Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says finally being able to lift the Premier League trophy will be "like Christmas". The Reds will be presented with the long-awaited silverware following their league match with Chelsea at Anfield on Wednesday. It's been a really long run-up to this. We have been champions for a month now," said Klopp. It's a bit like Christmas - you know you're getting a specific present but you are still excited.
Managua got off to a good start in the Nicaragua league this season with 19 points after the first 9 rounds. With this score, they are 2nd in the rankings. In the round of the 10th match, Managua was returned to his home team to welcome Juventus Managua, the 7th place team in the standings with 9 points. Thanks to the advantage of the pitch, Managua is highly appreciated by experts. Managua won against the opponent in the first leg of the season and now they maintain a 3-match home win. The ability to lose points of the home team is not small because Juventus Managua is showing very uncomfortable defensive play. Remarkably, in the last 2 matches, Managua was held in a draw.
St Polten and Admira will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. St Polten this season have the following results: 4W, 9D and 11L. Meanwhile Admira have 4W, 7D and 13L.

December's 0-0 El Clasico stalemate at Camp Nou was a decent result for Real Madrid, however, further draws against Valencia (1-1) and Athletic Bilbao (0-0) on the run up to Christmas mean Los Blancos are now playing catch-up with arch-rivals Barcelona in the La Liga title race.
LIVERPOOL TAKE ON INVINCIBLE AURA So powerful is the aura Liverpool have built up this season that, even when not playing anywhere near their best, they are simply brushing teams aside, apparently in cruise control. Southampton gave Juergen Klopp's side a proper fight for most of Saturday's clash at Anfield, yet still lost 4-0 with Mohamed Salah's late double putting a gloss on the scoreline.
Koln spent most of this season inside the relegation zone as 3 rounds ago they had just 8 points won all season but since then they won their last 3 games in the league in the ending of last year and they were not really easy games either defeating Leverkusen at home, Frankfurt on the road and Werder Bremen at home as well, while Wolfsburg is indeed a first hal of the league table team, but really do not have some world class players at their disposal and I will favor the hosts here.

Five minutes later, Jancker hit the bar with an overhead kick from close range. By then Bayern had substituted Matthaus, who had almost nothing left. After 75 minutes I told the coach I was feeling tired,” he said in FourFourTwo. I’d been making different runs in midfield than when I’d played sweeper, where I didn’t have to run as much.

The SPFL has written to member clubs urging them to vote against Rangers' resolution for an independent inquiry into the process to end the season. Rangers, Hearts and Stranraer have forced an EGM on Tuesday at which clubs will vote, with 75% support needed. The league has also moved to rebut several claims made in a dossier released by the Ibrox club on Thursday. Among those is the assertion that clubs were not told of a potential £10m liability to sponsors and broadcasters.
Nine of the last ten Ferroviario games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Four of the last six Progresso games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.

That is really depressing, and it shows just how much they have declined. United were booed off after their 2-0 home defeat by Burnley on Wednesday, a night that also featured protests against the club's American owners. While they remain fifth in the Premier League, they are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and have lost three of their last four league games.
In my report I was critical of some decision that Everton manager David Moyes had made. When my report had finished, I turned around to find Moyes standing two feet behind me, staring at me with those piercing blue eyes. He had heard the entire thing. The tunnel at Goodison is the tightest in the top flight. There was nowhere for me to escape. Smiles from Moyes and Souness. Conor's post-match interviewMost dramatic end to a gameUruguay v Ghana at the 2010 World Cup.
Zero: Jürgen Klopp Have to have some sympathy, of course. He’s just been mugged in front of all his friends by a Tom Waits lookalike. But remember, kids, there’s no such thing as a proper way to play football. If you want to sit deep, play on the counter, and pivot from barfly crooning to hitting accordions with planks, you go for it.
Denmark 2-0 Germany (1992) Media playback is not supported on this device Archive: Denmark v Germany - Euro 1992 Denmark were ready to go on their holidays when they got the call to compete at the tournament in place of Yugoslavia, who were disqualified because of the war in their country, and Richard Moller-Nielsen's side ended up going all the way with a shock win over Germany in the final. John Jensen, who joined Arsenal after the tournament, smashed the opening goal from the edge of the area into the roof of the net, while Kim Vilfort cut inside and drilled in a finish off the foot of the post to stun the world champions.
Lampard said he "regrets" his language. Liverpool win Anfield thriller against ChelseaKlopp, whose side cantered to the Premier League title this term, says he respects the Chelsea manager's competitiveness but was unhappy that Lampard chose to continue his complaints after the match. Frank was in really competitive mood, I respect that a lot. For me, after the game, it's completely over," he said.
Every time we meet with the football authorities we are being very clear and asking them for updates on where they're getting in terms of actions. I think what it might possibly take is some prosecutions. We need to, ideally, see the Crown Prosecution Service taking these cases forward and bringing people to book and that may very well have an impact. World Cup 2030 bid a 'work in progress'The sports minister also confirmed ongoing talks on a "potential bid" for the United Kingdom and Ireland to host the World Cup in 2030, though he has called for a more "transparent" bidding process after the controversy that surrounded England's failed attempt to host the 2018 tournament.
The defending champions will be fired up to show everyone they are better than that. For Leicester, it is chance to prove otherwise - but I am expecting the home side to win. At the same time City play the Foxes, Liverpool face Brazilian side Flamengo in Doha in the Club World Cup final. It will be tight but I am backing the Reds because they have become completely clinical," added Lawro. People are still saying they are not playing very well but they carry on winning - what more do you want?"Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.
Esposito then added Inter's third from a penalty in the 64th minute, his first goal for the club. Lukaku had the final say in the 71st minute when he collected the ball outside the area, moved forward, skipped past a defender and rifled a left-foot shot in off the crossbar for his 12th league goal of the season.
Despite a moderate league position, Shrewsbury are a very tough team to face. They rarely dazzle, while they don't score an abundance of goals, but they keep themselves in games and rarely give lots away. At home, the Shrews have won three of their last five at home, beating good sides such as Sunderland, Peterborough and Coventry. Moreover, the only teams to leave New Meadow with victory this term, currently occupy a place in the top eight, which is a far cry from where Lincoln are.

Neman Grodno will host Ruh Brest for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. In my opinion, this will be tense match. In any case, the hosts will try to get the victory because they are constantly closer to the relegation zone. Also, the visitors have a very difficult task. Ruh Brest have less potential in attack. They are not convincing team. Ruh Brest have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. I expect, another one tough match for both sides. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.
Troy Deeney scored twice as Watford overcame a red card to Adrian Mariappa to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in a big game at the bottom of the table.

The UK, France and Spain will look inside mostly because it makes things easier for the players, their families, even for the agents, to travel around. Imagine if I bring one player to PSG and the same day I need to come back to London or Portugal and they obligate me to stay in quarantine. Fellow agent Marcelino Elena, the ex-Newcastle, Mallorca and Spain defender, added: "The biggest clubs will spend extra money to get the players they want because they can but for the rest, who have to look at every coin they spend, it's a huge difficulty.
But Howe's men were dealt a sucker punch when West Ham took the lead, and suffered another blow soon after when they had a penalty appeal reviewed, and then denied, by VAR following an Angelo Ogbonna tackle. The wind was truly taken out of their sails when they went 2-0 behind, unable to do anything to deny Haller's acrobatics, and then 3-0 down, although Rico did force Lukasz Fabianski into a decent save in the closing stages of the first half.
Kane previously said Tottenham had found a "proven winner" in Mourinho as they bid to end an 11-year title drought. The former Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United boss has claimed 25 major honours, but that record will be put to the test at Spurs, who have not won a title since the 2008 League Cup.
The 30-year-old will be fulfilling a lifelong ambition, having grown up in Nigeria as a United supporter. Ighalo has joined United on loan from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season but Solskjaer is not ruling out a permanent transfer. When you are in the door, it gives you a chance," he said. If you impress as a player and a person and help the group improve, of course there's a chance we'll look at extending things and signing.
The latter crossed after Stuart Armstrong broke through the middle and fed him, but Kurt Zouma and Antonio Rudiger eventually cleared. As the half hour mark passed, though, the Saints, who had left 11-goal striker Danny Ings on the bench, took the lead through Michael Obafemi. He picked the ball up just outside the area and used his body to create space before beating Kepa with a curling shot.
The 1-1 draw with Young Boys last night saw them finish runners-up in their group, so they won't be seeded.

TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Arsenal ease through with win over Portsmouth This has generally been a season when things haven’t gone to plan, up and down the Premier League and beyond. So, with apologies to Portsmouth fans out there, it was almost reassuring to see a game go entirely to plan, with no alarms, no surprises and the team that was expected to win, actually win.

But Professor James Calder - who has chaired the cross-sport working group with government and health officials on the return to sport - has told BBC Sport that sports events are highly unlikely to have full capacity crowds this year. I would be very surprised if we could get full stadia back this year," he said. Realistically I think it probably will need a vaccine and also a high take-up rate of that vaccine before we can really see full capacity stadia.
