Monterrey performed well at the recent Club World Cup, running Liverpool close in the semi-final before going on to claim the bronze medal by getting the better of Al Hilal. However, the trip to Qatar was a long one and the side must now quickly shift their thoughts back to domestic affairs and this opening phase final against Club America.
Sepsi made a lot of tough fouls and received a bunch of yellow cards last round in the first half at Viitorul as they found themselves playing in just 9 men before the half-time break and lost that game easily with 4-1 in the end, they are missing those two players now and anyways their squad lacked quality even with those players, they have 3 losses in a row and are playing quite weak as the change of coach had no effect in good for the side.
I like Juve fc tomorrow I think with the comeback of ronaldo, Atletico Madrid will struggle to keep Juve off them and Higuain is in beautiful form and I think he will continue his form I see this game being a 2 nil victory, Atletico struggled this weekend against Granada fc and I expect them to struggle tomorrow. Playing away is a very difficult task and it will be very hard to keep them at bay for the full 90 minutes and juve are very clinical and I just see it being a one sided match tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it
The Telegraph reports that players are confused by the Spaniard's selections, tactics and instructions, and that there is a growing sentiment inside the squad that Emery should be sacked to get Arsenal back on track. A source told Telegraph Sport: “The problem is the coach. He still makes bad decisions and changes his tactics.
In the Nicaragua U20 tournament, Chinandega U20s started quite badly. After 16 rounds, this team has only 14 points, currently standing at the bottom of the table.

Posted at 48' Hand ball by Aaron Connolly (Brighton and Hove Albion). Tottenham striker Harry Kane is aiming to become only the third player to reach 200 Premier League goals after scoring in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over West Ham. The England captain netted his 137th league goal for Spurs in his 200th appearance for the club. Only Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney have reached 200 Premier League goals. I'm still only 26 so hopefully I can get to that 200 mark sooner rather than later and go from there," said Kane.
TALKING POINT Is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for real (again)? When he took over at United on an interim basis a year ago, a brilliant run of victories for Solskjaer secured him the job full-time. Since then it’s been a mixed bag of results for the club, leading to much sneering criticism that it was a sentimental decision that over-promoted the former Molde and Cardiff City manager just because he was a club legend.
Arteta, who replaced fellow Spaniard Unai Emery as Arsenal manager in December, conceded it was difficult to plan for a long-term rebuilding job in the current circumstances. I have very clear ideas in terms of what I would like to do in terms of the squad, in terms of certain individuals and how we can improve the team, but obviously the case or scenario (is something) we don't know," the Spanish coach added.
That achievement was one of very few bright sparks for Celta last term as they slumped to a 17th placed finish and they are not faring any better this time around.

Inter Milan went back to the top of Serie A, despite conceding a late equaliser to Fiorentina.

Tanganga got told 'you are going nowhere'I don't blame Jose for playing the way he did against City, because of the way results went when he first took charge of Spurs. He knew he had goals in his team so he went out and just let them play, and they had some crazy results in the first few weeks when they were winning by all sorts of scores. That was never going to last. I could feel it coming where, in his mind, he went 'enough is enough'.
They must beat Spain by four or more goals and hope the USA lose to Japan to stand any chance of winning the tournament. The winner is determined by the total points won from all three games before goal difference, goals scored and then head-to-head results are taken into consideration. Neville said there was more "confidence and relief within the team" following the victory over Japan but he knows "we still have a long way to go".

Biggleswade Town are the only team in the league without a draw at home so far this season. Including the cup games, they have scored in each of the last 13 games at home but have also conceded a total of 6 goals in the last 2 games.
The Canaries may be in the FA Cup quarter finals but they have only won one of their last six games with four defeats. They have only scored in one of their last five league games and desperately need Teemu Pukki to find his scoring boots. Home form has improved though with only one loss in the last five league games at Carrow Road.
But then out game the secret machete, in the slightly unexpected form of an absolute clanger from Lukasz Fabianski, who let Mo Salah's dribbler of a shot through his legs. West Ham probably thought that sort of thing was behind them when they quietly sent Roberto off to that farm, but it probably speaks to the sort of desperate trouble they're in that even their most reliable player is now a fully paid-up member of the clown school.
Norwich have nine losses in their last 15 home matches. They have conceded at least two goals in 10 of the 15 matches at home, while they have failed to score in three of the last four, which they have also lost. However, they have failed to score in just three of the last 15 matches at home. They have no win in the FA Cup at home in seven matches, and their only win in 11 at home in the cup, came in 2012, against Burnley.
The hosts have played much better at home than they have on the road this season, securing all five wins in their own backyard, while Vitesse have performed well at home and on the road where they have picked up nine wins from eighteen matches. Fortuna Sittard score an average of 2.00 goals per home game but Vitesse have won 44% of their away games which is well above the league average of 30% which is why we have backed a 3-2 win for the visitors this weekend.
The hosts only appear to be getting worse too as they have failed to score in their last four league matches, a fact which has plagued them all season as they have also failed to score in exactly half of their home league games. This lack of goalscoring ability is something which will need to be addressed by the new management as soon as possible, as they have just a six point gap over the drop zone and know that they can ill afford for this form to continue the way it has been going for much longer.
It is the first top-flight clash between the sides since April 2016 when Watford edged Villa 3-2 at home.

Norwich City v Tottenham Hotspur (1730) *Norwich are looking for their first Premier League win over Tottenham since February 2014 when they prevailed 1-0 at home.
Jose Mourinho has certainly stopped Spurs from sliding into the abyss but how long is he going to keep up with this utterly facile charm offensive and start turning this Tottenham team into a side that can win the big games away from home? Hearing Roy Keane even suggest that Spurs lack the 'mentality' to win those games is enough to make a Tottenham fan want to lie down with a cold compress on the forehead in a darkened room.
Haaland now pairs up with fellow 19-year-old Jadon Sancho, who earlier this season became first ever player under the age of 20 to score 25 career Bundesliga goals. So can the teenage duo lead the club to success?"Dortmund are a club that are really frustrated," says Honigstein. They see the potential of the squad, especially up front. I don't think we will see the likes of Sancho and Haaland playing together for many more months let alone years.
Defeat in both upcoming games could well see Alaves sucked into the relegation dogfight, but their home form this season suggests they can hit back on Matchday 17. Babazorros have only lost to Real and Sevilla at Mendizorroza where they have won four from eight this term, whilst also picking up a decent 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid on Matchday 11.
