In the second half we weren't so fluid and they created some good chances themselves. Toni Rudiger and Andreas Christensen were really good. Toni was aggressive - the second goal is a really great header - so I'm really pleased with him. On Willy Caballero: "His performance was pretty good - he makes a good save, he's comfortable with his feet, there was not much you could do with either goal. Chelsea still underdogs for the top four: "We were underdogs at the start of the season.
When he came on he was so angry. He was able to channel it and made such a big difference for us in so many games, and most notably scoring the fourth goal against Juve. If it was special for the players, what about the fans?"The Juve game is the obvious pinnacle for any Fulham fan," says James. It was by far and away the greatest performance ever by a Fulham side. We had no right to turn over such a deficit against a side containing those kind of players.

Alisson will also miss Saturday's home Premier League game against Bournemouth and is a doubt for the Merseyside derby at Everton on 16 March.

The 26-year-old Moroccan international will cost around £42 million in the summer, with Ajax unwilling to sell him in the winter transfer window. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will then look to Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell, a striker, a central defender and possibly a goalkeeper too. Paper Round’s view: Ziyech had an excellent season for Ajax during their impressive Champions League season, and might have moved on had Frenkie De Jong and Matthijs De Ligt not left at the same time.
Cavani is out of contract at the end of the season and was linked with a move to Atletico Madrid. There are worse situations in life than staying at PSG. I think he will feel good," Tuchel said.

Both Otamendi and John Stones have disappointed in the heart of the City defence this season, but the England international will survive due to the fact that he helps fills the home-grown quota in the squad. Pep desperately needs to go out and sign a dominant right-sided centre-back to partner Laporte this summer.
The challenge is making sure we don’t have a knock-on effect into other seasons and make football compromised as the years go on. Video - Liverpool in advanced talks to sign star Lille midfielder Soumare - Euro Papers01:21 Semmens said that parliament is keen for football to return as soon as possible as an indication the country is returning to normal.
Unfortunately, I forgot I had the yellow card and, in the excitement -- my first goal in a Classico -- I went to celebrate with the fans," he said. Some commentators criticised the rule which led to his dismissal. Under the rule, leaving the pitch to celebrate a goal is not a cautionable offence but players should return as soon as possible.
Beating Roma consolidated their place at fourth on the Serie A standings as they have opened a six-point gap from Roma. As they look to secure a place in next season’s competition, at hand is a game against a side experienced in this competition, and ambitions to advance to the quarters. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last four matches, and they have scored at least twice in each of those, one of them a 7-0 away win over Torino and earlier they drew with Inter Milan.
The Whites will now face mid-table Sheffield Wednesday and an in-form Wigan Athletic side who are still hunting points to secure their place in the Championship for next season, with the Latics potentially facing a 12-point deduction for entering administration. Fulham won promotion to the Premier League two years ago via the play-offs and Scott Parker's side, who need two more points to secure home advantage in the second leg of the semi-finals, will need to repeat the feat to go back up.

It is the final return leg game which will decide which club wins the title in Nicaragua and the first leg exceeded my expectations as I thought either a 0-0 draw or a 1-0 win for Esteli would happen and it was indeed 0-0 at half-time and somewhere after the 60 minute of the game Esteli opened the scoring but shortly after Managua FC had a reply and scored the 1-1 goal but it stayed like this till the end as it ended with under 2.5 goals and that bet was won but the under 2 goals bet was just void.

Quang Nam only got only one point from the March games before the break from 2 games with 2-4 goals (1-3 at home, 1-1 away) and was eliminated in the cup last week with a 0-1 home defeat against Hong Linh. Thanh Hoa has lost almost everything so far. The two league games in March (0-1 at home and away) recently survived the first cup round with a 2-1 with a second division team, but had to raise the white flag in Round 2 with 0-1 at Binh Duong. So, these two teams reopened the season rather unsuccessfully losing their cup games with the same score 0-1. A game where two teams will play safe.

The Argentinean coach has revolutionised Atletico's fortunes over the past nine years. But their form has nosedived this season, culminating in an embarrassing Copa del Rey elimination at the hands of third-tier side Cultural Leonesa last week.

The Warm-Up has a solution that *might* see the tournaments concluded. One that will draw the biggest TV audience. First, UEFA must honour the remaining last 16 ties when the medical advice permits it. Second, they should then invite all eight quarter-finalists to the respective finals. Place eight goals evenly around the pitch and allow each team to field five players.
Hoffenheim will host Mainz in German 1 Bundesliga round 12. The host are 5th in the league table with 20 points from 11 matches scoring 16 goals against 14, in the beginning of the season things didn't go all that well, but recently they picked great form since 6 last game undefeated, and I believe that they will keep that wonderful form rolling to be able to get a Champions league place next season, Mainz are in relegation zone presently and will give everything here to secure a point or points, after 11 matches they have scored 12 goals against 30 and with just 9 points to show for it. I don't think that they can be able to stop the host with the type of quality they present.
The Premier League players' initiative supporting the NHS was "not a knee-jerk reaction" to Health Secretary Matt Hancock talking about their wages, says Bournemouth captain Simon Francis. Francis says Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson pitched the idea to his fellow Premier League captains. Donations to the initiative will be anonymous and depend on what players are "comfortable with donating". It's the power of everyone coming together," Francis, 35, told BBC Sport.
In the last two games played by the hosts it is true they have failed to score a single goal but for example with Isloch 2 at home they had just 3 reserve players on the bench and even though it was 0-0 and they had a man plus they ended up losing the encounter with 1-0 but Isloch 2 right now has 6 wins in a row in the league. Last round they were once more weakened with their starting line-up and played Vitebsk 2 on the road and were 3-0 down by half-time of the game and that was the way they lost the game.

However his team are less reliant on his goals. In 2015-16, Vardy had scored 15 goals in his first 16 games. Without those, Leicester would have picked up 16 fewer points. This season his 16 goals have only been 'worth' eight points. Vardy is the first player to score in eight consecutive Premier League games since. Vardy in 2015-16, when he scored in 11 games in a row. He is only the second player - after former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy - to have such a good scoring run on two separate occasions.
Their last win at Leicester was in the League Cup in October 2006, a 3-2 victory under Martin O'Neill. Leicester have gone on to reach the final of the League Cup on each of the five occasions they've played at the semi-final stage (1963-64, 1964-65, 1996-97, 1998-99 and 1999-00). This is Aston Villa's 15th League Cup semi-final tie and their first since 2012-13, when they lost 4-3 on aggregate to Bradford City.

Lawro's prediction: 2-2Kojo's prediction: Mikel Arteta has got a lot to fix at Arsenal, and it is not going to happen overnight. THURSDAY, 2 JANUARY Liverpool v Sheff Utd (20:00 GMT)Sheffield United are heading to Anfield on the back of their first away defeat of the season, while Liverpool just keep churning out results. I have been impressed with the Blades this season. They have been fabulous - long may it continue.
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.
Looking back now is different to how it was then,” admitted Laporte. When I was working with him it was so difficult. It was training every day, maybe some times two times a day. It was difficult to think, to have time for us. But now I know I improved a lot with him and he helped me to improve. He also sees the influence Bielsa has had on his current boss Pep Guardiola, who has called the Argentine the best coach in the world.
My pick for match between Stuttgart vs Hamburger SV is over 2.5 goals. I think that this match will end 2:1. Both teams are doing well and are in good shape but for this match I see lots goals. In the last 5 direct matches was 4 times over 2.5 goals. Hamburger in away matches is not so strong, it has draw twice in recent matches. I think that this match will be very offensive. Both teams are playing for promotion to the Bundesliga, I think none of these teams will not give up this match. I am counting on a good game for the hosts who are showing their good this season.
Italian coach Ancelotti won the league and FA Cup double in his first season as Chelsea boss in 2009-10 before he was sacked by the club at the end of the next campaign despite securing a second-placed league finish.

There were many others who watched in awe from afar. Arsene Wenger has always been clear that his model in football was the Total Football created by Michels and Cruyff. Even those who seem harder-headed and less influenced by aesthetics speak of the influence of that side. As a small boy,” said Arrigo Sacchi, the great Milan manager, “I was in love with Honved, then Real Madrid, then Brazil, all the great sides.
