While global bragging rights are on the line, many Liverpool fans see the competition as a distraction, taking away focus from their domestic title chase. The competition also forced them effectively to forfeit their place in the English League Cup, playing a virtual youth team in their quarter-final against Aston Villa the day before they opened their Club World Cup campaign in Qatar.
Last season, JEF United Ichihara finished in 17th place, only 3 points behind the relegation team. By this season, the goal that JEF United Ichihara has set is just to seek safety. Meanwhile, Omiya Ardija finished last season in 3rd place but they failed in the play-off series to find promotion tickets. Of course, Omiya Ardija still aims to return to the J-League after this season.
It capped a remarkable recovery for Manchester United - with credit also due to manager Solskjaer for guiding his side into the top four. Leicester suffer bitter disappointmentThe scenes at the final whistle here showed the extent of Leicester City's bitter disappointment at being denied the footballing and financial prize that seemed theirs for the taking for so long. Brendan Rodgers' side had started to lose their early-season sparkle even before the campaign was halted in March by the coronavirus pandemic - yet they were still in a powerful position as the finish line approached.
It's a game which is likely to be full of chances, as combined these two have conceded over 30 shots per game this season. That should help an adventurous Genoa side. Meanwhile, SPAL’s scoring streak suggests we can rely on them for a goal here. As a result, we are backing both teams to score when these two meet on Monday.
Valladolid had a really solid start to the campaign with just two defeats suffered in their first ten matches, but they have since lost three of their last five. A 0-0 stalemate against Celta Vigo at Balaidos last week wasn't enough to prevent a further drop in the table and Pucela now sit 15th heading into this weekend's fixture at Jose Zorrilla.
CFR Cluj hosts none of the most successful sides in Europa League in recent times, Sevilla, in the second round of the competition, with both teams having had good runs in the group stages. To get to this point, is already an achievement for Cluj, having come from a group with Lazio, Rennes and Celtic.
The hosts have struggled for results this term, but things have picked up for them of late. They are aiming to continue their turnaround this week, while the Blues try to further their bid for survival this term. While they are currently midtable, there are still major concerns about their set up. Can they ease those concerns here?
Expert view: Pump the brakes on any Haaland move but uncertainty for Odegaard The Debate: Why Vicente Guaita is the most underrated player in the Premier League Everton were rumoured to have looked at a player-plus-cash swap deal while Arsenal threw themselves into the fray later on leaving Palace with no choice but to slap a reported £80 million asking price on Zaha’s head.
The Swans have also done well on the road this term, winning five, drawing five and losing just two of their 12 travelling matches. That said, they've started to slip of late, with their two losses coming in their last three. They've also started to concede a few too many, shipping 11 in their last five. Fortunately, they've scored in each of those five and have only failed to score twice away from home this term.
I say at the time, 'It's not lucky'. What Liverpool has done last season and this season many, many times is because they've this incredible quality and this incredible talent to fight until the end. That's why I said to my players - not just my son and my daughter - that it is not lucky. If it happens once or twice in a life then, yes, but this many - maybe 10 or 12 or 13 times?"Do late goals play a decisive role in title races?On average, the team that wins the Premier League title earns 1.
Reading have struggled at home this season winning only 3 of the 8 games so far but with 20 goals they have been the third most productive home team in this league. However, they also have a poor defense conceding 9 goals in the last 3 games at home.
Brighton: Attacking alternativesGraham Potter will likely look to bolster his attacking options, with the club's all-time Premier League top scorer Glenn Murray set to celebrate his 37th birthday in September. And despite the club spending over £36m on the attacking trio of Florin Andone, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Jurgen Locadia, none have managed to establish themselves, although academy graduate Aaron Connolly has impressed and Jose Izquierdo is set to return after a long-term injury.
England's top flight had opted against checking for goalkeepers moving off their lines at penalties, and referees have tended not to use the pitchside monitors as often as in other leagues, because of a belief that doing so slows the game down. There has been huge controversy around individual VAR decisions in the Premier League. Earlier this month, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher picked out key incidents in all three matches played on one day which, in his opinion, the match officials had got wrong.

I was a bit of a perfectionist," he says. If it wasn't there, I was my own worst enemy. It affects your confidence as well, if you have a bad touch. It helped with the decision to knock it on the head. The decision to quit football was taken out of his hands by the new career Curtis began to pursue. He had grown frustrated with the lack of opportunities in the strength-and-conditioning field, and the crash had not only given him a renewed appreciation of his family, who had been dedicated aides in his recovery, but also of the family business.

Danny Welbeck's introduction in the second half did provide them with some pace and quality in the final third but it was too little too late. Welbeck wriggled into several promising positions and forced Kepa Arrizabalaga into a superb save late on, but it was one of very few moments that would have excited any Watford supporters watching at home. And it was a performance indicative of a side, if you discount Jan Bednarek's own goal, that has failed to score in three consecutive defeats and is now anxiously looking over its shoulder at their relegation rivals.
zaglebie Lubin is on the middle of the table and I m pretty confident they are going to take the win in this match because at home they are obviously stronger than on the road but they failed to win two times in a row at home despite scoring 7 goals combined in that two games so I think today their defense is going to perform much better and on the other side corona is just above relegation zone and I don't think they could score a goal tonight so I surely take this bet and I also recommend it to anyone

Castle said on Monday that she had taken a 50% pay-cut and other RA executives had taken 30%. RA's board directors have agreed to defer their fees. Root expects talks over England pay cuts Joe Root Getty Images England's test cricket captain Joe Root said he expects talks with the country's governing body over possible pay cuts for international.
They were far from their best with Takumi Minamino's saved effort after 28 minutes their first real chance. But from that point until the final whistle, the new Premier League champions dominated. Van Dijk equalised when he headed a looping effort into the top corner from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross - his fifth Premier League goal of the season. Origi then powered home in the second half to end a 23-game goal drought that stretched back to December.
It wasn't often any midfielder came out on the winning side in a battle with either of them. They were serial winners and world class footballers. The closest thing we have to it now is probably when Liverpool take on Manchester City. We are where we are with it and have to enjoy it as we used to, but it does bring back some feelings and memories when you see how much these two teams hated each other.
All seven have been lost. He lost five with Chelsea - the 2007 Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, the Community Shield to Manchester United later that year, the 2013 European Super Cup against Bayern Munich and League Cup ties against Charlton and Stoke. Mourinho followed that up with a 2018 League Cup defeat by Derby when he was in charge of United. And he has carried that form into his time with Spurs.
They are another team, like Burnley, who look as if they are in a scrap but they are never down there when it matters. City, meanwhile, have been so up and down, and I don't think Pep Guardiola knows why, which must be annoying for him. I think they need a different sort of striker - like Edin Dzeko in the past - to throw on when teams dig in against them. I wonder if that has been one of the reasons they've fallen short this season.

I think there’s got to be a short-term goal for us just now to get the wins to get us away from the wrong end of the league and what we’re going to do over the next six months, then what we’re going to do over the next period as well. The start is really focusing on the immediate games. Moyes will start his second spell as Hammers boss against Bournemouth on New Year's Day (5.
A few weeks ago West Brom and Leeds United were riding high, so far ahead that people weren’t really talking about them much anymore and their promotion was a foregone conclusion. Not so much anymore, though. On Monday night top-of-the-table West Brom lost to relegation-threatened Stoke, meaning that the previously imperious top two have now won just once in their last 12 games combined, and automatic promotion is now very much a live race again.

Preussen Munster Will play against Unterhaching in the 3. Liga of Germany on Sunday. Unterhaching are currently third in the 3. Liga table and they are second best team in away performance. However they lost last three of the four games. But they just lost one of the last six away Matches. While Preussen Munster are currently 18th in the table and currently in relegation zone. They lost two of the last four matches and conceded 7 goals in last three matches.
It is easy to see where their issues are too, as Cambridge frequently struggle to find the back of the net and they have failed to score in 44% of their matches overall. With the hosts also failing to score in three of their last five outings, it is hard to imagine a situation where they are able to simply outscore the opposition.

Seongnam got promoted from the 2nd league level at the end of only 2018 season, so last season was their first after a while in the first league level, and in their last 10 away games in the league they were very cautious and I believe only one or two of those games went with over 2.5 goals scored in them as every point was really important for them to save themselves from the relegation zone. But good news is that the old coach is gone and since January this year a new coach has been installed and there is no way that they remain as defensive minded as in the end of last season.
Famalicao have outperformed Boavista so far this season and returned from the winter break to beat Vitoria Setubal 3-0 in the league and remain third in the table, while Boavista could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to struggling Portimonese. These two clubs have only met twice before, both times in the Campeonato de Portugal Prio back in 2013, where the pair played out a 2-2 draw at Famalicao and the reverse fixture saw the visitors win 3-2 to remain unbeaten against Boavista.
On the other, do Dundee, who are third in the table, now have the ability to hold the SPFL to ransom to force through league reconstruction that could elevate them into the Premiership?Either way, the public statement has thrust the Dens Park club into the spotlight, with another 41 pairs of eyes fixing their gaze upon them. Talking of league reconstruction, can it work?There is no short answer to this, although Hearts owner Ann Budge is keen to convince the SPFL board and its members that it is entirely possible.
With something riding on all but one of the final 12 matches of the Championship season, it was always likely to be a rollercoaster ride to the finish. But what happened over the course of a remarkable couple of hours on Wednesday will live long in the memory. Here's a round up of how things went. PromotedLeeds & West Brom Baggies boss Slaven Bilic was drenched in fizz at full-timeThree teams remained in the race to join champions Leeds in the automatic promotion places.
Istra 1961 have not looked good so far in 2020 with a 2-1-4 record in the 7 league games and last month they lost a friendly from today's opponent Rijeka with 1-5. In the first 2 meetings in the league Istra 1961 also had no chance losing with 0-2 and 0-3.
Ponferradina are one of the better home teams in the league with a 7-8-1 record so far this season and with only 10 goals conceded, they have the best defense at home of all the teams in the league. However, in the last 5 league games they also scored only 1 goal in total.
Maurizio Sarri tried to play it down afterwards but his in-game reaction, storming down the tunnel, told more than he ever could in a press conference, as did the fact that he was dropped for one game.

Match of Italian Cup where Parma will play with Frosinone . Guests are in the middle part of rankings (Seria B ) . They did 2 wins and defeat at last 3 matches played. Parma did a draw and defeat at last matches . Yes, they are representing Seria A. But very often in countrys cup matches strong teams are playing without main players. Also the hosts had a hard last match with team Milan. League matches are more important for them. My bet will be on guests with AH +0.75. I think it is a good bet for good odds. I recommend to try this bet with me .
The club said that tests had revealed "damage to a fragment of cartilage in his kneecap. It did not give any indication how long he may be out for. CHIESA A SURPRISE ABSENCE FOR FIORENTINA Fiorentina's top player Federico Chiesa was surprisingly left out of the team for their match at Verona. Chiesa was not in a good shape, physically and mentally," said coach Vincenzo Montella after the 1-0 defeat.
I don't understand the criticism, I know how he is as a coach, he is one of the best," said Zidane. I said recently that Pep Guardiola is the best coach around and Simeone is among the best. Atletico's recent results have not changed my opinion of him. Atletico are without a win in their last four games in all competitions and last week the club's CEO Miguel Angel Gil Marin felt the need to show his support for Simeone after the embarrassing Copa del Rey exit to Cultural Leonesa.
Director of football Marcel Brands cut a concerned figure at half-time, deep in discussion with fellow director Sasha Ryazantsev - and there will surely be more discussions among the Everton hierarchy post-match. Everton did create some chances but never looked like ending a winless Anfield sequence stretching back to September 1999. It is also the first time Everton have conceded four goals in the first half of a Merseyside derby since 1935.
It may have been cheaper for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy to see Pochettino off the premises rather than back ambitious transfer plans but he must find funds for Mourinho now or face the prospect of undoing much of the good work - Champions League regulars while moving into a new stadium - under the Argentine. Whereas Liverpool look united, forceful and ooze infallibility, Spurs were tentative and negative for the first hour in their new stadium before finally rousing themselves and almost grabbing a point.
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.
Today, Everton and Reading meet at the WSL, there is the best women's football league in England and here in this match I bet it will end in a victory for Reading FC. Reading FC are a better team and despite the outside, I see that they have a good chance of taking the 3 points. Reading FC is 4th in the standings and has 17 pts in 11 games. Everton is 7 th after 10 games played and has 15 pts. In this match, of course, I see this Reading FC team winning this match. So I chose their victory for this match.
Real Madrid were inflicted a heavy loss during the Copa Del Rey match by a superb Real Sociedad that saw a lot of defensive errors by the Madrid back four. Knowing Zidane he will definitely make changes to both the tactics and the back four and will seek to assert his dominance by going on an all out attack on Osasuna. Despite the fact that Osasuna will be at home in this match Madrid will be looking for a hefty win and by my own understanding I think Osasuna will Fail to contain Real Madrid thereby guaranteeing Madrid a straight win .
We gave them the best possible start and that get the fans behind them and then they start falling over and getting under the skin a bit. We put in a decent performance and we know we can be better. We've got a second leg to put it right. They celebrated as if they won the tie after the game. They are coming to Anfield and we know our fans will be there.
It was Jermaine Beckford's parting gift in a season when he had also scored the winner in an FA Cup victory over arch-rivals Manchester United at what was renamed the 'Beckford End' at Old Trafford by jubilant Leeds supporters. Jermaine Beckford starred for Leeds as they won promotion out of League One under Simon Grayson in 2010Beckford left that summer to join Everton on a free transfer to play Premier League football.
