However, the Toffees have shown considerable improvement since Marco Silva left the club, and they’re currently unbeaten in three games having taken five points off Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal in the last few weeks.
Having been fouled from behind by Diego Simeone, Beckham flicked out with his boot and was promptly sent off by referee Kim Milton Nielsen. That left England to play most of the second half and extra time with 10 men before they eventual lost on penalties. David Beckham won 115 caps for England between 1996-2009Shearer: "It wasn't a red card, David (Beckham) just flicked out with his heel. I wasn't far away and I could see what the Argentina players were trying to do.

Real Madrid have been on a rise lately, and they will be looking to continue on the same beat when they host Real Sociedad in La Liga this weekend. Real Madrid are second on the league standings, with 25 points and face a Real Sociedad side on 23 points, and in fifth place. Real Madrid had a somewhat shaky start to the season but have stabilized well lately.
Thun and Lugano will face each other in the upcoming match in the Super League. Thun this season have the following results: 2W, 3D and 9L. Meanwhile Lugano have 3W, 4D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Of course the Champions League is an aim but there are a lot of good teams and a lot of games to come," he said. I value playing more now - it is something I had lost, the feeling of being a footballer. After being off the pitch for two seasons I enjoy it a lot more. I have to be realistic and know there is not much time left in my career so I have to enjoy it while I can. I hope to be part of the squad for the Euros.

His latest clinical effort was his 10th in the league this term. Michael Owen's astonishing effort in 1997-98, when he scored 18, is the only time a teenager has done better since the Premier League was formed in 1992. The intricate close passing with Martial which created the shooting opportunity underlined that Greenwood is much more than a goalscorer. It felt like he was taking responsibility when other, more experienced, team-mates had not.

Harry will keep wearing the armband now. Marcus Rashford, David de Gea and Jesse Lingard have also captained the club this season in the absence of Young, who has made only 18 appearances in all competitions. Solskjaer 'not holding his breath' on Rashford fitnessMeanwhile, Solskjaer says he is "not holding his breath" about top scorer Rashford recovering from a back injury in time for Sunday's Premier League trip to leaders Liverpool.
Neil Lennon played a 3-5-2 formation during Celtic's 5-0 win over Hearts"The strikers, I think," said Lennon, when asked for the best characteristic in the change of approach. All of a sudden, you start building partnerships. If you've got three really strong centre halves, that gives you the three in midfield and if you have pace out wide - which we do - then you can utilise that as well. I thought that Greg Taylor had an outstanding game last night (a 5-0 win over Hearts).
They are joined by Switzerland, winners of their qualification group, and a Turkey side that earned a win and a draw against world champions France. Italy will play their three group games at Rome's Stadio Olimpico, with the other venue in the group being Baku's Olympic Stadium. Guaranteed to face at least one trip to Azerbaijan or Russia prior to the draw, Wales boss Ryan Giggs will be pleased with his side's travel plans which sees them play twice in Baku before a final group match in the Italian capital.
The Owls are going head to head with the Bluebirds, as Cardiff look to strengthen their playoff chances. The Welsh side are only five points shy of the top six as things stand. Cardiff are looking to improve some mixed away form, but will they be able to take three points back from this trip to Sheffield on Sunday?
It is not easy for a team with the expectation of Milan. Boban said that more time was needed, although fans may feel their team has been in transition for long enough already. We wanted to be competitive right away. But recreating Berlusconi's Milan in a year or two is impossible," he said. It's not going to be a good Christmas.

Oxford United will have been disappointed to draw a non-league side in the third round. Then again, Hartlepool would have hoped for more than an away tie at Oxford. This gives them a good chance to make the fourth round where hopefully a big tie will come along. Oxford can't really complain having just hosted Manchester City in the EFL Cup as well as West Ham United, who they beat 4-0. They are having a great season and could end up being promoted. Hartlepool have struggled since being relegated and although they beat Exeter in the last round, the tip here is for an Oxford home win.
Maritimo were a good side and played better football than we did but it wasn’t so much of a step up from the League of Ireland. We had a great time that I’ll never forget. That season - their debut campaign in the top flight - they finished fourth in the league, enough for another European campaign, only five points behind champions Shamrock Rovers. It wasn’t about winning leagues and cups and playing in Europe, just about making progress in the community,” said Buckley.

Fortuna does not have away victory in this season, but they play much better now and have a big chance to hit rival from Almelo on this one. Host is in deep down and hard crisis. They are having losing run and are among the worst rivals at the moment in the competition.

They had celebrated with gusto a week earlier after regaining the title; this time the party was low-key – mainly because they were so close to Barcelona, perhaps also because the win had been so undemanding. On the Sunday they went to Bisham Abbey, the England training complex, to begin preparations.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout on Monday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-2. AaB arrive as the form favourites and having won their last two meetings with OB, while the hosts are in the midst of a losing streak which has seen them slip behind AaB in the table.
Despite the training resumption the DFL made it clear last week it was not known if or when the season would resume, and the stop in play has also had major financial effects on clubs. Two weeks ago Borussia Dortmund, Bayern, RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen came together to create a 20 million euros ($21.
Lead by example as captain.

And there is the psychological aspect when you look at the standings. For context: Lazio have gone eight points clear on Inter having won two games while the team from Milan have not played. COMING UP It’s the slightly weird spectacle of having the FA Cup fifth round take place during the week, kicking off with Portsmouth v Arsenal in what some observers are calling the Kanu Clasico.
THURSDAY’S BIG STORIES All square in the Carabao Cup You know what that was, at the King Power Stadium last night? That was a pretty good cup tie. Villa, as is entirely understandable when playing away against a team 24 points ahead in the league, turned up to defend in numbers and see if they could burgle something.
Media playback is not supported on this device Chelsea 0-2 Manchester United: Chelsea's season starts now with fight for fourth - Lampard "Giroud will have a big say up front but they have plenty of other attacking options, although they are vulnerable defensively, they have got the right keeper in goal now - they should stick with Willy Caballero. Chelsea boss Lampard said last week that 'their season starts now' and the same applies to everyone else too.
They have seven wins in the 11 matches and they have failed to score in just one of the last 14 matches. Cagliari have been very prolific, in terms of scoring, and have scored 13 goals in the last five matches. Defensively, they will want to improve, having managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches.
Liverpool have some good youngsters, but none of those who'll feature on Tuesday have broken fully into the first team squad yet, which is reasonably telling. Consider this in conjunction with just how badly they defended in the last round and 'Aston Villa to Win & Over 3.5 Goals' stands out. Villa notched six against inferior opposition first time out in this competition, while they've scored five in two against useful Premier League sides since. Against Liverpool's youngsters, the hosts are backed to run riot.
There could be a legal battle ahead if there is a disagreement with BT and Sky. Paper Round’s view: These are valid concerns for the sides, but BT and Sky have huge economic pressures themselves. Really, this problem is so big, and it spreads across so many related and unrelated industries in this country and abroad, that government intervention everywhere will be needed to make sure life returns to normal without catastrophic financial damage.
This game is Wolves' 38th of the season after they started their campaign in the Europa League qualifiers in July and boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been pleased with how his squad have handled the extra workload. It's about the way they prepare themselves on a daily basis with the way they recover and compete, credit to all the players," he said. It's the most important game, the next one is always the most important.

The former Manchester United forward has now scored 16 league goals since moving to Italy last summer and has scored 20 for Inter in all competitions. He was helped by some poor goalkeeping by the hosts' Juan Musso for his first, then by on-loan United forward Alexis Sanchez for his second - with the Chilean winning the spot-kick from Musso. Antonio Conte's side had drawn their three previous league games 1-1 .
Only time will tell if winning the Champions League would end the indifference some City fans seem to have towards the competition, but I would love to find out. The most important question here is whether City can win it - and I definitely think they are ready. Of course there are other strong contenders, but that is why it is so difficult to win it and another reason why you have to give City credit for consistently reaching the latter stages.
The hosts have seemingly had their honeymoon period with new boss Michael O’Neill. The Potters have lost three games on the spin, a run of defeats which has left them second-bottom in the Championship. Having won their first two games under O’Neill, it seems like things are returning to reality for the hosts.
This result paired with their 4-0 drubbing of Nîmes last week has got the momentum back on Lyon's side and they'll be looking to take that into this clash with Rennes. They've now lost just one of their last four matches and sit within three points of third. Les Gones' home form has been a particularly contributive factor to their recent success as they've won three of their last five matches at the Groupama with their aforementioned draw with Leipzig thrown in there for good measure. Les Gones have scored nine goals and conceded five in that time.
Rugani, a fringe player for Juventus, took to social media to say he was fine. You've read the news, so I want to reassure everyone who's worried about me, I'm fine," he said on Twitter. I urge everyone to respect the rules, because this virus makes no distinction! Let's do it for ourselves, for our loved ones and for those around us.
Only young players is a team always with some naivety but on the other side, it's very exciting to work with a young team. The young player is normally also a player that, when they have quality and the right personality, don't feel the pressure. They have no fears, they go with an open mind, they go to meet the future.
Late on Wednesday, the World Athletics Indoor Championships, scheduled to take place in Nanjing in March, was postponed until 2021 over fears related to the coronavirus outbreak, the sport's governing body said. The governing bodies of several other sports, including skiing, badminton, tennis and basketball, have also been forced into rearranging events, weighing possible changes or monitoring the implications of the outbreak.
It gave us a structure to attack and control the build-up, to accelerate and to attack high. We have no regrets. I have to make decisions before the game and I take responsibility. Nobody can say what would have happened with a different system. The formation partly worked in the first half with PSG in control but as Dortmund gradually grew in confidence so did the visitors' problems in trying to contain them.
In the first match of the play-off stage, which also marked the return from the Covid-19 pandemic, Admira Wacker was only able to draw at home to Rheindorf Altach. Meanwhile, Mattersburg failed to march to the field of Austria Wien. With this achievement, Admira Wacker and Mattersburg are both falling in 2 of the 3 spots.
San Miguel vs. Flandria here, meeting of the Primera B Argentina soccer subway which is played tonight at 21:00. Favored guests for the victory of the match come from a 1-3 home defeat against Justo Jose de Urquiza while the hosts are coming from an external success for 1-2 against San Telmo. Flandria is the strongest team here but will play away and the San Miguel will want to give a minimum of continuity to the last victory so there are high chances that this match ends in a draw. The away team can clinch the victory here in this match
Wigan U23 will host Barnsley U23 for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. Both teams have highly variable results. Hosts probably will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, I do not think the hosts will have big advantage in this game. Also, Wigan U23 have a poor results. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Barnsley U23 who's is a very unpredictable team. In any case, I think, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Barnsley U23 to win.

The problem you have with Premier League referees is that they basically do not make decisions any more because of VAR, but we do not have VAR [in the Championship]. If it was at Norwich, the fact is both of them wouldn't have been goals. Having looked at them, they are not even close - it is half a body for each goal. The boys rallied in the second half, they were a lot of better and we created a few chances.

Whittingham remained a key player for the Bluebirds, and in the 2012-13 season his goals and assists helped them win promotion to the Premier League. Cardiff only lasted one season in the top flight but Whittingham continued to add to his one-man highlights reel of spectacular goals in the Championship. He was a first-team fixture until his final season, as then-manager Neil Warnock looked to change the team's style of play.
At times it looked like he was sprinting through a vat of syrup where once he would have danced free of the nearest defender to tap it home. In fact, Messi was overshadowed in the history books as well as the pitch as Vinicius nabbed his record for being the youngest ever goalscorer in a Clasico in the 21st century, at 19 years and 233 days.
