Zidane courts Mbappe ahead of PSG meeting Zinedine Zidane has re-stoked rumours Real Madrid will make a move for Kylian Mbappe ahead of Paris Saint Germain's trip to the Bernabeu in the Champions League. The La Liga side have long been linked with a move for the France World Cup-winner, and the manager was tickled into declaring his on-going affection for the player by reporters in the build-up to Tuesday's game.
City fans appear to have no right to celebrate the past two season because this one has been such a disappointment – favourites for the Champions League though they are. Success’ as we know it in football has changed and it is becoming more and more unattainable. This is a symptom of the gap between the super-rich and the rest.
These two teams relegated from the first league level together last season, and at this moment Maccabi is dominating the second league level while Sakhnin is fighting to end the normal season inside the top 8 places and give themselves some chances to promote from that championship group, but 1st placed so far is clearly going the way of Maccabi who is undefeated in all games in the league this season and are yet to fail to score a goal in their games.

Liverpool continue to keep getting the wins and have an eight-point lead at the top of the English Premier League. They have an incredible record at Anfleld and look to repeat the win they had over Napoli last season and win the group. A bad result could cause major problems for them though, so they will be fully focussed on this match. Napoli struggle on their travels and have gone six matches without a victory slipping to seventh in Serie A. Go for Liverpool to get the home win in this game.

Walter Ferreti is having some outstanding scoring games recently, with 7:0 win and also 2:1 losing in the previous round. However, when face tough defensive rival, like Esteli, they could go down with the score and play more defensive match.
It's good to have Jose back, especially for you guys," said Solskjaer. Maybe for me as well because you can talk and write about everything else. Tottenham's trip to Old Trafford for a Premier League game on 4 December will provide an unavoidable link between Solskjaer and the man he replaced, initially on a temporary basis, in the middle of last season. Pochettino's name will be a longer lasting distraction.
There were suggestions something was not right early in the match when midfielder Oliver Norwood lost possession far too easily on a couple of occasions before Egan got caught up in an unnecessary altercation with Joelinton which earned him a yellow card. That became two yellows for the Irishman in the 50th minute when he got on the wrong side of the striker, who he pulled back as he tried to run in on goal.

We have to be sensible. I have to see the session today before I make a decision. Virgil van Dijk is available for selection after he pulled out of the Netherlands squad for the match against Estonia in midweek.
Leipzig were in a class of their own in the win over Tottenham in the Champions League and seem to have found their best after a short lull. They have three straight clean sheets going to this game but they have not been very sharp away from home in recent matches. Looking at Schalke’s home record, we feel Leipzig will struggle to assert their authority here. A draw will be a good bet for this one.
West Ham stayed in contention but Perez restored Leicester's two-goal lead from the spot after 81 minutes and rubbed salt into the Hammers' wounds with a second goal in the 88th minute.

While the visitors have been pretty free-scoring in the league, they have 43 goals in 27 games, this attacking play can leave them pretty open at the back and this is demonstrated perfectly by the fact that they have seen both teams score in 69% of their away matches. It is not as if they are tightening things up either as they have conceded two goals or more in each of their last four away matches.
An expected points table by Understat - a site dedicated to expected goals stats - has them seventh as opposed to 17th.

The basement boys looking for an escape A few weeks ago, few would have given Espanyol, Mallorca or Leganes any hope of escaping the La Liga relegation zone.

But everything was going through Fernandes on Sunday and he was very comfortable with that. He was telling his team-mates what he wanted and he looks like a leader as well, so that is another thing he brings to the table that United needed. For his goal, I liked the fact that straight after he was fouled he was saying, 'Give me the ball, I want the penalty'. And the way he took a little skip before casually stroking home the penalty was more proof that he has got a bit of arrogance about him.
Marcos Alonso quickly extended Chelsea's lead at the restart with a low piledriver into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box. There was a moment of real controversy moments later as Giovani Lo Celso appeared to stamp on Azpilicueta, but it went unpunished with VAR deeming there to be no foul.
Hradec is in the fight for the second or the third spot in the league, which should bring the playoff for the promotion. They are playing well, with few draw games that could be better with the rivals from the lower part of the table.

I saw a mature player," said Corini when asked about Balotelli's performance. Sometimes he drops off a bit but I want him connected for the whole game. If he learns to play collectively, he'll have even more fun. Balotelli was asked about a possible Italy recall for Euro 2020. Everyone wants to play in the European championship but for me the important thing is to save Brescia.
