John Coleman's had a pretty dismal October, but over the last five or six weeks, Stanley have steadily improved. They started November by holding a very strong Coventry side on the road, while they've since lost just one out of five. They've won each of their last two at home, scoring 11 in the process, beating a Portsmouth side that are no mugs. Such form should mean that Stanley approach this fixture feeling upbeat.
With Scotland international Scott McTominay one of United's best performers of the season and both Fred and Nemanja Matic improving as the campaign went along, the midfield area - once a weakness - has become a strength. Any of them would be capable of playing a full season as a regular at Manchester United so it's given me a nice challenge to pick the right ones against the right opponents," said Solskjaer.

Oshmyany will host Slonim for this fixture of the league. I think, both sides have the motivation to get a positive result. However, both teams are in poor shape in the last matches. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Oshmyany have advantage at home stadium. True, Oshmyany have better results in the last mutual matches - 2 losses in a row. In any case, the hosts will try to break the poor series. Slonim are more vulnerable in recent times. They have three consecutive losses. Also, I think, this is a very unpredictable league. My pick - Oshmyany to win.

The hosts are indeed in the relegation group but if you ask me they have too much quality in their side to be ending up in the bottom 3 clubs there for example simply had no problems defeating Chindia last round in the league at home scoring an early goal and could have easily scored more goals, while against stronger opponents before the league was divided they drew 2-2 at home with Sepsis game in which they were 1-0 and 2-1 down but got a 2-2 draw as their attack is scoring goals.

Atletico Madrid’s record at the Santiago Bernabeu was reflective of something bigger. For generations, they’d been the second team in their own city, but under Diego Simeone the football landscape in Spain’s capital shifted. Atleti’s unbeaten streak in La Liga games against Real Madrid, a run which stretched all the way back to December 2012, demonstrated this.
We are in contact with the authorities and listening to that advice, while also representing club views in those discussions. He said "a really strong collective will to complete the season remains" but admitted that "curtailment" of the season was discussed for the first time at the meeting.

Wednesday finished in the top seven three times in the first five seasons of the Premier League between 1992 and 1997.

Messi, who never really wanted to go, stayed. The much-publicised tax evasion trials took an enormous toll on both him and his family and also left him close to wanting to leave not just Barcelona, but also Spain. But once everything had been sorted out and he returned to training, he decided to stay, although at that time he could have had the pick of any club in the world, not least Manchester City where Pep Guardiola was about to take over.
Manchester United have been on the rise lately, and their 4-0 win over AZ in the Europa League, coming after wins over Tottenham and Manchester City is a real spur. They meet an unstable Everton, who have lost thrice in the last five matches. United have been dominant in this fixture and with their run of form we still feel they will win this. Manchester United are playing at home, where they have done well this season. Everton have not registered the best results away from home. While Everton have four losses in the last four away matches, United are unbeaten in 10 at home, with six wins. Manchester United have been scoring a plenty at home too; in the last five matches, they have scored 14. Everton on the other hand, are shipping in a lot away from home; they have conceded two or more in six of the last 10 away matches. We will thus go for a 2-0 win for Manchester United here.

Koln have a great run at home; in their last five matches, they won four. Of the four wins, they scored first and held off to win. On the other hand, Mainz have a poor run and interestingly, they have lost eight of the matches they conceded first. Added to their away run this season, it is clear Koln will be favorites here. We expect that Koln, with European ambitions ignited, will be well motivated for this game. On the other hand, Mainz will be under pressure to not just improve their away form, but also try and rise as far away from the drop zone as possible. Coming from the forced break though, we do not expect a lot of goals here given the limited time for training. We will go with a 1-0 win for home side Koln.
LKS Lodz will host Zaglebie Lubin for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Zaglebie is very average team.

Also, we have LKS Lodz who's is worst team in this league. They are currently on the 16th place with 17 points. Hosts have less potential. Also, they have a vulnerable defense. I believe, the visitors have a more offensive team. I expect, they tend to score a goal. I think, Zaglebie will closer to victory.

City took full control of proceedings after the restart and within 10 minutes of the second half Jesus had notched two more, both of which involved the super Foden and Benjamin Mendy down the left flank.

Most Newcastle fans would probably settle for a chance to compete at the top of the Premier League rather than a volatile period of spending which might not be sustainable. How have Newcastle fans reacted to Mike Ashley possibly leaving and the potential new owner's background? For many fans, the short answer to this is cautious joy. It says something about Newcastle fans' resentment towards Ashley that the human rights record of Saudi Arabia barely registered when news of the potential deal first broke in January.

For too long it seemed as if he was desperate to be a clone of his captain Steven Gerrard; trying to do everything, from long, raking passes to lung-busting last ditch tackles all the while trying to score from as far out as possible.
