At the other end: nothing. Nothing at all, with a great and terrible intensity. Liverpool, currently 25 points clear of the entire nation of England and already qualified for next season’s Champions League, had 73% of the ball and managed precisely zero shots on target. Their much vaunted front three made little impression on Atleti’s well organised back line, and nor did super-sub Divock Origi.
Marseille's away form has been what's brought on some of les Olympiens' slightly more laboured performances but they have still been very impressive with two wins and a draw in their last three games on the road. The south of France club usually do alright in this competition with them only failing to get past the ninth round (the first round that Ligue 1 teams appear) in one of the last seven years.
Derby have one win in 14 away Championship matches. Bristol have not scored more than one goal in seven of their last eight matches.

Seven of Derby’s last 10 away league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
The Danish FA said that for now all matches will go ahead as planned this coming weekend, but that it is monitoring the situation. The clubs said they are working with the Danish Patient Authority to track down players, fans and members of staff who were in contact with Kahlenberg during Sunday's match.
But they are a rarity - PGMOL match officials from a black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) background. The pair are now determined to reach the Premier League and help pave the way for more much-needed diversity among officials at the professional level. I've said it so many times before that if my dad wasn't a referee I wouldn't have thought twice about becoming an official," says Bhups. So how are other people from the same background supposed to even think about wanting to become an official?" Sunny adds: "If we can get out there and be approachable for young referees from a BAME background who want to speak to us and be mentored or even given the right pathway to follow, it is only a good thing.
The six-time European golden boot winner criticised his club's sporting director Eric Abidal for accusing the Barcelona players of not giving their all for former coach Ernesto Valverde and there have been suggestions that Messi will activate the clause in his contract allowing him to leave the Nou Camp for free in the summer, with City his chosen destination.
The financial reality that affects clubs like Getafe on a regular basis is summed up by Leandro Cabrera leaving in January for bottom of the table Espanyol, who asked the Uruguayan defender what he was earning and, at a stroke, doubled it. Bordalas is learning English and, when asked if he can picture himself working in the Premier League in future, replies without hesititation: "Yes. It's something I have always had in mind and, as a professional, I would love it.
Villa have already shown they are up for a scrap but the Hammers are playing really well and are full of confidence. Media playback is not supported on this device Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal: Survival is now in our own hands - Dean Smith on Villa win The way I see it going, Dean Smith's side will need other results to go their way to stay out of the bottom three - but Watford and Bournemouth will fall short so they will survive, maybe even on goal difference.
The Egyptian curled another effort straight at Ederson, who was barely troubled by the subdued Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Records still in sightLiverpool will want to pick themselves up quickly for their remaining six games and not let their superb season fizzle away. Writing in his BBC Sport column, former England striker Alan Shearer said that Liverpool had taken City's trophy and now have an eye on their records too.
PSV have a win ratio of 71% at home and Fortuna Sittard have a loss ratio of 86% on the road, and the hosts score an average of 2.57 goals per home game while the visitors concede an average of 3.57 goals per away game. Over 2.5 goals have been produced in 86% of PSV’s home games as well as in 86% of Fortuna Sittard’s away games, which backs up our prediction for a 3-0 PSV victory.

Atlanta are the most productive team in the league with 74 goals in 26 games and showed it in the restart of the league with 4 goals against Sassuolo. However, they also have kept a clean sheet only once in the last 11 matches.
Well there is just no way to compare this two teams. Levadia are among the best teams at the league for sure and they will fight for the title alongside Flora and Kalju. They were trashed at their previous match against Flora with 4-0 so they will want to get back on track right now. Trans Narva on the other hand are the weakest Inc at the league currently. They are at the bottom with only 2 pts and overall of 0 - 2 - 6 ; 6 - 13 which speaks for itself. There is huge quality gap between this two teams .
Tottenham furlough 550 staff, including chairman Levy, to cope with coronavirus ‘Listen to your fans’ – Spurs urged to copy Liverpool’s furlough U-turn It was announced last week that all 550 non-playing staff, up to and including chairman Daniel Levy, would fall under the British government's job retention scheme, with the club struggling with the loss of income due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Nottingham Forest moved to the verge of the playoffs with their Boxing Day success at Hull. The hosts returned from back-to-back defeats by winning at the KCOM, but can they add to that when they host Wigan this week? The home side are aiming to secure a spot in the top six this term, so they need to win clashes like this.
Finally, they’re beginning to stretch the table, too; now seven points clear of third placed Fulham and ten clear of fourth placed Nottingham Forest, until now only Leeds United - the only side to topple the Baggies this term - have managed to keep pace with them. Their searing run of form culminated in a 1-0 win at Preston in dramatic circumstances on Monday night, and now attentions swiftly turn to Swansea City.
Both teams are in great shape and are showing very good performances lately. But Alajuelense could take this matches easily from now on as they already secured himself a spot at the play-offs while Guadalupe with a won here will take over that last 4th place that leads at the playoffs. Guests have more quality but it's a tradition for them to struggle against Guadalupe especially when they play as a guests. Alajuelense should come out with a mixed squad tonight as they don't have to force anything. IMO there is good value at this one Guadalupe is very good this season and they should take advantage of the situation
At least I know the sources everyone is talking about aren't sources, they are just made up, blatant lies. Why Virgil van Dijk was robbed of Ballon d’Or' "If history was wiped and football boiled down to a single year, who would emerge as the best player? That should be the essence of the Ballon d’Or.
50% of Stevenage’s home games have produced over 1.5 goals as have 100% of Crawley’s away games, and the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 12% of their home games while their guests on Saturday are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. Both teams scored in 50% of Stevenage’s home games and 100% of Crawley’s away games, and we’re expecting goals at both ends of the pitch this weekend as well.
Bahia will host Atletico Mineiro for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are more ambitious team in this league. True, Atletico is not very good team in this season. They have big fluctuations. In last game Atletico lost 0-1 against solid Athletico-PR. Also, we have Bahia who's is very average team in this season. Also, the hosts have a poor results in the last matches. I believe, they are not convincing team. In previous game Bahia lost 4-3 against Goias. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Also, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Maybe this is a draw.. Nevertheless, my pick - Atletico Mineiro to win.
They are now the best three in world football for their link-up play, and also in the way they press and close teams down. Gibbons: "I remember coming out of the ground and all the talk was about the defence. It's amazing to think that was the birth of this front three. We weren't quite sure about Salah - no-one came out thinking this forward line is going to be amazing.

But what if the good run does not come?They were seventh after beating Manchester United on 2 November but have won once in nine games since, and could yet end the weekend in the relegation zone. Like Brighton they made plenty of changes - five from the 1-1 draw against Arsenal on 26 December. But they were slow out of the blocks and trailed to Jahanbakhsh's early strike. They could have equalised after seven minutes, when King ran in on goal but fired straight at Ryan.
Motherwell's Declan Gallagher and Rangers' Ryan Jack were shown yellow cards after a half-time confrontation, and Morelos soon received the first of his two yellows for a late challenge on Jake Carroll. Gillespie pushed away Ryan Kent's drive, and at the other end Allan McGregor also had to produce heroics - throwing up an arm to push away Long's header from two yards out. It was to prove a crucial moment, with Morelos making it 2-0 when he collected Aribo's cross, stepped away from Gallagher, and drove the ball into the net.
Manchester United could be without midfielder Jesse Lingard when they host Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in their final Europa League group game. Lingard picked up a knock in the 2-1 win at Manchester City on Saturday and did not train on Wednesday. United are already without fellow midfielder Paul Pogba, who has not played since September because of an ankle injury. Midfielder Nemanja Matic is fit again and defender Phil Jones is available.
But their lead only lasted 12 minutes as Leicester equalised when Jamie Vardy's bullet header was turned into the net by Norwich keeper Tim Krul. Both sides pressed for a winner in an entertaining second half, with Vardy twice going close, but neither side could find a way through. The point sees Norwich close the gap on Aston Villa and Southampton, who play in Saturday's late game, to three points but they remain 19th.
Regulations have continually been updated in a drive to stop clubs spending beyond their means and encourage owners to invest in development rather than big foreign names approaching the end of their careers. But despite those efforts, some clubs -- including Liaoning -- look destined to become casualties of Chinese football's relentless growth.
Birmingham have lost over half of their matches on the road this season. They have struggled defensively on the road, conceding 1.7 goals per game away from home. The Blues head into Saturday’s clash having lost their last two in the Championship, which has left them rooted in the bottom half of the table.

When someone insults you and your family is involved, especially your younger brother. This person insulted Eric, the younger brother was not happy with the situation and Eric was not happy.

Paolo Di Canio: West Ham 2-1 Wimbledon (Premier League)26 March 2000 In a London derby between West Ham and Wimbledon, the Hammers' Trevor Sinclair floats a long ball into the box, which is acrobatically met by Paolo Di Canio.

Those instructions were apparently ignored by Mason Mount, who was pictured having a kickaround with his old mate Declan Rice and some others at a football centre near Barnet, north London. I mean really: come on guys. It perhaps acts as a microcosm of how the UK has treated this crisis thus far, in that it’s taken a good while for people to realise that it’s actually pretty serious, and apparently plenty aren’t quite there yet even now.
Host of this meeting, the team of Hapoel Petah Tikva plays very close and very good duels this season with their unsuccessful matches. They currently occupy 11th place in the table with a record of 38 points scored. In the games they won, they won 9 games, 211 games and 10 times they were defeated.
There are three uncapped players in the England squad, including seven graduates from the under-20s group who won bronze at the World Cup two years ago. Neville says he "trusts" them to play against the USA in England's opening SheBelieves Cup match (kick-off Friday, 00:00 GMT) and "some of them" will be in the team.
They are 18th in the table and in terrible form, so the visit of eighth-placed Tottenham. Tuesday was not a good night for Bournemouth as Watford earned a vital 2-1 win over Norwich City. That means the Cheries are now four points from safety with five games remaining. Their form is appalling at present with five league defeats in a row and just a single point from the last eight.

Shakhtyor will against Slavia in match Belarusian Premier League. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.75 goals due to Shakhtyor on last 3 match in league can make total score is 6 goals. Meanwhile, Slavia on last 3 match in league can make total score is 4 goals. Therefore, I think this match will much score from both teams due to they currently are productive to make score. Moreover Slavia always to make score on last 3 away match. Meanwhile, Shakhtyor also always can make score on last 3 home match. Surely this match will the end score is over 2.75 goals.
The serious thigh injury to Jean-Philippe Gbamin, the giant Ivory Coast midfielder signed from Mainz for £25m in the summer, was also crucial. He was earmarked as the replacement for the influential Idrissa Gueye, sold to Paris St-Germain, but managed only one league start before suffering an injury in training that required surgery and will keep him out until January. And while Brands has rightly received great credit for landing the likes of France full-back Lucas Digne, Yerry Mina and Gomes from Barcelona, as well as the Kean coup, there are still large holes in Everton's team that have been left unattended.
Kapfenberger SV will host Dornbirn for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will try to make a positive result. I expect, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. Kapfenberger is worst team in the league. They are currently bottom in the table. In any case, Kapfenberger want to win. Also, we have Dornbirn is also weak team in this campaign. Dornbirn is team of the relegation zone. I think, the visitors have a very difficult task on the road. So, Kapfenberger is better team at home. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
MAN OF THE MATCH - Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid) There’s no denying Vinicius is a frustrating figure to watch. The Brazilian found himself in a number of dangerous positions throughout the match, largely lacking a final product to make the most of that. But it was Vinicius who provided the electricity Real Madrid needed to claim a crucial three points, with his goal clinching the three points.
The SFL also said that it would have to consider playing future matches behind closed doors in order to finish the season.

Dip in form down to ridiculous injuries which impacted on an inability to field a settled team each week. Tim Durgan: Bournemouth should look at how Burnley have prospered from sticking with Sean Dyche. Stability is important, especially when the manager has proven himself already. Sree: I loved it when Burnley stuck with Dyche when they were relegated. That was the first step they took towards promotion, which they got at the first time of asking.
Defensively, both teams have floundered, so a low-scoring game seems unlikely, but it is the hosts who stand out as likely winners, or at least more likely than the current prices suggest. Last time out at this venue, Benfica got the better of a very useful Lyon side. On that occasion, they were clinical, which bodes well ahead of a game against a Zenit side that has given plenty away on the road. In Russia, Zenit are very tough to face but it's well known that they don't travel well. They can make their presence felt offensively on Tuesday, but their defensive exploits, especially when losing away to Leipzig, point towards them struggling.
Fellow ex-England captain Gary Lineker told BBC One's The Andrew Marr Show that footballers he had spoken to were "desperately keen" to offer help but were an "easy" target for criticism. Why not call on all the wealthy to try and help if they possibly can rather than just pick on footballers?" the Match of the Day presenter said. Nobody seems to talk about the bankers, the CEOs, huge millionaires.
Silva in sticky situation as Toffees chase Simeone Everton are considering sacking manager Marco Silva after a 5-2 thrashing in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool which left the Toffees languishing in the Premier League's bottom three. The Express are reporting that Everton are planning an audacious attempt to bring Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone as a replacement, with the Argentine struggling this season in the Spanish capital.
