Pencilled in as one of the front runners to lift the Europa League, hosts Roma will be looking to avoid any slip up on Thursday and secure their place in the last 32. Having taken 8 points from their 5 matches so far, the Italians have met all expectations and all but have their passage wrapped up.
To be asked to finish a quarter of the season under new rules and conditions is an entirely different proposition. How can the long-term future of clubs be determined under these fundamentally changed conditions? How is there any semblance of fairness? To wave aside all the fears and concerns is too simplistic. Surely all 20 clubs must agree the fairest way forward to complete the season?"Player contracts a Monday focusThe national lead for football policing, deputy chief constable Mark Roberts, told ITV that clubs should "get a grip" and stop complaining about neutral venues.
There's so much slapstick in the Scottish game no mere mortal can cover it all, but here's a heartfelt attempt at an alternative season review, from 20 to 1 with weirdness pretty much everywhere. From worthy champions to epic failureHow much changes in the last eight games?Pick your Premiership team of the year20. Glen Schreuder's glassesWhen Glen Schreuder's glasses got broken as he celebrated Aberdeen's Scottish Cup win over St Mirren at the end of February, the club took the unusual step of tracking him down, buying a new pair, and getting Sam Cosgrove to present them to him at a special ceremony.
Indeed, you have to go back to 8th December 2018 for Celta's last success on the road, which ironically came here at La Ceramica. Vigo secured a thrilling 2-3 triumph and they repeated that scoreline in March's return fixture at Balaidos to notch an impressive league double over El Submarino Amarillo.
Meanwhile, an ankle injury and related issues had restricted Paul Pogba to just eight appearances this season for Manchester United, with his last back on Boxing Day, but he is expected to be fit for football's return. Reds striker Marcus Rashford, out of action since January with a back injury, is also nearing full fitness. As mentioned, Bournemouth will be particularly boosted by the break in play as they should be able to call upon a number of first-team players who had otherwise looked out of the picture.
He's come in and been a leader in the group. I've been impressed. Solskjaer said fifth-placed United were heading into the clash at Anfield full of confidence despite losing 3-1 on their last visit. The last two performances we've had against Liverpool, we've drawn twice (at home) and been closest to winning both those games," the Norwegian added.
But I don’t want to be crying all the time, want to focus on the players available. One possible replacement for Kane in the Spurs line-up is 17-year-old Republic of Ireland international Troy Parrott. Parrott made his debut for Spurs earlier this season in the EFL Cup defeat to Colchester United before making his first Premier League appearance under Jose Mourinho during the 5-0 defeat of Burnley.
I was hope that this match will have option over 3, on asian goals, but never mind - I will take this one, who is really more risky, but also, very very real. First fact here is fact that this two rivals are in last match played very interesting match with four goals, in who was 2-2, so I hope in same story and here. Maziya is team who is not played too efficient in last period, but Abahani was brilliant, from that side - in five of last six matches, they are played with three or more goals. It will be same and today.
Getty Images TALKING POINT A one-horse title race. If Liverpool fail to win the 19th league title of their history from here, it will be the biggest implosion our top-flight has ever seen. Only Newcastle in 1995-96 failed to lift the trophy having had a lead of 10 points at Christmas, and now Klopp's men not only have an even greater advantage than that, but they are obviously made of much sterner stuff than Kevin Keegan's all-out attackers.

Roma are making their way back with a solid record against the sides lower down in the table. They remain unbeaten against sides from eighth down, winning nine of 11 matches. They have scored the majority of their goals in those fixtures too, with 27 of their 29 goals coming in those 11 games. Having scored 12 times in six meetings with Fiorentina, they should add to that here.
United responded well to the early setback though with Nemanja Matic hitting the cross-bar with a long-range effort and then forcing Everton keeper Jordan Pickford into a diving save with another well-struck drive. It was January signing Bruno Feranandes, the Portuguese midfielder who has brought some much-needed creativity to the United side, who put the visitors level with a superb low shot from outside the box in the 31st minute.

In the visiting team, there will also be some trouble with the unavailable players, both Stefan Radu and Adam Marusic are sidelined with injuries. Their incredible striker and top scorer Ciro Immobile is also the best scorer of Serie A. He is in superb form this season, with 14 goals netted and 5 assists made, and I believe that he will add some more goals to his tally in this match.
Premier League clubs will have their most thorough discussion to date about what should happen if the season is curtailed at their latest meeting on Thursday. All clubs will be given a say in a detailed debate over how to finalise the league table if the season cannot be completed, though it is widely expected that relegation will not be scrapped. A fixture list for the first few rounds of the rebooted season are also due to be confirmed, along with kick-off times and broadcast plans, though it is understood there will be some leeway for clubs to offer feedback.

Following Forest’s three wins in four meetings at the City Ground, we expect the hosts to take the points in this clash. We’re going with a home win here, while we’re backing a 2-0 defeat for a Middlesbrough side who have failed to score in 56% of their away trips. Forest have kept a clean sheet in each of their home wins this term and 62% of their home games have seen under 2.5 goals, so a 2-0 home win is our pick.
Despite their worrying league position, Cologne have been enjoying an encouraging run of form in recent weeks. They have earned seven of their 14 Bundesliga points over the past four games. They have won both of their last two Bundesliga fixtures. They will be high on confidence going into this Saturday's important fixture.

However, the Cottagers have won the previous four league meetings between these two at Craven Cottage have all been won by Fulham. They’re hoping to make it five in a row here.
But two goals in the last 10 minutes, from Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos, ensured a nervy finale. Tottenham 3-3 Ajax (2019)Star players: Moura, Son, Eriksen, Van de Beek, Tadic, Ziyech, De Ligt Last season may well have produced the two greatest semi-final second legs in Champions League history.

But Spurs clearly believe the talent that first carried him into the Benfica and Portugal teams is now being overlooked. Although they have limited their losses by signing Fernandes on loan, Spurs desperately need a catalyst to inject life into the Mourinho era. Only time will tell if that’s the 21-year-old midfielder.
With the low scoring pattern in Crystal Palace's games this season well-established, and Arsenal's team-wide tactical rigidification in process, the under 2.5 goals market looks the smartest avenue of approach for Saturday's game.

Juventus Managua will against Walter Ferreti in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win or draw for Walter Ferreti. Walter Ferreti have better result on last 5 match in league due to Walter Ferreti have won in 3 match and 2 match is lose.

Nevertheless, my prediction that Walter Ferreti can beat Juventus Managua due to Walter Ferreti have better result on last 5 match in head to head. Walter Ferreti have won in 3 match, 1 match is draw and 1 match is lose.
A win for either side will make survival look very likely, especially if Aston Villa and Bournemouth don't win their midweek games. West Ham had a good win at the weekend and have an in-form player in Michail Antonio. Home advantage is going to be so important in this game. Watford struggle on their travels and haven't scored in any of the last four. Go for the Hammers to get a vital home win.

Plenty has been written about Liverpool, so let’s devote a medium-sized paragraph to pay tribute to the side that finally managed to stop them. The result pulled Watford out of the relegation zone - which Gary Neville clearly felt so happy about, he had to crack open the champagne. Well done Watford! Zeroes: The Bundesliga There were incredible scenes in German football this weekend as *two* matches were disrupted due to insults aimed at Hoffenheim owner Dietmar Hopp.
Whilst we think Crewe will come out of this game with the win, we think it’ll be a close encounter and quite nervy at times. As a result, we’re backing Crewe to win 1-0, a result that would be enough to get them into the fourth round of the cup and boost their excellent season even further. Barnsley, whilst be disappointed with a loss, won’t dwell on a defeat here as they aim to escape the drop to League One where the two teams could meet again next season.
Hendo is ready," Klopp told a news conference on Tuesday. Whether we do that, I don't know – maybe I know but I don't say. Ali (hip) will not be ready, that's for sure. And he won't be ready for Monday (when Liverpool visit Everton in the league). Robertson, who had an ankle injury earlier in the campaign, said he had sat out the weekend's match so he would be ready for the Atletico game.
Aided by the return to full fitness of their talismanic forward Troy Deeney, who was starting just his sixth game of the season after a knee injury, Watford made this a scrappy affair and ultimately deserved their win. Deeney covered nearly a kilometre more than his United counterpart Martial as he made life uncomfortable for the visiting defence and that was replicated all over the pitch, with Pearson's side running over 5km more than their opponents.
Both teams have scored in the last five Chelsea away league games. Both teams have scored in four of the last five Chelsea matches. The last six Manchester City games have seen both teams score in five of them. This is the evening kick off in the Premier League and by the time it begins, Manchester City could be 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool.
Players in Spain's top women's division have signed a collective agreement on pay and conditions that guarantees them a minimum salary of 16,000 euros (£13,386). It comes after a strike by players in November that saw Primera Division fixtures postponed. The new agreement also secures benefits for the players that include paid holiday and maternity leave. This is an historic day," said Spain's sports minister Irene Lozano.
Jan 6 (Reuters) - Spanish football crosses new horizons when its re-booted Super Cup competition begins on Wednesday in Saudi Arabia, a move that will significantly boost the national federation's coffers but has angered human rights groups and local supporters. Real Madrid and Valencia meet in the first semi-final in Jeddah on Wednesday before Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid 24 hours later for a place in Sunday's final.
Nice have recently had an awful record in this competition with them exiting at the ninth round (the first stage that Ligue 1 teams enter) in each of the last five years. They have never really had an easy first round with many Ligue 1 teams like Toulouse and Rennes knocking them out in recent years but they finally have a great opportunity to progress here against Étoile.
Lyon are better than their league position would suggest. That's a widely-known fact that can be backed up by the expected points table for Ligue 1. However, things haven't been going their way this season and we don't expect that to change in Paris. There have great encounters between these teams in recent. Yet Lyon are depleted while PSG remains at full-strength. This should be a relatively routine victory over a side that can show little more than spirit. Back PSG to win and both teams to score.
Still - it's a family game. Leave it out. Zoom hangout A truly electric atmosphere here - not a smartphone in sightThat's what people have done in Denmark, where Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus set up a virtual Zoom grandstand to bring fans into the stadium. It's about creating an atmosphere around the game so that the players will see that they have the support from the city, even though there are no supporters in the stands," the project's co-ordinator Soren Carlsen told BBC World Service's Mani Djazmi.
First test for Hannover's Neutrainer Kenan Kojak, who will take his first seat on the bench after the break-up of Mirko Slomka. Because after the descent, the 96-he is in league 2 again on a relegation zone. Especially the home record is desolate with 0-4-2 at 3: 9 goals, so only three home goals.
