FRIDAY'S BIG HEADLINES Liverpool gon' Liverpool Did you ever in your life, in your wildest, most fevered dreams or nightmares, even remotely consider that you might witness something like what Liverpool are doing in the Premier League this season. That you would ever, could ever, see a team get to the end of January having dropped *two points from 23 league matches*.
Swansea barely threatened at the other end before the break, although one fine Andre Ayew run had the visitors scrambling until his shot cannoned to safety off team-mate Roberts. Cooper's men improved a little at the start of the second half, with Bersant Celina lashing over the top before Yan Dhanda claimed a penalty after being eased off the ball by Yoann Barbet.
Both of them are recovering, we will see in the next days who is able to play," Pellegrini told a news conference. I don't think either will be able to play both games in 48 hours, so we'll see in the next couple of days who will be playing at Crystal Palace. Fabianski is working every day a little bit harder.
Luckless Lukas Jutkiewicz has now scored three goals in successive home games - and eight this season - but still finished on the losing sideBirmingham City head coach Pep Clotet told BBC WM 95. If you only think about the result, we're disappointed, because we came back three times against Leeds. But at the same time, after playing West Brom and Leeds at home in the last 15 days, we did see a lot of things we are looking for and we need to be encouraged.
Former Republic of Ireland internationals Damien Duff, Keith Andrews and Alan Kelly will join new manager Stephen Kenny's backroom staff. Kenny, 48, replaced Mick McCarthy at the helm after Euro 2020 was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Meanwhile, Jim Crawford succeeds Kenny as the Republic's Under-21 manager. Ex-Chelsea, Newcastle and Fulham winger Duff will join on 1 August, having spent the last year on the coaching staff of Scottish champions Celtic.
Stoke City looked doomed earlier in the season but have made big strides of late. They have good home form and that's important as they struggle on the road. Middlesbrough sacked their manager after their home loss to Swansea City. They have been struggling for a while and only have three away wins this season in the Championship. Go for a home win here.
Leicester, who had a number of chances in the match, remain second on 45 points but defending champions Manchester City could leapfrog them if they beat Aston Villa on Sunday. A disappointing day for us. We thought we would come away with a point which, possibly we would not have deserved," Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said.
Sander Berge’s season in stats Berge has predominantly played in defensive midfield for Genk this season, starting 22 of their 23 league games and an ever-present in the six Champions League group games. He has netted four goals in the Jupiler League, where Genk currently sit sixth, 20 points off top.
World Cup winner Andre Schurrle says he doesn't "need the applause any more" after announcing his retirement at 29. The Germany forward had a year left on his deal with Borussia Dortmund but the two parties agreed to cancel it. Schurrle, who helped his country win the 2014 World Cup, had a spell at Chelsea and was on loan at Fulham. The decision matured in me for a long time," he told German newspaper Der Speigel.
Having performed respectably to beat the drop in each of their first two seasons after winning promotion, SPAL may have had eyes for a respectable mid-table finish this time around, though they've gone in the other direction. To put it simply, they're struggling, so much so that staying up looks as big ask.

A South Korean court has told a local match organiser to compensate two fans after Cristiano Ronaldo did not play in a Juventus friendly as advertised. Fans were told the Portugal forward would play at least 45 minutes against a K-League all-star team last July, but he did not come off the bench. Organisers The Fasta have been ordered to pay 371,000 won (£240) to two fans. The award includes 300,000 won (£194) for "mental anguish" caused, lawyer Kim Min-ki said.
What goes on behind closed doors It feels a bit weird to be even discussing the circumstances under which football will return, but the conversation has to exist at some level. The most convincing theory is that games will be played at some point after April 30, probably more towards June, and quite probably behind closed doors.
All Serie A matches are to be played behind closed doors until April 3 as part of measures introduced by the Italian government to tackle the coronavirus outbreak. The result leaves Milan in seventh place on 36 points, while Genoa moved above Lecce and into 17th place on 25 points. At the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa, a late double from Fabio Quagliarella earned Sampdoria a 2-1 comeback win over Hellas Verona that ended the visitors’ nine-match unbeaten league run and kept the hosts one point above the relegation zone in 16th place.

I want people to know about how to deal with epilepsy. I'm always open to talk about it and I often get asked by parents of children with epilepsy how I deal with it. I've not had a seizure since last season but they can happen out of the blue. I won't let it get in the way. From chicken nuggets to £300,000 jackpotLegge will lead out Vale in front of 8,000 travelling fans at Etihad Stadium - almost double the average home attendance of the club based in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent.
I predict the away team and the home team will play at full strength in the first round and the second round runs during this match... although both teams always play at full strength in the first half and the second half runs during match time but the home team can always win matches in matches previous... I predict in this match the home team can win this match... the predicted score for this match is 2-0 or 1-0 at the last minute of the match... I hope this prediction can be useful for all of us and can win this match.
Inter are winless in the last 3 games including the last 2 serie A games and have lost the first place again to Juventus. But with a win today, they can get on equal points again with the league leaders. At home Inter has a decent 5-2-1 record and with 6 goals conceded they have the best defense at home in the league.
Subs: Vydra 5, Lennon 5 KEY MOMENTS 5’ - GOAL! Spurs 1-0 Burnley (Kane). Burnley sit off Kane and he finds the top corner from distance. GOAL! Spurs 2-0 Burnley (Moura). Son dribbles into the box and sees a shot saved by Pope, and while Dele can't scramble home the rebound, the Brazilian can. VAR checks it and it counts.
An alternative or back-up to Anthony Martial at centre-forward would also be welcome and so would a creative midfield playmaker capable of providing the killer passes that Martial and Marcus Rashford could thrive on. Asked about Grealish's performance and whether he felt he was the kind of player United needed, Solskjaer was careful in his choice of words.

RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund will tussle on Saturday in a game that should go some way to deciding who is the best runner-up. Dortmund currently hold second place, leading Leipzig, in third, by four points. Leipzig will be looking over their shoulder at Gladbach, who are a further three points behind.
He asked if he could keep himself going with us and we obviously said yes. I don't know how long he is going to train with us and that obviously depends on what happens in the world," Hammarby chairman Richard von Yxkull told SVT last week. As the Easter Monday session drew to a close, the 38-year-old had a brief bout of coughing as he prepared to take part in a final shooting exercise, but he recovered quickly and began smashing powerful shots and volleys into the top corner.
Mourinho took over from the sacked Pellegrini as Real Madrid manager in 2010 but the Chilean said he had no hard feelings towards him and was only focused on arresting his own team's slide down the table. West Ham, who are 16th, have not won a league match since beating Mourinho's former side Manchester United in September and are looking to end a run of two straight league defeats.

I expect a really open game here, earlier this season FCSB was at its lowest when they hosted Viitorul at home, and with a luck and thanks to the bad finishing skills of the Viitorul players and the bad defending from central defenders gifting really two goals to FCSB who won 3 vital points there and now they are almost same number of points as Viitorul and make no doubt about it they will come to attack here and take all 3 points as they have no less than 5 wins in a row on the road some really decent games as well.

Chrudim is going to face Prostejov. The hosts of this clash lost the previous match 1:2 against Vlasim and the visitors lost against Listen at home and it was a big surprise. The visitors play so well in this season and I expect that this match will be balanced. It is difficult to pick up a winner here but for me, Prostejov looks better and that's why I pick them as a winner. I think that it will be close match and maybe we will see only one goal here. Prostejov should be able to win this match against Chrudim

Nancy still did not made three points on away pitch, and they are among the teams, that would challenge promotion. Le Man did not manage to verify their good previous season, in order to get in the higher league, and now they did drop in the very low place, with the series of bad games. They are not close to the quality, which team had in the recent competition.
You just need to find that one person that you can vent to," said Scott. My good friend is [Chelsea and England goalkeeper] Carly Telford. She is just a good ear for me where I can just talk and talk and talk and she doesn't have to say anything but I know she is there.

An interesting game of the Spanish league between Atletico de Bilbao and Atletico de Madrid. The Bilbao team is in tenth position with a record of 9 wins, 10 draws and 8 losses. While the Madrid team is in sixth place with a record of 11 wins, 12 draws and 4 losses, reviewing the last 5 matches between both teams, we have that the Bilbao team has won on 1 occasion and there were no draw. The Madrid team has a good run and wants to restart the league in the best way since they played very well before the break but Bilbao team will be a good opponent and will want to get at least one point.
Earlier on Thursday, manager Steven Gerrard described the situation as "a mess" and the club say the league chose to "obstruct" their proposal to forward money to struggling clubs without curtailing the season. The fact that this solution was not afforded sufficient consideration defies belief and further underlines the view held by many clubs that the processes and behaviours of certain individuals must now be the subject of forensic examination," the club added.
It was not exactly been a Christmas period to remember for Leyton Orient as they managed to win just one of their last eight matches and although they still have a comfortable gap over the drop zone, they know that they need to start improving in order to avoid being dragged down into a battle to save their position in the Football League.
Video - Valverde justifies decision to rest Messi00:44 09:50 - Arsenal want Smalling It might be a busy January at the Emirates with a manager to appoint and a struggling defence.

Asked to explain his team's recent form, Ancelotti said: "We've had three poor performances. It's difficult to say why. First of all, we didn't have a lot of time to recover properly from games against Tottenham, Southampton and Wolves, and second, we lost a bit of fighting spirit. It was really quite difficult to reach Europe, maybe the players lost a bit of motivation and concentration. He also said he was "surprised" by his team's lack of intensity in recent games.

Barcelona now enter Friday’s draw for the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey. TALKING POINT - Compromise might be the way forward for Barca in the short term Until tonight, Barcelona had toiled under new manager Setien, struggling to get past Granada and Ibiza before losing to Valencia. This was a slightly less crude performance from Barca, but it worked a lot better.
Rennes should pray for Marseille so that they can defeat Lille in this round. There is no doubt that Rennes himself will beat Reims, and if Lille loses, then the guests will firmly stand in third place. The hosts cannot win two rounds in a row, so their forces are in doubt. But Julien Stefan's players are now very angry. Rennes is good this season and I do not see any prerequisites for them to lose here, but they are unlikely to be able to hold on so high all season, but for now I am betting on them.

LAFC managing owner Larry Berg had the same message. I think we definitely have the demographics in our favor and I think we will pass baseball and hockey to become the number three sport in the U. S. Berg. Whether we can be a top three league will really at the end of the day come down to money and whether we will be able to compete for players.
Chayka have record in the game against Pinsk. They have lost 15:0 in that one, which has not been seen in the Europe for long time. Team is not at that amateur level and they showed that in minimal defeat in the previous league game.

That includes chairman Daniel Levy, who earned £7m last year. Levy said: "We regret any concern caused during an anxious time and hope the work our supporters will see us doing in the coming weeks, as our stadium takes on a whole new purpose, will make them proud of their club. What are Premier League clubs doing on pay?Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Club (THST) - which had on Friday urged the club to "do the right thing" and reverse the decision, saying "mass supporter opinion against these decisions had solidified" - thanked directors "for finding an alternative way forward".
Celta are odds-on favourites to land the spoils on Matchday 17 by virtue of Mallorca's dismal away record this term, but we think Oscar Garcia's side rate as poor value considering they have lost six of their last eight matches in La Liga and have failed to score in their last three outings at Balaidos, including in their 0-0 stalemate with Valladolid a fortnight ago.
