Chelsea could welcome back centre-back Antonio Rudiger for their "knockout" Champions League tie with Lille. Rudiger recovered from knee surgery to play 45 minutes of the Premier League victory at Wolves in September, before suffering a separate groin injury.

They lead this semi-final tie against cup holders Shakhytor Soligorsk 2-0 after the first leg. That was played on home territory with them scoring in the sixth and 13th minutes to take a commanding lead. They will most likely be disappointed that they didn't extend their lead even further. Brest continue to struggle in the league though and are 14th, just one place above the relegation zone.
Then he missed a glorious chance from six yards out after being found in space by Naby Keita - failing to even hit the target. Next was a free-kick which he hit high and wide. It was more of the same after the break. Sadio Mane picked him out well but with just the keeper to beat he lifted his shot over the bar. Seconds later Salah ran onto a through ball and tried to go around Cican Stankovic but showed too much of the ball to the goalkeeper.
He said: “We must not have too much panic about it. What you can do is keep your hands clean and try to avoid contact, like selfies and autographs.

Match of Scottish Cup where team Albion Rovers will play at home with team Airdrieonians. Hosts are playing in League 2. After last 2 matches played they did defeat and victory. Guests are playing in League 2. After last 2 matches played they did 2 wins. It will be a hard match for both teams. My bet here on hosts how 1X.

I am thinking that it will be our match .
The action was relentless during the first stanza, with both sides putting on a show of the highest quality, albeit with a lack of end product, Caitlin Foord being another such culprit, with the Australian's drive rippling the side netting minutes before the break. The pace of the game showed no sign of slowing up after the interval, with Reiten the first to try her luck, before Arsenal began to turn the screw around the hour mark.
The second-half introduction of in-form striker Erling Haaland, who scored seven goals in his first three games for the club, instantly gave the visitors hope and the Norwegian teenager cut the deficit in the 67th. Milot Rashica restored the hosts' two-goal cushion three minutes later but another Dortmund teenager, 18-year-old Giovanni Reyna's sensational curled shot into the top corner set up a dramatic finale.
Nonetheless, Huddersfield's league position is mainly due to the dreadful start they made to the season and they've improved significantly since bringing in the Cowley brothers from Lincoln.

Kapfenberger SV will host Dornbirn for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts will try to make a positive result. I expect, the hosts will have to invest a great effort in this game. Kapfenberger is worst team in the league. They are currently bottom in the table. In any case, Kapfenberger want to win. Also, we have Dornbirn is also weak team in this campaign. Dornbirn is team of the relegation zone. I think, the visitors have a very difficult task on the road. So, Kapfenberger is better team at home. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
The two late, late goals mean that Leicester stay third, while Watford could yet end the day back in the bottom three depending on results elsewhere.

But Lampard said his team "can improve" despite showing "a bit more personality in our game". We need to move the ball quicker and be more mobile with our rotations," he added. We have done it in parts this season but if we want to move on, it needs to be better. But I don't want to be too critical after a win. We didn't give them anything to worry us. We had 10-15 minutes in the second half where we were slow and I didn't like it but after that we got it back.

The rock-bottom Barcelona-based club have spent 85 of La Liga's 89 seasons in the top flight, but they are currently six points from safety and on their third manager of the season (former Barca defender Abelardo) after winning four games out of 27. Five other teams are in danger, including Ronaldo-owned Real Valladolid, but Espanyol's demise - a year after they qualified for Europe - will take some avoiding.

Klopp ready for Napoli fight Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Champions League visitors Napoli will be tough to beat on Wednesday night.
So Temuri was not happy anyway and had the right hump. He came on and I headed the ball back across for him to score. I looked across and saw him going absolutely berserk. He got his top off, started booting the advertising hoardings and tried to take his boots off too. He was slightly different, hard as nails. We went paintballing on a team bonding session once and he was on the opposite side, he crept up behind Aaron Hughes, pushed him on the floor and was pinging him shouting, 'stay down, stay down'.

He made one of the best saves ever from me, I was three yards out and the ball came across and bang, hit it, but he just came across from nowhere and it was unbelievable. You would never congratulate the goalkeeper after, it was sickening but he deserved credit after that one, my god what a save. Wright: "From the time he came into the dressing room, Seaman was so calm and he made the rest feel that way.
