The Cup Winners' Cup no longer exists but was held for 39 seasons before being absorbed into the Uefa Cup - now itself known as the Europa League - in 1999. City got as far as the semi-finals when they defended their title in 1970-71, losing to eventual winners Chelsea. City's hopes of being the first team to retain the trophy were ended by eventual winners Chelsea, who beat them 1-0 home and away in the 1970-71 semi-finals, and are seen celebrating here in the bath at Maine Road after the second leg with goalscorer Keith Weller holding his drink aloft.
Arsenal - who also hit the woodwork in the first half through Sokratis Papastathopoulos' header - were slightly improved after the restart, but West Ham still looked dangerous on the counter, and Antonio should have netted from Aaron Cresswell's cross. The Gunners would make the visitors pay for their profligacy in front of goal, although it took VAR officials over two minutes to finally award Lacazette's goal, with Ozil registering his first assist from open play since February 2019.
Red Star Waasland-Beveren is having a very good falling point with the recent 3 consecutive victories. Remember, Red Star Waasland-Beveren had previously gone through a series of nine non-winning matches from early October to early December. However, everything seemed to be out of control. Since the victory over Gent in early November, the hosts have had 7 games without winning on the fronts, including 5 matches in the league.
Why are the games all over Europe?A frankly excellent question. Officially, the reason is 2020 marks the 60th anniversary of the first European Championship in 1960. Is a 60th anniversary even a thing?Pragmatically, it has been suggested that the tournament has been broken up to spread the cost of hosting it.
Real Madriz FC is the favorite at home up against Chinandega FC this time. Real Madriz FC seems to be overrated by the bookies at the odds of 1,57, as fair odds for them would be at 2,13, as for Chinandega FC, they are quite underrated at the odds of 3,80, as fair odds for them should be around 3,34. Despite the value on the 1 x 2 market, I'll place a double chance on Chinandega FC this time at the odds of 2,20. It has also value and I don't see Real Madriz FC winning this one despite their last result

Sheffield United have made some fantastic signings," added Lampard. Chris Wilder's job is incredible because he's had years to work with that group and now they are adding where they see that they need to. Tottenham have signed a few, and again, they are not far behind us.

View more on twitterGilmour shines as Chelsea knock out LiverpoolWhat his manager & team-mates saidGilmour, a former Rangers youth player, was only promoted to the Chelsea first-team squad three weeks ago, having played six times for the club so far. Pre-match, Chelsea boss Lampard said it was a "comfortable choice" to select him for such a big game, and he was proved correct as the diminutive, boyish-looking Scot stood out among men.
The languid midfield man is the complete operator and showed all sides of his game in what turned into a stroll. He ran midfield while demonstrating his class as a creator and goalscorer to simply underline the role he has played in Liverpool's romp to the Premier League this season. Fabinho's pass to pick out Salah for Liverpool's second goal was a masterpiece of touch and vision, while he again showed his potency from long range by flashing that stunning goal past the helpless Hennessey in front of a Kop populated by flags on what might be their last game before clinching the title.
Cadiz II will play against Sevilla II in the Spain segunda division group 4. Cadiz II is sitting on the 10th spot with 30 points while the visitors Sevilla II are sitting on the 13th spot with 26 points so far in this season. Cadiz II have a very good home record as they have won 3 of their last 5 home matches. Meanwhile sevilla II have drawn 2 of their last 3 away matches. They play very defensive football and I expect them to get at least a point from this match. This match to end in a draw

Premier League players and staff will continue to be tested twice a week, with any players or staff who test positive self-isolating for a period of seven days.
Though they've not won a game in the group, Club Brugge have probably done about as well as they could reasonably be expected to. A draw away at Real themselves and the share of the spoils with Galatasaray twice doesn't make for terrible reading but the Belgians are still a long way off being fully competitive at this level.
Atletico fans who can a get ticket. Anfield'," said Klopp. Emotions are important. Tonight they were obviously completely on the side of Atletico, but I am really looking forward to the second leg. We speak from time to time about the power of Anfield and the power a stadium can have and tonight you saw that. It's half-time and we're 1-0 down. The second half will be played in our stadium and they will feel it.
With both sides so desperate for the result we should see quite an open game and we’re predicting that both teams will find themselves on the scoresheet this weekend. We can’t see a huge amount of goals though as both sides struggle for confidence but the open nature of the A-League and a willingness to improve by both Victory and Glory should see the both teams to score prediction come through.
Liverpool's Premier League title-winning celebrations were slightly dampened as they were thrashed by deposed champions Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side ended an agonising 30-year wait for the top-flight title when City lost at Chelsea last week, but were resoundingly hammered on their return to action. The Reds, who were given a guard of honour by the hosts before kick-off, could have taken the lead at Etihad Stadium but Mohamed Salah's low drive cannoned off the post.
Olympiakos can achieve their goal at the end of this meeting. Olympiacos FC have scored at least one goal for 5 consecutive matches. FK Red Star Belgrade have a winning streak of 3 matches and they will confident to beat Olympiakos again. We are predicting a tight game though. Our odds are for a draw on this one.
The guests are just a newly promoted side and have played 2 games so far this new year in the league and lost both of them as they lost last round with 4-2 at home with Dep. Cuenca while in their first game they ended up losing with 2-1 away at El Nacional so quite not bad at scoring goals but problem is Barcelona SC especially at home is very hard to score against, and with such a defense the hosts should really be good enough for putting a couple of goals in their opponents goal.

Between Taylor first being diagnosed and his recovery, Manchester United had changed their manager. He had already been heartened by Jose Mourinho's support. He soon found Solskjaer was aware of his story as well. Mourinho was great. I remember walking down to the gym one day, he put his arm around my shoulder, asked me what had gone on, what was I preparing for and giving me words of support.
I clearly deserved the yellow card. I had bad words with the guy," Mourinho told BT Sport, after his side fell six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table.

Odds are a bit bigger than expected for the home win in this one as I see the youth level of Zenit which is right now the best club in Russia much better than the one at Ural U19, for example I watched Zenit having the lead after the winter break at home with 1-0 against a strong Lokomotiv Moscow U19 side but two mistakes in defense made them lose with 2-1 the game especially the second goal the striker picked the ball from the keeper and scored with an empty net.

It happened when Gary Neville came through and took my place. Sir Alex Ferguson said to me he couldn’t afford to leave Neville out because he’s done well and he didn’t want to affect his confidence.

This form will see Motta out the door unless they turn things around soon. The Grifone have had little patience with managers, while the fact that they let Aurelio Andreazzoli stay too long probably counts against his successor.

The Nerazzurri were at their best in clashes with the Grifone last season, winning 9-0 across the two meetings.
Well this should be easy pick on not that high odd but it is very safe and sound because Bristol Rovers is much better team and also they are very strong at HOME, recent fa cup victory over Mansfield is going to get their confidence even higher and I just don't see the way of them losing any points versus one of the worst teams in the league on the road and to be precise there is Just one team worse than the Wimbledon this season on the road so who wants to chase more points could easily go with handicap on Bristol victory
