It's not been a good weekend for Real Madrid as they prepare for this Champions League game against Manchester City. They lost 1-0 at Levante on Saturday and that cost them their place at the top of La Liga. That wasn't the only problem though as Eden Hazard suffered a broken ankle so will be out of action for a while.
Four of the last five Brighton games have ended in score draws. The last three Brighton home league games have ended in score draws Three of the last four Crystal Palace away league games have ended in score draws.

If nothing changes, if kids don't get good education and parenting, we'll lose. In statements issued in January, Spurs said they "fully supported" Rudiger with the action he took, and Chelsea also backed their player "totally and unequivocally". The Stamford Bridge side added: "As Tottenham's statement makes clear, a lack of evidence does not mean an incident did not take place. It is vitally important we continue to encourage all players, whatever shirt they wear, to report racist abuse without fear of doubt or reprisal.
Barcelona will travel to face Leganés, the team that is currently in the last place of La Liga. It has not been a very easy ride for Barcelona so far but they still have chances to get to the first place and winning this kind of matches on the road against the weakest teams in the league is mandatory and we don't expect them to fail here. The difference between the two sides is huge and Barcelona should be able not only to get the win but to do it by a two goal margin with good value on this handicap.
Inter were eliminated from the Champions League on Tuesday, losing 2-1 to a young Barcelona team to finish third in their group behind the Spanish giants and Borussia Dortmund. In the letter, a Bologna fan said that he "enjoyed seeing the great Inter outclassed by Barcelona B", who had shown Inter's "worn-out" coach how to play football. The fan added that although Conte has won a lot of games in his career, he has "never shown a good game" and despite spending more than 150 million euros (£125m), Inter could not beat Slavia Prague and lost to Dortmund in the Champions League.
Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has condemned the "very harsh" criticism of Manchester United counterpart David de Gea since the Premier League's resumption.

Saturday's hosts currently find themselves in the bottom three and there are two very clear reasons for that. Firstly, they've not scored anywhere near enough goals, notching a paltry 11 in 14 matches. Secondly, they've given far too much away at the other end of proceedings, shipping 26.
They have another vital home match as they host Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last sixteen tie in the Champions League. Chelsea would probably have preferred the game at Stamford Bridge to be the second leg. They will take heart from the fact that Liverpool beat Bayern last season over two legs after a goalless home first leg.
After this, the Gunners play Leicester (h) and their north London rivals Tottenham (a) so it is going to be a testing week for them - I just don't see them making a good start, I'm afraid. Wolves never concede many, don't change their formation and everyone in their team knows their job. They are in a place where Arsenal would love to be. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Simon's prediction: When football restarted, I thought Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was really going to get some Pep Guardiola-type football going but, actually, I don't see it just yet.
They have seven losses in the last 10 matches and have also failed to score in seven while keeping just two clean sheets. The home side will hope for a better performance in attack too, as they have scored in just two of their last eight matches.

First they said they would release him and we would have to pay his salary, then suddenly they said: 'No, you have to pay for the transfer'. And paying the transfer and his salary was a little bit over the budget and so we looked for another player. But, actually, I know that it was done 90% in the evening, and then in the morning everything changed.

But England had a really special season. When you look at the way she left Chelsea on loan, then came back and really fought as an English striker to prove herself and break into the national team, then you can see how hard she has worked for her success. The goals she has scored have put her in the limelight along with Fran Kirby, Ji So-yun and the other Chelsea stars. She deserves it, and all the plaudits she gets.
Chievo continues the hunt to be able to return to the Italian finals Serie A. And they have done well this season and should have a really good chance away against Trapani to solve at least one point. Trapani is not a team to expect this season and will probably have to fight for his survival in Serie B and will have problems with Chievo's quick adjustments in this match.
Everton is not really shy at all at attacking since Ancelotti came in charge and they do have plenty of quality players in both midfield but also in attack with which they score goals recently and create plenty of scoring chances at the same time. Let me just tell you some of their recent games as they lost last round 3-2 away from home at Arsenal with the score being 2-2 by half-time of the game, won 3-2 at Watford where it is really not that easy to score never mind to win as Liverpool lost their first game in the league there yesterday losing the game with 3-0 in the end so they are quite decent up-front.

Wigan have lost nine of their 13 away trips this season, while they now have one victory to show for their last 34 away games in the second tier. With that long-running issue bothering the Latics, we have little faith in them coming into this game. After 18 months of bad results on the road, Wigan look like the perfect opponents for a Birmingham side who need a win.
On the European front, Atleti's midweek 1-0 loss against Juventus in Turin means they need to beat Locomotiv Moscow at Wanda in a fortnight's time to guarantee their progress to the Last 16 of the Champions League – a feat they should manage although the circumstances will inevitably heap plenty of pressure on Simeone's men.

Not since 1975 have they won 15 or more top-flight matches. It was also another clean sheet which means Burnley keeper Nick Pope takes his tally to 15 - the most of any keeper in the league. He had a quiet evening but reacted well to a late effort from Onel Hernandez which deflected off a defender, and kept out a diving header from Godfrey in the first half. Pope is on course to become the first goalkeeper from a club outside the established 'big six' to win the Golden Glove award, and team-mate Wood told Sky Sports afterwards they would be "fighting like hell" to help him achieve it.

Marcelo Bielsa's side were matched by the Tigers in a first half without a shot on target, but the hosts turned the screw in the last half-hour. After Helder Costa's goal was ruled out for offside Leeds went ahead in fortunate style when the Portugal winger's cross was diverted into his own net by Jordy de Wijs.

Considering leaders France have gone on to win their next two games as well, it's not as bad a defeat as was thought at the time. England have bounced back with an away win in Scotland and then a home win over Ireland.

Important duel for both rivals, where victory would bring a lot to the teams in this moment.

Whether that's players from Europe and who have had the experience of playing in Europe, like Lewis, I think, at the end of the day, that's what we want to create with this team. The level is lifting, the interest is lifting and it really gives players from Europe, or wherever we bring them from, the opportunity to come in and play at a good level. Off the pitch, it will be more relaxed'His Scottish acquisition is certainly buying into the dream.

Explosiveness and attacking swagger has characterised the bulk of Rooney's career, but this was a display embodied by poise, temperament and guile.

They came here with a clear order to win it and come back home as heroes. We got told to stay at home and play in the Carabao Cup. That is a massive difference.

Bielefeld is heading for the German Bundesliga 2 championship title in the 2019/20 season and this means a direct promotion ticket to play in the 2020/21 Bundesliga.

I feel that it's a little ill-timed," said Becky Sauerbrunn, who has appeared in three World Cups with the U. S.
