Rangers suffered a first home European defeat in 18 games as they lost to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie. Kai Havertz's first-half penalty - given after a VAR check for handball against George Edmundson - put the Germans in front and Charles Aranguiz crashed in a second. Edmundson gave Steven Gerrard's side hope when he headed in a James Tavernier cross, but Leon Bailey lifted in a stunning third to condemn Rangers to a third defeat in four matches.
Eurosport’s new series ‘The Debate’ saw four writers make a case for four different players before having their arguments picked apart in new vodcast ‘Game of Opinions’ (soon to be a podcast. On Monday, Ben Snowball made the case for Virgil van Dijk – claiming that "without him, none of Liverpool’s success would have been possible".
Norwich had no midweek action and we will expect them to come to this game well rested. However, they have not been at their best away from home this season and with just one away win in the league this season we won’t put much hope on them. They take on a side coming from an emphatic win at home and with three straight clean sheets. Wolves will for the third straight game be playing at home and having established a momentum, with draws against Leicester and Manchester United before beating Espanyol, they will be happy to host a side that has struggled a lot away from home. The hosts will also want to improve their home form, having managed one win in the last five. Seeing that Wolves have not lost to Norwich in the last three meetings, a win for them is expected here. Four of their last five meetings have produced over 2.5 goals and going by the two sides’ run of form ahead of this game, we are backing it to yield at least three goals.

They had earlier registered three straight wins and with a good scoring run. Koln had scored in each of their last 11 matches, key to making them one of the most improved sides in 2020. With five wins in their last eight matches, they will hope to pick up the momentum as Mainz visits. Their form at home had also taken a turn for the better, with five wins in six matches.
This season, Porto have played seven home matches in the league; they have won all and kept clean sheets too. They have scored two goals or more in six of the seven ho0me matches.

I always say the perfect preparation should be going out for the evening, having a few drinks, and then a boating trip. Off to a winning start Davie Hay crosses the ball in the opening victory for Scotland14 June, Dortmund. Scotland 2-0 ZaireWith world champions Brazil drawing 0-0 with Yugoslavia the previous day, Scotland's win over the inexperienced Africans - with goals from Jordan and Peter Lorimer - took them top of group two.
Thank you for the many messages you've been sending me these past few hours," he said in an Instagram message on Sunday. It was just a big scare, I'll be back on the field soon. Thank you to the medical staff for the support. Fiorentina said in a statement after the 0-0 draw that Castrovilli had "felt dizzy after receiving a blow during play that went unnoticed at the time" and had been taken to hospital for observation after being substituted in the 65th minute.
There is nothing new to say about any deals or players. When we have more info, we'll let you know. The players we want to bring in have to be players who are going to help us and make a difference in the squad. It's not for the sake of just bringing in players. Arsenal, 10th, have won only one Premier League game in six since Arteta took charge while four draws have seen the north London side fall further away from the top four but the Spaniard is positive his squad is slowly imbibing his philosophy.

All things considered, backing a home win looks the way to play here and is something we're happy to do with maximum confidence. As mentioned above, Swindon have won 5 straight home league matches and having conceded just once over said fixtures, we think they'll be able to keep another clean sheet in a 1-0 margin of victory in Saturday's match.
Zwolle have scored an average of 2.33 goals per game at home but have conceded an average of 2.67 goals while Fortuna Sittard have conceded an average of 3.67 goals per game away from home and 50% of the visitors away games have produced five or more goals this season, which is why we have backed a 3-2 final score in favour of the hosts.
Torino were hit with a tough run of form earlier in the season, but recent results have lifted the club. Their season started with ambitions of Europe, with the club losing out in the early stages of the Europa League. However, Il Toro are within seven points of the top six now after taking seven points from three games and winning three of their last five.
Leicester have the skill and chemistry to break teams down. What they have struggled with since returning is finding a cutting edge, creating the kind of clear chances that were put away frequently before the break. Palace won't accommodate a return to old ways. We see this being another potentially frustrating day for the Foxes. Back under 2.5 goals.

The draw extended Wanderer's run of games without a win to four, and though they travel to Manchester in less than ideal form, meeting a United team that Wolves have yet to lose to since their promotion should hold little fear.
Slutsk will host Neman Grodno for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the visitors are favorites in this match. Neman have better position in the table. They are currently on the 6th place with 20 points. Also, Neman have great results in the last matches. They have 4 victories in a row. However, this is a very unpredictable league. I think, the hosts will try to break the winning series their opponent. Slutsk is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 10th place with 18 points. Yeah, the hosts have a poor results. However, Slutsk were better team in the last mutual matches. My pick: Slutsk to win.

Raheem Sterling was "slightly wrong" in comparing the managerial roles afforded to former players of different races, says Chelsea boss Frank Lampard. Manchester City's Sterling called for more black managers in football while speaking about racism in the aftermath of the death of American George Floyd. He compared the jobs given to Lampard and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard with those of Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole.
Benitez would be a safe bet, someone who has a proven track record in the Premier League. However Benitez is also famously loyal and he hates the idea of breaking contracts, would those principles ring true if Arsenal come calling?

Krumkachy will host Gomel for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have great motivation to fight for all three points. I believe, Gomel are more ambitious team in this league. However, they have fallen into a very poor show at the start of the new season. They are currently bottom of the table. In any case, Gomel want to change their positions. I think, they will go in this game to victory. Also, we have Krumkachy who's is very average team in this league. However, the hosts have great results in this new season. They have two consecutive victories. Perhaps, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. True, this will not be an easy task. My pick - Gomel to win.

When Edouard was played in behind the Copenhagen defence inside the first minute, anyone who has watched him banging in the goals for fun this season was expecting the net to bulge. Only a fine save from Johnsson denied him. Within the first three minutes, the goalkeeper had already laid down solid credentials for a man-of-the-match award. Another fine block to deny the rampaging Edouard and a follow-up save to keep out the Frenchman's compatriot Olivier Ntcham thrust him into the thick of the action.
It's unbelievable how much they want to win. They made it a really special win," he said. Jurgen Klopp waves to Liverpool fans after his team's 2-1 win over BrightonSpeaking about Liverpool's 11-point advantage, Klopp added: "It's how it is. But if Leicester win tomorrow we are eight points. We don't think about these things.

“Lamia”, which will fight for survival in the league, will meet with a team that will play in the playoffs for the championship. “Aris” is a typical middle peasant in the Greek championship, but thanks to the new draw system, it can also dream of European competitions. But they are unlikely to get there, given the not too many quotas for them in Greece and the competition. For the remaining two rounds, “Aris” will be enough to score a couple of points to stay in the top six, so somewhere the remaining two matches will be cautious.

I gave everything to all of them, but they are my previous clubs. My club is Tottenham so it's so, so easy for me. Not difficult from the emotional side of things.

The decision was taken in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic to allow member associations, many of whom have been affected by the global outbreak, sufficient time to meet their internal processes and timelines," the AFC said in a statement. Saudi Arabia, who have won the continental title three times but never hosted the tournament, are the only nation to have publicly announced their intention to launch a bid for 2027.
However, on home soil that will be a tougher task than you might think as Fleetwood have managed to win seven of their nine league matches on home soil and have won each of their last three outings in front of their own fans. With a record like that, it perhaps should not be surprising to learn that they rank highly in the best home records in the division as their 22 points is the third best return on home soil in the division.

While the hosts could only take a draw back from Luton, they are heading into this clash in fifth place. The Cottagers are just nine points shy of the top two, so their automatic promotion ambitions remain alive. They have a strong home record backing them up, with three wins in their last four at home. That includes a headline victory over Leeds, another impressive result inspired by their top scorer.
Fulham have the second best record in English Championship in terms of their home record. Though these two are coming from different level one from English Premier league and another from Championship. Looking at the strength the look slightly the same.

The visitors showed that despite their lowly position in the table, they are capable of carving teams open by playing between the lines, and combining that with speedy breakaways. All that was missing was the finishing touch from their leading marksman. Having earlier seen a rising drive tipped over by Dubravka, Pukki was then set through one-on-one against Krul only for Federico Fernandez to clear his goal-bound effort.
Leeds are coming into this one on the back of a fine run, while that four-game winning streak has obviously made them the favourites for the points in this game. The hosts are aiming to keep their form rolling in their pursuit of West Brom, while they are expected to make short work of a side who have had quite the fall from grace over the last year and a bit.
The evident problem is that Sullivan and Gold, present for the game against Southampton along with Brady, have no intention of going anywhere. And trust, it seems, is in short supply on both sides of the argument. The owners not only feel they are being given little credit for record investment on the playing side, they also feel sore at their treatment given the club was massively in debt when they took control 10 years ago.
We go to VAR. NO GOAL! It is unlucky for Spurs as Lo Celso's well-placed finish from the edge of the box just clips the heel of Son on its way in, with the South Korean in an offside position. SAVE! What a save from Gunn! Alli threads a lovely pass through for Lucas, the Brazilian looks certain to score, fires for the bottom former, but Gunn sticks out a leg and just gets enough on it to divert the ball wide.
Given that they've generally been one of the top two or three sides in Serie A for several years now it's seems inconceivable that Napoli would be without a win in seven league matches, but that is exactly the position that Carlo Ancelotti's men find themselves in.
