The Ibrox side conceded two late goals to lose 2-1 to Kilmarnock and slip 10 points behind leaders Celtic. It is the third time Rangers have dropped points in five league games since the winter break. I thought we were in a better place than what we've shown over the last four-six weeks," Gerrard said.

Beleaguered United's players, who ply their trade in the 10th tier of English football, decided they had had enough and refused to come out for the second period. The game started off fine, there was no nastiness or anything like that, but we were 8-0 up at half-time and then their manager and players didn't come out for the second half," added Blackmore. There was a reasonable crowd there of about 160 people and they were as gobsmacked as anybody else.
Chelsea are winless in their last five Champions League games at Stamford Bridge (D4 L1), their longest run without a win in the competition on home soil.

Chelsea now have a precious four-point gap to fifth, the pressure has been released and the world looks a far better place. Not so for Mourinho, defiant afterwards but attempting to erect a shield around his team's shortcomings. Mourinho is now in full "what can I/we do?" mode after Son Heung-min joined Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko as long-term injury absentees.
It's also the first time the team from Leipzig faces an English club in a competitive fixture, while Spurs will be facing German opposition in the UCL last 16 for the second consecutive season, after knocking out Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on aggregate in 2018-19.

Neymar is once again free for carnival selection. Cue the conspiracy theories.

Everton have had a poor spell of their own in recent weeks, but with their late equaliser against Tottenham and then their victory at Southampton, things appear a bit rosier for them at the moment. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Seth's prediction: 2-2 Watford v BurnleyIt seems like a long time ago because of the international break, but Watford finally won a game last time out, and I think that will be massive for them, and will change the whole mood of the club.
He will have to wait a year for another crack at ending England’s trophy hurt, but one way or another he deserves to finally lift the Premier League title and end Liverpool’s long wait. In the past there has been obvious standout candidates for the Player of the Year award but this season it feels as if there is actually a healthy debate.
Irish Transport Minister Shane Ross will not publish nor comment on the findings of the report, his department said in a statement after it referred the audit to police. Delaney, who had led the association since 2005 and remains a member of the executive committee of European soccer's ruling body UEFA, left the FAI completely in September after being on gardening leave for months.
This is the Premier League. You come out of two wins and suddenly you lose four on the spin. It creeps up on you. We have to fight for everything. We have always had to do that. The confidence gets sucked out of players if they are not winning. We are trying to revive that. Burnley continue to struggle against big sides - match statsChelsea registered their first league double against Burnley since the 2009-10 campaign under Carlo Ancelotti.
Reaction & as it happenedPlayer Rater: who was man of the match?'Rangers seize final by the throat'To say that Rangers were dominant in the opening half would be the understatement of the season. They should have been at least one goal, and probably more goals, ahead such was their control. Rangers came out of the traps with aggression and energy and intent. They pressed Celtic into a state of distraction.
We have to see that maybe during the winter period we can regulate a few things. So far Bayern have made no move on the transfer market. They finished 2019 strongly, with 11 goals in their last three league games to climb back up to third but they will need to pick up where they left off with Klinsmann eager to give his former club a run for their money.
However, Blackburn have got a decent scoring edge so far this season. The visitors have found the net in their last two games, despite the injury to attacking midfielder Bradley Dack. Rovers have also scored in each of their last six away trips in the Championship, while they have found the net in 83% of their away games this season. With five of the last six clashes between these two seeing both teams score, we’re backing a repeat on Wednesday.
Each player has experienced this period in a different way. Now the point will be to understand what motivations everyone has within themselves. No Zlatan, no hope?The cup is more of a priority for 18-time Serie A champions and five-time Coppa Italia winners Milan, whose last major honour came nine years ago.

Burnley welcomes Norwich in the 4th round of the FA cup. The question is to which team this comes as the biggest distraction. We can't really expect that either of these teams will reach the final games so they will surely rotate a lot to preserve the freshness. Burnley has more to lose I guess as they have some good momentum behind them and they will want to preserve this. They beat Leicester at home and Manchester away which are huge results. They play well at home but only against the weak teams. Norwich is the weakest team and they will rotate a lot. They have 1-2-9 in the league and they lost the past 6 at this ground.
Both teams have scored in four of the last five Valencia home Champions League games. Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine Atalanta games.

In Texas, football is religion. Families are raised under the Friday night lights, where communities rally in support for high school and college teams, and tailgating is a popular sporting past-time.

But the midfielder finds himself about to embark on his second season in the American 'soccer' leagues, returning for El Paso Locomotive's second year in the USL Championship.

Sociedad lifted the domestic Cup last season and beat Levante 1-0 in the semi-final of the inaugural Super Cup in Salamanaca, while Barca, last year's league runners-up, defeated league champions Atletico Madrid.

Alfredo Morelos' eighth goal in seven games and Ryan Kent's third in three put Rangers in control by half-time. Christophe Berra's own goal and a Greg Stewart double added to Hearts' woes.

The former Schalke man has become known for his skills with the ball at his feet, frequently standing well out of his area and acting as a so-called sweeper-keeper.

The Grecians have certainly proven that to be the case in the first half of the campaign as only one visiting side has managed to travel to St James Park and come away with the three points so far. When you factor in that they have scored in 91% of their matches and have won three of their last five league matches, there is every reason for the hosts to be hopeful that they can top off the festive celebrations with three points.
Leicester were dealt huge a blow in the Premier League title race as they were held to a draw by a battling Norwich at King Power Stadium.
