And BBC Radio 5 Live's European football experts discuss how they see each Premier League team's prospects. Who are favourites to win it?Last year's Champions League winners Liverpool might be running away with the league, but their 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid two weeks ago them leaves perilously close to going out. As Liverpool have a tough task on their hands to reach this season's Champions League quarter-finals, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Barcelona are the three big favourites to reach the final," says Simon Gleave, head of sports analysis at Gracenote.
I only see here one even and though match where one goal can decide the winner. Both teams are going to have a tough fight to avoid relegation and I expect to get into the match with precautions for sure. They are both in mixed form so cannot be trusted. This is a very important match for both of them as this is a direct match between two rivals to avoid relegation so due to that I don't think that we are going to see some interesting match for sure. I think both teams and coaches will settle in for a draw here today.
Savage, formerly of Leicester, Blackburn and Derby, has signed for the semi-professional side from the 10th tier of English football eight years after playing his last professional game. The 45-year-old has links to Stockport's owners Pro Football Academy. It's not a PR stunt, it's me trying to help youngsters progress in the game," Savage told the BBC after signing for the North West Counties Football League (NWCFL) First Division South side.
The Spaniard almost snatched a goal for the visitors but Jaume Domenech made a good save to keep out his header. We understand in the world of football when you're on a bad run, doubts appear, questions appear, when you win three or four in a row it all disappears," said Llorente. Simeone, who insists this is a transition season for his team, was pleased with the draw.

Another match from Dutch Cup for tonight and new duel where I will just bet on goals and enjoy in duel. So, Heerenveen is team who is every season is playing with the same style and that is mean very offensive. This team is in this moment in poor form, because they are not beat any rival in any competition from 17. December. In all duels from that moment, they are played with goals on both sides. If we know that Feyenoord is playing on same level, than it is all clear - this match will bring many goals and I will try that.

The hosts are among the worst sides in the league defensively, shipping 47 goals in total. Only Luton have conceded more than QPR this season in the Championship, while the hosts have slipped to fourth-bottom in the home table after a string of tough results here. They’ve now lost more than they’ve won or drawn at home, but will Cardiff add to that run?
Certainly better than Julien Faubert. He was a regular for West Ham at right-back without setting the world alight when Real Madrid signed him on January deadline day in 2009. He would make only two substitute appearances for Real - and go viral for appearing to sleep on the bench, although he said he was just resting his eyes. Faubert would spend another three years at West Ham - including in the Championship - before playing for clubs in Turkey, France, Scotland, Finland and Indonesia.
Away from home, things have not been quite as simple as Shrewsbury have only managed to win two of their nine away league matches. It is easy to see where their issues can be found too as they struggle to find the back of the net on a consistent basis when on their travels and they have failed to score in their last three away league matches.
But with Gareth Bale set for another transfer window of uncertainty, a goal threat who can play wide is needed. In addition, Luka Jovic, Marco Asensio and Isco could all depart in the summer, and with finances tight due to coronavirus, a reliable and cheap(ish) replacement makes sense. Barcelona Barcelona could need to replace three strikers this summer, given their particular situation.

We shall continue to reinforce this message. World Athletics postpones Olympic qualifying With Tokyo 2020 pushed back a year until 2021, World Athletics has announced that the window for qualification for the Games has been pushed back. It will now start on December 1 and run until May. During this period, results achieved at any competition will not be considered for Tokyo 2020 entry standards or world rankings," the governing body said in a statement.
He keeps a level ground. Twice in 2019-20, Burnley have lost three games in a row, but Sean Dyche's team have responded with successive victories each timeDyche himself continues to preach the mantra he offered upon joining Burnley in October 2012, that they must foster a "one-club mentality" that ensures all members - from the chairman, through the board, manager, players and fans - pull in the same direction.
Manchester United’s last away match was that stunning 2-1 victory over Manchester City, but that belies their overall record on the road. In fact, that was one of only two wins away from home since February in the Premier League. They have drawn four and lost six of the remaining 10 outings since then, including failures to beat the likes of Everton, Huddersfield, Southampton, West Ham, Newcastle and Bournemouth.
This victory, coming off the back of a terrific comeback 3-2 win at Watford, moves Everton to within five points of Chelsea, who look far from certainties for the final Champions League place. It has been quite the ride under the Italian, with Calvert-Lewin - who now has six goals in eight games - and Barcelona-target Richarlison in particular shining under his management.
So it proved as Andy Rinomhota equalised with a volley to force extra-time, during which Murphy pounced on an error by Royals centre-back Gabriel Osho to restore Cardiff's lead. Then with five minutes left of extra time, Yakou Meite scored his third goal in three matches against Cardiff to take the game to a penalty shootout. Aden Flint and Will Vaulks missed the Bluebirds' first two spot-kicks, giving Sone Aluko the opportunity to score Reading's fourth and seal a 4-1 shootout victory.
The heroes will be the men and women who continue working tirelessly in our hospitals and medical centres to look after our friends and families. They won't receive the individual acclaim, but we all know their importance is beyond anything we do on the pitch. When we play again as an England team, it will be at a time when not only our country but the rest of the world as well is on the road to recovery.
Hearts have slipped four points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership after a crushing 1-0 defeat at relegation rivals St Mirren. Daniel Stendel's side could have moved above their hosts with a win, but produced a meek performance in Paisley. Jonathan Obika's strike early in the second period was enough to separate the sides and move St Mirren up to ninth place and six points clear. It was a first defeat in five for Hearts, who rarely looked like scoring.

For the first time, we have agreed a united policy in respect of Fifa's proposals," said Mel Stein, life president of the Association of Football Agents. We will be writing to them jointly to advise them that once there is a formal, consultative process in place where all parties can bring their proposals to the table, we will be eager to meet with them. As far as we are concerned, it sends a clean, positive message to Fifa on where we are on this.

They are important in this side. They are not the icing on the cake; they are probably a quarter of the team at the moment. Manchester United aren’t buying anyone… no, wait, they are…. It would seem like a howling scream in the face of all logic that even Ed Woodward, even this crack sponsorship negotiator who looks like Ian Hislop’s younger brother who thinks he’s smarter than he is but who has somehow been in charge of buying players for one of the biggest clubs in the world, would take a look at this Manchester United squad and think “Nope, that looks all set, there really is absolutely nobody out there who can improve this lot.
Both of these sides are likely to miss out on postseason. The Wizards still have an outside chance but their opponents are probably just counting down the days to the end of the regular season. Golden State have had a terrible start to the new year and the Wizards can get the home win here.
As always, one of the selections has to be a game he did not play in - but perhaps unsurprisingly it features a dramatic late United winner. Watch Neville's Match of Their Day hereMan Utd 2-0 Arsenal Juan Sebastian Veron scored seven league goals for United and one of those came in this gameDecember 2002Champions Arsenal went to Old Trafford having done the double over Manchester United the season before, but left empty handed on this occasion as a rare Red Devils combination of Juan Sebastian Veron and Paul Scholes were on the scoresheet.
I feel connection with ‘To Dare Is To Do’. Tomorrow is a time to give everything. We win or we leave everything we have on that pitch. Tottenham’s motto is usually just something that you see on their badge or is read out in a sonorous voice over the PA before their games, but apparently Jose is going to use it as some sort of rallying cry as they try to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
