Pavlovic discusses derby importance, Inter's 'favourites' tag, Allegri's work and facing Leao

It'll be a tough match. Inter are ahead in the table and will probably play with less pressure than us. But the derby is a game in itself: each match is different. I expect a very competitive game and I hope we can win.

We had to win this match and we won. Against Inter it will be a different game, I wouldn't say decisive, but the derby is always a challenge everyone feels. I ask my teammates to give their all and take it personally because it's a do-or-die match.

'I had to put everyone on edge' - how managers make an impact

For me, preparation for any game always started two hours after the one I had just managed. My drive home to the south coast on a Saturday night after a game could take three hours or more, and much of that would be spent on the phone while I had precious quiet time. When I was at Stoke City, my chairman Peter Coates would always speak to me then if we lost. If we'd won, he never bothered, knowing I wouldn't need comforting.

Third time's a charm? RB Leipzig star Benjamin Henrichs says squad is better prepared for Bayern Munich now

Perhaps we're a bit better prepared for our opponents this time around. We were very dominant in the first half and saw what we were capable of. In the second half, Bayern's quality became evident. The lesson is that when we create chances as well as we did in the first half, we need to be more clinical in front of goal.

Arne Slot makes alarming claim about Liverpool's pre-match preparations this season

How many games have we played this season? Probably around 30. I think about 28 of my pre-match meetings I could just throw in the bin, Slot said. I think only once or twice the team did what they did the 20 weeks before. Arsenal was one of them. But Barnsley always plays a 4-3-3 and today decided to go with five, which I can completely understand, which I would have done

Algeria v DR Congo: Line-ups, stats and preview

DR Congo were able to achieve positive results, and they are used to facing opponents of this kind. We have to be careful, but we have to focus on ourselves. Of course they have a strong team collectively, they have special individuals, and they play with connected lines. They do not give up for 90 minutes, but there are areas that we have to exploit.
