But Valverde has been delivering everything Zidane hoped the signing of Pogba would bring, and talk of the Manchester United midfielder coming to the Bernabeu has cooled during the Uruguayan's breakthrough season. We have to believe El Clasico will go ahead - ZidaneTactical conundrums on both sides Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid are second in the La Liga table on goal difference behind Ernesto Valverde's BarcelonaThe question of exactly where De Jong and Valverde will be deployed is one of several unknowns which make this game tactically the most interesting Clasico for years.
62% of RKC’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 75% of Twente’s away games and 62% of RKC’s home games and Twente’s away games have seen both teams score, providing even more reasons to back our prediction for Friday nights’ Eredivisie clash.
After their excellent effort at Ashton Gate, where they matched a team from the level above stride for stride, the Shrews deserve more respect ahead of a home match. If anything, as they hit the post late on, Shrewsbury were ever so slightly unlucky not to avoid the replay, so it's not difficult to see them doing the business at New Meadow. At the prices, 'Shrewsbury Draw No Bet' stands out as the best option. The hosts are very tough to beat at home, while they have a promising home record in this competition. In contrast, Bristol City underwhelmed in the original tie and haven't exactly covered themselves in glory on the road of late either.
Lille also come into this game having done well of late. They've won four of their last five, keeping three clean sheets in the process. Such form is encouraging, though their away record is not, nor is their record at this venue, where they've lost three times since 2017 and haven't won since 2009.
Thirtieth round of the second division of the Bundesliga and in this match the Bochum team will play at home against the St. Pauli team. My suggestion is over 2,5 goals in that game, Bochum's last three home games have surpassed the 2.5 goal mark, and the St. Pauli team in their last three games playing away from home has conceded seven goals in three game.
The fate of the Scottish Premiership season is likely to be decided on Monday at an SPFL board meeting. The top flight campaign is expected to be curtailed, with Celtic crowned as champions and Hearts relegated on a points-per-game basis. The SPFL and Scottish FA have received the letter of assurance from Uefa that an early finish will not mean forfeiting European places. However, some outstanding issues mean a decision could be delayed.
It's always other players who get the headlines, but he has had plenty of moments that live long in my memory, like his performance in our 6-1 win at Old Trafford in October 2011. I still think that's his best game for the club. He scored our fifth goal that day but that is overlooked because of how good his volleyed pass was to Edin Dzeko to round off the scoring a few moments later. I was stood a few yards away from him when he played it, and it was probably the greatest pass I have ever seen.
His current deal is set to expire in 2021 – and has a reported release clause of around £90m – but Valencia head coach Albert Celades said last month that he hopes to tie Torres down to a new long-term contract. Paper Round's view: With Timo Werner also strongly linked with a move to Anfield, Liverpool do seem to be in the market to add to their front line.
Striker Alfredo Morelos, Rangers' 29-goal top scorer this season, is back in Gerrard's plans for the league visit of Hamilton Academical on Wednesday after being left out against Hearts as punishment for returning late from a trip home to Colombia. It is important we are not stubborn and let it fester," Gerrard said. It is important we move on from these situations, it is dealt with strongly - which it has been - and we move forward.
Probably will be a lot of goals in this match who will be played today in second Belarusian league and I can said that because I was follow this teams in first part of season, or it is better to said in some friendly matches. So, Arsenal surely have better chances to win and this team is in last friendly match played duel in who was 2-1, while on the other side, and rival or Osha many is also in last few duels played also with mostly three or more goals. I believe it will be the same and this time.
The Gunners, however, ran out of steam towards the end of the first half as Chelsea, helped by Lampard removing Emerson and sending on Jorginho, started to dominate and continued to do so after the break. Arsenal were resilient but were hanging on and ultimately it was a calamitous individual error and familiar defensive fragility that was to prove their undoing. Leno's rush of blood left Jorginho with the easiest of finishes, although Arsenal certainly had a case to complain about his continued presence on the pitch after escaping that second yellow card.
Dybala opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a sumptuous volley from the right-hand corner of the box. Gianluca Caprari equalised before Ronaldo scored the winner with a header at the back post. Caprari was sent off in stoppage time for his second bookable offence. Buffon started his career at Parma, where he won the Uefa Cup and Coppa Italia in 1999 before moving to Juventus two years later. In Turin, he won nine Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia four times and finished runner-up in the Champions League twice under Massimiliano Allegri.
Both players were sent off. We're underway in the CL Galatasaray vs Club Brugge kicks off along side Lokomotiv Moscow vs Bayer Leverkusen in the early matches. Sterling in contract talks with Man City Manchester City have opened talks with forward Raheem Sterling about a new long-term contract. Sterling, 24, signed a deal in November 2018 that runs to 2023 but City are keen to secure his future.
I think we will see a slow match and we won't see more than 1 goal scored in this match and so my bet is the under 1.5 FT. The teams are Buyu Tepecikspor and Of so and this is a match for the Div 3 in Turkey. The hosts so far after 14 matches are in the middle and scored and conceded only 13 goals. They did a win 1-0 and a draw 0-0 in the last 2 matches played. The guests scored only 12 and conceded 13 and are coming from a defeat 1-0 and so I try this under.

Three points here will give Eibar the breathing space they need and we fancy them to hit back based on their prior victories against Sevilla (3-2) and Villarreal (2-1) at Ipurua, as well as Alaves' dismal away form.
Will these formerly great clubs ever recover from this snub? Okay, almost nothing happened. Gareth Bale scored a goal that was ruled out for offside in the build-up. Marc-Ander Ter Stegen made a couple of decent saves. And Barcelona’s fans put together a lovely tifo in Catalonian colours before the game — this fixture had been postponed due to civil unrest, remember — and then, later in the second half, threw a load of inflatable yellow balls onto the pitch.
I thought they would struggle with having the Premier League and Europa League but they are doing really well. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sonny's prediction: 4-2 Leicester v Everton (16:30 GMT)Leicester have played extremely well this season and results have been good. They look like a team that can finish in the top four and be a real threat to some of the big guns. They are at home and Everton look like a team that don't know where the next positive result will come from.
Did you know? Mings made nine clearances, 36 passes and gained possession eight times in helping Aston Villa to a clean sheet and all three points against Arsenal. Aurier: I couldn't agree more with some of the sentiments shared this week regarding the immense fortitude shown by Aurier in light of the death of his brother. Often the sanctuary of professional football can help individuals cope emotionally during times of bereavement by momentarily taking your mind away from awful events.
He wasn't a great player but he had character," he said. I like his grit and determination. MONTELLA NOT WORRIED Montella, however, was unruffled. Commisso is suffering, he is not a man who is used to losing," he said. I feel he still has faith in me but I need to get the team to play better. I'm used to criticism and there are coaches who have been fired with fewer defeats and others who kept their job after longer losing streaks.
Video - Euro Papers: Jose offers Bale a Spurs 'escape route' as flag fury grows01:17 Spurs contract trio to reconsider future One benefit of the appointment of Jose Mourinho is that they may now tie down three players who had previously been expected to leave the club for nothing in the summer, or for a nominal fee in January.
The MLS will find itself in a very competitive marketplace with the NHL negotiating a new U. S. NFL rights coming up for auction in 2022. Garber, however, believes the MLS can offer something the other leagues cannot: access to the 18-34 demographic coveted by advertisers. A 2017 Gallup poll MLS uses in promotional material found that its popularity with the 18-34 age group was up 11% while the NFL, NBA and MLB were all down.
There were just 264 seconds between Egan being sent off for Sheffield United and Saint-Maximin scoring the opener for Newcastle. Sheffield United defender Egan received just the second red card of his English league career, with his only previous red before today coming last season versus Millwall in April 2019. After scoring with just one of his first 30 Premier League shots, Saint-Maximin has now netted with each of his last two attempts (also v Southampton back in March).
Betis hit the woodwork in either half and finally scored in added time when Marc Bartra bundled the ball into the net from a crowded penalty area. The win followed last week's 2-0 success over Osasuna and was the first time Diego Simeone's had strung two victories together in domestic competition since they won their opening three games of the campaign.
The same can’t be said of Liverpool fans, who are watching their team dominate on every platform. A youthful squad won another Merseyside Derby in the FA Cup last weekend, and in the Premier League they find themselves a massive 13 points clear of 2nd place Leicester.
Heracles have scored over 2.5 team goals in four of their last six matches and Sparta conceded over 2.5 goals in their last match against Willem II. The hosts average 1.00 point per game over their last eight matches while the visitors average 1.63 points per game over their last eight matches, adding more weight to our prediction for an away win this weekend.
With the season over for the 24-year-old centre-back, Arsenal could now seek defensive cover in the January transfer window. We are going to try to be in the market to see options that can strengthen the team.

Bruno Fernandes: This was a game Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will want to forget in a hurry. The only glimmer of light for the beleaguered United boss was the performance of his new Portuguese signing Bruno Fernandes. The midfielder only arrived two days before they played Wolverhampton Wanderers and if this performance is a taste of what is to come from him, then things might be looking up for United.
The French striker was Atletico's top scorer and talisman for five years and appeared to show his loyalty to the club when he rejected a tempting offer to join Barca in 2018 and pledged his future to the Madrid side in a televised documentary. But a year later he joined Barca for 120 million euros ($132 million), prompting a legal complaint from Atletico after it emerged the Catalans had negotiated with Griezmann without their permission, leading to club being fined a paltry 300 euros.
A former journeyman footballer named Omer Riza could play a key role in the next chapter of Manchester City's bitter and potentially defining legal battle with Uefa over their two-year ban from European club competitions. Back in 2008, the dual British-Turkish national, a former fringe player at Arsenal and West Ham, walked out on Turkish club Trabzonspor and returned to England, claiming he had not been paid.
Preston have lost half of their away trips this term, winning only twice. Just 26% of their points and 19% of their goals scored have come on their travels this term. Their performances away from home simply haven’t been good enough, converting just 6% of their away chances, compared to 22% at home. This is a problem which dates back to last season. Preston have lost eight of their last 13 away trips, while we can see them losing another this week.
Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold has been named December's Premier League player of the month, with Jurgen Klopp winning the managerial award for the fourth time this season. Alexander-Arnold, 21, scored a goal, registered three assists and helped the Reds keep three clean sheets to win the award for the first time. Premier League leaders Liverpool won all five of their games last month. Klopp, 52, has equalled Pep Guardiola's record for most awards in a season.
We won't be helping football if the wealth we generate goes straight to the big clubs. If leagues in places such as eastern Europe or Greece have financial problems it will lead to the collapse of our industry. Creating new competitions is not the answer as the money will not benefit grassroots football, it will go to 10 or 15 major clubs.
Goztepe, eighth in the table, are in a sort of league-table limbo, the relegation zone and the European spots being equally distant. The visitors, Rizespor, are fighting to stay in the top flight. They are currently 15th, one place above and two points clear of the drop. It has been so long since either side won a game that we could imagine the squads getting twinkly-eyed at the memory of victory.

There is a yard advantage but Zurich is only ranked by the house with the ratio of 0: 0. With this handicap, investors do not appreciate the ability of Ludovic Magnin to win 3 points.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: "He gave absolutely everything for this club and we all appreciate that. But any goal he scores against us will be chalked off his goal tally. He doesn't want to score too many of them. He's a threat, in and around the box, set plays, and of course this game Wayne will show what he can do and he wants to prove that there's still fight in an old dog. We've got to be on our toes, don't give him any space in and around the box or in midfield.
Gangwon will host Seongnam for this fixture of the league. Of course, both teams have great motivation at the start of the new season. Of course, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result. Gangwon have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts want to win. I expect, the hosts will try to dominate in this game. Also, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Seongnam are undefeated in this new campaign. In any case, they will try to remain unbeaten. Also, I think, both sides will pay attention on their defense. My pick - draw.

Fans of Vitebsk have been asking a big question for the team's decline over the past year. From the position of a top 4 team in the Belarusian league, the team has lost itself and fell to a dangerous position in the rankings last season. Fortunately for them, they only finished the season in 13th place, not having to fall to the position where they have to play the Play-off match for the relegation ticket. This season, fans expected Vitebsk to make a dramatic return to the top team position, but once again they disappointed the fans. Their pre-season friendly series didn't succeed, when in 11 friendly matches, they only won 2 matches, the rest were draws and losses. Currently, the new season has started 2 rounds, Vitebsk has only 3 points. If Vitebsk does not improve the current form, it is likely that this season they will have to be difficult in the relegation position.
