Four of RB Leipzig's past five Champions League goals have been penalties, including each of the past three. Only one team has ever scored more than four penalties in a single Champions League campaign - Barcelona in 2011-12 (five). All three of Spurs' Champions League defeats this season have been against German teams (two against Bayern Munich, one against RB Leipzig). Only one team has ever lost more than three in a single campaign all against teams of the same nation, with Leeds United falling to all five of their defeats in 2000-01 against Spanish opponents.
You have to be around every character and person. Everyone feels things in different way. If you copy and paste, it is always bad. Guardiola against behind-closed-doors gamesManchester City v Arsenal - team news and statisticsArteta added that his fellow Spaniard is "braver than any other manager" because he does not compromise his approach to football. He wants to take more risks and wants to play the way he wants and it does not matter what, he will maintain that line," said Arteta.
They are up to second in the table and look for three more points at 15th placed Mainz. Bayern struggled early on in the season just as they did last year. This time they weren't even in the Champions League places, though doing rather well in this year's competition. A managerial change took place and Herr Flick has worked wonders with the team.
Mladost Titograd to host the leader Buducnost, Very tough match for the home side who is fighting not to be in the relegation zone, they have Petrovac on their tail with the same points. I think they will drop to the red zone today.

Liverpool have been winning the title for as long as I can remember. It might be a different trophy but it's certainly the same title. Who would dare regard Kenny Dalglish or Ian Rush as lesser mortals than Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane, for example? There is no distinction between the winners of the old First Division title and the Premier League title as far as I am concerned. Neither would I consider the latter somehow better than the former - just a different name.
Read the full story Ferguson to stay on at Everton Carlo Ancelotti is finalising his exit from Napoli. The Italian has been sacked but is yet to agree his compensation, which means that Duncan Ferguson could stay on as manager until Boxing Day. Ferguson will then be retained by Ancelotti and joined by Davide, his son, allowing them both to serve as assistant coaches to the 60-year-old former Real Madrid manager.
What happened? Sigurdsson was on the ground in front of De Gea when Calvert-Lewin scoredThe incident was a controversial end to a feisty game, in which both sides benefited from goalkeeper errors - by De Gea and Jordan Pickford - and both teams hit the woodwork, while a total of seven yellow cards were shown. But the biggest drama came in injury time when De Gea saved Sigurdsson's shot, with Calvert-Lewin tapping in via a deflection from a United player as the Icelandic midfielder lay on the floor in front of the goalkeeper.

Eddie Howe's men had failed to score in three out of four games between the 6th and 26th of October, though things have started to improve in the final third a little, and Bournemouth managed to register in each of their last three attempts.
It would take a collapse of unthinkable proportions from a Liverpool team that have forgotten how to lose league games, and are at the peak of their powers, to throw this away now. The Queen's famous horse Devon Loch, who inexplicably fell within sight of the winning line in the 1956 Grand National, would be wiped from the history books as the worst finisher if Liverpool made a hash of this. Liverpool will, correctly, point to the twists and turns that could yet impact on their route to the title - but every indicator suggests this race is run in all but the confirmation.
The Danish midfielder has made 298 appearances for the club, but was limited to just six substitute league appearances under Mourinho before Saturday's trip to Carrow Road. He was influential as his side salvaged a point and Mourinho said Eriksen was "happy with his man-of-the-match" performance. Eriksen, 27, could leave Tottenham on a free transfer next summer if he does not agree an extension to his current deal, which expires at the end of the season.
If he can instil that into the team, galvanise the players and the fans together then we could do worse. But he wouldn't be my first choice. Not being first choice was a sentiment also shared by other Everton fans reacting to Silva's departure on Twitter - although some showed much stronger opposition to the prospect of a Moyes return. Pochettino wouldn't be interested' - analysisBBC chief football writer Phil McNulty:Everton fans will ask why the club can't go for Mauricio Pochettino, but the honest answer is he just wouldn't be interested.
A total of 748 players and staff from 19 clubs were tested. Norwich City did their tests on Tuesday and are yet to announce their results. Before the news about Watford's positive tests emerged, captain Troy Deeney said he would not return to training because he feared for his family's health. A number of other team-mates have joined Deeney's stance in not training and they will follow individual programmes at home.
After an impressive campaign last term that unfortunately ended in play-off final heartbreak, hosts Newport County were hoping to be a part of the promotion picture in League Two once again this time around. Nonetheless, the side have struggled to hit the same heights and come into Wednesday's game in 13th place, 9 points short of the top 7.
He [Bartomeu] talked about the other clubs and Guardiola and said when he was at Barcelona he was amazing. He said Guardiola was the greatest manager but told me 'if you want to enjoy your life you want to play in Barcelona'. Sometimes when I'm driving to the training ground you see the weather and there are these moments when you think 'I always wanted this as a kid, it's a dream' - I'm really happy.

Everton were handed a relatively kind opening fixture list, yet were uninspired and insipid, losing to all three newly promoted teams, including Sheffield United and Norwich City at home, the latter provoking a fierce, toxic reaction. Silva's quiet, understated personality also meant he struggled to make a connection with Everton's fans. While no-one can be something they are not, he cut a sharp contrast to the animated, and successful, Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
Albert Celades' men have lost four of their seven away fixtures in La Liga this term including a 2-1 defeat against Real Betis at Benito Villamarin a fortnight ago and they have conceded 13 goals in total across those matches.
A smart goal and Spurs have a mountain to climb now. SAVE! After something of a scramble in the box, Dier's clearance is blocked by Schick and looks to be going in - but Lloris claws the ball away from danger. PENALTY APPEAL! Moura breezes past his man on the left and cuts the ball back for Alli, who has a promising chance but can't divert the ball towards the far corner, where it would have been harder to save.

San Jose welcomes Bolivar in the second round, for them, of the Bolivian Apertura. They had their first match postponed so they will face the toughest opponent first. Bolivar played with the newcomer Vinto and won that match 3:1. The game was already resolved after 11 minutes so the Bolivar players conserved their strength. Bolivar is the best team of the league but they don't have it easy against San Jose. It could be easier today as San Jose is in big problems. They lack the money so they had to sell some of their best players. I smell big problems for them in this season.
Cesena have recently had 1 wins and 2 loss. They have scored 6 goals and conceded 10 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 league games scoring 4 goal and conceding 8.

The Premier League held talks with the FA and the English Football League on Wednesday, and is known to be in dialogue with its broadcast partners and sponsors amid the threat of legal action on a number of fronts.

The Spaniard takes charge from Sunday, leaving Freddie Ljungberg in interim charge for the trip to Everton - another of Arteta's former clubs - on Saturday (12:30 GMT kick-off).
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.

It's devastating. We had belief before the game and we didn't perform. This is the Champions League, if you don't step up you will be punished. After the first one went in it didn't change much but we conceded too many chances as a team. It's hard to come back from those two goals. We had to show our maturity and fight and we didn't do that.
In my opinion Inter Star can collect a quite large win in this match at home vs Ngozi City: the visitors have been the 2nd worst team of the whole League so far, having collected just one point more than Les Lierres which is actually at the bottom of the table. Inter Star has been much more consistent than them instead, being in the middle of the table and having above all conceded 23 goals less than them so far. Ngozi City comes from 2 1-0 wins in a row, however this should be a very hard game because they have been very weak in their away games so far, so InterStar should win today.
Liverpool's Club World Cup campaign gets under way on Wednesday, with Mexican side Monterrey their semi-final opponents in Qatar. The Premier League leaders took part in the competition in 2005 following their Champions League triumph over AC Milan in Istanbul. But can you remember who turned out when they lost 1-0 to Sao Paulo in the final? Our list includes substitutes who came on. You have three minutes.
Meanwhile, after suffering a shock relegation from League 1, it's fair to say Bradford were most people's pick for the League 2 title this term. The side have certainly looked something of a force in the division but still find themselves 1 point outside of the automatic promotion spots, meaning they'll want to really kick on in the coming months.
With four straight wins at home, and unbeaten in six, they will be confident of getting the tie in their favor. In 12 Europa League matches, LASK have won eight and lost two; they have straight wins in six played at home and have conceded just two goals in the six, with four ending in clean sheets. In five of their six home matches in Europa League, LASK have scored two or more goals.
They were fortunate to beat Chelsea 2-1 last week and before the international break struggled past a Southampton side crushed 9-0 at home by Leicester City. The zip has gone out of their passing and despite having 77 percent of possession and 24 attempts at goal against Newcastle on Saturday, they were bogged down for long periods with Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus, who were both substituted, ineffective.
Both Chelsea and Bournemouth will be looking to bounce back from disappointing performances and defeats last weekend when they face off at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, though the Blues are huge favourites to triumph.
