Seven had been played without a win before beating bottom-of-the-table Luton Town last weekend. Only one of their last five away league games have been won so unless that improves, it's going to be a tense end to the season. Their last three away league games have produced two draws and a loss at Cardiff City.
Fortuna Dusseldorf will be at home to take on Paderborn in the 26th round of matches in the Bundesliga this Friday, with the two sides battling to avoid relegation. Fortuna head to the game on 22 points, in 16th place while Paderborn have 16 points and are placed bottom of the standings. Ahead of the faceoff, Fortuna have managed just one win in the last five matches; they have two losses in the run, one of them through post match penalties.
Jurgen Klopp's men weren't quite at their scintillating best in a 2-1 win over Mexicans Monterrey in midweek but they got the job done in order to continue their excellent form. Indeed, ignoring their much publicised defeat to Aston Villa in midweek with a group of youngsters, the side are now unbeaten in an impressive 20 games; of which they've won 17.

He was buzzing. We've given him a game against Chelsea away to look forward to. With Klopp likely to recall at least some of his senior players for the fifth-round tie against Chelsea, there's every chance Milner will be in action at Stamford Bridge thanks to the efforts of the youngest line-up in Liverpool's history.

Paper Round's view: Jack Grealish is most definitely going to be in demand this summer. It's widely expected that the Villa captain will be called up to the England senior squad for the March international friendlies and he could even play a part in this summer's European Championships if his current form continues.
While they are far from out of the woods, the visitors enjoyed a pretty strong festive period and have put some distance between themselves and the relegation spot. However, things have taken a turn for the worst once more as they come into this match having lost four of their last five league matches. When you factor in their pretty ordinary record on the road, it could prove to be a long afternoon despite the relatively short trip.
I think that's done well for him throughout his career. You can see that with how his team's playing now. One of the main things that he used to say to us in the changing room was that he could put his dog on the pitch and it would work hard. He wanted that quality as well on top. Tactically he was very good at mixing it up. We'd play different ways in different games. Even though he had a preferred way of playing he'd change that if it wasn't working.
Marseille came from behind to earn crucial 2-1 win over Lille in their last game and with PSG stuttering lately, they will be hoping to take advantage, especially in home games like this one. Marseille are unbeaten in 12 home matches, winning nine. They have five clean sheets in their last six matches and in their last 14 Ligue 1 matches, they have won 11.
However, it is thought a five-year contract and a transfer fee of about £20m are in place that will allow 17-year-old Bellingham to move to Germany. Bellingham has been one of the most sought-after young players in Europe this summer. Manchester United were keen to sign him and even offered him a tour of their training ground and an introduction to Sir Alex Ferguson. However, Dortmund felt they had an equally persuasive argument given their development of young players, notably Jadon Sancho, who they have turned into an England international after his arrival from Manchester City at a similar age.
Here are some of the takeaways…1. Meeting Crouchy at Serge from Kasabian's weddingIt doesn't really get any more lad rock than that, does it?View more on twitterApparently the two hit it off there - and why wouldn't they?Dyche says he got to know Serge after Crouch did, so he didn't get an invite to the day do. I was like the hanger-on," he says. Giving a team talk to Danny DyerIf you're still reeling from the image of Dyche and Crouch hanging out at a wedding, let us now introduce another character to that scene - Daniel Dyer.
Silkeborg promoted from the 2nd league level at the end of last season and finished the normal season on bottom place in the league with only 16 points won by them with very few wins overall for them all season long and were totally dominated in both fixtures they had already in the league against OB losing early in the season with no less than 3-0 at home to this opponent a game in which they had just 2 shots on target while their opponents made it more than 20 shots in the game, not all on target of course but scored 3 goals.
Then at Manchester United he picked young midfielder Scott McTominay, who had only played 204 minutes in the Premier League all season, above £89m signing Paul Pogba for a Champions League knockout game against Sevilla in February 2018. In hindsight that was one of his better decisions at United, with the 22-year-old now one of their most consistent players. That said, it is probably best not to mention him picking McTominay at centre-back the following season in a 3-1 defeat at West Ham.
Then after Olympiacos equalised to put themselves on the cusp of the last 16, Auba missed a gilt-edged sitter meaning Olympiacos went through on away goals after a 2-1 win at the Emirates. He is excellent but not elite. He has, for some seasons, courted a move to Real Madrid; for some seasons that move has not been forthcoming.

Praise of Grealish must not be misconstrued as criticism of Maddison, who could have scored twice in the first half only to be thwarted by Villa goalkeeper Orland Nyland's heroics. He could have been the Foxes' hero and on his way to Wembley had it not been for the brilliance of the 29-year-old Norwegian. Grealish, however, had the most significant influence overall. He drags this Villa team with him as a creator and also the player they look to as their pressure release valve, such is his strength in possession.

Gimhae City is more of a team than Cheonan City. But in Cup games things often go weird way. Gimhae has good record. The team has won 4 times in the last 5 times. The team recorded a 90 minute draw in the previous round to Kyotong and won in the extra time. In last game they won 3-0 at Yangju. Cheonan City has a pretty much good record recently. The team won 3 of the last 6 games played and drew 3 of them. The team recorded a 2-2 draw in the last game to Gimpo City. As it is a cup tie, things will be tight in the both end. therefore, draw is my guess.
The Blades took the lead inside eight minutes through Callum Robinson but it took until the hour mark for them to get a second through Leon Clarke. Jordan Williams pulled a goal back for the Coasters with a clever lob over the head of Dean Henderson, who had replaced the injured Michael Verrips. QPR thrashed Swansea 5-1 with Jordan Hugill scoring two first-half goals for the hosts.
Robinson, who started his career at Liverpool, joined Forest in 2018 and went on to make 59 appearances for the club. The 26-year-old has played as a left back for the majority of his career but can also operate in a left-sided centre back position. He becomes United's second signing of the January transfer window after Jack Rodwell joined on a short-term loan deal.
lille host second placed Marseille in this fixture of the top teams in the ligue 1 setting. Olympique come as the better team with a string of 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 fixtures as compared to lille s 3 wins and 2 losses in the last five matches. These two teams both have the capability to grab maximum points today and with a capability of major scores. The prediction of who walks away with all three points is tricky but what is certain about this game is that at least one goal is to be scored without fail

A few miles across town, David Beckham's Inter Miami are set to play their first MLS game on 1 March. The more the merrier, as far as Dalglish is concerned as he swats away suggestions of Beckham stealing his thunder. There's isn't really any overlap, we're offering a totally different product," he adds. There's absolutely not any grudges. I'm going to go to the Inter Miami games with my son - I can't wait.
Two years! The first year it was won by Ada Hegerberg - undeniably a deserving champion. But she picked up her trophy and was asked to twerk. The only good thing about the whole sorry episode was the look of horror on Kylian Mbappe's face as he watched the whole debacle unfold. What's more interesting about Hegerberg is her refusal to play international football due to her feeling that female players are not respected enough by Norway's powers-that-be.
Lionel Messi looks set to win his seventh La Liga golden boot after scoring twice in Barcelona's win over Alaves on the final day. The Barca captain is on 25 goals, four clear of Karim Benzena, whose Real Madrid face Leganes at 20:00 BST. The game was not of importance as Real clinched the La Liga title on Thursday. Messi rounded the keeper to make it 2-0 and swept in a fifth - with teenager Ansu Fati, Luis Suarez and Nelson Semedo scoring the other goals.

It's absolutely incredible, congrats to the other nominees. I can't believe I'm the one winning in this field, it's been an incredible year. I want to thank my team-mates and the US federation. Media playback is not supported on this device 'If every player isn't outraged by racism, they are part of the problem' Rapinoe has had a memorable 2019, becoming a global star for her performances during the World Cup but also for her willingness to use the spotlight to speak out on causes such as LGBTQ+ rights and equal pay.
It's not that Racing are a side that continually gets battered, they've lost only two of their last six and have drawn six of their last ten, but they seemingly find it impossible to get their noses in front. Their lack of wins is mainly down to a lack of forward power. Racing have failed to score in three of their last five, as well as in 41% of their games overall this term. When they have turned up in the final third, they've been let down at the back, winning just two of the games where they've scored more than once.
Kevin Gameiro put Valencia ahead on the hour mark with a thumping strike in off the post from outside the area while captain Dani Parejo made sure of victory in the 89th minute by firing home from inside the area. Loren Moron pulled a goal back for Betis in added time but Valencia still recorded a therapeutic victory after last week's 3-0 thrashing at Real Sociedad which had followed a 4-1 hiding in the Champions League to Atalanta.
Minsk is not such a big favorite here for the win, as it is showed by the prices on their victory. Although Rukh is new in the competition, they showed big power and certain quality in the begin. Beating some rivals with the high scores, they are among the top teams at the moment, and will wait for Minsk in this one, in order to make another well performance.
Southend either play in very high scoring matches or very low scoring matches and this could be a low scoring one. They have seen a couple of recent matches where only 1 goal was scored, because of their high scoring matches they tend to defend well after a high scoring match. This could mean only the one goal will be scored in this match by the home team due the Southend team not scoring much recently and really having trouble getting the ball into the box at times. It looks good with the odds for this to be another low scoring one
Ferguson frequently recounted he did not pick the 'Class of 92' because they were developed at United. He did so because they were good enough. Debate about whether United are committed to a director of football, as stressed so often by those inside Old Trafford, continues. But beyond question is that United believing in empowerment for the manager. This may not amount to control over as many aspects of the club as Ferguson had but, United feel, their boss should be in charge.
I think that's why he never returned to Sweden. In London it's much easier to be yourself and it doesn't matter what you're into or where you come from. Pre-Zlatan it was still very unusual to have outspoken and slightly unique characters within football. The truth is we don't really know much about Fredrik's style as a manager. What we do know is that he's done a brilliant job with the youngsters and is likely to continue on that path.
Video - Manchester United plan huge January spending spree. Haaland is just the start - Euro Papers01:27 Paper Round’s view: There always seems to be talk of a United clearout that never comes to fruition. Matic and Rojo are not the only deadweight within the squad, but you wonder whether the club’s hierarchy are wondering whether it should indeed be Ole Gunnar Solskjaer who oversees a mega overhaul in the summer.
