Carrarese have never beaten Sassuolo and probably never will.  •  Sassuolo's U20s playing a U19 side tells you everything about how deep their talent pool runs.  •  Arteta's told the redundancies are about success, which is a funny way of saying Arsenal couldn't afford to keep losing money.  •  Cagliari-Pescara stats columns exist to fill space when nothing interesting is happening.  •  Bristol City and Sheffield United will play the kind of match that makes you check your phone more than the scoreline.
