After an exciting opening few months that involved several teams contending for the title, Bayern are threatening to pull away from the chasing pack. Sure, they only have a three-point lead over nearest rivals RB Leipzig but it's going to take something special to stop them from claiming yet another title with the way their playing.
We've got 6,000 season-ticket holders who are older than 60 so, as a club, we've set ourselves a task of trying to ring every single one of them. The players, staff and directors are all involved. I've done 56 so far. It keeps people occupied and brings about a community spirit. Boredom is a killer and we have to try to protect their mental health and keep the players active. I'm a little bit lucky because I live in the countryside and I can go for a walk and take my dog out and do things like that.
Espanyol carry to this game a poor run – they are winless in their last five matches. However, they have been among the best performing teams in Europa League. They have not lost in 11 Europa League games. They have nothing to lose in this game and it is expected that they will send out a weakened team. CSKA Moscow have nothing to gain from this clash but they will definitely want to finish on a high, having struggled a lot in Europe. They are unbeaten in seven away matches and we expect that effect to rub in here. With Espanyol expected to rest key men for their La Liga charge, we feel CSKA Moscow will have an upper hand here and thus we will go for a win for the Russians.
Dimitar Berbatov was often viewed as lazy during his time playing in England. What his critics didn’t know was that this was all a part of the striker’s plan. In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, the former Tottenham and Manchester United forward revealed that his languid playing style was in fact a ploy to lull defenders into a false sense of security. With 94 goals in 229 Premier League games, it would be fair to say that it often worked.
Neymar has always been a top level player and different to the rest. He is unpredictable, he takes players on and he scores lots of goals. On a sporting level Neymar is one of the best in the world and I'd love for him to come back. Neymar formed a mesmeric partnership with Messi and Luis Suarez for three seasons, including winning a remarkable treble in 2015.
Burnley won’t go down without a fight here in this match. Their 3-0 win over West Ham last time out leaves them in a respectable 10th place, although the battle for mid-table spots is incredibly close right now. A win here could see Burnley move as high as 5th in the table, while defeat could send them down to bottom quarter of the table.

We have a Match of Greek Top League where team AEK Athens will play at home with team Panionios. My bet will be here on guests with AH +1.5.

It was four years ago, but even so this is not a great look for him. I would not take the [Tottenham] job because I love Chelsea supporters too much.

I might have devoted a third of my life to the club, but I haven't devoted the same kind of finances as some of these people.

Another match for today and new duel where I will just try with goals, what is pretty real and ok to expect. So, both teams are poor in defense and both of them will be fight for survival this season in elite Dutch league. Zwolle is five matches in a row played with three or more goals and in the same time, in last two duels, they are lost 1-2 and 2-4. Fortuna Sittard, on the other side is team who is lost last four matches in a row. I believe in goals here and I will try that, it is real.
Back on her feet, Kerr saw a low, close-range effort from a tight angle kept out by a good save from replacement keeper Laws, before showing her class with a clever backheel into England's path for the equaliser. Kerr was sent flying by Reading goalkeeper Moloney, who was sent off for the challengeAfter the break, Kerr was played clean through by England and had time to slot past Laws, but could not beat the keeper - but, from the clearance, the ball was eventually expertly lobbed into the corner from range by Norway's Reiten.

It felt like a bit of a statement to me. Yes, everything has happened to make football feel different, but we will always have this song and no-one will ever stop us playing it.

My pick for this match between Altyn Asyr vs Ashgabat is draw or away team to win this match. Odd for this pick is 2.75. I think this match will end 2:2. Both teams are in very good shape. The away team enter the game after win first two games. For me we have both team have a good attaque and more home team and I see over 2.5 goals is good, but I think that odd for x2 is very good. In the last 5 direct matches 2 times was As data or draw and 3 time was Altyn won. Good luck

What might decide it is that Liverpool can go flat out for 120 minutes, and I am not sure their opponents will be able to do the same. Lawro's prediction: 1-0 after extra timeWho are Liverpool's Club World Cup opponents Flamengo?SUNDAY Watford v Man Utd (14:00)I was at Anfield last week and Watford really impressed me in Nigel Pearson's first game in charge. They created a lot of chances - proper chances too.
A message that this is far from over. A message that the clubs - rather than the governing body - should set the rules in future. Much remains uncertain. There is no guarantee City will be granted a suspension of their ban when they apply for it in the coming days at the same time as any appeal. The decision - made by a Cas official - will be based on an assessment of the merits of City's appeal, so this initial decision will give a strong indication of their prospects.
Second-placed Inter Milan were held to a third successive 1-1 draw after Radja Nainggolan, a player they loaned to Cagliari for this season, scored a second-half equaliser for the Sardinian side in their Serie A match on Sunday.

Al Ahly are the most successful in Africa but at the world stage they have struggled a bit. They have just four wins in their 13 matches at this competition. Bayern, on the other hand, are making just their second appearance here and have one title. The Germans do not have a run as good as Al Ahly’s but have far better quality players. By their recent form, back Bayern to dominate, and a half time/full time lead for them.
They were incredibly aggressive up front. They are a team with a lot of courage but after the red card it was different. Even then they tried to play. Motivation was right. After 2-0, we missed a little bit some of the movements because they defended well and high. Hopefully in the next game against United, our fans can come and make the stadium full.

I sat in the jacuzzi in the dressing room with [former Arsenal goalkeeper] Wojciech Szczesny and remember him saying to me 'we just beat Barcelona'. This was the team we grew up in digs watching - with [Lionel] Messi, David Villa, Pedro, Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta - and we deserved to beat them as well. It was an unreal feeling. Despite losing the first leg, Barcelona would go on to beat Arsenal and win the 2010-11 Champions League with victory over Manchester United at Wembley in the final"After the game, we didn't play that weekend, I remember Wojciech saying: 'We just beat Barcelona.
The final piece in the puzzle? Tottenham will move above Chelsea, and into fourth place, if they beat the Blues when they host them next SundayOverall, I think Mourinho's arrival has been really positive, and credit needs to go to Spurs chairman Daniel Levy for acting when he did. I cannot think of anyone else connected to the club who would have made the decision then to look Mauricio Pochettino in the eye, and say 'this is the end', but Levy did.
