Pep Guardiola says Aymeric Laporte is the "best left-sided central defender in the world" after he returned from injury to help Manchester City beat Sheffield United. The 25-year-old was making his first start for 143 days after suffering a knee injury in August. The Frenchman impressed and played 78 minutes in the Blues' 1-0 win. We missed him a lot - in terms of the fast pace, headers, build-up, he is an exceptional player," said Guardiola.

Both teams have scored in four of the last five BATE Borisov games. Both sides have scored in each of the three league games played by Slavia this season. Five of the last six BATE Borisov cup games have seen both teams get on the scoresheet. The Belarus Premier League takes a step aside for the first legs of the Belarus Cup semi-finals.
They passed the test with no apparent problems. A source familiar with previous decisions told BBC Sport the takeover is likely to go through because the Premier League cannot act as moral arbiter on owners. It will only base its verdict on infringements that have been proven. It will be difficult to reach that threshold with many of the allegations levelled at Saudi Arabia, and the case against the Newcastle takeover is not helped by the UK government's trade deals with the country.
There is a lot of factors and I remember when we discussed Salzburg and different clubs we figured out very early that Salzburg was the best option. And I’ve always thought ‘I can’t overrate myself’. That has always been important to me, saying ‘yes, I’m good, but there’s a lot of good players out there’ so that has always been very important to me, to not think that I’m better than I actually am.

Unfortunately, it didn't work out the next season," Siewert says. It's different in pre-season when you're not under pressure. I really felt it would take time with this team. After a winless start to the Championship season, the final straw proved to be a 1-0 Carabao Cup defeat at home by League One's Lincoln City. Siewert was criticised for fielding an inexperienced side containing seven debutants.
What is closed doors? Juventus beat Inter Milan 2-0 in Serie A on Sunday - but no fans where in the stadium to witness itEarlier this season, Wolverhampton Wanderers played a Europa League tie against Slovan Bratislava behind closed doors, but there was a crowd of 20,333. This was because European football's governing body Uefa refused to let Slovan sell tickets for the fixture as punishment for racism by their supporters - but they were allowed to give them away to children.

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford played as though he was "back on the playground" in his match-winning display against Tottenham, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Rashford's double means he has now scored nine goals in his last 10 games for United. However, it was his overall display which caught the eye. That is what the Stretford End wants to see," said Solskjaer. They love to see forwards play with courage.
But Rogic struck to earn the point that edges Neil Lennon's side further clear of Rangers, who were beaten at home by Hamilton Academical. It was the first time in 12 domestic games that Celtic have failed to win and the second time this season that they have been unable to do so at the Tony Macaroni, after losing 2-0 there in October. Gary Holt's Livingston, meanwhile, are now six points off third-place Motherwell.
The midfielder was initially expected to miss only two months, but his recovery was slowed by a setback. Solskjaer admitted he was now not sure if the 26-year-old record signing would be back before the New Year. No. Too early," said the Norwegian when asked if Pogba could be involved in Thursday's final Europa League group match at home against AZ Alkmaar. We hope 2019. United have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League and will secure top spot in their group with a draw or better.
Football's future is uncertainOne thing that seems certain is that this has changed the whole landscape of football, in terms of salaries and future transfer fees. I hope that does not mean we will see some clubs going to the wall. The advance from the Premier League will, I hope, help the lower leagues survive this unprecedented period - but at the moment no-one knows when we will get back to playing again.
They came here with a clear order to win it and come back home as heroes. We got told to stay at home and play in the Carabao Cup. That is a massive difference. We cannot change that but we are here and my team wants to win the competition, even though we know it is very difficult because the other team is really good.

It was the least Fulham deserved for their relentless first-half pressure, with the absence of injured top goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic perhaps telling as Scott Parker's side squandered at least three guilt-edged opportunities. Ivan Cavaleiro and Josh Onomah were most guilty, both failing to hit the target when well placed, while Denis Odoi deflected Hayden Coulson's cross on to his own crossbar on a rare foray forward from Boro.

They could lose four successive away matches in all competitions for the first time since April 2012 under Kenny Dalglish.

We said he must've fallen asleep, he wasn't in his house… this guy, he went to a party the night before and on the way back he just dropped on the side of the road.

Max Bird played like he's been in the team for five years. It's fantastic to see. Morgan Whittaker came on too and he made an impact. Rooney has so much quality and experience, so I am glad he is here. He is fit and would be ready to go, but needs a few games to build his minutes up.

In terms of money, each of those decisions will be worth tens of millions of pounds. Clubs may litigate to resolve any perceived unfairness or contractual ambiguity, for example. Players may do the same over lost earnings if contracts do not cover these circumstances. Ticket sales bring in hundreds of millions of pounds and may be lost entirely.
