Barcelona will travel to face Leganés, the team that is currently in the last place of La Liga. It has not been a very easy ride for Barcelona so far but they still have chances to get to the first place and winning this kind of matches on the road against the weakest teams in the league is mandatory and we don't expect them to fail here. The difference between the two sides is huge and Barcelona should be able not only to get the win but to do it by a two goal margin with good value on this handicap.

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.
The second one, our defenders have to defend better, too many stood and watched it. The game was gone in two minutes although we had chances before and after half-time when Tom Heaton made some good saves. Jamaal Lascelles [out with a knee injury] is our captain and has been playing very well. Last week the defenders were excellent but you are always going to miss your best players. What's next?Villa now have a tough run of fixtures, with two successive away games - at Manchester United on Sunday and then Chelsea on Wednesday, 4 December - before a home game against second-placed Leicester City.
The Mirror state that Everton are willing to match the asking price, which could mean the Toffees will win the race for Gabriel. Paper Round's view: Everton are in need of another centre-back. There are only three central defenders in their squad: Michael Keane, Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate, so no wonder Ancelotti has identified it as a position that needs to be addressed this summer.
Those free players will be in a lot of demand and even Vertonghen mentioned in an interview that his contract is running out and I feel he is not staying at Spurs; that was the hint he was giving and he wants to learn a new language. You know, then, he is thinking of a move away to Italy or to Spain. They are all starting to look out for opportunities. The players whose contracts are running out are in demand.
No matter what club you play for, or how popular you are, there's always one idiot that goes against you. I could have been fighting the world in the '80s and '90s over some of the things people said to me, but it never crossed my mind to go in there because I was never going to win the battle. You're not going to win the war by jumping in and getting in fracas.
But the clock is ticking for Neville to improve results and make sure he has a team capable of making a mark at a home Euros next year. Former Lionesses striker Kelly Smith told BBC Sport she is "not too concerned" about England's poor form a year out from the tournament. There is a long way to go," said Smith. I'm not too concerned because of the time period between now and getting ready. The focus is now on Team GB.
I think yes, we should as a sport talk about opportunities for coaches and managers but there is also administration and many other areas of the game where we employ people in analysis departments and medical departments. We should have representation across all of those areas. Southgate 'always observing' players breaking lockdown rulesWhile Southgate praised many of his players' actions during lockdown, he also said he and his staff are "always observing" those who have broken rules.
Despite many fans' unrest with Jardim, he has left Moreno with a very good squad and one in fine form currently sitting 7th. They had lost just two of their eleven matches prior to Moreno's arrival with seven wins and 18 goals scored in the process. There is definitely work to be done at the back with just four clean sheets in this time but generally it is a good team for Moreno to be taking charge of.

It was not to be but Oxford can take real pride from the resilience they showed here and now they can turn their attention back to their top priority, namely promotion to the Championship. Manager Robinson is struggling for numbers after the departure of Shandon Baptiste and Tariqe Fosu to Brentford on transfer deadline day but there is real talent within his squad and this is a developing side. Oxford are currently eighth in League One, three points off the play-off places, and now it is back to business on that front as they travel to Peterborough United, who are third in the table, on Saturday.

For much of the campaign, The Sky Blues have been tremendously tough to face, even though they're without a permanent home, though they were previously suffering from a lack of firepower. Recent matches suggest that that is now a problem of the past, as they've notched nine in their last three. If they can keep Matt Godden fit and supplied with chances, then promotion is very much attainable.
Gorodeya will host Minsk for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors have a real chance to pick up the victory. Yeah, the visitors have fallen into a very poor show. True, they played against more strong rivals. In last game Minsk lost 2-5 against Zhodino. Nevertheless, Minsk have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Gorodeya have less potential. I think, the hosts will pay attention on their defense. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.
TALKING POINT - Mauro Icardi has upgraded PSG’s frontline when it didn’t look possible The summer signing of Icardi from Inter looked to be a signing for the sake of a signing. PSG already had one of the best attacking lines in Europe. There were other areas of the team that needed reinforcement. Since then, though, Icardi has shown that PSG’s attack can reach another level, scoring his 12th goal of the season in this win.

Arsenal though took the blow and turned it into momentum as they started to put pressure on the City goal, finding a way back into the game before the hour mark when Van de Donk turned the ball home after Roebuck had saved Beth Mead’s initial effort. Van de Donk spurned a big chance to level it with 20 minutes to go when somehow her effort from point-blank range was smothered behind for a corner by Roebuck.
While both sides are playing well, Leeds come into this clash having won at four of the bottom five so far. They should be able to add to that in this visit to Reading, as the Royals failed to beat any of the top seven at home last term. They lost both meetings with Leeds last season, while Reading have already lost four of their seven meetings with the top nine this term. As a result, a 2-1 away win is our correct score tip.
I believe that this match from South Korea can bring to us, at least two goals and with a little luck, and more than that. So, here is season just started and teams are playing better and better, from round to round. Pohang Steelers is favorite here and they are surely closer to win, but we will see what will happen. In first two rounds, this team is won four points, 2-0 and 1-1, while Seoul is so far played just one match as a guests, and lost that duel, pretty easy 1-3. Yes, over is ok for me here.
I believe they have got enough of that, although it was obviously hard for their attacking players to shine on Sunday. Villa were trying to get out and get forward themselves but it was very difficult for them because City's high press meant they either went long quickly and gave the ball away like that, or lost it in their own half.

There were so many disappointments in that Arsenal performance. There were so many unprofessional performances from players. Such a poor game for Arsenal. If you break down the performance you could have looked at every single player and say that they could have all done more.

I am sure Carlo will not make many changes, having an opportunity to win at Anfield. The only advantage we have is Anfield. Everton have not won a Merseyside derby at Anfield since September 1999 and lost 5-2 in the league earlier this season, which led to Marco Silva's sacking as manager. Liverpool's win over the Blades also saw them go an entire calendar year unbeaten in the Premier League but Klopp said there was still room for improvement.
Bayer Leverkusen have lost just one of their last 10 Bundesliga home games.

But if I don't they might think Tottenham were right to let me go.
'Correct Score' punters can try a 1-1 draw. After all, Lyon have only failed to score once in this group, as have Leipzig. Add in that the circumstances and the fact that Lyon have conceded exactly one in each of their home games and a low-scoring draw stands out as a reasonable option.
People drop points here and there and we drop points, it's a crazy league at the moment. I hope and think Arsenal can finish in the top four. Ljungberg said ideally he would have "five or six weeks" to get his ideas across to the players but with a home match against Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday before a trip to West Ham United the following Monday he does not have that luxury.
A veteran Italian pundit was dropped from one of the country’s Sunday night round table programmes in September after suggesting Lukaku could only be stopped by giving him bananas to eat.

So it may be that he is meant to play a role, but it makes no sense if he has to sit on the bench. There is no big difference between the two teams, Real Madrid are not much better than Real Sociedad now. After all, [due to the coronavirus pandemic] there could be many big clubs scraped to the bone and many other clubs disappearing.
We have to take every measure possible to ensure that doesn't happen. But if it does, the party is over. With 11 matches still to be played, Barcelona lead Real Madrid by two points at the top of the standings, while the battle to avoid relegation is also finely balanced. La Liga's organising body has put the estimated cost of the season not finishing at 700 million euros ($772 million) and has vowed to finish the season, as has the national soccer federation.
It is the round 31 of the Czech Republic 1 Liga relegation group where Teplice who is number 2 will be hosting Karvina who is number 4 in the group.
