The Champions League and Europa League returned this week, and while everyone loves a European classic it does present problems for fantasy football managers. Why? One word - rotation. Premier League managers love chopping and changing their starting teams in the games before and after their European exploits. How do you get around the problem? BBC Sport has taken a look at some of the options. Listen to the latest Fantasy 606 podcastThis gameweek's Premier League fixtures (all times GMT)Saturday, 22 February: Chelsea v Tottenham (12:30 GMT), Burnley v Bournemouth, Crystal Palace v Newcastle, Sheffield United v Brighton, Southampton v Aston Villa (all 15:00 GMT), Leicester v Manchester City (17:30 GMT) Sunday, 23 February: Manchester United v Watford, Wolves v Norwich (both 14:00 GMT), Arsenal v Everton (16:30 GMT) Monday, 24 February: Liverpool v West Ham United (20:00 GMT) Time to take out the big boys? With Manchester City facing Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday (26 February) and then missing a weekend because of their Carabao Cup final against Aston Villa before travelling to Old Trafford, it may be time to transfer out the likes of Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne as Pep Guardiola looks to rotate his squad.

Aston Villa’s rollercoaster of a season continued in December’s first round of midweek fixtures on Wednesday, with Chelsea taking a narrow but deserved 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge to leave the Villains in a somewhat precarious position as we head into this crucial time of the year.
Patrick thistle will be meeting with the away team Ayr and this game we can say that the home team will not be able to win this game and so with this we can say that we can be in a very good space of winning this game
The Belgian striker has struggled to force his way into the first-team reckoning since his £33m move from Marseille in 2016, starting just four Premier League games since then. Most of the 26-year-old's time at Stamford Bridge has been spent away on loan but despite his limited starts, his strike rate at the Blues is still impressive, averaging a goal every 92 minutes. It took him just six minutes to get on the scoresheet against Hull, and while there was a big slice of fortune about the goal - his shot deflecting wickedly off Tafazolli - Batshuayi had positioned himself well in the build-up, drifting away from his opponents to give him ample space to get the shot off.

Oli McBurnie's first-half goal saw Chris Wilder's side move fifth on 28 points, one behind fourth-placed Chelsea who visit Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday. Wolverhampton Wanderers, another club threatening to rearrange the furniture at the top of the table, came from behind to win 2-1 at relegation-threatened Norwich City.

Bundesliga fans are also angry that all Borussia Dortmund supporters have been banned from Hoffenheim away games for the past two seasons - a decision made in February followed a suspended sentence from 2018 - rather than just the ultras who led the protests. Sunday's match was suspended for more than 10 minutes during the first half when Union ultras showed banners with Hopp in the crosshairs and ones critical of the German FA (DFB).
Earlier this week the prestigious Indian Wells tournament was cancelled and the International Tennis Federation (ITF) has suspended all its events until April 20, including the inaugural revamped Fed Cup Finals scheduled for Budapest. The women's WTA Tour, reacting to the Miami Open cancellation, said the Volvo Car Open in Charleston would not be held and that it would make a decision this week on the European claycourt season.
Hopefully, the midweek games will take place as ninth placed Brighton and Hove Albion host Manchester United who are fourth in the table. Brighton have 12 points and that has them six points above the bottom spot that would relegate them. That sounds good but the problem is that they have played 14 fixtures and the bottom two both have two games in hand on them and 10th placed Birmingham have three.
Former England keeper Rob Green, speaking to BBC Sport, said Klopp's decision not to field his senior players and stay away was "clever mind games". Coming from Germany, he thinks we're crazy playing all these games, so it's a really interesting quandary and one where you're thinking he's got the upper ground here," added Green.

Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has said it is hard to see fans returning to matches "any time soon". If the Premier League and Football League resume then those matches will be played behind closed doors. The Premier League are also preparing for the possibility of playing the 2020-21 season without fans. The reality is that we just don't know how things are going to pan out," Clarke wrote in a letter to the FA governing council.

Liverpool could be as many as 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League come Saturday evening. They travel to bottom-of-the table Norwich City who are just the 55 points behind their opponents. If Leicester can win at Wolves on Friday evening, then a Liverpool win over Norwich will see them only 24 points clear, can't we just end the season now! Liverpool have won their last 16 league games and have only conceded one goal in the last ten, it's just total domination and let's hope this is the only time it happens.
In the first leg of this season, Real Esteli makes those who love them regret when they only get 3rd place in the rankings. However, from the underestimated position, Real Esteli once again made the audience go from surprise to surprise when passing a series of big teams to be crowned in the Apertura phase. After the excitement, Real Esteli won the first 3 matches of the campaign with a total score of 8-0. The last home match, Real Esteli also destroyed Chinandega 5-1. The distance of only 3 points from the top team Diriangen is the motivation for Real Esteli determined to win this match.
The side making the trip to Blundell Park is a Salford City team who know that their accomplishments in 2019 will live long in the memory of their fans as they managed promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history. Backed by the “Class of ’92”, there has been plenty of media attention on their accomplishments but the Ammies have had a solid, if an unspectacular start to life in League Two.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0 Aston Villa v Chelsea (17:30)Aston Villa are in trouble - big trouble. Individual mistakes are costing them in a big way and they seem to be making them at crucial times in games. I did not think they would be so deep in the mire but they have not been able to address their main problem. That is at the back, where they have conceded an average of two goals a game in the Premier League this season.
Niguez is young enough to keep improving but has the experience and talent to start delivering for the team right away.

Barca won the game thanks to a fortunate goal in the 79th minute from Chilean midfielder Vidal, who was in a clear offside position when he knocked in from close range but a VAR review ruled him on as the ball had bounced off Leganes' Ruben Perez. Barca extended their lead at the top of the table by three points although second-placed Real Madrid can go level with them when they host Real Sociedad later on Saturday.

Mohamed Salah fired them ahead from the penalty spot in the first half and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain doubled their advantage early in the second to wrap up a remarkable 23rd win from 24 games this season and stretch their unbeaten league run to 40. In a fixture postponed from December, when Liverpool competed in the Club World Cup, they never looked under any real pressure and picked West Ham off at crucial moments, defending manfully when needed and looking a constant menace on the break.
It has been difficult, you're used to being around your team-mates every day - 20-30 lads who become good friends," he said. When that stops for eight weeks, it does become difficult. You do what you can to keep in touch but we're just desperate to get back. We've been back now for two days, even though it's in small groups of around four and five. It's just great to be back around them and see how they're getting on.
ROME, Feb 13 (Reuters) - All eyes will be on Rome this Sunday as Inter Milan face Lazio in a crucial moment for a thrilling Serie A title race. The biggest question surrounding Antonio Conte’s Inter side ahead of the match is what team will turn up, after a week that has highlighted the unpredictable nature of the league leaders.
But they aren't, and he isn't. Against a string of supposedly inferior teams, Solskjaer's United have been found lacking.

Their next two matches are against Tottenham and Manchester City.

There are reports he has a release clause of £17m in his contract - with most of Europe's elite likely to be interested at that price. As of last season, players cannot be cup-tied in the Champions League so if he were to join a team in the last 16, he could play for them in the knockout stages. Three of the nine hat-trick scorers in the group stages were aged 20 or under - Haaland, Paris St-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid winger Rodrygo.
Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger made a string of saves to deny the Gunners a first-half equaliser, foiling Louise Quinn and Jordan Nobbs in quick succession before keeping Arsenal's 29-goal top scorer Vivianne Miedema out. Miedema had a hat-trick of chances to level after the break, drilling a low shot just wide before Berger twice saved from the Dutch striker - first from a header before making a fine reflex save.

Rod Stewart v The Green BrigadeHoop-on-hoop aggravation started in November when the fans group let off flares in the home Europa League game against Lazio, thereby guaranteeing a Uefa sanction. Rod was exasperated and criticised the supporters for it in print. Cut to December and revenge time. When the singer put a message out on social media congratulating Boris Johnson for winning the UK election, the Green Brigade saw their chance.
