Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino has been directly involved in seven goals in five Champions League knockout appearances at Anfield (three goals, four assists), averaging a goal or assist every 54 minutes. Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak has conceded only 37 goals in his first 49 Champions League appearances; the record for fewest goals conceded by a goalkeeper in his first 50 appearances is held by Dida (35), followed by Victor Valdes (38).
However, the hosts sparked into life just after the half hour mark, creating three chances in quick succession before Harry Wilson dispatched a low drive past Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan from 12 yards. Callum Wilson's jostling presence contributed to their second goal, with the ball flicking off his marker Pascal Gross from a Diego Rico corner.

We're fourth and it's in our hands. The gap has closed but not many people expected us to be fourth at this stage of the season so the fight starts now," he said. Lampard and Solskjaer refused to be drawn on whether second-placed Manchester City's two-year ban from European competition starting next season might help their clubs by rewarding whoever finishes fifth with Champions League qualification.

Atletico Madrid have not been in good form lately, but they will go here as firm favorites. They meet a Lokomotiv Moscow side that is also not at its best. Lokomotiv Moscow have conceded two or more in seven of their last nine matches, and they have one win in the last nine matches. They also have one clean sheet in the last 10 matches and so the possibility that they will concede here is high. Atletico on their part, have six wins and no loss in eight Champions League matches at home. They have scored twice or more in six of seven Champions League matches at home. They meet a side with no clean sheet in five away matches in the Champions League. Our bet here will be on a 2-0 win for Atletico on the correct score scale.
About 900 United fans had bought match tickets, which will be refunded, although fans were unlikely to recover the costs of their travel and accommodation because Austria was not on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office's list of destinations to avoid. The second leg at Old Trafford is among the matches that have been postponed. Manchester United's Europa League game on Thursday in Austria was played with no fans attendingNewcastle UnitedSpeaking on Friday, but before it had been confirmed that Premier League football would be stopped for at least three weeks, manager Steve Bruce said: "The welfare of everybody is key.
Like their hosts, Stoke City also claimed two wins from their hectic three-game festive week, though they did so in a less controlled, even kamikaze fashion, scoring eight goals and conceding five in the process.
The away team have not won at this ground in their past 5 visits, they have scored here at times and have looked good playing their best football. The thing for them is they are not scoring enough goals at this place to really have chance to upset the home team who seem to always have the answer when playing at home. This match could once again be a home team win, they have done well here against this away team and have scored a lot. The double chance with handicap looks much safer for this match between the teams
Unlike their rivals' bid, a large proportion of the tournament would be held at altitude, with six of the 10 proposed host cities located at more than 1,000m, including the capital Bogota at 2,640m. They would stage games at the following 10 stadiums:Bogota's El Campin Stadium (opening match and the final), capacity: 39,512Cali's Olimpico Pascual Guerrero Stadium, capacity: 38,558Barranquilla's Metropolitano Roberto Melendez Stadium, capacity: 46,692Medellin's Atanasio Girardot Stadium, capacity: 44,863Cartagena's Olimpico Jaime Moron Leon Stadium, capacity: 20,000Bucaramanga's Alfonso Lopez Stadium, capacity: 28,000Armenia's Centenario Stadium, capacity: 23,500Pereira's Hernan Ramirez Villegas Stadium, capacity: 30,297Manizales' Palogrande Stadium, capacity: 31,611Cucuta's General Santander Stadium, capacity: 32,163Proposed dates: 13 July to 13 August Colombia won women's football gold at the 2019 Pan America gamesWhat are their key strengths? Some of the key players on the Fifa Council are understood to find the prospect of growing the women's game in a relatively new frontier very appealing, potentially leaving a legacy for the sport across South America.
Fortuna's admirable style of play leaves them susceptible to conceding goals at the other end. This is especially true away from home. They have failed to keep a single clean sheet in seven competitive away games this season.
Spurs are a brilliant club, but at this moment in time they are way behind the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City. If one of those clubs came in for him, if you were Harry Kane you would be be stupid not to go. Ex-England striker Ian Wright, speaking alongside Sutton on Monday Night Club, expects Kane to stay at Tottenham for at least one more year under manager Jose Mourinho, who only joined the club in November.
Actually, Watford have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. On the flip side though, they have failed to score in just one of their last five matches. They go to this game on one loss only in the last seven home matches but none of the opponents they have faced in that duration can match Liverpool.
Colchester have scored 17 goals on the road so far and Morecambe have only netted 12 goals in their own backyard and have conceded 18 times, so you can see why we are backing Colchester to win this weekend. 50% of Morecambe’s home games and 62% of Colchester’s away games have featured over 0.5 goals at half time, which suggests that if Colchester do go on to win this game 1-0 as we have predicted then the goal will be scored during the first forty-five.
Zamalek is for me alongside Pyramids and Al Ahly the top 3 clubs in this country as they have been fighting last season also for the top places in the league, they won the cup last season in Egypt but Al Ahly won quite easy the title in this country and Zamalek won 3 games from 4 played in the league so far this season but all those wins were by just one goal difference so although they won here with 4-1 last season I prefer to simply bet on the away win here in this one as odds are combo material.
No-name midfields seem all the rage this year with Liverpool's workmanlike triumvirate helping their team runaway with the Premier League and Barcelona's providing enough ball for Lionel Messi to score or create goals, but watching this game it was clear why the Old Lady is so keen to get Paul Pogba back to the club.
After their dramatic win over Rochdale on Boxing Day, which came about thanks to an 89th minute goal from Wes Burns, Fleetwood are right in the hunt for a place in the top six ahead of the new year. Joey Barton's men, who've lost just one of their last five, are just a point outside of the top six. This home match against the side who sit just a point above them is the perfect opportunity for The Cod Army to break into the play-off places.
Asked if that put Lennon up there with McNeill among the club's greats, McGregor said: "Yeah definitely - as you said, there's not too many in that category, so it shows just how good a manager he is, the calibre that he's got. He's a born winner. He demands from the players every single day. Even this morning in the warm-up, he was on the players to do it properly. So it shows his mentality and his winning mentality and that's rubbing off on the group as well.
We will continue working with the authorities on this, including the Professional Footballers' Association and we don't rule out taking further steps if required. Cheslea centre-back Rudiger reported the alleged racist abuse from the crowd to his captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who told referee Anthony Taylor and the game was stopped. Shortly after the stoppage, an announcement made over the public address system warned that "racist behaviour is interfering with the game".
Liverpool continue what looks like a march to their first Premier League table. They are unbeaten in the Premier League this season with only Manchester United taking a point off them. Liverpool haven't lost in 14 away league games and take on a Crystal Palace side that has only recorded one win against them in the past four years. Palace are in poor form and sliding down the table but have had a tough run of fixtures, so they may well be climbing back up again soon. Not so this week though and the tip is for an away win.

Oxford United have not scored in their last three matches but had scored in the previous seven. They have two losses and five wins in their last 10 matches. They have scored more than one goal in just four of their last 10 matches but have four clean sheets in their last five matches. Oxford are unbeaten in four home matches going to this game, with three wins therein.
Goodison would have been rocking for two reasons - firstly because Liverpool are the enemy, but also because Everton have their own point to prove after losing 4-0 at Chelsea on Sunday. One way or another, whether the stadiums stay empty or the season is suspended for a few weeks, it is just a matter of time before Liverpool win the title. Everyone is asking 'how will they celebrate?' if they cannot get into the ground where and when the title is won but, after waiting 30 years to see it happen, I am sure Liverpool supporters will not mind waiting a few extra weeks for there to be a party.
The Belgian, who has yet to get going since signing for Real Madrid from Chelsea in the summer, could now be set for another spell on the sidelines, coming off in the second half with another knock. His body language on the bench suggests the news won’t be what Zidane wants to hear especially ahead of big games against Man City and Barcelona.
Another fine move shortly after the goal sent Forrest scampering towards the penalty area but he pulled his shot wide. It was too early to suggest it was game over, but rarely will Celtic have enjoyed a more comfortable first 45 minutes away from home in the latter stages of European competition. Would they be made to pay a price for their profligacy? Within seven minutes of the restart, Copenhagen delivered their answer.

It’s basically a joke which started with this tweet: Anyhow, five days into 2020 and football already has a new Milkshake Duck in the form of Port Vale striker Tom Pope, absolutely bursting with banter, who became the focus of his side’s FA Cup match against Manchester City when a tweet was dug up where he confidently predicted he would score against John Stones.

Rush goalie" or "fly keeper" (there are several names for it) meant you could still play outfield but when your team lost possession you would sprint back into position to produce the heroics in net. Often a role that was rotated. Only GKs can take pens Former Manchester United player Peter Schmeichel is one of five keepers to score a Premier League goalIs there anything more exciting than a goalkeeper scoring a goal? The answer is no.
I’m enjoying working with the players. They deserve a chance. It’s always a risk but they’re worth the risk. Daniel Sturridge leaves Trabzonspor due to ‘gambling’ ban It was late on Monday morning when the news came through that Daniel Sturridge had departed from Trabzonspor after his contract was terminated mutually.
He still had the drip sticking out of his wrist so I removed it and bandaged him up, and off we went to the game. We got beaten in that one as well. We got back and dad went straight to work - he didn't go home, never told his wife, and we were told to stay hush.

In our situation, I cannot see any player getting less money this season, but going forward I can see a situation where players might have to receive less. Burnley make parking facilities available to NHS staff Burnley have announced they will be making facilities available to the NHS to help with the demands of the coronavirus pandemic.
Swindon ended 2019 with a disappointing defeat at Port Vale but didn't let that minor setback derail them heading into the New Year, picking up an excellent 2-1 win at fellow promotion contenders Plymouth in midweek. Now returning to home soil, where they've won 5 straight league matches, there's every reason for confidence to be high in home ranks.
LITTLE SUCCESS To prove his point, while praising the impact of Liverpool's Egypt forward Mohamed Salah, a hugely popular figure in the Middle East, Al Thawadi quickly rolls off a list of half a dozen Arab players of the past, who he clearly feels did not get the credit Salah now enjoys. Behind those words, is perhaps a sense of frustration at how the idea of a Qatari World Cup has been received in the established football nations, where many questioned the wisdom of playing a tournament in a small Gulf state with little record of success in the game.
The topsy-turvy nature of the Championship means that there is often extra value when backing the underdog. We think that Swansea are a good price for this match but don't strictly see them winning the match. However, they have demonstrated an ability to score goals, a skill Fulham needs to sharpen. One goal for Swansea could be enough to get a point. Back them double chance.
Wolfsburg have been in excellent form in the last weeks with a 5-3-0 record in the last 8 matches and have failed to score at home in only 3 games this season. In the Europa League Wolfsburg have scored at least once in the last 7 home games.
As the Premier League contemplates a return to competitive football, there have been discussions about introducing some new rules - including more substitutes and scrapping VAR. So it got us thinking, if you could bring any of your favourite playground or five-a-side football "rules" into the professional game, what would they be? Read our suggestions and rank them below. Rush goalie It was rare anybody actually volunteered to be the keeper so this was a collective effort from everyone involved.
We knew we would have to absorb pressure. The disappointment was their goal came from our set piece and that is something we need to address. I think we put them under strain and caused them problems but they have unbelievable players. We need to reflect on the performance and that going forwards will serve us well in the fight. I have seen more positives than negatives today. We have to make things happen and hopefully people have seen encouragement today.
But the move did not materialise and, since then, the 26-year-old has been one of the main beneficiaries of so-called Sarriball which involves moving the ball around the pitch at high speed -- as opposed to predecessor Massimiliano Allegri who put the emphasis on "interpreting the match. Dybala scored the only goal in Juve's 1-0 win on Tuesday from a free kick in the unlikeliest of positions near the goal-line, curling the ball over the Atletico wall and in off the crossbar for his seventh goal of the season in all competitions.

Beautiful. Later on in the game the Belgian rounded the keeper, advanced on the goal, and absolutely yammered it into the empty net from about four yards. More of all of this, please. It's so nice to see him having fun. IN THE CHANNELS Did you wake up this morning and think "Hey, remember that time Grant Holt scored a hat-trick for Norwich against Ipswich Town.
