I don't think anybody expects us to be anywhere near the top," said Rodgers.

Wenger, who was manager of Premier League club Arsenal for 22 years, wants a player to be deemed onside if any part of their body which can legitimately score a goal is level or behind the last defender.

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he is happy for his side to be left out of the Premier League title conversation after an eighth win on the bounce kept the Foxes second in the table. Leicester thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park on Sunday to move back within eight points of league leaders Liverpool, who beat Bournemouth a day earlier. Rodgers, whose side are six points clear of last season's champions Manchester City, is happy for Leicester to keep going about their business under the radar.
The hosts had 18 corners and visiting goalkeeper Ofir Marciano made a series of good stops to thwart Alfredo Morelos, while Hagi and Joe Aribo came close and Edmundson was denied a second by a goal-line clearance.

Since I arrived, the team showed fantastic spirit," he added. I thought it was an unselfish team, they worked hard for each other on the pitch. Sometimes we didn't play well, but we never lost our fighting spirit, so this reason I was surprised and I told the players it is not acceptable. I understand that a big part of the DNA of the club is everyone wants to see the players fighting. The players have been here for more time than me so they know what the fans expect from them.

Early on I didn't think we played particularly well but when you get two goals like we did that is pleasing. On Ighalo, he added: "When you get strikers in you want them to be happy and confident. He has come in here and of course we still have a few injuries and it is great for us to have Odion to call upon.
Werder Bremen are playing a woeful season, in the Bundesliga things are not in shape at all, after 20 matches in the Bundesliga they have managed to get 17 points which is totally below par compared to Bremen we used to know, they have one of the worst defense in the league and will suffer it again against one of the best attacking team in the Bundesliga with new wonder kid Haaland on board of Borussia Dortmund.
Liefering and Kapfenberg will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Liefering this season have the following results: 10W, 7D and 7L.

On his favourite thing about living in England. The people. They are so fun and always in a good mood. It's not easy to find a vibe like the one in Manchester. You have a beer with someone you don't know in the pub next to you. It [moving to England] was easier than I thought it would be. Apart from the weather, everything was easy here in Manchester. The way people in Manchester welcomed me was amazing.
The hosts have only lost twice at home this season and Heracles have only won two times on the road, but the visitors have secured four draws on their travels so you can see why we have backed Sunday’s clash to end all square. Emmen average 1.89 points per home game and have only lost 22% of games in their own backyard, while Heracles average 1.11 points per away game which is above the league average of 1.08 and have drawn 44% of those matches.
Olympiakos haven't enjoyed their Champions League campaign so far this season with just a single point for the Greek side, following their 2-2 draw with Spurs in the reverse fixture to this game. Since then they've lost twice to Bayern Munich and once to Crvena zvezda, conceding eight goals in the process. Things haven't gone well for Olympiakos and it's hard to see them getting anything from this game.
Smolevichy Sti is going to play against Dinamo Minsk. The hosts saved one point in the previous match against Belshina where they were losing 0:1 until 90th minutes of play. Then they scored a goal after penalty. The hosts are average and I don't think that they will win or draw against Dinamo Minsk. The visitors failed to win the previous away match against Vitebsk and they lost 0:1 but I hope that it was a mistake. They won against Zhodino at home 2:0 and now they will try to pick another three points. My bet here is Dinamo to win
Stuttgart set to meet the worst team of this season so far in this league. Though Dresden is capable of surprising any team. Also have two game winning momentum. But Stuttgart is awesome. It's a hurdle of top spot and they will sure take every game seriously. So we expect a huge scoring match where both teams will score. Possible we have to see at least a goal from home team. There avg. Of one goal a match really value this fact. On other Hand we are set to watch Stuttgart's attacking and aggressive style of football. Therefore we select over 3.5 goals in this event. Good luck.
Last time when the two teams played it was in real 0-9 for the Leicester and surely soton players Will be very very motivated to get their revenge and take some points from Leicester on the road today, of course that is not going to be easy at all for something like that they need to score at least two goals cause Leicester at home is very strong and it is hard to believe that so ton defense could avoid to conceding at least 2 goals today!Either way I expect offensive game from both sides and surely I expect a lot of goals

It's better to speak about things that make me laugh. While Son Heung-min has performed admirably as a striker in Kane's previous injury lay-offs, Mourinho said he will effectively be without a recognised forward against Liverpool. We don't have another one. There is not a striker in the squad. We have only one, he is not fit, we don't have another one," Mourinho said.
Sturm Graz and Rapid Vienna will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Sturm Graz this season have the following results: 10W, 5D and 14L.

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. The Scot said he hoped to inspire the current team to play with pride despite their position in the table.
Vitesse have only lost one of their last six matches against Twente and over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the pairs’ last six encounters. Over 2.5 goals have also been scored in four of Twente’s and three of Vitesse’s last five matches, so you can see why we are expecting at least three goals to be scored this weekend.
Traore not only got Wolves back into a match that was quickly drifting away from them but set up the equaliser having caught Benjamin Mendy sleeping on the job. What then took place was quite unbelievable. How did City, having been two goals up with a man sent off and after scoring from the rebound of a retaken penalty, manage to lose the game? And why? All because Pep Guardiola brought off a furious Kevin de Bruyne, the one man who could have saved them the match.
There is more than meets the eye as odds of near 1.30 suggest on the home win here and I say this because Energetik-BGU 2 has not really beaten anyone in 4 games at this reserve level in the league this season, at home they lost hard 2-1 to a very strong FC Minsk 2 side who is bossing the league alongside Dinamo Minsk 2, but that was a hard opponent and watching the game it even seemed Energetik-BGU 2 had what it takes on a good day to even win that encounter, being very attacking minded but lacking the important finishing touch.
