You don't get many top strikers who are known for being unselfish but Benzema is one of them. He is a real team player. The Frenchman played a huge part in Ronaldo's success at the Bernabeu, giving him more assists in La Liga than any other Real Madrid player. His goalscoring record also stands up to scrutiny. Yes there have been lean times but he scored 30 goals last season in all competitions, a number he only bettered in his second season at Real Madrid.
Many communities could lose the clubs at their heart with little chance of resurrection. In the face of this unprecedented adversity, all the stakeholders within the game from players, fans, clubs, owners and administrators need to step up and share the pain to keep the game alive," he said. The Premier League and the Football League divisions have not played for a month due to the virus and a nationwide lockdown, and Clarke said a plan needed to be put in place if the disruption continues into next season.
Hamilton faces their second game of the season against an Old Firm side. The South Lanarkshire outfit held their ground well earlier on in the season and lost 1-0 to Celtic at home and we believe that Rice's side could put out a similar line-up for this game. Rangers have been in fine form and their away record backs that up, with 50% of their away days seeing over 2.5 goals and the Gers netting an average of 2.33 per away day.
Two goals in as many minutes just before halftime laid the platform as third-placed Salzburg moved on to seven points in Group E, three behind leaders Liverpool and needing to beat Juergen Klopp’s team in Austria on Dec. Salzburg, who lost 4-3 to Liverpool earlier in the group stage, would need only a low-scoring single-goal victory to finish ahead of Liverpool.

Arsenal 2-0 Chelsea Media playback is not supported on this device Relive Parlour's stunning FA Cup final goal in 2002 4 May 2002Arsenal returned to Cardiff 12 months later as league leaders so were hoping to win their second double in five seasons. A disappointing final burst into life with 20 minutes remaining as Ray Parlour curled in a beauty from 25 yards. Ljungberg then topped that with 10 minutes left, picking the ball up in his own half and beating John Terry for pace before curling it inside the far post.
Rumours that Mourinho is set to formally adopt Ndombele, in order to get him into his household and so torment him further, have been made up just then by the Warm-Up. Sorry. But in the spirit of taking the positives, at least nobody’s ever going to question Tanguy Nomdbele’s commitment again. Training through injury is one thing.
Zero: Jose Mourinho "I think this ball is beach ball. It’s too light. I don’t think it helps the players. But that’s not an excuse. We missed this absolute honker of an excu…sorry, not an excuse from Jose Mourinho after Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday. Presumably it’s the lightness of the ball that has prevented Spurs from keeping a clean sheet in all but one of their games under Mourinho.
Cagliari have scored in every away game and two or more on four occasions. Juventus have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 3 of 8 home games. Six of Juventus 8 home games have featured over 2.5 goals with a 3.4 goals per game average. After a fortnight off, Maurizio Sarri and his Juventus side are back in action in Serie A after a 3-1 Supercoppa Italia defeat to Lazio and they will host Cagliari with the intention of keeping pace at the top of the table alongside Inter Milan whom they are locked on 42 points with.
Approximate odds: 250-1Kalidou Koulibaly Club: Napoli Nation: SenegalAge: 28 Honours 2019: NoneContinually linked with a mega-money move to the top end of the Premier League, the dominant centre-half has been superb again - and was particularly excellent in Napoli's win over Liverpool in September.

Last week was a good example of why they should be worried. They have now lost to Spurs twice this season and feel as if they are hard done by because they have given them a good game each time, but they have conceded three goals in each of those matches. That has to change, but Villa have the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City next week and their manager Dean Smith can motivate his players by telling them that they are playing for a place at Wembley.
I want to say that in the last few weeks and months we've been speaking to other coaches about the future, that's our obligation," Bartomeu said. The work had been done and so this was the right time to make a change. Barca sporting director Eric Abidal said new coach Setien fit with the club's ideas on attacking football.

Chelsea have won three consecutive games against Spurs across all competitions for the first time since January 2008. Willian’s penalty was Chelsea’s 100th Premier League goal against Spurs – in the competition's history, only Man Utd v Everton (101), Liverpool v Newcastle (101) and Arsenal v Everton (107) have scored more goals against a single opponent.
Yokary lig is going on today as Altyn Asyr fc is hosting Ahal fc, these rivals have last lock their horns in 2018 where they meet two times and both these games ended with under 2.5 goals so here I think this can happen again.
Odds are quite high on the over line and I say this because mainly of the guests who played 7 out of 8 away games in the league alone with over 2.5 goals and have the most goals average scored in their away games this season at 4.4 goals per away game at this moment sometimes winning big like a 6-0 win away at Antalyaspor sometimes losing really big like at Fenerbahce where they lost 5-2 also a recent 4-1 loss away at Besiktas.
Perez scored a hat-trick in that win, and got one against the Saints for Newcastle back in April as well. No player has ever scored three or more goals in three consecutive games against an opponent, with Luis Suarez against Norwich the only player to score three hat-tricks against a side in the competition. However, if you're feeling brave and want to try and make up some ground on the rest of the teams in your league, perhaps you could chuck in a Saints defender or two.
Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa admitted he had sent the person and the club formally apologised, with Derby boss Frank Lampard calling the episode "unethical". As the fall-out from the saga rumbled on, Bielsa called an impromptu news conference at the club's training ground. Journalists headed out unsure whether the famously headstrong Argentine was about to announce his resignation. Instead, the former Chile and Athletic Bilbao boss told the gathered press that he had sent a member of staff to watch ALL of the club's opponents that season train - but because of the amount of analysis he and his assistant did, the practice was basically pointless.
Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson has 'no objection' to Anfield gamesDefeat by Watford just before the league was suspended means Liverpool cannot match Arsenal's 2003-04 record of winning the league unbeaten. But Jurgen Klopp's side can comfortably surpass Manchester City's record points tally of 100 from 2017-18. The Reds can reach 109 if they win all their remaining games. Their league record is phenomenal," McManaman said.
Arsenal can’t afford to dally, to pussyfoot around or give Freddie Ljungberg a chance. He may be a favourite with Arsenal fans as a player but to manage Arsenal you need a bit more about you and a bit more experience. There are good managers out there. Go after somebody. Be proactive. Welcome to a new week It's Monday morning but there's still one instalment of the weekend's Premier League action, a huge London derby at the London Stadium as beleaguered Arsenal take on beleaguered West Ham.

Marseille's away form has been what's brought on some of les Olympiens' slightly more laboured performances but they have still been very impressive with two wins and a draw in their last three games on the road. The south of France club usually do alright in this competition with them only failing to get past the ninth round (the first round that Ligue 1 teams appear) in one of the last seven years.
Chris Wilder's Sheffield United have wowed the Premier League on their return to the English top flight this season. The Blades sit eighth and are still in the hunt for a Europa League spot. With two games to go, they have already surpassed their best Premier League points total and are on course for their best top-flight league finish for 45 years. But how do Wilder's outfit compare to previous newly promoted high-flyers in the competition?Win their final two fixtures, at home against Everton on Monday and at Southampton on Sunday, and Sheffield United will finish on an impressive 60 points.

Gaziantep was having a solid season but was unable to win in 4 games (0-2-2) before the break, but still remained ninth in the table. Ankaragücü are still relegation threatened, the team is only number two in the end with 9 points less, but went to break with a win. In the first leg, Gaziantep won 2:1, again I count on goals from both sides. Here I anticipate a balanced game with the guests who should avoid defeat. The hosts have 7 points more than the opponents but have not won for a long time and could continue to not win.
However, I now feel as though I am being harassed. This is no longer solely affecting me, but affecting the health of my family and my young children too. He added: "At a time when the focus is understandably on Covid-19, at what point does mental health get taken into consideration?"I am a human being, with feelings of pain and upset like everybody else. Being in the public eye does not make you immune to this.
At the end of the first leg of the Danish league, both Horsens and Esbjerg both finished in the second half of the final table and fell into the relegation playoff group. In the first match, both of them had conflicting performances.
Reaction from Emirates Stadium as Watford are relegatedAston Villa survive in dramatic finale at West HamBournemouth's five-year top-flight stay over despite win at EvertonChaotic season costs HornetsWith Bournemouth beating Everton and Aston Villa drawing at West Ham, a point would not have been enough to save the Hornets because of their inferior goal difference. Many of their players looked upset when Mike Dean signalled the end of the match - and Watford's place in England's top flight.
Everton also face their local rivals and European champions Liverpool in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, and the Italian is confident he can continue his strong start at the club having taken over from Marco Silva this month. Video - Ancelotti: Calvert-Lewin 'can be one of the top strikers in Europe'00:29 "I was surprised with the spirit of the team.
Utd want Niguez to replace Pogba Manchester United are growing increasingly confident of signing Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid. The Daily Star report that Niguez would become United’s club-record signing at £135m and would replace Paul Pogba, who looks set to leave, with Real Madrid the most likely destination.
Middlesbrough players were crestfallen after conceding a 91st-minute winnerAmid their relief and elation there was some concern for the hosts as their first goalscorer Kane had to be withdrawn on 28 minutes with a suspected muscle problem, having levelled with his expert free-kick. Boro had edged possession and arguably had the better of the few chances in the game, but their run of two straight away wins was brought to an end.

BK Frem and Brabrand will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2nd Division in Denmark. BK Frem this season have the following results: 6W, 7D and 4L. Meanwhile Brabrand have 8W, 5D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
For me, it's a clear goal," said Howe. I think it's come off Phil's shoulder, and without that I don't think VAR get involved in [Wilson's] goal. I've always been clear on VAR. I like the offside decisions as it's black and white, right and wrong. But I've always maintained the referee should make the final decision on the pitch.
Another very interesting friendly match for today and this one will be play in Northern Balkans, or in Slovenia. Nafta and Beltinci are two small teams who are not so good in quality and they are have in last few seasons main goal and that is goal to play in elite league in this country, what will not be easy to do. Nafta is few years ago played in elite one season but this one, they are again, like today's rival, also in second division. I see here very relaxing match, with plenty of chances and goals, that is real.
