Luca Antonelli is confident that Genoa can cause an upset by beating leaders Juventus in Serie A on Sunday.

Antonio Conte s side have only lost once in the league this season and are currently unbeaten in 19 top-flight matches, while mid-table Genoa have taken just one win from their last four Serie A outings.

However, Gian Piero Gasperini s men have only lost three home league matches and Antonelli reckons that the club s fans could play a big role as Genoa look to record a win over Juventus for the first time since 2009.

We will try to make the impossible possible, the defender told the club s official website. The difference between the two sides in terms of value and our positions in the table are enormous.

We need to fight with the spirit that characterises …

Blanc s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Lyon at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, producing another sub-par performance in a game that saw Samuel Umtiti hit home an 84th-minute equaliser for the visitors after Edinson Cavani had given PSG the lead.

That result came on the back of a 1-1 stalemates with Rennes and Ajax, both of whom claimed a share of the spoils in the second half after PSG had taken the lead in the first.

PSG are still only three points off early leaders Marseille despite having just two Ligue 1 wins to their name, but the draw with Lyon was enough to force club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to deny suggestions that…

Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan fears Liverpool have an excellent chance of winning the title under his old boss Jurgen Klopp.

The pair won the 2011-12 Bundesliga crown together – the second league championship of Klopp s tenure – but now reside in opposing camps as City sit two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Asked about Klopp s influence at Anfield, Germany international Gundogan was effusive in his praise.

It reminds me of the start in Dortmund, especially regarding the types of players. It s kind of similar, he said in quotes reported by Bild. Liverpool has the big advantage of not having to play during the weeks [in Europe].

Klopp has the gift to fascinate a team and to push them. The way they are playing right now, th…

Juventus may not be leading the way in Serie A but they continue to be the benchmark in Italian football, according to Inter boss Antonio Conte.

Juve have secured the title for nine successive seasons in the top flight but face a battle to stretch that streak into double figures under Andrea Pirlo s leadership.

Milan lead the way in the table having lost just once in 17 league games so far, while Inter and Roma also sit above the reigning champions in the table.

We know Juventus are a benchmark. They are the side we must look to, one that have dominated in Italy, he told the media ahead of Sunday s showdown with Juventus at San Siro.

They are a …

Claudio Ranieri declared Fulham s chances of Premier League survival alive after a stunning 4-2 comeback win at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Glenn Murray struck twice in the opening 17 minutes to leave Fulham looking down and out, but Ranieri s tinkering turned the game back in his side s favour.

Luciano Vietto then replaced Andre Schurrle at half-time, but it was Aleksandar Mitrovic who provided the spark of inspiration, setting up Calum Chambers for a fine volley in the 47th minute.

Mitrovic then showed his desire to beat Brighton s static defence to a…
