Chelsea v Watford (20:00 BST)I've heard some people lining Chelsea up for a go at the title next season but, defensively, I think they are well short of what is required to be contenders. They have got some excellent midfielders and forwards, but I am not sure that is going to enough to get them a top-four finish this time either. There is a lot of work to be done at the back and they are going to have more hiccups like the one they had when they lost to West Ham in midweek.
I just need more time with them. I know them well from playing against them, but you never know them well enough. The 56-year-old takes charge of a Spurs side that are 14th in the Premier League with just three league wins all season. However, Mourinho, who has won trophies at every club he has managed, is confident the club's fortunes will soon turn around. He said: "We cannot win the Premier League this season, but we can win it next season.
If I could bring Mbappe [to Real Madrid]. Hazard told Le Parisien. There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he'll be one of the best players in history. By 20 years old, I'd already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there's no comparison [between me and Mbappe].
Ole has started seeing the team he wanted - that's my feeling," Guardiola told a news conference ahead of City's League Cup semi-final first-leg against United on Tuesday. Even the last (league) game against Arsenal, that they lost, we saw what they want. It's not easy to handle a team at a big, big club.
It is the same with the Carabao Cup guys. You cannot just say 'sorry, your competition is not happening next year' and expect them to just go 'oh, ok then'. But I don't see a problem with players' contracts. Instead of finishing on 30 June, why not just have a blanket rule where they finish on 31 July, or whenever the season is finished. Chris Sutton: What about the players who are out of contract this summer and already know they are not getting new deals? They might think 'well, you didn't want me anyway - why should I put my body on the line for you?'I know what they might say, and I am not saying this is right - they might say 'you are going to have to give us more money'.
Racism a 'cancer in the game'Adams also described the current issues around racism in football as "absolutely shocking". Incidents of racism have marred a number of Premier League games this season, while England's Euro 2020 qualifying victory over Bulgaria in October 2019 was halted on multiple occasions due to racist chanting by supporters. It's a cancer in the game that we've had for many years," said Adams.
What has been impressive about Atalanta on the road is the fact that they've scored so many goals, notching 19 times in eight games, which is ten more than they've conceded. They've scored more than once in seven out of eight, scoring three or more on four occasions. Such stats do not bode well for the hosts, who've struggled defensively in recent home matches.
Now, we have to pick up the points to prove that. We came here to win. As an away performance from a team at the bottom of the league, it was an outstanding display. The Hatters are now second from bottom and only three points from safety after a four-game unbeaten run. Facing leaders Leeds away in their next fixture does look a big ask.
The SFL will inform about the further course of the championship in close cooperation with the authorities and the clubs next week. The average attendance for the Swiss Super League this season is 11,116. The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Switzerland has risen to 15, and more than 100 people are in quarantine.
I don't know why we have such a big odds for over 2.5 goals in this game. Both teams have big motive to win this game. Granada at home should be favorite in this game but they have game in Cup next week against Bilbao and they should rotate team and that is a main reason. Still, they also need victory in this one as they can catch Europa league place for next season. Celta is fighting against relegation. This team is just 2 points far from relegation place. So they must go for a win as well. They manage to score twice against Real Madrid in 2-2 draw. So over 2.5 with 2.50 look like good bet.
Occasionally it boils over and you get incidents like you had with some clubs who get into bother over it, like at Huddersfield Town, and the stunt there. So there's way too much dependency, and I'm sure the football authorities are aware of that. Last year, Britain's biggest gambling companies voluntarily agreed to a "whistle-to-whistle" television advertising ban, ending commercials during live sports broadcasts.
Fu Jen University will against Taichung Futuro in match Taiwan Football Premier. My prediction this match could be the win for Fu Jen University with margin score is 1 goal. Fu Jen University have great result on last match due to Fu Jen University can beat Red Lions with score is 4-0. Meanwhile, Taichung Futuro have also good result on last match due to Taichung Futuro can beat NTUS with score is 2-1. Nevertheless, my prediction that Fu Jen University can beat Taichung Futuro due to Fu Jen University have good result in every home match on last season. Surely Fu Jen University have more chance to win on this match.

What is the background?Premier League clubs previously said they would ask players to take a 30% pay cut in order to protect jobs. However, the Professional Footballers' Association said such a cut could harm the NHS, adding players were "mindful of their social responsibilities". Speaking to BBC Sport earlier on Wednesday, former England striker and Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer said it should be up to the players to decide the best way to help.
The winner of the Copa Libertadores final will qualify for the 2019 Fifa Club World Cup in Qatar, a competition that Uefa Champions League winners Liverpool have already qualified for. Liverpool play their semi-final on 18 December with either River or Flamengo playing the previous day. Should they both win they will meet in the final on 21 December. Any players I know?River Plate have a few players who played at the last World Cup such as Argentina goalkeeper Franco Armani and midfielder Enzo Perez, but no major household names - in the UK, anyway.
Adrian has been pressed into action more than he or Liverpool would have expected this season, with Alisson suffering two injuries, and his graph of performance and reliability is very much on a downward curve. After a colossal arm wrestle, Liverpool finally had this tie in their grasp when Roberto Firmino's first goal at Anfield this season put them ahead on aggregate but Adrian's error, a dreadful clearance exacerbated by a poor attempt to save Llorente's shot, finished Klopp's side off.
Leipzig have been terrifying opposition defences in recent weeks. They have scored 22 goals in their last five Bundesliga games. They are currently the Bundesliga's highest-scoring team, with a total of 39 goals scored in 14 games this season.

Director Miles Jacobson says the product has become "an encyclopaedia of football" and seeing the young players who impress in the game become good in real life is what makes it feel so believable. Striker Cherno Samba was another, like Moukoko, who turned into a global superstar in the game's earlier days - but in reality had a career that started in Millwall's youth set-up and then took in Plymouth, Wrexham and Scandinavia's lower leagues.
PSG's fightback added to concern in the stands after Real winger Eden Hazard hobbled off in the second half with an ankle injury, although substitute Gareth Bale almost snatched a winner when he struck the post in added time from a free kick. PSG top Group A with 13 points from five games while Real are second on eight.
Against better teams like Chu00e2teauroux (1-2) and Le Havre (0-2) they have failed to impress and in these results it's easy to see why Les Mans currently sit 15th in Ligue 2 with the most goals conceded. In all competitions their away form has been rather formidable but when you take away the cup victories over teams way below them in the pyramid, it gets rather dire. They've lost six of their nine matches on the road in the league and will need to buck that trend as they travel south.

GOOOOAALLLL! Aston Villa 1-0 Liverpool. Not the prettiest as Conor Hourihane's free-kick goes straight in! Suckerpunch for Liverpool's youngsters. Hourihane lined up the free-kick, which he whipped into the middle with venom, Jonathan Kodjia stuck out a leg, missed it, which deceived Kelleher in the Liverpool goal, and the ball squirmed underneath his dive and in.
Portimonense secured a 1-1 draw away at Boavista last weekend and face another potentially tricky test at home on Saturday when they take on newly-promoted Pacos Ferreira who beat Moreirense 1-0 last time out. Five of the hosts’ last six matches have seen both teams score and the visitors have scored in five of their last six matches, so you can see why we have backed goals in this game at both ends of the pitch.
He is somebody who brings what was sadly missing at Old Trafford and he seems to have livened up everyone. The team is playing well and they look like scoring goals. They are still behind, but they have bought a brilliant player in who seems to have knitted it all together. They did have a really good group of players but missed that one person who can make a difference - like a David Silva or Kevin de Bruyne who can glue the team together with their attacking movements.
Hunting with tribes, playing beach soccer, managing a boarding school and playing in the Club World Cup - that is the life of Hienghene Sport captain Bertrand Kai. His story is indicative of a club who play in a 1,800-capacity stadium and were only formed in 1997 in the Pacific Island French territory of New Caledonia - around 900 miles off the east coast of Australia - with a population of fewer than 300,000.

While during the normal season they hosted Hartberg at home and it was another high scoring game with no less than 9 goals scored total as Salzburg won the encounter with no less than 7-2 in the end and the only reason why they drew 2-2 at Hartberg during the normal season was because they played in 10 men since the first half of the game.

Gayle netted 24 times for West Brom in the Championship last season and might have to drop down a division again for regular football. RHIAN BREWSTER (19, striker, Liverpool)Linked with: Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leeds, SwanseaBrewster hit eight goals to win the golden boot as England claimed the Under-17 World Cup in October 2017.

Saka takes a touch, plays a delicious ball across the six yard box that cuts out all of the Olympiacos defenders and Lacazette taps home. WHAT A SAVE!

This was a match played at a low intensity, with both sets of players seemingly suffering from a lack of energy throughout. Had the stands been packed with fans, it’s difficult to envisage that this would have been the case. MAN OF THE MATCH - Omer Bayram (Galatasaray) He was only on the pitch for 45 minutes, introduced at the break for Younes Belhanda, but Omer Bayram came as close as anyone to making the difference for Galatasaray.
I'm happy to go up against Jose. To go up against him last year for Derby (County) against Manchester United was a big deal for me, and that remains I'll always have respect for him. But the bigger thing is Chelsea-Tottenham and what that rivalry means, what it should mean to our players and us, because that's the beauty of football.

Reading head coach Mark Bowen said:"Leeds have lost games by errors here and there, but I didn't see them as a team out of form.

They are the best side in this country, in Europe and possibly the world, with four of the top seven players in the voting for Monday's Ballon d'Or currently plying their trade at Anfield - a testimony to the recruitment and training work at Anfield that has been sorely absent at Goodison.

And it seemed like it was always raining. On one particular day, I was told to go into London for a scan. I looked out of the window and the sky was blue. I thought 'what a great day!'. So I put my shirt on and went to London. Unbelievable. I was freezing. I learned straightaway that you always need a coat in this country.
