Knowing that three points will be enough to officially punch a top-four return, Lille will travel to the Stade de l Aube on Saturday night when they meet Troyes.
Troyes
Starting with the hosts, while Troyes might just about clung to their Ligue 1 status last season, it has been another nightmare campaign for Patrick Kisnorbo’s men. Free-falling their way out of France’s top-flight and with it their relegation long since confirmed, the Blues are certainly limping their way over the finish line. Last seen putting in yet another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Troyes, the former Melbourne City boss has found growing pressure on his shoulders. In what has quickly transformed into a record-breaking rut, Saturday�…
Liverpool and Arsenal are set to battle for the signature of Bayern Munich midfielder Mario Gotze, .
The twenty-three year old has barely featured for the Bundesliga champions this season, racking up just eight league appearances so far and his only goal coming in the 5-1 win over Borussia Dortmund back in October.
He has however struggled with injury and made his return to the fold as an unused substitute in Bayern’s 1-0 win over Koln last Saturday.
Since moving signing from Dortmund in the summer of 2013, Gotze has played over a hundred times, scoring thirty-four times while he has been part of the squads that won the league title in both 2014 and 2015.
Internationally, he has been capped forty-eight times for Germany, scoring sixteen times with …

Pep Guardiola described Jurgen Klopp as an incredible manager on the eve of Liverpool s trip to Premier League title rivals Manchester City.
The reigning champions face a seven-point deficit to Klopp s Reds, who are yet to taste a top-flight defeat this season ahead of Thursday s crunch clash at the Etihad Stadium.
Last October s showdown between the two sides at Anfield ended in a goalless draw, but Liverpool prevailed in three of last season s four meetings.
If that recent record suggests Klopp may have got the measure of Guardiola s City, the former Barcelona coach did not appear too concerned and freely offered up warm praise for his German counterpart.
First of all, he s an incredible manager, said Guardiola, who saw his side beat Southampton last…
On Tuesday, England captain Harry Kane became the 10th man to win 100 caps for the Three Lions, and he marked it in style.
He scored twice in a Nations League clash with Finland at Wembley.
Kane is England s record scorer, now with 68 goals for his country, and his latest accomplishment only cements his status as one of his country s all-time greats.
The Bayern Munich man has repeatedly outlined his desire to play on until his late thirties, and with the international game continuing to expand, he will surely fancy his chances of overhauling Peter Shilton s record of 125 caps in quick time.
As Kane joins an exclusive club of England centurions, we dive into the best Opta data surrounding his international career to date.

Celta Vigo have completed a coup in securing star striker Iago Aspas to a new four-year contract.
Aspas has been a revelation for Celta since returning from Sevilla in 2015 for a second spell, and the club have acknowledged his inspirational form this term by tying him down until 2023.
The forward s career looked to be at a crossroads when successive seasons at Liverpool and Sevilla saw him score just two league goals in 30 appearances.
But a move back to Celta – where he came through the academy – saw him find his form again, scoring 14 LaLiga goals in the 2015-16 campaign and 19 in 2016-17, when he also helped the club to the Europa League semi-finals.
¡BOOOOOM! ¡ renueva y será celeste hasta el centenario del club!
