That point at Newcastle might just come back to save Dean Smith’s @LCFC today. But they’ll need all three points against West Ham, and a favour from Bournemouth.

Sam Allardyce’s @LUFC need to beat a flagging Spurs team – and for results elsewhere to go their way – if they are to remain a Premier League club. A huge ask for Leeds.

The Argentinian Primera Division returns this Friday. The 2020 season ended last March just before the football season was impacted by the pandemic.

A look at last season

Boca Juniors were crowned champions for the 34th time after after they pipped River Plate on the final day of the season.

River Plate just needed to win on the final day to secure the title but they slipped up as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Atlรฉtico Tucumรกn.

Boca capitalized with former Manchester United and Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez scoring the winner against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata at La Bombonera.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA – MARCH 07: Carlos Tevez of Boca Juniors and teammates celebrate winning the championship after a match between Boca Juniors and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata as part of Superliga 2019/20 at Alberto J. Armando Stadium on March 7, 2020 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. (Photo by Marcos Brindicci/Getty Images)

The manager of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata for the final day clash was Diego Maradona, who sadly passed away last November.


A point to prove

River Plate will be desperate to avenge last seasonโ€™s events, where they faltered under pressure. They will once again by led by iconic coach Marcelo Gallardo, who won six league titles as a player for River Plate but has yet to win one as a manager despite winning many other cups.

Los Millonarios scored the most goals in the division last season, netting 41 in 23 games. But they conceded 10 more goals than Boca Juniors, who incredibly conceded just eight goals in the entire season.


Colon end trophy drought

Only just recently Colon de Santa Fe won the Copa de la Liga, their first title since they were founded 116 years ago. They beat Racing Club 3-0 in the final.

The tournament was designed to replace the traditional league competition after the season was affected due to the pandemic.
