Rafael Benitez is the first man to manage Liverpool and Everton since William Edward Barclay in the 1890s Liverpool have scored 19 goals from corners in all competitions this season, the most of any Premier League side, with Ibrahima Konaté scoring the last three of these in each of his last three appearances. A flare was thrown onto the pitch from the Crystal Palace end and firecrackers were set off by Palace fans. What else has happened so far?As well as wins for Liverpool and Chelsea, plus a draw for Manchester United, the first legs of the last-16 ties saw Kylian Mbappe - who was the subject of multiple offers from Real Madrid in August - score a 94th-minute winner against the Spaniards to hand Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 win at the Parc des Princes. Italy were without Ciro Immobile, Andrea Belotti, Nicolo Zaniolo, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Marco Verratti and Giorgio Chiellini in Belfast, but that does not mask the fact they fielded a team that should have been able to overcome the nation ranked 58 in the world. Yet pretty much all the supporters went over to a team they could not go to watch at first - because of Covid rules - who play in different colours (red and white instead of blue), do not have Limerick in their name and do not claim to be a direct continuation of the old club. To get back to winning ways and back amongst the goals, the gap to Bournemouth in second is now just six points heading into the weekend.

Former technical director of the Confederation of African Football, Abdel Moneim Shatta, even suggested the event could be moved to Qatar at the start of December. League rules state that a club must play a game if they have 13 outfield players and one goalkeeper available. The small club making a big noise in the Bundesliga. It is not like we wake up every morning thinking to ourselves how special we are. They signed Jack Grealish, but he's not done anything yet and they're still going to win the league. I was still young and I had my ideas, but he was a different level of inspiration on how I looked at the game. I knew Dave would have a similar way of doing things. Then I spoke with the head coach and really liked what they were saying. Everything I could say could be interpreted in a different way. What do England need to qualify?England need four points from their final two group games, at home to Albania and away to San Marino next month, in order to be certain of top spot in Group I and a place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Obviously Leicester are not in a perfect situation, admitted Klopp. They have injuries and probably still Covid cases. We conceded seven goals with Toni against Brentford and Real Madrid, that answers the question, he added. We knew before the match it would be emotional. We knew what would happen with three points. Derby's pressure is much tougher. Our pressure is the nicest pressure. But the point stands that if Liverpool win their game in hand and then beat City away from home at the start of April, theoretically Pep Guardiola's side will have to defend a five-point gap through to the final day. Can you have a Retro Corner featuring a player that's still playing? We're saying yes, for two reasons. One, time moves through football in strange and unpredictable ways. The fact that birthday boy Radamel Falcao is still going, having been into his slump and out again, only makes those happy long-haired days with Atlético Madrid feel farther away. Conjunction heightens contrast. Orlando Pirates co-coach Mandla Ncikazi seemed to be blaming the match officials after Bucs were held to a draw by Swallows FC on Tuesday night. The Buccaneers drew 1-1 with Amaswaiswai in a PSL encounter which was played at Dobsonville Stadium with Ruizagh Gamildien cancelling out Bandile Shandu's opening goal.Ncikazi felt that the Buccaneers had enough chances to win the game and also made it known that he is unhappy with some of the officiating against his side this season.That becomes a problem in our game where we create the opportunities but the final pass or the shot, we don't score, Ncikazi told SuperSport TV.And it comes back to bite you. You give confidence to the opponents. If we had taken our chances early enough we wouldn't be in the situation that we are. But we played in patches today. I don't think we dominated throughout. There were moments where it was scary. Swallows were a bit dominant but had enough chances to score. We just missed that final pass. And the refereeing doesn't help. Pirates have been subjected to this subjective officiating for quite some time. I can calculate from a number of matches. It's either it's closed or it doesn't fall for us. I hope it will change at some point. I'm not making excuses today. Not the best of games but again we had opportunities to win. Some decisions I think should have fallen for us but it didn't happen.The former Lamontville Golden Arrows head coach gave an example of the Soweto Derby clash against their arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs which was decided by a late penalty as Pirates succumbed to a 2-1 defeat last month.Not only in this match as I'm saying. Even the best analysts when they analyse it's always bad for us or they won't show it at all. I just feel we are not as lucky in terms of officiating. I can calculate from the Kaizer Chiefs that they got a penalty. We were supposed to get a penalty on the other side, he continued. You expect from the analyses from the best analysts you will see that. It doesn't even show. There's a penalty that we got through Peprah that we didn't get against AmaZulu. The list is endless and when you say this as a coach you sound like you are making excuses. Ncikazi also feels that his charges were tired in the second-half against Swallows as they turned their attention to their highly-anticipated clash with Mamelodi Sundowns at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Friday. Today was not the best day. But based on the opportunities we created I would say we have a better advantage. Let's take the point and try to be ready for Friday, he added.The difference between Swallows it's maybe a stage where we need to refresh the team. I thought maybe we did not do much in that department. If you look at the changes they made and the changes we made, we did not change the team we played in the previous match [against TS Galaxy on Saturday]. But we are aware of it. We have to try. This schedule is very difficult to manage as a coach. You go for the continuity of a team that won previously or you just change when you're trying to refresh the team. And I don't think we did very well in that department. The manager has his reasons but I kept working hard. Chelsea's tricky JanuaryThomas Tuchel's injury-hit side face a series of pivotal fixtures in January, including Premier League clashes with title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, plus three meetings with bitter rivals Tottenham. It is these individuals who, in our view have paid the price for what seems to be the inertia of board members who failed to ensure that young boys, in contact with Higgins, were as well protected as they should have been.

He was not happy beachside he was injured and had Covid but he wants to score for us, make us successful and that is pretty much it. I don't see any misunderstanding in communication. That is why I was surprised, and still am. He's our number nine and I cannot say any more.

Everyone wants to see him back to his best and I think that was Jimenez back to his best tonight. There is work to do and Wolves really should have finished Everton off, avoiding the nervy finish.
