Esteli are not in good form coming into this game with no wins in their last three league fixtures. Just two points earned and no goals in the last two.

He is a big brother for me," said Sarr. When I arrived, he sent messages saying welcome to the Premier League, welcome to England and we also talk when we are in the national team. He gives me tips, I try to execute them and to implement them. If you don't play, be calm, carry on, do your job, it will be OK', that is what he says. So I try to do the same. If I do not play, no problem. I come and work on the following day.

After Carlton Cole scored for the Hammers, having turned Andy Griffin inside out, Ricardo Fuller was about to get the game restarted but suddenly decided that moment - in front of thousands of fans - was the right moment to wander off and have a pop at his captain. Fuller walked over to Griffin, lambasting him for losing his man, and then fired off a quick slap before his team-mates could intervene and prevent it from escalating.
Whenever a side drops down a division, their plans for immediately gaining promotion back to the league above will usually require a the side to ensure they make their home stadium a fortress, and for Bradford City that is exactly what they have managed to achieve.

That match in October was the only time Liverpool dropped points in the current campaign. Important football game," Klopp added. Old Trafford was good example, not at our best because of their quality. We have to make it more likely we're at our best. Klopp was asked about Liverpool losing key players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane when the Africa Cup of Nations reverts to its usual slot in January and February next year.
McCarthy was the difference between the two sides in the first halfHe saved everything that was thrown at him, keeping out Gayle from close range and then two efforts in quick succession by Almiron on the follow up. Gayle was denied again with a point-blank header and when McCarthy stretched superbly to keep out Ritchie's well-hit spot-kick, it appeared that it was not going to be Newcastle's day.
These teams have both played in some low scoring matches recently and either team have scored more than one goal in their past 2 matches and have not had more than one goal scored against them either. Will good defending this match could be one of those games which will have no goals, it has been heading that way recently with these teams not looking as attacking they were. The amount of dangerous shots have been lower, the amount of shots in the box too. This could be very much a defending effort from both teams this weekend for this game
I really fancy the away win in this one as Torino did not draw a single away game so far this season in the league, they won away at Atalanta 3-2 and away at Brescia with 4-0, losing the other away games but they were not all that easy as well while Genoa has just two wins this season in the league and with 27 goals conceded while scoring just 15 goals and most of those goals came in the opening stages of this season when they even drew 3-3 at Roma.
How phenomenal Real Madrid were in the last round when they beat Barcelona in El Clasico. Even Lionel Messi could not help his team at the “Santiago Bernabeu”. Now the “creamy” leaders in the standings and now is not the best time to lose points. Perhaps they have to fly out in the Champions League from Manchester City, so that all hopes will remain only on Example.

My immune system was still low. Everyone thinks you are normal but I couldn't do anything. Mentally I did not feel normal and physically I was still feeling the side effects. I don't think I slept more than six hours a night. I was struggling quite badly mentally. The [club] doctor used to come round to the house to put my mind at ease.
United are two points behind Chelsea in the race for the top four but they are fifth, which will be enough for a Champions League place if Manchester City's European ban is upheld. They are also still in the Europa League and FA Cup. How do they compare with Europe's best trios?

I am completely happy with the performance. It's so difficult to play a side like this," Klopp told BT Sport post-match. I don't understand with the quality they have the football they play. They could play proper football but they stand deep and have counter-attacks. We accept it, of course, but it doesn't feel right tonight.
The manner of that exit was eerily similar to the Copenhagen loss with an end-to-end game ending in disappointment for Lennon's side. Having also drawn the first leg 1-1 away from home, they went behind after Ciprian Deac's header, but seemed to have turned the tie around with goals from James Forrest and Edouard. Billel Omrani's penalty gave Cluj the lead on away goals with 16 minutes left, and although Ryan Christie forced the hosts in front and had them on course for the play-off, Omrani and George Tucudean struck to seal Celtic's fate.

I think he gave an extraordinary answer, the reality is that I have dedicated my life to football and so has he (Klopp), I don't know what value my opinion has when I know nothing about this situation," Setien told a news conference on Friday. There are much more competent people out there who can talk about this issue, it's as if people want to know everything but I don't understand these questions, I guess people feel they have to ask something.

Sevilla's defeat last weekend was an obvious disappointment based on their fine recent form and the fact that Villarreal had lost six from eight on the road ahead of their trip to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but we don't think that Julen Lopetegui's side will dwell for too long on the result.
Dwight Gayle sent an acrobatic effort just wide of Nick Pope's goal after the restart, before Ritchie sliced a powerful shot wide from long range.

There was plenty about it that was familiar - the Match of the Day theme to introduce the coverage and then the familiar faces of Gary Lineker, Ian Wright and Alan Shearer in the studio.
Villa won 5-0. Klopp, who believes Cup replays should be scrapped, will almost certainly be as good as his word. It's about players' welfare and they need a rest -- mental rest, physical rest," he said. That's what the winter break is about and then another competition tells us it's not that important.
There are coaches out there, younger ones, maybe less experienced. Maybe they can take a chance. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER JOSE MOURINHO "It's always sad news. There is not one single manager who is sacked that I'm happy with. I always feel the deja vu situation. I'm sad for it but that's life, and Unai is a fantastic coach with a proven record.

They are a very skilful outfit. Do I think they are going to be the team to end Liverpool's long unbeaten run? Not quite, because Wolves are not brilliant at home, but this is still the Reds' most difficult game for a long time - and I am going for a draw here. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Steve's prediction: I am going to go for a Wolves win, being a total idiot. Liverpool have been incredible this season but they are going to lose at some point so I am going to stick my neck out here.
Moreirense won 1-0 against Boavista in the last matchday. They are playing good before and after break. The team remained undefeated in seven matches in the league. Rio Ave is not in best form.

He will return to Spain," the Brazilian said at a Betfair event. The Bundesliga, according to Rivaldo, does not suit the agile midfielder anyway.

FC Nordsjaelland and Lyngby both like to score a lot of goals and win the match in a very entertaining way. Lyngby are good at home and it is also there that they score most of their goals in the league, FC Nordsjaelland may well score goals out, but they really also concede many goals. Therefore, this is going to be an exciting match with a lot of good play offensively at both ends, but I do not believe that we get good defensive play to watch and I therefore believe that over 3 goals will come in this interesting showdown.
If you go in you are not allowed out. I was forced to cancel my plan of going there. As soon as Spain went into lockdown, I self-isolated myself. It's a tough situation but it's what we need to do.

Injuries right through the team have forced manager Frank Lampard to frequently change his side and system over the past few weeks, and they have been struggling defensively.

Media playback is not supported on this device Sleepy five minutes cost Chelsea - Lampard Again, they had a lot of possession against the Cherries, but they really need to be more clinical in front of goal, and they have been so inconsistent that it is hard to know what sort of performance to expect from them against Liverpool.

For all the matter of fact things Harry said about that night in Munich for me he will always be remembered as a heroic figure. It's incredible to think that he went on to play in a match against Sheffield Wednesday just 13 days after that tragic night. A shining light both on and off the pitch. For so many reasons, he deserves to be remembered as one of the greatest names in Manchester United's history.
