In fact, Potter has made them a tighter outfit, conceding 1. Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy were the mainstays in central defence back then, but this season it has been Dunk and £20m signing Adam Webster. Both acted as barricades on Sunday, repelling Burnley's physical attack and aerial assaults. Dunk was particularly outstanding and made a superb block to deny Kevin Long. With centre-back Ben White set to return to the south coast from a very successful loan spell at Leeds, expect Brighton to be even tougher to break down next season.
Still, tough one for Chelsea nonetheless. When the draw was made back in December this might have looked like a pretty sweet deal for Chelsea, given that Bayern were wobbling and although their form had started to turn, they were still exceeding expectations. But now things have tailed off a little and Bayern are Bayern again, having taken 25 from their last available 27 points in the league and by all accounts playing sensational football.

The odds are raising a lot for the hosts but it it with right. Wurzburger are in a very good shape lately but that doesn't oppose to mean anything is the reality is that Wurzburger Kickers are not a good team actually. As a matter of fact they have the same quality as Magdeburg. Guests are in very bad position as they are at 15th place and will have to face a tough battle to avoid relegation, but despite the results Magdeburg is showing a very good performances lately. At the previous round they lost from K'lautern but they had control over the game but didn't take advantage of their chances and K;lauter won with that goal that got scored at 4th minute. I see even match here even and Magdeburg are my favorites but I think Wurzburger will manage to defend himself well...
You reach one of the biggest moments that you can achieve in football, you are one step away from it but could not do it. I cannot imagine that is easy. But you have the example of Liverpool. They lost the Premier League by one point and they lost the Champions League by one goal, the next season they are very strong in the Premier League and they won the Champions League.
Bruce added: "We're like everybody else, we're glued to the TV for where it's going to go next and let's hope it doesn't get any worse in this country.

Norwich City are the second worst home team in the league with a 3-3-6 record so far this season. Despite the poor record at home, they have failed to score in only 1 home game this season. But in 10 of the 12 games they also conceded at least 2 goals.
TUESDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Video - Manchester United target Spanish star in €150m bid to fix midfield – Euro Papers01:12 12:45 - Pepe is adapting A bit from Freddie Ljungberg here after Arsenal's front three all scored last night, particularly Nicolas Pepe, the club's record signing who has underwhelmed so far.
Los Leones were undone by an inspired hat-trick from veteran winger Joaquin and despite their best efforts, goals from Inaki Williams and Yuri weren't quite enough to salvage a point for Gaizka Garitano's side.
Liverpool’s second seven minutes into the second half, which effectively put the game to bed, was sublime in the extreme, as Salah sumptuously set up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to score his seventh goal of the season. Trent Alexander-Arnold did almost score a comical own goal to give West Ham a lifeline, but Liverpool otherwise strolled to the victory which takes their points tally to a colossal 70, before the end of January, while the Hammers remain in trouble down in 17th.
I'm OK, just a kick on my knee, I'm fine. Midfielder Rodri has his first major honour with his new side having joined in the summer, and acknowledge Villa were tough opponents. Rodri grabbed the side's second for what proved to be the winner. We know they are a really tough team because they are really tall and strong, so we knew we could never give up.
Jack Grealish has had a direct hand in 13 goals in the Premier League this season (7 goals & 6 assists), five more than the next Villa player and more than any other English midfielder. The Aston Villa midfielder has provided more assists in all competitions in 2019-20 than he has in any other season in his career (8). Son became the first Asian player in Premier League history to reach 50 goals in the competition (51 in total after his brace).
The Clarets have not got much depth to their squad right now, for various reasons, and I think West Ham will move a little closer to safety with a win here. I always thought the Hammers' players were too good to be where they are in the table. It looks like they have managed to find the right formula at the right time. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Joel's prediction: 2-2 Brighton v Liverpool (20:15 BST)Liverpool were short of their best against Aston Villa on Sunday - I know Reds boss Jurgen Klopp made changes, but their passing wasn't great.
So what else did they talk about?Whether being hyped so young helped or hindered himWalcott, then a raw 17-year-old, was named in England's 2006 World Cup squad by Sven-Goran Eriksson. I had to grow up pretty fast in a man's game," says Walcott, whose most recent club appearances had been for Southampton in the Championship. Speaking about his World Cup experience he says he was constantly thinking, 'what am I doing here?'Walcott took a camcorder with him to Germany and says he was "a bit like a tourist" as he filmed "any old rubbish".
And quite rightly. Did you know? Liverpool dropped more points in the eight games in which Henderson didn't play this season (8 - W5 D1 L2) than the 30 games in which the Liverpool skipper did feature (7 - W27 D2 L1). Sterling: Here is another player who needs to be winning trophies on a regular basis, like his team-mate Kevin de Bruyne. Raheem Sterling's improvement as a footballer under Guardiola has been quite phenomenal.
The 28-year-old midfielder joins Montreal, who are managed by Arsenal great Thierry Henry, having scored seven goals in 97 appearances for Spurs in all competitions after joining the London side from Southampton in 2016.

Millwall will host West Bromwich Albion for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors will try to make a positive result. Of course, this will not be an easy job. In any case, WBA is one of the best teams in this campaign. I think, they have the potential to pick up the victory. Also, we have Millwall who's is very average team in this league. True, Millwall is better team at home. They have three consecutive victories. So, I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Both teams tend to score a goal. West Brom have an effective attack. I think, they will closer to victory.
It is the tale of one of football's unlikeliest odysseys that started in Vilnius on 30 July 2009 and ended 286 days later and 820 miles away in Hamburg - the journey that took Fulham to the 2010 Europa League final. The west London club's season in the sun as one of European football's high rollers - culminating in an unlikely final appearance exactly 10 years ago - will be remembered forever by everyone who witnessed it.

Gerard Deulofeu has had more carries ending in an effort on goal than any other player this season with 17, although he has only scored twice.

Harry Kane passed 200 club goals in his career as Tottenham Hotspur beat Newcastle United to boost their Europa League qualification hopes. The victory - which takes Spurs up to seventh - is the first time Jose Mourinho has won a Premier League game at St James' Park in his eighth attempt.

Astra did defeat CFR Cluj with 3-2 at home this season but CFR had two players sent-off and scored their 2nd goal in just 9 men. At home CFR has 9 wins in a row in the league conceding just once and scoring plenty of goals, they won 7 of those last 9 home wins by at least 2 goals difference many times even by 3 or more goals difference as well.
Match of Italian Cup where Parma will play with Frosinone . Guests are in the middle part of rankings (Seria B ) . They did 2 wins and defeat at last 3 matches played. Parma did a draw and defeat at last matches . Yes, they are representing Seria A. But very often in countrys cup matches strong teams are playing without main players.

I recommend to try this bet with me .
Situations like this demand quick and exceptional responses," CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez said in a statement.

Whenever I have had any free time I have travelled to Rome to get to know it better because it is immense. My intention has always been to create good groups. A football team should be like a family, probably because that is what I had always lived. What is his secret?Getafe's ranks consist of many players from the lower leagues, and some were considering giving the sport up and getting day jobs. Jorge Molina was on the verge of making use of his PE teacher qualification, while fellow forward Jaime Mata was all set to start work as a customs officer when Getafe stepped in to rescue their careers.
I feel connection with ‘To Dare Is To Do’. Tomorrow is a time to give everything. We win or we leave everything we have on that pitch. Tottenham’s motto is usually just something that you see on their badge or is read out in a sonorous voice over the PA before their games, but apparently Jose is going to use it as some sort of rallying cry as they try to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
That's my plan and now its for the players to carry it out. The Hammers turned to Moyes on Sunday after sacking Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, who had been in charge for 18 months.

The EFL passed the change in ownership, a point that is likely to be used as a central component of Wigan's appeal against their points deduction. Au Yeung Wai Kay, who heads Wigan's new owner Next Leader Fund, claims it had "invested more than £40m" in the club and blamed the coronavirus pandemic for the decision to put them into administration. The petition states: "The recent news that Wigan Athletic was being put into administration just weeks after new owners were approved by the EFL must lead to a review of the effectiveness of the owners' and directors' test and its use by the EFL.

Brisbane Roar have now gone three games without a loss, a run of results that has seen them climb four points clear of bottom club, Newcastle Jets. Their form prior to that saw them lose three in four and their change in fortunes has been a major help in keeping them in touch with the top six and the potential of final series football in October.
European champions Liverpool lead Group E on 10 points with Napoli a point behind and Salzburg on seven. Juergen Klopp's side are away to Salzburg in their final game while Napoli host bottom club Genk. Dries Mertens put Napoli ahead in the 21st minute with a sweet strike from a tight angle after running on to a through-ball from Giovanni Di Lorenzo.
It was always going to be an uphill battle for Olympiacos, who at times have performed credibly. The Greek outfit will be disappointed not to have done slightly better, but by winning this home match they can still secure a place in the Europa League knockout rounds, so they've still got something to play for.
There's nothing wrong with him," he added. The player was asymptomatic but, as per Premier League protocols, will continue to self-isolate until he tests negative with the league. Speaking to the Beautiful Game podcast, Webber said: "He's actually done an independent test with our doctor which has come back negative, which is confusing. Now he's got to have a third test to see if that comes back negative and to check if he's got antibodies, which could prove that he has had it in the past but doesn't have it now.
Do I know anybody who is? No. Is he unbelievably important to us? Yes. A wonderful array of qualities you need as a midfielder'Henderson's reliability is one of the things that makes him stand out - he is an extremely consistent performer. His athleticism is a big reason for that. It allows him to maintain his levels for the full 90 minutes. But there is more to his game than just having high energy and being a player who is always full of running.
Only Norwich (16) and Watford (14) have failed to score in more different Premier League games than Palace this season (13). However, having earned enough points now to remain in the division for another year, largely thanks to what is usually an extremely robust defence, such attacking issues are ones Hodgson has at least one - albeit shortened - off-season to rectify.
What he says is about himself and not Arsenal," said ex-Gunners boss Wenger. Mesut Ozil has freedom of speech like everyone else and he uses his notoriety to express his opinions, which are not necessarily shared by everybody. What's important is that Ozil has an individual responsibility. He doesn't have to carry the word of Arsenal Football Club. When you make a comment about your individual opinion you accept the consequences of it.
Defensa y Justicia will be looking for all three points when they do. The home side come into this game in 17th place with 14 points and whilst title chances have long since evaporated, they are trying to hold out hope for a play-off place, but they are currently 7 points adrift of that objective.
