Tranmere were always one of the favourites for League One relegation this season after finishing 6th in League Two last term, and at the halfway point of the campaign they unsurprisingly find themselves embroiled in a battle at the bottom.
Nov 22 (Reuters) - Ukrainian soccer's governing body has defended its decision to hand Shakhtar Donetsk's Taison a one-match ban, saying the Brazilian midfielder needed to be held accountable for his reaction to racist abuse from the crowd. Taison, 31, made a gesture towards Dynamo Kiev fans and kicked the ball into the stands after hearing the abuse during Shakhtar's 1-0 win this month.
Charlton chairman Matt Southall says he worries football is "paying lip service" to anti-racism after Jonathan Leko questioned the time taken to ban Leeds' Kiko Casilla for abusing him. An independent regulatory commission took 22 weeks to find Casilla guilty, with the goalkeeper consequently banned for eight matches and fined £60,000. West Bromwich Albion's Leko was on loan at Charlton when the incident occurred.
Arteta will surely look at the current crop and decide that at one minute past midnight on January 1, he wants to get some dry ink on a contract with a centre-half he can rely on. They say Kalidou Koulibaly is finally on the move from Napoli - and what a statement that would be. Arsenal's defensive frailty could be blamed on David LuizGetty Images 4.
Napoli moved to the verge of Champions League qualification in midweek, receiving widespread praise for holding off the European Champions. However, that result was arguably more down to muscle memory than anything else given how Napoli have frustrated Liverpool in recent seasons. Away from that result, the Partenopei remain a side in crisis.
Having reached the milestone of a year unbeaten, Liverpool must now negotiate two significant obstacles before the end of the month. Their next two Premier League games are away to Jose Mourinho's Tottenham on Saturday, 11 January - the Portuguese famously oversaw a Chelsea win in 2014 which derailed Brendan Rodgers' hopes of taking the title to Anfield - and at home to Manchester United, the only team to take a point off them all season, the following Sunday.
Since winning their first ever game in the Champions League knockout stages (3-1 v Chelsea in 2011-12), Napoli have failed to win any of their last four games outside of the group stage (D1 L3), with three of those coming against Spanish opponents. Barcelona have only won one of their previous nine away games in the Champions League knockout stages (D3 L5), with that lone victory coming against Manchester United in April 2019.
When they trailed at half-time, it looked for all to see that Sunderland were on route to yet another disappointing afternoon at the Stadium of Light this season and, although they were able to claim a point with a goal in the latter stages, they know that much improvement is needed if they are to start climbing the table. This Tuesday they welcome a Burton Albion side who will be looking for a win of their own so they can keep in touch with the play-off picture.
Dock them points when they go down into the second division. Maybe that threat will force clubs and other fans to work harder to stamp out this sort of behaviour. There can be zero tolerance. Zero.

Southampton striker Danny Ings has his sights set on winning the Golden Boot as the Premier League's top scorer - but can he add to his tally against Manchester City this weekend?Ings has 18 goals so far, including three in three games since football restarted last month amid the coronavirus pandemic.

So far, the Reds have amassed 86 points - with 28 victories, two draws and a single defeat from 31 games. At one stage they led the table by 25 points - a record gap between a side in first and second in the English top flight. Their title win this season is the earliest on record, at least with regard to games remaining, with the Reds having seven to play. They could still register the most wins in a season (the record is 32), most home wins (18), most away wins (16) and biggest winning margin (19 points).
For much of the season we’ve reserved praise for Bristol City, a side who seemed to have addressed their consistency from last season. However, the Robins have lost three games on the spin to dent their chances of making the playoffs. It was these poor runs last season which caused problems for Lee Johnson’s side.

And even when Cesar Azpilicueta poked home what looked like a winner for Chelsea, Arsenal didn’t give in, eventually getting their second equaliser of the night through Hector Bellerin, of all people. Will this game be a turning point for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal? The day they discovered they could actually play football, or at least scrap effectively enough to make it look like they could play football? Or will it be a false dawn, like all the other false dawns? Who knows, but for now it was extremely heartening for them.
A Liverpool fan whose "racist" banner of Divock Origi led to a police and club investigation has had his temporary ban lifted. A graphic banner depicting the striker's head on a naked body was displayed before last month's Champions League win in Genk. Liverpool condemned the image for "perpetuating a racist stereotype". The ban has been lifted after the fan agreed to take an education course with anti-racism charity Kick It Out.

United Arab Emirates against Iraq here, meeting of the Asian Football Gulf Cup which is played tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 pm. Iraq slightly favored for the victory of the meeting comes from a 1-2 success against Qatar while the Emirates come from an easy affirmation against Yemen for 3-0. On a technical level the two teams are the same but Iraq has a very solid defense and in my opinion they will not lose this match also considering that the Emirates when they play against stronger teams almost never score more than one goal per game. I expect a draw here.

It remains to be seen if Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes will work in tandem on Saturday, though either one of the burly centre-forwards will make life very uncomfortable for a less than convincing looking Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez defensive partnership.
I grew up in London as an Arsenal fan but, when I joined Leeds, I immersed myself in the history and the culture of the club, and since then it has been hard to support another team. So there is only one side I will be rooting for on Monday, and I know exactly what it will mean to the Leeds fans if they can get past the Gunners, because I have helped them pull off a famous FA Cup win myself. It does not feel like it, but it is 10 years since Leeds went to Old Trafford in the third round and I scored the winner against Manchester United in one of biggest shocks the competition has seen.
IN THE CHANNELS Part two in this week’s Debate on Eurosport sees Ben Snowball put the case forward for sin bins: "Tactical fouls ruin the game. A swift counter-attack can be halted deliberately by a player without any interest in winning the ball.

It is hard to bet these days. We need to be patients but I am coming in some type of crisis right now. 10 days pass how long I am in quarantine and this Corona virus start to really kill us. These two teams are from 3rd division from Russia. Both solid. Both can score and concede. I really can't predict what will happen and I have rule to pick draw in that situation.

Both clubs were two points adrift of Huddersfield. The Terriers entertained Birmingham City, while Portsmouth welcomed Barnsley and Palace went to Stockport County.

Smolevichi is quite okay for this reserve level, but that being said the hosts are much better overall despite being new to the first league level at the big team level even there they are solid this season and at reserves they have some good results like winning 3-1 at home playing since 4th minute in 10 men against 2nd placed in the league Minsk 2 before this round started. Other results from them at home saw them win 2-0 with Gorodeja, but had big big scoring chances to win bigger, and little trouble in defense as well as winning 3-0 at home against a quite decent Energetik 2 side.
Goztepe exited the cup competition earlier this week they did use a couple of reserves and mainly the keeper was a big difference from the usual started Beto, and they lost the first leg 4-3 away at Antalyaspor while at home this week they only managed a 2-2 draw but their 2nd goal was pure magic from their right winger, and I like their scoring skills having watched them win last round 3-0 away at also Antalyaspor but they were far more serious in that game having the lead 3-0 by half-time and defending in the second half.

EDINSON CAVANI (forward, 32, Paris St-Germain)Linked with: ChelseaFrank Lampard has accused his Chelsea team of "causing their own problems" with their lack of cutting edge. Could Edinson Cavani fit the bill?Uruguay international Cavani has been pushed down the pecking order at Parc des Princes behind new arrival Mauro Icardi, Kylian Mbappe and - when he is fit - Neymar.
