Hoffenheim had European aims midway through the first half of the season but a woeful run of form has curbed those ambitions. Their 1-1 draw away to Paderborn at the weekend was their seventh successive Bundesliga fixture without a victory. While it was a much better showing than their previous outing - a 3-0 loss at home to Hertha Berlin - silly mistakes continue to derail efforts to find form.

How these competitions will intertwine remains something for the governing bodies to wrestle with, as is the future of this season’s club competitions. By postponing Euro 2020, this summer could be used to complete domestic campaigns and UEFA club competitions, with league bosses determined to bring their seasons to a conclusion.
If City win the Champions League this season, Guardiola could go anyway. Now it is impossible to imagine him staying and, amid persistent rumours of interest from Juventus and the almost certain knowledge any number of alternative challenges will present themselves, Guardiola's City future would seem to hinge on whether the club are successful in their appeal. What about the players? Sergio Aguero became Manchester City's all-time highest goal-scorer in November 2017We already know veteran midfielder David Silva will be leaving at the end of the season.

Middlesbrough have won by a single goal in each of their last three home matches, while each of their home successes this season has seen them edge it by a one-goal margin. Boro are fresh from a 2-1 win over Stoke, while Huddersfield have found the back of the net in each of their last 12 away league games since a 0-5 defeat to Liverpool in April. They last had a longer such scoring streak in August 2011 (15 games). With that form in mind, a 2-1 home win is our tip for this clash.
Bale remains committed to Real Madrid, says Courtois Gareth Bale is still committed to life at Real Madrid despite a failure to repair his deteriorating relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane, according to Thibaut Courtois. Bale celebrated Wales' qualification for Euro 2020 by posing for cameras behind a flag that read 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' - a reference to the player's alleged lack of interest in playing for the club and preference for the gold course over the Bernabeu.

While City celebrated their win, Sheffield had another low to contend with as they suffered their 14th loss in the Championship, falling 3-1 at home to Derby County. It was their third loss in five matches and left the team winless in seven of their last eight matches. Sheffield’s only win in their last eight matches came against struggling Charlton.
Padideh Khorasan will host Sepahan for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very tense match for both sides. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this league. Of course, both teams want to get a positive result. In my opinion, the hosts have better chance on the home field. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. No doubt, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, it should be said, Sepahan are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Visitors have the motivation to remain unbeaten, but this will not be an easy task. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
Uefa criticised the Belgian championship, in my view justifiably, for declaring the season suspended. In Germany we all agree: the 36 clubs have decided to end the season, even if it should be after 30 June for political or health reasons. National leagues have priority over the cups, this was decided by Uefa.

Posted at 61' Liam Cooper (Leeds United) wins a free kick in the defensive half. DOHA, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp hailed his team's Club World Cup victory over Flamengo as a "wonderful night" and said the European champions had again shown the power of their self-belief. An extra-time goal from Roberto Firmino proved decisive after Flamengo had proven to be a match for Klopp's Premier League leaders for large parts of the game.
They will be allowed a slip up against Rangers, but not in the eight cup finals coming their way. Worrying trend for BuddiesSt Mirren manager Jim Goodwin will prefer to look on their hammering at Celtic Park in isolation. The Premiership leaders can fire five goals past most teams in the Scottish top-flight on their day. However, the longer-term trend will no doubt also have caught his attention. In the last 11 games, they have only beaten one side - Motherwell, in the Scottish Cup and league - and have failed to score in their latest three outings.
OK, so Manchester City have been under-par this season - but Kevin de Bruyne certainly hasn't. He's enjoying a spectacular year having bounced back from a duo of nasty knee injuries last season. There can really be no genuine dispute that he is the most creative player in Europe. He's leading the assist table in the Premier League with 16, from 23 clear-cut chances created - which is more than even Lionel Messi, who's made 22 goalscoring opportunities.

However, we don't expect the Blues to keep a clean sheet at Goodison Park. Despite their overall woes, Everton have at least held on to some of their goal-scoring threat, and the Toffees registered at least once in all but two of their last nine league fixtures.
We've been based at Leigh Sports Village now for two years. Even since then we have improved it in terms of gym spaces, grass pitches for training and general facilities. I think we've got one of the best pitches in the league," she added.

In the same study, the proportion for 1996 was 16%. Fewer people had mobile phones than didn't. Take a minute. Lie down if you need to. For those breathing the rarefied air of cellular phone ownership, the choice du jour was not an Apple, or a Samsung, but one of these - a Motorola StarTAC, the first ever flip phone. Flip phones were great because, every time you got a call, you could whip it open with a little flourish that really helped underline just how important you were.
But the Tangerines were left frustrated when, rather than opening talks with the League One club, Wellens chose to sign a new deal with Swindon instead. Blackpool didn't have much luck trying to lure Karl Robinson from Oxford United, either. However, while their search for a new gaffer has yet to reach a happy conclusion, their search for wins has been far more successful.

The motivation and the attitude will be right so we're hoping to get to the final. Paul Pogba's Manchester United comeback is set to be delayed after he missed two days' training because of illness. The France midfielder was expected to return to training this week after recovering from the ankle injury that has kept him out since September. Defender Diogo Dalot could make his first appearance for United since the 1-0 defeat by Newcastle in the Premier League in October.
He also needs his team to rediscover the slick passing game and dominance of midfield that has been their hallmark but has been sorely missing in recent weeks. Injuries are part of the process at this time of year especially and Liverpool suffered a blow with their key holding midfielder Fabinho picking up an ankle injury against Napoli.

Games between Leicester and West Ham have been close in recent years. We see this game being no different. Leicester were denied several times at the weekend by top quality goalkeeping. Better finishing may kill off West Ham. But we see Moyes setting his team up to not lose (as opposed to setting it up to win) and we see that setup working. Back West Ham double chance.
The party went long into the night. The only odd bit was the atmosphere at Anfield. The Liverpool fans didn't want United to win the title, they wanted Blackburn to win, for the obvious reasons of Kenny Dalglish was Blackburn's manager and everything he means to Liverpool. They wanted us to win it, that was strange. You could sense even the players wanted us to win it. We lost the game but straight away we realised the title was ours.
There's so much that needs to be improved within sport in terms of diversity and equality and acceptance. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme, he added: "I definitely wouldn't urge anyone to do it, in all honesty, and the reason I say that is because I think it needs to be on your own time. As one of the first few trailblazers in that kind of industry, you're going have to go through a lot of fire.
Espanyol have failed to keep any clean sheets at home whilst Osasuna have scored in four of their seven away, so the visitors are more than likely to register at some stage during game. Similarly though, Osasuna have conceded in five of their seven away this term, so Espanyol should be able to find the net for the third consecutive league game at home to ensure they claim their second point at RCDE Stadium this term.
Ultimately, it couldn't be any more apparent who the favourites to win Wednesday's game are and that's the hosts. There's a reason 19 points already separate the two in the standings and Northampton will have the fixture penned in as a must win game as they fight for promotion to League 1.
Of course we have to understand the fans' frustration and how they were disappointed," he said. Their support is really important for us but when they feel they don't like what they are seeing of course some react in one way. But you are here to respect and to try to get the best from ourselves to give them good feelings at the end. Everton face a tough run of games, starting with a visit to second-placed Leicester City on Sunday before they take on Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Leicester again in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, and Arsenal before Christmas.
If he stays fit, if he stays in the Premier League, if he has success where he's at. If he doesn't win anything in the next 12 months I think he'll move on.

They could not have hoped for a greater reward. It is a gift that football has given us. Deserved because the merit belongs to everyone, to the players, to the club, and it is something that, above all, we have to enjoy - you have to enjoy it very, very much," boss Alfaro said following the draw. We are going to give an image that Ibiza is alive in winter, not only in summer," added Alfaro, who played alongside new Barcelona manager Quique Setien at Racing Santander from 1993-1996.
Having gone through different experiences throughout my life and in my career - people telling me I was not good enough or not big enough or not fast enough or whatever it may be for Sunderland, Liverpool, England - I've always had questions marks.
