There will have been plenty trying to convince themselves that this is all a really good idea, that they will love and admire their new manager nearly as much as they did the last guy, but will victories be enough to do that? He’s already started.

But a failure to get there with this squad could not be viewed through the same prism. Hardly anyone in the game thinks it is a 'top four' squad. And Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay - who are three of the most important players in it - are all injured. I think deciding Solskjaer's fate on a top-four finish would be unfair - and is unlikely to happen.

Their defensive performance is impressive and will improve further if goalkeeper David de Gea can recapture his best form. By contrast, Tottenham will be encouraged by their ruthlessness in front of goal, but need more ammunition from their creative players. Spurs can also point to an unusually high concession rate from the big chances they have faced - something Hugo Lloris' return from injury should help improve.
ZURICH, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Swiss prosecutors are preparing to return money to the South American soccer association that was seized from Swiss bank accounts during a sweeping global probe of corruption involving world soccer officials.

Last season, Sollentuna FK competed in Ettan Division 1, the Swedish 3rd division. Meanwhile, FoC Farsta played in Division 3, the 5th division. At the end of the 2019 season, Sollentuna finished only 13/16 teams with a record of winning 8, drawing 9 and losing 13 matches and scored 37 goals and received to 42 goals conceded. With this position, Sollentuna must play relegation play-off. Thankfully, they have won Motala AIF in both matches to continue to stay in the 3rd place this season. Since the beginning of 2020, Sollentuna has had 8 matches including 5 friendlies and 3 cup matches. In all 3 matches in the QG Cup, they lost easily when they met teams too strong.
Iago Aspas' late equaliser for Celta Vigo dented Barcelona's title hopes. Barca go top with the point but Real Madrid can establish a two-point lead if they beat Espanyol on Sunday. Luis Suarez headed Barca in front from Lionel Messi's clever free-kick but Fedor Smolov levelled from Okay Yokuslu's pass. Suarez then swivelled and smashed in a great strike - from another Messi pass - but his ex-Liverpool team-mate Aspas' perfect low free-kick rescued Celta.
If you are a goalkeeper and your confidence has been shot away, you cannot be risked.

But with vast oil and, therefore, wealth reserves, some have accused the teams of unfairness, with former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger going so far as to label it "financial doping". European governing body Uefa has tried to curb spending by applying financial fair play rules and in some senses that has succeeded. It is hard to see a return to 2017 when PSG paid £200m for Brazilian forward Neymar, which may be a relief for rival clubs and leagues who want to remain competitive.

Pogba has played only eight times this season after having surgery in the autumn to correct an ankle problem. The 26-year-old's comeback was then delayed by illness, meaning he did not resume training until mid-December.

Solskjaer said last month that Pogba would not be sold in January.

For my job it's not good to have this window so open," Ancelotti told reporters on Friday ahead of Crystal Palace's league visit. For a manager, it's the best way for the season to start and the window to close. You have to manage players for a month who want to leave. It's more difficult. Everton have had an upturn in from since Ancelotti took charge, losing only once in their last 10 league games to move out of the relegation zone and up to ninth.
