This comes with the European Club Association wanting the Champions League expanded by four matchdays amid a long debate over reform of the competition and continuing rumours of clandestine talks about a possible breakaway or 'Super League'.

There are growing fears over the threat posed by ever-richer and more powerful 'super clubs' to national leagues' competitiveness and sustainability.

Both teams scored in 57% of VVV’s home games and in the same percentage of Emmen’s away games this season, while all of VVV’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 71% of Emmen’s away games. The hosts have netted 8 goals in front of their own fans this season, twice as many goals as Emmen have scored away. VVV haven’t kept any clean sheets at home and Emmen haven’t kept any clean sheets on the road so far this season, which is why we’re expecting both teams to find the back of the net this weekend.

Xanthi has only mathematical hopes for the playoffs after beating Atromitos 1-0 in Peristeri. It ignores the win in the last seven games (0-3-4) and only wants to win the PAOK to get into the playoffs, and at the same time not to win Asteras, Atromitos and OFI losing.
Manchester United were 2-0 up after 64 minutes when De Bruyne's shot was destined for the back of the Red Devils' net, with plenty still on the clock, before the Swede produced the intervention of the match. This victory for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wasn't just about winning the Manchester derby but about his survival. Beating Spurs and Manchester City in a matter of days suggests that with a full complement of players, and not filling the team just with kids, Solskjaer has something.
The Bluebirds have seen both teams score in seven of their last eight matches, while they should continue that against the Swans. Both defences have been massively exposed in recent weeks, while we expect that to continue here. Cardiff have kept two clean sheets in 13 clashes with sides above them in the league. Meanwhile, Swansea have kept one clean sheet in 10 away trips in all competitions.

Solskjaer refused to be drawn on whether club captain Ashley Young will leave for Inter Milan this month.

He had that initial bounce in results and got some great performances from his players, but can they do that again without any supporters? I am not convinced that they can. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Al's prediction: I have got a soft spot for Watford, particularly Troy Deeney, who is a thoroughly good guy. He has been quite outspoken recently about making LGBTQ people inclusive in football and hopefully a lot of positives will come from that.
Derby County surprised everyone when they defeated Millwall away in their last game and now they are fully alive for the promotion places, I trust them to take a win here as they are facing a Reading that has no business claiming points here

The visitors have lost each of their previous seven matches, which has put them in danger of the drop. That losing streak has left them bottom, but this has been a difficult campaign from the start. Brescia have lost 10 Serie A matches this season; 13 of the 14 sides with as many defeats after the first 13 league games were relegated at the end of the season – only Crotone in 2016/17 avoided the drop. If they’re going to avoid relegation, then beating the next-worst side in the division would be a start.

Better from Dortmund, Hakimi rolling back for Brandt, who rolls studs over the ball to set then sweeps a shot that Gueye blocks at source, sending it looping over the bar. AND EMRE CAN IS SENT OFF!

Carvajal has been penalised for a foul on Sterling, and City have the chance to take the lead. It was a stupid tackle from Carvajal. GOAL!

Copenhagen are everything Malmo fans think football should not be, in the sense that they have bought their success while Malmö built theirs from scratch," Malmö fan and journalist Alexandra Jonson argues.

Copenhagen's 'little brother'?Malmo supporters may not agree with FC Copenhagen's ownership model but they would certainly like to replicate the Danish side's European success.

Speaking about the game, Ricketts said his players "could not get near" Liverpool "to impose ourselves". He added: "It is game 39 for us and it caught up with us. We could not get up to the physicality level. Four of the last six matches between these teams has featured under 2.5 goals. Crystal Palace are bottom of the Premier League form table (four draws, two defeats).
He admitted it is "the downside of playing somebody tired". In Thursday's 2-0 win at Sheffield United, Saint-Maximin headed his first goal for the Magpies but was substituted in the 81st minute and left the field with a heavily strapped ankle. The 22-year-old missed games against Norwich and Watford in August through injury, as well as the defeat by Liverpool in September. Newcastle signed the Frenchman from Nice for £16.
They are coming from a 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and while that may have dented their chances in the competition, there is very little doubt that Liverpool will win the league title.

Despite his recent absence, Real manager Zinedine Zidane says he has no problems with how Bale has been training. Gareth is here and I am happy with all the players I have," he said. I know the answer you're looking for but I have 25 players and I have to choose. There are no issues or problems. I am sure Gareth is going to keep working as he has been. There are times when he isn't named in the squad but I wouldn't read too much into it.
You'd really have to hit me in the head before I take any of my money on Dynamo Brest in this fixture as they have two losses in a row in the league losing 2-1 at Energetik but were 2-0 behind till the last attack of the game when they scored their only goal, and also lost with ease 3-1 at home with league leaders from BATE at home, not to mention they had to play 120 minutes in the cup final earlier this week and ended up losing it in extra-time, so they are tired with low morale and a league record which reads just 4-1-5 so far this season.

The Reds hold a 25-point lead over second-placed Manchester City, who have just 30 points left to play for. No surprise then to find the Euro Club Index predicting with 100% certainty that Jurgen Klopp's side will deliver a first title to Anfield in 30 years. Not only that, but if their model is correct, the Reds will end the season with a record 102 points, beating the century that Manchester City racked up in 2017-18.
