RB Leipzig already dominated the first meeting and although they won only with 1-0, they created plenty of chances to score more goals. At home RB Leipzig have been strong since October last year with a 7-3-0 record in the last 10 matches scoring 31 goals.
Lugano have yet to win a game in this year's Europa League but still stand a chance of qualifying for the round of 32 if they can pick up two wins in their final two group games. Whilst the side haven't conceded many, just three in fact, scoring goals has been their biggest problem with just one goal in their four games so far.
Leicester did draw at the weekend, but that result shouldn't have dented their confidence too much. After all, they got the better of Everton just over a fortnight ago. However, that victory was a narrow one and it was also before Big Dunc reinvigorated Wednesday's hosts.
It was said that Garner would bring possession football to Memorial Stadium, though that is yet to happen as Rovers have struggled to dictate and have been outplayed in each of their last two matches. Not only did they struggle to dominate the ball against both Fleetwood and MK Dons, but they found it very tough to create decent chances registering just a single shot on target in both of those matches. At the other end, they gave an awful lot away. Since Garner took the reins, Rovers have five goals and have shipped no less than 28 shots on target.

He had a scan the next day and they found something. We will see next week. The injury is in the hip region, you could all do your work but for a professional goalkeeper it's a slightly different situation. Liverpool have lost three of their last four games in all competitions, falling to a 1-0 first-leg defeat to Atletico, losing their unbeaten streak in the league in a 3-0 reverse at Watford before exiting the Cup to Chelsea.
She wrote: "I did NOT say (and I ask you to please go back and read what I actually said) the season should be declared null and void now. I said that was an option only if the season could not be completed — but of course we hope it will be. What you need to know is that we are doing everything we can to ensure the season does continue — and that all domestic and European matches are played as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.

one more match in which I think home team is overrated especially Viking because they started with two defeats, first one from bodo glimt at home with 2-4 and then bran destroyed them with 3-0 win on the road and on the other side mjondalen started with a draw and a win and I think at the moment mjondalen is better team so I m not going to be surprised if they got the win here but still the odd on double chance is too good to be avoided so I will go with that and I surely recommend it to anyone
And when it comes to points accumulated, it is another feather in the cap for Bruce, whose side have four more at this stage than his predecessor managed last term. For that he has his backline to largely thank for both keeping it tight in defence and providing a threat up front - prior to Shelvey's second against City, eight of the past 10 Newcastle goals had been scored by defenders. Do the front three deserve more praise? Newcastle forward Allan Saint-Maximin impressed against Manchester City with his direct styleOn the flip side, some of the Toon Army will tell you their attack of Joelinton and widemen Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron have underperformed.

The first-half had a slow start but came to life in the closing stages. An extraordinary passage of play saw Alex McCarthy make a double save from Virgil van Dijk and Roberto Firmino, who then went down under a challenge from Shane Long, only for the referee and VAR to wave away his appeals. Just when it looked as though Liverpool would take control, they got sloppy and Southampton had a brilliant period, with Alisson forced to make saves to deny Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Long, who arguably denied his side a goal after inadvertently blocking Danny Ings’ shot.

Man of the match - Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool) Virgil van Dijk not only scored for the first time since the opening night of the season, the Liverpool defender also ended the match with a passing accuracy of 89. Why Alexander-Arnold is the assist king - the statsSince the start of last season, no player has provided more Premier League assists than Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold (17). Brighton have lost nine of their 11 away league games against Liverpool, with their only victory coming in the top flight in March 1982.
Manchester City look set to win another trophy. They have won this competition for the past two seasons and a win on Sunday would be their fifth in seven years. Their last three games have been won and they can make it four against a Villa side that has defensive problems. City have put nine goals past them in two games this season, go for them to win this match on a -2 handicap.

Astana come in to matchday five of the Europa League group stages already playing for pride alone. They have collected no points from their four group stage games, with their demolition at the hands of AZ earlier this month ending all hopes of them making it to the knockout stages.
It was then at 11 o’clock in the evening in Shanghai. It was hectic phone business. Everyone had to stay awake until five or six in the morning in Shanghai. Ighalo revels in 'dream' Man Utd move Odion Ighalo could not hide his delight upon arrival in Manchester, insisting becoming a Manchester United player is a dream come true.
Pep Guardiola's side have appealed, however, and could still compete if the ban is overturned. If the ban is upheld, whoever finishes fifth will take their place in next season's Champions League. Manchester United currently occupy that position (on 45 points), but Wolves and Sheffield United are both just two points behind and will undoubtedly have their eye on securing an unlikely place alongside Europe's elite.

The Frenchman has ended up being part of one of his country's biggest football stories of the season. It was crazy - all the people in the media spoke about the victory," Grandin explains. It's never happened before so it's been a very big thing. People are happy because it's a rare story. It's very good because people do not know much about Reunion football, so it's a great opportunity for the players over there to show their talent, and this is what we did.
It was my dream job. I loved doing what I did. Speaking to Football Focus, he added: "If there was an opportunity to get back into that, nobody in their right mind would turn it down. I am a 34-year-old. If I was a player I would be finishing now, as a referee if I was to go back into that group now I would still be one of the youngest. I still have a lot of years in me to do it. Madley used to be part of the group of 18 full-time professional referees in England and officiated the 2017 Community Shield at Wembley.
After a relatively up and down first few months of the campaign, Rotherham, much as they did when they won promotion two seasons ago, have steadied themselves to emerge as clear play-off candidates. Paul Warne, who is going for a second promotion in three seasons, has his side nicely placed in 4th position, just five points off the coveted top two. If they can improve their home form, then the Millers have got every chance of laying down a serious automatic-promotion challenge.
Fortunately for the hosts, Darmstadt have struggled to get going on their travels. The visitors come into this fixture having won just one out of seven on the road. They've lost four of the other six, shipping 12 goals in the process.
Tommy Lawrence (1957-71). League title (2) - 1964, 1966. FA Cup (1) - 1965. Bill Shankly's first-choice keeper, the Scot only missed four league matches in six seasons. In addition to winning two league titles, the keeper - affectionately nicknamed "The Flying Pig" by fans because of his ability to dive around the penalty area despite weighing more than 14 stone - helped Liverpool win their first FA Cup.
He then piled further misery on the hosts six minutes after the restart, running half the length of the pitch, shaking off one defender and curling a low shot past the Roma keeper for a 3-1 lead. Henrikh Mkhitaryan made it 3-2 in the 72nd but Roma were left with 10 men after Bryan Cristante was sent off in the 84th minute.
And it means Rangers will be Scotland's sole representatives in the next round, with the draw taking place from 12:00 GMT in Nyon on Friday. Reaction & as it happened'Dumped out with almighty thud'Before the deluge of Celtic errors and Copenhagen goals, the home team had an intensity about them, a tempo in the early minutes that forced the Danes on to the back foot. It took them 15 minutes to start turning that pressure into chances, but when they did the opportunities flowed.
