Instead of promoting him to a regular starter, Fulham signed Raul Jimenez from Wolverhampton Wanderers to lead their attacking line, which puts the faith of manager Marco Silva in Vinicius in question.

Colombia striker Luis Muriel expects Venezuela to be a fierce opponent as Reinaldo Rueda s side look to build on their opening victory in the Copa America.

Edwin Cardona scored the only goal of the game as Colombia kicked off their Group B campaign with a 1-0 win over Ecuador.

Los Cafeteros will be expected to win by a more handsome margin when they meet Venezuela in Goiania.

Colombia have not lost to Venezuela since the 2015 Copa America and face a side still missing key players after their squad was hit by a coronavirus outbreak prior to a 3-0 opening loss to Brazil.

But Muriel was impressed by what he saw from Venezuela even in defeat, and does not anticipate Colombia having it all their own way.

The game against Ecuador was very difficult, …

Market: Kilmarnock win

Odds: 2/3 @

Hoping to make a welcomed return to winning ways on Wednesday night, Kilmarnock will welcome Livingston to Rugby Park.

Starting with the hosts, while Kilmarnock might be cruising towards a top-half finish this season, Derek McInnes’ men are seeking a recent boost. Eventually having to settle for a 1-1 stalemate away at Motherwell over the weekend, the former Aberdeen boss has seen his squad win just one of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions. However, extending on their Scottish Cup adventure on January 20th as they secured a 2-0 win against Dundee at Rugby Park, the Ayrshire-based outfit should be smelling a real opportunity here. Gaining plenty of plaudits this year and making a string of improv…

Inter loanee Matteo Politano scored the only goal as Milan s Serie A title hopes were dealt another huge blow with a 1-0 defeat at home to Napoli.

Antonio Conte s Inter moved nine points clear at the summit thanks to a late 2-1 win at Torino earlier on Sunday and that gap remains the same following stuttering Milan s fifth league loss of the campaign.

Both sides lacked quality in a low-key first half but it took just four minutes of the second for Napoli winger Politano to make the breakthrough at San Siro.

Milan had a late penalty appeal rejected for Tiemoue Bakayoko s challenge on Theo Hernandez, shortly before substitute Ante Rebic was sent off for dissent, as Napoli stretched their unbeaten league run away in this fixture to a sixth game.
