Hertha BSC are 16th in the league with 11 points from 13 matches, winning in all 3 games, 2 draws and 8 lost games. This is another test for Klinsmann to try to bring Hertha again to life. They have scored 18 Goals against 27.
Who knows how much more they might have achieved but for the desperate tragedy of the Munich air disaster? The Busby Babes were travelling from Belgrade to Manchester via Munich on 6 February 1958, having just successfully reached their second European Cup semi-final Had the team survived, they might have beaten AC Milan in that semi-final and perhaps become the first British side to be crowned European champions.
Manchester City's philosophy is to try to win everything - so they focus on every game in the same way, whether it is in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup or League Cup. That is why they have done so well in the domestic cups in recent seasons - because they don't really change anything for those competitions, whoever they play. City ended up having quite a relaxed time against 10 men in Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round win over Fulham, but they went into the game the same way they would any Premier league match and, as usual, put 100% into their performance too.
Ronaldo is only the third Juve player ever to score 30 goals in a Serie A season, while Immobile is the fifth Italian to reach that landmark. The pair have also equalled the record of penalties scored in a Serie A season with 12, level with Lazio's Giuseppe Signori in 1995-96. Ronaldo is the fastest player to score 50 goals in Serie A this century, with 61 appearances. His second goal was his 51st.
Daniel James doubled the lead in the 58th when he side-stepped his marker and buried a crisp low shot into the bottom corner, leaving keeper Alexander Schlager rooted to the spot. Juan Mata made it 3-0 with a clinical finish from 10 metres after 82 minutes before late substitutes Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira put the icing on the cake in stoppage time.
Wigan face a 12-point deduction to be applied either this season - if they finish outside the Championship relegation zone - or at the start of 2020-21. The club's administrators intend to investigate how the club ended up in the situation barely a month after it changed owners. The club wrote to fans last month to tell them International Entertainment Corporation (IEC) had handed over control to another Hong Kong-based company, Next Leader Fund, on 29 May.

Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is set to complete a loan move to Aston Villa for the rest of the season. Drinkwater has arrived at Villa's Bodymoor Heath training ground to complete a medical and the move is expected to be completed on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has three England caps and helped Leicester City win the Premier League in 2015-16. But he has failed to make an impact at Chelsea following his £40m move from the Foxes in 2017.
In the eyes of the bookies, Leeds were the coming force of British football. In the eyes of the English media, Celtic were a fading power, fortunate to get past Benfica and unlikely to live with Leeds, who'd scored 24 goals en route to the semi-final and had conceded none. Celtic, it was written, had played 14 European Cup games since the glories of Lisbon and had won only five. All of this put into evidence of why Leeds were going to win this tie.
Tottenham looked in trouble at two goals down in the first half, but ran out 4-2 winners over Olympiacos to seal their place in last 16. See alsoMathcast: Tottenham Hotspur v Olympiacos After Jose Mourinho saw his side look superb in the first half against West Ham, they started awfully and were lucky as half time approached to be just two down through a fantastic 25-yard strike from Youseff El Arabi and a close-range strike from Ruben Semedo following terrible defending from a corner.
The Isloch reserves started the season with 2 defeats in the first 2 games but recovered with 3 wins in the next 3 games scoring 11 goals. At home they have won the last 2 games without conceding a goal.
So it was a good win for us and gets us into the next round. Leicester goalscorer Kelechi Iheanacho, talking to BBC MOTD: "We are happy to get the win today and go to the next round. There was a lot of pressure from them. It is very important as a team and as a group of players. We worked really hard to the end and stood our ground. I was a bit nervous because they kept coming. We defended well and in the end we got the win and are through.
After the draw against Koln in round 26, Mainz 05 is 4 points higher than the group holding the red light and it is completely possible to lose a safe position if there is no plan to improve the situation. Mainz lost only 1 match in the last 6 rounds, that effort helped Mainz get out of the red light group but Mainz still needs to accumulate each score to be successful relegation.
Leicester may not have much of a chance of repeating that astonishing romp to the Premier League title, but the way they are performing this season is no less impressive than those glory days of 2015/16. The Foxes head into December in 2nd place in the Premier League, sitting on a comfortable 10 point cushion between themselves and 5th place Wolves.
A remarkably quick recovery from an ankle injury saw Davison come on as a substitute for the North London derby in November, which drew a record-breaking crowd, but the prospect of starting this Sunday against her former side is a tantalising one. I grew up at Arsenal so I have a lot of respect over there still but I think a derby has really boosted the game now – just look at the attendance we had at the derby," she added.
Chesterfield certainly needed that small bump in form as they come into this match still in the relegation places and fearful that they are yet to hit rock bottom. However, the 15 points they have accomplished on their travels is a decent return and shows that they are more than capable of going to an opponents own turf and claiming the points.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-0 in favour of the hosts. Setubal head into the game as the form favourites and will be hoping that a win proves enough to push them into the top six this weekend. Aves have been hopeless on the road this season and despite beating Braga last time out we expect the visitors to return to losing ways on Saturday.
The two sides eventually returned and the game eventually ended in a 2-2 draw, unlike Bayern and Hoffenheim, who played out the last 10 minutes uncompetitively in protest at the banners in the stands. There have been plenty of protests against Hopp across the weekend's action in Germany, with the 79-year-old businessman having become a lightning rod in the country after spending big to help Hoffeinheim transform themselves from a local amateur club to Bundesliga side with regular European qualification.

Opava is in a better form than Marila Pribram at this time of the season. Specifically, Opava has won the last 4/5 matches, winning the last 6/9 matches at home. And coach and coach Pavel Horvath have lost the last 6/7 matches on the away field, the last 4/6 matches, have not won the last 3/5 matches and have not won the last 6/7 matches on the away field. Therefore, Roman Skuhravy's army will likely win against Marila Pribram to bring joy to the home audience. Confrontation history shows that in the last 6 away games at Mestsky Stadium, the team of coach Pavel Horvath won 2 draws 1 lost 3, 4/6 matches ended with at most 2 goals scored, in the last 2 visits Marila Pribram lost 2. Calculating 11 matches past, Opava won 3 draws 2 lost 6, 6/11 matches ended with the most 2 goals scored, only counted 4 times nearest confrontation Opava won 2 draw 1 lost 1.
All high scoring matches for these teams so far both teams seem to be wanting to play their matches more open that means more goals. I think both teams could score in this game because of how each team leaves their defense open and this could mean over 2.5 goals. It has been going over this amount of goals often and no reason for this to not happen again. Have not seen much defense effort from either of these teams and they basically look to just attack fill on in their matches to score goals and look to want to score.

The leaks over the weekend that Tottenham would sell for £200 million and that Kane would be open to a move to Manchester United will have come from somewhere - namely Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Kane respectively. It appears both sides are positioning themselves for the mother of all transfers/divorces [delete as appropriate] come perhaps the summer and there is already an air of inevitability about it.
So I don't think it will be a thriller in any shape or form, especially if Palace are without Wilfried Zaha after he was injured against the Reds. If Burnley's front two, Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood, are still sidelined they will pose less of a threat too.

The Football Association still hopes to finish this season's FA Youth Cup even though the Premier League U18 league was called off earlier this month. The competition had reached the semi-final stage when the season was brought to a halt by the coronavirus pandemic. Chelsea are due to play Manchester United with Blackburn drawn to face Manchester City in the last four. The entire Academy Games programme, from under-9s to under-23s, was brought to an end for the season on 1 May.
Inter have built up some great form in the league of late. They are unbeaten in seven league games, scoring at least twice in each game. The hosts have scored 17 times in that run, while they’ve claimed eight victories in their last 10 matches across all competitions, so we are backing them to claim three points at home to a Roma side who failed to win any trips to the top five last term.
Match stats - Arsenal unbeaten away under ArtetaArsenal have gone 11 games without defeat on the road since a 2-0 loss at Leicester in Unai Emery's last away game in charge. The Gunners have reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in five of the past seven seasons but for the first time since 2016-17, when they won the cup. This was Portsmouth's first defeat at Fratton Park since September 2019 against Southampton in the Carabao Cup (4-0), ending their 19-game unbeaten run at home.
It gives me hope that, if not my son, somebody elsewhere will be recognised from an appeal and reunited with their families. The move by Roma was the idea of their head of strategy, Paul Rogers, who says he became "obsessed" with the story of rock band Soul Asylum, whose video for their early 1990s hit song Runaway Train also featured missing children. We had built up quite a sizable social media presence and going into the summer transfer window, we thought we had an opportunity to do something more meaningful," he tells BBC Sport.
Lincoln City look the favourites given their recent improvements too. They have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four and have averaged 1.78 goals per game at home this season. Peterborough, meanwhile, have failed to score in three of their last four away and have conceded 1.67 goals per game away from home, making a 2-0 win for the hosts look promising.
Birmingham have lost over half of their matches on the road this season. They have struggled defensively on the road, conceding 1.7 goals per game away from home. The Blues head into Saturday’s clash having lost their last two in the Championship, which has left them rooted in the bottom half of the table.
I have some sympathy with manager Dean Smith's post-match comments, where he seemed to suggest his team had been fed to the Wolves. Did you know? Dendoncker has played in 49 games in all competitions this season, the joint-most of any Premier League player alongside team-mates Joao Moutinho and Conor Coady. Forwards - Raheem Sterling (Man City), Danny Ings (Southampton), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) Sterling: If ever you wanted to know what has transformed Raheem Sterling into a top-class player then you needed to do no more than observe his goal that put Newcastle United out of the FA Cup.
