The players responded with an excellent display and that system could be deployed again on Wednesday. Zidane has said he likes to regularly vary the formation to make it more difficult for opponents to prepare to play against them, and we can't rule out a surprise selection from either manager. It would be even more surprising, though, if the names of De Jong and Valverde do not feature in the starting XIs.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 55 Premier League matches at Anfield (W45 D10) – only Chelsea between 2004-2008 (86 games) have had a longer unbeaten run at home in Premier League history.

This bank holiday weekend was supposed to bring the FA Cup and Championship play-off finals - arguably the most renowned and richest games in club football. Instead there is a void. While those at the top of the football food chain may be able to ride out the financial effects of the coronavirus pandemic, clubs and players down the English Football League and below are preparing for seismic changes to both the sport and the livelihoods of those who rely on it.
The pandemonium spills over on to the pitch, photographers encroach the penalty area and surround Kindvall. Celtic's players pick themselves up and desperately search their minds for ideas of how to rescue a replay. None were forthcoming. In a matter of a few seconds, referee Concetto lo Bello blows the final whistle, confirming Feyenoord as European Cup winners for the first time - and Celtic as European Cup final losers for the first time.
Currently, the home team CA Claypole is ranked 9th in the rankings with 4 points. The home team has just gone through 4 matches and earned 1 win and 1 draw and 2 losses. The latest victory over Argentina Rosario has been greatly strengthened after 3 games without victory. In terms of home ground, CA Claypole still performed quite well with only 1 loss, 1 draw left and 4 wins in the last 6 rounds. However, in this match, CA Claypole will have to welcome uncomfortable opponent, Deportivo Paraguayo. The home team predicted it would be very difficult to win.
Deulofeu did not score his first goal this season until 2 November against Chelsea, but he is now Watford's joint top scorer, finding the bottom corner with a composed finish for his fourth of the campaign. The Spanish winger also set up Doucoure, whose shot took a deflection off Conor Coady and sailed into the top corner.
David de Gea made a handful of smart stops, but the goals, and another thumping derby win, were coming. And then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tweaked United’s shape a little, and all of sudden everything clammed up. Moves broke down. Passes missed their man and went rolling sadly into touch. The crowd shifted and muttered.
The Brewers have won each of their last two at home, scoring seven goals in the process. Such form bodes well ahead of a home game against League Two opposition. In general, Burton have been tough to beat at home this term, though they struggled for a while to score goals. Now that they've seemingly solved that problem, Nigel Clough's men will likely go from being tough to face to extremely tough to face at Pirelli Stadium. Not only have they scored seven in their last two at this venue, but they've also fired off 42 shots, 15 of which hit the target.
EDINSON CAVANI (forward, 32, Paris St-Germain)Linked with: ChelseaFrank Lampard has accused his Chelsea team of "causing their own problems" with their lack of cutting edge. Could Edinson Cavani fit the bill?Uruguay international Cavani has been pushed down the pecking order at Parc des Princes behind new arrival Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and - when he is fit - Neymar. Cavani has scored just three goals this season, his contract is up in June and he could be available at a decent price in January, although they could face stiff competition from Atletico Madrid.
Speaking at UEFA's 500 Days to Go launch event, where it was announced that Manchester United's Old Trafford will host the tournament's curtain raiser on 7 July 2021, Nobbs said: "Football comes with injuries and you just have to take the good with the bad. Ten months I was out with a knee injury and now I'm playing every single week, so it'll definitely come thick and fast I just hope that we keep going in the right direction.
It was not that long ago that the two were both competing at the right end of the table. When Brendan Rodgers' Reds narrowly missed out on the title in 2013-14, Roberto Martinez's Blues were finishing fifth and qualifying for Europe themselves. But since then, there has only been one moment at which Everton's points total over a rolling 38-game period has been greater than Liverpool's.
The club have also confirmed they will not use the Government's Job Retention Scheme during that three-month period.

Obviously I knew best. Hence this tweet in the 62nd minute. Mahrez - who will now no doubt score - has been really poor today. Odd selection by Guardiola. Literally as fingers were lifted from the keyboard, Mahrez tricked a Brighton defender before unleashing a right-foot rising drive that tore past Brighton keeper Mat Ryan from 20 yards. In this moment the title was won and even the flimsy safety net of suggesting Mahrez might score was no protection from the scorn.
Given the recent efforts of both, it would be a surprise if either side won this by anything other than a slender margin. However, given that there's been little between the pair, the visitors deserve slightly more respect in the early betting. Punters should side with 'Shrewsbury +1 Handicap' Shrewsbury have avoided defeat in seven of their last nine, conceding only two goals in those seven. Such a record is particularly impressive when we consider that the Shrews have faced sides such as Oxford and Rotherham during that time. At the end of the day, this is a fixture that could go either way, but given that Fleetwood haven't been prolific in terms of wins of late and haven't scored many goals, the visitors, who're no strangers to avoiding defeat on the road, look a good bet to either win or draw.

No idea how that’s going to work, but best of luck to all involved. IN OTHER NEWS Can you even imagine a midfield of Nemanja Matic and Eric Dier? 20 foot of shambling, gristly meat, coming in late around your ankles. Bring your son to work day at the Bureau of Knackered Assassins. Probably not actually very good, on balance, but certainly very on brand.

Luckily for Liverpool, they meet a Napoli side in the midst of a dreadful run of form this week. The Partenopei are without a win in six games, and even though they finished level in five of those contests, things have been looking and feeling decidedly flat for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
City immediately signalled their intention to appeal to Cas. They believe the CFCB was not independent and ended up being distrustful of it, partly due to the amount of secretive information the club felt was leaked to the media. They are adamant that what they consider an independent judiciary will clear them.

Spurs said the fact they repeated the announcement created a "misconception" that the issue was ongoing in their stadium. The club added: "In respect of protocols - when the incident was conveyed to the referee Anthony Taylor, he took the decision to call for the implementation of Stage 1 of the Uefa protocol - rather than the Premier League protocol - and asked for an announcement to be made, as well as requesting a further announcement which created a misconception that any issue was ongoing.
Ashley returned to St James' Park for the first time this season before talks with boss Steve Bruce about transfer targets during the January window. Newcastle went ahead through Eoghan O'Connell's own goal. Matty Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton also found the net before Jordan Williams' consolation.
Rüdiger is the first defender to score a brace for Chelsea in the Premier League since John Terry against Fulham in April 2013; both of his goals that day were also headed.

Gylfi Sigurdsson hit the side-netting from a free kick and striker Cenk Tosun could not get any direction on a sharp low cross by Tom Davies as the home side dictated proceedings. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford produced a superb reflex save to deny Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from close range shortly after the break before an almighty goalmouth scramble nearly resulted in an own goal at the other end.

Chelsea really struggled to step it up, despite Mount’s positive impact, with the visitors going close again through Redmond, before Ings replaced Obafemi with just over 20 minutes remaining. Redmond finally made his mark on 73 minutes, capping off a lovely Southampton passing move by dinking the ball over the onrushing Kepa to edge the game away from the Blues.
However, the former Southampton player's spell has also been interrupted by a series of injuries, and it is 30-year-old Henderson - who Liverpool signed in 2011 - he credits for helping him get through tough moments. Having been with Jordan throughout the whole journey, I've been lucky enough to be alongside him when he had his dark moments - and he's also been alongside me in my dark moments, injuries," Lallana told the Liverpool club website.
