SO VENNY, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF FIFA 19? VENNY SAYS: “Originally I wasn’t a fan because it took me a while to get used to it, but I’m really enjoying it now – and I feel like I’ve got a good understanding of the game. Usually I pick it up straight away, but shooting has been tricky to get used to on FIFA 19. I really like Timed Finishing, but it’s not perfect yet!” WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE FOR PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH TIMED FINISHING? VENNY SAYS: “There’s a skill game called Bronze Shooting, where you just keep taking shots at the keeper. Try different things, practise trying to time them and work out what suits different positions. This is the first year I’ve really used training drills, but…

20 RAPHAEL GUERREIRO B.DORTMUND Guerreiro is the definition of a ‘supersub’! He came off the bench v Atletico Madrid with 27 minutes left to play and with the score at 1-0, but just ten mins later he’d doubled their lead! With another left-footed strike before the game’s final whistle, he currently averages a 2018-19 Champo League goal every 14 minutes!

United might be off the pace in the title race, but that won’t stop Jose Mourinho’s team from trying to derail City’s attempts to retain the Prem! The men in red were the only team to win at the Etihad last season, and neither side has won a Prem Manchester Derby at home for the last three seasons, but that won’t stop City being favourites! WATCH IT… Sunday November 11 4.30pm PAUL POGBA Pogba had a big say on both of the derbies last season, but in very different ways. In the first clash at Old Trafford, United badly missed the suspended midfielder in a 2-1 defeat, but at the Etihad he scored twice as…

M ANAGER MIX-UP Real pretty much destroyed Spain’s World Cup hopes by poaching their manager on the eve of the tournament, but that decision didn’t pay off! Julen Lopetegui didn’t get to grips with Madrid’s dressing room, and lasted just 139 days in charge of Los Blancos! Antonio Conte is one of the gaffers linked with getting the new job... NO RONALDO REPL ACEMENT After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus after the World Cup, we thought another huge name Galactico would join the club, but instead they bought wonderkid Vinicius Junior and re-signed ex-striker Mariano Diaz. After 10 La Liga games, they’d played just over 200 minutes between them, and failed to score a goal! MISFIRING STRIKERS Real’s attackers have underperformed massively this season, and set an awful new record in…
