GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Rested Arizona faces reeling San Francisco on Sunday, and a Cardinals loss would be the biggest pratfall yet in a season already crowded with disappointment.The Cardinals (3-4-1) came out of their bye week insisting that their season still can be a success. But theyve lost one more game than they did all of last season and, after facing the 49ers (1-7), Arizona plays five of its final seven games on the road.I know people dont want to hear it and probably wont believe it, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said, but I like where we are. Were the underdog. Were going to come out fighting, and Im excited to watch us on Sunday nights and what happens these eight weeks.Arizona certainly wont be an underdog Sunday. The Cardinals are double-digit favorites against a San Francisco team that hasnt won since the season opener.I lost seven games when I was in college (in four seasons at Oregon), 49ers coach Chip Kelly said, but every one of those losses is a gut-wrenching one. Weve lost seven games this season, and every one of those losses is a gut-wrenching one.So, you approach it very clear, very kind of analytical, in terms of what you did well, and well continue to build upon that, and what we did poorly and find out the solution to correct it.Here are some things to look for when the 49ers face the Cardinals.IMPROVING OFFENSE VS. TOP DEFENSE: San Francisco ranks 29th in the NFL in offense (314.5 yards per game) and will go up against an Arizona defense that leads the league, allowing 297 yards per game. But the 49ers offense had its best day of the season last Sunday in a 41-23 home loss to New Orleans, rolling up 486 yards, most by a San Francisco team in three seasons. Colin Kaepernick, in his third start since taking over from Blaine Gabbert, threw for 393 yards, second most of his career.I think its getting back into a rhythm, Kaepernick said. It had been almost a full year since I had been back really in live action in games. So it just took a little bit to get comfortable really. Now that comfort is starting to come back.BAD SCENE: Kaepernick will be returning to the scene of what he called probably the worst game of my career. That was Sept. 27 of last year, when two of his first four passes were intercepted and returned for touchdowns, one by Justin Bethel, the other by Tyrann Mathieu.In all, Kaepernick was intercepted four times in a 47-7 Arizona romp.Its a good opportunity to go back, redeem myself and try to help this team get back on track, he said.RUNNING WILD: Arizona running back David Johnson should love this matchup. Not only are the 49ers last in the NFL in run defense, theyve allowed a 100-yard rusher for seven consecutive games. Thats the longest streak ever in the NFL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.Johnson ran for 157 yards and two TDs in a 33-21 Arizona victory at San Francisco on Oct. 8. Johnson leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage and was the NFC offensive player of the month for October.HARRIS CHANCE: San Francisco running back DuJuan Harris is making the most of his opportunity to play. He shuttled among eight teams since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2011, and bounced on and off the practice squad and active roster earlier this year in San Francisco.But Harris has gained 195 yards from scrimmage the past two weeks with starter Carlos Hyde slowed by a shoulder injury.I think hes dynamic as a runner, offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said. I think hes strong, hes shifty, hes got good lateral quickness. I think he sees it well. Hes got to still learn, like all of them, patience. When to be patient and when not to, but the kid no doubt has a lot of ability as a runner. A lot of natural run instincts.LINE QUESTION: Palmer sat out Arizonas earlier game against the 49ers with a concussion and is coming off his best passing game of the season, throwing for 363 yards and two touchdown in Arizonas 30-20 loss at Carolina two Sundays ago. But he was sacked a season-worst eight times.Now he must survive without left tackle Jared Veldheer, out for the season with torn triceps.

MONACO -- ??? Monaco sealed first place in Group E of the Champions League with a 2-1 win over Tottenham in a thrilling display of attacking football on Tuesday.Needing just a draw against the only side to remain unbeaten in the Premier League to progress to the knockout phase, Monaco did not hold back. However, it took the hosts 48 minutes to break the deadlock with a goal from Djibril Sidibe, who then turned provider when Thomas Lemar scored the winner five minutes later.Harry Kane had equalized from the penalty spot for Spurs, which can no longer qualify for the knockout phase.We got ourselves back in the game at 1-1 and it was schoolboy to concede straight after that, Kane said. We had to try to grind out a win because we were not great tonight. The second goal took the stuffing out of us. I just dont think on the day we were good enough.Monaco went ahead when Sidibe, unmarked in the box, planted a powerful header into the net from Benjamin Mendys cross.Monaco could not hold on to its lead for long as a rare mistake from Kamil Glik, who dragged Dele Alli down in the area, resulted in a penalty. Kane converted it with a powerful spot-kick.But Spurs defensive inadequacies were exposed less than a minute after their equalizer. From the resulting kick-off, Sidibe burst down the right before crossing for Lemar. The highly-praised midfielder, who scored in the corresponding fixture in September at Wembley, restored Monacos advantage with a shot into the far corner.It was a great evening, Sidibe said. Were playing with a conquering mindset at the moment.It was a deserved win for Monaco, which was the better team for most of the game.In a lively start, Tottenham createdd the first dangerous move when Son Heung-min beat the offside trap on a swift counterattack but lost his one-on-one with Danijel Subasic.dddddddddddd The South-Korean winger vainly tried to dribble the Monaco keeper and was forced wide.The hosts replied immediately through Fabinho, who made the most of a poor clearance to make his way into the box and was brought down by Eric Dier. Radamel Falcao, the Monaco captain, took the penalty -- only to see his low shot to the bottom corner superbly blocked by Hugo Lloriss diving save.With Kevin Wimmer replacing Jan Vertonghen in the heart of Tottenhams back four, Spurs struggled defensively and Monaco -- the highest-scoring side in Europes main domestic leagues -- gradually took control.With its midfielders often losing possession and committing a series of fouls as they tried to recover the ball, Tottenham failed to produce a single shot in goal during the opening 45 minutes.The French league side had another good chance when Mendy sent a cross-shot goalwards that Lloris parried away. Left unmarked in the area, Monaco striker Valere Germain tried his luck from the rebound but his header was too weak to surprise Lloris.Falcao and Sidibe then missed the target and Germain again came close after a pass from Bernardo Silva in midfield sent him through. The striker raced down the right flank and fired an angled low shot that ended just wide.Monaco created two more clear chances through Glik and Falcao after Lemar put the hosts back in front but Lloris ensured a nervy finale with some decisive saves.
