Thursday's 2-1 extra-time defeat eliminated Atletico from the Cup at the last 32 stage for the first time since they were beaten by Albacete in December 2011, a loss which led to then coach Gregorio Manzano being sacked and Simeone hired in his place. The Cup defeat came hot on the heels of a 2-0 reverse at La Liga strugglers Eibar last week which left Atletico third in the standings, eight points adrift of pacesetters Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Barcelona dropped to second with 43 points after their loss to Valencia in the last game, and Levante have 26 points, in 13th place. Barcelona lost to Levante in the first leg and will be hoping to avoid another loss here. They recovered from the Valencia loss with a big win over Leganes in the Copa del Rey and they will hope to repeat the same in La Liga.
From there, his influence will need to have made a significant impact as the Toffees start the new year at champions Man City before visiting neighbours and league leaders, Liverpool in the FA Cup. As for Arteta, he'll be well aware Arsenal have managed just one win in 13 matches in all competitions and will hope his presence and fresh ideas will spark a much-needed improvement.
Due to some unfortunate fate four of Strasbourg's last five matches have been away from home with them also set to make some trips in their next three games. However, they have coped quite well on the road this season with four wins in their last six outings including victories in Nantes (1-0), Bordeaux (1-0) and Amiens (4-0).
Gorodeya have started the season with disappointing loss against Vitebsk, and lost to soligorsk but recovered with a narrow win against belshina through a free kick in second half. Dinamo Minsk started the season with a loss against Rukh Brest but showed improvement in their second game against Mink where they scored two goals in second half despite conceding red card and won their third game against zhodino.

Going into a game I don't play to make the full-back position 'sexy'. I just think a lot of people underestimate how important the full-back position is. It's vital in the sense you've got to be up and down the pitch, creating things but also defending. I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I'm playing 'sexy' football or not. How are you so good at crossing? Practice really.
Chievo and Spezia are both in the Top 8, meaning that the group can participate in the promotion play-off round. However, the ambition of both is bigger: to win tickets directly to Serie A (for Top 2). Currently Spezia is 3 points behind Crotone by 2 points and Chievo is less than 8 points.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 80% of Eindhoven’s away games so far this season while 45% of Telstar’s home games have seen at least three goals scored. Neither side boast strong defensive records in the Eerste Divisie this season, with the visitors failing to keep a single clean sheet on the road and the hosts seeing both teams score in 45% of their home games. Both teams have also scored in 70% of Eindhoven’s away games which suggests that the visitors pose a threat going forward but will provide their hosts with scoring chances of their own.
Atletico Madrid finished a relatively distant 2nd to Barcelona last season, and they are already six points behind the Catalan giants after losing 0-1 when the teams met at Wanda Metropolitano last Sunday night.

Luiz: It has been a long time since I've watched a match and been so interested in the tactics. I was as fascinated by managers Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola on the touchline as I was the players on the pitch in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final between Areenal and Manchester City. However, it was David Luiz whose performance eventually captured everyone's imagination. Most of us know how good Luiz can be which is why he can be so infuriating with some of his decision-making.

With 13 games remaining and Barcelona leading Real Madrid by two points, El Clasico at the Bernabeu on Sunday could be pivotal in deciding the most compelling La Liga title race for years. Neither team has looked particularly convincing this season, both have been hit by significant injury blows, and Real now have a Champions League home defeat to bounce back from, so there are plenty of uncertainties heading into a game that is likely to be tense and closely contested.

McNeil rounded off the win with a superb solo goal in the 87th to send the Clarets up to eighth. Sixth-placed Sheffield United have begun to dream of a possible Champions League place but were frustrated as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by lowly Brighton & Hove Albion. A poacher's goal from Brighton striker Neal Maupay cancelled out a peach of a strike from Enda Stevens.
In June 1948, 18,000 people came to New York's Ebbets Field, the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers, to watch a touring Liverpool team that included Scottish legend Billy Liddell beat Swedish club Djurgaden 3-2 in a friendly. The United States Soccer Football Association and the American Soccer League organisations, keen to spread the message of soccer, saw an opportunity to raise the sport's profile. On the world stage, Fifa wanted to get the World Cup up and running again after the cancellation of the tournament in 1942 and 1946.

Augsburg have been on a downfall since the winter break with only a 1-1-6 record in the 8 Bundesliga matches so far. In 6 of the 8 matches they conceded at least 2 goals. At home they even conceded 10 goals in 4 matches. However, they also scored in each of the 4 matches themselves.
That being said, he is a player who I look at as someone who has all the tools he needs to get to the next level. And he is only 22, so he has got plenty of improvement left in him. I just hope he is back at 100% soon. How will club and country cope without him? Tammy Abraham scored his first senior international goal in England's 7-0 win over Montenegro last November. He has won four caps in total since his debut against Germany in November 2017.
Manchester United will take the "same planned, disciplined approach" to transfers this summer after making three signings in January's window. Bruno Fernandes signed for £47m a day before the window closed with Odion Ighalo and Nathan Bishop both arriving on deadline day. Executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said the club had been "linked in the media to 111 players in January". He also said boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would continue the club's "vision".
In this climate, it comes home to roost very quickly when there's no money coming through the door. We need to have better cost-control measures. I'm sure we will because, if this doesn't focus minds, frankly, what will. Kieran Maguire, a football finance expert from the University of Liverpool, added: "The gap between the Premier League and the Championship is £100m a year and that encourages casino-style ownership.
Savage, formerly of Leicester, Blackburn and Derby, has signed for the semi-professional side from the 10th tier of English football eight years after playing his last professional game. The 45-year-old has links to Stockport's owners Pro Football Academy. It's not a PR stunt, it's me trying to help youngsters progress in the game," Savage told the BBC after signing for the North West Counties Football League (NWCFL) First Division South side.
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.
I really see at least two goals in this match from Romania Cup and with a little luck and maybe even three or more than that. Simply, reason is good form of this rivals and when I say that, I mean on fact that this two teams are in last period played mostly very efficient. Hermannstadt is interesting team who is in last three matches at home played 1-0, 2-2 and 2-2, while on the other side, Steaua is almost in every match on same level - 2-2, 1-2 and 2-1 on last three away matches. Over is very real and I will try.

Immelman: November masters presents different challenges Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman believes the famous Augusta Court would present a different set of challenges should the event be played in a mooted rescheduled slot in November. If you look at the golf course in a bubble, I think the course itself won't play all that differently.
Please be mindful of this when interacting with UCFB guests, partners and fellow industry professionals. Woodward admits to overruling Mourinho on signings Controversial Manchester United executive Ed Woodward, whom many fans have blamed for the club's demise in recent years, has admitted that he overruled former manager Jose Mourinho in the transfer market.
Hapoel Tel Aviv will host Maccabi Tel Aviv for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors are strong favorites against this opponent. Maccabi Tel Aviv is the best team in the league. The visitors have great attack. They have a solid defense. I think, the visitors to dominate from the start match. On the other hand Hapoel Tel Aviv is very average team in this season. Hosts have low potential in attack. Also, they have a weak defense. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. I think, they have little chance. My pick - Maccabi Tel Aviv to win.
