It's almost time.

If Sergio Aguero retires on Wednesday, he will bring the curtain down on a career in which he scored 184 goals in 275 Premier League games for Manchester City.

The Argentine's predatory instincts powered City to five league titles during his 10-year stint at the Etihad Stadium.

But where did Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Gary Lineker place Aguero in their list of the Premier League's greatest goalscorers?

Listen to the podcast here.

Norwich City

Norwich boss Dean Smith was in charge of Aston Villa just over a month ago.

So you'd think there'd be plenty of meeting his former employers and his boyhood club. Straight bat time.

“It’s just the next game," Smith said.

"I was manager there a month ago, but not anymore. I move on very quickly and am enjoying life at Norwich. I've got to get three points."

"It’s a crucial period coming up. You can pick up points very quickly, as others can around you. Our performances are moving in the right direction so we just need the results now.”

The Canaries are currently bottom of the Premier League but only three points from safety.

Norwich City

Norwich boss Dean Smith starts by saying that Greek winger Christos Tzolis is the club's one "confirmed Covid case so he's isolating. Other than that, we’re fine at the moment.”

One more Premier League manager to hear from before we head over to Switzerland.

And it's sort of on the way from our base in Media City in Salford. Norwich boss Dean Smith's news conference is under way.

Tom: Real Madrid vs Ajax in 2019 has to be one of the greatest Champions League performances of all time? Dusan Tadic was just phenomenal that night and maybe one of the best teams (Ajax 18-19) not to win the tournament.

Alf: Well that's easy. Fernando Torres making Gary Neville howl in the Nou Camp 2012.

Leeds United

According to The Athletic, external, Leeds and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips is expected to be sidelined for "at least two months" after undergoing hamstring surgery.

Phillips picked up the injury in Leeds' 2-2 draw with Brentford on 5 December.

There's also been a suggestion that the 26-year-old may have a longstanding shoulder issue addressed during that time.

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is conducting his news conference around 12:30 GMT, so no doubt Phillips' fitness will be on the agenda.

Mike: Gareth Bale's two goals, including that goal, in the Champions League final following much derision from Zidane and the Real Madrid fans is up there for me.

Nick: Liverpool's 4-2 win over Arsenal in 2008. A world class finish from Torres, Walcott running the full length of the pitch to set up Adebayor, Babel taking the roof off with a last gasp breakaway goal. Another famous European night at Anfield.

During his time as a Manchester City player Sergio Aguero made Garth Crooks' team of the week a fair few times.

But this is how Garth's side from the weekend looked. You happy with those? Feel free to make your own selections towards the bottom of the article.

Oh my.

Talking of which... There are going to be some superb players and potentially great ties when the Champions League hits the last 16.

But which rivalries, classic matches and special moments have you most enjoyed during the knockout stages in the Champions League era?

Ronaldo's (not Cristiano) hat-trick for Real Madrid against Manchester United is right up there for me. They lost the match 4-3 but still progressed.

The Robert Lewandowski masterclass for Borussia Dortmund, as they thrashed Real Madrid 4-1 in semi-final first-leg victory was a brilliant as well.

Manchester United and Paris St-Germain could potentially meet in the last 16 of the Champions League.

So that would mean Cristiano Ronaldo v Lionel Messi, part 123.

Only joking but who wouldn't want to see the two players, widely regarded as the greatest of their generation, facing off once more?

All will be revealed just after 11:00 GMT.

The best penalty taker in the world no less. According to Thomas Frank.

Brentford

Brentford have been hit by Covid-19 themselves, with striker Ivan Toney and defender Ethan Pinnock both missing games after testing positive.

Top scorer Toney is due out of isolation ahead of Tuesday's game with United and Thomas Frank said he was optimistic the 25-year-old could feature, but Pinnock is expected to miss out.

"Hopefully Ivan is available," he said.

"We will find out later today. I don't think it benefitted his fitness over the last 10 days but it's a big boost if he's available.

"Let's see tomorrow if we will start him or he comes off the bench."

Brentford

A little bit more from Thomas Frank on the Premier League's Covid issues after Tottenham's game with Brighton, due to be played yesterday, was postponed after an outbreak at the London club.

"It's a very tricky situation," he said.

"I think it's very important the Premier League and all of us are following normal society rules and restrictions. That's very important.

"And then if we can make it very clear what the rules are to cancel a game that would be good.

"But I think all that is just speculation and taking the focus away from what we all want and that is what's happening on the pitch."

Brentford

Eight Premier League managers are up in front of the press today, starting with Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

The Dane says he expects for Tuesday's game with Manchester United to go ahead but wants more clarity on rules regarding Covid-19 postponements.

United have reported a small number of positive lateral flow tests within their squad, with the players and staff involved sent home before training on Sunday.

"We are planning to play the game," said Frank said.

"That's what we are focusing on. We can't control anything else.

"I think it needs to be a significant amount of Covid cases before the game can be cancelled but to be fair I'm a little bit in doubt when it is enough."

Another year on the clock for former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla.

As a total aside to that last entry, when's the last time anyone saw Jurgen Klopp or Thomas Tuchel without a hat on?

It's that time of the year again when the fixture list is chokka and the likes of Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp expresses his concerns over the festive schedule.

But which teams are going to be busier than others?

Relegation battlers Newcastle and Arsenal and Manchester City face some of the shortest turnarounds between matches, while Liverpool and Wolves have some of the longest.
