Reports suggest Pochettino is the Villa owners’ preferred candidate to replace Gerrard, who was sacked soon after his side’s 3-0 defeat to Fulham on Thursday despite awkwardly insisting he was a “fighter” in his post-match interview.

The East Westphalians lost their table-topping clash with FC Schalke 04, who have already qualified for the Final Round of the German Championship, 3-0.

Arminia will be away to Borussia Mönchengladbach at the weekend, while Borussia Dortmund will visit relegation-embattled FC Hennef 05 and Leverkusen will face Duisburg.

SV Werder will host VfL Bochum at the wohninvest WESERSTADION on Saturday (15:30 CET). In terms of the statistics, there is a lot to suggest that the points will stay in Bremen, but the Green-Whites cannot and won’t rest on their past successes. Ole Werner expects an intense and fast-paced encounter with the team currently 16th in the table, in which the most important thing will be to defend well. “In addition, it will be crucial to find options quickly when in possession,” said Werder’s head coach.

Steven Skrzybski has been forced to watch on in recent weeks. Now the attacker is fit again and is raring to make his first-team debut. In an interview with schalke04.de, the 25-year-old speaks about his recovery from injury, his desire to score another goal at the VELTINS-Arena soon and a surprise encounter with his former club.

The morning started with a short running session for three groups of players under a cloudy sky in Spain. The remaining players were biking inside the hotel. Arne Maier, who celebrated his 24th birthday today, was also serenaded by his teammates at lunch.

Today, FC Barcelona learned what he meant. The so-called fortress of the Camp Nou suffered in silence as Bayern systematically dismantled Xavi’s setup and scored three unanswered goals while cruising to an easy victory. This defeat is Barcelona’s sixth consecutive loss to Bayern in the Champions League and sees them crash out of the competition altogether. Well, technically Inter Milan did that with their win over Plzen, but let’s ignore that for now.

Jean-Paul Boëtius is well known for his smile and joyful character, but our midfielder suffered a shock at the end of September when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, just a few weeks after Hertha teammate Marco Richter. However, the 28-year-old approached the challenge full of optimism. “I received a lot of messages and loads of support from the club – that was a real help and helped me stay calm throughout,” said Djanga, who recently returned to action. As well as a look back over the past few weeks, our number 10 also speaks to herthabsc.de about the upcoming game against FC Bayern Munich (05/11/22, 15:30 CET). “If we can bring our fighting spirit onto the pitch as a team, we’re hard for any team to beat,” said Boëtius, who discussed his recovery, emotions and excitement ahead of the game against Bayern in his first interview since his diagnosis.

All food at the kiosks in the PreZero Arena will become 30 cents more expensive for the home game against Borussia Dortmund, but the drinks prices will remain stable for the time being. “Once again, we will cover the additional costs for all drinks for both the match against Borussia Dortmund and Hertha BSC. Because we need the full support of our fans and believe we’re sending a positive signal by doing this,” Denni Strich continued.
