Read the full story Rakitic to remain at Barcelona Ivan Rakitic is set to stay at Barcelona after the January transfer window, despite plenty of rumours regarding his unhappiness at Camp Nou this season. The Mail have reported that the Croatian international has decided to stay and fight for his place at the club after starting the last four matches for the Catalan club. Bayern have won four of their last six matches against Freiburg and over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of those victories. Freiburg have lost two of their last six matches while Bayern have won four of their last six matches, so you can see why we have backed the visitors to pinch all three points on Wednesday night. Antonio at least gave the West Brom defence something to worry about with his runs down either flank, but their best chance of an equaliser came and went when Noble blazed over when well placed in the final moments. Defeat means the Hammers have only a battle for survival at the bottom of the Premier League to focus on, and this was not a performance that will give their fans any optimism that they can beat the drop. I am really enjoying it,\" Mullins said. It was a big challenge but last night was fantastic to lead the team out against Leicester. The Hornets are looking for their third manager of the season, after Javi Gracia also departed in September. After sacking Sanchez Flores on Sunday the club said a replacement would be appointed \"imminently\". If they came to me with an offer like that then obviously I work for the football club so I would love to step in and do the role if they needed it,\" Mullins said, when asked how he would respond if offered the permanent position. José Luis Morales hit a 79th-minute winner as Real Madrid were beaten 1-0 by Levante at Ciudad de Valencia in La Liga. See alsoLevante UD - Real Madrid The result leaves Madrid two points adrift of table toppers Barcelona who beat Eibar 5-0 earlier in the day. Morales’ strike, a goal-of-the-season contender, came just moments after Eden Hazard had left the field of play injured. Letting a two goal lead slip on Tuesday night was an obvious disappointment for Real Madrid, although they performed extremely well for the majority of the contest and a damn site better than they did when going down 3-0 in Paris at the start of their Champions League campaign. This is a big opportunity for Lazio to force a twist in the title race by defeating Inter to leapfrog them in the table. Recent results suggest that there is a decent chance Lazio can do it. Last weekend, Inter roared to victory in the Milan derby. While their comeback was impressive, their initial two-goal-deficit failings weren't. In Denmark, Brondby IF and Kobenhavn are expected to meet today in a Superliga match which will be held at Brondby stadium, Copenhagen city. In the table, Kobenhavn takes position 2 with 60 points after playing 28 matches while Brondby takes position 5 with 44 points after playing 28 matches. After two wins, Warta Poznan lost in the last match. With second place, the team is still close to a auto promotion place. Termalica has 4 points after the break and is in the middle of the table, but also only 6 points ahead of the relegation places. Meanwhile, Lazio’s last two Coppa Italia campaigns have opened with 4-1 wins over lower-tier opposition, so this should be a straightforward home win. We’re going for Lazio with a -2 handicap in this clash, while a 4-1 home win is our correct score pick with Cremonese scoring in four of their last five away cup games. I want the chance to do something which gets us feeling hope for the future. The big thing to do is win the next four or five games and make sure we are a Premier League club. West Ham entertain Chelsea on Wednesday, looking for their first league double over their London rivals since 2002-03. Since the Premier League season restarted on 17 June, West Ham have lost to Wolves and Tottenham and are yet to score. Crystal Palace 15 6 3 6 14 18 21 . Tottenham 14 5 5 4 24 21 20 7 Wolverhampton 14 4 8 2 19 17 20 .

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. Celestes have lost their last five La Liga matches including a 4-1 beating at Barcelona last time out and sit 18th in the league, four points adrift of 17th placed Real Betis.

Nathan Holland (Oxford United) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. There’s always going to be that discussion with him. But it’s great to have him back,\" he said. Two clubs will have new managers in charge for the first time with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal at struggling Bournemouth and Carlo Ancelotti taking the reigns of Everton at home to Burnley. Third-placed Manchester City face a tough trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday. Barca top La Liga on 28 points and have a game in hand on Atletico, who are fourth on 25 and in a dire run of form, winning once in their last six games in all competitions. Real Madrid are second on 28 points and can go clear at the top for at least a day when they visit Alaves on Saturday in the middle of a resurgent run of five wins in seven games, in which they have scored 21 goals. It worked, because United were able to hurt Liverpool on the transition by getting the ball forward quickly, and turning their defence. So far, they are the only team to take a point off the Reds this season. Can Leicester do the same, as they go for the win? Well, we have seen them play with three at the back before, in the second half of their fightback to beat Everton on 1 December, and that switch also saw them play with two strikers. Isloch will host Torpedo BelAZ for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. Both teams are very average teams in this season. In my opinion, the visitors have better team in this campaign. However, Torpedo BelAZ have fallen in their shape. In last game Torpedo BelAZ lost 0-2 against Dynamo Brest. Also, we have Isloch who's is also not very good team in recent times. True, in last game Isloch is won 0-1 against FC Minsk. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Isloch is better home team in this campaign. And he has also not trained at the club's training ground in Carrington, instead training with a personal coach at the Taekwondo Centre in MAnchester. Ighalo will be introduced to United training once the advised 14-day incubation period has passed, and could be available to make his debut against Chelsea on Monday.
