At various stages during this quite incredible season for Liverpool, it has been suggested that they could be in course to match one or other of these achievements. Following a 1-0 win against Tottenham that extended their lead to the top of the Premier League to 16 points, and ensured they have locked up 88 of the last 90 points available, it is not being too outlandish to suggest that they may yet match all three in one season.
It has been reported that UEFA President, Aleksander Ceferin told ZDF in Germany that the UEFA Champions League must finish by 3 August. This is not true," said a statement from European soccer's governing body. The President was very clear not to set exact dates for the end of the season. A league on its own: An afternoon watching the defiant Belarusian Premier League Soccer leagues across Europe and beyond have been suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
We had an opportunity to take a big step tonight and we've tripped up. It's not fatal, it feels like it but it's not, so we dust ourselves down and we go again. Relive Friday's Championship actionListen to the latest Football Daily podcastHatters raise their game after poor opening periodBoth sides desperately needed the points but neither showed that in a sluggish first half. Huddersfield had most of the possession before the break, and while they got into good wide areas, all too often their final ball was poor.
But we have to test it. Concussion substitutes set to be trialled at Olympics The head injury suffered by Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen during last season's Champions League semi-finals against Ajax strengthened calls for concussion substitutes to be introducedThe Ifab's decision to trial the use of concussion substitutes has been welcomed by Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham.
We’re confident that we won’t see both teams score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 0-0. Porto only need a point from this game and may well rotate their squad from the usual starting eleven that has featured in Europe and the Primeira Liga this season. Chaves have performed well in the Taca da Liga so far and the fact that both teams are yet to concede after two games is a testament to both their excellent defensive performances and the desire both clubs have to progress further in this competition.
There is no doubt Wolves want Nuno to stay. A contract offer will eventually be forthcoming. It is felt the 46-year-old shares the same vision as his bosses, recognises the club are ahead of schedule and accepts the need to take a breath before a concerted push to the next level. Yet Fosun are also prepared. As with Thelwell, they regard it as a positive that rival organisations are interested in their employees, as confirmation Wolves are doing something right.
What I don't want is anything interfering with our performance and us winning our game," Swansea boss Steve Cooper told BBC Wales before his side's trip to Reading, which they must win to stand any chance of finishing in the top six. We've got to go and play well, be confident, be clinical in both boxes and do whatever it takes win any football match. We can't influence what happens elsewhere anyway, but if there's something that we need to know and we're in a position where we need to know I'm sure we'll get that info.

I have a contract with City now and I have to respect this. Real Madrid are a fantastic club. When you see the white shirt you know exactly what the club stands for, it's massive. Guardiola said of the interview: "It's normal in the Madrid media to speak about Madrid, that's normal. I'm completely sure (of) the commitment of our players, it's about what they've shown for many years, nothing changes.
Home team will not have any problems to win in this match from Belarus Premier league and I believe that they will win with at least 1-0, and probably and better than that. So, Isloch is team from Minsk and they are one of the most positive surprises so far in league. At home, this team is beating almost all rivals and they are generally very dangerous at home. Belshina, on the other side is poor team and they are one of the biggest favorites for relegation this season and for second league. Yes, home team will win this easy.
City, who have won the last two Premier League titles are now focused on securing a top four place. There has not been much wrong with what we have done in terms of points and performance," said Guardiola, whose side have taken 60 points from 29 games this season. He added: "We have ideas for the transfer market, then next season we will prepare to fight again.
If there is nothing that can repair the rift between fans and owners, then at least there was a connection with the team at Anfield. West Ham remain in the relegation zone after this result but they can at least take some solace from the manner in which they performed. Liverpool come from behind to beat West HamRelive Liverpool's victory over West HamWhen many expected West Ham to subside after Wijnaldum's ninth-minute goal, the opposite occurred as Issa Diop quickly equalised and when substitute Pablo Fornals put them ahead early in the second half Liverpool could have few complaints.
Step forward, Dayot Upamecano. He is the golden prize of this transfer window – especially as Leipzig will be forced to listen to offers given his contract expires in 2021. WHO IS INTERESTED? Bayern Munich won’t be satisfied until they’ve signed every single talent in the Bundesliga. But Arsenal are keen too and are supposedly considering a potential partnership with the inbound William Saliba.

Brest played twice at home with Shakhtyor this season once in the Super Cup where they even played the last 30 minutes of the game in 10 men and still won the game with 2-0 and second game in the cup semis of the competition first leg at home where it was really important they did not concede and scored two early goals and kept the 2-0 lead till the end. So both games they won by 2 goals difference and without conceding.
Galatasaray lead the head to head record between the two clubs by four wins and both teams scored in four of the last six meetings between the pair. The hosts have only lost once at home against Istanbul Basaksehir before and the two sides sit level on 19pts from their opening eleven games of the new season, so you can see why we have backed a 1-1 draw between the two clubs on Friday.

While they are five points clear of Werder in 17th, Fortuna have played one game more than the team underneath them. Fortuna coach Uwe Rosler may have been underwhelmed to see his side play out the drabbest fixture of the Bundesliga's return last weekend, a goalless draw at home to Paderborn. It served as a reminder that no team in the top flight has scored fewer goals than Fortuna's 27, averaging out at 1.

Off the crossbar! So close to being a second Espanyol goal! Sanchez unleashed a strike from about 25 yards out, Oblak got fingertips to it and the ball comes crashing off the Atletico Madrid crossbar! 47’ GOAL! Espanyol 1-1 Atletico Madrid: Wow!

Felix's cut back picks up a deflection off Lopez and then spins on to the base of the post! The angle was too tight for Morata to force it over the line under pressure.
The runners and rotatorsThe weekend's FA Cup third-round ties could see countless changes to starting line-ups after a chaotic fortnight but during the festive fixtures it was Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers who shuffled his pack most, while Watford's Nigel Pearson made the fewest changes of those teams who played four times. Who changed their team the most?Leicester18Watford4Source: Opta *all stats cover four festive matches and exclude Liverpool and West Ham, who played just three times.
Teams probably didn't know how to defend against Abraham before, so the opposition have worked him out a bit. Chelsea drew a blank in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Newcastle, but one thing you can say is they create a lot of chances and they just have to be more clinical. Boss Frank Lampard suggested he wants to bring in attacking options after that defeat and, as he said, they can't always rely on Abraham to get the goals.
Wilder pointed to McBurnie's eye-catching clothing at the fixture by joking he "didn't really go in camouflage disguise" and said he could "relate" to the Scotland striker. I have no problem with Oli going back to watch them, he has a big connection there," Wilder added. There was a time when I was a player at other clubs, and when I was a manager at other clubs, that I would rush back to Sheffield to go and watch United, or away from home.
The game was won six minutes before the end when Chelsea failed to clear from a corner, the ball was headed into the path of Gosling who flicked the ball over the head of Kepa Arrizabalaga. After a lengthy VAR check, the goal was awarded, with Mason Mount playing the Bournemouth midfielder onside. Aaron Ramsdale saved from Mateo Kovacic's volley as Chelsea piled the pressure on for an equaliser, but the Cherries held on to register a fine victory and end a sequence of five straight defeats.
There is a two-point gap between these sides and there is a fair amount of similarity between them at present. Both have won their last two league games after losing the two played before. For Energetik, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster season to date. They won their first three league games, lost the next three and then won two in a row.
While it was a game robbed of atmosphere, the ghostly echo of every kick and shout off the terraces at Craven Cottage did nothing to detract from the quality of two sides with Premier League ambitions. Fulham's Bobby Decordova-Reid went closest to opening the scoring in a first-half of high endeavour from both sides, with the forward slamming a shot against the woodwork after meeting a neat pass from Harrison Reed on the edge of the area.
Vitesse have scored 14 goals at home this season while VVV have only scored 6 times on the road, and the hosts have kept clean sheets in 25% of their home games while VVV are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this season. VVV have failed to score in 38% of their away games and have lost-t0-nil in 38% of their away games as well, and we can see that trend continuing on Sunday.
Momentum will definitely be on their side this Friday evening, as they take on a Valladolid outfit who have been struggling in recent weeks after a decent start to the campaign. Sunday's 0-1 defeat against Sevilla at Jose Zorrilla was their third reversal in four La Liga matches and it also brought an end to Pucela's unbeaten start to the season at home.

Both rivals were fighting for the title in the first part of the season, along with The Strongest. Bolivar was better for the difference, but now they are far from the leader position and should work hard in the next games to regain top part.
Birmingham are certainly not a side that gets rolled over at home, but their lack of goals is a worry, especially against a side that has a fantastic habit of getting the job done on the road. Specifically, 'West Brom to Win & Under 3.5 Goals' catches the eye. Despite not losing heavily, Birmingham have been struggling to score at home, notching just one in their last three at St. Andrew's, while West Brom have done a good job of stopping teams from scoring on the road, conceding just one in their last five, four of which they've won. Moreover, less than four goals have been scored in each of Birmingham's last five at home as well in each of West Brom's last five on the road, so a low-scoring win for the visitors, who ultimately are the stronger side, appeals.
Palace registered at least once in three of their last five away games, averaging 1.0 goal per away game overall since August, while Burnley have been shipping 1.38 goals per 90 minutes on average this term.
They kick off at 5. Video - Henderson – Salzburg tie is Liverpool’s biggest game of the season00:24 11:15 - A new Ronaldo? Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his form pretty quickly, to the delight of every Manchester United fan and certainly his manager. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was asked whether he saw any similarities between Rashford and the great Cristiano Ronaldo, and couldn't help but pay the Englishman an enormous compliment.
Bamford had several good chances, smashing against the crossbar in the 16th minute on the end of another fine Leeds move. Leeds finished the half having 63 per cent possession, having fired 15 shots at the Arsenal goal but, crucially, they could not find the net. After the break, that lack of a killer final touch came back to haunt Leeds as Arsenal stepped it up a gear, with Nelson’s second senior goal for the club settling the encounter.
