The basement boys looking for an escape A few weeks ago, few would have given Espanyol, Mallorca or Leganes any hope of escaping the La Liga relegation zone.

We sat down this time two years ago in Moscow for the World Cup. How does it feel now, before your second major tournament in the job?We're better prepared as a whole staff for what lies ahead, the realisation that what got us to this point won't be enough to be successful in the summer.

January is coming, and with it the transfer window. Frank Lampard, having returned to Chelsea promising sweet lemonade from transfer ban lemons, has the opportunity to spend and, perhaps, the motive.

The Strongest made a big game compared to Atletico Tucuman in the first leg of the second round of Copa Libertadores this season. The Bolivian team controlled the ball to 61%, launched 21 shots, hit an 8 goal and were rewarded with a 2-0 victory after 90 minutes of competition at home. However, despite a 2-0 lead, The Strongest is still not confident in the ability to continue in the Copa Libertadores South America this season. In other words, Atletico Tucuman promises to turn the tide in the coming second leg. The Strongest always plays very well at home. However, on trips they often lose themselves.
Brighton's chief executive, technical director and head coach have all taken a pay cut for the next three months. Former England captain Gary Lineker predicts that many Premier League players will now follow suit.

Ndombele's creativity and mobility were sorely missing at times, particularly during the first period, when Tottenham struggled to build any real pressure on the Brighton goal. But they recovered in the second period, when Harry Kane and Dele Alli scored to wipe out Adam Webster's opener for the visitors. Tottenham were 12 points off a top-four position when Mourinho took charge of his first game. But five wins from seven league matches means a favourable result at bottom side Norwich on Saturday would see Spurs move above Chelsea into fourth - with the Blues scheduled to play at Arsenal on Sunday.

Chelsea had a late free-kick that Willian was going to take, which he passed into the corner, and the relief when he did that was unbelievable. It was pride, joy and pure ecstasy. I can't describe it. I celebrated with my family, who I wanted to be with, because they had been with me through the whole journey. A lot of the lads were at Jamie Vardy's house so when we were done at home I drove to Jamie's and we got on it from there.
They drew 0-0 but had enough chances to win it. Saints still have the worst home record in the Premier League this season, with 11 points from 12 games, but they have actually picked up a lot recently after taking only one point from their first six matches at St Mary's. Plus Southampton striker Danny Ings is still in a purple patch, and you have to fancy him to score against the Clarets, who are one of his former teams.
This was a strong, strong, strong performance. So mature and so clear in all things," Klopp added. We try with all we have. There will be moments especially between the games where we have to switch the machine off and then switch it on again and be there.

Sheffield United are faring slightly better, four points ahead in eighth place, but are slipping down the table after picking up one point from the last nine available.
He is working tirelessly," said Toffees physio Adam Newall. Sometimes I have to rein him in a bit. With the surgery he had, the idea is to slowly increase the flexibility in the muscle and progressively ramp up its strength. The intention is to have a three-week period of reintegration [when Gbamin will train outdoors following the players' return to Finch Farm], then we expect him to start joining the squad for training sessions.
RETRO CORNER Twelve years ago today, Arsenal went to Anfield to play a League Cup quarter-final. They conceded three, which might have been a problem, had they not scored six of their own.

Chris Coleman, a friend of Speed's, took on the project and, although he struggled initially, he knew he had one of Wales' finest generations of players at his disposal. With Ben Davies, Joe Allen, Aaron Ramsey and others by Bale's side, Wales now had the strength in depth to allow their talisman to shine brighter. In qualifying for Euro 2016, Bale scored seven and assisted two of Wales' 11 goals. Three of those were winning goals, as time and again he proved his country's saviour.
Dijon's away form has been even worse with them picking up just four of a possible 27 points on the road. Each of their last five away trips have ended in defeat with no goals scored in the process so it could be a tetchy affair as they travel to Amiens. The Mustards could slump to 18th if they lose and results go against them here which should be a good motivator but they have shown extremely little quality in recent games to suggest that they can win this match on the road.

England 3-2 Finland, European Championship - 2005 This was emotional for me.
