Brilliant, bold and, well, very Lionel Messi. Sancho has earned rave reviews since making the decision to leave Manchester in search of regular first-team football in Germany in August 2017. But it is the similarities in his game to the Argentine forward - the low centre of gravity, ability to carry the ball effectively and unerringly accurate finishing - that is getting Dortmund and England fans most excited.

Of Premier League clubs, Manchester City face the maximum number of fixtures; 19.
there is no real favorite here. Dynamo Brest certainly has the better quality in the ranks, but Neman Grodno is currently floating on cloud 7. The last five games have all been won, so the chest will also be very wide here.
Sangju Sangmu will host Gwangju for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. Also, I think, both teams will have a very difficult task in this season. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Gwangju who's is poor team at the start of the new campaign. They have two consecutive losses. In any case, the visitors have the motivation to break the poor series. I think, Gwangju will try to get a positive result on the opposite stadium. My pick - draw.
Hull have won three of their last four matches in the Championship (L1), last winning three in a row at the start of November. They could easily repeat that achievement here, while they’ve won three straight games in all competitions following their success at Rotherham at the weekend.

Watford under-23 coach Hayden Mullins will take charge of Wednesday's Premier League game at Leicester following the sacking of Quique Sanchez Flores. Sanchez Flores returned for a second spell at the club when he replaced Javi Gracia in September but was dismissed after Saturday's defeat by Southampton. Watford are bottom of the Premier League table, six points from safety. Chris Hughton is a possible successor and the Hornets said a replacement will be appointed "imminently".
No-one outside of Leeds gave us a chance against United but the weird thing was we had absolutely no fear going into that game, even though we had not even got past non-league Kettering in round two when the draw was made. We came within 12 minutes of what would have been a humiliating defeat before I scored a late equaliser in the first game, and even needed extra time to get past them at Elland Road in the replay.
From the Scottish FA's perspective alone, this has already resulted in the postponement of a sell-out match against Israel in the Uefa Nations League Play-Off and the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-finals and final at Hampden Park. As the governing body, we have a responsibility to protect the national game and it is also our duty as a board to safeguard the future of our staff during what medical experts predict will be an enduring period of uncertainty and national lockdown.
Whilst Boca Juniors would much rather be contesting the Copa Libertadores final this weekend, as rivals River Plate are, they can only focus on the task at hand, which is this league match. Indeed, having lost their domestic crown to Racing Club last season, running out kings of Argentina is a real objective for El Xeneize this term and winning games like Sunday's is going to be key if they are to do so.
Home is certainly where the heart is for Killie, who've lost just one out of eight at Rugby Park, winning four of the other seven. Kilmarnock's pleasing home form has been built largely on defensive solidity. Only two teams have shipped less home goals than Angelo Alessio's men, who've conceded just five in at eight. Only Celtic have kept more SPL home clean sheets than Kilmarnock, who've shut their opponents out five times on their own patch.
At 11 he was out on the training pitch as normal, players gathered in a circle around him, which was one way to say: “Goodbye … probably. By the time he drove out again he knew it was likely to be for the last time. But not because they had actually told him. Sid Lowe breaks down what a mess Barcelona made of binning Ernesto Valverde.
Speaking before the weekend's game, he said the rest of the top four places are yet to be decided. He said: "I think probably Liverpool I would agree with you but the rest is up for grabs. Huge respect to Leicester for what they’ve done so far but there’s a long way to go for all of us. I don’t think we were very fancied (to make the top four) at the start of the season and it’s important that we carry on trying to prove people wrong with our performances.
He's a keeper that's striving to be better, as he should do at his age and the status he has -- Chelsea's number one, big price tag, Spain's number one and competing with another great goalkeeper (David De Gea). He'll want to get better all the time, and there have been a few incidents this season where he'll be the first to say he can do better.
The guests are bottom of the league table club with only 10 points won by them so far this season and in quite poor form at this moment as they even lost this season with no less than 7-2 away at LASK Linz not so long ago, also lost last round with 4-0 at home to AC Wolfsberger and got beaten by St. Polten with 1-0 at home and lost here with same St. Polten with 2-1 in the cup but St. Polten had the lead 2-0 and Mattersburg scored only a late consolation goal.
For different reasons you have better seasons than others, better matches than others. If you ask me if I know the reasons - I'm not an idiot, I have been in football for many years. I know clearly that a player in this situation is not a player that - even if he wants, I am not blaming or criticising the player - it is normal that he doesn't perform at the highest level.
Five Serie A matches will be played behind closed doors this weekend - including Juventus' match at home to Inter Milan - because of coronavirus. Matches at Udinese, AC Milan, Parma and Sassuolo will take place without fans.

It was reward for a side hampered by the contract situation and who were also without three injured forwards. However, they were marginally the more positive of the two, with Dwight McNeil showing flashes of inspiration in the final third. Palace had Wilfried Zaha fit after he limped out of their previous game, at Liverpool five days ago, but his was a subdued display, like the rest of his fellow home forwards.
Video - Toure: Ozil 'wrong to speak out' over Uighur issue in China00:44 15:18 - 'We don't fly 3,000 miles not to show up' Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists his side are completely focused on winning the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time, but wants the tournament to be rescheduled in future.
In a weekend with four live Championship games, it’s odd that this clash has been left off the schedule. The meeting between West Brom and Brentford is set to be huge, especially with the visitors now into the top four in the Championship.
Reuters was unable to verify if such payments were made. City's response to media reports at the time gave an early indication of the approach they may take at CAS in Lausanne. We will not be providing any comment on out of context materials purported to have been hacked or stolen from City Football Group and Manchester City personnel and associated people.
CSKA 1948 is one of the leaders in the second level of the competition at the moment, and they should place in the top flight. They already kicked out one of the First league rivals from the Cup, and considering that Lokomotiva have lost their recent league duel, it is a big chance for the underdog to make another good performance.
Karlberg has won both friendlies so far in 2020 scoring 2 goals in each game. They were also very productive in the second division last season with a total of 58 goals in 26 games. However, they also conceded 13 goals in the last 7 games at home.
Not only have Blackpool lost each of their last two, scoring no goals in the process, but they're without a win in five on the road. They've lost none of those five and are clearly not easy to beat, but such form isn't likely to strike fear into the hearts of the hosts.
The Hornets sacked Nigel Pearson on Sunday and are one place and three points above the relegation zone before hosting Manchester City on Tuesday. The gaffer didn't put his hands on anybody, he was just frustrated and had a firm talking to us," Deeney said. No-one was fighting, no-one was punched. There were no hands thrown. Deeney, 32, who joined Watford from Walsall in 2010, admitted he was not expecting the decision to sack Pearson - Watford's third permanent manager of the campaign after Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores.
With this final game to go, Lyon are third on seven points, behind Zenit St Petersburg, also on seven and group leaders Leipzig on ten. Lyon won 2-0 in Germany so a win in this game will take them into the knock-out stages. They have four points from their two home group matches drawing with Zenit and beating Benfica 3-1.
I was about 10 or 11. That was a really intense period, especially in the nationalist, republican community where I grew up. I saw some stuff. The plastic bullets. I used to see them lying on the street, six inch cylinders, heavy and hard things, but my parents kept me away from it. There's a story about the younger Lennon that tells you something about the steel in him. He was playing for Crewe when he broke his back, 16 metal staples being inserted to hold things together.
Orsomarso are going with the record of 5 straight draw in the league, after 5 matches they have accumulated 5 points, scoring 5 goals against 5, no one can guess what they are up to at the moment as they haven't lost or win any game, but I think that the draw will continue with this game because the last 3 times both teams have met here, all the 3 games ended in 0 goal.
At the other end of the table, Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will look to protect their one-point advantage with a win at strugglers Cologne. The Bavarians, on 43 points, are eager to bounce back from last week's goalless draw against RB Leipzig, who are second and host relegation-threatened Werder Bremen.
He coached a host of Spanish sides including Zaragoza, Real Madrid and Barcelona but is best remembered at Atletico, where he spent five years and led a team containing current coach Diego Simeone to win a La Liga and Copa del Rey double in 1996.

Slavia Mozyr have finished in the 8th place with 37 points while Zhodino took the 6th place with 45 points in 30 matches played. Both teams had similar results in scoring and defense also. Both head-to-head matches between these teams were close and the latest game ended with the score 1-1.
THURSDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Video - Man Utd dealt blow as Haaland flies to Germany for talks - Euro Papers01:49 11:05 - 'We are delighted with Jesus' It wouldn't be December without a little praise for the Chosen One. Here's Pep Guardiola on the true meaning of Christmas (or striker Gabriel Jesus, you decide).
Tottenham have not had the best of runs away from home this season but head to this game in fine form and primed for a strong finish, looking at Crystal Palace’s recent form. Palace have been really poor in their recent matches and will be low in confidence heading here, which Spurs will definitely take advantage of. Harry Kane is in top form and will most likely torment a leaky home defence, which has let in at least two goals in six of the last seven matches. Palace have also been poor in attack in their recent matches and we doubt they will trouble their visitors, who know this is a must win clash, for their Europa League hopes. Here we will pick a 2-0 win for Spurs on the correct score scale.
So far this term, they’ve averaged only 0.22 points per game on the road. The Tykes have lost seven of nine trips, while Barnsley are winless in their last 16 Championship away games (D3 L13) since a 2-0 win at Birmingham in February 2018. That poor record is set to take them down, while it points to another loss incoming this weekend.
Turning Everton into Champions League contenders will not be "mission impossible", according to new manager Carlo Ancelotti. The 60-year-old former Chelsea, Real Madrid and AC Milan coach has signed a deal to lead the Toffees until 2024. He takes over an Everton side that is 15th in the Premier League, four points above the relegation zone. The Champions League is the long-term goal and objective," he said.
There wasn't much in that at all, but that is probably the correct call. He was a hair beyond the last man! Chalked off! 60’ Big chance for Benzema! That was the best opportunity the Real Madrid striker has had this evening! Isco played the cross into Benzema, but his shot was tame and Masip made the comfortable save.
Taichung Future take on NTUPES in the intercity league. This is a meeting between two teams with opposite history results with hosts having a good form of results having only lost one game in their last 5 home game and guests only winning 1 of their last 5 away games.
Media playback is not supported on this device Pep Guardiola says he cannot explain why his side failed to score I would also be shocked if they don't beat West Ham on Sunday. This Hammers team cannot defend at the moment, as we saw against Brighton last weekend, so City are going to get plenty of chances to find the net this time. West Ham know they are in a relegation dogfight now, but the problem is they knew that last Saturday too, and it did not seem to help them.
Much like the side directly above them in the table, Doncaster have clicked into gear of late. Darren Moore's men were five games without a win and were seemingly heading in the wrong direction, though they've since won four out of five. This has seen them move swiftly towards the coveted top six, which is not only where they finished last season but is where they want to be come May.
The Rio de Janeiro side are enjoying their best season in decades, having already wrapped up the league title and the Copa Libertadores, South America’s equivalent of the Champions League. However, they surprisingly went behind when Thiago Galhardo silenced the home fans at the Maracana stadium by putting the visitors ahead after 27 minutes.
FC Juniors will host Floridsdorfer AC for this fixture of the league. I believe, the hosts have better team than their opponent. FC Juniors have an effective attack. However, they have a vulnerable defense. Hosts have a better results in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. Nevertheless, I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Floridsdorfer have fallen into a very poor show. They have three consecutive losses. In any case, the visitors have the motivation to break the poor series because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. My pick - Floridsdorfer to win.
The Swans have also done well on the road this term, winning five, drawing five and losing just two of their 12 travelling matches. That said, they've started to slip of late, with their two losses coming in their last three. They've also started to concede a few too many, shipping 11 in their last five. Fortunately, they've scored in each of those five and have only failed to score twice away from home this term.
