A series of racist incidents have tainted European soccer recently, with Italian striker Mario Balotelli threatening to walk off the field after receiving alleged abuse from Hellas Verona fans last month while Shakhtar Donetsk forward Taison was shown a red card for reacting to racist jeers during a match.
The next best is James Tarkowski of Burnley (299/440 so 68%). Van Dijk also has won the highest percentage of aerial duals - out of 45 players who have competed for 150+ balls in the air, he has won 76% (184/243)22. Lindsay Johnson: Jordan Henderson (8)It's because of his determination on and off the pitch. A true professional, he has been instrumental in Liverpool's momentum. Tim Cahill: Kevin de Bruyne (8)The maturity Jordan has shown as a leader, and for that football club, you can't put a price on it.
Robert Lewandowski has a good season every season but this season is even better than those other seasons. He's scoring at a rate not seen in Germany since Gerd Muller, banging in 40 goals in 32 games for Bayern so far in this campaign. Injury has ruled him out for a few short weeks but he has a number of adequate deputies as could be seen in the 6-0 win at Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The one bright spot for Johnson was the return of on-loan Stoke City striker Benik Afobe, who started for the first time since August following a serious knee injury. The 27-year-old former Wolves forward lasted 63 minutes on his return and showed some nice touches, but at times also cut a frustrated figure having been asked to play out wide.
I very much enjoyed the time we spent together over the years. Tilkowksi, who played for Westfalia Herne before moving on to play for Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, won 39 caps for his country. He subsequently managed several clubs, including Werder Bremen, Nuremberg and AEK Athens.

Well first of all with Harry Kane, it's not nice to hear - even though it's a competitor within the league - of an injury to a player," Lampard said. Tammy's got himself into regular squads with the goal-scoring that he's done with us. I'm delighted with his progression. For me, yes - he can play at the very highest level but he's still in those early stages.

The Reds have a long way to go to match AC Milan's remarkable unbeaten Serie A run from May 1991 to March 1993 - a sequence of 58 games lasting for 672 days. To catch that the Reds will need to stay unbeaten until 5 November this year. If they managed to finish this campaign without defeat they would be second behind Milan on 50 games and 500 days, 584 by the time next season starts (if it begins the same weekend as this season).
It has been reported that Williams told Athletic captain Iker Muniain about the abuse, who then informed referee Jose Sanchez Martinez. No black player or any player ever wants to hear that," Williams told the Athletic Bilbao website after the game. It's completely out of order, people should go to matches to enjoy themselves, to support their team; football is a team sport and should be played in a friendly atmosphere.
Strong, fit and organised will never go out of fashion' - what the managers saidBurnley manager Sean Dyche, talking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am very pleased with that. We know it's a tough place to come and it was a good performance from us. We scored two very good goals. They didn't find any killer moments, which was very pleasing. Strong, fit and organised will never go out of fashion. Grim reading for Solskjaer - the statsBurnley ended a run of 15 away league matches without a win against Manchester United, tasting victory for the first time since a 5-2 win in September 1962.
Undoubtedly, their main issue is at the back. Aston Villa have the joint third worst defensive record in the league (alongside Watford) and have shipped 2.11 goals per game away from home. Watford have been slightly better at the back in front of their own fans this season, but have still conceded 1.44 goals per game on average.
Yet Klopp believes his side are still improving. We can do things better and we have to," he said after the win over Sheffield United. In the dressing room there was no party or something. While a first English title since 1989-90 looks a formality, Liverpool still have a way to go to match other great runs in European football.
A day later it was announced he would miss PSG's match with Nantes because of a rib injury. Paris St-Germain manager Thomas Tuchel branded Neymar's birthday party "a distraction"From one South American forward to another. Carlos Tevez, 36Boca Juniors and Argentina striker Carlos Tevez is 36 on Wednesday. Once part of the 'golden triangle of attacking talent' at Old Trafford alongside Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, he became the 'Welcome to Manchester' poster boy (literally) for Manchester City just two years later.
We can certainly stay in the league and we're going to give it our best shot. Nothing has changed with my thinking. There's a certain number I think we need to get points-wise out of the next 30 games and that's not changed. There will be an enormous expectation but we still have a lot of work to do. We need at least 50 points so we need another 49 in the remaining games. That could see us home. Bolton pleaded guilty to the charges at 14 November's hearing and subsequently a disciplinary commission also ruled they will be handed a financial penalty.
The team is in a difficult phase, but we will do everything we can to turn the tide. We have to do that together. Together we have to achieve a comeback.

Zidane still wants Pogba Spanish newspaper Marca believes that Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane still wants to sign Paul Pogba from Manchester United, though there are a couple of obstacles to the signing. The first is that Real are unsure where he might fit in the current squad without getting in the way of the development of younger players, and that he wants 16 million euros a year.
Last season's tally of 49 points now appears a very realistic target with nine games remaining after another solid performance which typified Hodgson's spell at Selhurst Park to date and perhaps even sees Palace trade safety concerns for unlikely dreams of European football. Recent back-to-back 1-0 wins against Newcastle and Brighton epitomised the no-nonsense style with which Hodgson's Palace have repeatedly steered clear of trouble and this showing was no different as centre-backs Gary Cahill and Scott Dann protected Guaita with unrelenting determination.

It is hard to make a case for the visitors to walk away with anything other than the three points in this contest as they are good on the road, in a rich vein of goalscoring form and are at the top of their game right not. All of this is a stark contrast to their hosts who have no manager, are struggling to find the back of the net and seemingly incapable of earning three points.
Our first real bit of quality play led to the first goal and we upped the tempo from there. That's seven points out of nine now. We took the goals well and we've got a clean sheet, so it's really pleasing. This is the best position we've been in during the three years I've been here and arguably the best position the club's been in for a decade, so what we should do is embrace it.
Things have been going a little better in the Premier League though, with only two defeats in their last 10 league outings and five wins to bolster their points tally. This leaves the Red Devils 5th in the table, five points adrift of the top four.

Turkey midfielder Calhanoglu netted a stoppage-time equaliser before giving the Rossoneri a 3-2 lead in extra time as the home side claimed their fifth win in as many games to set up a last-four clash with Juventus. Milan were clear favourites and went ahead on 12 minutes when midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura latched onto Ante Rebic's cross.
Victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will take Liverpool's points tally to 61 from 21 matches, 12 points more than Arsene Wenger's Arsenal at the same stage in 2003-04 when they completed an entire season unbeaten. Liverpool are also unbeaten so far this season and 13 points clear at the top of the table with a game in hand, but Klopp said he will not allow his players to get distracted by the prospect of setting new benchmarks.

Just outside the drop zone in the Championship sit both Huddersfield and Stoke.

We need to hear urgently from the FA and from Premier League clubs what their intentions are: will women continue to pay the price for a ban 99 years ago, that still overshadows women in football today? Or is there a road to equality? Women players and supporters deserve answers. Manchester City head of women's football Gavin Makel told BBC Sport last week the decision to end the season was not "a missed opportunity".
Just look at this extraordinary display of defence from Fabio Fognini yesterday. Video - 'Just insane!' - Incredible defence from Fognini as he wins 'rally of the tournament'01:12 SPORTING WORLD On Sunday evening the sporting world lost one of the most influential figures in its history. He was a generational type of athlete who transcended his sport, the rarest thing an athlete could do.
Wilder is clearly at ease in a tracksuit on the touchline. He may have spent most of the night with his hands in his pockets but he was a constant presence on the edge of his technical area and when there was a point to be made - to a player, one of his coaching staff or fourth official Simon Hooper - he was firm in making it. Moyes has over 500 more Premier League games behind him than Wilder but he was 24 games without a win away at a top eight club prior to kick-off and until Felipe Anderson strode through just before the break, there was little to indicate his side were capable of breaking that run.
I'm going to keep going until my body says no' - Hibs' McGregor'Rare injury' blow for Rangers defender HelanderCentral defender Filip Helander could be sidelined until after the January winter break with what Gerrard described as a "quite a rare" foot injury.

Chelsea host Bayern Munich at Stamford Bridge in the last 16 of the Champions League on Tuesday (20:00 GMT), before facing Bournemouth away in the Premier League next Saturday (15:00 GMT).
It was also the first time a team has scored in double figures in a league game. With Chelsea's game away to Everton postponed due to a frozen pitch, Arsenal and Manchester City, who narrowly beat bottom side Liverpool 1-0, leap-frogged the Blues to go top of the table on 21 points, with Arsenal ahead on goal difference.
That's why it's important for the regulations to continue as they are and no-one tries to make the most of the circumstances and not pay. Henry's message to Norwich U23 player Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has sent a video to Norwich City U23s striker Shae Hutchinson, who suffers from Alport syndrome and is therefore classed as highly vulnerable due to the pandemic.
Arsenal will be looking to get a home win over Brighton and narrow the gap on the top four. Their form has been inconsistent but they still haven't lost a home league game this season. Their opponents have the second worst away record in the Premier League but at least their boss got a new contract last week. Arsenal can get a home win here.
Al Ahly has a perfect start to their season so far in the league with 12 games played and 12 games won not only that but they have scored 35 goals as well in those league games alone, very attacking minded side they do not take into account that Pyramids is a good side as well and will come here to attack score goals and add another win to their account, they tried the same thing last season opening the scoring early but Pyramids replied well and won the game 2-1 in the end.
