Both sides are in good form but the fact this game is being played at Managua is the key factor. They have won five out of five at home in the Nicaraguan Premier Division this season. Real Esteli have won four in a row but three of those victories came at home. Their away form isn't that great and Managua can beat them to complete a league double.
We have to think about the derby and game by game. It's not just the Premier League. We have the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League so we just have to take this rhythm into the next set of fixtures. Liverpool will look to extend that gap back to 11 points over City when hosting Everton tonight.
I think Arsenal will win this game easily enough because of their firepower and the fact Southampton are in a mess - they have taken only one point from their past seven league games. But I don't think that victory on Saturday will mean Arsenal's problems are over. They are still far too much of a soft touch at the back. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sonny's prediction: I'm going with the upset here. Bournemouth v WolvesThis game might seem like it is on the undercard of West Ham versus Spurs or Manchester City against Chelsea but it shouldn't be.
Bolton's final Championship (second tier) match last season against Brentford was postponed and later cancelled after players boycotted the game over unpaid wages. This season, their fourth League One game against Doncaster in August was postponed as the club, who fielded only three senior players in a game three days earlier, were concerned about the welfare of their younger players.
It was clearly misunderstood and it was said in the attempt to downplay an excessive media exposure and aimed at protecting the player. Brescia, who lost 3-0 to Roma at the weekend, are bottom of Serie A, four points from safety after two wins from their opening 12 matches. Balotelli has scored two goals in seven appearances since joining his hometown club in August. He was called "arrogant" by Brescia's ultras group following his reaction to racist abuse from Verona supporters earlier this season.

I think in this match there should be more advantages for the Plzen as the match will be played behind closed doors. This should be a very balanced match because both teams are very good teams and playing very well this season. This is a cup match and it's quite possible that this match could go into extra time.
Despite having a 25-point lead at the top of the table, Liverpool seem strangely vulnerable right now after four of their last six matches ended in defeat. A lowly 12th in the table, Everton, ten points clear of relegation and eight away from a European place, are hardly coming into this in cracking form either.
It was not disclosed whether Jans had directed his comments toward a player, a group of players or in another context. Multiple reports said the word was part of the lyrics to a song Jans was singing in the team's locker room. Racial and cultural diversity is a major part of what makes the game of soccer so special, and we place the highest priority on respecting every person involved in our game," said Berding.
Carlo Ancelotti is Everton's first choice to be their new manager with the Toffees set to intensify their attempts to secure a deal for the Italian. However, reports that the 60-year-old was on Merseyside on Monday to hold talks were wide of the mark. Ancelotti was sacked by Napoli after taking them into the Champions League knockout stages. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri sees the three-time Champions League winner as a big name to underline his ambitions.

Burnley v Luton Town preview: Team news, head-to 6 hours ago — Preview followed by live coverage of Friday's Premier League game between Burnley and Luton Town.
Osasuna are on the road, are a new entrant into this competition, and have a total of four wins on the road this whole season – two of which were against teams from lower division, and the other two against the bottom-most two teams in the league. Likely, expect the hosts Villarreal to record a win this Sunday.
Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester lacked patience - Rodgers This is all bolstering the seemingly unbreakable confidence of a team that have looked on a mission from day one of the campaign, determined to make up for the disappointment, at least in the Premier League context, of last season. Liverpool did not lose the title last season. Manchester City won it. There were no questions about the Reds' mental strength.
The match was tough, it opens your eyes somewhat. The last Premier League performance (a 2-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur) was very good. In the bigger picture it was a lesson for the players. They were better than us. It was a reality check for all of us. I thought we could perform better, but we are in fourth and we have to fight until the end.
EFLAs the EFL explained in its statement, the disciplinary cases around Sheffield Wednesday and Derby are being dealt with by an independent panel. Insiders accept the unsatisfactory nature of the situation but it is being stressed the cases must be heard "expeditiously and fairly". Without knowing when the verdicts will be released, it is impossible to know what the speed and status of any appeals will be.
The Euro 2020 draw takes place on Saturday from 17:00 GMT in Bucharest - live on BBC Two - with England and Wales waiting to discover their opponents. Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will also be watching with interest - with all three sides playing in the play-offs next March. But the unique nature of this tournament - with the qualified countries of the 12 host cities having to be placed in specific groups - means some things have already been decided.
We are going to go for a draw today in this match the truth is that it seems very likely that this can happen is a team that is playing at a pretty good level comes from doing in their last away game a very good game against the second classified and I think that today they can even win this game by the local team is a team which in its stadium still does not know what it is to win and I think that is why today the visiting team can win this confrontation and even more considering that he comes from winning his last match by 3 to 1 and who the record between these two teams has never lost
Real Esteli are chasing the league leaders hard and can secure another three points here. Their away form isn't that great but they take on a side that are in poor form. Walter Ferretti have lost four of their last five in the league and will do well to avoid defeat here. Go for an away win.

I know that at that point, the different players and clubs were already talking about (doing) stuff and you could argue that institutionally football didn’t get out of the traps but I think inevitably and it gets thrown at the named players," he said. The players have pointed out that many of them do extensive charity and community work and donate large sums to good causes.

The 'Matildas' meet Taiwan on Friday before facing Thailand (Feb. China (Feb. Sydney from Wuhan, China, due to the coronavirus epidemic. I'm not going to be taking any risks. It's day to day, really," the 26-year-old striker told reporters at the team's Sydney hotel on Wednesday.

Since his return Chelsea haven't looked back and would have struggled without the German. Maguire, on the other hand, actually carried Manchester United until Bruno Fernandes burst onto the scene. Not to acknowledge Maguire's contribution to United's top-four achievement would have been an outrage. That is why I have selected the England centre-back in my team of the season. Did you know? Maguire became the first outfield player to start every league match for Manchester United in a season since Gary Pallister in 1994-95.
Until the tension-fuelled final months when the Pochettino became unsettled and a more distant figure, he forged the closest of bonds with his players. Mourinho, in contrast, is hardline. He constantly puts players to the test and can be ruthlessly dismissive when those demands are not met. Pochettino could certainly see players off when no longer fitting his system, but he was largely a supportive, sympathetic figure.
He is 11. His whole family has to come down from Scotland. They are spending 39 nights away from home, in a hotel. It is Christmas. Why should any child have to go through it? I know what he is going through. If I can make one day out of, in Kieran's case 40, better than the one before, he will remember it and there might not be as many lows.
With a few draws of people in the same area of the table as us, it was very important to get three points. We still have an eye on fourth. It was a match where you know the quality of the opponent. You want to win, but you can lose. I'm delighted with the boys. His counterpart, Man City boss Pep Guardiola, was left to bemoan his side's bad luck, with Spurs being outplayed for much of the game before Oleksandr Zinchenko's red card sparked a collapse which saw Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min score two goals in quick succession.
In a reversal of the first half, Giroud should have doubled Chelsea's advantage within minutes of the restart, but Lerma's 54th-minute equaliser saw another momentum swing. The hosts fought hard defensively to protect their slender lead, but Chelsea's late pressure eventually told as Alonso popped up in the right place once again.
Emery won only four of his 15 Premier League games this season, while Arteta has won eight of his 18 in charge following Freddie Ljungberg's spell as stand-in. Arsenal were 11th when Emery left in December but in a league table comprised only of results since Arteta took over, the Gunners would be fifth behind Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, with 30 points from those 18 games.
Some of the visitors walked through the city centre firing Nazi salutes. Relations went downhill from there. At the stadium itself, some Celtic supporters displayed a banner depicting an image of the dead Benito Mussolini's hanging body. Celtic were fined for it. Il Duce's outraged granddaughter, Alessandra, immediately got involved, calling the banner an act of violence. She termed it Ducephobia, "a crime that doesn't yet exist but which I propose to include in our judicial system".
The Manchester City family are devastated to report the death today of Pep's mother Dolors Sala Carrió in Manresa, Barcelona after contracting coronavirus.

Manchester City have successfully overturned their two-year ban from European club competitions. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) announced the club were cleared of "disguising equity funds as sponsorship contributions". Uefa issued the ban in February after ruling City had committed "serious breaches" of Financial Fair Play regulations between 2012 and 2016. City's fine has been cut from 30m euros (£26.
Atalanta are still waiting for their first win in this group. They are really struggling to keep a clean sheet conceding 12 goals already in 4 games. However, they are the most productive team in the Serie A and in the last 3 Champions League matches they have also scored.

Motherwell assistant manager Keith Lasley: "[Stephen Robinson] and I were at the Hibs game last week and they [St Mirren] were unlucky to lose that game. The Aberdeen game was a similar story, they had chances to not only draw the game but possibly win it. Did you know? Motherwell's 4-0 win at home to St Johnstone at the weekend was their biggest margin of victory in a Scottish Premiership match since they beat opponents St.
