The new-look 24-team Club World Cup, the brainchild of FIFA president Gianni Infantino, would be the biggest so far, taking place across eight Chinese cities, and including eight teams from Europe with six from South America. Until now, the competition has featured seven teams. Infantino has been keen for FIFA to get more involved in club football to reduce its financial dependency on the four-yearly international World Cup.
The Spaniard joined City from Valencia in 2010 and has gone on to win four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and five League Cups and could yet end his time at the club with more silverware. So how should Silva be honoured by the club when he leaves? Does he deserve a statue at Etihad Stadium?"I don't know," said boss Pep Guardiola. This club had many incredible top players. Pablo Zabaleta, Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany, Silva, Sergio Aguero, these types of guys.
It was not long ago that you could say the same about Villa, who went on an identical run at the start of October, but they have lost their past three league games. Villa have not really recovered from losing so late on against Liverpool, and the past few weeks have been a bit of reality check for them. That is what life is like for a promoted team, with as many downs as ups, but I think Villa will be smiling again on Monday night.
Lazio came back strongly and after a series of crosses into the area and penalty appeals, their pressure was rewarded when Luis Alberto swung in an inviting cross for Luiz Felipe to score with a glancing header. Cuadrado was handed a controversial red cardGetty Images Luis Alberto also set up the second when he launched a ball over the Juventus defence and Milinkovic-Savec brilliantly pulled it down and flicked it past Szczesny.
The 55-year-old who won the 1990 World Cup as a player with West Germany, has also coached the German national team, leading them to a third place finish at the 2006 World Cup at home. He was sacked from his U. S. World Cup qualifiers and the team eventually failed to qualify for the tournament in Russia.
Claude Puel's Sainté side have slowed down in recent weeks after their whirlwind first few games under the Frenchman. They have won just one of their last five games in all competitions with a loss and two draws in their last three games. ASSE fans must be happy with their side's defensive improvements though as they have been much more solid when playing at home. They have four clean sheets in their last six home games but just the three goals from open play in this time so they could do with some improving up top.
Tranmere’s incredible comeback against Watford at Vicarage Road was the story of the Third Round, but that hasn’t earned this clash a TV slot. Despite that, the encounter between the pair gave us a brilliant 3-3 draw, with Watford blowing a 3-0 lead and nearly losing the tie altogether.
Fortuna's Rouwen Hennings has also been enjoying an exceptional run of form in recent weeks. Hennings is the Bundesliga's third-highest goalscorer at present, scoring nine Bundesliga goals this season.

Another very interesting match from Tajikistan elite league, where new season is just begin. So, of course, like a lot of people, I also just "learning" this teams or it is better to say, the way how they are playing. In first round. Istaravshan is lost 2-1, but for me is more interesting the fact that they are in last six matches, played even five times with three or more goals, if we count and friendly duels. Kuktosh is played very strange in last two matches, 0-0 and before that one, even 5-3. Over is ok here and I will try.
For both of these clubs, this is an important month for them. Good form will have them dreaming of a top ten finish, perhaps even getting into the Europa League. A run of bad results could see them dragged into a relegation battle. Palace have won three home league games but there haven't been many goals being scored. Brighton are inconsistent and need to build on that win at the Emirates. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the recommended one for this game.
Real Madrid host Managua FC in liga primera clausura, Nicaragua. Managua FC is huge favorite for the win, despite the fact that they are playing away.

Forrest's injury-time strike - set up by Edouard - put a gloss on the scoreline that was harsh on Accies and flattering to Celtic. But this was another massive win for the champions. Great credit to Accies but they stay bottom as Celtic move further clear. Man of the match - Odsonne EdouardOgkmpoe's first-half display deserves a further mention, as does Alex Gogic's defensive performance almost throughout.
The hosts may have taken a hit of late, but this clash could put them back on track. Inter head into this game with a six-game winning streak at home to Genoa behind them.

Besa Kavaje is in 4th place with 17 points while Lushnja is in 3rd place with 22 points. Lushnja is more near to first place than Besa. Lushnja until now is 4 points behind the Pogradeci team and I see this match a strong and a difficult match for both teams. With a win here Besa can join the fight for promotion and with a lose maybe they will be far away. Lushnja is a good team this season and they have won the first match against Besa 3-2 with Besa that have won in first half 1-2 and than Lushnja won 3-2. I see this match a draw. Both teams don't want to lose this match.

It's a fantastic club, who wouldn't want to be the Everton manager? My main focus is tomorrow, that's all my remit is. Ferguson's goals and robust style made him a fan favourite at the club he first joined in 1994 and returned to in 2000 following a short spell at Newcastle United.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side must stop this rut that they are on and this game should be an interesting one between two sides with contrasting styles.

They have a lot of energy and run a lot. We had some situations we could have managed better. There is a lot of quality in Leipzig and they showed it today.

We're not really happy with the result, but we did it last season - let's hope we try to create another story.

The hilarious Fiorentina team, even too much. And that is precisely why it can be called the most dangerous. Firstly, they always have a special attitude towards Milan, and secondly, all this instability constantly leads to devastating defeats and victories, as, for example, in the case of Sampdoria. As for the red-blacks, they are on the go, but they are very tired, it is noticeable literally in each of their movements and was especially striking with the “Torino”. But there is nowhere to retreat, the only option left is to defeat a principled opponent. Although the "violets" and do not claim anything this year, but nerves can pat. This is far from value. This is a risk.
