Bayern have been scoring for fun in Group B so far, averaging 4.2 goal per 90 minutes and hitting three or more goals in four of their five matches.

It was a lead they would hold onto comfortably to move up to fifth place ahead of Thursday's later games. Brighton remain 13th.

Whittingham then moved to Blackburn Rovers, before leaving a year later. But it is with Cardiff the stylish left-footed playmaker is most closely associated. In his 13 years with the club, they reached the 2008 FA Cup final, 2012 League Cup final and won promotion to the Premier League in 2013. Whittingham was a huge fans' favourite at Cardiff, scoring numerous spectacular long-range goals which helped earn him a place in the EFL's team of the decade for 2005-2015.
I never heard a player doubt 'can we play like this, or should we play like this?'"They are all so convinced as he does not leave one drop of a doubt what needs to be done. Arsenal are currently ninth in the league but can move to two points behind Manchester United in fifth if they secure their first win at City since 2015. Defending champions City, who are 25 points adrift of leaders Liverpool, were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the derby on Sunday.
Everton have offered left-back Leighton Baines a one-year extension to his contract. The 35-year-old, who has 30 England caps, has been at the club since 2007 when he joined from Wigan for £6m. The new deal would allow Baines to conclude his career at a club for whom he has made 417 appearances. Although he has played only three times under new boss Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian praised Baines' off-field contribution earlier this season.

Because if you have watched Palace regularly you will be more than aware that the 33-year-old has a legitimate claim to having been one of the best shot-stoppers in the Premier League this season. Signed in the summer of 2018, Guaita didn’t make his Premier League debut until December that year where he was fortunate not to be caught out by Jamie Vardy early on but later made an excellent save to deny the forward as Palace beat the Foxes 1-0.
The last three encounters between these two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals while no more than two goals have been scored in three of Den Haag’s and four of Groningen’s last five matches, so you can begin to see why we are backing a low-scoring draw this weekend.

Italy’s struggle to contain their Coronavirus outbreak has seen the government impose bans on sporting events in some regions.
He didn't make a particularly brilliant job of that in his last weeks in Manchester and, as happened so often then, tonight he spent long periods in his technical area with his hands in his pockets watching his team get outplayed. His substitutes failed to inspire and with eight goals conceded in four games, Mourinho evidently has some work to do defensively. At the end, he moved to shake Solskjaer's hand before striding purposefully away to try and lift his players.
Rangers and Feyenoord have been charged by Uefa for the "setting off of fireworks" during their Europa League draw in Rotterdam last week. The Dutch side have also been charged over blocked stairways at their De Kuip stadium. The case will be assessed at a Uefa meeting on 27 February.

The home team is not too worried about ensuring relegation, because they are 12 points ahead of the team with the red light. And if you win this match, that risk will be almost no when the gap widens to 15 points. Meanwhile, Leganes are still diving in the penultimate position of this season's table. Although the distance between them and the safety group is only 7 points, meaning that the opportunity for relegation is still for the visitors, the recent performance has not improved, leaving Leganes still standing still without break out.
Emmen have failed to score in 31% of their matches this season and Sparta have failed to score in 25% of their Eredivisie games, making it very possible that one or both teams will fail to find the back of the net on Sunday. The form and performances of both teams heading into this weekends’ clash certainly suggest that a 0-0 draw could be on the cards as neither team is playing their best right now and both sides have failed to score in recent matches.
Derby are currently 16th in the Championship under manager Phillip Cocu, nine points adrift of the play-off places. On the challenge facing him in the Championship, Rooney added: "The difference here is it is a very tight league. We're not where we want to be but we're not too far off the play-off spots.

It was the first time I'd ever received abuse and I didn't know what to do, so I just turned around and gave some verbals back, which I shouldn't have.

Sunny believes his job as a prison officer has helped him as he has made his way up the refereeing ladder.
Paper Round's view: Blind could be a very shrewd signing from the Gunners this summer. He is a player that possesses plenty of quality, but once former Netherlands boss Louis van Gaal had left Manchester United, Blind fell out of favour at Old Trafford. He has proved his quality in the Champions League recently and his calmness, leadership and experience would certainly improve the Arsenal defence.

People here look back to the side that won our one and only Africa Cup of Nations in 1976 and we've also had the likes of Mustapha Hadji and Noureddine Naybet.
