The loss of wingers Ryan Fraser and Harry Wilson will have the biggest impact on the starting XI, while the departure of some of the old guard who got the club promoted in 2015 will leave a gap in the squad overall. While the Cherries do have many talented young prospects, it will be interesting to see if Eddie Howe continues to rely so heavily on them to provide the depth and cover for the first team.

The last time I left AC Milan, it was without my approval but the situation was what it was. I am here now. He said he still had passion for football but had learned to adapt with age. Each year is different, physically you change with every year that goes by," he added. But experience teaches you to do things differently, if you're an intelligent player you know what you can and cannot do.
A lot of matches between these teams have seen 2 goals or less recently and this could be another low scoring match between the sides. They had a recent 1-0 score line so no reason why this will not be lower scoring too. Chelsea will look to defend this match out they would not want to be blasted away by the home team and they could be more than happy to let this match finish in a very low scoring draw. The Man City have found it hard to score early in some matches falling behind and this could happen here.
Lionel Messi will "end his working and footballing life at Barcelona", the club's president has said. Josep Maria Bartomeu dismissed reports the Argentina international, 33, was unwilling to renew his current contract when it expires in 2021. We are negotiating with many players but Messi has explained to us he wants to stay," Bartomeu told Spanish network Movistar. And so we're going to enjoy him for much longer.
Dudelange fc to take on Apoel fc on Thursday the 28th of November for their second leg in the Europa league. First leg the host won it but they were also conceding too much, so I think they sort this problem by fixing other quality defenders or by changing the formation they used in their first leg.
Well this is going to be one of those matches where one goal can decide the winner for sure. Both teams have been doing good this season. They both finished at the upper part and are playing at this championship group. However when it comes to that quality they have in the squad, CSKA are not that much better. Slavia Sofia are a very solid team with few very good individuals and will not give up that easily . This is a city derby and both teams should and will focus more on not conceding a goal rather than scoring it .
Also, was Benitez's title at Real Madrid not coach? So, by the very definition of his job as coach it should be no big deal if the coach of a team coached one of the players on said team to become a better taker of free kicks? Yet, here we are a full four years later still banging on about whether Benitez coached Ronaldo.
I think the Premier League lost control of the narrative and their own story," says Darren Ennis, Advocacy and Crisis Communications advisor with Fourtold. They should have been more proactive. They should have done more scenario planning including the impact on their reputation if they took various decisions.
Before you say those matches do not count, the second string play in the same league system as Primera Liga side Sporting - think of it as like a Liverpool B team playing in League Two - therefore it still counts as senior level football. But, given Ronaldo did not score in either of those two appearances and discounting them would mean he would in fact bring up his 1,000th game against Juventus' rivals Inter Milan next weekend, maybe the man himself would prefer that they did not count.
If they qualify, a team representing Russia cannot participate, but if there is a mechanism put in place, then they can apply to participate on a neutral basis, not as representatives of Russia," Jonathan Taylor, chair of WADA's compliance review committee, told a news conference. Taylor was speaking after WADA earlier on Monday banned Russia from the world's top sporting events for four years, a period that includes the next summer and winter Olympics and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, for tampering with doping-related laboratory data.
We've seen from Man City this season though that they respond well to a poor result and that could well be the case here as they look for the result they need to secure qualification and take the pressure off ahead of their last game in the group. They come up against a good Shakhtar side though and it might not be the run of the mill victory that Man City fans have come to expect.
The sport is at a standstill around the world, with domestic leagues halted and the Euro 2020 and Copa America tournaments pushed back until next year, and it is not clear when the game will be able to resume. Tottenham furlough 550 staff, including chairman Levy, to cope with coronavirus Fiorentina, Torino presidents say Serie A season unlikely to finish FIFPRO General Secretary Jonas Baer-Hoffmann said failing to complete the current season was not an option at the moment.
I saw a sad dressing room, a sad bus and a sad plane, and that's not what I like after a defeat," he added. I think after a defeat you can't be sad. You have to be more than that. You have to be raging and angry. Being sad is not going to resolve your problems. It's obvious we have problems, but we need to have time to work.
Sanctions passed by sporting organisations have had no significant effect and law enforcement in many countries has failed to provide appropriate responses to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes – whether in stadia or online. Under the three-step protocol, play is stopped and a request is made to the crowd to stop racist behaviour.
United's improvement is not just down to the fact their front three are playing well, but it definitely helps that they are finishing off so much of the good work done by the rest of their team. Chelsea are dangerous when they come forward too, of course. I just think United carry more of a threat, and they are more solid at the other end too. There have been a few all-London FA Cup finals before but if I am right with my predictions, and City and United both win and play each other on 1 August, then it would be a huge shame that their fans will not be able to come along for the first all-Manchester final.
Respected by team-mates and opponents alike for his demanding nature and range of skills, Keane is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders to have graced the Premier League. Wright: "For me he was the best captain in the Premier League. When you look at what he did with the 'Class of 92', the great players around him, the consistency of his performances, without compromising what he was about, and his morals, I have so much admiration for Roy Keane.
Before people start marking him as a failure, a predictable and boring national sport in Spanish media, think on this: Despite all his problems he is still the fifth highest goalscorer at Real Madrid in the 21st century - behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Raul, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain - and has scored 105 goals in 251 games. He has won one league title - soon to be two, probably, despite having played less of a part in proceedings this season - four Champions Leagues and against Liverpool in the 2018 final also scored what many believe to be the greatest ever Champions League final goal.
I am a player of Arsenal and I’ve got a contract with Arsenal for one and a half more years. I have always said that if there is going to be something where it suits me and if there is going to be something where I want to make a next step then I am open to it and I am open to talk. Moyes set to return to former club? David Moyes could soon be back in Premier League management - with two of his former clubs vying for his signature, according to Sky Sports News.
Bolton's fortunes have improved of late, even away from home, where they recently beat a reasonably useful Bristol Rovers side by two goals to nil. On that occasion, the Trotters weren't imperious in the final third, but by restricting their opponents to few opportunities, they were still the more creative side.
However, things have changed of late and they are now undefeated in their last four home matches in the league, winning three and drawing one. This improvement of late is also reflected in the form table, where they have claimed 14 points from their last eight league matches, a return which is only four points behind the best points return in the league.
I will take the away win in this one even though even if the hosts win this one with either 1-0 or 2-1 they would still not make it through to the next round with Sporting having full control in the first leg played by them at home in Lisbon having the lead 3-0 quite early in that one and ending up winning the game with 3-1 in the end but their opponents had just 2 shots on target the entire game and really did not trouble their opponents being second best by far in that encounter.
Partey could be the perfect replacement for Ramsey. Although the report states that Arteta wants him to primarily protect the Arsenal defence, Partey is an all-action midfielder and would be a great partner for Lucas Torreira, Matteo Guendouzi or Granit Xhaka in the middle of the park. However, if the Gunners fail to qualify for a European competition next season, why would Partey swap Atleti for Arsenal?

Both of these sides have made their promotion bids on the back of fine attacking form. The hosts are coming off back to back blanks, which highlighted their low scoring away form. However, at home – where they have claimed 74% of their points – Preston have scored 25 goals (81% of their season total). They’ve found great success in a number of ways. Preston have scored 14 goals from set-pieces in the Championship this season, including four of their last six – more than any other side in the division.

Celtic fined for banner and chantsCeltic have already been fined £11,000 after fans set off flares and threw objects during a Europa League play-off round win over AIK in Stockholm in August. They were then fined £10,400 after supporters set off flares during the group-stage win over Cluj in October. The club also face a hearing on 12 December relating to another Uefa charge regarding the "use of pyrotechnics" during their win over Lazio in Rome on 7 November.
Red Star Belgrade have conceded the most in this competition. Bayern Munich have only conceded four goals in the campaign. The reverse fixture saw Bayern Munich run out 3-0 winners. In the past couple of years, Red Star Belgrade have carved themselves out a reputation as a difficult side to beat. But they haven’t been able to bring this into their Champions League campaign this season, with resounding defeats to both Bayern Munich and Tottenham in Group A.
The World Trade Organization said there had been an infringement of intellectual property rights via the illegal beoutQ service, but in an apparent response to that ruling, Saudi Arabia then barred beIN Sports from operating. Its service is the only legal way of watching Premier League football in the country. Saudi Arabia has always denied aiding the beoutQ operation and has insisted there is no link between its government and the alleged piracy.
The hosts have been no strangers to open games so far this season. There's been 81 goals scored in QPR's 23 league games this season (37 for, 44 ag) – more than any other Championship team. They’ve seen both teams score in 70% of their matches, while they clash with a Reading side who have hit 17 goals across their 11 home matches this term.

Against poor side like Caykur Rizespor they hope to win good and be able to become leaders again.
