They have had a difficult run-in and they've got away with it. They have also got games against the big teams coming up where no one is giving them a chance, but they actually like those kind of games, especially against the London clubs.

His idea was probably that Neymar could come back to Barcelona and take over as leader when he says his goodbyes perhaps two, three or four years down the line. Messi would love to have him back at the club and I'm sure a real effort will be made this summer to make it happen, not just because Messi would like him there but also because it is what is needed. Neymar and Messi get on very well together on and off the pitch and they are still in touch with each other on a regular basis, including keeping a WhatsApp group with Suarez.
Adama Traore was the sole bright spark, supplying all of Wolves' best moments in open play. According to media reports, Traore was sounded out over pursuing a career in the NFL while at Barcelona.

And Mourinho, who has won his opening three games as Spurs boss, is hoping for a positive reception from the United crowd. I'm not a villain, I'm not an enemy but I am the coach that is trying to win against Manchester United. That's the way I think they are going to look at me,” he said. In relation to [Ole Gunnar] Solskjaer, he is the guy that is trying to win the game for United fans so of course they are going to support him and not support me.

Newcastle improved and after Miguel Almiron struck the post, they equalised when Fabian Schar fired home a volley from Andy Carroll's nod-down. But six minutes after setting up the equaliser, Carroll's mistake led to Everton's winner. Theo Walcott dispossessed the striker and played a pass out wide to Richarlison. The Brazilian sped down the right and delivered an excellent low cross for Calvert-Lewin, who slid in and scrambled home.

Did you know? Kane netted both of his shots on target against Burnley, while also creating two chances for his team-mates. Dominic Calvert-Lewin: The lad is not what I would call a natural finisher but Dominic Calvert-Lewin definitely makes things happen. Everton have had five permanent managers in six years which tells you all you need to know about where they are as a club at the moment. I saw more passion, desire and endeavour against Chelsea than I've seen in the past six years.
Brighton will host Arsenal for this fixture of the league. Of course, Arsenal is more strong team than their opponent. The visitors are favorites in this match. However, Arsenal is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 9th place with 40 points. Also, it should be said, Arsenal is not very good team away from home. I think, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Brighton who's is not very good team in this season. Brighton are currently on the 15th place with 29 points.

Arsenal have beaten just one of the eight teams above them at home this season – Manchester United. Here they have a chance to make it two, but their recent run doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence that they can do this. A shaky defence, has come to cost Arsenal in their last two matches and they will have to be more alert against Liverpool, a team with one of the best attacks in the league this season. This match is known for plenty of goals, and Liverpool’s dominance in the recent past. However, the visitors have not performed so well away from home and with the league already in their wraps, we feel they may play with lesser zeal. On the other hand, Arsenal have all to play for, but have obvious weaknesses and we feel the best result to go for here is a draw.

Progressive carries measures the number times a player brings the ball at least five metres upfield, and a number defenders - rather than traditional 'dribblers' - make this list as a result. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson leads the way and the presence of Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the top 10 it suggests this is a tactic effectively employed by the league leaders. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are redefining the way full-backs play," former Reds striker Peter Crouch said on Match of the Day 2 earlier in November.
Polokwane finally registered a win in the league as they won last round 2-0 at home with Chippa United, but this time their opponents are much tougher with Orlando Pirates used to be fighting season after season for the top places in the league, and this season there is nothing different, being very attacking minded even in away games but they have been conceding goals far more easier.

We got our two goals and it was very comfortable but did we push on from that and create and score more goals? No, we didn't and I would've liked to have scored some more. I was particularly pleased for Callum [Hudson-Odoi], he has had a bad injury, is getting himself fit and getting sharper. His goal was an early settler for us.

Mohamed Salah was in unstoppable mood for most of his first season at Anfield but this was possibly his finest performance in a magnificent campaign. He had already threatened constantly, forcing saves from Roma keeper Alisson (a team-mate in Italy and now again at Anfield) before curling a brilliant shot into the top corner to give Liverpool the lead after 35 minutes. Salah, who had been named PFA player of the year just days earlier, then strode on to Roberto Firmino's pass on the stroke of half-time to loft a classy finish over Alisson as he came out.
Real Madrid have drawn their last two La Liga outings, but they have been good results away to Barca and Valencia (1-1).

The home team have seen three one goal games at home in their past 5 games played here. They can be good at keeping the clean sheets at times making it hard for teams to score against them. They were also able to keep a clean sheet in their last match against Ipswich as well when playing away to them. No team was able to score in that game and both teams defended well, this game was placed only recently. With a game that could be all about defending by the home side could mean another low scoring game tonight

Last week I singled out Mason Holgate for special praise against Chelsea - this week it's Yerry Mina. Had the Colombia international got his block on Greenwood's shot the Duncan Ferguson roadshow would have continued unblemished and experienced a rare victory against Manchester United.
