Tactical foulsThe issue of 'tactical fouls' has again been a talking point around a Manchester derby. Guardiola is adamant he has never instructed any of his players to deliberately foul an opposition player to halt a counter-attack, although his words would have more credence were it not for his former assistant and current Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta telling City's midfield players to do exactly that in the Amazon documentary released about the club earlier this season.
For both of their sakes, we just hope that they agree. IN THE CHANNELS We’re going to stay with Inter’s wonderful social media presence because, well, just look at Christian Eriksen here.

But it hurts when you are not involved and I was sitting there in the stands thinking about it the whole time. You almost switch off from what is happening in the game. If you look at the celebrations afterwards, a lot of people are on all the different photos but I am nowhere to be seen. I couldn't bring myself to stand there, it just did not feel right - you feel like you have been let down. The worst thing was the flight home, though.

It's certainly not been a vintage campaign for MK Dons, whose early season hope soon turned to despair, though under the management of Russell Martin things have improved. Thanks to their recent form, the Dons are no longer in the drop-zone. They've lost none of their last four, two of which they've won, while they've also won three of their last six. Such form is a vast improvement on what went before.

Their home form has been particularly impressive and the Stade Louis II should play its part here as Amiens come to town. They've won their last five games at home and have scored the second most goals in front of their own fans this season, second only to PSG.

All things considered, backing a Benfica win to nil looks to provide good value as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do.

They feel the hate so intensely and we don't," said Sarah Skarum, FC Copenhagen fan and journalist for Danish broadsheet Politiken.
