Liverpool are in a strong position to break three of those records, with a points haul of 107 still possible, a current lead of 23 points over City, and the chance to end up with 35 wins - although their haul of 70 goals so far means reaching City's tally is unlikely in their final seven games. So, two legendary squads, but who would get into your combined starting XI?Below, you can create a team by selecting players from Manchester City's 2017-18 squad and Liverpool's squad from 2019-20.
Zero: Jose Mourinho "I think this ball is beach ball. It’s too light. I don’t think it helps the players. But that’s not an excuse. We missed this absolute honker of an excu…sorry, not an excuse from Jose Mourinho after Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday. Presumably it’s the lightness of the ball that has prevented Spurs from keeping a clean sheet in all but one of their games under Mourinho.

Police at first blamed the disaster on drunken fans, an explanation that was always rejected by survivors, relatives of the victims and the wider Liverpool community who spent years fighting to find out what had happened. Later inquests and an independent inquiry absolved the fans of any responsibility.
England captain Kane had an operation to repair the damage following the injury suffered at Southampton on New Year's Day and was expected to return to training in April. From a rehab point of view and personal point of view, I'm doing really well," Kane told the Spurs website. I'm at a good stage now and just working hard, doing a lot of recovery, a lot of rehab and just waiting to see what happens to the season.
Oshmyany ”in the current season of the First League of Belarus look like ordinary middle peasants. That is why they are located at the equator of the intermediate standings. Their results are also not very impressive. After three rounds, the players of this team have only one victory with two defeats.
This is something that's really serious. A decision has to be made. Tianjin Tianhai, previously owned by the Quanjian group, were also former high fliers in Chinese football and, under coach Fabio Cannavaro, finished third in the 2017 standings to qualify for the Asian Champions League. But Quanjian owner Shu Yuhui's arrest for false marketing in 2019 saw the company relinquish ownership, with the club taken over by the local football association until further financial troubles emerged at the end of the 2019 campaign.
After listing more Ronaldo achievements with Real Madrid, she said: "Now, Virgil, go and win some of those titles that really matter and we will talk again. When you have a hand full of them, maybe you can sit at the same table as Cristiano. Ronaldo netted 21 Serie A league goals last season to help Juventus win an eighth successive Serie A title.
Leicester are currently the second best team in the league losing only twice so far this season. And those defeats were against 1st place Liverpool and away against Manchester United. Leicester has won all of the last 9 games in all competitions scoring at least 2 goals in each game.
As both teams focus on their respective league objectives, this competition is likely be viewed as secondary by both. The Addicks will prioritise moving away from the drop-zone, while West Brom boss Bilic has stated that he will rest key players after a busy festive schedule. Such circumstances make it tough for punters looking to get involved in this fixture.
German 2nd Bundesliga 15th game day. Karlsruhe will be looking for the first win since the last 5 league game, after 4 straight draws and the last lost game against VFB Stuttgart away 0-3.

Ill-disciplined Sancho set for early Dortmund exit Borussia Dortmund are reportedly ready to sell Jadon Sancho as early as January, according to the Independent. The 19-year-old has been out-of-sorts so far this season for the Bundesliga club and he has struggled with disciplinary issues off the field.
Christian EriksenGetty Images Despite the ongoing speculation, Eriksen has continued to feature for Spurs, but a below-par performance against Liverpool saw the 27-year-old booed off the pitch by some home supporters. One thing is to not put in his best performance, that is Christian Eriksen and so many players around the world,” said Mourinho.

Paper Round's view: Chelsea should be more patient with Kepa. He was bought as a long-term investment and he's still only 25 years old. When David De Gea joined Manchester United, he struggled in the Premier League, but then he became one of the best keepers in the world. It's unlikely that the west London club will recoup much of the £71 million fee they paid to Athletic Bilbao and he joined in 2018 so maybe Chelsea should keep him for another year and allow him to continue adapting to England.
We moved to Buenos Aires, but when we checked into the hotel, Martin Buchan said, "I'm not staying here, this is an absolute doss house". So Martin told the driver to take us to the Hilton where the Scottish FA was staying. We'd heard all these stories that people at home weren't happy and they would be in Glasgow waiting on us. We stopped in London first to let the boys who stayed there get off. I'm sitting there with Derek Johnstone and I'm thinking there's only four of us left on this flight, people were getting off in London who didn't even live there.
I can't help but wonder if that would've happened without the melee, after which Neymar was also booked. KEY STATS Neymar has been directly involved in 38 goals in 28 home Champions League games - 20 of them for Barcelona and eight of them for PSG - scoring 26 and creating 12. PSG have now reached six Champions League quarter-finals, more than any other French team.
The home side are in big trouble at the foot of the Portuguese Primeria League. Just two league wins all season and a distinct lack of goals being scored. If the wins don't come soon, then they won't be in this league next season. Gil Vicente don't have a great deal to play for and also struggle to score goals, especially on their travels. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
This was a Barcelona managed by Terry Venables, with Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes in attack, and a smattering of Spaniards who had gone deep in the previous summer's World Cup. And yet they left a heaving Tannadice beaten after Kevin Gallacher's astonishing early goal. The wee man said he'd practised it in training, but I must have been off that day," says Ferguson, who had been ineligible until that stage.
Hans-Jorg Butt - The majority of the Germany international's 32 goals came in the early part of his career with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen. His three in the Champions League remain a record for a goalkeeper in the competition. Peter Schmeichel - The top-scoring former Premier League player in the goalkeepers' roll of honour, Schmeichel scored 13 goals in England and his native Denmark. Raimond van der Gouw - If timing is everything in football then the Netherlands' former Manchester United stopper couldn't really be bettered.
A number of prominent Arsenal supporters' groups say "urgent action" is needed to halt the "alarming and desperate state of things" at the club. In July, they called for owner Stan Kroenke to "reinvigorate" the Gunners. Arsenal are eighth in the Premier League, eight points adrift of a top-four Champions League qualifying spot. It feels like the club is rudderless and floating aimlessly, unsure of its destination," said a statement from the fan groups.
He may be planning for life after Eriksen, but he may still need to rely on the playmaker in the meantime. Lo Celso wants Spurs exit Sticking with Spurs, on-loan midfielder Giovani Lo Celso wants to leave the club due to a lack of game-time, the Daily Mail reports. The Argentine joined on loan in the summer from Real Betis, but six of his seven appearances have come from the bench.
He was used as a makeweight for Arsenal to land Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back then, and now it appears he will be a pawn once more as Chelsea seek a striker capable of challenging Abraham for the starting spot. With Euro 2020 around the corner, it seems likely Giroud will move on so he can secure a place in France’s squad, but talk of Inter being interested in the 33-year-old is somewhat surprising.
There were details in the game which we knew but we lost because we didn't get them right. Against West Ham you have to make recovery runs. That is the bit we got wrong. It is why we are fighting for top four not one or two, because we don't get things right as much as the big boys do. I am not happy but at the same time we are two points ahead of Manchester United, who have been going great for some time.
Sadly, the subject of players being subjected to racist abuse will once again top the agenda, casting a cloud over Chelsea's deserved celebrations at the final whistle. Rudiger appeared to be the target after he was floored by Son's raised boot which earned the South Korea international a deserved red card just after the hour. Tottenham fans reacted angrily to Rudiger, who they felt over-reacted, even though he was clearly fouled.
Ahal was playing without mistake, and had all winning games in the league. They were going to derby against champion, having 4-0-0 and 7:0 goal difference. Team even got to score a early goal on that match, , but than conceded two fast and lost the game. That could make some issues for home side here, since they will face Energetik, which is playing very tough in defense.
Torpedo Zhodino didn't have a really good preparation for the 2020 season when they only won 2 out of 10 friendlies before the season. Not stopping, they also have 2 more losses against Shakhtyor in the Cup of Belarus.
A mini-tournament to decide the Champions League and Europa League will be one option put forward to ease fixture congestion caused by the coronavirus outbreak. European football's governing body, Uefa, is hosting a video conference with major stakeholders on Tuesday. Euro 2020 is set to be postponed to allow league seasons to be completed. A source close to the situation says all parties must be ready to sacrifice something to reach a solution.
He can improve and he should improve, that is why he went to Salzburg not Juventus because they have a great way to educate young players. They could have gone to Manchester United this time or Juventus but he chose Dortmund. A 19-year-old waking up after a hat-trick on his debut, it is great to wake up in Dortmund, not a Manchester, not a Turin. It is good for the progress of his career. Alfie Haaland always said we should think of the difference a club between wanting a player and needing a player.
Tommy Wright's side hasn't lacked conviction in front of goal in the same way other relegation sides have, with the Saints scoring a respectable 1 goal per away game, although that figure is largely eclipsed by the 2.8 goals they let in on their travels. Moreover, St Johnstone has scored in 50% of their away days and are yet to keep a clean sheet.
Rodriguez is obviously massively talented, as all football fans witnessed at the 2014 World Cup, but that was six years ago and his career has now reached a standstill. Returning to play under a manager who has faith in him could be the answer to rediscovering his old form. It would be a massive signing for Everton if they managed to sign Rodriguez.

Anderson added the fourth midway through the second half as he shook off his marker and slid the ball under Ramsdale before a VAR check rescinded a red card for West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell, who was instead booked for a poor tackle. The result lifted West Ham to 16th in the standings on 22 points from 20 games while 18th-placed Bournemouth, who have 20 points, dropped into the relegation zone after suffering their eighth league defeat in the last 10 games.
Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after 42 minutes after latching on to a flick-on from Adam Lallana, only for Craig Pawson to rule it out for a handball by the Englishman. Video - Nuno fumes at VAR: 'The referee is miles away, he doesn't feel the game'00:54 The Wolves players were further incensed when Neto had an equaliser ruled out for an extremely marginal offside, again by VAR.
It's going to depend on what we do this season and what happened in the last few seasons is going to have a big impact as well. Arsenal's Lucas Torreira will miss the West Ham clash after he fractured his ankle against Portsmouth in the FA Cup fifth round on Monday. He was quite positive this morning.
This time around, the mercurial forward has said vowed to “shoot from 40 metres” instead of shoot. Many told me it would be impossible to come back [from the injury]," he said. I worked hard and to the point I can still play now. It's] impossible to play like I did 10 years ago, but I know what I need to do: instead of running, I shoot from 40 metres! "I'm meaner than before.

They host Burnley who are tenth in the table but only six points behind fifth place. City still have that game in hand on Liverpool after their midweek postponement. There is a 25 point gap to make up though and Liverpool's title triumph looks likely to happen sometime in March regardless of how well City play.
Turkish 1 St league. Match where team Umraniyespor will play at home with team Altay. Both clubs are neighbors in the table. Difference between them is only 1 point. Hosts did 2 defeats and draw game at last 3 matches played. Their shape is bad. Guests did 1 -1 - 1 at last 3 matches played. My bet will be on guests with AH +1. Both clubs are have the such shape. On this week team Altay have a birthday. The best present for their fans will be a victory in our match. I recommend to try guests here with me .

So much for home advantage. How you reacted to the day on social mediaDylan Walsh: For the first time in my life, I get to watch Premier League football all day and legally on British TV. Never thought I'd see the day where a 3pm game on a Saturday would be shown live on TV. Ross McHugh: It feels weird watching league football on TV at 3pm on a Saturday. Luc Rees: 3pm kick off being shown live on TV in the UK and PL football on the BBC.

Where does he feel he has been most effective?Every move I made was up in terms of the quality of the club I went to. I had one of my best individual seasons at Aston Villa, when I played in the middle, and that got me into the England squad. I then played on the wing all the time for England and I went to Man City and played on the wing. I have always found it strange that I probably had my best season when I played in the middle but after that I was still moved out wide.
