Here's what else to look out for in the next few days. Bottom two go head to head We start at the very bottom of the second tier with a game which could serve as the definition of a relegation six-pointer. Luton Town prop up the Championship table and are five points from safety. Tuesday's visitors Barnsley (18:00 BST) are one place above them and just a point better off. Both clubs suffered a major setback to their respective survival bids on Saturday, with Luton thumped 5-0 at home by Reading and the Tykes being brushed aside 4-0 by fellow strugglers Stoke.
Sheffield United picked up their first win since the Premier League restarted as they produced a hugely impressive display against Tottenham to keep alive their hopes of playing European football next season. Blades' record signing Sander Berge opened his account for the club with a neat finish in the first half, completing a fine, attacking move by the hosts. Harry Kane thought he had equalised moments later but his strike was controversially ruled out by VAR because of a handball by Lucas Moura in the build-up.
The Italian giants want to make the Liverpool star the world’s most expensive defender for the second time. The Netherlands international joined for £76m, making him the world's most expensive defender at the time. The record was beaten last summer when Manchester United signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City for £80m.
Victory have scored 17 goals this season, an average of 1.30 goals per game but conceded at a slightly worse rate of 1.38. Their lack of output in the attack combined with their defensive frailties has led to them struggling this season, performing well below expectations and they’ll need to improve to make the finals series without a real fight.
We can't physically be on a football pitch right now, so it will be quite fun to represent my team and play against Sebastiano (Esposito) on PES," 20-year-old Leao said. This is a derby after all and I want to win, but most importantly this is a way to be a little closer to our fans in these difficult times.

Serie A title, Paris St-Germain (99. France's Ligue 1 all but wrapped up, while Barcelona (74. Real Madrid to La Liga's crown.

Gareth is a legend, I really like Gareth and I think he's doing a great job with the England team," he says.

Going into the final game of the season, he was two goals behind Gunnar Nordahl's mark of 35 in 37 for AC Milan, which had stood since 1949-50. The Argentine striker, who ended last season on loan with Chelsea, then hit a 19-minute hat-trick in the second half of Napoli's 4-0 win over already-relegated Frosinone. Immobile had finished the season with five goals on loan at Torino, for whom he scored 22 goals in 2013-14.

There was late controversy as Gabriel Paulista was sent off for the visitors for lashing out at Dusan Tadic, who appeared to make a meal of the situation. Elsewhere, Borussa Dortmund got through another 'Group of Death' thanks to a 2-1 home win over Slavia Prague, ensuring they join Barcelona in the last 16 at the expense of Inter Milan.
While their form may not match the very top in the division, one area they remain very consistent is in their ability to find the back of the net and have scored in each of their last 13 league matches. Given that just 39% of their conceded goals have come at home, they should be confident of the three points on Saturday afternoon.
That late goal has given Porto hopes of reaching the last sixteen of the Europa League. Home form has been good in the Europa League this season, though they are yet to keep a clean sheet. Bayer Leverkusen are in top form at present and will hope to get on the scoresheet to boost their hopes of making it to the next round. Their away form is good and the bet here is on both teams to score.

I want to be here. The coach knows. He wants me to stay. How did you rate Luiz?Luiz off as City beat ArsenalLuiz only joined Arsenal last summer - moving from Chelsea on deadline day for £8m - but he was left on the bench against City amid confusion surrounding his contract status. He came on in the 24th minute after Pablo Mari was injured, and was at fault for Raheem Sterling's opener. He then hauled down Riyad Mahrez to give away a penalty and was sent off.
Alonso also got on the scoresheet and the key for Chelsea here was that they actually scored while dominating the game and possession, a knack that has eluded them on so many occasions this season. Lampard celebrated jubilantly at the final whistle, completing a double over Spurs and Mourinho this season - and he can now plot the future with Chelsea remaining in control of their own destiny in pursuit of a place in next season's Champions League.

Newcastle’s long-running wait for silverware continues, with the Tynesiders desperate for some kind of shining light in the gloomy Mike Ashley years. Their cup struggles were highlighted in their 1-1 draw at League One Rochdale in the Third Round, with Steve Bruce and his men now hosting the third-tier side at St James’ Park this week.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mauricio PochettinoGetty Images Bayern Munich have let Hans-Dieter Flick take the reins until after Christmas, giving them plenty of time to ponder their next move. A push to bring Pochettino to Germany would not be entirely surprising, although there may be some hesitation about hiring the manager who watched his Spurs side lose 7-2 to Bayern earlier this season.
Leeds United have won the title and will be playing in the Premier League next season. Their manager doesn't look the kind of guy who will let his players take their feet off the pedal. That was shown when they went to Derby County on Sunday and won 3-1. Their home form is excellent and they have been very difficult to score against of late. Charlton are in relegation trouble and only a win will guarantee them safety. Anything less will have them depending on results elsewhere going their way. Go for a home win with Leeds ahead at both half and full time.

Sampdoria have failed to score in half of their home games, while they've lost seven of 12 matches overall this term.

Son Heung-min struck in stoppage time to give Tottenham a dramatic 3-2 victory over Aston Villa in their Premier League clash at Villa Park. Though Spurs have not been at their best recently, they’ve nonetheless been able to pick up points and will no doubt have felt confident going into today’s clash against league strugglers, Villa.

The area where the visitors need to improve is their defence. They head into this clash without a clean sheet in five, while they’ve seen both teams score in 82% of their away trips this term. We see them maintaining that record here, with the hosts seeing their last three home clashes finish with both teams scoring. BTTS has landed in seven of Wednesday’s last eight, so it’s our pick on this one.
Barbosa, who scored both the goals that helped Flamengo beat River Plate 2-1 and win the Copa Libertadores in November, signed a reported five-year deal for around 17 million euros ($18. If it's for the good of the (Flamengo) nation, I'll stay," the 23-year-old Barbosa said on Instagram. The former Santos player was the top goalscorer in both the Libertadores and Brazil's first division last year and a key player in Flamengo's most successful season since Brazilian great Zico played for the club in the early 1980s.
So they are hard to beat, and now they have Cenk Tosun up front, on loan from Everton, they offer more of a goal threat too. Media playback is not supported on this device Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson praises Cenk Tosun after debut goal against Man City. Southampton's run of good results was ended when Wolves fought back to beat them at the weekend, and this is another tough game for them. I can see Saints being beaten again, but I don't see them being dragged back into the relegation battle.
ac Milan is surely favorite for the win in this match but it is not going to be easy at all for them to beat genoa, genoa is in great form and from last 5 matches they losted only last game versus Lazio and that was with 2-3, still they are in dangerous zone and they will surely be very motivated to defend today and on the other side Milan bad offense is going to have huge problems of scoring, I think Milan can't score more than one goal and on the other side I expect from Milan to save their net, so surely under 2.5!
Turkey team is at the leader place in their league, and they are hunting the first title in the competition in their history. however, with one goal scored in Portugal, and three conceded, they still have chance to try getting 2:0 here, and to make their way at the next level of the Europe league. Sporting went into the top form recently, but they even do not have to play draw here or to win, in order to get in the following round. Team should defend and probably seek for result that would fit them, even if make minimal loss here.
Premier League referees chief Mike Riley says there were four instances of the "worst possible outcome" of the video assistant referee system in two weeks before the international break. Riley told a meeting of the 20 top-flight clubs that on those occasions VAR had overruled perfectly good decisions by the on-field officials. We are far from perfect and we have to improve the way we do things," he said.

The 33-year-old's well-taken goal early on set the tone for the match and the 33-year-old was not afraid to do the defensive work against a physical Tottenham team. His highly professional performance begs the question; Why has he not been playing more often? PLAYER RATINGS Chelsea: Caballero (7), James (6), Azpilicueta (7), Rudiger (6), Christensen (6), Alonso (7), Jorginho (6), Kovacic (6), Barkley (7), Mount (7), Giroud (8).
And, for more than 30 minutes, the home side once again looked destined to draw a blank. Tottenham's build-up play was ponderous and on the few occasions they did manage to find gaps in the Norwich defence the chances were wasted, as Erik Lamela fired straight at Tim Krul and Son Heung-min drove into the sidenetting. But, seven minutes before half-time, Alli provided the one moment of quality to break the deadlock.
They made the worst possible start, however, as Bournemouth capitalised on the Reds' early nerves to take a shock lead - albeit in controversial fashion. Wilson finished off a neat move involving Lerma and Philip Billing, but Liverpool felt the goal should have been disallowed for the striker's push on Gomez. The video assistant referee saw no infringement and the goal was given. Things could have got worse for the home side when Nathan Ake's powerful header was unconvincingly shovelled on to the top of the crossbar by stand-in goalkeeper Adrian, but Liverpool continued to create chances and deservedly restored parity through Salah's low finish - his 70th league goal for the club.
Along side our over 2.5 goals and both teams to score prediction, we're forecasting a 2-2 draw in our correct score tip. Valencia have shown potency in front of goal at home, hitting two or more goals in four of their last six games on their own patch, while Chelsea have scored at least twice in six of their last eight away from Stamford Bridge.
Man of the match - Jamie McCartBBC Scotland's Brian McLauchlin at McDiarmid ParkIn what was a fascinating match to watch, there are candidates from both sides. For the visitors, Kamberi showed he has a real talent for finding the net and may find himself in the XI in Braga in midweek. St Johnstone, to a man, were immense, with both goalscorers May and Hendry putting in terrific displays.
SUNDAY Sheff Utd v Man Utd (16:30 GMT)I am covering this game for BBC Radio 5 Live. Sheffield United have been brilliant so far this season but Manchester United are starting to look like a better team, just because Anthony Martial is fit again. I know Martial can be very up and down as an individual, but just having him on the pitch seems to make a difference and United's other attacking players - Marcus Rashford and Daniel James - are also looking very sharp.
You look at who they've got to play, they've got Southampton, Newcastle, Burnley, Norwich, Watford and Villa in the run-in. That'll be 18 points where they think they can go and win. If they take at least 10 from those they'll be on 34 points and I think that will be OK given the way the league is going.
