The player left out - Former Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock Around 750,000 people turned out to see Liverpool parade the Champions League trophy around the city in 2005, but not all of their players made the busWhen I hear it described as being one of Liverpool's greatest ever nights, it leaves a very sour taste. It still hurts now, actually - the way it was handled was absolutely shocking. I was in the original squad when the team sheet up was put up at the training ground a few days before the game, and I was absolutely ecstatic.
Leverkusen's finishing problems are evident in their lack of a high goalscorer. Leverkusen's top Bundesliga goalscorer this season is currently Kevin Volland, who has scored just five goals this season. They seem like a team in need of a top centre-forward. We feel that this could hurt them again in this game.

It's an uphill battle now, but we have been written off time and time again this season and come back," he added. Fulham are now huge favourites, but they have everything to lose and we have everything to gain. There was a 2-0 deficit in the League Two play-offs. That does not mean it will happen for us but ultimately we need to be positive. The second leg takes place at Craven Cottage on Thursday, while Swansea City take a 1-0 lead to Brentford in the other semi-final on Wednesday.
Going to this game, Kasimpasa are placed 10th on 40 points while Basaksehir have 69 points at the top of the standings. The highest Kasimpasa can rise is ninth, should they win and ninth placed Gaziantep FK loses away to relegation threatened Yeni Malatyaspor. Kasimpasa had a very poor run at some point in the season, registering just one win in 12 league matches but they have really improved in recent matches, winning seven of the last 11 and losing just one.
Viitorul did not place in the group for the title and Europe, in this season, and that was one of the biggest drop of the squad, since they have been promoted to the top league. It is big question, if team would have motivation to play in the relegation group, since they have already enough points and should not be in danger.
Yet Shrewsbury were excellent throughout and were rewarded with two goals in the space of 10 minutes by former Hibernian player Cummings. Some Shrews fans booed when Callum Lang was replaced by Cummings but his confident penalty - after Josh Laurent was fouled by Yasser Larouci - gave his side a lifeline before the same player tucked home the equaliser. Liverpool sent on Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in search of a winner but Shrewsbury hung on to earn a deserved replay.
Instead, the review will be broad and not limited to the already well-rehearsed arguments about "daylight", referring to a clear gap between the attacker and the last defender, and "leeway". In the past there have been radical experiments such as a 35-yard line limit for offside -- rather than the halfway line -- in the old North American Soccer League (NASL).
Whilst their overall away record of one win, two draws and four defeats this season leaves plenty to be desired, Los Verdiblancos have picked up four points in their last two travelling assignments against Real Madrid (0-0) and Mallorca (1-2) and rate as cracking value here to beat an Espanyol side who have been hapless in their own back yard.
Special ones?It is harder to nail down iconic starting XIs the more recent you look, with managers increasingly rotating their sides to cope with the demands of the modern game. Jose Mourinho had the luxury of a large, expensively assembled and talented squad at his disposal during his first spell at Chelsea, but this is the XI that probably springs to mind, particularly from that 95-point season in 2004-05.
What are the biggest January deals ever?The two biggest January transfers ever happened in 2018 and both involved Liverpool. They sold Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for a fee which could yet rise to £142m and spent £75m on Southampton centre-back Virgil van Dijk. The next biggest January signings by English clubs have been Chelsea's £58m recruitment of Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic last year - although he stayed with Dortmund on loan - and Manchester City buying Athletic Bilbao defender Aymeric Laporte for £57m in 2018.
I can see them going to Bramall Lane, being competitive, and leaving with the points. That is going to delight the legions of Blades fans who have pointed out to me where Sheffield United are in my league table (bottom of page) compared to reality. When I tip them to lose it usually means they will win - but I am going to get one right one day. Lawro's prediction: 0-1Richard's prediction: It is Christmas after all so I am not going to use this as an opportunity to have a little dig at the Blades, although a lot of my Wednesday-supporting mates will probably say 'why didn't you just slate them?'"I am going to get loads of stick from my Wednesday mates here but, for the city's sake, I hope they win this one.
It was just a personal choice. I do regret leaving England so soon. I went back to United and my football changed. I had been a player who was expected to score goals all the time for England, which I was judged on. Sir Alex Ferguson saw that he wanted me to play well into my 30s and I needed a different position. I moved back and controlled games from midfield, sitting deep, and I was never that player for England.
French Ligue 1 club Montpellier have expressed an interest in signing Liverpool keeper Loris Karius. The 27-year-old German terminated a loan spell at Besiktas in May when he was nearing the end of a two-year loan stint with the Turkish side. If Karius had joined Besiktas on a permanent basis, then the deal would have been worth about £6m to the Reds. Montpellier have yet to make a bid for the player, who joined Liverpool for £4.

Al Feiha will host Al Ittihad for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Both teams are currently bottom in the table. Yeah, the visitors have fallen into a very poor show. They have a poor results. They have 4 losses in their last 5 matches. However, I believe, Al Ittihad is better team than their opponent. The visitors have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. Also, we have Al Feiha who's is one of the outsiders in this league. True, the hosts have better results in the last matches. In any case, they have less potential. I think, Al Ittihad have a real chance to break the poor series.
It's their longest ever unbeaten run against a specific opponent in the competition. Silva is the first Everton manager to concede five league goals against Liverpool in a single match since Howard Kendall in November 1982 (5-0 against Bob Paisley's Liverpool). Since the start of last season, Trent Alexander-Arnold has provided more Premier League assists than any other player (18), with 15 of those coming in 2019.

The eye-watering sums explain why so much work is going into plans to complete all the competitions - and start next season's, including the logistical difficulty of organising 203 two-legged qualifying ties involving all 55 Uefa nations, to be completed before the middle of October. Despite speculation to the contrary, BBC Sport understands that for sporting, political and financial reasons, Uefa is committed to retaining the inclusivity of its competitions and would only cut access as a last resort.

The statue honouring Sweden's record goalscorer was only unveiled in Malmo in October, a beaming Ibrahimovic proclaiming to the sizeable crowd in attendance that it was dedicated to "everyone out there who doesn't feel welcome". The striker was referring to difficulties he faced as an extrovert growing up in then homogenous Sweden - little did he know the statue itself would soon become persona non grata.

Energetic vs Kopetdag Asgabat and this game looking at it in a very good way we have given this two teams an under of 2.5 total goals as the past games this two teams have meet with other opponents the home team have scored an over of 2.5 in only 1 game and also the away team in only 1 game in the last 7 games and so this has bring us into a conclusion that this two teams are not a very good scoring teams and giving this game an under of 2.5 total goals is a very sure prediction
The league leaders are four points clear of Trabzonspor with three games left to play. Konyaspor, battling desperately against relegation, are in 16th, the final relegation place, only one point away from safety. Istanbul have performed brilliantly since returning to action, winning four of their five Super Lig matches.
On the other hand, Genclerbirligi's play is not good. The home team took 31 points with 12th place in the rankings. They won 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 latest losses. In total, the home team brought 7 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses from the beginning of the season so far. With their current performance, they had to set their sights high on this battle. Home advantage is what they need to promote.

This is a football game from the Premier League and we have Man City playing host to Leicester City. In this match I will try with over 3.5 goals. This match is extremely important for both teams and I expect a good game with lots of goals. For Leicester City they need the win to continue their pursuit of Liverpool while for Man City they have the chance to go 2nd with a win.
Leah Galton As our picks reflect, it was certainly a good day to have an eye for a goal as the top teams found the net with unwavering consistency. Leah Galton, as she has been all season, was impressive and a consistent threat in Manchester United's win over Brighton. The 25-year-old winger set up Lauren James for United's first goal before then driving home the second and adding a personal double when she tucked in Kirsty Hanson's cross.
The game, at the old Gay Meadow, got postponed twice - first because of snow, then a waterlogged pitch - and did not get played until fifth-round weekend, when Liverpool enjoyed a 4-0 Sunday stroll. But, just four days earlier, Liverpool had suffered the loss of Anfield great Bob Paisley - who was one of the most successful managers English football has ever known, winning six league titles and three European Cups in nine years as Liverpool boss.

Tottenham have drifted to a place where sneaking past a second-tier side over 180 minutes is acceptable, where coming close to nabbing a point off the Premier League leaders is a cause for optimism. Has everyone forgotten what happened seven months ago? Mourinho isn’t responsible for Eric Dier’s self-destruction, Harry Kane’s latest spring sabbatical or Paulo Gazzaniga’s incapacity to save anything outside a four-inch radius.
It was very close," Olaroiu told The National newspaper in Dubai, where Jiangsu are preparing for the new Chinese Super League season. The club agreed with his agent, his agent was there. We agreed with Madrid and in the last month - I don't know what happened there, they lose some friendly games by a big score - Madrid changed their mind.
It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens. It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.
Manchester City have won their last three home fixtures vs Burnley by an aggregate score of 14-1. Burnley are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League matches. Manchester City have lost two of their last four Premier League games. Manchester City prepares for their crucial Champions League clash with Real Madrid by taking on Burnley at the Etihad in the Premier League this Saturday.
Steven Gerrard says he needs "proper people that are prepared to win" at Rangers and that his squad will not be "giving anything up". The Ibrox manager does not regret criticising his players' "mentality" after Tuesday's loss to Kilmarnock left Rangers 10 points behind Celtic. Rangers have a game in hand over the Scottish Premiership leaders. Am I allowed to criticise my players? Is that not my job? So what's the problem?" Gerrard said.
After a huge defeat in first leg, 4-1, it is really hard to believe that Salzburg can do anything to harm Eintracht Frankfurt, despite the fact that they will play on their ground. Visitors are an experience club, and with a three goals advantage, they are in a really good opportunity to reach 1/8 stage of Europa League. Once again, Andre Silva will be in attack, of course behind him will be Kamada, he scored hat trick in first leg, Filip Kostic, who also was a scorer in first leg. Frankfurt will be without experienced midfielder Mijat Gacinovic, but even without him, Eintracht Frankfurt should not have problems to win in this duel.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out the next season," Siewert says. It's different in pre-season when you're not under pressure. I really felt it would take time with this team. After a winless start to the Championship season, the final straw proved to be a 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat at home by League One's Lincoln City. Siewert was criticised for fielding an inexperienced side containing seven debutants.
The Mourinho effect Frank Lampard's Derby County team knocked Jose Mourinho's Man Utd side out of the Carabao Cup last seasonSunday's match sees Lampard face Mourinho - who managed him during two spells in charge of Chelsea - for the first time in the Premier League. The pair previously enjoyed a profitable manager/player relationship, collecting two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two EFL Cup winners medals together.
Saprissa is on first place on the table and best road team in the league so obviously they are favorites for the win here and for me there is no doubts that they will score a goal in this match tonight but one goal is most probably not going to be enough because Santos is very good offensive team with bad defense and their results before the break were 1-3 6-2 and 3-4 so for me it is very realistic both teams will score a goal here and despite the odd is not so high I surely recommend this bet
Taylor completed this symbolic moment, knowing it did not mean his journey was over. Two weeks after my last treatment I went for another scan. In terms of nerves, it was worse than any game. I was with my mum and we were both shaking. The doctor said the cancer was cleared but I still needed an operation because my lymph nodes were swollen after the chemotherapy and one had attached itself to the main blood vessel.
Media playback is not supported on this device 5,000-1 or 'Aguerooo' - MOTDx pick their moment of the decade In any case, Manchester City will surely be ready for that approach this time, and I am expecting them to win. If that happens, that is the end of Leicester's title hopes, and it would take the heat off Liverpool ahead of their trip to King Power Stadium on 26 December. I think the leaders would also be happy if this game ended in a draw - only a Foxes win would give the Reds some cause for concern.
Assisted by Enda Stevens. Their 22nd successive top-flight win at home, breaking the English record set by Bill Shankly's side in 1972, was sealed by goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane after Callum Wilson had given Bournemouth a shock lead. It restored their 25-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table, and three more wins are all that are now required to rubber-stamp Liverpool's first title for 30 years.
More to follow. Mainz boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga and capped a miserable week for Borussia Dortmund with a surprise victory. Two goals, one either side of half-time, gave the visitors their win, with Jonathan Burkardt scoring the first before a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty. The win moves Mainz five points above 16th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf with just two games left to play.

But you look to the goals and they are not a consequence of any superiority. The first goal is a short corner with a big mistake. We know how to defend short corners, we train how to deal with short corners. The players involved were not focused. Mourinho admitted VAR was correct to award Chelsea their penalty despite referee Anthony Taylor not giving it but said Son's red card, also awarded via VAR, was harsh.
