U.K.-based Rezolve AI Limited’s ($RZLV) stock was soaring more than 18 times its average volume on Tuesday, attracting retail attention. The stock opened Tuesday’s session at $2.17, up from the previous session’s close of $2.13, and moved steadily higher. It has so far traded in a $2.17 to $4.00 range. Tuesday’s rally came amid a lack of any meaningful catalyst. Rezolve offers a retail and engagement technology solution that acts as an instant tool for mobile devices. Last Thursday, the company said it is actively participating in initiatives to align with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) set up by the incoming administration under President-elect Donald Trump. The company said its solutions are well-positioned to support DOGE’s goals. Its tools streamline operations for retailers and optimize staffing by automating routine tasks, allowing human resources to focus on higher-value responsibilities. Rezolve AI is also striving to participate in the crypto rally by integrating the Tether Wallet Development Kit into its Brain Checkout platform, which will allow cryptocurrency transactions for everyday purchases. In late November, the company announced strategic reseller partnerships with Microsoft Corp. ($MSFT) and Alphabet, Inc.’s ($GOOGL) ($GOOG) Google for its conversational AI solutions. These tech giants have committed to promoting the company’s AI technologies through their sales channels. Rezolve AI went public through the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) route by merging with the blank-cheque company Armada Acquisition. Its shares were listed on the Nasdaq on Aug. 16. Sentiment toward Rezolve AI stock turned ‘ extremely bullish’ (81/100) on Stocktwits, improving from the ‘neutral’ mood seen a day ago. The sharp spike in the stock set off retail chatter, which grew to ‘high’ levels. A Stocktwits platform user said they will hold the stock eyeing a break above $8 level, citing a slew of catalysts. A message by another user suggests the stock was likely being pumped up. At last check, Rezolve AI stock was up 72.30% at $3.67, while it has plunged about 80% since its mid-August listing.

There is more rain in the next few days, but this time it won’t be the bomb cyclone variety. Doug Boushey, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Eureka, said the agency doesn’t believe “it’s going to be a major hydrological event for us.” There could be up to two or three inches of rain in coastal areas. But Boushey said the majority of the rain would likely fall in Del Norte County. “Some rain continues to fall and it’s too early to know the full impacts of our triple whammy, but early assessments are we ducked disaster,” Lori Dengler wrote in her column this week. “... as bad as the headlines made it appear, Humboldt and Del Norte counties appear to have escaped major damage.” There will be some high winds in the coming days. “We think we’re going to actually see some winds up to 50 miles an hour or so, up across mostly the interior mountains, and then perhaps run around the coastal headlands,” Boushey said. Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, local residents saw the local rivers subsiding from flood stages. Boushey said the Eel River remained at monitor stage On Thursday afternoon, evacuation warnings and orders were issued for areas along flood-prone rivers. And while rivers were receding, evacuation orders were lifted and warnings remained in several areas. The flood warning was lifted Saturday morning. But other warnings remain in place: a wind advisory was under consideration Saturday and there was a gale watch on the waters off the coast of Humboldt County. And there will be a gale warning through Sunday evening on both the inner and outer waters with gusts as high as 50 miles per hour. On Saturday, there were at least 3,000 outages around the county. with the largest — estimated at around 2,350 customers — in the Rio Dell area along U.S. Highway 101. The outage map reported at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday did not have an estimated time of restoration. “This is an unplanned outage due to a storm. When able, our crews will inspect and make repairs,” the outage map stated Saturday afternoon. Another outage affecting around 130 customers in the Petrolia area was into its second day of no power, although it was expected to be restored by Saturday night. Next week, there could be some snow at higher elevations — such as along state Route 299 — but it should be drier through the holiday along the coast.

(The Center Square) – The House is set to vote on the compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act which authorizes nearly $900 billion to support U.S. military service members, infrastructure, and defense capabilities during the 2025 fiscal year. The 1,813-page document released Saturday by the Senate and House Armed Services Committees outlines U.S. defense policy priorities and their costs for 2025. Most of the proposed funds, $849.9 billion out of the $895.2 billion topline, would go to programs within the Department of Defense. Though the result of a bipartisan compromise, some provisions remain a point of contention, including a Republican addition that prohibits the military’s health program from covering any gender dysphoria treatments on minors that could "result in sterilization.” Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee Adam Smith, D-Wash., has urged House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to “abandon” the provision and allow the House to bring forward a bill that “doesn’t attack the transgender community.” Johnson has argued that the current NDAA will “restore our focus on military lethality and to end the radical woke ideology being imposed on our military.” If the legislation passes, junior enlisted service members would receive a historic 14.5% pay raise and all other service members a 4.5% basic pay raise. The NDAA plan would also address multiple quality of life issues for service members, highlighted in a September report from the Government Accountability Office that revealed unsanitary and rundown living conditions for military personnel. It authorizes $2.7 billion to improve housing conditions, build more housing, and increase oversight. It also increases healthcare access and childcare services for military members by cutting red tape and approving $176 million for the construction of new childcare centers and $110 million for the construction of new schools. “Funding our military is one of Congress' most important responsibilities,” House Foreign Affairs Committee Majority Chairman, Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said on X. “Our brave men and women in uniform and their spouses allow us to enjoy the freedoms we have today. They deserve every benefit in this bill.” The legislation authorizes hundreds of billions in defense-related infrastructure and technology investments, including approximately $17.5 billion for military base or industrial construction projects; $33.5 billion to build seven battle force ships; and more than $161 billion for innovation and technology research and related programs. Nearly $16 billion would go to the Pacific Deterrence Initiative, funding new technologies like hypersonic weapons and AI to deter the Chinese Communist Party and mitigate espionage and cybersecurity risks. Anti-terrorism initiatives in the Middle East and overseas U.S. military construction projects countering North Korea and Russia would also receive funding, as well as a U.S.-Israel missile defense program and the Taiwan Security Cooperation Initiative. “We remain determined to confront increasingly hostile threats from Communist China, Russia, and Iran, and this legislation provides our military with the tools they need to deter our enemies,” Johnson said in a statement. “The safety and security of the American people is top priority, and this bill ensures our military has the resources and capabilities needed to remain the most powerful force in the world.” U.S. border security receives a relatively small portion of funds from the NDAA, with $90 million authorized for the construction of a new command and control facility at the U.S.-Mexico border and a $10 million increase in funding for the DOD’s counternarcotics activities. The House Rules Committee is set to vote Monday afternoon on advancing the measure to the House floor, where it can pass with a majority vote. The Senate must vote on it by the end of the month for it to take effect.
They know how to boo at Goodison Park. When they want to, they do it properly. With real gusto and genuine anger. Not this time, though. At the final whistle of Everton ’s 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest , they booed, sure. But it felt like their heart wasn’t in it. Unhappy, but not furious. Maybe it’s because the grimness had been drawn out, a slow and flat sigh of a performance, in which their first effort on target came in the 81st minute. There were a lot of empty seats by the time the final whistle blew, but it’s hard to pinpoint the moment when everyone gave up. Maybe it was when James Tarkowski wearily moved into the optimal position to aimlessly hoof the ball forward for what felt like the billionth time. Advertisement The problem is there’s not much to get enthused about either way. Everton are in 16th place, having won only three times all season. Only Southampton have scored fewer goals than them. There have been 11 0-0 draws in the Premier League so far this season: Everton have played in five of them. That, clearly, is bad, but it’s not so bad that their fans can even feel pure despair. They’re (probably) competent enough to avoid relegation. There’s the promise of results like the previous three games, creditable draws against Arsenal , Chelsea and Manchester City . And losing to Forest, the team that finished the afternoon in second place, is not cause for excessive woe. But ennui hangs over Goodison. After starting the season with four defeats, in the 14 games since they’ve won three, lost three and drawn the rest with a goal difference of zero. Even their most unambiguous recent success, a 4-0 home win against Wolves , came immediately after a 4-0 away defeat to Manchester United , two results that neatly cancel each other out. On the pH scale, Everton would be neutral; a team in an extreme state of ‘just existing’; not definitively bad, having not been beaten by Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in consecutive games, but not, overall, good. All of which leads us back to Sean Dyche. It’s impossible not to feel some sympathy for him. Here is a manager who is objectively good at what he does, who has a particular style and was hired two years ago to bring some sort of order to a club that is frequently a stranger to that sort of stability. He kept Everton up in his first season, after arriving with them second bottom of the table, and he kept them up in his second season, comfortably, despite having eight points deducted for PSR breaches. The football was not attractive, but a) you don’t expect much else from a Dyche team, and b) given the circumstances, that didn’t really matter. Everton needed solidity, predictability, survival. They needed Dyche, but the question now is whether they still do. Advertisement Dyche is now floating in a sort of limbo state between a variety of factors, including but not limited to: what was expected of him when he arrived two years ago, his own objectives, his expiring contract (it’s up in the summer), fan expectations, a need to fix a defence which let in 13 goals in their first four league games balanced with a relatively limited group of players, in attack at least. GO DEEPER Goodison Park is teetering and tetchy - pressure is building on Dyche And, most importantly of all, there are Everton’s new owners . While the takeover was going through, Dyche’s position was always going to be secure, but now the Friedkin Group is in place, the inevitable assumption is that a change will be made. After the game, Dyche was asked if he felt optimistic, about things on and off the pitch. “I’m always an optimist,” he told the media. “You have to be here. The new owners are speaking about stability, and time — they’re aware it’s a challenging situation to build and to grow.” But if the new owners were watching this game, they wouldn’t have seen anything to persuade them to keep Dyche beyond the end of the season. It was bleak football, ponderous and meek, with none of the defensive solidity that has seen them keep five clean sheets in their previous seven games. This wasn’t typical of Everton. The low point was the second goal, with at least three defenders leaving a short pass to each other to deal with, meaning Forest didn’t even have to pounce on the error, just casually collect the loose ball for Morgan Gibbs-White to score. Say what you will about Dyche’s teams, but they’re rarely that passive. But there are other problems beyond just this performance. Dyche dropped Dominic Calvert-Lewin Forest in favour of Armando Broja , which was hardly a surprise: Calvert-Lewin has scored just two goals all season and no other forward in the Premier League has underperformed their expected goals as drastically as him. Broja was lively and created chances, but was never actively threatening, and it’s hard to blame him. He was badly isolated, which in a 4-5-1 system where the most advanced midfielder is Abdoulaye Doucoure , isn’t a surprise. There was a sense that, with the team set up like this, you could play who you liked up top — Broja, Calvert-Lewin, Erling Haaland , prime-era Ronaldo — and the result would be the same. Advertisement Dyche might argue that he has achieved enough doing one job — keeping Everton’s collective head above the surface while the ship was taking on water — to earn a shot at another, to take them beyond mere survival when the circumstances are different. He might argue that it would be unfair not to even give him a chance. So it all comes down to what the new owners want. Will they trust Dyche enough to change his ways and aim for something more? Will they look at the cautionary tale of West Ham , who ditched the sure thing of David Moyes in the hope of a more exciting future that hasn’t arrived? Or will they feel that the only way to lift the ennui is to bring in someone new? Whatever happens, you just hope the future is just a little more exciting for the fans who could barely bring themselves to boo on Sunday.

(Bloomberg) -- Rupert Murdoch was unsuccessful in his effort to change his family trust and hand sole control of his media empire to his eldest son, the New York Times reported on Monday. The Reno, Nevada, probate commissioner hearing the case rendered a verdict on Saturday, the paper reported, citing a sealed document saying that the elder Murdoch had acted in “bad faith” when he tried to change terms of an irrevocable trust to leave Lachlan Murdoch in charge. Spokespeople for the Murdochs didn’t immediately return requests for comment. An attorney for Rupert Murdoch told the Times he intends to appeal the ruling. The case weighed heavily on the future of some of the highest-profile media properties in the world. Through a family trust, Murdoch, 93, owns about 40% of the voting stock in both Fox Corp., the parent of Fox News, and News Corp., which counts the Wall Street Journal and the Times of London among its many holdings. Upon Murdoch’s death, control of the trust was to be split among his four oldest kids. Instead, he sought to give voting power to Lachlan, who serves as chief executive officer of Fox and chairman of News Corp. The case was heard in probate court, which manages legal proceedings around the transfer of property after a person’s death, and wasn’t open to the public. News outlets, including the New York Times Co. and CNN, unsuccessfully sought to open up the proceedings. A Nevada probate commissioner determined in June that Murdoch could change the trust as long as he was doing so in good faith and in the best interest of his heirs. Murdoch argued that the change would benefit all six of his children because it would prevent Lachlan’s more politically liberal siblings — Prudence, Elisabeth and James — from making Fox News more moderate, thus hurting its value as a conservative media brand. The trio chose to share legal counsel and take their father to court in a trial that began Sept. 16, arguing that the change violates the trust’s original conditions and that they would be wrongfully disenfranchised. Murdoch hired his own team of lawyers, including former US Attorney General William Barr, who was spotted at the Reno courthouse as Murdoch’s team emerged from a fleet of SUVs. Nevada’s lack of income and inheritance taxes, as well as its confidentiality protections have made it a top venue for family trust management. Picking Reno over the bustling hub of Las Vegas added another layer of privacy to the closed-door proceedings, according to Nevada probate lawyer Elyse Tyrell.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams faced fourth-and-5 at the Buffalo 35 with a 38-35 lead and just under four minutes to play Sunday in their high-octane showdown with the Bills. Sean McVay is often a conservative coach, and it would not have been surprising to see him try a long field goal, or even punt. He kept his offense on the field, and Matthew Stafford calmly went through his progression before finding for an 11-yard gain that played a major role in the Rams’ ability to hold on for a season-altering, . “We felt like we needed to make it a two-possession game,” McVay said Monday. “They were rolling. We talked about aggressively going to win that game. ... It was just a reflection of the confidence in that group and what we felt like we needed to do to be able to win the game.” The Rams offense has earned the confidence McVay showed in it at that crucial moment. That unit hasn’t always been good this season, entering last weekend rated just 18th in the league, but the Rams finally are mostly healthy heading down the stretch — and Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams are again playing at last season’s Pro Bowl level. That was bad news for Buffalo, and it could mean trouble for the rest of the NFC if the Rams (7-6) can keep scoring like this. Los Angeles will hope to keep this offensive momentum on a short week heading to on Thursday night. Nacua said it was “fantastic being able to feel like, man, this is what it feels like when the Rams are moving and connecting on all cylinders.” Los Angeles had six scoring drives of at least 65 yards while racking up 457 yards against Buffalo. Stafford had a season-high 320 yards passing, while Nacua had another spectacular game with 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns along with 16 yards rushing and another TD on five carries. Incredibly, it was the Rams’ first 40-point game with Stafford behind center. Thanks to that stellar offensive performance, the Rams are above .500 for the first time all season and just one game back of Seattle (8-5) in the NFC West after winning six of their past eight games. A team that appeared to be headed for a grim season after a 1-4 start is still firmly in the playoff race, also trailing Washington (8-5) by just one game for the final wild-card spot. “It’s cool to be able to play meaningful football in December,” said McVay, who led the Rams to five playoff berths in his first seven seasons. “You never take that for granted.” What’s working The offense hummed largely because it went 11 of 15 on third downs. That’s the Rams’ highest success rate in a game since 2001 — and don’t forget that crucial fourth down conversion, either. What needs help Few teams can stop Josh Allen, but the Rams’ defense didn’t come close. The defensive backs particularly struggled, from Darious Williams getting beaten repeatedly in coverage to Quentin Lake’s 34-yard pass-interference penalty in the final moments. Two weeks after Philadelphia dropped 481 yards at SoFi Stadium, Buffalo had 445 to push the Rams down to 26th in total defense entering Monday. Stock up The Rams’ offensive line has struggled mightily at times this season, but it allowed no sacks and just three hits on Stafford while clearing the way for 137 yards rushing. With full health, the line is no longer a liability. Stock down Edge rusher Byron Young had a rough outing that included two penalties on Buffalo’s first drive — an egregious late hit on Allen and a defensive offside that negated a 2-yard Bills loss on second down from the LA 1. The Rams’ overall defensive discipline was repeatedly poor, and it cost them. Injuries CB Cobie Durant has a bruised lung, McVay revealed Monday. The Rams are uncertain whether it will prevent him from playing Thursday. Durant has started all 13 games this season. ... WR Demarcus Robinson sprained his shoulder against Buffalo, but kept playing. Key number 1 — The numbers of NFL games played with two teams scoring at least 40 points and making no turnovers. The Rams and Bills made history. Next steps The 49ers haven’t been this vulnerable in four years, but Kyle Shanahan has had McVay’s number throughout their careers — notwithstanding in September when both teams’ top offensive playmakers were all injured. ___ AP NFL:The Centre for Ageing Better said data analysed on its behalf suggested more than a fifth of people in this age group are living in a poor-quality home that could be making their existing health condition worse. It said people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, those living in London and those who have a serious health condition or disability are more likely to be affected. Data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing covering 2022/23 was analysed by the National Centre for Social Research on behalf of the charity. It found an estimated 4.5 million people aged 50 or older in England with a health condition aggravated by the cold are living in a home with one or more serious problems. Some 2.8 million were aged between 50 and 70, while 1.7 million were aged 70 and older. Health conditions included respiratory diseases, congestive heart failure, heart disease and lung conditions, including asthma. Housing problems identified in the research included damp, water leaks, bad condensation, electrical or plumbing problems, rot and decay. While some 2.2 million people over 50 with health and housing problems owned their home outright, the biggest proportion of people (51%) with such issues lived in rented accommodation. The charity said older renters with a health condition were up to three times more likely to have five or more issues with their home than someone in the same age group who owns their home. Those with a health condition that can be affected by poor housing who had a significant issue in their homes were most likely to live in London (52%) followed by the North East (35%) and the North West (35%), the West Midlands and the East of England (both on 28%), and the South West (27%). Almost half (46%) of people aged 50 and above from black and minority ethnic backgrounds with one of the health conditions had at least one problem with their home, which the charity said amounted to almost 500,000 people. Among white people in this age group it was just under one in three (32%). The research also suggested people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds living with a health condition were also more than twice as likely to have five or more issues with their housing compared with their white counterparts – 15% compared with 6%. Dr Carole Easton, the charity’s chief executive, said not only does the research show the difficulties faced by those living in poor housing, but it is also “very bad news” for both the economy and the NHS. She said: “Our latest research shows that our poor-quality housing crisis is putting people with health conditions in their 50s, 60s and beyond, in harm’s way. “This is obviously terrible for those individuals who live in homes that carry a very real risk of making them sick, particularly when winter comes around. “But it is also very bad news for the country. Older workers living in homes that are making their health conditions worse are going to be less likely to be able to work and help grow the economy. “Older people whose serious health conditions are made worse by their homes will require treatment, putting additional winter pressures on our health system. “All could be averted if we tackled poor-quality housing with the urgency and priority it demands.” Holly Holder, deputy director for homes at the charity, said the Government must “fix this hidden housing crisis by delivering a national strategy to tackle poor quality housing across all tenures and committing to halving the number of non-decent homes over the next decade”. She added: “No-one should have to live in a home that damages their health, yet it is the norm for far too many people in England today. “By failing to address poor-quality homes we are limiting the lives of some of the country’s poorest and most vulnerable people. “Our new analysis shows that the combination of health and house problems are most likely to impact groups of people who are already disadvantaged by multiple health and wealth inequalities.” A Government spokesperson said: “Despite the challenging inheritance faced by this Government, through our Plan for Change we’re taking action to improve housing conditions across all tenures and ensure homes are decent, safe and warm – especially for the most vulnerable. “We’re consulting on reforms to the Decent Homes Standard next year to improve the quality of social and privately rented housing, and introducing Awaab’s Law to both sectors to tackle damp, dangerous and cold conditions for all renters in England. “Our warm homes plan will also help people find ways to save money on energy bills and deliver cleaner heating, with up to 300,000 households to benefit from upgrades next year.”

Saudi Arabia and United States may Part ways over Security AgreementThe UEFA Champions League returns for one final round of matches before the new year, with much at stake for several European heavy-hitters. While Liverpool can extend their stay atop the league phase table in Tuesday's game at Girona, there will be several games between teams inside the top eight, including Barcelona's trip to Borussia Dortmund and Inter's journey to Bayer Leverkusen. Giants like Manchester City, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also have a chance to correct course on their underwhelming Champions League games with some pivotal games this week. Here's what the CBS Sports team predicts will take place during another consequential week in the Champions League. Don't miss any of the Champions League. As always, you can catch all of our coverage across Paramount+ , CBS Sports Network and CBS Sports Golazo Network all season long. Here are our expert picks for this matchday: Tuesday Game of the day: Leverkusen vs. Inter Player to watch: Stefan de Vrij – Inter's Champions League defense can't be this good, can it? Not a goal conceded through five matches, a fixture list that encompasses England's top two last season and a Leipzig side not short on attacking talent either. If this defensive magic is going to continue against Leverkusen, watch for central centerback De Vrij to excel. - - James Benge Man of the match: Nicolo Barella – Inter have been one of the best teams this season, partially thanks to the performances of Italian midfielder Nicolo Barella who is yet to score his first goal in the UEFA Champions League. Inter want to confirm themselves at the top spots of the table as they are only two points away from Liverpool. He can make all the difference -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Leverkusen 1, Inter 1 -- This one features two of the current top eight with the Italians unbeaten so far and likely to stay that way. The Germans have already lost but they do remain competitive and have scored more than Tuesday's visitors to date. Do not be surprised if it finishes level in a score draw or a narrow home win. -- Jonathan Johnson Best bet: Hakan Calhanoglu to have 1+ shot on target (+110) – This is a match where the top defenses in Champions League will meet and it could be defined by set pieces. With maximizing those opportunities, that's when Calhanoglu, a free kick and long-shot artist comes into focus. He may be more likely to end up with an assist than a goal but that doesn't mean that his presence won't be felt in the center of the park during this clash. -- Chuck Booth Atalanta vs. Real Madrid Player to watch: Jude Bellingham – The sheer volume of shots isn't back to where it was last season and perhaps it never will be in a team with Kylian Mbappe. Bellingham, however, has five goals in as many La Liga games after starting the campaign scoreless. The England international lives for the biggest occasions and this is about as high stakes as the league phase was ever supposed to get for Real Madrid. - - James Benge Man of the match: Ademola Lookman – The Nigerian striker, after scoring three goals in the 2024 UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, started the new season with the same spirit as he already scored eight goals in 12 Serie A games and also two goals in four Champions League matches so far. -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Atalanta 1, Real 2 -- The defending champions need to get back to winning ways in the Champions League and fast. Carlo Ancelotti's men already saw off the Italians in the UEFA Super Cup but expect this encounter to be a little closer with Los Blancos just about edging it in a game where both sides find the back of the net. -- Jonathan Johnson Best bet: Kylian Mbappe to score (+150): Atalanta's defense has been good but even while not hitting top form for Real Madrid, Mbappe has 11 goals in all competitions. Only one of those has come in Champions League play so far as even penalties aren't automatic for Mbappe. But, with three goals in his last five matches, there's enough of an opportunity for him to find the back of the net. If you'd prefer less risk, he's only -130 to put two shots on target but it's worth going for the goal at a number like this. -- Chuck Booth Wednesday Game of the day: Juventus vs. Man City Player to watch: Kevin De Bruyne – The Belgian's return to the City starting XI may or may not have simply fixed everything – the jury is out after more dropped points against Crystal Palace – but if anyone is going to liven up what threatens to be a deeply dull affair, it will be De Bruyne. - - James Benge Man of the match: Ilkay Gundogan – Despite the difficult moment Pep Guardiola's Manchester City are facing, Gundogan is the player that the Spanish manager needs most right now due to his experience in the tournament. Juventus are not living their best moment as well, and Gundogan can create a lot of problems for the Vecchia Signora's defense. -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Juve 1, City 1 -- Pep Guardiola's side continue to battle through poor form and are making life tough for themselves in both the Premier League as well as the Champions League. Thiago Motta's Italians are similarly placed and do not see too many goals in their games so expect a fairly low-scoring affair which either side could sneak by a single goal. -- Jonathan Johnson Best bet: Under 2.5 goals (-120): I will not bet goals in games involving Juventus. I will not bet goals in games involving Juventus. I ... you get the idea. Even without Bremer, this Juventus side just doesn't concede under Thiago Motta and even facing whatever version of City this is, it won't change. It doesn't hurt to sprinkle a draw here at +240 but the under is a bit safer. -- Chuck Booth Barcelona vs. Dortmund Player to watch: Robert Lewandowski – It has to be him, doesn't it? Back at the Westfalenstadion, reunited with the fans who once adored him but now must dread his presence on the opposition. In 26 games against Dortmund, Lewandowski has 27 goals, but so far he has yet to meet them in a Barcelona shirt. Given his recent form, you'd back him to add to that tally once more. - - James Benge Man of the match: Raphinha – The Brazilian winger has been great this season and scored five goals in the first five Champions League matches, and 11 in 17 LaLiga games. He's probably the best player so far for the side coached by Hansi Flick, who is making his return to Germany on Wednesday. -- Francesco Porzio Prediction: Dortmund 1, Barcelona 1 -- These two sides are neck and neck coming into this round of games with the Catalan giants slightly ahead of the Germans due to goal difference despite both posting four wins and one loss. Do not be surprised if this one finishes level and both sides get their first draw of the European campaign although Barca are the most likely to edge it if one side does come out on top. -- Jonathan Johnson Best bet: Both teams to score (-110): Barcelona's high line has been effective at protecting their defense but when the offside trap doesn't work, it's far too easy to beat the defense from open play. Dortmund are an experienced team that can make Barcelona pay in attack and Barcelona's attack is too loaded not to score so it feels like a fair price to get both hitting the back of the net. -- Chuck Booth
