Lyon didn't finish 2019 in glowing form with just two wins in their final six matches. The two victories both came against teams in the bottom two at the time of playing so aren't anything to shout about. Lyon struggled to really show their quality against teams more their size like Rennes (0-1), Leipzig (2-2) and Lille (0-1). They scored eight goals in the two wins but outwith that they scored just three goals in the other four clashes with more difficult opponents.
Ascoli and Crotone are in conflicting situations. For owner Ascoli, they are facing the risk of having to board a train back and forth to Serie C when only 2 points lower than the group to be relegated.

The schoolboy was quick to react to the ball going out of play and threw another at full back Serge Aurier, whose throw-in to Lucas Moura allowed the Brazilian to scamper down the right flank and feed striker Harry Kane who scored to make it 2-2. The goal just after the break was pivotal in a 4-2 win that secured a last-16 spot and images of Mourinho hugging Hynes and giving him a high-five were beamed worldwide on Tuesday.

Tottenham say there is no evidence to support allegations of racism from Spurs fans towards Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger during their Premier League encounter on 22 December. Play was stopped during Chelsea's win at Tottenham after German defender Rudiger said he heard monkey noises. A Spurs statement said the club and the Metropolitan Police had "now exhausted all avenues of investigation". Spurs added that the police had closed the crime report on the matter.
Jadon Sancho scored twice as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Fortuna Dusseldorf, becoming only the fourth teenager to score 20 Bundesliga goals. The 19-year-old England international had a goal ruled out by VAR before slotting in his opener after a one-two with Marco Reus. And he smashed in another from Achraf Hakimi's cutback. Reus also scored twice for Dortmund, with Thorgan Hazard netting their other.
It obviously does not faze him. There has been talk of player discontent but I don't think Pochettino lost the dressing room. He took a couple of steps back from certain situations because in some cases he could not punish or replace players as there was nobody to replace them with. Tottenham appoint Mourinho after sacking Pochettino - reactionHow Pochettino's Spurs reign unravelled - in numbersAn 'extraordinary' sacking - but the right decision? Chairman Daniel Levy appointed Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager in May 2014But the same faces and the same voices do create erosion after a while.
That's the same with all big teams. How big could next summer be and will the draw spark excitement?The draw is always a decisive moment for everybody, knowing the dates and knowing what the route looks like. The country feels like they have been more engaged with the team over the last two years and that's one of the biggest highlights for me when I travel around, that people do care. I knew they did, but I think everybody was wounded by disappointment.

Brighton and Hove Albion are 15th in the Premier League, two places and five points behind opponents Crystal Palace. This is regarded as a Derby match even though there is a fair distance between the two clubs. The fans are going to be really up for this game and the players need to be too. Brighton could do with a win to put more points between them and the relegation zone.
Among the players who have played more than 10 Premier League games this season, Jesus leads the way in shots on target per 90 minutes, ahead of Aguero. He is young, we cannot forget, but the way he defends and fights is incredible,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. Of course he has to improve, he knows it.
The injury rules the influential midfielder out of Monday's Premier League home game against relegation-threatened West Ham United, a match in which the runaway league leaders will be desperate "to put things right", the German added. It's not that bad, but he will be out I think for three weeks or so, which is not cool but how we see it is we were still lucky and that's it," Klopp told a news conference.
The 0-2 home reverse to Crystal Palace that kicked off their dismal run was arguably the most worrying of the three however, and that setback seems to have knocked the Clarets' players confidence considerably.
Guarani has struggled as usual in the Paulista, but the 4-2-3 record is currently sufficient for second place in group D. Ponte Preta has so far delivered disappointing results and is only on the 4th with a 2-1-6 record. And last place in group A and only got one point from the last 5 games. Guarani is ahead for me here, but both teams have not had goals scoring lately, so I only assume goals on one side. I think the home team Guarani will dominate this match and in the end they will be able to win here and get all 3 points
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Scott Mills and Chris Stark show on Saturday, Nickless said: "My mum bought the book and there's a picture in there of me doing it. I sent a copy to him to get it signed, and he signed it for me.

They are only temporarily laid off at the discretion of their clubs and it is because the authorities have decided that all sports activities, including training, will be stopped until March 26 - they are not dismissed, but are not allowed to work for a temporary period," Walltin explained. The authorities have provided emergency packages to help and anyone earning between 75,000 and 600,000 Norwegian crowns ($7,000 and $55,000) per year will receive full pay for up to 20 days - what happens after March 26, we must wait and see.
Both teams are struggling at present both for points and goals. Dinamo Minsk are in the relegation zone and have just one win this season. That sole win came at home but they've also been defeated on home soil by Rukh Brest. Neman Grodno have also had just the one league win this season and their four games have seen just five goals scored. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the tip for this game.
Away from home they have won three of their last six league games, but the most telling stat comes from their record against the traditional Big Six. They have lost none of their five matches against the other Big Six sides, winning three of them. This includes being the only side so far to take a point off Liverpool and victories against Spurs, Manchester City and Chelsea.
But, in denying Sergio Aguero from the penalty spot, he did earn family bragging rights by eclipsing his father Peter Schmeichel's tally for Premier League penalty saves. Kasper's save from Aguero was his fourth in the English top-flight - one more than his dad made in his entire Premier League career. That makes the Foxes keeper tied fourth for Premier League penalty saves since Leicester's promotion in 2014, with only Simon Mignolet (six), Lukasz Fabianski (six) and Adrian (five) making more in that time.
Jasurbek Yakhshiboev squandered a pair of chances early in the first half, finding the hands of goalkeeper Thomas Glover with a header before bending a shot from the edge of the area wide when he had had the time to find the corner of the net. Australia offered little in the final third of the first half after seeing D’Agostino's fifth-minute header chalked off by referee Mohammed Hassan for a foul on Nematov.
Liverpool saw off Mexican outfit Monterrey in midweek to reach this final and will now be looking to claim their first ever Club World Cup title, having lost at this stage in 2005 against another Brazilina side in Sao Paulo.
West Bromwich Albion have no win in their last four Championship matches. Charlton have scored in nine of 15 home matches. Charlton have lost six of their last 10 Championship matches. West Brom have no clean sheet in their last seven Championship matches. Charlton Athletic have one win in their last 15 matches.
Over the past years, the encounter between these two teams have been quite even with both teams winning 3 games each in their last 6 H2H matches. The hosts are not in good form. They have lost by 2 goals in 4 of their last 6 league matches and they have lost 5 of their last 7 league matches as well. Ironi are also not playing good in away matches. They have won just 2 of their last 16 away matches in the league. Both teams were not consistent in the league so far. I feel that there will be goals in this match.
Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp says City proved point against Reds "If there is a team in the world that can smash us like this, it is probably City - but we will come again," he said. We lacked fluidity, that's for sure. And in some 50-50 situations they were quicker than us in mind. They used their chances and we didn't. City are incredible.
Norwich bolstered their attacking options at the break by sending on Josip Drmic to partner Teemo Pukki, and Drmic came close to scoring when his shot deflected off David McGoldrick and bounced off the crossbar in the 75th minute. The visitors continued to throw everything forward in an effort to find an equaliser, but United keeper Dean Henderson pulled off a string of fine saves, prompting the home fans to chant for him to be made "England's number one".
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.
Football match from Cameroon Ligue 1 and we have Panthere playing host to Avion Academy. The host team are favorites to win this match as they are having somewhat better season but I think this match will be a difficult one. The host team are having a bad run of form but playing at home will give them a huge confidence. The host team has really poor attack as they have scored only 14 goals in 25 matches, they have also had many draws and it's difficult to see them getting the win in this match. Good luck on the bet
The visitors head here having won four of their last five matches, while they are trying to build on a fine record against the lesser sides. They’ve won against eight of the bottom nine so far, while we expect them to add to that by defeating Stoke. We’re going with Sheffield Wednesday for the win, with the Owls well priced despite their form.
Away side is team that could be able to make it to the upper part, and maybe challenge to fight for the promotion in this season, but they need to make their play on side at the high level in order to be able to beat rivals, like it is today one. Host is with the quite tough position at the table, and their defensive play is not enough for the better result in the league.
On Saturday they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge knowing a win will take them above Mourinho's old club into the top four. Mourinho once claimed that achieving runners-up with Manchester United, 19 points behind Manchester City, in 2017-18 was one of the best achievements in his trophy-laden managerial career.
Triglia FC will host Kavala for this fixture of the league. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. I expect, this will be a very tense match for both sides. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Kavala is very average team in this season. The visitors have a more offensive team. They have a solid defense. I think, they have the potential to make a positive result. Also, we have Triglia who's is not very good team in this league. Triglia is one of the teams of relegation zone. Also, the hosts have a poor results and for me they could lose.
There is an etiquette but you get the gist of what someone is saying," Ferdinand told BT Sport. It came close, there were discussions with my agent. Barcelona had touched base. Barca did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Ferdinand's claim.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho admits changes have to be made to his squad in the summer after a spate of injuries derailed the club's season. Forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are sidelined along with captain Hugo Lloris and midfielder Moussa Sissoko. We know that we have to build a squad more balanced for next season," said Mourinho, whose team are five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. You have to be ready to cope with these unpredictable things.
The 18-year-old is on loan to non-league Worthing, but has done so well that he has been called up to the England under-19 side. His performances have also led to scouts being sent by Spanish club Barcelona, who have been linked by the Mirror newspaper to a £4 million move for the player. Paper Round’s view: Barcelona have Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and at 27, there is no chance that he is going to be dislodged soon.

Watford had a six-point cushion over the bottom three after beating Newcastle on 11 July but head back to the second tier along with Bournemouth, who they were promoted with in 2014-15. On Sunday, they needed to beat Arsenal and hope other results went their way but they got off to a terrible start when Dawson fouled Lacazette to gift their opponents a penalty which Aubameyang scored after a lengthy video assistant referee check.
A shock exit from the Copa Del Rey (prolonging Zidane's wait to win his first domestic cup as a manager) didn't have any knock-on effects, Los Blancos bouncing back with an assured 4-1 at Osasuna. Three points clear of reigning champions Barcelona, Madrid have an exciting combination of experience and budding talent in their ranks; not to mention a magician on the sidelines.
The three other ties between top-flight and second-tier clubs looked the likeliest to offer an upset, as sides flying high in the Championship took on struggling WSL clubs, but they still yielded no shocks. Durham, quarter-finalists in each of the past two seasons, came the closest, taking the WSL's bottom side Bristol City to extra time before bowing out to a Katie Robinson goal for the hosts. Harriet Scott scored twice as Birmingham City, 10th in the WSL, won 3-0 at Sheffield United, while Championship leaders Aston Villa lost 3-2 at home to Hope Powell's Brighton & Hove Albion.
When he came on he was so angry. He was able to channel it and made such a big difference for us in so many games, and most notably scoring the fourth goal against Juve. If it was special for the players, what about the fans?"The Juve game is the obvious pinnacle for any Fulham fan," says James. It was by far and away the greatest performance ever by a Fulham side. We had no right to turn over such a deficit against a side containing those kind of players.
Although he quickly formulated his personal tactical principles - high pressing, front-foot football - after a serious knee injury effectively ended his playing career at the age of 22, Siewert has always prioritised building relationships with his players and staff. I always wanted to have a good exchange with my team," he explains. I looked up to Jose Mourinho in a way when I started coaching. He was very successful at that time and loved his players.
