After a tough trip to Italy and a poor 1-1 draw at Granada last weekend, the host's simply don't look well placed at all to take on Barca this weekend, especially considering that the Catalan giants have found their mojo again.
Other teams had significant moments - Sir Alex Ferguson would close his glittering Manchester United reign with two more Premier League crowns in 2011 and 2013, while Leicester shocked everyone to achieve arguably the most remarkable league triumph of them all in 2015-16. The Foxes were one of only four sides other than Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United to win a major domestic trophy during the 2010s.
I started my career at the local club Cremonese so I didn't have to leave my family until the age of 20. My parents kept my feet firmly feet on the ground and wanted me to study first. They taught me what was really important in life. Other players unfortunately have to leave their families very early and they end up spending time by themselves away from people who should lead by example. I was lucky.
Porto could close the gap to Benfica today with a win with Benfica playing a tough away game at Sporting Lissabon. At home Porto have been perfect so far winning all 7 games without conceding a goal.

In the end, though, it was one of their own who stood head and shoulders above the rest to earn them the point they needed. Grealish was neat and energetic without being spectacular for much of the game but came alive when he was needed. Soon after dancing through the Hammers defence and seeing a shot deflected wide, he went one better, finding space on the edge of the box before firing in. That should have been the end of it, but West Ham provided one final scare for Villa at the end of what has been a dramatic, rollercoaster season.
There wasn't much discussion about it because there is not much we can do about it . National teams from across the continent are scheduled to feature later this month including playoffs for UEFA's Euro 2020, which is scheduled to be held in 12 cities. The playoffs on March 26 and March 31 feature 16 teams battling for four spaces in the 24-team finals.
I believe he [Arteta] can improve every player," said Luiz. Mikel is a great coach and knows football. He was a great player, he brings things and I believe in his philosophy. We are going to do big things in the future, but step by step. Arsenal beat Man Utd to give Arteta first win After two draws and a defeat since the former Manchester City coach was appointed, an uplifting win was rapturously received by a lively crowd inside Emirates Stadium.
Wolves install drive-through coronavirus testing station at training groundFootballers to have breached lockdown guidelinesManchester City defender Kyle Walker was reported to have hosted a party involving two sex workers and then travelled to South Yorkshire to visit his sister and parents at different addresses. He has written to some of the club's supporters to apologise. Everton striker Moise Kean is set to be disciplined by the club after being filmed at a house party.
Vardy looked bright in his running and his movement was very good," said Rodgers. He's struggled since December with injuries, but he looked all over it. Leicester's fourth gave them a scoreline their performance deserved - Barnes, who merited his second goal for an industrious performance, blasting home from Albrighton's cross. Rodgers said: "Harvey has got a very bright future. He's been getting better, his intensity and hunger to get in and score is what we've spoken about, and now he gets in there regularly and he's getting goals.

The west London club have been recently linked with a £34 million move for Lyon's Moussa Dembele, but the French side have no interest in letting him leave. Giroud is looking to leave Chelsea in search for first-team football, but will have to wait until a new striker signs at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle have also enquired for Michy Batshuayi, who is also at Chelsea, with the Blues returning the same message to the Tyneside outfit that they gave for Giroud.
The visitors will be aiming to remain in the automatic promotion spots in the Championship this weekend. They are surprise challengers in the fight for the Premier League, but they sit just 2 points shy of the top going into this meeting with Derby.
Kapfenberger has only 19 points and in grave danger and out of shape. SV Horn has 23 points and is also fighting for their survival, so SV Horn has a stronger motive, and the home team is out of rhythm.
Six minutes later record signing Nicolas Pepe put the visitors ahead with a superb curling shot into the far corner before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang volleyed home a Pepe cross. West Ham suffered a third straight home loss which leaves them in 16th on 16 points, just a point above the relegation zone.
Djenepo was initially booked when he caught Isaac Hayden above the ankle but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) advised referee Graham Scott to take a second look on the pitchside monitor, after which a red card was produced. Southampton were nearly undone just before halftime when Sofiane Boufal used his upper arm to clear the ball inside the box, awarding Newcastle their first penalty of the season, but Alex McCarthy dived to his left to stop Matt Ritchie's effort.
The AFC announced the first leg matches in the round of 16 will now be played on August 11 and 12 with the return meetings two weeks later, while the first leg of the quarter-finals will be held on September 15 and 16. The second legs will be played on September 29 and 30. Semi-final matches will be played on October 20 and 21 with the return clashes a week later, with the dates of the two-legged final unchanged on November 22 and 28.
The draw sees both teams make marginal gains up the table, Arsenal to 10th and Burnley 11th, both on 31 points. Reaction and analysis from Turf MoorBurnley rue missed chancesBurnley entered this game on the back of league victories over Leicester and Manchester United, and will wonder how they did not make it three in a row. In the opening stages, they looked in danger of being overwhelmed, but gradually outfought a Gunners side who were rarely without a player complaining, limping, or rolling around on the floor.
Players take on coronavirus - Thursday's Warm-Up Morning. Let's start with Andi Thomas' look at Premier League players' call to action over coronavirus. FULL STORY 22:00 - Goodnight #PlayersTogether is probably the last big news of the day where sport is concerned, so the time has come to put it to bed for the rest of the night.
Football. Turkish Championship. Kayserispor accepts Rizespor. I think the match should turn out to be productive and the team will be able to complete 3 goals. Kaiser plays well in attack at home, scores at least 1 goal for almost everyone, sometimes scores more, and misses about 2 goals per game, in general Kayser is the team that is needed for TB. Rizespor on the road misses a lot, about 3 goals per match, but scores no more than 1, in general Rizespor is a good team with a strong roster, when it should break through to goals, why not today, but if not, Kayser will have one such total overpower. In general, we are waiting for goals. At the expense of the outcomes, if anyone is interested, I have a little faith in the guests, but given their problems in defense, they may lose. I think the bid is optimal - over 2.5!
You could see Guardiola was infuriated by all of that, but at the same time he will understand that it happens. Essentially his team's effort and character and the way they performed was good, and they created enough chances to win the game. They just could not score. It is Zinchenko's red card that I think will annoy him more, because that is what cost City. If City had stayed with 11 men, I don't think they would have been beaten.
I'm really happy to see that Odion Ighalo is settling in well and he deserves it with the way he is playing, how he links the plays and the goals he is scoring," Berbatov, who scored 56 goals in four seasons at United, told Betfair. All the team are happy when he scores which shows he is fully integrated, and I like the way he looks for the ball and bullies the defenders.
The Tykes’ weekend loss was a 3-2 reverse at Cardiff – another clash which has seen them concede three goals. Barnsley have major issues at the back, having conceded a goal in their last 14 matches. No side has let in more goals than Barnsley this season, with the home side conceding in 90% of their league games this season.

Things havent really got going for Central Coast so far this season. They were hoping to put another disappointing campaign behind them but it appears to be the same old story for the side with just three wins from nine this season and 14 goals conceded.
The guests are having a great season, they have a very good coach who took Lyngby in the Europa League before their relegation, and his club is now set to play in the same competition next season with the club having two wins in a row a 1-0 win at home with Odense and a 3-2 win away at same opponent as today Aalborg on the road just a couple of days ago and sitting on 3rd place at this moment and either if they win the cup as Midtjylland, Brondby or Copenhagen have already been defeated in this competition or they qualify via the league they should play in Europe next season.
Meanwhile, after sneaking into the play-offs last season, Eastleigh are once again looking to play a part in the top 7 picture come the end of the campaign. 13th and just 5 points short of the play-offs with games in hand, the visitors are running along in reasonable fashion so far.
