Real is coming to meet the team with very weak recent form, which is having all defeats in the season in the previous five matches. Numancia could not even beat some of their rivals here, when had red card and player less on the pitch, and they come to the near of the bottom of the league table.
Things will be very different on Saturday. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sam's prediction: Southampton are a team in form and Danny Ings is scoring tonnes of goals for them. Match preview Watford v Liverpool (17:30 GMT)Watford's bounce - or improvement in results - when Nigel Pearson first took charge is well and truly over now. They have only taken two points from their past five league games. I still see signs of a fight when I watch them, though, and they have got a very driven manager who will not let them give up on anything, which is why I would not write them off.
We’re also waiting to hear why a publicly funded health service needs extraordinary donations from footballers in the first place. And Matt, we’ve got time to wait. Just us and the bread here. Rising and proving. Proving and rising. And that damned owl. Oh, how we hate him. Vote! Vote! Vote! An intriguing experiment in democracy from north of the border.
While they will receive only half their wages, the rest will ultimately be paid back to them after July. Steven Gerrard consoles Ryan JackGetty Images Paper Round’s view: A deferral will go a huge way to helping Rangers keep ticking over, but the fact the payments will have to be made up in arrears will put a strain into next season.
Lille have also been underperforming this season but are sticking by manager Christophe Galtier, unlike Lyon who quickly dispatched of Sylvinho when the going got tough. Les Dogues have won just one of their last six games in all competitions but it came in their most recent game, as they squeezed past Dijon 1-0 at home. It wasn't a vintage performance from Lille and it's clear to see they're in need of some inspiration at the moment.
Mark Robins' men have been scoring lots of goals of late, notching nine in their last three, but they've also been doing a good job at the other end. They shut out Lincoln on Boxing Day and restricted both Wycombe and Tranmere to just a single goal. In terms of shots on target, Coventry's general efforts on the road have been good too. They're averaging 5.45 for, which makes them the best team in the division when it comes to away shots on target for per 90.
They have six straight wins at home with one loss in their last 10 matches there. Fenerbahce have scored three goals or more in five of their last six matches at home. In the Super Lig, they have four straight wins at home, and have scored 16 goals in the process. Both teams have scored 36 goals in the Super Lig this season and five of their last seven meetings have produced over 2.
The Cypiot side had mixed results in their home group matches. They beat Seville and Qarabag but lost to bottom side Dudelange 4-3. They haven't reached the last sixteen of this competition since the 2016-17 season and with their away record not so great, will look to get a good lead in this game. APOEL aren't in the best of form though with only two wins from their last five matches.
What they have done on the football pitch is exceptional. The rest, I don't know. I really feel for them, Pep and the players, but that is how it is. They can appeal so we will see what happens then. It is obviously serious. But the football they played was exceptional and will always be exceptional.

Had the Glasgow Rangers wing-half performed on the greatest stage or followed many of his compatriots of that era to the English first division at the peak of his career, he would surely be recalled as a great well beyond his homeland. Yet Baxter was certainly appreciated by those who were fortunate enough to see him in an era of much-reduced international exposure.
It is less than six years since Wolves went to Crawley Town for a midweek League One game. Those who were there can still remember that depressing excursion to Sussex. The pitch was bad. The facilities were bad. The result - a 2-1 defeat - was bad. The three-and-a-half-hour bus ride and return home at 2. As they prepare to host Espanyol in the last 32 of the Europa League, nights like those at the Broadfield Stadium belong to a different era.
Chelsea have an option to buy him back for £40 million, well under his market value, but Frank Lampard will first see how well Antonio Rudiger does when he comes back from injury. He may prioritise a replacement for Olivier Giroud, who is expected to leave. Paper Round’s view: Giroud has a couple of years left at the top and is wasting his time if he stays at Chelsea, so it makes sense that he is allowed to leave, and that Chelsea can get in a replacement for the longer term.
Slavoj is back to this league, after few seasons of being in the lower amateur levels, and they should try to avoid fight for the relegation again. They are not doing bad, m and this match could bring more than just a win, since their rival is also one of the candidate in the bottom fight in this competition.
Meanwhile, Cluj are top of their domestic league and pushing for top spot here. They kicked things off by beating Lazio on opening night, while they’ve recorded three wins from four since then. If CFR Cluj avoid defeat, they will progress past the group stages of a Champions League/Europa League campaign for the very first time. Can they pick up they result they need in the Italian capital?
We're also backing Lyon to score over 1.5 goals as they have done so in their last three matches at home and against Lille, while their opponents have conceded at least one goal in six of their last eight home games.
Liverpool need just four wins from their remaining 10 games to guarantee their first league title for 30 years. It is always nice to get a trophy," said Sterling. Now it is the business end and we have a lot to fight for. We are one trophy down and confident we can go to do major things this season. It is just as special as always. If you are not winning trophies you will finish the season very disappointed.

Prior to the trip to Dens Park, the league leaders' preparations were less than ideal. Former Hearts midfielder Kenny Black: ''A virus swept through the team that week. Four or five us were affected, including me, Craig Levein and Brian Whittaker. Brian was deemed fit enough to start but we knew he wouldn't last the whole game. I was only fit enough for the bench and would have to come on at half-time.
Dyche's VAR observationsDyche used his programme notes to add his thoughts to the general debate about the video assistant referee system. The Burnley boss is supportive of VAR, saying he is "convinced it will become more streamlined the more the powers-that-be get used to the technology". There will always be grey areas though. If McNeil's cross had gone straight to Wood, any goal would have been disallowed because the ball struck the winger's hand after a ricochet off Sanchez.

Galatasaray are one of the form teams in the league at the minute, winning five games on the trot.
Paper Round’s view: Taking a huge refund would be damaging for both the broadcasters and the clubs. It would lead to player sales and cost-cutting which would not be possible to overturn in just one season, potentially harming the quality of the product they can sell. By giving the broadcasters extra games at no further cost, it supports both parties financially.
Paolo Sousa's Bordeaux generally had a fantastic end to 2019 but rather disappointingly stalled at the last hurdle, losing each of their final four matches. Les Girondins were extremely professional in their first match back following the winter break though as they dispatched of Ligue 2 Le Mans 2-0 in the Coupe de France.

I am not really counting on the guests to score in this one as my preferred bet would be the hosts to win this one by 2 goals difference but they have been scoring 3 goals all alone in their recent wins in the league for example they played against 3rd placed Cerro Porteno on the road and won that game 3-1 in the end and of course they score goals at home much easier winning against Santani with no less than 4-0 at home the last time that they hosted them.

Unbeaten Premier League leaders Liverpool made it a full year without losing in the top flight as Sheffield United were brushed aside at Anfield. A slice of good fortune enabled the Reds to take an early lead - George Baldock's slip allowing Andy Robertson to set up Mohamed Salah for a simple close-range finish in just the fourth minute.

He wasn't afraid to get rid of players - as soon as their time was up they were out the door. He would adapt if he managed today. It's what great managers do. Wright: "Alex Ferguson knew he needed different people around him at different stages, to freshen it up and bring in a new idea. Even when you look at the 2013 side - people say, 'oh that's the worst Manchester United team to win the league under Ferguson' - they could not have won that league with that team with any other manager.
