I am still confident Liverpool will get the result they need at Anfield against Atletico Madrid, but we saw on Tuesday night just how tough that will be to achieve. The final pass was just not there for the Reds in the first leg, which is something that will have to change if they are going to turn the tie around and continue the defence of their Champions League title. But, as I said during my co-commentary of the game on BBC Radio 5 live, the main reason Liverpool drew a rare blank in their 1-0 defeat was Atletico's brilliant defensive performance.
This fixture is usually reliable when it comes to both entertainment and goals. As well as the local derby factor, both teams play an attractive brand of football and we expect a feast for the eyes. Three of the last five meetings between these teams have featured at least four goals and we expect this fixture to live up to that standard. Back over 3.5 goals.
Blackburn Rovers U23 will host Derby County U23 for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory in this game. Derby U23 have better team than their opponent. Derby have an effective attack. Also, Derby have better results in the last mutual matches. Also, we have Blackburn Rovers U23 who's is not very good team in this campaign. Blackburn is one of the outsiders in this league. I expect, the hosts will pay attention on their defense. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
Egyptian forward Salah has been struggling with an ankle injury since a heavy challenge from Leicester City's Hamza Choudhury during Liverpool's 2-1 win early last month. The Warm-Up: 'Humble' Jose hints at title push - but can he back up big talk? Solskjaer relaxed at Man Utd despite Pochettino availability He was ruled out of Egypt's matches against Kenya and Comoros and was pictured wearing a protective boot on his left ankle last week.
This was followed by "Who put the ball in the German net?" in honour of that never-to-be-forgotten moment against Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp. Those same songs are heard at every United game, including at Cardiff nearly 12 months ago, five days after executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward made the call to Solskjaer and asked him to put a smile back on the club's face as they slipped down the Premier League under Jose Mourinho.
We are conscious of it because it has happened already in Italy," added Guardiola. The league is suspended, and in Spain the next two weeks are behind closed doors. It is going to happen here. The tendency rises at the same level as Italy before and in Spain right now. The other issue you have to ask is, is it worse to play football without the spectators? We do our job for the people and if the people cannot come to watch us, there is no sense.
Wolves' two goals were very different. The first owed a lot to the Hammers' poor marking, as they allowed Dendoncker space to poke home Moutinho's dead ball. And the second was a result of Jonny's superb lung-busting run which was followed by a pinpoint finish from Cutrone. Haller disappoints for the HammersWest Ham were poor.
A reminder that while we correctly treat football as an escape from the more serious things in life, it’s still very much part of an extremely fetid world. Cancel your plans for a lovely old evening of Gazprom Watching football these days, you’re often struck by the troubling sense that you’re merely a corporate shill, suckered into watching what amounts to a product dreamt up by some marketing wonk which bears very little resemblance to the game we all fell in love with when we were too young to know better.

However, the Argentine fan-favourite failed to deliver any silverware despite having a squad full of internationals and that is something Mourinho is determined to change as he prepares for the trip to West Ham United on Saturday. Asked if he had to keep hold of Kane to bring success to Tottenham he told a group of reporters at the club's training ground: "When you try to buy Kane it's an impossible mission.
His idea was probably that Neymar could come back to Barcelona and take over as leader when he says his goodbyes perhaps two, three or four years down the line. Messi would love to have him back at the club and I'm sure a real effort will be made this summer to make it happen, not just because Messi would like him there but also because it is what is needed. Neymar and Messi get on very well together on and off the pitch and they are still in touch with each other on a regular basis, including keeping a WhatsApp group with Suarez.

West Ham is in poor form despite pulling out a great result away at Chelsea recently where they even won the game with 1-0 in the end but Chelsea has been poor this season in home games just 4-2-4 record for them at home, so not that big of a surprise in my eyes, but West Ham is not really playing at their own stadium but at the Olympic Stadium in London, and here they lost 4 games in a row right now.
We were not sure if he should continue, but he was adamant he was going to be OK. Maguire's absence would compound Solskjaer's selection problems, with centre backs Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo sidelined and United already without midfielders Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay. Solskjaer hopes to have Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard back for the City clash after they missed the Wolves game through illness.
Real Sociedad in great shape! They have won 8 of their last 9 games, while winning confidently, scoring many goals. Their line-up this season turned out to be strong thanks to the arrival of Edgar. But Barca, after losing to her principal rival in El Clasico, will be required to show strong football with a large number of goals scored in her field. At home, as you know, Barca is especially good and scores a lot. For Edgar as a player of Real Madrid, it is now very important to score in Barcelona and make a contribution while on loan, in a possible championship of Real Madrid. And Sociedad himself with such a series of victories will not agree to a draw, he will try to win. The game will turn out very spectacular with goals, I advise you to watch!

Uncompetitive rivals need a shake-up Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man United will need to add consistency to close that gap. There's also a case of the clubs needing to get their houses in order. The Premier League is the poorest it's ever been as a competitive competition. As much as you can say that Liverpool have dominated, top teams have no consistency and the rest of the league hasn't provided much competition to them.
Mbappe had time to hug a young fan wearing a Santa Claus hat who made it onto the pitch and produced a book from under his jacket for the World Cup-winning forward to sign as he was escorted off by security. It took an own goal from Sofiane Alakouch to break the deadlock for Marseille against second-bottom Nimes, with Dario Benedetto and Dimitri Payet adding a goal each in a 3-1 win that kept them in touch with PSG at the top of the standings.
The top 18 teams are closer than that. Focusing on Forest and Leeds in particular, the gap is four points. Leeds are in the second automatic promotion spot and Forest have a play-off place thanks to their fourth-place position. Despite their lofty positions, both teams lost at the weekend (both suffering their seventh league defeats of the campaign).

They played like the home team in one of the Premier League's more unusual derbies, which developed in the 1970s because of a rivalry between the two clubs' managers at the time - Terry Venables at Palace and Alan Mullery at Brighton. Most of Brighton's efforts in the first half were from long range, as Palace held them at arm's length. Aaron Mooy curled wide from outside the box, while Yves Bissouma and Pascal Gross had efforts from distance saved.
Pohang and Seoul is supposed to be an even clash and they actually is very even sides. Still, there is another fact we have to consider here, and that is, they both score and concede a good number of goals, in total and between them. Last time around in 2019 at Pohang's the result was 2 x 1.

I imagine it's tough and you have to work hard. Life is not easy and always in the world the people who survive are the ones who cope with the bad moments," Guardiola added. It is what it is. Accept it, work hard to come back as soon as possible.

Ismaily will host Misr Lel Makasa for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will closer to victory in this game. Ismaily have advantage at home stadium. Also, Ismaily have better results in the last mutual matches. True, the hosts have a poor results in the last matches. Nevertheless, they will try to make a positive result. Also, we have, Misr Elmaqasah who's is very average team in this season. Also, Misr Elmaqasah is not very good team away from home. I expect, the hosts have advantage on the home field. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Ismaily to win.
both teams will chase the win here and I m pretty confident that is going to give to us a game with a lot of chances on both sides and at least 3 goals scored at the end combined!rkc did now won for 5 straight games and of course they are very close to relegation zone and versus terrible Sparta defense they should surely be able to score one or two goals and on the other hand Sparta did not won a game on the road since the second game on the road in the season so I expect from them one or two goals also!
Messi inspires Barca win as Dortmund slip into third Disappointing Liverpool forced to wait for qualification after draw with Napoli Lautaro Martinez put Inter ahead in the 10th minute, connecting with a pass by Romelu Lukaku who beat two Slavia defenders on the right side of the box. The two swapped roles in the 35th minute, but the video referee disallowed Lukaku's effort because of a foul.
I see the hosts with home advantage here being able to take profits from it and end up with all 3 points as they won their last two home games in the league without conceding a single goal once with 1-0 and second game with 2-0 here at home, they have a better team overall and dominated Zaglebie away from home at the start of this season but could only settle for a 1-1 draw in the end despite having a lot more shots and should have really won that game as well now at home they should make no mistake this time.
Ancelotti sounds ominous warning - analysisBBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNultyAncelotti's calm and measured approach to all of football's various fortunes is legendary - so for Everton's manager to use the word "unacceptable" to describe the 3-0 loss at Wolves sounds an ominous warning to their players. Ancelotti has done well to engineer a position of comfort for an Everton squad that has let down a succession of managers and is a monument to a wretched recruitment strategy in recent years.
We were in a position where we were going into the Yugoslavia game knowing a win would take us through. It was a sterling showing and remains the last time Brazil were denied victory by Scotland. I watched the highlights recently and what impressed me was how balanced the team was," said Hay. They didn't have Pele, but you are still playing against that magic yellow jersey. In the first 10 minutes we were under the cosh a wee bit, but from then on we were slightly the better team.

Son bursts into the West Ham area and fires a low ball into the six-yard box, where Lucas Moura arrives to stab the ball home. WHAT A CHANCE! A terrible free-kick from Snodgrass gives Spurs the chance to break. Son leads it, and slides a lovely ball through to Moura. He shoots hooribly, hopelessly wide with the goal gaping.
Sergio Romero produced one fine save to deny Matt Doherty but that was the only event of note.

Manchester City make the short journey to rivals Manchester United on Sunday. The two sides have already met three times this season with City winning in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Old Trafford, while United won the second leg and the Premier League game at the Etihad. Since the Premier League began in 1992, 14 players have scored three or more goals in Manchester derbies. How many of them do you think you can name? You've got five minutes.
A healthy start to the season means they are unlikely to be dragged into the relegation battle as they currently sit nine points above third-bottom Mallorca but European football next season now appears a distant dream at San Mames. ATLETICO LOOK TRANSFORMED Few gave a stuttering Atletico Madrid side any hope against Liverpool last week, but their backs-to-the-wall Champions League victory appears to have galvanised Diego Simeone's side.
