literally carrying Real Madrid over his shoulders now. It is a sure thing. But they are not playing bad as a team too. I see a significant difference between their performance now and the one in the last season. Ancelotti has started to make this difference and his influence on the team is really big now. And Real Madrid have a huge history in the Champions League. They eliminated PSG like that thanks to their being an experienced team in this tournament. Chelsea are another experienced team maybe but this time might be different. Benzema has been the key player for Madrid this season but I think Chelsea have more than enough in their midfield to cut off the supply to Benzema and if they can do that effectively then he will be effective. Benzema is a top player and he will need just a mistake to punish Chelsea. I think for Real Madrid to knock out Chelsea, other than Benzema the rest should step up. Chelsea did come off better than them last season and It will bad for Real Madrid if they come with revengeful and malicious dreams because it might backfire against them. |

I actually think that the one who has the potential to become champions in the UCL this season is Liverpool. man city is indeed a very strong team and champion candidates but they will definitely be eliminated (perhaps when facing ATM).
Man City will be defeated by Atletico Madrid? Are you joking? To be honest, I don't see a chance for Atletico Madrid to beat Man City. I don't underestimate this team, but their performance this season seems not really promising to defeat a strong EPL team like Man City. Man City is one of the favorite teams to win UCL, they shouldn't be eliminated in this stage. Liverpool, Bayern Munchen, or Real Madrid can defeat Man City, but I don't see it possible for Atletico Madrid. Sorry for Atletico Madrid fans.. If we compare Man City with Atletico, Man City should not be eliminated by Atletico. Moreover, Atletico's performance has decreased compared to the previous season which won the La Liga trophy. This season Atletico began to show good form towards the end of the season, while the start of this season Atletico played very poorly. While Man City has played very consistently from the start of the season, even Man City is still in first position in the Premier League right now. Even so far, Man City's performance is also very good in the Champions League competition, and don't forget Man City, runners-up in the Champions League in 2021. So it's no wonder Man City is one of the candidates to win the Champions League trophy this year. It will take a miracle for Atletico if they are to beat Man City and qualify for the next round in the Champions League. I agree with you, I see Atletico is not a team that can knock Man City out of the Champions League. But I admit that Atletico are not a team that Man City can easily beat, but because Man City did have a better performance and also better quality players, Man City should have beaten and eliminated Atletico in the Champions League quarter-finals. It is no secret that Manchester City are one of the strongest teams in the Champions League this season but again, they are facing an Atletico Madrid that have quality and the strength to face and probably frustrate them. The game is going to be quite wild. It is more about the contrasting playing styles of both teams. It's quite interesting that this Manchester City vs Atletico madrid have been all about Atletico defensive style and how frustrating they can be to their opponents and City on the other hand, is believed to be better going forward but will have difficulty breaking down Atletico but the truth is going by the stats this season, Manchester City have an excellent defense too. City have only allowed only two goals in the last seven matches but again, Atletico will be their biggest test so far this season. |

tottenham and arsenal points are the same but arsenal still has 2 games pending and i can make sure arsenal will stop in 4th place. while manchester united has dropped to 7th place equivalent to west ham. Spurs played great today as a team but remember it was against Newcastle United. Every team can get a win like that against Newcastle. Kane, Son and Doherty were especially great today. Arsenal's real competition is for third place against Chelsea. Arsenal can get nine points in next three matches, opponents are weak teams. Arsenal should beat Crystal Palace, Brighton and Southampton without too much effort. Then we can see them in third place. The match in April 20 will be very important for both teams. Until then all three of these teams will try to make no mistake. Tottenham Hotspur did great today, that was an exceptionally great performance against Newcastle United. They were exciting all round and it was a well deserved victory but the hype of them contending for top 4 is quite unnecessary because first, we all know that they are pretty much inconsistent in the league this season. Secondly, there is Arsenal who are literally on fire before the international break; Tottenham have had two games more than Arsenal FC and very likely Arsenal will win those games. |

It was hell of a game for Tottenham! The result of the first half was unexpected to me because they were dominating it but still couldn't get ahead. But in the second half, Tottenham were like a completely different team. They scored four goals and won a huge victory by 5-1 over Newcastle in this home game. Tottenham showed once again how serious they were about the Champions League ticket this season. Arsenal haven't still played their game on this week but it is still good to see this level of competition between them.
Tottenham Hotspur were superb against Newcastle United literally all their players were fantastic but to mention one exceptional player in the game was Romero who had the entire Newcastle attack in his pocket, making them toothless in front. With this win Spurs has indeed established themselves as a contender for the top four but I honestly don't trust them because they hardly have a run of wins. I think if Arsenal starts flopping then Tottenham will have a chance but I sincerely don't see it happening. |

I think the essence of the news is not in the desires of Ronaldo (they have not changed) but in the desires of the management. If the management of United wants to get rid of the legend, then this is sad news and, in my opinion, a mistake. Perhaps this is part of the agreement with Zidane - as far as I know, he does not want to see Ronaldo in his team.
Hmm Zidane to United .. is that close? All I heard was ten Haag to become next but still it's not done yet. Anyway Ronaldo is a world class striker and I couldn't think of a reason why anyone would not want him in their team. He is a good leader and still with the age he still got it. I don't think he is gonna move away from United as of now. Rumors about the arrival of Zidane at United have long ceased to circulate, but this does not mean that this cannot happen. When I heard the news about the possible departure of Ronaldo, I first of all remembered Zidane - for him this is one of the key issues. I don’t know for what reason, maybe because Ronaldo’s authority is no less than Zidane’s and Zidane cannot work in such conditions, given that as a player Ronaldo is no longer top 1. Honestly, I think I have had enough of all these speculations up and down regarding Manchester United recruiting a coach, I think Zidane is not coming to the club because United don't is not his type of team and he is smart enough to know this. He won't want to dent his reputation. Although I think Erik Ten Hag won't give Manchester United the desired success but he will be more productive than Zidane with the club. He can work on players from the academy and make the first team players but Zidane will want massive recruitments which I know United won't give to him. |

What he would have played immediately second half began is Osimen, Ighalo and Sadiq. There was no how we wouldn't have gotten another goal.
Austin Eguavoen thinks coaching is jumping up and down and shouting instructions to players on the pitch. He does not understand that technical drawing is part of it. Maybe he sees foreign coaches when they draw on papers and think they are only drawing players for Fine and applied Art class and that they are wasting their time. All members of that bench should be sacked. I discovered he was not capable to handle the Eagles when we lost to handicapped Tunisia at the AFCON. Coaches like Austin Eguavoen make me want to hate local coaches, that guys doesn't know what he's doing. The last time Nigerian went out of the AFCON shamefully was when he was in charge same as not qualifying for the world cup finals. I strongly want local coaches as I believe they're our best bet in getting the best out of the players since they'll understand them better instead of foreign coaches but we should actually give opportunity to coaches with great tactic and not merely based on high ranking. The draws for the world cup games are in and in my opinion senagal has the easiest draw. They can easily defeat other team member in group A expect Netherlands. Ghana has a hungry Ronaldo to face, that'll be a tough group. The official soundtrack for the World cup is out and an African was also represented on the playlist. Austin Eguavoen actually resigned after the failure of super eagles to qualify for the world cup and it is good be did because we should build a national culture of leaving office when targets aren't met. For that, I respect his sense of honor but again I'm very disappointed he couldn't take the opportunity that was given him, he had bunch of talents to get the task done but seemingly don't know how to use them. He should go learn and reinvent himself if he is still interested in coaching. Senegal seems to have the easiest group but it is also tricky; that group might not be as easy as many are assuming. |

If you have been following history you will be familiar with Manchester City's pattern of play, they are always ready looking for opportunities, the championship is not different that is how they have been playing since from the first round of the premier down to the champion league man city are equal to the task.
I've been following Man City's history (at least since Pep has been coach) and what I've learned from it is that in the important CL games ManCity has always failed. That is also a reason why they have not won the CL so far. And in my opinion, that was largely due to Pep Guariola. By the way, the same thing happened at Bayern Munich when he was eliminated three times in a row in the semifinals of the CL. The Bayern coaches before and after him have won the CL with Bayern, however. This clearly shows a pattern and if Pep does not change this, he will not win the CL this year either. Just my two cents. It's quite a shock that Pep Guardiola is yet to win the Champions League again since leaving Barcelona probably he needs Messi and players who can be on the level of Xavi/ Iniesta to able to win the competition again. I think this Manchester City team isn't bad, just probably he needs a prolific striker but nonetheless that team is capable of winning any team in Europe. Guardiola will need to look into his adamant approach to games and do something about that because there's no Messi/Iniesta that can produce a moment of magic for him in this City side. |

Transfer rumours: Manchester City are optimistic they can see off competition from Real Madrid to sign Borussia Dortmund and Norway's 21-year-old striker Erling Braut Haaland this summer. Apparently only these two clubs remained in the race for Haaland. Who will win this race? Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is the favourite to become the new Manchester United manager and he says he hopes the Dutch club will understand if he decides to "to take the next step" in his career. Has this already been agreed and is Eric ten The Hague really the right solution for Manchester United? Newcastle United want to sign 29-year-old Barcelona and Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho, currently on loan at Aston Villa. Newcastle is still doing a very good job with bringing in new players and strengthening the team. Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is "confident" the club will be able to sort out a new contract for Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, 29. Is Tuchel too optimistic here? Aston Villa are preparing to break their transfer record again this summer and are likely to spend more than £150m on new signings. Aston Villa seems to have big plans for next season  Source: https://www.bbc.com/sport/60958842Erik Ten Hag in all sincerity can't help Manchester United from their woes, their problem is beyond just coaching but from the look of things he is the favorite to get the job and apparently, he is the best at moment but he will need a time, I mean a lot of it to fix this Manchester United squad. Manchester City is the likely destination for Erling Haaland. I think Coutinho will lure to Newcastle especially that they have the money to spend. |

Brentford and Chelsea is something terrible, i but i believe that Chelsea will win the match, it just started some minutes ago but they have played up to 56 minutes, why Brentford have score 2:1 Chelsea
I'm in shock. The first 45 minutes was goalless and I thought Chelsea being the bigger club would win with a goal difference. Its 3-1, Thomas Frank has been phenomenal with this team. This is what international break does to a team. When you go on break, that form seem to die down. Similar situation may happen to other teams who were on fire before the international break. |

Brentford had a couple of chances they didn't take, they were better in the first half than Chelsea were. The celebration from Rudiger was entertaining. Brentford has equalized almost immediately. It is a game of strikes. Hopefully more goals would still come in and we would see a winner. Another goal for Brentford! Incredible. Brentford moving forward in April

Manchester City would keep their lead by the end of this week as well. Because Burnley are not even close to resist Manchester City now. They are one of the teams that are under the threat of relegating from the Premier League. Manchester City wouldn't do the same mistakes after drawing with Crystal Palace again here.
Both Manchester City and Liverpool are going to win their games, because they are playing small teams that are very much below there standard, Watford are bound for the relegation this season and Liverpool will capitalise on that and hammer them lot of goals, Burnley will be tough a little but Manchester City will pass this test even though the scoreline won't be much, the two tough fixtures this week are Manchester United Vs Leicester and crystal palace Vs Arsenal I don't really think arsenal can win this game without a strong fight from Patrick viera side same thing with Manchester United because Brendan Rodgers has started mixing the right antidote for his sick performances this season. The big boys in the English premier league, by big boys I meant Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea though they will easily run over their opponents and take the maximum 3 points. Crystal Palace versus Arsenal will be a cracker, although Arsenal are in a fine form we still know crystal palace got players that can cause problems for them. If Wilfried Zaha and Michael Olise will be fit for the game and will play, Arsenal needs to be at their very best. I think both team will score goals. |

Tottenham will host Newcastle at the Tottenham stadium. Spurs need to aimed at top 4 this season, and they are not ready to back out, not when they are this close to slide in from behind. The game is going be in favour of Tottenham, because they will shoots their best shots at their opponents for the qualifier of the top 4 spot. Arsenal won't also give up, the competitions for the top 4 this season is going to really high. Because most teams like Tottenham, Manchester United and westham are in for the race, which I know gunners are not ready to lose the position to any of the teams. Not when they have reached this far. Arsenal have not feature in the champions league for a long period of time ever since been humiliated by Bayern Munich in a goal aggregate of 10-2. It was their worst nightmare, so arteta won't let this opportunity for gunners to qualify for the champions league this season swipe off their feets.
Is really an interesting battle for the top four race this season, Tottenham Hotspur will do everything possible to win Newcastle in this weekend game, they will prepare very well since they are not playing in any European competition, and during the just concluded international break they didn't have any injuries issues, Antonio Conte were in good form before they go for international break and the way the players have started believing in Conte I guess they won't have any issues continue from where they stop. Tottenham maybe big a chance will definitely win in the match later, the race for 4th place will be very interesting if its Arsenal who will play later against Crystal Palace with a Draw result, at least that is what is expected this time. However, it's a slim possibility because Arsenal also still has 1 match left, which might top 4 still be in Arsenal grasp, But I admit anything can happen at top 4. I will be really surprised if Tottenham Hotspur manage to make top four, it seem difficult for them to go on a winning run, their record have been awful. Although they just had back to back wins after some inconsistent record in the last two months but if they can win at Newcastle United that will do a lot of good for them as a team and probably give them the momentum to fight for the top four but again, I think Arsenal FC are in a better place and I don't see them slowing down anytime soon. |

Manchester United are no longer playing in the Champions League, so they need to focus on the EPL... They should beat Leicester City in their next game! But the stats so far are not in Man U's favour because they couldn't beat Leicester for 4 games in a row... I wonder if the situation will change tomorrow, but Man U really need to pick up points! I think a good bet here is that both teams will score at odds of 1.7...
Manchester United must win this match if they still want to have hope of playing in the Europa league next season, I think that way there will be greater motivation from them to win this match, although the match will be tough I predict Manchester United will be able to win in this match. this match and broke the record of not being able to win in a row against Leicester City. I don't think Manchester United are strong anymore. They are now a team of average quality. Leicester, on the other hand, is a team that is very difficult to predict about their performance. They are a very irregular team. However, they often surprise us with a good performance against big team. Leicester's defense is weak. Can Manchester United players take advantage of this weak defense? If not, then I want to say, Leicester will win this match. If the rumour that Leicester City will be without Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi for Saturday's game at Old Trafford is true, then I will predict a easy win for Manchester United. Wilfred Ndidi is really important for the midfield of that team and an attack without Vardy will be toothless, lets hope it's just a April fool prank from the Leicester City media. None the less, Manchester United are obviously not at their best but everyone would expect they can still beat this Leicester team. |
