Genoa, Italy's oldest professional club, were stuck at the bottom of the table when Nicola was appointed as their third coach of the season at the end of December but, after going unbeaten in their last four games and winning the last two, they are now close to climbing out of the relegation zone. On Sunday, they host a Lazio side who have emerged as unlikely Serie A title contenders after an unbeaten streak of 19 league games which have included 15 wins.

But even if we don't win we'll still have a good chance," said Celades, whose side travel to Ajax in their final group game. But we will go out to win the game first of all and then see what happens next. We are a big club and we have to have that type of mentality. Match statsHead-to-headValencia have won just one of their seven Champions League matches against Chelsea (W1, D3, L3), winning 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on matchday one of this season's competition.
Chelsea played a lot of good football. We've done well but our football has to get better. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, speaking to BBC Sport:"We dominated the game in terms of possession, but make mistakes and teams will hurt you. I'm not happy with any of the goals. You don't get given victories for scoring two goals, you have to be better than that. There were moments they counter-attacked, which we knew they would.

The ploy was undone by Firmino's goal, leaving Spurs with no option but to be more positive in the second period. It was then, without the marksmanship of long-term injury victim Kane, that they were so wasteful in front of goal with both Son and Lo Celso missing when it seemed easier to score. Lo Celso's miss, in particular, left Mourinho lamenting his side's absence of a clinical edge as he collapsed dramatically to his knees after the Argentina midfielder failed to hit the target from close range.
Lots of bravery and personality. They were outstanding," Keane told Sky Sports. I don't think beating Tottenham was a big deal at home, but that win (over City) will give the players a lot of confidence as they have been criticised - nobody likes to be criticised. I really enjoyed watching them, it's what United is all about.
Olympiacos and Wolves battled to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of this round of 16 Europa League, in a match played behind closed doors due to the escalating coronavirus crisis. See alsoOlympiacos v Wolves - LIVE Europa League updates Both teams were initially subdued given the circumstances, though the game tilted in Wolves’ favour after 29 minutes when Ruben Semedo brought down the breaking Diogo Jota just outside the Olympiacos area and received a straight red card.
Consequently, Mallorca almost have to be treat as two different teams at the moment depending on whether they are playing home or away, and that means we're readily opposing them to get anything from this week's contest.
He has not given the impression that he is mentally prepared for the elite level in football. He must demand much more of himself. His mentality has always been a question mark since he was young (see Guidetti vs Kurzawa). I think he never reached his potential because of that and I’m not sure he will change at 27.
Municipal Jalapa have had recent successes against Real Esteli, including a 2-0 win at the Estadio Independencia last November. But it's very hard to ignore the more emphatic scorelines in that head-to-head record. That double-figured win and the strength of Real Esteli at home sway us to back the home side.
Sheffield United will against Brighton Hove Albion in match England Premier League. Sheffield United have better result on last 3 match in league due to Sheffield United have won in 2 match and 1 match is lose. Meanwhile, Brighton have also better result on last 3 match in league due to Brighton have draw in 2 match and 1 match is lose. Nevertheless, my prediction that Sheffield United can defeat Brighton Hove Albion due to Sheffield United in every home match always strong and very difficult to beaten. Moreover Sheffield United have great defense and surely Sheffield United have more chance to win on this match.
This is really disappointing," said Spaniard Arteta, 37. I took the test after feeling poorly. I will be at work as soon as I'm allowed. Arsenal say they expect a "significant number of people" will self-isolate, including the "full first-team squad". The club were due to face Brighton in the Premier League at Amex Stadium on Saturday (15:00 GMT) but Brighton released a statement shortly after confirmation of Arteta's positive test, announcing that the game had been called off.
Motson and Davies are another reason why those England games are so fondly remembered by millions of people, not just the ones who were lucky enough to be at Wembley to see them. But while their commentaries are part of the memory of that summer for everyone who was watching on TV, they were all new to me. Even the videos we were shown after the matches to go through things did not have a commentary on them so I had never heard them until earlier this year.

Bate is going to face Torpedo Belaz. After one of the weakest starts in history, Bate started to pick points. They won at home against Ruh Brest 1;0 and then they won on away against Fk Minsk. Bate will win this match and I don't think that it will be only 1:0. They should show that they are a much better team and they will go for the final trophy. Torpedo lost the previous match on away against Dinamo Minsk 0:2 and I think that we will see at least two goals for Bate here. My bet is 2:0 for Bate
We’re confident that Torino will win on Thursday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The hosts might not have the best of home records this season but they are up against a Genoa side that are still searching for their first away win and a team they have beaten in their last four encounters. Torino might not be enjoying their best season domestically but they have outperformed Genoa in all departments so far and we expect that trend to continue on Thursday which will see the home side progress through to the next round of the Coppa Italia.
The match was tough, it opens your eyes somewhat. The last Premier League performance (a 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur) was very good. In the bigger picture it was a lesson for the players. They were better than us. It was a reality check for all of us. I thought we could perform better, but we are in fourth and we have to fight until the end.

Kane thought he had equalised late in the second half, but he was adjudged to be offside. The England captain then limped off, seemingly with a hamstring injury. We see the bad result today which is the continuity of the last year," Mourinho said. For 12 months, it has been very difficult to get results away from home.
In all respects, direct, indirect, statistical... this game should end in a goalless draw, or with a score of one to one. For some reason, I am absolutely sure of this. Well, look. The coefficient supposedly on the favorite does not allow him to believe in his victory at home. This is not a convincing victory ratio. We go further. The average total that is given for the game is equal to two goals. Which is also suitable for a draw game. Move on. The manner of the game, their location in the table, the statistics of the results and, in general, their effectiveness only attach my confidence in the chosen bet. If nothing extraordinary happens, then no one will escape

This will be one of the most interesting duels in this round in Bundesliga and I will just here bet on goals, and enjoy in fantastic match. Leverkusen is pretty good this season and this team is have goal to play in Champions League, again, next season. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund is have even better team and they are hope that they can attack even the title in this country. What will happen, we will see, but I in any case believe here in at least four goals. Dortmund is in meantime lost in Cup against Werder 3-2.
Sarabia was filmed ranting at players during the Clasico at the weekend, and it has become a talking point in Spain. Spanish newspaper Marca says that while those higher up at the club aren’t worried over his actions, they don’t want them to take place where fans and the press can see them. Eder SarabiaEurosport Paper Round’s view: Given the fragile nature of the club, and the relationship between the players and executives, you can understand both reactions.
Jose Mourinho is eager to keep his star player, though, and Spurs would drive a hard bargain. Paper Round’s view: If Tottenham continue to fail to win trophies, then Kane should certainly leave. There is no virtue in being a talisman for an underachieving side and, given Kane's pedigree in front of goal, then a move to a more successful team makes perfect sense - he could earn more, win more trophies and have a better career in every sense.
Six points separate bottom club Norwich City from West Ham who are in 16th spot, two places above the drop zone. Likewise, nothing is yet decided in the second-tier Championship's promotion race. So what if the league cannot be finished?" Brady says. As games in both the Premier League and Football League are affected, the only fair and reasonable thing to do is declare the whole season null and void.

The visitors drew first blood when Ashley Young fired home his first Inter goal on the brink of halftime. But Lazio drew level through a Ciro Immobile penalty early in the second half, before Sergej Milinkovic-Savic found space in a crowded box to curl in the winner on the 69th minute. The victory moved Lazio into second on 56 points, one behind leaders Juventus and two ahead of Inter in third.

Brentford shouldn't be in this position, they should have clinched automatic promotion ahead of West Bromwich Albion. However, the team that had won eight games in a row lost the last two and then the play-off first leg. They now have to turn their season around or it'll be another season in the Championship for them.
Back at the start of the campaign, Ipswich were one of the teams tipped to do well by almost everyone with an eye on the third tier. Paul Lambert's men haven't disappointed. With a third of the season gone, the Tractor Boys sit three points behind the league leaders with two games in hand.
