Nuno's men are still in the Europa League and face Olympiakos in the last 16 of the competition next month, but they will have to go all the way in that competition to seal a Champions League place or rely on a favour from Chelsea at Wembley to compete on the continent next term. They will lament back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Sheffield United at the start of the month as the reason they missed out on a top-six place and although they held out until first-half injury time against Chelsea, the home side's two quick-fire goals took the wind out of them.

Spal football club will play against Genoa football club on Monday in Italy Series A, the time of kick off is 2145 hours and the venue is at Stadio Paolo Mazza. These teams have met on four occasions and three ended in a stalemate and home won one and all these games have produced under three goals. Spam draw their last away game against Udinese with 0-0 scoreline and visitors have drawn their last away 0-0 against Napoli. This is the game between the team at 19th position against the team at 18th position so I think this game is balanced a draw is possible.
Howe's half-time team talk looked to have made some difference as Bournemouth came out after the break in a higher gear, substitute Junior Stanislas looking to single-handedly drive his side on as they strung passes together and finally enjoyed more possession. But they had very little to offer after West Ham's fourth goal, despite Dominic Solanke hitting the post in the final minutes. More to follow.
Despite finishing 20th in League Two in each of the past two seasons, a wave of optimism is sweeping through Vale Park following the arrival of new owners in May who paid slightly more than the reported £4m.

In any case, this behaviour and reaction deserved a red card, referee did a right thing when he used it, in our opinion. That's why the player had to be held accountable.

Instead, due to the selfless actions of my mum, my family, my neighbours, and my coaches, the only stats I'm associated with are goals, appearances and caps.
I would really be surprised if the league leaders from Al Ahly who scored no less than 23 goals while winning their 8 games from 8 played in the league so far do not score even 3 goals all alone in this one, as they managed to do so even last season when they played here and won the game with 3-0 in the end while this start of the season they won 5-1 away at Aswan, 4-0 away at Gouna and 3-0 away at Wadi Degla being very attacking minded and do not really mind scoring more goals than necessary.

El Porvenir will host Leandro Niceforo Alem for this fixture of the league. Yeah, the hosts have fallen into a very poor show in this season. El Porvenir is worst team in this league. Hosts have low potential in attack. Also, they have a very vulnerable defense. They have five consecutive losses. In last game El Porvenir lost 3-0 against Argentino de Merlo. Also, we have Leandro N. Alem who's is very average team in this league. Yeah, the visitors have better team than their opponent. However, they have big fluctuations. Also, I believe, Leandro N. Alem is not very good team away from home. Maybe this is a draw.. My pick: El Porvenir to win.

One of these players is on their way to their first ever Grand Slam semi-final. Sofia Kenin is the highest ranked of the two players and has had some memorable victories in the past year. She is in good form and takes on a player who has had most of her success on the lesser ITF Challenger series. Kenin has won three of her four previous matches against her opponent. After beating her on the way to two titles last year, she will be hoping history might repeat itself this week. Go for Kenin to get the win.
Ross, aware of no real attacking threat from his side, brought on Daryl Horgan for Joe Newell to accompany Boyle's introduction in Florian Kamberi's place. Then Mallan came on for Scott Allan. Yet their hosts just kept coming. With cross after cross failing to cleave an opening, Danny Mullen opted instead to fire in a long-range shot that ricocheted off a post. In a moment that seemed to sum up the evening for St Mirren, the ball then bounced in to the path of Jonathan Obika, who trundled it wide with the goal gaping.

Basement club Espanyol also picked up three much-needed points with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal – a first win since October – to move level on points with second-bottom Leganes, but they still remain four off Mallorca. What is happening at Atletico Madrid? Atletico Madrid might have finished second last term and completed a club-record 120 million euro ($133 million) move for Joao Felix in the close season, but all is not well at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Palace have lost at home to all of the top three teams in the league and recently lost 4-0 at Liverpool and 3-0 at Leicester. Goals are a big problem for Palace and only once in their last 12 home league fixtures have they scored more than once, that being the 2-1 win over West Ham. Each of their last six home league matches have had under 2.
Both sides had chances to win it, with under-pressure David de Gea producing a fingertip save to repel a deflected Jarrod Bowen effort and substitute Odion Ighalo turned a near-post effort wide at the other end. United already knew their efforts to secure a top-four berth would go down to the last day at Leicester. However, the point means that, after being in fifth since February, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have moved back into the top four for the first time since 14 September.
In all three cases, the current top four would stay the same, happily fulfilling Uefa's hope that the 2020-21 European participants would be decided on "sporting merit" - Paris St-Germain as champions and Marseille would qualify for the Champions League group stage with Rennes heading into the third qualifying round. Lille would finish fourth to take Ligue 1's only Europa League qualifying place. However, if the two Europa League places available from the domestic cup competitions are given to the teams finishing fifth and sixth in the league, expect squabbling: Lyon, Montpellier, Reims, Nantes and Nice would all have a claim.
Man City have kept 11 clean sheets in their 18 FA Cup matches under Pep Guardiola, conceding just nine times; only Chelsea (12) have managed more since the competition kicked off in 2016.

AnalysisBBC Radio Manchester's Mike MinayIt is still far from clear, at this point, what exactly will happen next for Bury and the CVA supervisor Steven Wiseglass. The biggest concern for the Shakers will surround liquidation, which can come either through Steve Dale himself or Wiseglass - and could be triggered immediately. If that were to happen, it is would likely to take up to six weeks to go through the courts.

At the start of this season Aarhus which is having a really good season so far by their own standards won with no less than 3-0 away from home at Brondby but they also won recently with 4-2 at home against Sonderjyske despite the fact that they conceded 2 goals there as their defense is not that strong at times and Brondby won two games in a row away from home at this moment and only lost with 3-2 here last season so instead of taking the home win to happen I prefer to be betting on over 3.5 goals being scored in this one.

But a couple of half-time changes from Marcelo Bielsa saw Ajayi strike back early in the second half, a just reward for dominating possession. Though both Ajayis had chances to seal the game, you’d imagine that this will feel like a good point for each. Slaven Bilic’s Ajayi have now gone four games without a win, while Marcelo Bielsa’s Ajayi will be pleased to have a nine-point cushion from which to begin their customary second-half-of-the-season slump.

Lyon last played on Tuesday while Rennes have had two less days to rest as they faced Lazio on Thursday. This could be another factor holding back the away side and we feel this won't help their case or their away form. Therefore we're backing Lyon to get the win as they've scored nine goals in their last five games at the Groupama. However, they have just one clean sheet in this time and with Rennes scoring consistently in recent weeks we expect this to be a close one. Nevertheless, with Lyon's home form and extra rest we're backing them to win 2-1.
FIFA added the competition would have the potential to generate a revenue of $3 billion over a five-year cycle – and would also create the conditions for African football to be able to retain some of most talented players on the continent.

Ajax, who were 2-0 down from the first game, went behind early on as Jaime Mata opened the scoring for Getafe. Danilo quickly levelled for Ajax, before Mathias Olivera scored an own goal for the Spanish side in the second half to put Ajax 2-1 up.
