Three victories have come in this time but with them all coming at the Stade de la Mosson, there is an unwanted pattern emerging on the south coast. Whereas Montpellier have been dazzling their fans with incredible performances at home, they have struggled to recreate that type of form on the road. They are still to win a game away from home this season and this could threaten their unbeaten run. Montpellier have managed to score 14 goals at home so far but have netted just four times on the road.
A wonderful week for JotaYou know the saying about London buses?Wolves forward Diogo Jota was so close to following his Europa league hat-trick against Espanyol on Thursday with another against Norwich. He got a further two goals against the Canaries and was inches away from a third as his shot rebounded off the post to allow Raul Jimenez to seal the points for Wolves. Linked with a £50m bid from Manchester United on Sunday, 23-year-old Jota has eight goals in his last seven home games in all competitions.
For me football is an easy target sometimes," he told Sky Sports on Tuesday. It's unfair to call on any individual or footballers. I know players do a great amount of work in the community and players are doing a lot to help this situation. Discussions are taking place between players and clubs, what kind of contribution they'll make.
Watford have so far managed nine points and are placed rock bottom in the league while Manchester United have 25 points and are placed sixth on the standings. Watford have not had a good season and they go to this game winless in the last five matches. They have one win in their last 12 matches and have managed just four clean sheets in the last 15 matches.
Billy Gilmour's first-team career so far amounts to just seven appearances - four starts - and 461 minutes. But the 18-year-old Scot has wasted no time in making a lasting impression at the heart of Chelsea's midfield. Among the list of admirers is West Ham manager David Moyes, who would relish a chance to work with his compatriot. The one [Scottish player] who if I could sign tomorrow I would is Billy Gilmour after his opening performances for Chelsea," said Moyes.

Video - Hazard: I hope I'll be a Galactico one day00:57 Perhaps set back by his extra weight, Hazard, 28, made a slow start to his Real career and did not score his first goal until a 4-2 win over Granada in October. He began to hit form soon after but he has been out of action since injuring his ankle in a 2-2 draw with Paris St Germain in the Champions League on November 26.
Cerefin said leagues which do not complete the season "will still have to play qualifiers if they want to participate in Uefa competition" next season. He added: "Only sporting reasons can be the formula for qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League. Euro 2020, due to take place from 12 June to 12 July this summer, will now run from 11 June to 11 July next year after a decision to postpone in March.

Chelsea staged a stunning late comeback to snatch victory and wreck Mikel Arteta's return to Emirates Stadium as Arsenal manager. Arteta, taking charge of his first home game since succeeding sacked Unai Emery, looked on course for three important points after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's early header put the Gunners in front. Chelsea, with manager Frank Lampard making a first-half tactical switch when he introduced Jorginho for the struggling Emerson, were gifted an equaliser seven minutes from time when goalkeeper Bernd Leno hopelessly misjudged Mason Mount's free-kick to leave the substitute with a simple finish.
Odds may not be so great on the over 2.5 goals in this Premier League fixture, but then again Aston Villa is scoring and conceding goals at this moment and they really need all 3 points in their struggle to avoid relegation not being so good so far this season, still they even made it lately to the League Cup final of the competition where they will meet Manchester City after defeating Leicester 1-1 away from home and 2-1 at home in the return leg.
They are 14 points ahead of Manchester United in fifth place, which means they are already in a strong position to finish in the top four and make the Champions League for the first time since they won the league. They will have set their sights higher than that, though. They will believe they can go the distance in the title race, and their aim must be to stay close enough to Liverpool to take advantage if the leaders do slip up.
The ruling, if upheld, would mean City would not be able to compete in the 2020-21 Champions League should they again qualify for Europe's top club competition. They would also be banned from European competition in the 2021-22 season. Video - 'It's not City's last chance to win Champions League' - Guardiola01:17 UEFA said the club had overstated its sponsorship revenue in its accounts submitted between 2012 and 2016 and had failed to cooperate with its investigation.
Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores is set to be sacked after Saturday's 2-1 loss to Southampton, with the club's hierarchy meeting to decide his future. Sanchez Flores, in charge for the 2015-16 campaign, was only reappointed on 7 September, replacing Javi Gracia. But he failed to achieve an upturn in results with the club winning just one of his 10 league games in charge. They are bottom of the Premier League on eight points after 14 games and are six points from safety.
Champions League draw on its way Good morning and welcome to another week of football, which features the small matter of a Clasico on Wednesday, updates on Arsenal's manager situation, and a blockbuster Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham, of course now managed by the former Blues boss Jose Mourinho.
The team that never played together againUltimately, the stunning triumph changed little for Scotland either. The victory meant they avoided finishing bottom of the Home Championships, but the winners for the previous three seasons had lost their crown to Wales - with whom they drew 2-2 in Cardiff - and also trailed Northern Ireland in the standings having lost 1-0 to them at Firhill. Astonishingly, just two of the Wizards - Dunn and Morton - played in that defeat little more than a month earlier.
No histrionics, no controversy Jose Mourinho shakes Dele Alli's hand following the England midfielder's substitutionAs was the case at United, the early impressions of Mourinho at Tottenham have been favourable. He said it was important to hear music pumping in the dressing room after the West Ham game because it meant the players were happy. The choice was down to the players, he said - although it is understood he was stunned to hear them playing 1980s tunes on Friday.

Mount: This was a disappointing performance from Everton and a sure indication to Carlo Ancelotti of the players capable of taking the club to the next level. One player who is destined for the highest level is Mason Mount. This Chelsea starlet has been groomed for the top by Frank Lampard and his performance against a poor Everton was emphatic. He made his intentions clear in the opening exchanges of the match when he forced a first-class save from Jordan Pickford.
Very rarely is the decision reversed, but it still takes the sheen off a memorable, potentially historical, occasion. On that note, here are some other incidents which could/would have been changed by VAR… Atletico Madrid: Champions League winners Real Madrid won the 2016 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid on penalties, but the match would have played out very differently had it remained goalless when Real took the lead in the first half.
Having a CAN every two years, is that good at the commercial level? Has this developed the infrastructure? Think about spending it every four years. Infantino then gave details of his proposal for a pan-African league which he said had been developed in conjunction with CAF. I want to create a real pan-African league that would feature 20-24 clubs with a maximum of maybe two clubs per country that would still play in their national leagues but that would play during the year so we can really crown the club champions of Africa," he said.
Richard Bevan [chief executive of the League Managers' Association] says that for games to go ahead, players would have to be tested for coronavirus first. But as Bevan rightly pointed out, the priority for testing has to go to NHS workers and patients first. Also, if Premier League games do go ahead without fans, which seems to be an idea that has snowballed and is going to happen, then there will still have to be doctors at games, and ambulances.
Guiseley and Chester will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League North. Guiseley this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 8L. Meanwhile Chester have 11W, 8D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
None of them are even threatening relevance. Lyon, on the other hand, were well-organised, and a constant source of irritation to their notional betters. Obviously, the intersection of two-legged football with giant piles of money means that Juventus are still favourites to go through. But for a side that should in theory be among the favourites for the whole tournament, they looked horribly pedestrian.
Liverpool continued their relentless pursuit of a Premier League points record with victory over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. The newly-crowned champions looked on course to secure three more points with ease when they went two up inside eight minutes as Brighton, with sights set on Premier League safety, made a nightmare start. Naby Keita robbed Davy Propper in a dangerous position to set up Mohamed Salah before Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson swiftly swept home a superb second from 20 yards.
Manchester CityManchester City have lost just one of their past 14 Champions League matches, with that defeat coming away to Spurs in last season's quarter-final. City will finish top of their group for the fourth time in their past five Champions League campaigns, including in each of the past three seasons.
We are going to play with the players we have available. I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench – now I don’t have attacking options on the pitch. His absence means that a combination of Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn are likely to have to combine to fill the striker void.
We want to be the best we can be," Reiten says. Reiten won three league titles in three years at LSK. She had already signed for Chelsea when she arrived at the World Cup in France, and with more time to train in the gym and on the pitch, she is embracing the more physical surroundings of the English game.

It is Wednesday's Euro Papers. Video - Liverpool 'target defender who was kicked by ref' – Euro Papers01:20 13:55 - Could your club sign Haaland or Sancho this summer? Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho are two of the finest youngsters in the game right now – so can Borussia Dortmund cling onto them this summer? Haaland settled immediately in Germany following his January move from Red Bull Salzburg, scoring a hat-trick on his debut as a substitute, while Sancho has had his best season yet in yellow.
The hero - former Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy DudekEvery time [during the shoot-out] I went with the ball to the player, I looked in their eyes, gave them nicely the ball - and then asked them if they're going to go the same as always. Then I turned my back to the goal. I think Shevchenko wanted to put the ball to my right but he knew I'm going there. Then he wanted to score in the middle of the goal but I was there as well.
Real Madrid duo Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema will miss Wednesday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Valencia. Forward Bale, who has been linked with a move away from Real this month, has been ruled out through illness. Striker Benzema, meanwhile, has a hamstring injury. Both players have not travelled to Saudi Arabia for the four-team tournament, which also includes Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
They can't afford to drop points when visiting Burnley who are eighth in the table. City looked as if they were going to get three valuable points at Newcastle but conceded an equalizer three minutes from time. They twice led in the game but two more points were dropped and they now have just one win in their last five league and cup games.

The unexpected break in the season due to the coronavirus crisis has halted what was impressive form for Fernandes, alongside an upturn in results for United heading into the business end of the campaign. Indeed Fernandes has already endeared himself enough to the Old Trafford faithful that he already had a terraces song in his name. Bruno, Bruno, Bruno, he's from Sporting like Cristiano. He goes left, he goes right, makes defences look *rubbish*, he's our Portuguese magnifico.

In terms of a correct score tip, we do not expect this one to be a particularly high scoring affair. The hosts have scored an average of 1.31 goals per game and conceded almost as frequently. Meanwhile, 33% of Bradford’s away matches have finished in a 1-1 draw so far this season. It is a result which we believe will be repeated this weekend.
Solskjaer safe at Manchester United, move for Pochettino ruled out Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly been told his job at Manchester United is safe and the Red Devils boss has received assurances he will have money to spend in the summer transfer window. Solskjaer has been plagued by speculation about his future throughout the current campaign after overseeing United’s worst start to a league campaign in 30 years.
Neman Grodno Res. host Belshina Reserves. So far Neman Grodno 2 have won 7 points in 2 matches, ranked 2nd place in the league, their goal record is 7:1. On the other side we have Belshina 2 who have won only 3 points and are ranked 9th place in the league.
We think everything is set up here for a low scoring clash, with 67% of Udinese’s matches at this ground seeing fewer than three goals. They’ve had quite cagey clashes here with the sides below them in the league – losing 1-0 to Brescia and drawing 0-0 with SPAL. On top of that, Udinese have seen under 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 clashes with Sassuolo, so we see a game low on goals. We think that under 2.5 goals is the best bet here, with the pair averaging a combined two goals scored per match across Udinese’s home outings and Sassuolo’s trips.
Definitely not. Pep or Fergie? Guardiola's Barcelona beat Manchester United in two Champions League finalsFerguson famously met Guardiola for dinner in New York in 2012. At the time, the former Barcelona coach was on his sabbatical year and Ferguson was still to decide he would end his own illustrious career just months later. Ferguson asked to be kept abreast of Guardiola's plans but the return call never came.
3 of Bournemouth’s 4 draws this season arrived inside their last 6 Premier League fixtures, and as luck would have it, the they face the division’s draw specialists Wolves who have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches.
The British champions arrived on the crest of a wave. Five wins on the bounce had installed them as firm favourites for the meeting with Scott's team. Nearly 250,000 people had watched them beat Wales, Ireland and England in the Home International Championship. A Billy Steel double in the 2-0 friendly win against France in front of 126,000 supporters at Hampden Park was the perfect sign off to their American trip.
The head to head record doesn’t bode particularly well for Santa Clara either. They have won just two of their last 11 meetings with Aves, making an Aves Win or Draw Double Chance looks very good value for money here.
Sheffield United currently hold the Premier League's third best defensive record, though the Blades rarely keep clean sheets away from Bramall Lane. United kept their hosts out just twice in eight attempts overall since August, though the attacking thrust they carry allowed them to respond in all but one of those eight games at the other end.
Well I am not so sure about the away win in this one because Tai Po did win the title in this country two seasons ago if I remember right plus they were outsiders in the previous two round in this FA Cup competition playing first with Lee Man Warriors who defeated them twice already this season once with 4-1 and once with 3-2 but after extra-time as the score was just 2-2 in normal time Tai Po qualified.
This fixture has played into the hands of Milan in recent years. The last Serie A draw between AC Milan and Sampdoria was back in April 2015: the Rossoneri have won six of these meetings since, with three wins for the Blucerchiati. It seems like the perfect game for Milan to start the year, which can continue their fine January record.
HONG KONG, Feb 11 (Reuters) - FC Tokyo had to settle for a share of the points against former champions Ulsan Hyundai on Tuesday as Adailton's own goal saw the Japanese side held to a 1-1 draw in the opening round of group games in the 2020 Asian Champions League. Diego Oliveira had given Kenta Hasegawa's side the lead 64 minutes into the game when he slipped the ball between the legs of Ulsan goalkeeper Jo Su-huk only for his fellow Brazilian to head Sin Jin-ho's free kick into his own goal eight minutes from time.
