Gennaro Gattuso and Quique Setién took charge of their first Champions League games tonight – it is the first time in Champions League history that two managers are facing in the knockout stages in their first ever games in the competition. Dries Mertens scored his 121st goal for Napoli across all competitions, equalling Marek Hamsik as the joint-top scorer in the club’s history.
Inter come here fresh from yet another Serie A victory, with the visitors still chasing down Juventus. They remain a point shy of the Old Lady as we head towards the winter break. While domestic affairs remain their main concern, Inter will look at this group with two games to go and see an opportunity. They can take it down to the final game should they claim a victory in Prague this week.
The last game, a 1-1 draw with Brighton, offered some reprieve to Burnley, who were on two straight defeats. They’ve lost a bit of their earlier form and in the last three matches they’ve failed to score in two. Understandably though, Burnley failed to score against Manchester City and Chelsea. They are known to be uptight and not many goals come from games involving Burnley.
While Barnsley have struggled over the season, they have avoided defeat in 60% of their home games this term. However, with a 10 game gap between the first and second victories of the season, we don’t see them claiming three points in this one. The pair have drawn two of their last three meetings at Oakwell, while the Royals have failed to win seven of their last nine trips in the league. Barnsley have drawn 2-2 on three occasions at home this term, so we’re backing a repeat.
The home side had fallen behind after M'Baye Niang converted a penalty in the 33rd minute but Timothee Kolodziejczak drew Saint-Etienne level shortly before halftime with a header. The match looked set for extra-time but Algeria international Boudebouz sparked wild scenes among the home fans with a thumping drive into the far bottom corner in the fourth minute of added time.
LONDON, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Even when Liverpool are not in action they continue to bolster their seemingly impregnable Premier League lead and it happened again on Saturday as second-placed Manchester City could only draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium. Fernandinho's 90th-minute own goal robbed them of victory and left Pep Guardiola's side 13 points behind Liverpool who have played two games less and who can stretch their advantage to 16 if they beat Manchester United on Sunday.
Saint Etienne have seen over 2.5 goals in 67% of their league trips this term, while they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six League Cup outings. The away side have shipped 1.7 goals per game on the road in Ligue 1 so far, while they are prone to conceding in these clashes. The last four meetings between these two have each seen both teams score.
Milwaukee Bucks are top of the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee Bucks have only lost one of their last 22 games. Philadelphia 76ers have lost two of their last three home games. Milwaukee Bucks have a 27-4 season record and are top of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference. Christmas Day sees them away at the Philadelphia 76ers who are third in the Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.
Aston Villa will be without striker Wesley and goalkeeper Tom Heaton for the rest of the season after both suffered knee ligament damage in Wednesday's 2-1 win at Burnley. Brazil international Wesley, 23, scored the opener but was hurt in a tackle with Clarets' defender Ben Mee. Former Burnley keeper Heaton, 33, was hurt as he attempted to stop Chris Wood 80th-minute consolation. Both players had scans on Thursday and are set for six to nine months out.
But even if it does not happen, the squad is still likely to look very different next season, with seven players currently set to leave following Ki Sung-yueng's exit in January. As the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League, Steve Bruce will no doubt look to bolster his attacking options, with £40m striker Joelinton having scored just one Premier League goal all season. Southampton: Signings at both endsAfter letting both Maya Yoshida and Cedric Soares leave on loan in January and with their contracts expiring this summer, Southampton will need defensive reinforcements.
Hull City's season is at the crossroads. A few good wins and they could still get into the play-offs but more defeats could see them dragged into a relegation battle. Swansea aren't in the best of form either and are losing ground on the top six. The two sides have conceded 84 league goals between them and the tip here is for both teams to score in this game.
We're tipping Jurgen Klopp's free-scoring Liverpool charges to take advantage of Palace's newly developed brittleness at the back on Saturday, and the prices available for Liverpool to net over 1.5 team goals at Selhurst Park look well worth considering.
Match between Oskarshamns AIK vs Almeboda Linneryd. My bet on this match is draw or away team to win. I think that home team will not to win this match. Home team to coming from a 1 - 1 win in friendly Oskarshamns AIK are very good at home and haven lost a home 2 games in their last 5 home games. I think that away team will may win this match, because they have good defense. I think there will be end 1:2 or 1:3. I think that away team will may this match, they play very well on always in this season.
The position I was in this time last year, I was in my first few weeks where I had chemotherapy, I wouldn't have thought, a year on, I'd be travelling with the first team," Taylor told the club's website https://www. It doesn't matter what the environment is like, just being out there is massive. It's been a dream since I can remember ever kicking a ball -- being a United first-team player.
Despite having defender Yvon Le Roux sent off with five minutes remaining, Bruno Bellone burst clear late on following Jean Tigana's through ball and dinked a neat finish into the net to seal victory and spark joyous scenes for the hosts inside the Parc des Princes. USSR 0-2 Netherlands (1988) Media playback is not supported on this device Archive: USSR v Netherlands - Euro 1988 The final remembered for one magical moment, Marco van Basten's incredible looping volley from a tight angle which smashed into the far corner of the net.
Rodgers defends Maddison over Dubai night outMOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@Guymowbray: A Wolves win would actually put them sixth at least until Sunday. When you consider that this is game 42 of a season that started in July, you can only applaud how Nuno Espirito Santo has met the demands of home and Europe together. Yes, they have resources, but not a huge squad. Indeed, no team has fielded fewer than the 20 players to feature in the Premier League for Wolves this season.
Chelsea have won their last nine league and cup games in a row. Chelsea are unbeaten in their last five league games against Manchester City. Chelsea recently won 4-1 away at third placed Arsenal. The top two in the Women's Super League face each other this Sunday. Leaders Manchester City will hope to make home advantage pay when they host second placed Chelsea.
England's Euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria in October was halted twice after fans at Sofia's Levski Stadium taunted visiting black players with Nazi salutes and monkey chants. I am not so naive to think that we've done all we can and now everything is finished. We haven't," Ceferin told the Daily Mirror https://www.

But that’s the sort of thing that will happen with a young squad, and the sort of thing that if all goes to plan, will be sorted in good time. In the first half, we were really, really good,” said Mikel Arteta afterwards. They executed everything that we planned in a really good way. They have courage to play; they have courage to make big decisions.
Still early stages in this new season in small country Faroe Islands, but last season the guests known as Klaksvik won the title thanks to winning their last 9 games in a row in the league and in the Europa League they made it past Tre Fiori from San Marino and also past Riteriai much harder opponent from Lithuania with some decent foreign players compared to the pay level clubs from Faroe Islands can afford. And next round they narrowly lost 1-0 both legs to strong Luzern from Switzerland, very good season indeed for them.

This potential success is not born of their own acumen but it is rather a function of being extremely and disproportionately wealthy in relation to their peers. That, friends, is similar to privilege: buy yourself out of mistakes that would have deep consequences for those without access to extreme wealth.
The Cottagers may be favourites here, but they have struggled against the top teams. They’ve failed to win against any of the top nine in the Championship, with Saturday bringing a 2-1 home defeat to Bristol City. When you combine that return with a Preston side who were a minute shy of an unbeaten home record this term, we struggle to see why Fulham are so strongly fancied. We see Preston avoiding defeat here, with the division’s strongest home side well priced to not lose this week.
With qualification already in the bag and a tough assignment against Wolves on the horizon, Spurs' Head Coach Jose Mourinho has already hinted that he is ready to make several changes to his team in Munich, and that could mean that fringe players Juan Foyth, Kyle Walker-Peters, Giovani Lo Celso, Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon all feature.

Sitting in 14th place, they are five points clear of the relegation spot, a distance that is too close for comfort. Their victory over San Martin de San Juan may yet be the turning point of Barracas's season and be the instigator of a surge up the table. The likelihood is that the first 45 minutes of this encounter will be the more revealing half of football in terms of figuring out who's going to win.
Branescu was proving a stubborn barrier and, when Kilmarnock's Alan Power forced Allan McGregor into a save on the break, Gerrard responded by sending on Morelos for Defoe. The Colombian's 28th goal of the season was to follow soon after as he finished off a sweet passing move involving Ryan Jack and Joe Aribo.
The Serie A giants claim ‘Inter’ is synonymous with their club and are demanding that Miami pick a different name. Now we’d be all for this legal challenge succeeding but they haven’t exactly been quick to shut down other clubs – Inter Sibiu, Inter Turku, Inter Bratislava (RIP), Inter Baku, Inter Leipzig… and many more.

Another match with non competitive character, between Sollentuna FK and FOC Farsta. As I said this is a friendly game, between two teams that are coming from Sweden, they play in one of the lower ranked divisions. There is not much info about these two clubs.
But Liverpool had to deal with the Raheem Sterling saga, the departure of Steven Gerrard and the late arrival of Mario Balotelli in what turned out to be a fairly farcical summer. Yet when the two sides met in October 2015 the optimism was emanating from both benches, with former Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp taking charge of his first game after Rodgers’ sacking.
Parry, a former Liverpool chief executive, felt a "sensible solution which made the best of bad circumstances" had been taken after the club agreed for both matches to be played within 24 hours. The one thing I learned from being at Liverpool is you play your fixtures as soon as possible, you never push them back," added Parry. We've actually come up with a very pragmatic solution that first and foremost worked for Liverpool, it was sensible to say 'you have a major problem, what's going to be the right solution for you?' rather than a bureaucratic 'this is the rule'.
The Royals' reward is a home tie against Premier League Sheffield United in the fifth round. What neither team had wanted here was extra-time and penalties, with Reading boss Mark Bowen admitting after Friday's 1-1 Championship draw at Cardiff City Stadium that there was a feeling of "familiarity breeding contempt" between the sides with their three meetings in 10 days. The previous two fixtures had been remarkably similar.

Turkmenistan 5 round and match between Altyn Asyr and Ahal. Altyn on 4 position on table with one win and three draws with goal different 5:3 average two goals per game. On the another side Ahal on first position with four wins and goal different 8:0 average two goals per game. In last five match between this two team Ahal have two wins, two match finished draw and Altyn have one win. Goal different in H2H is 7:7, that means near three goals per game. My opinion for this game is over 2.5 goals. I think continue tradition in H2H games. Good luck
Arsenal had another poor showing on the road when they faced Manchester City on Wednesday. Their case was not helped by two forced changes as Granit Xhaka and Pablo Mari got injured in the first half. A calamitous performance by David Luiz, who had replaced Mari saw the Brazilian sent off as Arsenal struggled to create any open chances. They will not have it easier against a Brighton side fighting to rise away from the drop zone. Brighton have in the past few seasons troubled Arsenal and they will be glad to face Arsenal at the Gunners’ lowest. Brighton have however not been winning a lot of games themselves and they also have defensive worries, which Arsenal will be keen to exploit. A scoring draw here would be a good bet.
Harry Kane (Tottenham) WHY COULD HE MOVE Well, he is potentially the world's best striker. Kane has proven his abilities consistently in the Premier League and on England duty, despite suffering a spate of mid-term injuries. The 26-year-old's mission at Tottenham – Project Trophy – looks increasingly unlikely and he must surely aspire to play for a European club worthy of his talent.
Unsurprisingly and no doubt part of the reason behind their status, they did not lose a single game, only drawing one - the 1993 Community Shield with Arsenal, which they won on penalties. The likes of Bryan Robson, Brian McClair and Lee Sharpe played a significant role during that time, with Eric Cantona's suspension for attacking a fan at Crystal Palace disrupting the side before Andrew Cole's arrival and Mark Hughes' departure signalled the end of it.
