This time, however, Ajax did not get past the Champions League group stage before tumbling out of the Europa League in the first knockout round. The loss of the two youthful Dutch internationals took away some of their spark, but they also suffered some bad luck in the Champions League, notably at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea where they let a 4-1 lead slip to draw 4-4.
Cup finals where one match will be played today, and where there is no big favorite for win in the regular time of the game. BATE won their league duel in the previous week, but it was in other circumstances and Champion from the Brest town will head here to claim another title.
Paderborn have not had the best of runs lately, with no win in their last seven matches but their home form should worry them more. They have lost each of the last four home matches in the league, and conceded two or more goals in the process. While Hoffenheim have also been poor in their recent matches, they can look at their away form with hope. They have five wins in nine away games and have failed to score in just one of the nine. Seeing that Paderborn have scored in their last seven home league games, we are backing them to hit the net here again. Each of their last five league games staged at home have yielded over 2.5 goals and we feel this will follow suit. We thus back Hoffenheim for a 2-1 win here.
FK Usti Nad Labem is playing with a form that is not so great at the moment. The home team has 26 points and the 7th place in the rankings. In total, they won 2 wins, 1 draw with the last 2 losses. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.
Slavia will host Torpedo BelAZ for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. Torpedo BelAZ are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 14 points. Also, the visitors are undefeated in their last 4 matches. In previous game Torpedo is won 2-5 against FC Minsk. On the other hand Slavia is not very good team. Also, Slavia is a very unpredictable team in this season. Slavia Mozyr are currently on the 7th place with 10 points. In any case, I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory.
Frenchman Beaumelle has signed a one-year contract and is tasked with leading the side to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon early next year. It marks a return to the team for Beaumelle, who was assistant coach to compatriot Herve Renard when the Ivorians lifted the Nations Cup trophy in 2015.
Six of the last eight Middlesbrough home games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Tottenham will rest several players and have Harry Kane injured. Each of the last three Middlesbrough games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. A lot can happen in a few weeks and that has certainly been the case for both these clubs.
It's a wacky game that's for sure -- but it's great," Bruce, who was missing nine regulars through injury, said. It just shows you shouldn't leave a game early. His words could have equally applied to an eventuful London derby at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea's stuttering form continued as they were held by 10-man Arsenal.
Wolves striker Raul Jimenez has scored 11 league goals this season but is yet to open the scoring, with seven goals being equalisers. Norwich midfielder Emiliano Buendia has created 69 chances in the Premier League -- second only to Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne (88). Arsenal v Everton (1630) *Arsenal have never lost to Everton at the Emirates Stadium and are unbeaten in their last 23 home games against the Toffees (W19 D4).

His first touch, 22 seconds after coming on, was a good header that forced a decent flying save from Oliver Kahn – the first serious save he’d had to make in the match. They've gone. We've got them" Whether it was fatigue, nerves, Solskjaer’s introduction, the removal of Matthaus or a combination of all four, the match underwent a character change in the 87th minute.
In Germany, for some reason, we don't consider this a proper hat-trick. It needs to be in one half but also nobody scoring in between. We are so German we don't consider it a hat-trick. Haaland doesn't care. I saw him going off with the match ball. He'll consider it a hat-trick but somebody has to then tell him 'actually, you know what, it's not officially a hat-trick'. I don't think it's an issue for him to worry about.

The Tottenham ball boy praised by Jose Mourinho in the Champions League win over Olympiakos says the Spurs boss' reaction has "made my life". With Spurs losing 2-1 and Olympiakos attempting to regroup as the ball drifted out of play, Callum Hynes quickly gave Serge Aurier a new ball. His throw-in found Lucas Moura, who picked out Harry Kane for the equaliser - Spurs going on to win 4-2. It's all a bit surreal.
With his leading strikers Harry Kane and Son Heung-min still missing with injuries, Tottenham are fully stretched and Mourinho again said some of his players were exhausted. I am not going to say what everybody knows so this time I am not going to say that but I have to say Steven Bergwijn, it's too much for him to play so many minutes like he is doing," Mourinho said, "I prefer to call Lucas (Moura) a hero, he is playing every minute of every game in every position.

Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson explained the importance of the change at Ifab's recent AGM, saying "the shoulder itself doesn't really have an opportunity to make the body bigger whereas the arms do". The "T-shirt line" or armpit - essentially where the sleeve on a T-shirt ends - will become a key marker on the player's body for match officials, with anything below that being handball. Jonathan Ford, chief executive of the Football Association of Wales, explained the law change as "basically a clarification as to where exactly does the arm start in the case of handball and where does the shoulder finish".

Football is suspended across most of Europe because of the continued spread of coronavirus. The game in England is suspended indefinitely and, while Premier League clubs are due to meet on Friday to discuss the situation, there is unlikely to be a resumption any time soon to a top-flight season that still has nine rounds of fixtures to play. Belgium's Pro-League made the choice to cancel its season, although the decision to ratify this is still pending.

Bayern have been in spectacular form since Hansi Flick took over in November, winning 23 of his 26 matches in charge. Their squad has a seemingly perfect balance between winning experience and youthful potential. While they have been steamrolling all opponents who cross them - winning their last nine league games - Bayern will be without two key players, Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller, on Saturday due to respective suspensions.

He got his side's only goal in a 3-1 defeat by Darmstadt 98 that still left Stuttgart in the second promotion spot.

MANCHESTER, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Chelsea's young side have made huge strides under Frank Lampard this season but having opened the scoring and dominated much of the first half at Manchester City before losing 2-1 on Saturday they will see it as an opportunity missed. Chelsea took the lead through N’Golo Kante after 21 minutes after keeping City on the back foot for most of the opening exchanges, with Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic controlling proceedings from midfield.
Last season we had one of the lowest budgets in the Championship and we'd taken several hundred thousand off it. If we are facing the worst-case scenario, whereby there are no fans coming through the turnstiles until 2021, the budget we had last year would need to be cut even further. If we don't get it right, it could put the future of the club in jeopardy and we won't allow that to happen. We furloughed our players until the end of May and then extended that to the end of July.

It was just what Watford required to build on the home win against Norwich City, ensuring momentum was maintained and increasing the peril for the likes of Bournemouth and Aston Villa with Norwich City now relegated. Manager Nigel Pearson has been involved in great escapes before, as an assistant at West Bromwich Albion and in charge at Leicester City - and this result goes a long way towards helping him preserve that record.
Another chance for Schick, he gets away from his marker Ben Davies then beats Dele Alli to the corner and flicks his header just wide. Best opportunity of the match for Werner. Angelino squeezes the ball through to him and he pokes the ball straight at Lloris at chest height and it is out for a corner.
TALKING POINT Leeds on the way back? Much has been made of Bielsa’s madcap methods, but the results continue to bear fruit in some style, even if they came up just short against a strong Arsenal side. Leeds seem set to return to the Premier League, and on this evidence, playing at this intensity and with incredible attacking intent, a return to the top flight could well be a long one.
A decision on the 2 July Premier League match at Etihad Stadium will be made at a meeting of Manchester City Council's safety advisory group on Thursday. Police requested five games be played at neutral venues over safety concerns. I would prefer it is at Manchester, otherwise it would be really difficult to organise it," Klopp said. I don't know how it would be, but it would not be in Liverpool so it would mean we both have to go somewhere where we both need a hotel.
Nantes have been poor recently but Toulouse have been awful so we're backing the home side to get the victory here. The Canaries haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last five league games but with Toulouse conceding for fun under Kombouaré, we're expecting this to finish 2-1 to the hosts.
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.

Dele Alli has "a chance" of featuring in Tottenham's FA Cup fourth-round replay at Southampton, says Spurs boss Jose Mourinho. England midfielder Alli was injured by a Raheem Sterling tackle during Sunday's 2-0 win over Manchester City. He was able to play on before being replaced but Mourinho, who believes Sterling should have been sent off, said Alli could play against Saints. Dele Alli was very lucky," said the Spurs boss on Tuesday.
It was a disappointing outcome for Bournemouth, who had done all they could in their game to give them hope of staying up. Eddie Howe's side looked determined to fight for their survival right from the outset and deservedly went ahead when Joshua King scored from the penalty spot after Richarlison handled inside the area. Bournemouth could have had a second penalty soon for a handball by Lucas Digne but neither the referee or the video assistant referee felt there was an infringement.
Put simply: Barca need Neymar to recover their magic. ESTIMATED COST: £180m NeymarGetty Images 1. Kylian Mbappe (PSG) WHY COULD HE MOVE He is the greatest talent of his generation and, in the minds of all the huge clubs, is the most obvious successor to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Mbappe (let’s remember, still just 21) is full of ambitions that PSG are unlikely to be capable of satisfying.
Dier and Sissoko have started the last three matches, but Mourinho might be thinking that he cannot rely on Harry Winks at the moment because he has been out injured. I do think Winks fits the profile of a holding midfielder in a Mourinho team, though. He is good on the ball, will sit in and not venture forward too often, and can get out of tight spaces. If he maintains his fitness, there will be a place for him.
Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois.
