It was a first defeat since Boxing Day but they will rue another missed chance to improve their top-four claims after also drawing at Brighton earlier this month. The Blues remain five points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, who face Liverpool on Sunday. But the lack of firepower up front may sharpen Lampard's intentions to recruit a striker during the transfer window after being linked with the likes of RB Leipzig's Timo Werner.
Heidenheim take their shaky away record to the best home side in the division here. Hamburg have a near-perfect record at this ground so far, having won all but one of their matches at home in the league. Each of their last six 2. Bundesliga games here have seen them win, while they’ve scored twice in five straight home league games.
It's a game that will become legendary for the fans. We're back in the best eight sides in Europe and have beaten an extraordinary opponent. Barcelona have Messi, we have Oblak' Only v Bayern Munich in May 2016 (nine) has Jan Oblak made more saves in a Champions League game than against Liverpool (eight)Simeone has been in charge of Atletico since 2011 and, remarkably, has only lost a tie in the knockout stages of the Champions League since at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Even away from home, Rangers, who've scored an impressive 17 goals in seven travelling matches, have made light work of getting the job done. We're in December and Gerrard's title-challengers are still unbeaten away from home. Every other team in the division has tasted defeat at least once on the road.
With the Premier League season on hold, the fight to avoid relegation must wait. With Norwich six points from safety at the bottom, boss Daniel Farke had already said the Canaries need a "miracle" to stay up. We're yet to find out when - or if - Norwich will resume their battle to beat the drop, but they will be able to take inspiration from previous survival acts. Here we look back at the Premier League's great escapes - and you can let us know which one you think is the greatest by voting at the bottom of the page.
The German 2nd Division this season is only 3 rounds away and the battle for the Bundesliga promotion is still going on fiercely. Leading the race is Bielefeld (58 points), followed by Hamburg (53 points) and Stuttgart (52 points) respectively. It should be remembered that the top two teams in the final table will have a direct ticket to the Bundesliga while the third team must play the playoff match with the Bundesliga representative (on 16/18) to win the remaining ticket. Standing right behind is Heidenheim (4th) with 51 points.
Wales manager Ryan Giggs says he is trying to "look at the positives" of Euro 2020 being postponed until next summer. Uefa made the decision on 18 March to push the event back a year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The tournament, due to take place from 12 June-12 July this summer, will now run from 11 June to 11 July next year. We were all geared up for the summer and had good momentum. Of course that's the negative," said Giggs.
Hearts and Partick Thistle have lodged a petition with the Court of Session to challenge their relegations. In a joint statement, they say they "have no wish to disrupt" Scottish football, but "reserve the right" to try to delay the Premiership season. The pair had their demotions confirmed on Monday when clubs failed to support league reconstruction. It followed a vote to curtail the term, with Hearts bottom of the Premiership and Thistle last in the Championship.

He does not want to hear any offer from anyone at the moment and wants to stay at Real Madrid until the last day of his contract. If he was to move it would only be on the condition that he would be earning more than he is currently earning at Real Madrid, because otherwise what would be the point of moving? And he knows nobody will offer that. If you want to know where to find the real passion that Bale has for the game then you will see it when he is playing with his mates for Wales, which kind of flies in the face of the theory that he doesn't care and is only interested in the money.
The Swede, who joined the Italian club for a second time on a free transfer in December, swept in a finish on the 64th minute after Rafael Leao's deflected strike broke the deadlock early in the second half. Ibrahimovic, who made his second debut for the club off the bench during Monday's 0-0 draw with Sampdoria, has now scored a top-flight senior goal in four different decades.
But we need the next level now. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, Manchester United’s Casey Stoney and former United States coach Jill Ellis are among the names to be linked with the job. Brown-Finnis, who made 82 appearances for the Lionesses, says Hayes and Stoney may not have the required experience for the role yet, but someone of Ellis’ profile is the type of candidate the Football Association should be looking at.
Palmeiras have nothing of note left to play for but won their first match under caretaker boss Andrey Lopes via a 5-1 margin in midweek against Goias, so are clearly still a motivated outfit. Gabriel Veron, a youngster with an ever-growing reputation came off the bench to notch twice in said win and could start this Sunday, as Palmeiras look to set a foundation for their return in 2020.
Amiens have lost their last 3 matches. They have never been good in defense and playing awful lately. They have also conceded 11 goals in their last 3 matches and 7 of them came against weaker opponents. But their home form has generally been very good this season. They have won 3 of their last 4 home matches before losing to Strasbourg by 4-0 goals.
No-one knows what sort of performance you're going to get from the north Londoners these days and Jose Mourinho's post-match comment - "I'm not selfish but I only care about Spurs" - rather reflects the confusion in the ranks under his management recently. It's just as well Son is on top of his game at the moment. The South Korean might save Tottenham's season and to some extent Mourinho's overblown reputation.
The hosts have at least entertained us this term with an attacking style, which is a huge improvement on the side who couldn’t score last season and ended up in early relegation trouble. This term there’s at least the basic tools they need in order to survive, but their defence remains a major issue going into this game.
Like most of the global sporting calendar, soccer has ground to a halt as countries battle to contain the virus and FIFA said in a statement that it would launch a series of live chats with former players at 1800 GMT on Thursday. Former Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar will launch the initiative on Thursday by answering questions from fans in a live Twitter session.
While the Bees' new home is less than a mile down the road, football fans across the country will undoubtedly be sad to see Griffin Park go - for it is only football ground in England with a pub on every corner. However, travelling fans will not go thirsty at the Brentford Community Stadium, as it reportedly hosts 17 bars. Man of the match - Emiliano Marcondes (Brentford) Emiliano Marcondes scored the goal which secured Brentford's passage into the FA Cup fourth round and he impressed again, coming close to a goal on several occasions while driving the Bees forward at every opportunity'I was a bit nervous but in the end we got the win' - what they saidLeicester manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BBC MOTD: "I thought the first 25 minutes we were very good, but we were then loose in our passing.
We must look to the premier league in Egypt to find this match between EnPPi vs Al Mokawloon. A difficult task for the host ENPPI, because Mokawloon seems to be difficult to overcome, especially away. The away record of 6-0-1 with 9: 3 goals shows this clearly. The last away matches 3: 1 and three times 1:0! I believe in a point split here that could easily end 0-0 or 1-1. A match where both teams often play below 2.5 goals, but the odds of 1.55 are not good enough in my opinion. I believe in draw here in this match.
Burnley have two straight wins at home ahead of this game. In their last eight FA Cup matches, they have four wins and three losses; they have eight wins and a loss in their last 10 FA Cup matches played at home. Burnley have beaten Norwich in six of their last 10 meetings and have failed to score in just one of the last 13 meetings with Norwich.
Madrid substitute Rodrygo pulled a goal back to make it 4-2 after his Brazilian team mate Vinicius Jr had a strike ruled out for offside following a VAR review, while Nacho struck in added time for the hosts to set up a tense finish. Sociedad defender Andoni Gorosabel was sent off in stoppage time but Madrid could not find an equaliser and suffered their first defeat in any competition since losing 1-0 at Real Mallorca on Oct.

Follow live text and reaction to all Wednesday's Premier League matchesMourinho's return well-receivedAs expected, Mourinho was well received by the United fans, who never fell out with their former manager and have no particular axe to grind with him. That respect will never match the affection Old Trafford has for Solskjaer though. And the Norwegian used memories from his playing days to get the crowd up for the game by emerging last from the tunnel, triggering a song in his honour and the start of what proved to be a lively atmosphere.
71% of the hosts’ home games have produced over 1.5 goals as have 100% of the visitors’ away games, with Gil Vicente only failing to score in 29% of their home games. Guimaraes are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road but have only failed to score in 17% of their away days, while 43% of Gil Vicente’s home games and 50% of Guimaraes’ away games have produced exactly two goals, which adds further weight to our predictions for Sunday’s clash.
Game on! 53' - GOAL! Inter Milan 2-2 AC Milan (Vecino): Inter are level! Sanchez breaks the offside trap and makes a really clever ball behind the defence, drawing Donnarumma off his line. He pulls it back to Vecino, who slots it home! VAR rules that Sanchez was onside and parity is restored! 70' - GOAL! Inter Milan 3-2 AC Milan (De Vrij): The comeback is complete! De Vrij dives in front of Romagnoli and sends the Inter fans wild with a stooped header.

All 12 Liverpool league games this season have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Liverpool have only scored one away league goal all season. The last two Everton games have only had two goals scored in them. The reverse fixture saw Everton win 1-0. The tables are turned in the Women's Super League and it's Everton who are higher in the league than Liverpool.
The visitors head here having won four of their last five matches, while they are trying to build on a fine record against the lesser sides. They’ve won against eight of the bottom nine so far, while we expect them to add to that by defeating Stoke. We’re going with Sheffield Wednesday for the win, with the Owls well priced despite their form.
PSG operate at extremely high standards pretty much all the time but even they looked in need of a rest before the international break, as they really had to slog their way to wins over Club Brugge (1-0) and Brest (2-1). These two games followed their 2-0 defeat to Dijon and it was clear the shocking effects of that defeat were still showing; but PSG still did well to get the three points in both games, creating a multitude of chances in the Brest game especially.
The so-called failure at Manchester United still included Carabao Cup and Europa League success in his first season. This is different. Yes, many Spurs fans had questioned Pochettino's approach and demeanour this season, but the 47-year-old still retained huge affection and admiration for what he had achieved. Mourinho's arrival has not just been greeted in many quarters with suspicion and incredulity, but also hostility on two counts.

However, the champions are still a whopping 14 points behind leaders Liverpool. Arsenal have now failed to win any of their last six home matches in all competitions with caretaker boss, Freddie Ljungberg struggling to spark any obvious improvement since Unai Emery's departure. The Gunners are ninth and seven points adrift of the Champions League places.
The hosts have only managed to score 4 goals in their own backyard this season while Moreirense have netted just 6 times on the road, showing you just why we believe there is a good chance Saturday’s clash will end goalless. Tondela have kept clean sheets in 29% of their home games but have failed to score in 43% of those matches, while Moreirense have failed to score in half of their away games.
Rangers have played one game fewer but now find themselves further behind than at any other stage this season. Hearts carved out some good chances themselves, but Fraser Forster denied Jamie Walker on multiple occasions to maintain his clean sheet, and substitute Marcel Langer was shown a late red card. Daniel Stendel's side remain one point behind Hamilton Academical at the foot of the table, and host the Lanarkshire club on Saturday.
Rangers were pegged back in their own right-back position, level with their own penalty area and facing a Celtic throw-in. Ryan Jack won it off Callum McGregor and 28 seconds later the ball was in the back of Celtic's net. Jack, Steven Davis, Glen Kamara, Joe Aribo, Alfredo Morelos, Barisic and finally Kent all got touches. Seven Rangers players taking it virtually the length of the pitch in the backyard of the champions and then finishing clinically and brilliantly - if that goal didn't make Celtic people gulp at the battle ahead to achieve nine in a row then they haven't yet woken up to the danger coming at them from the other side of the city.
The home side grew in confidence, with the breakthrough coming giftwrapped. James Tavernier struggled to clear, Lewis Moore chased what looked to be a lost cause, cut the ball back for Bozanic after McGregor had committed himself, and the ball was hammered home from close range. Rangers pushed forward, leaving gaps at the back.
It’s a testament to how well Leicester have performed this season that, despite failing to win three matches on the trot, they remain comfortably inside the Premier League top four. With matches against the likes of Newcastle, Southampton, Burnley and West Ham coming up in the next month, this is the perfect chance for Leicester to strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification.
I cant realize why on Earth Plymouth Argyle is favorite in this game? They are member of League 2 and had some good results lately, but it is not so convincing as bookies think about. They had several 1-0 victories and if you ask me, they are far from favorite in this game. Bristol Rovers lately in League 1 playing fantastic football specially away from home. This is replay match and they love to play on contra attacks and they are most dangerous when they playing in that way. So if you ask me these odds are to good to miss.
That's the last time I saw her moving. I was standing there like 'what the hell?'""It was 2am and her parents were probably only half an hour away from arriving. The doctor took me into a quiet room and said 'Sarah's really, really sick and if she does survive there's a 99% chance she'll be a vegetable. I just broke down. Then, when her parents arrived, I had to tell them. And the whole time I thought it was my fault: 'I should've known, we should've brought her sooner.
