They then visit Everton next Sunday, 1 March, in the Premier League (14:00 GMT).
Fulham have not tasted victory for three matches now, a 1-1 draw at Derby being the latest result to prolong their winless streak. With the race for promotion being so competitive, they cannot afford to continue dropping points. Unless, of course, their rivals also drop points, which happens with regularity in the very open Championship.
The hosts started well in Turin, as they attempted to make it five straight league wins, but Emre Can was unable to convert from close range in the opening moments. Maurizio Sarri's side then took a deserved lead when captain Bonucci's shot from the edge of the box was deflected into the far corner. But their lead only lasted two minutes as Boga beat the offside trap and lifted the ball over Buffon to make it 1-1.
The result left Southampton 12th with 34 points from 27 games while beleaguered Villa stayed 17th on 25 points, one above the relegation zone. The Saints dominated proceedings and debutant William Smallbone hit the post with a deflected shot in the sixth minute before Ireland striker Long netted the opener two minutes later.
Four of the last five meetings between these two sides have yielded over 2.5 goals. Leicester City have no win in their last five away league matches. Arsenal have eight wins in 16 home league matches. Leicester have scored in each of the last five meetings with Arsenal. The side playing at home has won each of the last five meetings between these teams.
Yet Celtic broke the monopoly, finishing two points clear in May 1998. Charlie Miller, right, regrets that Rangers couldn't complete the 10That missed opportunity remains a huge source of anguish for former midfielder Charlie Miller. The 10 comes down to Rangers and Celtic always wanting to outdo each other," the 44-year-old says. I'm still sad to this day we didn't win that title. It was a combination of factors - injuries, Laudrup and Walter had both announced they were leaving at the end of the season, Gazza was sold.
They reached the FA Cup first round eight times and the second round twice. Liverpool players John Aldridge and Jimmy Case used to play for them. Legendary Hungarian Ferenc Puskas did so once, in a charity game. South Liverpool applied to join the Football League on 10 occasions. They were unsuccessful every time. A combination of financial problems and their club house being burnt down in the late 1980s sent the club into a tail spin and by 2006, they were in the first division of the Liverpool County Premier League.
Hazard is Real's joint-record signing but has struggled with injuries since his 100-million-euro ($108. Chelsea last June, missing the start of the campaign with a muscle problem before hurting his ankle against Paris St Germain on Nov.

Leeds have won two of their last 11 Championship matches Bristol have won their last three away matches in the Championship. Bristol have failed to win any of their last six matches with Leeds. Leeds United return to Championship action this weekend when they welcome Bristol City to Elland Road. Chasing promotion in the closing stages of the season, Leeds are not making the experience easy for their fans.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Is this Arsenal’s biggest game of the season? This, as you will already know, has been a weird Premier League season, in which one absolute colossus stands astride of the rest, laughing heartily at their puny efforts, while the remaining 19 clubs scrabble around for something approaching basic competence.
Another match for today from Germany Bundesliga where I will bet on goals and I will try that. So, Eintracht is this season team who is at home playing very efficient and probably, they will be on that level in this time. I was enjoy in their duel against Bayern Munich, actual champions, who are they beat at home with even 5-1. In last few matches, this team is every time played with three or more goals and now, surely will be same and this time. Over 3 is, like in match Werder - Schalke, very real option and I will try.
After 18 months away from football, his West Ham return began with a 4-0 home league win against Bournemouth on New Year's Day and an FA Cup victory over Gillingham. However, defeat by Sheffield United last time out left the Hammers 16th and just one point above the bottom three. They now face Moyes' former side Everton on Saturday. I was disappointed I didn't stay before, I felt the work we did warranted it, but I understand the owners can decide what they want to do," Moyes said.

Here are some of your responses. Was Gareth Bale's overhead kick for Real Madrid against Liverpool one of the best Champions League goals of the decade? It featured highly in many of your suggestions Divock Origi's crucial contribution to Liverpool's Champions League win this year was a feature in many people's favourite moments of the competition in the 2010s Was Robert Lewandowski slamming four goals past Real Madrid for Borussia Dortmund in 2013 the best individual performance of the decade in the Champions League? There's countless memorable Messi moments in the Champions League over the years, but one or two of you particularly enjoyed the time when he put Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng on the floor with a particularly dazzling piece of skill back in 2015.

In an email seen by BBC Sport, Giles Watling has written to other members of the DCMS committee calling for an evidence session on the claims. He said the issue was "even more relevant now within the context of the likely takeover of Newcastle United by a consortium backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund". Having spoken to DCMS chair Julian Knight, he added that it was "particularly pressing as the government refused to comment on the takeover to the committee recently" and said the hearing "ideally should be with the secretary of state [Oliver Dowden] and representatives from the Premier League".
Leverkusen have scored in each of their last eight competitive games. Furthermore, Leverkusen have been very tough to keep quiet at BayArena this season. The home side have scored in nine of their 10 competitive home games this season.
Greenwood has got nothing to worry about if he is to lead the line on Sunday because, when he has been given chances to shine, he has done great," Betfair ambassador Berbatov said. He's a goalscorer, and with that left foot of his, he certainly knows where the net is. I wish him luck for Sunday and I'd urge him to stay calm, don't be nervous and if the chance comes, just take it.

Industries all over the world have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and football in Australia is no different.
That means only eight teams actually go out in the group stages. If England win Group D, their last-16 tie would be in Dublin, with a potential quarter-final in Rome. If they finish second, it would be Copenhagen and St Petersburg. There are other possibilities if they finish third. Wales will face at least one trip to Azerbaijan or Russia - with their two possible groups being hosted in Rome-Baku or Copenhagen-St Petersburg.

The move follows that of La Liga rivals Barcelona, whose players agreed to an extra pay cut in addition to a club-imposed 70% reduction while football is on hold, in order to ensure non-playing staff earned their full salaries. Those decisions contrast with several Premier League clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur, Norwich City and Newcastle United, who have faced criticism for cutting the wages of staff during the pause in matches, while making no reduction to players' often multi-million-pound salaries.
Piracy claims surrounding the proposed takeover of Newcastle United should be scrutinised by government, according to a member of the Digital, Cultural, Media and Sport Committee. The £300m deal - backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - is being checked by the Premier League under its owners' and directors' test. But the Arab state's alleged role in pirate network beoutQ showing Premier League and other sports illegally has led to demands for further investigation.
In the betting, 'Atalanta to Score Over 1.5 Goals' catches the eye. The Italians are yet to notch twice on the road, but their performances suggest that multiple travelling goals are well within their grasp. Moreover, the hosts have struggled massively to keep things tight, even at home, shipping six goals in three matches, conceding more than once in two of those three. Frankly, after Zagreb went to OSC Metalist and both scored twice and created lots of chances, Atalanta look a good bet to enjoy themselves offensively. After all, as anyone who saw the reverse fixture knows, the Italians scored and created plenty against Shakhtar when the pair met at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d’Italia.

Good signs, however, and in Mason Greenwood a sensational teenage talent. Wise buying can push them to the next level as they are miles behind Liverpool. Pre-season prediction: 5thWhat I said in August: "Can Solskjaer turn around United's decline? A game-changing signing in the next day or two may help but currently I struggle to foresee a top-four place. Newcastle United - 13thHands up. Got this one very wrong.
Paper Round's view: If there was ever any evidence needed that footballers are in desperate need of a rest then this is exactly that. It's an absurd decision to make a club play two matches in two days on two different continents, but obviously Liverpool needed to prioritise one of the competitions. There seems to be more money involved in the Club World Cup and it's a competition that clubs rarely get to play in (unless you're Real Madrid), so it makes complete sense that the Reds opted for that one.
Liverpool had the 'Spice Boys'. Manchester United had the Class of '92. One was more style than substance. The other had both. Evans had a team and a squad that could never quite be trusted - hugely talented but fatally fragile. The Houllier reboot Gerard Houllier, left, was Liverpool's first non-British or Irish managerIt was time for more change at Liverpool - and it arrived in unorthodox fashion on 16 July 1998 when Gerard Houllier, fresh from playing a part in France's World Cup triumph, was appointed joint-manager alongside Evans.

Newcastle United v Everton *Everton have beaten Newcastle 20 times in 48 Premier League meetings, including seven away from home. A solitary goal has separated the teams in three of their last four league games. After losing to Arsenal on the opening day of the season, Newcastle are unbeaten in their last eight games at St James' Park (W4 D4).
We just looked at it and looked at the personnel we had. We can always go back to that or we can stay with the three [at the back]. So we're flexible with whatever formation we want to play. The new system allows Lennon to play an extra central defender, as well as full-backs like Greg Taylor and Jeremie Frimpong in more attacking roles on either wing. Yet the manager thinks the addition of an a second central forward is the most important element of the tactical switch.
Video - Gianni Infantino on coronavirus: ‘If games have to be postponed, we will do that’00:46 The number of deaths in Italy from the illness rose to 29 on Saturday and the accumulated total of cases reached 1,128, authorities said.

PSG midfielder Julian Draxler came close after the break as he shot over with just the keeper to beat before firing against the foot of the post, while substitute Cavani squandered a good chance by scooping a finish over the bar in added time. It was a routine win for Tuchel’s side, who travel to Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, while Lille host last year's semi-finalists Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday.
My pick for this match between Holstein Kiel vs Arminia Bielefeld in 2 Bundesliga is over 2.5 goals. I think that his match will be very offensive. Guests are league leaders, they play very well at away. I think they are able to win this emcz 2: 1.
Alfredo Morelos is a 10-part Netflix series unto himself. When his team needed him most on that run-in, he collapsed. In his last nine games he didn't score once. That's 12 hours without a goal for a proven goalscorer. That's not an issue of talent, it's an issue of mentality. Gerrard has signed too many players who are not made of the right stuff. They won five of their last 10 games. They lost against Hearts, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, drew with Aberdeen and St Johnstone, and and got over the line by a single goal against St Mirren, Hibernian, Livingston and Ross County.
