Mourinho looking for a way out of the crisis in Turkey

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">Manchester United travel to Istanbul after a frustrating game against Burnley for the weekend, while Fenerbahce scored five in their domestic league.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Fenerbahce have had a poor start to their domestic campaign, but have won their last two matches with clean sheets. They have improved since their defeat at Old Trafford and will look to avenge last week’s loss in front of their own fans.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Chelsea’s extended their incredible run of unbeaten games to eight with a great win over Manchester City on Saturday.</span><br />

The Blues had to come back from a goal down at the Etihad but won the game 3-1 thanks to a clinical second half performance.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It was a game marred by unsavory scenes of scuffles between players towards the end but Antonio Conte’s men showed great character to grab all three points.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Gary Cahill put the ball into his own net on the brink of half time thanks to a cruel deflection on Jesus Navas’ right-wing </div>

This handed the initiative to Chelsea, who put more energy into their play in the second half to grab an equalizer in the 60th minute.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Cesc Fabregas, restored to the starting XI in place of Nemanja Matic, picked Diego Costa out with a superb ball over the top of the City defence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It was a carbon copy of their chemistry from Chelsea’s title-winning 2014/15 season as Costa chested the ball down and brushed off Nicolas Otamendi to score past Claudio Bravo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The visitors did not look back after that, with Costa setting up Willian’s 70th-minute goal with an excellent through pass.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
After that Conte’s men stayed compact and had to do some last-ditch defending as City piled on the pressure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
In the 90th minute, Eden Hazard got his name on the score-sheet, clinically finishing off Marcos Alonso’s pass to put the game beyond doubt.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
With frustration creeping in, Sergio Aguero was shown a straight red card for his challenge on David Luiz in extra time.A minute later, Fernandinho too was given his marching orders after a physical altercation with Fabregas. Both City players will now miss the games against Leicester, Watford and Arsenal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Hazard, who is enjoying a renaissance in 2016/17, praised his team’s fight as they maintained their hold on the #1 spot on the table.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“It is a good game for us, we did well,” <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/739447/Eden-Hazard-Chelsea-win-Manchester-City-news-gossip" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #006dcc;">Hazard told Sky Sports post-match</a>.</div>

We played well to come here and at half-time at 1-0, it’s not easy to win the game. But we did very well.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">

The Belgian reserved special praise for Costa, who received the Man of the Match award for his goal, assist and brilliant all-round performance.</div>
<div class="copy-paste-block" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“[Costa] gives everything on the pitch, again today he scores and assists,” Hazard added.</div>
<div class="copy-paste-block" style="box-sizing: inherit;">
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“He’s been on fire since the start of the season and I want him to stay on top.”</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Luiz also praised Chelsea’s performance and also their ability to stay grounded even as tensions erupted at the end of the contest.</div>

The REAL reason why Fernandinho was so angry at Fabregas

Unknown 0 11:41 PM

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">New footage has come to light explaining further what really happened between Cesc Fabregas and Fernandinho on Saturday.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: medium; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The Chelsea and Manchester City stars were involved in a physical scuffle as <a href="http://www.sofascore.com/news/watch-goals-chelsea-destroy-man-city-3-1/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #006dcc;">the Londoners defeated their title rivals 3-1 at the Etihad</a>.</div>

The unsavory scenes erupted when Sergio Aguero tackled Chelsea’s David Luiz dangerously as the pair raced for a ball.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Heated arguments, pushes and shoves engulfed what had been a thoroughly entertaining game up to that point, with managers and match officials having to </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Fernandinho was shown a straight red card for grabbing Fabregas by the neck before pushing him over the advertising hoardings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
There were other players entangled in various altercations at that time, but it is the encounter between the two that got most physical.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
As can be seen towards the end of the video above (seek to 8:39), Fernandinho was way too aggressive towards the Chelsea man and fully deserved his dismissal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
What many people might not know is that the Spaniard had provoked his rival by slapping him on the face before the Brazilian replied by flooring him. Check out the video below:</div>

By the time the violence erupted, it was already job done from a Chelsea perspective. It was extra time and the scoreline was 3-1 in favor of the visitors, with the home side visibly frustrated.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Asked about the incident, Man City boss Pep Guardiola apologized for the behaviour of his players but surprisingly defended Aguero, who he believes was not malicious in his high challenge on Luiz.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">

It is a pity, I would like to apologise.</div>

“[Fernandinho] went to defend his teammate.</div>

“Both players were strong. Both players. He (Luiz) went down and he (Aguero) touched him. It wasn’t intentional.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“I don’t think [it was a red card]. Maybe I have to understand many things here, but the referee says red card, so red card. We accept that. It was a red card. OK, we are going to deal with that.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte had very different views from those of his counterpart. According to the Italian tactician, Aguero’s tackle was dangerous and was rightly punished by referee <span class="st" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Anthony Taylor.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“This final [stage] wasn’t good. I hope only that Luiz is not injured after this tackle,” said Conte.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“It is very difficult to explain this final part of the game. I support the referee. It is important that the referee whistles and we ‘finish’ [do what he says].”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The dramatic win saw Chelsea maintain their stranglehold the #1 spot on the Premier League table while City, now 4th-placed, face at least three games without the suspended star duo of Aguero and Fernandinho.</div>

Zorya Luhansk vs Manchester United: Match preview and prediction

Unknown 0 11:36 PM

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">Manchester United are within touching distance of the Round of 32 in the Europa League and, if all goes to plan against Zorya Luhansk on Thursday evening, they could end up as Group A winners.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">In order to qualify, Jose Mourinho’s men simply need to pick up at least a point against bottom-of-the-table Zorya Luhansk at Chornomorets Stadium. Manchester United’s record against Ukrainian teams bodes well given they are unbeaten in seven matches. United would also go through with a defeat if Feyenoord fail to win at home to leaders Fenerbahce, while Zorya will definitely finish fourth in the group.</span><br />

Feyenoord’s clash with Fenerbahce is certain to have a bearing on United’s position in Group A, but the Mourinho is more concerned with qualifying rather than fretting on topping the standings.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“We know one point is enough,” he added. “We know the result in Rotterdam also has an influence, but I just want to be focused on our game. Try to win, try to be in a position where we don’t suffer, where we’re not in trouble. Let’s try to win but knowing a point is enough.</div>

“To be honest, I don’t think [winning the group] is very important. The second leg at home or away doesn’t have a big influence. The most important thing is to qualify from what’s probably the most difficult group in the Europa League and a group that has more quality than some Champions League groups.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“It’s a difficult group. Even Zorya, you can see how difficult they are because, at home, they have two draws and have only lost 1-0 away to us and Feyenoord and 2-0 to Fenerbahce with 10 men.</div>
<div class="page-header__intro" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Manchester<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> </span>United were frustratingly held to a draw at Everton in the Premier League on Sunday and face another big game at home to Tottenham Hotspur only three days after taking on Zorya, so Mourinho will doubtless factor that into his team selection for the game in Odessa.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Zorya manager Yuriy Vernydub, whose team have already been eliminated from Group A, has been speaking to the media this afternoon and he is optimistic about the hosts’ chances.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
“Man United need these points but I think we can make history at our football club,” he said. “Of course we lost our first game with Man United but… I think our chances for this game is very good.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Zorya are certain to be eliminated from their maiden Europa League campaign, but the exiled Ukrainian side have drawn both their home games so far in their adopted home of Odessa.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Zorya were forced to leave their home city in 2014 because it is situated in the war-torn Donbass region of Ukraine. They’ve since been playing their home league games 300 miles away in Zaporizhia but that stadium doesn’t meet UEFA requirements, so they have been contesting their Europa League fixtures even further afield, in the southern port city of Odessa.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; margin: 16px 0px 0px;">

Manchester United eased to a 1-0 win over Zorya in September’s reverse fixture at Old Trafford, the first and only ever meeting between the sides. The Ukrainians proved to be stubborn opposition on the night, but a Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal was enough to seal an important win for the hosts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #404040; font-family: Roboto, Roboto, Helvetica, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Manchester United are unbeaten in three previous trips, which were all in the Champions League. The Reds drew 0-0 with Dynamo Kiev in September 2000 and beat the same opposition 4-2 in October 2007, en route to winning the competition that season. Most recently, Danny Welbeck scored in a 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in October 2013.</div>

UEFA Champions League: Leicester City vs Club Brugge preview

Unknown 0 7:01 AM

Premier League might not be going to plan, but Leicester City’s 
European adventure continues on Tuesday night as they welcome Club 
Brugge with the focus to secure a place in the last 16 of the Champions 
League. <br />

Claudio Ranieri’s men have won three times in their four matches so 
far in the competition, breaking all sorts of first-timer records in the
 process and need only a point to qualify for the next stage, but their 
domestic form has been horrendous.<br />

After their latest defeat to Watford, the Foxes are just two points above the drop zone as things stand, 16 points off top spot.<br />

Asked about their Premier League struggle during the press 
conference, Ranieri said: “I was waiting, not for a fantastic start [to 
the season] but not so bad. Of course I am very happy for the Champions 
League matches, but the balance is not so good. I am very frustrated 
with the Premier League.”<br />

Leicester’s forward Riyad Mahrez, who has come alive in the Champions
 League, scoring three and setting up one of their five goals in the 
competition, insisted that getting involved in the relegation battle is 
not in his mind.<br />

“I don’t want to think about [relegation] because you never know in 
football,” Mahrez said. “I know we have good quality to stay in the 
Premier League, maybe more.”<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnW8TNGolhpVO7dVy4tYQhi-tjuPiAoEeChoCfyAjQ-HIOWJ9gJKALoQIJY6EY1BHHj-UslSR-0WRNisF1f0wxPhOOcTp5Imma1mE7c2pdTh_CH8Ua_jAhJehRDH-jLgnVOL6lDCpozY/s1600/vardy-1479813337.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHnW8TNGolhpVO7dVy4tYQhi-tjuPiAoEeChoCfyAjQ-HIOWJ9gJKALoQIJY6EY1BHHj-UslSR-0WRNisF1f0wxPhOOcTp5Imma1mE7c2pdTh_CH8Ua_jAhJehRDH-jLgnVOL6lDCpozY/s640/vardy-1479813337.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
The Foxes have been brittle defensively, overrun in midfield at times
 and toothless tigers in attack. And one major reason for their domestic
 failures has been Jamie Vardy’s poor form. Vardy, who was the star man 
for Leicester’s fairytale last season, has gone off the boil.<br />

The England striker scored for England in the friendly against Spain,
 but is yet to break his duck in Europe, but a goal from him on Tuesday 
night could send Leicester into the knockout stages and boost his 
confidence.<br />

Leicester badly needs Vardy as well as Mahrez to hit form and Club 
Brugge, on the face of it, should be perfect opponents to restore a 
little confidence. The last time when these two sides met, Leicester ran
 out convincing 3-0 winners in September.<br />

Club Brugge are yet to register a point in Champions League and 
manager Michel Preud'homme is adamant his side can come up with a fight 
in the final two games.<br />

"I hope we can show something in our two final games. We want to 
remove that zero as quickly as possible, so we will do everything to 
grab points. Although that does not mean that we will take risks," he 
said.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80NC0TokREZQ4vJf9fC2fVsEgPrlNDYSt9Ow-Hemr_BPJM8cJzF77KKkq5GFwVzjiawCrefe5S1ju39SeyeVR9caKoS9pH0TOi-nLfIT5jbTOAeTTS8vEMFBu9I2RdPD6yZhGtQP9h_Q/s1600/Brugge-1479813462.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg80NC0TokREZQ4vJf9fC2fVsEgPrlNDYSt9Ow-Hemr_BPJM8cJzF77KKkq5GFwVzjiawCrefe5S1ju39SeyeVR9caKoS9pH0TOi-nLfIT5jbTOAeTTS8vEMFBu9I2RdPD6yZhGtQP9h_Q/s640/Brugge-1479813462.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Unlike Leicester, Brugge are well placed in the third position of 
their division A table with 27 points. Jelle Vossen has been the man 
behind their success with 5 goals in 15 appearances, and his team will 
rely on him for goals against Leicester City.<br />

But the visitors will be without the injured Abdoulay Diaby and the 
suspended Ruud Vormer. Lior Rafaelov has travelled with the squad, 
however his manager has confirmed he won't be part of the 18.<br />

Leicester have concerns over the fitness of Leonardo Ulloa, while 
Nampalys Mendy is out. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel also remains 
sidelined, thanks to a fractured hand but Islam Slimani faces a late 
fitness test after missing the visit to Watford.<br />

Leicester’s 20 game unbeaten run at home came to a halt earlier this 
month when West Brom defeated them 2-1. The run may be over, but Brugge 
will face an uphill task in becoming just the second team since 
September 2015 to beat the Foxes at the King Power stadium.<br />
