The futures of Blues wingers Willian and Pedro are yet to be decided, but it is understood Hudson-Odoi is looking forward to the competition. Asked if he had seen any frustration from Hudson-Odoi over a lack of playing time, Lampard said: "No, but I'd expect my players to want to play as much as they can. I pick a lot on how players train daily and what they can give us, so it's the same as every other player.

PSG host Galatasaray in the Champions League. Thanks to four wins and a draw so far, Paris Saint-Germain have already secured themselves a spot in the knockout rounds as Group A winners.
Their weakness has been in defence though, conceding the same amount as they’ve scored and looking a little off the pace. This is to be expected as they come to terms with the league and the quality of some the opposing attacking line ups. They’ve generally been able to hold their own though and will be confident of coming away from Brisbane with a result.

For the games on 26 and 27 December, he is up against singer-songwriter and Sheffield Wednesday fan Richard Hawley, whose latest album 'Further' is out now.
Atletico have been below-par this season, lying fourth and seven points behind leaders Barcelona, but things could have been a lot worse if Correa had departed.

Haaland described Solskjaer as having a "huge impact on my life both as a person and a coach" and made no secret of his desire to play in England.

What happened here is outrageous. I know the fans here are very passionate about their club and many fans are not represented by some of the people who were in the crowd today.

Whilst managing progress in that competition, Pepe Bordalas' charges have latched onto the leading bunch in La Liga following a shaky start and go into Sunday's game 7th and just two points behind the European spots. You sense that Getafe will start making some real headway once they can put Europa League matters aside for the winter months, but four points from their last four fixtures is still a healthy return.

They were off the pace from the start and Praet's tap-in from Vardy's cross came from their first real chance. And while they did improve in the second half, with Maddison dictating play with more composure, they were still unable to play with their usual flow. They were also more open at the back than usual, too, with holding midfielder Hamza Choudhury unable to give his back four the same protection usually provided by the injured Wilfred Ndidi.

By then, over the two legs, they had been behind for 129 minutes, and had then spent another 97 minutes level. After so much hard work to get on top an obdurate Atletico side, they surrendered their advantage after only 167 seconds - and it was all their own fault. They were in control but it was as if they felt like they needed to score another goal to finish Atletico off. I can understand why, because Liverpool are very good attacking team and they had played well, and created a lot of chances.

Gary Holt's men have only been beaten twice on home 'plastic' this term in the league, but have just managed to win that same amount on their travels. To be fair, Lyndon Dykes' late strike was unfortunate not to nestle in the net, while Rangers keeper Alan McGregor continues to defy his years. It's clear Livingston will not be in trouble this season as they sit four points adrift of third place, but turning these tight away defeats into points could be the key to elevating them even higher.
Well this is going to be a match between two similar teams when it comes to quality and experience but I give a little advantage to Lindome because they are more stable club. Lindome started with 2 wins over Lunds and Eskilsminne while at the previous round they lost from Varnamo as expected but all in all very good performances so far from them. On the other hand Tvaaker are not a team that can have some big ambitions. They are just a solid team. They started with a surprising won over Karlskrona but after that they lost from Assyrska and somehow with a lot of luck drawing with Utsiktens

It should be those with the broadest shoulders who go first because they can carry the greatest burden and have probably got savings, rather than those who were in catering or hospitality who have probably got no savings and live week by week and who probably won’t get the (government) benefits for five weeks," he told the BBC.
Special ones?It is harder to nail down iconic starting XIs the more recent you look, with managers increasingly rotating their sides to cope with the demands of the modern game.

I dreamed of this. Ighalo's night to remember Most of Odion Ighalo's touches came in the final third. It was Ighalo's fourth game for United - albeit the previous three had totalled 33 minutes - and it was also his first ever goal in European competition. Ighalo's performance kept Bruges' defenders on their toes. While he only had 40 touches - the fewest of any United outfield player to play the whole game - he worked hard and most of his involvements were in dangerous areas.
