Club Guarani welcome Olimpia Asuncion in the 4th round of the Paraguayan Apertura. Both have 2-1-0 so far and they are ranked second and third. The advantage, however, is with the visitors this time around. The home side was involved in the Copa Libertadores games and they won over Corinthians just a few days ago. The home coach will rotate players and he mentions 5 regulars to be out. Guarani plays better this season and they managed to beat Cerro Porteno. They won the previous 5 games. Olimpia is again good and they don`t have the Libertadores yet. Rocket Santa Cruz is on fire in Olympia and has scored 5 goals in 3 matches. This game can be highly entertaining at times. I see goals today.
He says he fell in love during his first trip to an FA Cup game - Villa against Bolton - when he was 11. I sat there amongst all the Villa fans and I loved it. I thought the atmosphere was great," he recalls. He says at the time he "desperately" didn't want to support "someone like Manchester United or Chelsea" - like everyone else at school did. He was also attracted to Villa's proud history - William was born in 1982, when they, as English champions, won the European Cup.
Another interesting match for today and new duel where I will bet on goals, what is very real to expect. So, Lyngby is team who is last time in official duel against this rival played just 1-1, but this time, surely will be different, if we know how both of rivals are playing in this moment. So, 2-2, 4-3, 2-1 and 2-1 is home team played in last four matches, while Nordsjaelland, on the other side is played in last five of six matches on same level, or with three or more goals. I believe it will be same and this time.
Not Atleti, and certainly not Simeone. I don’t understand with the quality they have the football they play," Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp said after Liverpool's 3-2 defeat on the night and 4-2 aggregate loss. They could play proper football but they stand deep and have counter attacks. We accept it of course but it doesn’t feel right tonight.
Greaves quickly came to terms with the new reality. I was gutted when the games first got called off,” he said. We were so close to winning it again after so long. But it rapidly became clear that it was right to push football on to the back burner. We are talking about people's lives here. It’s about getting priorities right.
City beat Aston Villa on Sunday to win their third consecutive League Cup title -- Guardiola's eighth trophy with the club since taking over in 2016. The Spaniard, who also won 21 trophies with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, said City must have a "big club" mentality of moving on to the next available trophy ahead of Wednesday's FA Cup fifth round tie at Sheffield Wednesday.
Barcelona will be hoping to steady their ship this Sunday when they host Granada in the 20th round of La Liga matches. Barcelona go to the clash placed top of the table with 40 points while Granada are 10th with 27 points. Barcelona have a new man in charge - Quique Setien, who replaced Ernesto Valverde and it will be interesting to see how Barcelona players react to the change.
ENFIELD, England, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Jose Mourinho aims to continue his 100% start as Tottenham Hotspur manager when he returns to Old Trafford for the first time as a coach since being sacked by Manchester United and believes he will be shown respect on Wednesday. The Portuguese won the Europa League and League Cup in two full seasons at United but was sacked midway through the last campaign with the club sixth in the Premier League.
Preston are the form side and boast the best home record in the Championship. If they could learn how to get more wins away from home, they'd be in the top two. Swansea City also fit that bill and have just one win in their last seven away league matches. Preston had a bad patch towards the end of last year but have recovered well and can win this match.
Things turned for these two sides early in 2019. Bologna went from relegation strugglers to comfortably midtable, while Fiorentina were the opposite. The visitors fought off relegation in May, while their poor record has seen new management step in for the New Year.
We made a mistake for the first goal. Pepe came out for a ball he wasn't going to get and made Barnes' goal easy," he said. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football. We made a big error. Teams capitalise on our errors. We've probably made more individual errors than anyone his season.

zaglebie Lubin is on the middle of the table and I m pretty confident they are going to take the win in this match because at home they are obviously stronger than on the road but they failed to win two times in a row at home despite scoring 7 goals combined in that two games so I think today their defense is going to perform much better and on the other side corona is just above relegation zone and I don't think they could score a goal tonight so I surely take this bet and I also recommend it to anyone
Lucas Moura was quickly discounted in the discussion and so was not eligible. Sorry, Lucas. Sorry, Ben. THE ARGUMENTS Carrie Dunn made the case for Aston Villa's Conor Hourihane - Claiming "he can bring vital goals and the vital element of aggression". Read her views here. Marcus Foley went with Norwich City's Emi Buendia - Pointing out that "he's fourth in the league for assists".
These two sides are on very different runs of form coming into this one. Of course, Huddersfield have lost just one of their last eight, which includes a four-game unbeaten record at home. They have played against Hull and Barnsley in recent clashes here. They blues go into this game with one of the league’s worst away records. Birmingham have lost 7 of their last 8 trips across all competitions, failing to score in five of them. With six defeats in eight Championship trips they have had a problem on the road all season. I expect them to continue their poor run of form.
The whole world has changed, so playing some games of football without supporters there is not really that big an issue. Premier League clubs are not being greedy with this, they are just trying to stay alive. Ruud Gullit: The people need it. People would rather see it on TV without any crowds than see nothing at all. And looking at the bigger picture, you don't want to see a Premier League downsized by clubs that have gone bust - because it will be a long time before there are any crowds.

The more urgent matters are coming in the next two weeks. But there are plans for everything,"Ceferin said they had not set a deadline to make a decision about Euro 2020. You don't know how many concerns we have - security, political instability, virus - we are dealing with it and we are confident we can deal with it," he added.

We are going to play with the players we have available. I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench – now I don’t have attacking options on the pitch. His absence means that a combination of Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn are likely to have to combine to fill the striker void.
We were flat today and poor. Maybe we don't realise what's at stake, we have to show our nasty side, grind out results. As many as nine players were unavailable due to injury this month and Howe, who lost forward Joshua King and defender Jack Stacey to injury in Saturday's loss, highlighted the need for squad rotation during the busy festive period.

Billy Gilmour's first-team career so far amounts to just seven appearances - four starts - and 461 minutes. But the 18-year-old Scot has wasted no time in making a lasting impression at the heart of Chelsea's midfield. Among the list of admirers is West Ham manager David Moyes, who would relish a chance to work with his compatriot. The one [Scottish player] who if I could sign tomorrow I would is Billy Gilmour after his opening performances for Chelsea," said Moyes.
Then it's about trust: is it Pep Guardiola or Zinedine Zidane he trusts with the rest of his future? Did you know? Sterling scored his third hat-trick of the season in all competitions, with his three goals against Brighton coming from just four shots on target. Noble: He's had to sit a few games out for West Ham recently, leaving Declan Rice to fill in the gap. Nevertheless club captain Mark Noble was back to his leadership best against Norwich, who were relegated before a second-half ball was kicked and were totally hammered by the end of the match.
I gave the best of me to accomplish the objectives I was asked for in our first meeting," Pochettino said in a statement released by the League Managers Association. There were equally tough challenges as exciting success. I'd like to thank (owner) Joe Lewis and (chairman) Daniel Levy for giving me the opportunity to be part of Tottenham's history.
That gave us a freshness and I was confident we had the players to exploit them. It was never in our mind to nick a draw. Former Motherwell captain Keith Lasley added: "I went through administration and knowing the difficult decisions that were made back then, you couldn't help but think difficult times could have come back if the play-off didn't go our way. We had a lot of experience. Yeah we felt confident, but we were certainly well aware of the consequences if we didn't.
Last time they met was in a friendly game and it ended 4-2 for the hosts, Grotta played last season in the 2nd league and they did play in this same competition but at home with FH and ended up losing with 7-1 the game last season while FH we often get to see them representing Iceland in the European competitions they do not make it very far usually but good enough to get at least one round past the Europa League qualification early stages.
