Arsenal's 49-match streak is beatable this season but matching AC Milan's remarkable 58-game run without a Serie A loss from 1991-1993 still looks a distant prospect. To emulate that great Milan side would require Liverpool to go unbeaten in the Premier League until November. Even to break the British record looks a daunting task with Celtic's 62-match unbeaten league run between 1915 and 1917 looking untouchable.
Halkett was also Livi's joint top scorer last season. Lyndon Dykes stepped into the breach with nine league goals. Steven Lawless got eight. Their home pitch undoubtedly helped them - they won eight, drew four and lost only two - but Holt was astute in his signings and his team retained the doggedness of before, even if they were struggling at the time play was suspended. They beat Celtic 2-0 in their highlight of the season and were seconds away from defeating them a second time only for Tom Rogic to score a 90th-minute equaliser.
The Premier League has featured some of the world's best players since it began in 1992. But who should be the first two inductees when it launches its Hall of Fame?With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero ineligible as they are still playing, we've put together a pretty handy list of 10 players with a strong case to be included. Some legends miss out - you may well think Paul Scholes or Eric Cantona should make the list, for example - but we've attempted to balance things like longevity, key statistics and major honours won.
Paper Round’s view: Bournemouth are owned by a Russian billionaire, so it is a bit rich that they did not take this decision initially.

DISALLOWED GOAL! West Ham looked to have nicked a point. It starts with a brilliant, winding run from the otherwise anonymous Declan Rice after winning the ball deep in Sheffield United's half. He slips a pass to Snodgrass in the area on the right. He hammers a low shot that beats Henderson at his near post and trickles in off the post.
Espanyol's second managerial change of the campaign sees former Alaves boss Abelardo step into the hotseat, and the 49 year-old must begin his quest to keep Periquitos afloat against the side he turned out for as a player nearly 200 times during the 90's and 00's.

Aguero's prospective lay-off. He has a tendon problem in front - will be a few games out. He added: "We will miss Sergio.

It's all got a bit too much," Real coach Zidane told a news conference. I'm just looking at what he can give us on the pitch, not what's said off it, that doesn't interest me. I believe he can become a decisive player for us again. He's an important player when he is injury free; he's shown that before and he will show it again.
Lionel Messi scored his 50th goal of 2019 as Barcelona beat Alaves to end the year unbeaten at home. Luis Suarez assisted three goals and scored the other as Barcelona went three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. Antoine Griezmann scored the opener and then Arturo Vidal blasted in a second, before Pere Pons' header for Alaves.

They had just beaten Liverpool 2-0 in the FA Cup fifth round and then thrashed Everton 4-0 in the league. But, 105 days on from that win against the Toffees, Chelsea looked fresh and motivated from the outset against a Villa side fighting for survival. The only concern, however, was their inability to turn chances into goals - particularly in the first half. Mason Mount saw a powerful strike kept out by Villa keeper Orjan Nyland before Ruben Loftus-Cheek, making a welcome return to the side after a year out with injury, just failed to turn home a teasing ball across the face of goal.
Tainted title? That's delusional': When a 30-year wait becomes a little longer United stun Real with 'important offer' for Van de Beek - Euro Papers The number one Dean Henderson Dean HendersonGetty Images If Henderson were to carry on his Sheffield United form as it was (before the coronavirus break) then he has to be looked at as a number one.

In little more than a week, the mood has changed at Everton. It was all doom and gloom when Marco Silva was given his marching orders, but two games later and The Toffees appear to be on the up. They're yet to appoint a permanent manager, though they're doing fine under the temporary stewardship of ex-player Duncan Ferguson, who has overseen a home win against Chelsea and a draw at Old Trafford.
A confidence boosting 3-0 success at home to struggling Espanyol was a major catalyst for Gaizka Garitano's side at the end of October, and following a decent 0-0 stalemate away to Villarreal next time out, Los Leones have gone onto beat Levante (2-1), Osasuna (1-2) and Granada (2-0).
Double disappointment for Carroll in Cardiff By 2004, the FA Cup final was in its fourth season in its temporary home of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium as the reconstruction work at Wembley continued. The record books tell of a routine 3-0 win for Manchester United against then First Division side Millwall, with United keeper Tim Howard relatively untroubled throughout. United's sub keeper that day was Roy Carroll, who had played in the semi-final win over Arsenal before losing his place in the side a few games before the end of the league season.
wurzburger kickers is in great shape and it feels like they are coming for the playoff zone and top of the table, in last two games they beat sonne of 0-6 on the road and then Ingolstadt 3-1 at home and their fantastic offense should score at least two goals tonight and on the other hand Munster is very close to the relegation zone and it feels like they are playing much better on the road then at home, at home they lost two in a row and I think they cant avoid another defeat tonight so I recommend this bet for sure!
This game from Turkey we have given it a draw at looking at the last games this two teams have played together they have been recording a win in the last 6 games and so in this game we can say that a draw will be a very good record

Things are pretty clear at this match. There is only 3 rounds until the end of the season at Serbia and both teams are playing for nothing as they will finish at the mid table.Both coaches is expected to come up with a mixed squad and do some experimenting at the first half. When it comes to when this two teams are playing each other usually the matches are tough and difficult. I expect same tonight. This was a solid season for both teams especially for Napredak and they should take this match easily and not to force anything to risk some injuries at the end

The North West Counties League has written to the FA to ask for an explanation. For South Liverpool, the cost is financial as well as being denied entry into the NWCL. I don’t see how you can just turn round and say a league that is well over halfway through has not happened," club secretary Jim Stanway told BBC Sport. This is his club's story. A rich history - Aldridge & PuskasFounded in 1935, South Liverpool were once a non-league side of some repute, playing in the Lancashire Combination and then the Northern Premier League at Holly Park.
I know they are slightly different to the type of player he uses in his midfield, because they usually operate slightly further forward, but I still think they will be given a go. The wide positions up front are also pretty much taken, by Raheem Sterling and Jadon Sancho, but there is not an awful lot of back-up behind those two either. Rashford, who can play on the left or up front, is out and Callum Hudson-Odoi has not been playing much for Chelsea.

Obviously the first thing people mention is the run in Europe but those two seasons were sublime and up there with two of the best I had in my career.
