The England youngster has started just two games for Liverpool this season and manager Jurgen Klopp is keen for him to get some first-team experience elsewhere. Paper Round's view: Only Watford (8) have scored fewer goals than Crystal Palace (11) in the league so far this season, while Aston Villa are light in options up front, so a move to either side would make perfect sense for Brewster.
Sheffield Wednesday haven’t really enjoyed much success in this competition in recent years, not making it past the fifth round since 1997 but they are enjoying a good season this year, sitting just a point outside the playoffs at just gone the halfway point. Last season, Wednesday beat Luton Town in a third round replay before being beaten by Chelsea in the fourth round. Their run this year gets off to a little harder start but their impressive league form means the playing field is a little more level.
Despite having a scoring ratio of 0.20 goals per game on the road this season, Setubal haven’t been getting beaten heavily. The visitors have only conceded seven goals in their five away games and just 40% of those matches have produced over 1.5 goals, so they can be frustratingly difficult to break down at times.
Both Flamengo and Al Hilal are playing in this tournament for the first time and while Al Hilal already have a taste of this competition, Flamengo will be playing their first ever game. Both sides will be bringing on board an array of World Class stars and we expected an entertaining game here. Two factors stand out here; the two sides have been scoring a lot and consistently. They also have long unbeaten runs and are top performers in their leagues. Based on the number of goals these side have scored lately, we will go with over 2.5 goals for this clash.

Paris St-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel says the club "do not lack respect" for Edinson Cavani after the striker's father accused the French champions of treating his son "unfairly". Cavani has asked to leave PSG with Atletico Madrid having made an approach for the 32-year-old Uruguay striker. PSG beat Reims 3-0 in the French League Cup on Wednesday with Cavani missing. It is a shame that he could not be here with us, he did not feel good with his groin," said Tuchel.

Shakhtyor will host Slutsk for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts are favorites in this game. Shakhtyor have advantage at home stadium. Also, Shakhtyor are more ambitious team in this league. True, the hosts have a poor results in this new campaign. Perhaps, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Slutsk who's is very average team in this league. However, Slutsk are in better shape at the start of the new season. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task. However, this is a very unpredictable league. My pick - Slutsk to win.
Shearer: "He wasn't great at kicking, which is a huge part of the game now, but he worked hard and was a brilliant professional. David James James has saved more penalties (13) than any other keeper in Premier League historyPremier League appearances: 572Clean sheets: 169Shearer: "He made hundreds of appearances and had great longevity. To be around for that amount of time, you have to be a good goalkeeper.
Sportivo Luqueno have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches. They have won only once in their last 6 matches as well. They really need to win this match to climb the table and get themselves out from the bottom of the table. Their last draw came against Libertad and they managed 18 points from 19 matches in this season.
Chelsea struck a significant blow in the fight for the top four places in the Premier League with a fully deserved victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. In a confrontation billed as a battle between Frank Lampard and his old mentor Jose Mourinho, Spurs could have leapfrogged Chelsea with victory but were outplayed and are now adrift by four points. Lampard made four changes from the team that lost 2-0 at home to Manchester United on Monday and they paid rich dividends as they all made a contribution to only their second win in seven league games.
Michel Hidalgo, who led France to their first major trophy at Euro 1984, has died aged 87 of natural causes. Hidalgo had been ill for a number of years and his family told a French radio station he had died "naturally of exhaustion" at home in Marseille. Hidalgo was coach of Les Bleus from 1976 to 1984, leaving the job after hosts France beat Spain 2-0 in the final of the European Championship. Two years before, France lost to West Germany in the World Cup semi-finals.
Jose Mourinho’s honeymoon period at Tottenham Hotspur seems well and truly over now, with his new club hitting some rough times over the last few weeks. Most recently, they were held at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup to make it one win in five in all competitions, but the problems extend beyond mere results.
And yet it was the defensive frailties that characterise their play that allowed Spurs through the door and to the win. Lacazette's brilliant finish gave Arsenal the early advantage but, at a time when Arteta would have been looking for them to consolidate, they quickly ushered Spurs back in when confused defending gave Son the opportunity to chip Martinez for the equaliser. And when they had enough control to think they would earn at least a point, Arsenal were undone by a routine set piece as Alderweireld glanced in Son's corner.
Australia's last brush with Argentina was at the 2008 Beijing Olympics where an Arnold-coached side were beaten 1-0 by the Lionel Messi-inspired champions in the group phase. Australia lost a 2007 friendly 1-0 to Argentina in front of a crowd of 70,000 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and were beaten 4-2 by the South Americans at the 2005 Confederations Cup.
Meanwhile, Monchengladbach are currently in third place in the Bundesliga's away form table, despite playing fewer away games than all but three other teams. They have won four of their six Bundesliga away games this season.
Soccer has survived in only a few countries around the world with matches from less glamorous leagues in Belarus, Nicaragua and Burundi helping action-starved fans to break their boredom. The Belarus Football Federation has already got deals with sports networks in more than 10 countries, including Russia, Israel, India and even Bulgaria.
Saturday's hosts have also done an excellent job of restricting teams at home, conceding an average of just 2.2 shots on target. Such an average can be bettered by only two of the other 22 teams in the division.
At the moment it is not nice. West Ham manager David Moyes to Sky Sports: "I've only just seen it [the opening goal] and I can't believe they've ruled that as a goal. Any handball is disallowed? That's the rule. Who is on VAR tonight? Not very good eh?"Those are the rules, it's not a particularly good rule but I can't believe it. We had a goal disallowed at Sheffield United for the same rule. I thought the team worked really hard, we made it difficult for Tottenham, there were a lot of good things I can take from the game but it's the points we needed.
The previous meeting between these two sides this season saw Fortuna leave with a 3-1 victory. We expect Saturday's fixture to see a similarly high scoring contest. Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals on too many occasions to ignore for this meeting. We are backing over 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
LIVE: Astana vs Manchester United Manchester United have named their youngest ever XI for a European match, excluding qualifiers. Follow their progress in the Kazakh capital here.

But it will be the two VAR decisions that will overshadow all else when they come to reflect, not because of the legitimacy of the two handballs or the accuracy of the technology in the decision-making, but the misfortune it represents. Both of the goals they scored - albeit different in nature - were ruled out for the a similar reason, but the second was far more costly than the first and came with an added sting in the tail.
Here is a Monday game of the Regionalliga SudWest. The SSV Ulm has an equal opponent with Offenbacher Kickers. The first view of the table shows Ulm on rank 5 and the Kickers on place 13. But Ulm has 25 points only 2 more points in the account than Kickers Offenbach (23). An away win of the Kickers would take the team past Ulm to fifth place.

The form side in the Belarus Premier League is BATE Borisov and they can make it five wins in a row. They are scoring goals left,right and centre and will look to get a confidence booster ahead of the weekend cup final, also against Dinamo Brest. Their away form was poor at the start of the season but they have won their last three in the league with plenty of goals. Dinamo Brest have already lost four times the number of defeats last season. Their form is patchy and they lost again at the weekend. Home form has been a struggle too and the bet here is for an away victory.
Newcastle come into this fixture off the back of a pleasing draw against the champions on Saturday. That result should leave the Magpies feeling confident, though a quick glance at their away form may negate such feelings.
The home team Viitorul Constanta only ranked 7th in the regular season rankings. Therefore, they must continue to participate in Relegation. After 2 matches, Viitorul Constanta got 1 win and 2 draws. Thereby get 24 points and still topped the chart. The next match will be returned to the home field, when Viitorul Constanta is expected to win a lot. This is possible when their opponent is only going to be CSM Politehnica Iasi.

tonight will be playing match between teams Tottenham and Olympiakos Piraeus. my prediction for this match is away team not to lose with more than 1 goal difference. 1st match in Greece have finished with draw result 2:2 but Olympiakos played much better than Tottenham and they deserved to win there but they hadn't enough luck. now, Tottenham will have home ground advantage and they have new coach- Mourinho, but I think they will concede goal here and maybe will win here 2:1 or 3:2, but also I think that away team have good chances to take 1 point here. good luck.
He later had a better chance to feed Fernandes, but such was his eagerness to get on the scoresheet in a Manchester derby he totally ignored his team-mate. Finally his efforts were rewarded by an impressive set-piece that was clearly manufactured on the training ground and appeared to catch Ederson by surprise. It looks like Martial is starting to believe he is part of United's future and not part of the past.
Eastleigh and Torquay will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League. Eastleigh this season have the following results: 7W, 8D and 6L. Meanwhile Torquay have 10W, 4D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
While Mitrovic, back from a one-game ban, again found the net, Kamara - keeping his place after scoring twice as a stand-in against QPR - equally caught the eye for the dominant hosts. The French striker, continuing his return from exile after being arrested following a training-ground clash in January, was at the heart of Fulham's best moves before limping off in the second half.
This is going to be a tough one to call, looking at the two sides’ recent forms and the fact that only two points separate them. Both sides are in great scoring and defensive form. One factor though is that they have played to high scoring matches in their previous meetings and here we will go with a bet of over 2.5 goals.
You might not see another goalkeeping performance like that this season. There was simply no way past him.

They zipped the ball around the pitch at a ferocious tempo, hassled, harried, kept a second consecutive clean sheet having conceded in their previous five games, and showed a finishing touch when it mattered. An impressive performance ahead of a testing run.

Let's start to think about Angola elite division. If we think about that there is not any fixed matches than this is away win. Also we must take in mind that for the first time we will have this league on all coupons in the world. Home side do far had just two wins in the league and 13 points won overall. From them you can't expect a lot. This team is main candidate for relegation. They are for many games without win. Visitors can't go up or down. With 38 points they are safe from relegation and far from top place. So they are better and they should win. Odds are excellent for away win.

Johnson was addressing a press conference alongside his chief medical and scientific advisers on Thursday. For the time being, mass gatherings of people will not be banned, as the Prime Minister said there is little medical need at this point to cancel events across the country. However, he admitted that sporting events could be postponed in the future due to the strain they can put on public services.
The Blues have faltered at the Bridge in recent weeks, losing to three sides near the relegation zone, and were struggling to break down a well-organised Burnley in the opening 25 minutes until Matt Lowton's reckless sliding tackle on Willian enabled Jorginho to open the scoring from the penalty spot. Visiting keeper Nick Pope then allowed Tammy Abraham's close-range header to evade his grasp and find the net to give the Blues a grip on the game before they had even got out of second gear.

Uefa would, of course, argue this case is very different to one involving Turkish football more than a decade ago. However, will it be prepared to take the risk of a defeat that would have major ramifications?This case has been hugely damaging for City. But there is real danger here for Uefa too, especially at a time when the grip of European football's governing body on the club game is under mounting strain.
Recently, the Millers have gone down hill in terms of results, as they've won none of their last four league games, two of which they've lost. That said, like Shrewsbury, they never receive a battering and are very good at keeping themselves in games. Rotherham haven't lost by more than a single goal since the second weekend of the campaign. Moreover, they've been good at picking up points on the road, winning six, drawing two and losing three of their 11 travelling matches.
