Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane says they "have to believe" Wednesday's El Clasico against fierce rivals Barcelona will go ahead. The La Liga match was originally scheduled for 26 October but was postponed because of fears of civil unrest in Catalonia. Both sides are level on 35 points but Barca top the table on goal difference. In games like this you've got to produce your best throughout the 90 minutes," said Zidane.
Saipa entered the opening match with poor form and despite playing at home, the chance of scoring Iran's team is very low. It is worth knowing that the coach of A.Ilić has just had 2 consecutive losses against Al Shabab in the quarterfinals of the Arab regional clubs, losing 0-1 and 0-6. If calculated more broadly, Saipa has an erratic performance when winning 2 matches, drawing 2 and losing 3 matches in the last 7 matches in all competitions.
However, any Premier League club who find themselves replaced by a team who have not completed their season are bound to consider legal action. Quite apart from a row over the rights and wrongs of such a move, logistically, the clubs going down would have a major problem. They could find themselves having to turn round in a short space of time from one season into another and having to face a string of opponents who have not played a competitive game for months.
Rafael Nadal takes on Novak Djokovic as Spain bid to complete the Davis and ATP Cup double. This new team tournament is virtually identical to the Davis Cup that Spain won towards the end of last year. The main difference is that there are valuable ranking points available here. That explains the farce of both semi-finals having a final doubles rubber played when the tie had already been won.
The Reds have a long way to go to match AC Milan's remarkable unbeaten Serie A run from May 1991 to March 1993 - a sequence of 58 games lasting for 672 days. To catch that the Reds will need to stay unbeaten until 5 November this year. If they managed to finish this campaign without defeat they would be second behind Milan on 50 games and 500 days, 584 by the time next season starts (if it begins the same weekend as this season).
Soon afterwards, City's Brazilian goalkeeper needed the help of Nicolas Otamendi to deflect Dominic Solanke's goalbound shot over the bar, and Philip Billing headed over from the resulting corner. Bournemouth were on top and appeared full of confidence, but they were left to rue their wastefulness in front of goal when Gabriel Jesus struck City's second before half-time. There were five defenders around Jesus when he collected David Silva's pass inside the box but he beat two of them with a step-over and a dart into space before planting his shot into the bottom corner of the net.

They are also unbeaten in the last four home matches, having scored at least thrice in three of the four. In their seven matches in the Europa League this season, they have lost just once, away to Sporting Braga and while they were a bit shaky away from home, it was completely different in Austria. They won each of their group games and are unbeaten, with straight wins in their last five Europa League games at home.
After they'd been drawn against Leeds in the quarter-final, the Premier League side's scouting reports would have spoken warily of the La Liga champions and the talents of playmaker Juan Carlos Valeron, Brazilian enigma Djalminha and Dutch goal machine Roy Makaay. Before the first leg at Elland Road, Makaay had called Leeds the "weakest link" remaining in the competition. But, riding a nine-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League, the West Yorkshire side were typically ebullient in the face of fearsome opposition.
Bristol City ended Fulham's four-match winning run in the Championship as they hung on for victory at Craven Cottage. Midfielder Josh Brownhill scored for the second successive match, heading home Niclas Eliasson's cross from the left after being left unmarked.

The UK government is expected to announce on Thursday that it is stepping up its response to the pandemic. It is anticipated the UK will switch to tactics aimed at delaying its spread, rather than containing it, when the government's emergency committee meets. Delay is the phase in which "social distancing" measures will be considered - which could include restrictions on public gatherings above a certain number of people, although this is not thought likely at this stage.

It’s safe to say that the summer appointment of Steve Bruce wasn’t overwhelmingly popular at St James’ Park, and it’s been far from plain sailing for the boss. However, the goalscoring problems that plagued them last season finally seem to be abating, and they head into a busy December period in high spirits after losing just two of their last eight league games.
Viktoria Mar. Gorka will host Osipovichy for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. However, the hosts have fallen in their shape. Hosts are more vulnerable team in the last matches. In previous game Viktoria Mar. Gorka lost 9-1 against Dnepr Mogilev. In my opinion, the hosts have a very difficult task in this game. They are not convincing team. On the other hand Osipovichy have better results in this campaign. In previous game Osipovichy is won 2-0 against SMlavtotrans. After all, I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.

Mahrez cut in from the left to equalise after half an hour and when Ricardo Pereira fouled Raheem Sterling to concede a penalty, Gundogan slotted past Kasper Schmeichel. De Bruyne set up Jesus for the third, his 13th assist of the season, to confirm City's superiority. Evenings like this are humbling and good for you, because our young squad can learn from it," Rodgers, whose side face Liverpool next, said.
The psychological impact and motivation of a new, determined manager helps. Defender Craig Dawson told the club's official website: "The thing that has changed totally: the work rate. Everyone is working hard for each other. If someone is slightly out of position, the person next to them is helping them out. You can see that throughout the pitch. Everyone has got each other's backs. The Hornets are also more settled and structured, with Pearson largely consistent in his selection and relying on a back four in front of Foster - one of the division's best keepers - as opposed to the three or five favoured by Flores.
Simone Zaza ended an early spell of pressure for Torino by scoring with a diving header from Cristian Ansaldi's cross in the 21st minute and Ansaldi himself added the second goal with a low shot in the 72nd minute.

Spurs defenders appeared to switch off as Fletcher controlled Saville's ball, before the midfielder ran through and finished.

In the FA Cup, Manchester City from Premier League will face Port Vale from League Two, so it's a match where there is a huge difference between the two teams.

In this match they are going up against a team from the fourth league in the country and I think they will have a hard time and lose big, so my tip for the match will be Manchester city -4 goals
Shearer: "One of most iconic games in the Premier League. Liverpool v Newcastle produced some fantastic games over the years.

It was a game they had to get something out of. They had a 12-point lead in February but going into the game they trailed United by three points but still had two games in hand.

Besiktas is Boateng's fourth club in two seasons, having joined Italian club Fiorentina from Sassuolo in August after he spent the second half of the 2018-19 season on loan at Barcelona. The former Ghana midfielder, 32, has also had spells in England and Germany in a senior career spanning 15 years. He has made 15 appearances for Fiorentina this season, scoring once.

Bulgaria, Professional league, 26 round of games. The host of this game is CSKA Sofia and the visiting team is Lokomotiv Plovdiv. It is going to be a very interesting and exciting game. Both teams sit at the top of the table. I expect a balanced match. Both has exactly same record. Both after 25 rounds have 14 wins 7 draws and 4 defeats and collected total 49 points. The difference lies in the goals, 40 in favor and 16 against for the shots while the rival has scored 48 and conceded 22. I think it will be a close match where both teams will tie.

They tasted defeat in their last game, with Western United claiming a 2-1 win and they’ll be hoping to bounce back here. No new injury worries will be a boost to the side and the goalscoring exploits of Mitch Duke will buoy them further, with the Socceroo scoring four so far this season. The defence has been the biggest bonus for the side, however, with just four goals conceded, averaging less than a goal a game. But that record will be under threat this weekend as they come up against the league’s top marksman, Jamie Maclaren.
