LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - Manchester United are the only club to take points off runaway leaders Liverpool in the Premier League this season and they will try and do so again in Sunday's match at Anfield. Even the dreamiest of dreamers from the Old Trafford Theatre of Dreams would recognise, however, that it would be against the odds to come away from Merseyside with another positive result after the 1-1 draw in October.
After 24 rounds this season, Gent won 48 points, ranking second in the rankings. Phase 1 has 6 more rounds to end, Gent is still not sure whether to play the knockout play for the Champions League. Because the gap between them and the team ranked 7th now is only 14 points. In the upcoming rounds, Gent will surely make the best effort, especially in the matches at home. Last season Gent missed the chance to win tickets to the European Cup when finishing only in fifth place in the playoffs. Therefore, this season, they are even more determined. I choose Gent

Bournemouth are 15th in the Premier League on 16 points, one point above the drop zone, following Saturday's 3-0 defeat by leaders Liverpool. We're in a relegation battle now," Howe told British media after watching his team slump to their fifth defeat in a row. I think you've got to be realistic . If you don't talk about it and hide from it, it can loom up on you without you realising it.
Amiens are in poor form with only 1 win in the last 15 games. In the last 8 games they have also scored a total of only 4 goals. At home Amiens are the second worst team in the league with a 3-4-5 record.
With Alvaro Morata on the bench, the like-for-like change appeared obvious. Instead, Simeone deployed Marcos Llorente to offer the element of surprise and energy. Once Atleti had dug in and got to extra time, there was only going to be one winner. Robert Firmino's second for Liverpool only offered brief joy for the hosts, as 167 seconds later Llorente had his first ever Champions League goal, before his second made sure of another famous Simeone win.
Belshina Bobruisk is the underdog up and away against Neman Grodno this time. Fair odds for Belshina Bobruisk on the 1 x 2 full time market seem to be 3.35 and across the bookies we can see them rated at around 3.60, so there is good value on them is various markets. Neman Grodno is overrated by all bookies at 2.10 as their fair odds seem to be around 2.45 at the 1 x 2 full market. Belshina Bobruisk is yet to find a win or a draw as they lost their 3 starting games this season. I would say this match will end in a draw or even a Belshina win.

It is a bit of a shock to everybody," said Robinson. Football is the centre of most people's communities, the gathering place on a Saturday. I think we've come away from that. The commercial product of the Premier League has disconnected. We have to re-engage though community programmes, visiting local hospitals. We want to make sure there are more yellow shirts walking around Oxford. Right now I'm seeing Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, because that's what you see on the front, middle and back pages.
At that stage, both teams had 40 points from 30 games - but they have gone in opposite directions in the past few weeks. The Eagles have lost all seven of their matches since then, while Spurs are finishing their season strongly and Harry Kane is scoring goals again. I'm expecting more of the same here. Lawro's prediction: 0-2James' prediction: 0-2 Everton v BournemouthTo stay up, Bournemouth need to win this game and hope Aston Villa and Watford both lose - but whatever happens elsewhere, I don't see the Cherries getting the result they need.
Our primary concern will always be for the safety and welfare of clubs, players, staff, officials, volunteers and supporters during this unprecedented time. Today's steps take into account the financial impact during this uncertain period, whilst considering the fairest method on how the sporting outcomes for the season will be decided, with the integrity of the leagues in mind. The decision applies to steps three to seven in men's non-league football, while all "grassroots" divisions below these tiers have also finished.
Chris Wood had Burnley's best chance but he could only smash his effort over the crossbar from close range. Palace move up to 10th in the table, level on points with Burnley, who are eighth. Relive the action as it happenedBurnley run out of ideas after making crucial mistakesThe Clarets came into the game in fine form, having won their previous two games 3-0, but their attack lacked a cutting edge against the Eagles.
When and Stuttgart will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. When this season have the following results: 6W, 7D and 12L. Meanwhile Stuttgart have 13W, 6D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Gareth Bale will not be leaving Real Madrid in January and is "unlikely" to leave this summer, according to his agent Jonathan Barnett. Bale's contract at the Bernabeu runs until 2022 and despite being close to a move to China at the start of the season, he is now set to stay at Real. The Wales winger has been linked with a return to his former club Tottenham. Barnett says Bale is "going nowhere," this month despite previously saying he "was not ecstatic" at Real Madrid.
England had a midfield of Paul Scholes and Paul Ince and Barry ran the game. He was only 21 at the time. David Seaman denied Christian Dailly the goal that would have taken the tie to extra timeFormer Scotland winger Neil McCann: "We absolutely outplayed them. You look at the players in that England team and we still passed them off the pitch as well as running over the top of them with aggression.
However, not many goals have been scored at the Tony Macaroni Arena, with Livingston scoring in just two of their last seven games, averaging 0.57 goals. Moreover, Gary Holt's side has barely conceded, letting in just 0.71 goals at home so far, with three of their home fixtures ending goalless.

In his time with Ferguson, Evra won five Premier League trophies and the Champions League. He also won three Serie A titles with Juventus. And, yet, for us, these days, he’s perhaps content creator first, footballer second, pundit third.
Uefa urged clubs to "explore all possible options" to finish their seasons. It accepted that in "special cases" some could be cancelled, but asked authorities to use "a different format" if needed in order for teams to qualify for European competitions. If league seasons cannot be finished, it said national associations would need to select clubs to qualify for Europe. Uefa said it could "refuse or evaluate" selected teams if necessary.
I'm not going to say anything about him [Shankland] now, there's too many people sniffing about. His link play at times was fantastic, then he shows real quality, most people would hit that early but he takes an extra touch to shift it and bang it in the corner. Inverness CT manager John Robertson: "We need to mark Shankland in the box, it's as simple as that.
Swansea City manager Steve Cooper told BBC Radio Wales:"We can do better with the amount of ball we had tonight and the positions we got in tonight. We are capable of creating more opportunities to shoot and cross so the part of the game which was not at the right level tonight was in and around their box.
Many topical morning round-ups would show you the goals from a highly entertaining game, but instead here’s Thierry Henry going postal at the officials afterwards, over a series of perceived refereeing injustices. COMING UP We’ve got the three Carabao Cup quarter-finals that will be played between two sets of adults this evening: Everton face Leicester, Manchester City visit Oxford United and Manchester United host Colchester.
In that last game against Chelsea, Arsenal weren't at the level Arteta needed them to be. They are more used to the training intensity now and they might have adapted more fitness-wise. Even in Saturday's disappointing draw with Sheffield United, the Gunners covered more ground and put in more sprints than when the Blades beat them 1-0 back in October - so there's signs Arteta is getting more work from his players, if not the results.
But if you think about a lot of the clubs in the Football League and the National League, their income comes from what comes through the door. By them not playing, it affects them, it affects a lot of players, some of whom are part time. But more than anything, clubs, especially in the non-league, could die.

That was proved by what happened across the Channel, where the French league's modelling and scenario planning was suddenly rendered meaningless when Prime Minister Edouard Philippe made his shock announcement, and the season was abruptly cancelled, as it has been in the Netherlands and Belgium. Government approval in the UK relies on key tests such as improved testing capacity, and a relaxation of social distancing rules being met.
Reading have form and a better head-to-head record on their side when they host Cardiff this weekend. Neil Harris will try to get his side on top with their physical approach even though it hasn't always borne fruit this season. We see Reading bossing possession and making it count with their individual talent. Back a home win.

Both of these two have enjoyed strong results in recent weeks. Reading have won three of their last four, while Brentford winning four in five. Both of these sides are on track to climb the table, but the Royals have been securing their wins at home during that favourable run. Meanwhile, Brentford are impressing across home and away clashes.
Under Rodgers, he has improved the way he receives the ball when he is on the back foot, and also his passing - he played more passes than any other player on the pitch against Villa, and rarely gave possession away. He is more than just a destroyer now, he is actually dictating play sometimes as well, and I think there is a lot more to come from him. Ndidi played 65 passes against Villa and only eight of them were unsuccessful (red arrows on the left-hand graphic).
none of this two teams from the middle of the table is in good shape,Osnabruck on one side did not won on 5 games in a row and on the other aue did not won on 4 games in a row and I think one of that two streaks is going to be broken tonight and I also think Osnabruck is much closer to win this game, they are just better at home then aue on the road and also they must be in great mood after they win a point vs Karlsruher on the road by scoring a late goal
Tatung won the championship last season. It was all the more surprising that the team had a difficult start to the season, but last 7 points from 3 games came with results of 4: 0, 5: 1 and 2: 2. They lost surprisingly at the home stadium and we surely can expect another surprise in this tight match against Hang Yuen.

That came after Scott Allan's penalty was saved by the on-loan goalkeeper. But Aaron Taylor-Sinclair got a slight touch on Steve Lawless' cross to equalise just six minutes later. Despite being held, Hibs are now unbeaten in 11 league games at Easter Road, while Gary Holt's side claimed just their 11th away point of the season.
He is pictured alongside international team-mate and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, a black player, with them holding their arms out, along with the hashtag #stopracism. The picture was taken in November, but De Jong posted it again this week - amid global protests following the death of an unarmed black American man, George Floyd, who died after a white police officer had his knee on the back of his neck for nearly nine minutes in Minneapolis.

It looks as if the best they can hope for is taking second from Inter and they are level on points with them but with Inter still to play at Roma over the weekend. Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 14 league games, keeping themselves in good form before the Champions League resumes in August is a key target.

Liverpool have qualified for the European Cup or Champions League on 24 occasionsPat Nevin: I definitely don't like the thought of leagues not being finished, unless of course this goes on for six months. And then you are in a different reality altogether, and you may have to consider that it cannot be finished. As time goes by, it gets more complicated because players' contracts will have run out.
Cagliari have scored in every away game and two or more on four occasions. Juventus have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 3 of 8 home games. Six of Juventus 8 home games have featured over 2.5 goals with a 3.4 goals per game average. After a fortnight off, Maurizio Sarri and his Juventus side are back in action in Serie A after a 3-1 Supercoppa Italia defeat to Lazio and they will host Cagliari with the intention of keeping pace at the top of the table alongside Inter Milan whom they are locked on 42 points with.
Nobody will leave that we want to keep. I didn't trust these players, I wouldn't put them in Premier League games. They have been first class in their attitude and quality. We know going into next season, if we're in Europe, we need depth. January is a very difficult month to get the right types of player in.
Looking at history of these two teams the home team has always had the advantage in this fixture. Not only is the home team with an advantage in this fixture history but also they are building up momentum on a positive note while the away team is struggling to create winning ways. Away team will be coming as complete under dogs and I don't expect any shock wins from them. Despite there being a fight for at least a point by the away team I still see the home team cruising with full points from this fixture with a bit of ease.
John Stones seems to have lost a bit of confidence, there are questions about Nicolas Otamendi and Eric Garcia is still cutting his teeth at the top level. A back-up keeper is required and issues still persist at left-back. Benjamin Mendy has not had a decent run of games to establish himself and neither Angelino nor Oleksandr Zinchenko seem quite good enough. Ben Chilwell is a player I'd love to see in a City shirt.

The J. League will make maximum efforts to prevent infection and prevent its spread," it said in a statement. The spread of the coronavirus has forced the cancellation of many sports events in recent weeks, including Serie A soccer matches in Italy, and raised alarm bells for Tokyo 2020 organizers. Japanese health minister Katsunobu Kato said on Tuesday it was still too early to talk about cancelling the Olympics, which start on July 24, due to the coronavirus.
Despite being just 19 years of age Haaland is already on his fourth professional club having started at Bryne before moving to Molde, RB Salzburg and eventually Dortmund. Exclusive: Haaland on how Solskjaer helped him before the game that changed his career Could your club sign Haaland or Sancho this summer?

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty, who was one of a select group allowed inside the stadium, said "It was an occasion that, in a sporting context, held an almost morbid fascination. The whole evening was shrouded in an unreality that made even reporting on it an occasionally bizarre experience. Sometimes a look up from a laptop is prompted by a roar from the crowd - this time it was as a result of a raised voice on the pitch or an increase in volume levels from the players.
