Live Europa League: Crystal Palace v Hoffenheim, Sparta Prague v Bournemouth
Europa League
Crystal Palace v Hoffenheim and Sparta Prague v Bournemouth were the fixtures being covered in live Europa League updates that kicked off from 5.45pm GMT on 5 November 2026.
At the time of publication none of the games being monitored had started. Coverage was delayed in part by a minute's silence for Jesus de Miguel, the Tenerife striker who died after an on-pitch collision at the weekend. 'Perusing the Sparta Prague team sheet,' writes Peter Oh, 'I can’t help but wonder, will the club from the Czech capital be able to stop the Cherries’ run of good form? Mbe Soh. Mbe Soh.'
