Prior to the trip to Dens Park, the league leaders' preparations were less than ideal. Former Hearts midfielder Kenny Black: ''A virus swept through the team that week. Four or five us were affected, including me, Craig Levein and Brian Whittaker. Brian was deemed fit enough to start but we knew he wouldn't last the whole game. I was only fit enough for the bench and would have to come on at half-time.
These two sides have seen both teams score in each of their last six meetings, while Preston have had 70% of their home games finish with both teams hitting the back of the net. We see these two sides sharing the spoils on Tuesday, with Fulham recording three draws in their five meetings with the top nine, with both teams scoring in each. That has us backing a 1-1 draw in midweek at Deepdale.
Three Liverpool players in the top five there, which is an achievement in itself. MESSI WINS HIS SIXTH BALLON D'OR What an achievement. The GOAT? Might well be. Virgil van Dijk comes in second with five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo third. Just to round out the top five by the way, Sadio Mane was fourth and Mo Salah sixth.
Positioned in the top six, Rotherham are a strong side, a side that is very much in the promotion mix, though their recent efforts haven't been great. Prior to their Boxing Day win at New Meadow, which is not to be sniffed at, The Millers had gone four games without tasting victory. If they're to maintain their position inside the play-off place, then they'll need to get better at getting their noses in front.
Pinpointing the precise moment when it all began to unravel for Manuel Pellegrini at West Ham is fairly easy. Saturday, 28 September. Bournemouth away. Up to that point, West Ham had enjoyed a pretty good start to the season. The previous week they had beaten Manchester United at London Stadium and were fifth in the Premier League with 11 points from six games, level on points with a Leicester side with whom they were expected to compete as the most likely outsider to gatecrash the 'top six'.

Smolevichi never won 5 starting rounds, having obtained only 3 draw outcomes (Dynamo Brest, Shakhtar, Belshina). The team scored only 2 goals and together with the Brest Rukh is the most ineffective team of the Higher League. The wards of Brazevich have absolutely the worst xG in the championship (3.1), but the second statistics in the league in terms of accuracy of transfers (83%). On average, the Smolevich game scheme changes per game 2-3 times. The red-blue started the last meeting with Belshina from 4-2-3-1 with the defenders Raschein and Butarevich, and in the second half the team switched to 4-1-4-1 in defense and tactics with three center defenses. Coach Brazevich is trying to find the optimal strategy, realizing that he has one of the weakest league rosters. Against Minsk Dynamo Smolevichi will bet on defense, hoping for a counterattack by the fast Po and Muhammedov.
Cornet cancelled out Jimmy Briand’s early opener after the break and set up Moussa Dembele for the second as OL, who have 29 points from 20 games, moved from 12th to fifth. Bordeaux, who had not lost in the last 33 league games in which they had opened the scoring, stayed 13th on 26 points. Briand intercepted a poor back pass from Joachim Andersen to beat keeper Anthony Lopes from close range in the 15th minute.

The last two playoff winners clash on Saturday, with both sides hoping to deal a knockout blow. This encounter is a rematch of the 2018 playoff final, which saw Fulham edge out Villa to make the Premier League. However, the Cottagers were sent packing from the top flight after a season, while Villa were celebrating promotion.
Hudson-Odoi and Christian Pulisic have qualities but football is not about individuals, it’s about team performance. We are relatively confident, I feel pretty good with the draw. City have money, but we're Real Madrid' Emilio Butragueno is not fazed by the prospect of his Real Madrid side taking on Manchester City in the next round of the Champions League.
Yet afterwards the modest Son said he only kept going because he failed to find Dele Alli to pass to. When I got the ball and tried to pass it to Dele but I couldn't find him so I just kept going. I am happy to score this goal," he said. Kane admitted Son deserved the attention after his stunning effort.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premier League for over a year now and just keep on winning games. If it's not their attackers scoring goals, it's their defenders who are also consistently providing assists. With a 13 point lead and a game in hand (like they need that), it's hard to see Liverpool coming even close to messing this up.

In terms of this competition, Liverpool could become victims of their own success. They are also in action this week in the Club World Cup taking place in Qatar. That means Liverpool will be fielding a vastly inexperienced team for this match. They would have fielded a weakened line-up anyway but not one that resembles a youth team with a few over-age players.
Will Leicester lack belief against Liverpool? Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City: 'Tonight's loss is a lesson' - Rodgers With Liverpool heading to King Power Stadium on Thursday, this week was always going to define the direction of Leicester's season - and this was obviously not the start they would have wanted. Rodgers' gameplan of conceding territory and possession was understandable given the weapons his side have but, with Manchester City on their game, giving them so much of the ball was asking for trouble.

Tottenham say their initial findings following the alleged racist abuse of Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger are "inconclusive" but a "thorough" investigation will continue. Play was stopped during Chelsea's win at Spurs on Sunday after Rudiger said he heard monkey noises.

All things considered, we just can't look beyond the visitors and feel that backing an away win provides good value at current prices. Stevenage can't score goals, can't keep them out and with Colchester boasting an array of attacking talent, we fancy them to notch a couple of times in a comfortable 2-0 win.

Rianna Dean's hat-trick - including two from the spot - guided Spurs past spirited second-tier side Coventry United at the Butts Park Arena, after Siri Worm's curling opener had given them the lead, while Lucia Leon also got in on the act.
But more than anything, clubs, especially in the non-league, could die" When people talk about no Premier League, well what about ones who rely on football, have put their life into it? I relate to this because I started in the lower leagues and I managed in non-leagues and I feel sorry for them. It’s all well and good a lot of these Premier League clubs not getting their gate receipts, but they’re still earning off everything that goes with them as a club with their marketing tools.

We did not do it well in the second half,” said Dortmund captain Marco Reus. All three goals could have been avoided. It was a good game from both but a point from this game is far too little for us.

Leeds and West Brom. Round 44: Tuesday, 14th July (15:00 BST)Fulham have featured heavily in our must-watch games, not only because they're right in the mix for automatic promotion but also because they face each of the other teams in the top four. Three games from the end of the season, they are set to face the Baggies in what could be a crucial match. Could Albion be closing in on the title? Might this game seal Leeds and West Brom as the top two?
