However, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema are both missing for Real Madrid because of injury, and Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is also sidelined. The travelling is not ideal for any of the clubs, but they will not have any La Liga games to catch up on when they get back, as there is a break in the league until 17 January. Copa del Rey games are currently taking place, but the four Super Cup teams have a bye to the last 32.
Independiente have managed to score goals in the 2 of the last 3 games in the league and have won 2 and lost 2 of the last 5 league games. At home they have managed to win 2 and lose 3 games in the last 5 home league games with them scoring 7 goals and conceded 8 goals in the 5 games.
The emphatic away victory leaves Liverpool with 52 points after 18 games, not quite half-time for them, having played a game less given they were busy being crowned world champions as well. A stellar 2019 would be trumped by 2020 should it finally deliver a Premier League trophy. It would end the goading from rival fans, the ‘It’s our year’ taunts, and firmly place Liverpool back at the top of English football’s tree.
He and Sergio Busquets – who was booked for the high tackle that put Mertens out of the game – will miss the second leg. Their absence is far from ideal, especially with a number of key players out through injury. But there is not a team in the world who would be unhappy with a score draw in the away leg.
I'm hugely concerned it could have an impact on many clubs. We're very fortunate that we have a very experienced board and management team. That's not to say it's easier for us than any other club, but we will be thinking radically and using that experience in a very difficult environment to try to make the best of this that we can. However, Colchester chairman Robbie Cowling believes there were "alternatives" to cancelling matches altogether and said the next few weeks will be "really tough on clubs and other businesses".
When we put him into the team he played with such intensity, such drive and quality, and there were lots of positions he played in for me because he was so versatile, such an incredible young footballer," Rodgers added. With Pep (Guardiola)'s coaching he has developed into a consistently world-class operator, and he will believe himself there is still a lot more to come.
Paris St-Germain forward Neymar says he is "training hard" to be ready for whenever there is a return to playing. Football in France was suspended on 13 March and PSG were awarded the Ligue 1 title after the season was ended early because of the coronavirus crisis. But PSG remain in the Champions League, which Uefa still hope can be completed. The aim is to be ready for when they signal the return of club activities, so I can be in the best possible condition," said Neymar.
Whatever was said behind closed doors seemed to do the trick as Napoli have won six of their subsequent seven games in all competitions, including cup wins over Inter Milan and Lazio as well as a league win over Serie A leaders Juventus.

Spurs, with Son Heung-min also absent after surgery on a fractured arm, have struggled to find a focal point in attack recently and opted for a fluid front three of Bergwijn, Alli and Lucas Moura, though it was Aurier who proved their most penetrative threat. It was from the Ivory Coast international's driven cross that Spurs took the lead, as Bergwijn pounced after Alli's initial effort was saved to score his second Tottenham goal since a January move from PSV.

Roberto Gagliardini was prepared to play despite not being at 100 percent, because we were in an emergency situation. It makes a coach happy to see players like him, Matias Vecino and Borja Valero go through the pain barrier to put the team first. Inter went ahead when Antonio Candreva's cross was diverted into the net by a Lukaku header after 31 minutes and Gagliardini scored the second two minutes later with a deflected shot.
I once played a match without fans as a player and it's sad because the motivation you get from the atmosphere at a game is very important. But we will have to listen to whatever the authorities say," he added. If they decide that (playing without spectators) that is the best measure to take, then we will have to oblige.
Christine Sinclair made her debut for Canada in the year 2000, aged 16, announcing herself with three goals in the Algarve Cup. Last night, she scored her 184th and 185th goals for her country, taking her past the USA’s Abby Wambach to become international football’s all-time leading goalscorer. That’s 20 solid years of kicking balls into nets.
Now comes the second leg and it's hard to see Sporting getting close to getting back back into this tie. They will want to win the game though and restore some pride. The first leg saw Sporting Cristal get off to a terrible start conceding two goals in the first 13 minutes. No more goals were conceded in the first half but a third followed just five minutes into the second half.

He was captain for so many years when Manchester United were absolutely dominating.
Healthy rivalry with Liverpool can only be good for Man City. Liverpool are a good team, European winners and respect to them. But we have won the Premier League twice in a row. In terms of consistency Man City are a better team, we just need to get that last one in Europe now just to show everyone. Guardiola's team won an unprecedented domestic treble last season but Europe remains the final frontier left to conquer.
This isn't like the racism we've experienced many others in Italy in the recent period, this is superficial and unfortunate of people not understanding of how messages can be mixed up in words and perceived in a bad way," Calvo told BBC Radio 5 Live.

Marcus Rashford scored two goals on his 200th appearance for Manchester United as they beat Norwich 4-0 while Chelsea eased past Burnley at Stamford Bridge. Rashford latched onto Juan Mata's cross to open the scoring at Old Trafford before doubling the lead after the break from the penalty spot, after Brandon Williams had been brought down by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul. Anthony Martial headed in a third just three minutes later before Mason Greenwood wrapped up the victory just moments after coming on as a substitute.
The sides looked fairly evenly matched for the remainder of the first half, but Spurs were given an opportunity when VAR awarded them a penalty thanks to foul by Bjorn Engels on Steven Bergwijn. Son found the net from a deflection after new boy Pepe Reina initially saved the penalty. It was very much a game of redemption – or so it seemed – as Engels came back in the second half to even the score again, taking advantage of a great cross by Grealish.
Will take a rather cautious bet here in this one but really no need to with the hosts coming from being 2-0 behind last round in the second half away at Vozdovac in a game where I bet on both teams scoring and they won it with 3-2 in the end so morale has to be good on their side but Mladost won both games after the winter break with 2-1 both times so over 2.5 goals covered in both their games so far, and are with good morale as well.
Burnley won 1-0 at West Ham. Garth Crooks' team of the weekGoalkeeper - Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) Emiliano Martinez made two excellent saves from Kelechi Iheanacho to keep Arsenal in the game against Leicester. The Argentine has looked solid since he took over from the injured Bernd Leno but it's Kasper Schmeichel who makes my team of the week. The one-handed save from Alexandre Lacazette was first class and so was his tip over the bar when he was almost deceived by Hector Bellerin, who shaped to cross but hit a shot that almost crept in.

The visitors have a pretty poor record when it comes to keeping the ball out of the back of their net and they have conceded 33 times in their 24 games. However, they have scored 31 times and go into this match full of confidence following a 4-1 win away at Oldham and a 3-1 at home to Crewe. With a decent away record to boot, they will be expecting to return home with the three points following the conclusion of this fixture.
Qatar played all 3 games with over 2.5 goals starting with a 2-1 loss against Iraq as I witness them being quite weak in defense in the decisive game with UAE but mostly the difference in quality between the two sides made Qatar easy win in the end 4-2 that game as defensively even while defending with most players they were easily broken and concede two cheap goals one from the penalty kick and one after a keeper mistake and the keeper of Qatar also made the first penalty kick.
Isloch did suffer a third defeat in the league, by conceding four times in Soligorsk for the big defeat. They are going up and down, and team already was conceding three goals on their games.
