Waiting for them are Brazilian side Flamengo, who boast two of the competition's top scorers in Gabriel Barbosa and Bruno Henrique. It's the first time since 1988 that the tournament will be decided in a one-off game and in a neutral venue as the organisers look to market the competition to a global audience.

Bradford have not exactly been the team to beat since their relegation last season but they are in decent form and have won four of their last seven league matches. The hosts are also particularly strong on home soil and their 19 points at Valley Parade represents the joint best return in the division.
Blackburn Rovers will host Fulham for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors will try to make a positive result on the opposite stadium. Fulham are more ambitious team in this campaign. They are currently on the 3rd place with 52 points. They probably want to stay in the race for higher range. Also, we have Blackburn who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 10th place with 44 points. Yeah, the hosts are undefeated in their last 4 matches. However, this will not be an easy task. In any case, this will be a very tense match. My pick - Fulham to win.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti's Napoli are second in Group E, a point behind Liverpool, and are not yet assured of qualification for the last 16 with two games to go. But Klopp said playing away from Italy may give the players a welcome break. I expect Napoli to be really strong for a number of reasons. They are a really good football team.
If Chelsea are serious about a top-four place they need to get a top-class goalkeeper. They should take a serious look at Newcastle's Martin Dubravka. Did you know? Rudiger became the first Chelsea centre-back to score twice in a Premier League match since John Terry against Fulham in April 2013. Yerry Mina: It's rather unusual to pick a defender for scoring goals rather than his team coming away with a clean sheet.
Revell already knows what that future looks like, for Hummel at least. He has already signed off on the company's 2020-21 shirts. The design process for each kit generally starts around 15 months before launch to allow time to whittle 40-odd different concepts down to a final product to be manufactured. Fans will definitely recognise where next season's kits have come from and there are ideas for 2021-22 already in the pipeline.
We ran out of time and we didn't have the ideas towards the end to win it. We put pressure on them, put them on the back foot and if there was one team that was going to win it, it was us.

Sloga from Smiin Han, is Tuzla city from the premier league in Bosnia and despite going down in the second part of the league, they still have power to repeat good performance from the Fall, when team was among the top rivals in the competition.

Bayern, who had kept United at arm’s length with almost disdainful ease for most of the game, suddenly fell off a cliff. United created four opportunities in barely 90 seconds. Sheringham’s shot was saved by Kahn after a backheel from Solskjaer; Yorke headed Beckham’s cross too far in front of Sheringham and then missed an excellent chance, miskicking desperately after a low cross from Gary Neville.
Bournemouth are in deep trouble and look to be heading back to the Championship. Even a win at Goodison Park might not be good enough to get them out of the bottom three. Their away form is dreadful and they concede far too many goals. Everton were in the relegation zone at one time this season but have improved under Carlo Ancelotti. They will want to get back into the top ten next season though. Home form is good, though they have been drawing too many of late. Go for both teams to score in this game.
Jahanbakhsh, who was making his 27th appearance across 18 months, lashed home from Neal Maupay's lay-off. And Mooy scored a classy second from Leandro Trossard's cross.

There was plenty of effort and Newcastle raised their game in the second half when their debutants came on. However a lack of goal threat proved costly. They had scored three injury-time goals in their past two Premier League games but there were to be no late heroics this time. Norwich's class proves fruitless What Newcastle would do for a striker of Pukki's class, although this was a day when the forward found himself up against one of the league's leading goalkeepers in Dubravka.
Real Sociedad qualified especially for the Spanish Cup 4-3 against Real Madrid. She only has the Spanish Cup in her mind at the moment, as she played for the Primera Division despite some changes to her squad and dominated the Basque side 2-1.
It has been a simple, sustaining pleasure to relive and write about those glorious times while waiting for the action to resume, for another small sliver of normality to re-enter the lives of so many suddenly robbed of the pastime they love. Yes, it will all happen at 6pm on Wednesday in a giant, empty stadium just off the M6 at Birmingham but it will be a moment of huge significance. As those in our journalistic community exchanged messages waiting for football's return, recurring themes emerged.
Zwickau and Hansa Rostock will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga in Germany. Zwickau this season have the following results: 8W, 8D and 11L.

Defenders Joel Matip and Nathaniel Clyne have also been nursing injuries, but City have a busy treatment room too. Germany winger Leroy Sane and French defender Aymeric Laporte are expected to be out until around January and February, while Sergio Aguero is another big miss with a thigh injury. In addition, defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has not played for his club since 6 October because of knee damage.
Cometh the hour cometh Watford's talisman, though, as captain Deeney put a barren sequence of only one league goal in his previous 10 games behind him to make the contribution that could yet keep the Hornets in the top flight. The goals may have come from the penalty spot but the 32-year-old showed commendable nerve on both occasions, using his tried and trusted technique of sheer power to beat Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka for the first spot-kick then winning a battle of wits to deliver in similar style late on when the pressure was at its peak.
This time it was City who dug deep to level as Hemp held off Maren Mjelde to score the final goal of a thrilling game and secure a valuable point.

Municipal Vinto will host Always Ready for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors are favorites in this game. I think, the visitors want to get all three points. Always Ready are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 18 points. In previous game Always Ready is won 4-2 against Oriente Petrolero. Also, we have Municipal Vinto who's is very average team in this season. Vento are currently on the the place with 13 points. Also, Vinto have less potential. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. They will have to invest a great effort in this game. My pick - Always Ready to win.
They, unlike several of their rivals, also do not have any fixtures on home soil at the tournament - although neither do Euro 2016 and Nations League winners Portugal. England are second favourites and certainly possess an attack that will be the envy of many, while Belgium, Spain and Italy - who have turned things round dramatically since failing to qualify for last year's World Cup - all look strong after finishing comfortably top of their respective groups.

Benfica plays Vizela for Taça de Portugal, Portugal's national cup. That is an important cup. Benfica, currently the best team in Portugal will play a team that is not bad but is way way under in competitive level. We always know that these teams gain motivation and get fierce when they come against these big teams and sometimes surprises happen. Even though a of that is true Benfica know that as well, they will play their good players and will not facilitate anything or concede any errors that might get them in a shameful position. I predict Benfica to win by many.

I feel like with everything that we do in life, with everything we register to, we have to give some sort of ID, so why is it not the same with Instagram? Why is it not the same with Twitter?"The Professional Footballers' Association held talks with social media companies after Zaha, along with Sheffield United's David McGoldrick, were subject to racist abuse.
