Leicester v Liverpool (20:00)It is a big positive for Liverpool that they have had a week away in the sun together and, while it was not cracking the flags in Qatar, it was warmer and it was a nice change of scenery to train in. Of course they brought home the Club World Cup too, and if you put all of that together it was perfect preparation for this game. Leicester, who lost at Manchester City, will not roll over and they have got a decent record against Liverpool in recent years.
The only crumb of comfort for Gunners fans might be that after Manchester United replaced their own managerial colossus in Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes only lasted 10 months at the helm. Emery outlasted the Scot by eight months, and at least the Gunners are still a point above United and rivals Tottenham in the table this season. It may yet prove a foundation which temporary boss Freddie Ljungberg and the next manager, whoever that is, can build on.

Neither team were quite done there as Nicky Sumberbee's right-foot drive and another from Mendonca - completing a Wembley hat-trick - made it 4-4 to eventually force the match into penalties. On a goal-filled afternoon, they just kept on coming in the shootout as the first 13 spot-kicks were scored. Sadly for Michael Gray, his tame effort saved by Charlton goalkeeper Sasa Ilic will be one of the abiding memories for both teams.

But how many supporters will be given time off to watch Millwall against Middlesbrough this summer? The Lions are hosting Boro in the Championship at 15:00 on Wednesday, 8 July, after the latest fixture-schedule changes were announced on Tuesday.
Rodgers may be concerned by his side's downturn in form in the second half of the season - they have won only one of their past seven games, having at one stage been the nearest rivals to runaway league leaders Liverpool. Meanwhile, Brighton's win against Arsenal on Saturday was their first of the year and they have plenty of work to do to maintain their top-flight status with Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool still to play, as well as a crucial fixture against bottom-of-the-table Norwich.
We are taking this opportunity to develop ourselves,” Hayes told BBC Radio 5 live. But I’m finding it really hard to do that with a baby around my ankles. I snuck an hour to watch Bielsa on YouTube, I love that guy. I watched a video of him talking about tactics and formations against Brazil and I absolutely loved it. I had to hide in the cupboard for a bit so my son was not cognisant of where I was.

'Correct Score' punters can try a 2-0 win for the hosts. As tough as Napoli are to get at, they've not set the world alight offensively in this group, so plumping for an overly high-scoring win doesn't really appeal. Napoli will be keen to keep things tight, while they average 1.4 goals for per game, so a solid, but ultimately low-scoring win for the hosts appears to be the way to go.
Stam saw some Bayern players looking at the trophy as they walked past it. Great,” he thought. Have a good look but don’t touch it. It doesn’t belong to you. There was a bit of sympathy for Bayern from the man who inserted the dagger. To lose in that way must be terrible," said Solskjaer. To win it that way is that much better.

Limon will host UCR for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have real chance to get all three points. Yeah, both teams are one of the main outsiders in this campaign. However, the hosts have better team than their opponent. In last game Limon lost 1-0 against ambitious Guadalupe. On the other hand UCR is worst team in this league. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, they have a very difficult task on the road. UCR have fallen into a very poor show. They have four consecutive losses. I think, the hosts will closer to victory.

Roma, beaten 7-1 on their previous visit to the Artemio Franchi stadium in a cup match in January, went ahead with a well-worked goal after 19 minutes.
If somebody had said to me in August in Munich, after we won to go through, that we'd be in the semi-final in May time, no, I'd have found that very, very hard to believe," O'Leary says, remembering the mammoth task his team faced. The first round of fixtures delivered a humbling 4-0 defeat at the Nou Camp by a Barcelona side who, although far from a vintage crop, counted the talents of Patrick Kluivert, Marc Overmars and former World Player of the Year Rivaldo among their number.

Mourinho reiterated that the potential problem wouldn't affect him, but instead would be an issue for Three Lions boss Southgate and his assistant Steve Holland. Paper Round's view: It wouldn't be an understatement to label this potential situation as a disaster for England.
