Extending on their EFL Trophy adventure last time out as they stormed their way to a stunning 7-2 romp away at Salford, Matt Hamshaw's side will be desperate to use that season-best performance as a platform to build on going forward. Knowing that they can find a route into the top-half of the League One standings in midweek, the Reds have not suffered a single defeat within 90 minutes from any of their previous 13 consecutive appearances across all competitions.

Liverpool go to Leeds this evening. Follow all the action here with our live commentary... Leeds have the chance to slay another Premier League giant this evening when ailing Liverpool visit Elland Road. The Reds' problems continued in midweek with another lifeless performance against Sunderland, although they did manage to claim a point to move into eighth place. At the same time, Leeds were beating old rivals Chelsea to breathe new life into their relegation battle.

Swansea City know they have to get this managerial appointment right. The Championship club have slid down the table at an alarming rate in recent weeks, picking up just 10 points from 12 league games ahead of the visit of Derby County on Tuesday night. Head coach Alan Sheehan was sacked earlier in November after just over six months as permanent manager, with his former assistant Darren O'Dea taking charge for Saturday's 3-0 loss at Bristol City - a defeat that left Swansea 20th, only four points above the relegation zone.

Starting with the hosts, while Rob Edwards might have officially been unveiled at Molineux during November's international break, the former Middlesbrough boss has a monumental challenge on his hands. Breaking a string of unwanted records since opening up the new campaign, the Old Gold have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Sat rock-bottom of the Premier League table and remarkably putting just two points on the board, Wolves are rightfully installed as a landslide relegation favourite this season.

Starting with the hosts, while Real Zaragoza might have dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Segunda status, Los Manos have an almighty battle on their hands. Getting this weekend's fixtures underway sat rock-bottom of the table, Ruben Selles' new squad have continued to show a string of glaring issues. Only putting six points on the board from any of their first 13 Segunda appearances, the former Sheffield United boss has a huge amount of pressure on his shoulders.

Starting with the hosts, while Mirandes might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign once again installed as a standout play-off contender, Los Rojillos have shown a string of issues and find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Suffering late heartbreak away at Cultural Leonesa last weekend as they eventually fell to a 3-2 defeat, the Burgos-based outfit have rightfully come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny.

Rodgers' situation at Celtic came to a head quicker than many expected. Now, he's got to be careful about where his next move is. Going somewhere like Wolves is a possibility, but it's not exactly a step forward in his career. He'll have a look at the situation and make a decision about, if he was to take over tomorrow, does he feel he would be able to turn things around?

Here we go again. Serie A featured last season's best sprint to the finish, with a tight title race, an intense melee for the European spots, and a five-team relegation scrap. Napoli emerged as champions, Juventus snagged the last Champions League spot, and Empoli and Venezia got shot into hell (Serie B). It was a thrilling conclusion to a thrilling season.

Starting with the hosts, eventually falling short last season as they missed out on the chance to book a top-half finish among Italy's elite, Torino are desperate to go one-step further this time around. Last seen putting in what was a sensational performance as they clinched a 1-0 victory at home against reigning Serie A champions Napoli, Marco Baroni's men will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
