In doing so, they have defied both the pundits and the modern football finance which suggests that mid-sized clubs such as Atalanta can only enjoy one or two good seasons before their squad is broken up and they drop down the table again. Atalanta, however, have managed to keep their team together and Gasperini said the team had also benefited from a special relationship with the public in Bergamo, the city at the foot of the Alps where they are based.
We will resolve these issues between us without external pressure. Ancelotti also insisted that Napoli would recover from a run which has seen them drop to seventh in Serie A table -- far removed from their usual role as the main challengers to Juventus. This is a healthy environment, especially in the dressing-room, with everyone determined to get out of this moment," he said.
Brest will be pleased with themselves for reaching the last eight of this competition, while they should also be pleased with their efforts in Ligue 1. 15th place would be shunned by most teams, but for a newly promoted club of limited means, merely occupying a place outside of the drop-zone is commendable. Brest are currently five points clear of the bottom three.
TALKING POINT Will things stop going for Liverpool? There are two ways to look at Liverpool so far this season: either they're so full of confidence they know they will win every game, or they've sneaked a succession of marginal games and that cannot sustain through a season. To not win the league from here would take a monumental collapse, but Liverpool need to tighten up at the back before the knockout stages begin.
Brentford won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 in the last 5 rounds. They have 47 points after 28 rounds ranked 5th in the rankings. The top competition is very intense. With the decline of the two leading teams, West Bromwich, Leeds opened the opportunity to chase for the team behind. At this time of the season things are still very difficult to predict. Brentford understands that and they need to maintain the score to get a place in the top of the rankings.

We've been able to convey why it's so important nobody congregates outside or near grounds. Liverpool City Council will meet on Monday to decide if the Merseyside derby can be played at Goodison Park. In April, Anderson said the resumption of the Premier League was a "non-starter" and that fans gathering outside grounds would create a "farcical" situation. But he told The Athletic: "We have had the opportunity since then to speak to fans and the clubs have done their part and got the message across that the supporters need to stay away.
That was the right decision at the time. They have apologised. They're back in training and fit for selection. They've admitted they're wrong. They've settled back into it, they know they've made a mistake and want to make up for it. The next chance is against Chelsea. If they play their part then all well and good. The Hornets are one point above the relegation zone in 17th place with six matches remaining.
In the 'Correct Score' market, a 2-2 draw appeals. Both teams look closely matched in the final third, while both are no strangers to scoring and conceding twice at the same time. Between them, the pair have conceded exactly twice in seven of their combined 13 respective home and away games.
Davie Cooper in action for Scotland against West GermanyThe eventual finalists would ultimately recover to win 2-1 in a game played in the stifling midday sun. Miller describes it as "like playing on a different planet"; Bannon remembers being unable to muster the energy to join the celebrations for Strachan's 18th-minute goal; while third-choice goalkeeper Rough "had the Ambre Solaire on" in the stands.
Premier League clubs are increasingly optimistic the demand for games to be played at neutral venues if the season resumes will be reversed. A majority of clubs expressed their opposition to the concept at a meeting on Monday. But it is understood productive talks have since been held with authorities. While there is still work to be done to reach a satisfactory conclusion, one source said nothing suggested so far appears insurmountable.
Faced with an extreme situation like the one we lived in Malta, I had to assume the leadership of everyone's team. The objective of the classification entrusted to me has been achieved comfortably. I wish this situation had never occurred. Now we would be equally classified. Assessing the last hours in office or even the last days, would only serve to enter a spiral of reproaches and justifications for each of the parties.
Losing probably the most important player is never nice," Arteta told British media. We have other players that can play in that position. They now have to make a step forward now he is not able to contribute to the team with goals. Someone else has to do it and I want to see that reaction too. Aubameyang will miss league games against Sheffield United and Chelsea as well as the FA Cup trip to Bournemouth.

Liverpool were 4-1 up and suddenly Christian Pulisic came on with 30 minutes left to play and the American set Anfield alight. He set up Tammy Abraham with a glorious cross to score before netting himself with a piece of individual brilliance. With better defending from Chelsea they might have got the point they were looking for. Regardless, Pulisic is going to be a star next season. Did you know? Pulisic has scored nine Premier League goals for Chelsea this season; among American players, only Clint Dempsey (17 in 2011-12 and 12 in 2010-11) has ever scored more in a campaign - his goal was the 1,000th scored in this season's Premier League.
But he still had so much hard work to do, somehow managing to squeeze the ball through the tiny gap and into the back of the net. How?!"Mo scored the most difficult situation of the whole night!" an incredulous manager Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport. I have no idea [how]. With his quality, how he didn't score one or two of the others I have no clue. He played really well but didn't score in the situations we expect him usually to score, but staying on track and making such a decisive and very difficult finish, that probably says much more about him than all of the other goals he has scored.
Rakuten Monkeys had placed cardboard cut-outs of fans replete with face masks in the stands for the washed-out game on Saturday, while anyone entering the baseball stadiums had their temperatures checked. The fourth season of the Taiwan Football Premier League also got underway on Sunday with Tapei-based champions Tatung City FC 3-2 losing to their rivals from the southern city of Kaohsiung, Taipower, on the opening day.
From a moral standpoint, as president of a football club and a manager in an organisation who are involved in these events, I just cannot accept this kind of proposal and I cannot let public health be put in this difficult condition," he said. It doesn't matter what kind of game it is, it doesn't matter if it was 24 hours or 48 hours, we knew the situation was not going to be gone. The right thing to do was to reject the proposal.
During this period they have scored an impressive 12 goals, and on Wednesday they face a MK Dons side that have lost five of their last eight at home. All things considered, the price for a Bristol Rovers Win looks excellent value for money here.
Pep Guardiola has the chance to shuffle his pack against Dinamo Zagreb with the weekend's trip to Arsenal in mind, though the eccentric Catalonian manager generally likes to avoid making wholesale changes to his starting XI.

Aston Villa were fully deserving of their victory down to their desire to get the ball down and play with pace, and it frightened Newcastle, putting their defensive five at sixes-and-sevens the whole game. Jack Grealish and Conor Hourihane were focal points, as to their full-backs who were consistently bombing on to add width to play around the Newcastle low block.
Issa Diop gave the hosts the lead when he poked home from Robert Snodgrass' free-kick, before Snodgrass doubled the advantage with a powerful shot from inside the area. Brighton responded when Angelo Ogbonna shouldered the ball into his own net, but Snodgrass' long-range drive put West Ham in control at London Stadium.
There has been a lengthy dispute between Ajax and Nouri’s family, who are looking for a settlement after Ajax previously admitted providing "inadequate" on-field medical treatment for Nouri after the midfielder collapsed during the pre-season friendly against German club Werder Bremen in July 2017 in the Austria.

There's an expectation on you and if you've got a big transfer fee and you're young, sometimes it becomes difficult. Let's hope it just gives him that bit of confidence. You saw the difference in him at the end. We can't ask for more than a home draw in the next round. If we treat Oxford with the same respect we showed Rochdale in the first half we've got a chance.

Pre-match, it was billed as the defining moment in Liverpool's 30-year quest to land the title, and so it proved as the Reds went on to further strengthen their grip on top spot. Spurs sack Pochettino Pochettino was sacked 171 days after taking Tottenham to the Champions League finalNovember signalled the end of an era at Spurs as Mauricio Pochettino was sacked after five and a half years at the club, with Jose Mourinho promptly brought in as his replacement.
Having a fully fit Kane could have disguised a lack of attacking finesse, but now there’s no hiding place. Mourinho already said after drawing against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup at the weekend that neither Lucas Moura nor Son Heung-min could be considered strikers, and so it seems inevitable that Spurs will now enter the market for a type of player which more readily fits Mourinho’s conception of what a striker should look like: namely, a tall lad who is good in the air and can hold the ball up well.
Chelsea got a humbling experience in Europe, as they were whacked by Bayern Munich in the Champions League and now they will be shifting focus to the Premier League, where they travel to Bournemouth. Ahead of the game, Bournemouth are 16th with 26 points and Chelsea fourth with 44 points. It has not been an easy ride for Bournemouth; they have won just four of their last 18 matches.
Both teams have scored in three of the last five Watford away league games. Watford have scored in seven of their last eight league games but conceded in seven of the last nine away. Both teams have scored in each of the last three Brighton league matches. This is a vital game down at the bottom of the English Premier League.
