TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Liverpool backtrack on using government money Sometimes, football clubs listen.

Doha denies the charge and says the embargo aims to impinge on its sovereignty.

Each side needs the points for a different reason. Chelsea, fourth in the table, have to stave off their Champions League rivals, especially with Manchester United, Wolves, and Sheffield United hot on their heels. Villa, 19th in the table, are two points from safety with a game in hand. Their destiny is in their hands but, after four losses on the trot, Villa fans won't be holding their breath.

Atleti's high number of draws on the road this season is a minor concern, but they appear to have rediscovered their touch for getting the job done over the last few weeks. Their miserly defence (12 conceded in 19 league games) should have no issues shutting out an Eibar attack that has failed to fire in five of their last seven La Liga matches, so we're predicting a 0-2 triumph for Simeone's side.
As discussed recently, this season has become more important than most would have expected, with Chelsea adjusting to life without Hazard and with a transfer ban better than expected. It’s imperative now they can hold off the teams below them and ssecure Champions League football next season. That will allow Lampard to attract a higher calibre of player when he gets his first summer window to try and make the signings he wants.
Leicester brought in Wolves defender Ryan Bennett on loan, their only January transfer. Sheffield United signed Dutch forward Richairo Zivkovic and Greece defender Panagiotis Retsos on loan. Norwich signed Coventry defender Sam McCallum for a reported £3m, while Wolves spent £1m on Rochdale defender Luke Matheson - with both players rejoining their old clubs on loan. Manchester United recruited Southend United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop for an undisclosed fee, with the 20-year-old going into their development squad.
It would be no surprise to see him named interim coach for the Champions League campaign, allowing a permanent replacement for Setien to be appointed during the brief 'summer' break. A turning point? Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann combined effectively to help Barcelona beat Villarreal on SundayJust when it seemed as if Setien was on the way out, however, his team unexpectedly produced a thrilling display, which might yet prove the springboard for greater success.

There’s not a great deal between the two sides, which could lead to a close game. With the pressure of relegation starting to creep in, openings may be hard to come by. However, don’t expect it to be a game settled by a set-piece effort. Sassuolo have scored the highest percentage of their goals from open play in Serie A so far this campaign (93% – 28/30); Sassuolo and Udinese are indeed the two sides to have netted the fewest goals from set-piece situations (two each). The visitors have also scored a huge chunk of their goals at home – with just 37% coming on the road.
Flora Tallinn are the record title holder in Estonia and also won the title last season. They again look very strong so far this season winning the super cup and starting the league with a 3-1 win over Legion. They also already played at Tammeka in the cup and won easily with 3-0.
The team were due to prepare for Thursday's semi-final against Atletico Madrid at local side Al-Ittihad Club's training ground, but the driver instead took them to the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium where Super Cup matches are taking place. The two venues are separated by over 30 kilometres and the team's bus finally arrived at the training ground 45 minutes behind schedule, delayed by the coastal city's notorious traffic levels.
There is a lot of factors and I remember when we discussed Salzburg and different clubs we figured out very early that Salzburg was the best option. And I’ve always thought ‘I can’t overrate myself’. That has always been important to me, saying ‘yes, I’m good, but there’s a lot of good players out there’ so that has always been very important to me, to not think that I’m better than I actually am.
But in truth, the Clarets were handed victory on a plate and will probably be disappointed not to have scored more in the second half. Rodriguez, Wood, Phil Bardsley and Matej Vydra all came close but Krul was sharp in goal for Norwich and the hosts showed at least the desire to put their bodies on the line to block every shot. The victory was Burnley's 15th in the Premier League this season - a club record for the competition.

This is a derby CSKA pomir taking on lokomotive pomir. The home team is having a terrible start to the season but it is understandable because they have face two sides who were in the top 2 places last season and I feel they can finally play without any pressure on them in this one. The away side are unbeaten in two games won 1 and the other is draw they are good enough to score even win but I am going to go with the goals today most likely both will get on the scoreboard but home looks to put things right.
The usually introverted Messi caused a stir by criticising his former team mate Abidal on Tuesday, saying in a post on Instagram that the club's hierarchy, not the players, should take responsibility for sacking Ernesto Valverde last month.

The newly formatted four team tournament was considered an unwelcome break to the La Liga season by many, particularly due to the Spanish Football Federation's decision to take a jaunt to the Middle East, but celebrations following Sergio Ramos' decisive spot kick proved the high level of importance placed on the occasion by Los Blancos, who emerged victorious despite being without the likes of Eden Hazard, Gareth Bale.
