The Foxes remain eight points behind leaders Liverpool, but are now three clear of third-placed Chelsea and four points above Manchester City before those teams meet later on Saturday. Vardy has been key to the Foxes' form and he once again was the shining light on a dark, rainy day on the south coast. The striker set up Ayoze Perez for the 64th-minute opener after swift counter-attack and then added the second from the spot, after his initial spot-kick, saved and headed in by James Maddison, had to be retaken for encroachment.

He still has much to prove and Chelsea boss Frank Lampard will expect better as he tries to cement a season of improvement with a place in the top four and another season in the Champions League. This was a real disappointment for Chelsea, especially as the force appeared to be with them after William's second goal and they looked the most likely winners. But they were caught out by a lightning break that ended in Yarmolenko's goal and the chance to close even further on fading Leicester City and maintain the gap between themselves and in-form Manchester United was lost.
This is a time to sit back and acknowledge achievement and progress and hope. Lazio, Rennes and Cluj; Porto, Feyenoord and Young Boys. Twelve games played against challenging European opposition and only two lost, one a dead rubber when a second-string Celtic lost to the Romanians on Thursday and one a Rangers defeat in Bern that only happened in the 93rd minute. Celtic had their work done early. Lennon was in the most surreal position of being able to rest many of his senior guys for the trip to Cluj and go instead with a supporting cast - a mixture of players trying to rebuild their first-team prospects and youngsters taking their first steps on this stage.

Derogations are rare and must be well argued. Sport is not one of the exceptions. Only food businesses, banks and insurance companies, newsstands, tobacconists and health personnel are still authorized to circulate. All employees who do not have an essential role in everyday Italian life today are firmly invited to stay at home.
If being in more immediate danger is not incentive enough for Antalyaspor to win this game, perhaps they will be motivated by revenge. They suffered their biggest defeat of the campaign in the reverse fixture when Genclerbirligi showed up to their patch and won 6-0. That's the definition of being a bad guest.
The club added that Daniel Maldini, 18, had been training with the AC Milan first team and that he and his father, 51, had spent two weeks in self-isolation at home and would remain in quarantine "until clinically recovered". Dybala is the third Juve player to be confirmed to have the virus, following centre-back Daniele Rugani and France World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi. Dybala's girlfriend Oriana Sabatini - an Argentine singer, actress and model - is the niece of former tennis player Gabriela Sabatini, the 1990 US Open champion.
WHO IS INTERESTED? Now that he is free Atletico will jump straight back in, but his wages are likely to become more of an issue with a transfer fee not involved. Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United have all shown an interest, but Cavani's preference is for a return to Italy. ESTIMATED COST: Free as of June 30.
The only way to try and get a good atmosphere is to try and achieve that. If that's me or someone else as a coach, I don't think that matters. The fans were amazing against Norwich, we were on top and I felt they got more and more energy from that. I need to develop the game plan, how we want to play football.
No transfers can take place between Premier League clubs in this period. The EFL also said any new signings by its clubs could not play until the start of the 2020-21 season. This is applicable to clubs involved in the Championship play-offs," it explained in a statement. The EFL added: "The window for international registrations closes at 23:00 BST on Monday, 5 October, with an agreement in place with the Premier League for an extended two-week domestic-only window, which will close at 17:00 on Friday, 16 October.
Olympiakos have lost both of their away games in this group. This time last week Jose Mourinho probably thought he would be commentating or giving comments on the Champions League. Instead, he is managing Tottenham who are second in their group and six points clear of bottom of the table Olympiakos. Spurs got life under Jose off to a good start with a 3-2 win at West Ham United.
Once resources for the country and the NHS and essential services are secure, “When that moment has passed, the government would like us to get back to playing and they would like us to get back to playing because we are in entertainment and we would be a sign that the country is coming back to normal,” Semmens added.
Former Aston Villa and Chelsea midfielder Andy Townsend agreed with Sutton and said: "I don't think it's the right time for Freddie to take over, not the right time for someone who is inexperienced at this level. Arsenal need someone to come in and teach them about defending. Calum Chambers has been around long enough to see if there's been an improvement but there hasn't been. I don't think he's good enough to be an Arsenal regular.
Man Utd will stick with De Gea - SolskjaerChelsea beat Manchester United to reach FA Cup finalHow you rated players in FA Cup semi-finalThere is a large body of evidence to suggest De Gea is no longer the best keeper in Manchester never mind the world - he is certainly not the best in the Premier League. The Brazilian pair of Ederson at Manchester City and Liverpool's Alisson are far more accomplished - and more significantly Dean Henderson, on loan at Sheffield United from Manchester United, has had a better season than De Gea.
Foden, who got his first league goal of the season against Arsenal last week, scored twice against the Clarets as part of an impressive individual display, with Silva also on target. City thrash Burnley to make Liverpool waitBurnley 'strongly condemns' banner flown above Etihad Stadium during Man City gameRelive Man City v Burnley"It is difficult to find a replacement like David, what he has done with this club," Guardiola said afterwards.
I am surprised that, so far, no-one else has tried to replicate what Manchester United did when they held Liverpool at Old Trafford in October. It is something Leicester are capable of with the players they have. Manchester United drew 1-1 with Liverpool on 20 OctoberUnited went with three centre-backs that day, to go man-for-man with the three Liverpool forwards. They also sent their wing-backs forward to push back Liverpool's full-backs, and used a pair of fast split strikers who played high and wide.
Al Mojzel will host Al Taee for this fixture of the league. Both teams have a poor results in the last matches. However, the visitors have better team than their opponent. In any case, the visitors have a real chance to make a positive result. I expect, Al Taee will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, we have Al Mojzel who's is one of the worst teams in this campaign. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task in this game. They have a very vulnerable defense. So, I think, Al Taee will closer to victory.
Former World Cup winner Klinsmann had replaced Ante Covic as head coach in late November with Hertha struggling in the relegation zone. But despite pledges to turn things around and make the team a powerhouse in Germany in the next few seasons, Hertha have managed only one win in their last five league games and are in 14th, six points above the relegation play-off spot.
Wigan midfielder Jensen Weir is expected to complete a £500,000 move to Brighton, which will ensure the Latics are able to pay their players' wages until the end of the season. Wigan's administrators said earlier this week that the club would have to sell players as they look to cover costs, as they have no regular income. Weir became the Latics' youngest ever player in November 2017. He featured for Wigan in an EFL Trophy match aged 15 years and 280 days.
The striker scored five in three as Sunderland drew 2-2 at City before beating Chelsea and Cardiff. Seb Larsson's acrobatic volley secured victory at Old Trafford and a 2-0 win over West Brom saw Sunderland stay up with a game to spare. Leicester 2014-15 Leicester became just the third Premier League side to be bottom at Christmas and avoid relegation - after West Brom (2004-05) and Sunderland (2013-14).
That dreadful record should make for some interesting reading for Burnley, though the Clarets will need to drag their performance levels up a few notches to take advantage of their visitor's travel sickness this week.
Confidence has undoubtedly been shaken by the French government's decision to put elite sport on hold until September, along with the warnings of medical experts and player representatives about the health risks of rushing back into action. Some clubs are worried the sporting integrity of the competition could be compromised if only certain venues are used and they play fewer games at their home ground than their rivals.
Sivasspor is in a very important stage of the season and just one defeat will make them pay with a championship or tickets to the European arena next season. If before the 26th round, Sivasspor temporarily ranked in 4th place with 49 points and they are only 2 points behind the top teams (the group participating in the Champions League season 2020/21) is only 3 points. Looking at the current situation, coach R. Çalımbay's team desperately needed a victory in the late game of the 26th round, so they put pressure on the opponents in the championship race of the Turkish league.

No longer exclusive to Prozone, Jacobson says the company is in regular contact with "dozens" of clubs who facilitate the data in different ways. We said years ago that we need to stop thinking of ourselves as a games company and think of ourselves as a football company," he explains. The game's scouts come into their own when providing data on players at under-18 or under-23 level and "working out how good those players are going to become in the future".
That triggered a Wales fan to create the flag which Bale and his team-mates were pictured alongside as they celebrated sealing their place at Euro 2020. Bale played in the crucial wins over Azerbaijan and Hungary despite not featuring for his club since the October international break because of injury, prompting further questions over his commitment to Real's cause. Bale said the timing of his return to action was a coincidence - but admitted prior to the Azerbaijan game he felt "more excitement" playing for Wales than he does when on club duty.

This season we wanted to progress and get closer to the promotion picture and we've managed to do that," he told BBC Radio Lancashire. It was always in my remit when I sat down and spoke to [owner] Andy Pilley in the first place. It was about putting Fleetwood in the Championship. However, as Barton's side prepare to take on Wycombe, he is ready to be patient if things do not go their way. If we don't get it done this year, because mad things happen in the play-offs, then we'll certainly be pushing on next year to have a go again," Barton added.
That wasn't obviously evident during their match in Germany, the game played at a frenetic pace. They took the lead through a Kiese Thelin penalty early in the second half. They were in front for two minutes before Josip Brekalo equalised for Wolfsburg. Then, a deflected effort meant that Thelin was credited with a second goal - this one being put past his own keeper.
It (injury list) has been added to with Sakho pulling his hamstring against Norwich so he's going to be missing for a considerable period of time," Hodgson told a news conference. Cahill has done his first training session today which is positive, so maybe it's one in, one out in terms of training. Hodgson said forward Wilfried Zaha would miss out due to a knock that he sustained against Norwich.
Actually, Watford have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. On the flip side though, they have failed to score in just one of their last five matches. They go to this game on one loss only in the last seven home matches but none of the opponents they have faced in that duration can match Liverpool.
Istanbul Bau015faku015fehir's 0-4 defeat to Roma on MD1 was their first-ever meeting with Italian opposition. However, it wasn’t Roma’s first clash against a side from the Super Lig. The Giallorossi are winless in their last four away games against Turkish sides in European competition (D2 L2). Will this be a similar struggle for the visitors, or will they claim the three points they need to boost their hopes of getting out of the group?

Boss Argel Fucks has probably squeezed about as much life out of an extremely limited squad since coming in and whilst he's helped the team pick up some positive results, recent performances have ensured an unlikely escape looks well off the cards. Indeed, CSA have now lost 4 straight games and the fact they've conceded an average of 2.25 goals a game over said fixtures has to be a big concern coming into this match.
