Aguero was forced off in the final 15 minutes against the Blues with a tendon injury, and City had initially feared a long lay-off. The problem is not as serious as first feared, however, though the Argentinean will still be absent when the champions face their great rivals on 7th December. A few games, I don't know exactly," said Guardiola.
We also expect Leipzig to face no trouble in front of goal in this game. Leipzig are currently the Bundesliga's top scorers. They have scored a total of 36 goals in 13 Bundesliga games this season. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last four Bundesliga games.
On their own patch, David Guion's men are incredibly tough to beat. Only one team has returned victorious from a trip to Stade Auguste-Delaune, where Reims have conceded just five goals in ten games, keeping six clean sheets in the process, avoiding defeat against the likes of Lille, Monaco and Montpellier, all of whom are in the top half.
I suggest taking the both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals option here at better odds around 1.90 both of them than taking the away win at just 1.57 here at this bookie as there are very good chances that Viitorul should concede here as in fact they failed to win any of their last 10 away games in the league, cup or Europa League, as they played with reserves at Sanatatea Cluj in the cup and lost 1-0, quite a surprise, they also lost 1-0 at Botosani on a snow filled pitch and drew 0-0 at Clinceni, as all the other 7 away games from those last 10 had both teams scoring in them.
Genoa, Italy's oldest professional club, were stuck at the bottom of the table when Nicola was appointed as their third coach of the season at the end of December but, after going unbeaten in their last four games and winning the last two, they are now close to climbing out of the relegation zone. On Sunday, they host a Lazio side who have emerged as unlikely Serie A title contenders after an unbeaten streak of 19 league games which have included 15 wins.
Arsenal's win moves them up into the top half of the table in 10th place - six points behind north London rivals Tottenham, who claimed a last-gasp winner over Aston Villa to go fifth. Arsenal show improvement in styleArsenal have suffered a wretched season in the top-flight, 16 points and six places worse off than at this stage under Unai Emery last season. A poor start this term led to the Spaniard's dismissal and although they had lost just once under replacement Arteta, they had drawn seven games since his appointment in December.
In the six games since Pearson arrived, when Watford were adrift at the bottom, he has taken 13 points, five more than predecessors Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores, both sacked this season, managed between them. In that period only Liverpool and Manchester City have picked up more points. Pearson has previous experience of survival battles, inspiring an incredible turnaround at Leicester City in 2014-15 when they were bottom at Christmas.
Last season, Crotone finished only 11th in the Serie B rankings with 43 points after 36 matches. However, entering the 2019/20 campaign, Crotone was soon evaluated to have many opportunities to compete for promotion tickets. The reason is because they had a very well prepared process, and they recruited many quality rookies. After 26 rounds this season they have earned the same score as last season. They ranked third on the chart, Crotone's next goal is towards the Top 2 (win direct promotion tickets). The distance between them and the second place team at this point was only 3 points
Meanwhile, English Premier League club West Ham United's New Zealand defender Winston Reid has joined MLS side Sporting Kansas City on loan.

You saw the momentum change with us in the second half because the wind was that powerful. I know you're going to ask me about some interesting moments, but I felt we had good control after that. I couldn't see [the Billing handball] from where I was. The players reacted, which isn't always a sign but it can be.

The only side in the league with a worse defensive record than Lecce this term are Genoa, with the hosts failing to keep a clean sheet this term. They’ve conceded in 93% of their league games, with eight of their last nine outings seeing both teams hit the back of the net. That record isn’t good enough for a side who want to stay up, but the hosts’ defence just doesn’t seem up to it at this level.

Ostrava defeated Pribram here with 2-0 last season and in their last two home games against them they also won big with 3-0 both times and even before that 2-0 win here when they last played at Pribram they won the game with 2-1. But this season Pribram is clinging with bare life to get away from direct relegation as they are bottom in the league with just 3 wins all season long and all of them at home, but even here they have lost more games than they managed to win and quite low scoring side they are.
However, despite what might have looked like a less threatening side, Wolves started well holding off the table-toppers, who took the lion’s share of possession and shots in the first half. Though you might have expected the visitors to sit back and defend, they pressed forwards as best they could without their main men, nonetheless Liverpool looked the superior side, literally running rings around their opponents.
Barcelona begin an important week with a trip to Real Sociedad. They have won their last seven games and that includes winning away at Serie A leaders Inter Milan on Tuesday. Their away form isn't always that great but four of the last five league matches have been won. Real Sociedad are in fourth but current form isn't that healthy. Go for an away win here.

Finally, we understand the point of the Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup - it's all a ruse to attract social media hits. It has to be.

Home for has been a real issue for Milan this term. They've won only two out of seven at San Siro, losing three of the other five. Seven goals for during that time is a poor return, especially when they've conceded a total of ten. They're also surrendered an average of one more shot on target than they're registering at home. Their numbers need to improve.
It takes the pressure off the Seagulls a bit at the bottom of the table now they have a five-point cushion above the bottom three, but I cannot see them upsetting Leicester. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Aitch's prediction: 3-0 Tottenham v West Ham (18:00 BST)You have to fancy Tottenham here. Their draw with Manchester United on Friday night was one of the few games over the weekend that had some of the usual intensity you see in the Premier League.
There's not much praise you can heap on this red machine that hasn't already been done so some time ago. This was far from routine, but this team always seem to find a way. Indeed, Liverpool's Sat Nav remains firmly centred upon on a direct route to a 19th league title in their history. A staggering 26th win in 27 Premier League matches this term is just one of the latest jaw-dropping stats they have racked up.

Mourinho said he wasn't going to worry about the decision's impact on his team's chances of making it into Europe's premier club competition.

Paper Round's view: It wouldn't be a surprise to see City lose a handful of their superstars if the two-year Champions League ban was upheld after the appeal process. Europe's elite clubs will be sniffing around the club for cheap deals on world-class players who will be desperate to leave in a bid to play Champions League football.
I expect here that the home team will justify the role of favorites and I believe that they will be able to win, I think that from the very beginning of the match the home team will dominate to play offensively, arrange chances to create chances and I believe that some of the actions will succeed to score and thus gain the advantage, I think the guests will then open up to try to score and I believe they will be able to score one goal by the end of the first part of the match and in the continuation of the match I think they will be goals and my guess is over 2.5 goals to be scored here.
Both sides have scored in 11 of Everton’s 16 away league matches. Tottenham have one clean sheet in the last 11 matches. Tottenham have no clean sheet in 12 of 16 home league matches.

Amiens have major issues to sort out in Ligue 1 before they think of a run in the Coupe de la Ligue. The hosts have failed to win in their last five in the league, picking up just one point during that run. They have lost heavily in the other four, shipping 14 goals in those defeats. That poor return has pushed Amiens towards the drop.
Simon Grayson's men were beaten by a determined and dogged Shrewsbury outfit last time out, but the Seasider's boss probably won't lose too much sleep over that performance, as they were by no means outplayed and will be confident of bouncing back. Besides, Blackpool have generally been strong at home this term, especially in the final third, notching 18 in 11 games at Bloomfield Road. At the other end, things haven't gone as well, as they've shipped a rather chunky 14. If the goals dry up at the right end, then the Seasiders could be a bit of a pickle.
This doesn't bode well for a Paderborn team who have been particularly struggling for goals away from home this season. No Bundesliga side have scored fewer away goals than Paderborn. Furthermore, Paderborn have failed to score in four of their last five competitive games.

Both rivals are going with the less efficient matches, and this clash could be one of those where teams will not make over three goals in the match. Isloch should be favorite in this one, as they play at home and generally have better young reserves and youth team. However, Belshina did show some good capability in the defense, and it will not easy concede in the game.
However, this performance served as a reminder of what Ansu offers and why Barcelona believe he is the natural heir to Messi, bagging a brace.

We have had a lot of injuries too but, ultimately, it is down to poor recruitment and not enough Premier League quality players being brought in. I still feel like we will beat Everton, though. We are in the last-chance saloon and the players will know it too, and throw absolutely everything at this game. Nathan on why he is a Villa fan: "My whole family are from Birmingham and, apart from one of my uncles who supports Leeds, they are all Villa fans, so it was how I was brought up.
