La Liga leaders Barcelona played out an entertaining draw with fourth-placed Real Sociedad. Mikel Oyarzabal gave the hosts the lead with a penalty after Sergio Busquets fouled Diego Llorente, but Antoine Griezmann equalised with a clipped finish against his former club. Luis Suarez then put Barca ahead from Lionel Messi's unselfish pass. But Alexander Isak equalised as he fired home after Marc-Andre ter Stegen parried Nacho Monreal's cross-shot.
But even more important is he adds a physical element to Barca's midfield. He competes for a lot of balls. He's very important off the ball because he runs constantly, like Xavi did in the past. People often didn't realise that Xavi always covered more ground than anyone else, and now De Jong is bringing that quality back into the team, which is what they desperately needed.

Nice will need to be careful here as they face a Brest side desperate for some points.

It is not the first time Pope's tweets have created debate. In June, after watching England lose to the Netherlands on television, the former Bury, Rotherham and Crewe forward wrote that he would "love to play against John Stones every week!" and would score 40 goals a season if he did so. After his goal against a Manchester City team containing Stones on Saturday - in a game Port Vale lost 4-1 - he made reference to that tweet and wrote: "I'd just like to say I was completely wrong and bang out of order to say I'd score 40 a season.

It has not exactly been the sort of season that Burton Albion fans will write home about as they have struggled to find the back of the net on a regular basis and they currently find themselves well down the table as a result. The hosts lack of ability to score means that, perhaps unsurprisingly, they come into this match having won just once in their last seven league encounters.
The 30-year-old scored twice in Arsenal's 3-2 Premier League win over Everton on Sunday, lifting them to ninth and improving their chances of qualifying for Europe next season.

Oh dear. He apologies to Bardhi. Hazard injury? Hazard looks to be limping which is not good news for Real Madrid. Of course, the Belgian has only just returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

Both teams have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions and that’s why we are expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair in the KNVB Beker. Cambuur are yet to lose at home in the league this season and Feyenoord have only won twice on the road this season, but have also only lost twice on the road as well, all of which suggests this cup tie will be competitive.
I was convinced Mauricio Pochettino was not going to quit Tottenham but his future was not in his hands and, although I cannot understand many of the reasons behind his sacking, it has also felt like the end of the road for a while. And, in a way, it may feel like a liberation for him and his coaching staff. Pochettino is a fighter and wanted to continue fighting, but in the end whether he stayed or went was always going to depend on the club.
Manchester United will be at home to host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the next round of Premier League matches. Going to this game, Manchester United have managed 34 points and are fifth while Wolves have the same number of points but with an inferior goal difference, which leaves them seventh on the standings.
With 13 goals and three assists, 32-year-old Vardy's renaissance under Rodgers after he stagnated under Claude Puel is the biggest contributing factor to their run, even leading to questions about a possible return to the England set-up. Leicester also have the best defence in the league, conceding nine goals and enjoying six clean sheets with a centre back pairing of the veteran Jonny Evans and 23-year-old Caglar Soyuncu -- the latter proving to be the biggest surprise.
Juventus had produced an impressive win in their final game before the suspension, beating Inter 2-0 to retain top spot, but their performances this season have been far from convincing. They scraped past bottom club SPAL 2-1 on 22 February and had lost three of their five league games before that. Last week's goalless draw with AC Milan saw them edge through to the Coppa Italia final on the away goals rule.

These teams have been both strong teams for getting the ball into the box this season and this could be a very high scoring match with how open they play their matches against each other. Can see this match having a lot of goals but will play it safe and pick over 2 for the match. This will be attacking right from the start, as both of these teams do not usually look to defend as much as some other teams do, they look to play some faster football and look to get in to dangerous scoring positions more often
Brest won the title in the recent year, mostly thanks to their tight defensive play, and minimal victories, where their opponent could not reach out to the scoring. However, they could go with light different way in this season, especially when take a look on their result at the start of the new competition in league. Team is able to concede a goal, from even underdog rival, but also to pull out, and score two or more for the positive result.

And yet Arteta can lift spirits and make the biggest statement of his reign when Arsenal face Manchester City - where he was assistant to Pep Guardiola - in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday (kick-off 19:45 BST). So how is Arteta settling into his role before the game that can shape Arsenal's season?Arteta attempting to instil fighting spiritArteta was understandably all smiles after Arsenal came from behind to beat Liverpool 2-1 but he was also realistic as he said: "The gap between the two teams today is enormous but the accountability, the fight, is now equal and I'm very proud of that.

Kenny was player-manager - it's unbelievable, I don't think there is any story that can compare with that, just incredible.

It makes me very proud to be associated with it. It's great, but I know that Liverpool have a lot of good players and I have to improve. I still have a lot to learn to get to that level and play there. Do Liverpool really need Werner? With that statement, Werner hit the nail on the head. Despite the great quality that he undoubtedly has, the question really arises whether Liverpool need him at all.
