Frankfurt, who made it to the final four last season, made it through the round of 32 after an impressive 6-3 aggregate win over Salzburg. Basel, semi-finalists in 2013 with a squad that featured Mohamed Salah, navigated their way past APOEL with a comfortable 4-0 aggregate win in the last round. The consequence of Frankfurt's achievements last season was alerting clubs around Europe to the talents in their ranks.
The Egyptian centre-back has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabian side Al-Ittihad. On the pitch, it took the Baggies half an hour to muster an effort of note as Brentford - who have never won an away league game against them - produced some fine football, with Said Benrahma prominent. Christian Norgaard was not far away with a curling effort before fellow Dane Dalsgaard scored his first goal for the club since November 2018, but a lapse in concentration allowed Furlong to make it 1-1.
However, against Aston Villa - and games don't get much bigger than Wembley cup finals - I thought Foden played brilliantly. The discipline he showed throughout the match and the way he constantly held his position, and the team their shape, indicated that here is a real team player. It was Foden's ball back across the box that provided the opening for Sergio Aguero to score. For Foden to start and finish such a high-profile game suggests he is growing fast and winning Pep Guardiola's trust.
This match will have a lot more importance for Standard Liege than Arsenal. The hosts carry a good run to the game, especially in Europa League, where they have not lost in 10 home matches. One factor though, about them, and Arsenal too, is the porous nature of their defences. Standard Liege have three clean sheets in 15 matches, and Arsenal have two; with this, we can expect goals from both sides, looking at their scoring records as well. Arsenal have been on a poor run, but just managed a comeback to win their first in 10 matches. They will be keen to build on that here and despite having secured a place in the next round, they are seeking stability and that comes with wins. Their poor season is not so much reflected in Europa League, and they beat Standard Liege 4-0 in the first meeting. Having Standard Liege’s home form as well, we feel this could end in a draw.
They have not won a major trophy since. Inter have won the last three matches between the sides and have not lost to Milan in Serie A for over four years, although they were beaten in the Coppa Italia in the 2017-18 season. Milan suffered a dire season before Ibrahimovic agreed to return for a second stint and were thumped 5-0 by Atalanta in the last game before his arrival.
Zinedine Zidane's side were rampant from the word go as they turned in one of their best performances of the campaign, while Los Che, unbeaten in seven going into the contest, froze like rabbits caught in the headlights.
The new points-based system would come into force when the UK officially leaves the EU, which is expected to be the start of 2021. It could come in midway through the season, but the intention is for the measures to have been agreed before the start of the 2020-21 season. The FA's latest accounts state Brexit could have "a potential negative impact on the number of European players entering the English game which could result in a devaluation of the domestic rights of English competitions".
West Ham have now surrendered 15 points from winning positions this season and their frailty has left Chilean Pellegrini scratching his head. When you are winning 1-0, of course you are disappointed after you lose the game 2-1," Pellegrini, who was reported to be one game away from the sack before West Ham beat Southampton 1-0 12 days ago, told reporters.
He has not played since suffering a hamstring injury in a 2-0 defeat by Tottenham on 2 FebruaryThere are not many goals in this Real team, but they are difficult to break down and Sterling will make a difference just by being on the pitch if he has recovered from his hamstring injury. I know he is not in the greatest form at the moment in terms of goals or assists, but the way he changes games is not necessarily down to him getting on the ball.

That sparked a personal goal glut that carried France to the trophy, Edouard's shyness melting away as he went on to be named player of tournament and finish as top scorer with eight goals in six games, including a hat-trick in the 4-1 rout of Germany in the final. Edouard was lavished with plaudits, but he steadfastly stressed the group effort, saying: "It's a massive pleasure to be a European champion.
numancia welcome las palmas in this encounter. It is important to note that both teams have not been in fine form for the last five games which see numancia have a record of 2 drawers and 2 losses in their last five matches and las palmas have 3 defeats and 2 draws in their last five matches which is quite dismal. It is also important to note that both teams have not been up to standard as far as goal scoring is concerned hence the prediction verdict of this game is of at least one goal to be scored by either teams

If I could bring Mbappe [to Real Madrid]. Hazard told Le Parisien. There are many young players that have high potential but, if Kylian continues like this, he'll be one of the best players in history. By 20 years old, I'd already been champion of France with Lille, but in terms of statistics, there's no comparison [between me and Mbappe].

Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Dijon’s and five of Metz’s last six matches and both teams have scored in three of Dijon’s and four of Metz’s last five matches, which is wy we have backed a final scoreline of 1-1 between the pair this Saturday. Dijon have drawn two of their last three matches and Metz have drawn four of their last six matches, suggesting a stalemate could well be on the cards this weekend.
I've been in love with Mbappé for a long time," said Zidane. I've been seeing him for a long time, when he came here [to Real Madrid] for trials. Spurs lineup Ake transfer Tottenham are keeping a close eye on Bournemouth defender Nathan Aké as they look to bolster their defence, having kept just one clean sheet this season, the lowest of any side in the Premier League.
The decision came after league-wide talks aimed at a collective pay deal broke down without resolution. The Premier League proposed a 30% pay cut, but the Professional Footballers' Association said that would affect tax contributions to the NHS. Arsenal said in a statement earlier this week "our owners, Kroenke, Sports & Entertainment, are fully committed to supporting Arsenal through this challenging time".
Interim head coach Hayden Mullins says he would "love" to be appointed as the Hornets manager on a permanent basis. Under-23 coach Mullins, 40, was put in temporary charge on Monday following the sacking of Quique Sanchez Flores. He led the Premier League's bottom club in their 2-0 defeat by Leicester on Wednesday and says he will still be in charge for Saturday's game against Crystal Palace "as far as I know".
Hagi joins Rangers on loan from GenkBarisic pens Rangers extension"For me, Ibrox is the best atmosphere I have ever played in. My second game for Hibs was against Rangers at Ibrox and after the game, I told my agent immediately my dream would be to play in this stadium in front of these fans as they are the best fans in the world - the support is massive. Gerrard says he has been tracking Kamberi for a while and backed the forward to "contribute in a positive way to what we want to achieve this season".
Juventus have signed Sweden midfielder Dejan Kulusevski from Atalanta in a 35m euro (£29. The 19-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half year contract with the Serie A side but will return on loan to Parma until the end of the season. Kulusevski signed a one-year loan deal with Parma in July 2019 and has scored four goals in 17 appearances.
The visitors will expect to add to their form, mainly due to the terrible shape of Barnsley’s defence. The hosts have conceded more goals than anyone in the division, while they’ve conceded twice in 13 of their 18 games this term. With eight of the Tykes’ last nine at home seeing them concede two goals or more, we don’t hold much hope in their defence.

Subs: Kohr 7, Gracinovic 7. KEY STATS When leading at half-time, Arsenal were unbeaten in 46 matches, winning 40 and drawing six - until tonight.
They were chasing a European spot before a dismal run of five defeats put paid to that. A top ten finish (eight points away) is not impossible but a bottom-half placing is much likelier. United are fifth in the table, which looked like an alright position to be in before Man City won the appeal against their European ban on Monday.
There was no dramatic comeback from Tottenham this time. Last year's Champions League runners-up tumbled limply out of Europe on Wednesday with a disappointing defeat against RB Leipzig, within a week of Norwich City knocking them out of the FA Cup. It means a top-four finish in the Premier League is all Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has got left to play for, but can his injury-hit side really salvage their season? Spurs have not only lost their strikers, they have also lost their identity and any momentum, according to former England keeper Robert Green, who watched them in Germany as co-commentator for BBC Radio 5 live.
Monaco racked up yet another win just before the international break as they beat Dijon 1-0. It wasn't the most encouraging of victories from les Monegasques but was a great way to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to Saint-Étienne the week before. They have now won six of their last eight games but there is cause for concern as five of these victories came at home. The principality side have won just one of their away games this season.
Champions League: What have we learned from group stage?Jurgen Klopp rejects Champions League expansion claimsThis season's final is on 30 May at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul, the ground where Liverpool won the epic 2005 final against AC Milan when they came back from three down to draw 3-3 and win on penalties. The Reds' last-16 draw also takes them back to the stadium in which they won last year's final - Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano.
Duncan Ferguson may not be Everton's long-term choice to succeed sacked manager Marco Silva - but he produced enough in 90 minutes to ensure his time in charge will never be forgotten at Goodison Park. The giant Scot acquired cult status among large sections of Everton's support for his anti-hero persona as a player - silent off the pitch but a big noise on it in every context. Ferguson has been a background figure at Everton in recent years, on the support staff of four managers who ended up being dismissed.
The hosts responded after the interval with striker Chris Wood scoring the equaliser from a rebound after Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saved a header from Ben Mee. Leicester, third in the standings, had an opportunity to reclaim the lead when Mee brought down Barnes in the box but Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope made a spectacular save to deny Jamie Vardy's penalty.

However the Scotsman departed on bad terms as he felt he deserved a contract extension beyond the single campaign. According to talkSPORT - if the 56-year-old is to be tempted to return to West Ham then it is believed he will want a long-term deal. Eddie Howe (Bournemouth) - Odds 12/1 The longest-serving active manager in the Premier League has done very well to keep Bournemouth in the English top-flight since getting them promoted in 2015, but is now the time he will jump ship? Howe admitted following Bournemouth's 2-0 defeat to Brighton that the club was in "our most difficult moment we've had in the Premier League" having lost seven of their last nine matches, and the 42-year-old may fancy a new challenge and the opportunity to work with greater finances.
Wattens are slowly becoming a punching bag for almost every team. Having a poor run of form and generous at the back they have serious trouble in this fixture with a struggling home team seeking to find momentum. Rapid Wien will surely not want to give away this opportunity to build on mentality and confidence to catch up with points after falling back. How the away team will be plotting to win I don't know but it will take a miracle for that, which sometimes happen, but I see the home team coming strong to choke out any hope for the away team to grab even a point.
Defenders Charlie Daniels and Lloyd Kelly are also long-term injury worries - Daniels was not registered for the second half of the season after a serious knee injury so will be kicking his heels if he does get back to fitness, but Kelly (hamstring) could make a comeback. Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton is not expected to be fit again before AugustNo reprieve for VillaThere doesn't look like too much good news for fellow strugglers Aston Villa though.
Chelsea were 3-0 up inside 20 minutes, in front of a crowd of 4,000 at Meadow Park, in the battle between London's top two teams. Bethany England curled in the opener from the edge of the box after 10 minutes, her 15th goal of the campaign, and the unmarked Kerr headed a second three minutes later to open her tally since joining in November.
It is the second round after the break and Heracles welcomes Feyenoord in the 20`th round of the Netherlands Eredivisie. Heracles lost the first match after the break and Emmen won that match with 1:0. They also lost the cup match in midweek to Vitesse which put another damper to their spirit. The mood hasn`t bee that good in Heracles lately and they are without a win in the past 5 matches. Heracles has 5-1-3 at home and much better results. Feyenoord is ranked 5th in the league and they are undefeated in 8 matches. Since Advocaat took over, the mood is much better and so are the results. Feyenoord won 7 of the last 8 against Heracles.
A club statement said Suarez, 32, had an operation to treat an injury to the lateral meniscus in his right knee and would be out of action for about four months. The Uruguayan is the third top scorer in La Liga with 11 goals this season and the club's second leading marksman behind Lionel Messi. Barca have no natural replacement for Suarez at centre-forward, and France forward Antoine Griezmann may have to play in the role unless the team decide to sign a striker before the transfer window closes on Feb.

I don't think it gets better than that. Did you know? Deeney both scored and assisted in a Premier League game for the first time since March 2019. Ismaila Sarr: When Watford manager Nigel Pearson decided to replace Roberto Pereyra with Sarr he couldn't possibly have thought that the Senegal international could take the 'soon-to-be-installed' Premier League champions apart. The warning sign came in the first minute of the second half when Alisson had to pull off a sharp save to keep the striker at bay.
West Ham's supporters applauded their players at the end. They had given everything but came up short. Lukasz Fabianski made mistakes which led to two of Liverpool's goalsThe trick for Moyes now is to get West Ham to repeat this sort of effort on a regular basis between now and the end of the season. The night started on a discordant note with the expected show of discontent from West Ham's supporters in their section of the Anfield Road Stand.
