Chelsea flew out of the traps looking to improve in their recent poor home form, and almost took the lead in fortuitous circumstances early on as Callum Hudson-Odoi clipped what looked like a cross over Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno, but saw the ball hit the top of the crossbar. The hosts did not have to wait long, however, given more than a helping hand from a familiar source.
Going to the game, Newcastle have managed 25 points and are placed 10th while Everton are in 13th place with 22 points. Newcastle are coming from a 4-1 loss at Manchester United and will be keen on getting back to winning ways, having managed three wins in their last five matches. They have five wins in the last 10 matches and four clean sheets in the last 15 matches.
This should be very interesting match between this two sides. I don't know why but all I can see here is one very boring match where eventually only one accident goal can decide the winner. Both teams are going to fight for that play off spot. Girona so far are at the 5th position with 49 pts while Elche is at the 7th place with only 2 points less than Girona. However both teams are having some problems lately at the back and I think that they will focus more on not conceding any goal rather they scoring it. I give a little advantage to Girona because of the quality but Elche are very solid home team this season.
Neymar left Barcelona for the French champions in a world record move in 2017 but his time in the capital has been dogged by reports of unrest. He attempted to force through a move in the summer which led to some fans turning against him at the Parc des Princes. He has scored 16 goals in 19 games for the champions as they have again moved comfortably to the top of Ligue 1, and Barca's great rivals Real Madrid reportedly sent representatives to Paris at the start of the season to meet with him about moving to the Bernabeu.
Yes, Manchester City made up some ground on Jurgen Klopp's side by beating Leicester City, but Liverpool have retained their 10-point cushion without kicking a ball in that competition - and they now have a game in hand on both the teams who are just below them too. I don't think they could really have asked for much more from their week away. Liverpool head for the King Power Stadium next, and they know that if they beat the Foxes there on 26 December, they will take a huge step towards the Premier League title.

I prefer taking both teams scoring in this game because Karvina despite sitting in the last place for most of the first part of this season they have been much better this year winning plenty of points from home games and they have added some decent foreign players for this league level which should help them avoid relegation this season. But Sparta is quite weak in defense, I mean even in friendly games they conceded goals from sides like Dukla Prague or Jihlava and even drew 3-3 with Zizkov also from the 2nd league level at home.
There's a weight on your shoulders, especially when you have the calibre of records that Sam Kerr does," said Rafferty. We can't judge her after one, two or three games. It's not easy coming to a different country. How will she fit in at Chelsea?There is an abundance of attacking talent at Chelsea, including England international Beth England, who has scored six goals in nine games so far this season.
The party went long into the night. The only odd bit was the atmosphere at Anfield. The Liverpool fans didn't want United to win the title, they wanted Blackburn to win, for the obvious reasons of Kenny Dalglish was Blackburn's manager and everything he means to Liverpool. They wanted us to win it, that was strange. You could sense even the players wanted us to win it. We lost the game but straight away we realised the title was ours.
Wingate & Finchley and Carshalton will face each other in the upcoming match in the Isthmian League Premier Division . Wingate & Finchley this season have the following results: 2W, 5D and 9L. Meanwhile Carshalton have 8W, 5D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Livingston were unable to steal a point off Aberdeen in their Boxing Day clash, as the West Lothian club failed to score a second goal that would have brought them level. It was Livi's first defeat in their previous five games.
But Liverpool, who left their vaunted front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino on the bench, levelled through Virgil van Dijk's header. Divock Origi put Liverpool ahead from 20 yards from Andrew Robertson's pass before Senegal forward Mane curled home a late third for the visitors. Follow reaction to all of Sunday's gamesA textbook end-of-season gameIn truth it was a game with little on the line, Liverpool's points target aside.
They train with the Barcelona youngsters under the supervision in the stands of Messi, sitting next to Luis Suarez, who comes to watch his kids too, and they follow their father's career with interest. But there are similarities. Now, just as in the early days, he needs to be surrounded by those people he trusts and likes. Back in the day it was friends like Ronaldinho and Portuguese midfielder Deco who made him feel protected.
Carroll has made only seven substitute appearances since rejoining Newcastle in the close season due to ankle and groin issues and missed last Saturday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City with a rib problem. Yedlin also missed the match against the defending champions after picking up a hip injury. They're training today and they trained yesterday, so if they don't have any reaction they could be involved tomorrow," Bruce told a news conference.
He has an important part to play - and has played an important part with the pressure he has put on the strikers," Wilder added. From my point of view, the example he has set, and is setting, and the influence he has on those young players is huge. On Friday, Sheffield United host 16th-placed West Ham United, who appear rejuvenated under new manager David Moyes with back-to-back wins over Bournemouth and Gillingham.
Son Heung-min's stoppage time goal gave Tottenham a last-gasp victory in an entertaining game at Aston Villa and took the visitors up to fifth in the Premier League table. The result means Jose Mourinho's side have leapfrogged Sheffield United and are now a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who have a game in hand. Villa, who remain a point above the bottom three in 17th, made the stronger start and took the lead via Toby Alderweireld's own goal - with the Spurs defender prodding Anwar El Ghazi's cross past goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
Of course these teams are the best ones of the whole League and this could be a close clash, however BATE seems to be favorite on Shakhtyor, considering that they come from 8 wins in the last 9 home games and they have even conceded no goal in 6 of the last 7. Soligorsk has collected no win in the last 12 games played here and lost 3 out of the last 4, also losing the last one, played one year ago, when BATE has beaten them by 3-1. Soligorsk has a fantastic defense, but BATE's attack can give them a win today.

This is one of the game, in the mid of the season, which could determine the ways of the rivals for the next part. Lieferink is getting their place near the average in the competition, and it is never sure how team would play their matches. They can lose from weaker opponent, but also fight favorites on the same power.
Chennaiyin fc have 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 11 goals and conceded 8 goals in the last 5 league matches.

There was a false start. In their first season after the club was bought for £45m by Chinese conglomerate Fosun International in 2016, Wolves went through three managers and at one point went two months without a win on their way to a 15th-place Championship finish. But two games into the following campaign, talk inside the club became about promotion to the Premier League. One player was so convinced he told club media only a month later that Wolves were going up.
Away from home, Clough's men are up there with League 1's best, as they've got the third-best travelling record in the division, though at home, it's a different story. A lack of goals has seriously hindered Burton's ability to collect points at Pirelli Stadium, where the Brewers have scored a measly total of four in seven games.
Ibrahimovic's house in Stockholm was also vandalised, with 'Judas' painted on the front door. The latest incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday morning. Malmo police spokesperson Eva-Gun Westford told BBC Sport an investigation had been opened and police would be looking at CCTV to identify the culprits. Someone tried to saw the feet," she said. There is a risk now it could fall and we have placed a fence around it.
Once more odds are too big on the away win in this one and quite delicious to take the DNB on the guests with them being 3.25 at this bookie, did not have the option in the other Serie D I placed a pick on but here I do and will take it. The hosts from Latina even played in Serie B some seasons ago but they are a shadow of their former self, lost a few days ago with a modest Ostia Mare side with 2-1 at home, they are 7th in the league with 26 points and just 3 points above Aprilia at this moment so not really that a big difference between these two sides.
Dinamo Zagreb needed to win and hope Shakhtar Donetsk failed to beat Atalanta to take second place in the group. They made a fine start to the game with the highly-rated Daniel Olmo breaking the deadlock with a special first-time volley in the 10th-minute. But 10 minutes before the interval, City levelled, Riyad Mahrez standing up a pinpoint cross for Jesus who headed in for his first of the night.
So far, Mainz 05 have won only 27 points in 26 matches, they are ranked 15th place, and spot above the relegation zone, their goal record is very poor 36:55. RB Leipzig on the other side are ranked 5th place with 51 points, 63 goals scored and only 27 allowed.
Mason Mount won the U18 Premier League title with Chelsea, as well as two FA Youth CupsWith several senior players having made themselves available, Adi Viveash's under-23 side was unusually stacked with experienced first-teamers, from John Terry to Michy Batshuayi, Cesc Fabregas to Kurt Zouma. This meant Viveash was only able to select a handful of his own players for the match, but he had no hesitation in starting Mount.

The good thing is Pierre (Hojbjerg) got hit on his knee but has recovered very well so could train. Yan (Valery) is still out, but Sofiane (Boufal) is better and could train without an injection so is an option. Southampton face a Chelsea side that returned to winning ways over the weekend with a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
Budge has mooted the idea of league reconstruction, where the top flight would expand from 12 teams to 14, taking in the top two in the Championship. But Uefa sent a letter to national associations warning European places could be under threat if leagues are called early. The Uefa statement doesn’t help, trying to apply pressure," McInnes added. The self-interest there is clear. I don’t think any federation should be penalised for doing what’s fair and right for their country, including ours.
All in the name of "nostalgia". The Three Lions have won just three of the nine shootouts in which they have taken part at a World Cup, European Championships or Nations League tournament - the first was over Span in the Euro '96 quarter-finals and was their only triumph in seven attempts. But is there cause for optimism with the last two coming in their last two victories - against Colombia at the 2018 World Cup and then over Switzerland in last year's Nations League.
A German fourth-tier club have sold more than 100,000 tickets for a match against an "invisible opponent" - despite averaging crowds of 3,000.

I've always been one to say that when you're enjoying your football that's when you play your best stuff. The best way to enjoy your football is to win games. Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel enjoyed a comfortable afternoon at the other end of the pitch, although midfielder Wilfred Ndidi needed to make a brilliant block to deny Martin Montoya.

They have won siux of their last 15 matches, with two clean sheets therein. Nine of their last 15 matches have yielded over 2.

Conceded by Liam Gordon. Union Berlin's game against Wolfsburg was held up for 10 minutes as home fans became the latest set of supporters to protest against Hoffenheim president Dietmar Hopp and the German FA this weekend.

Nothing changes with this man. Can't wait until he leaves our club. Rachel T: Mourinho making a change that early will give the rest of the team a kick up the backside. No-one else will want to be hooked!Rachel F: Bit harsh on Dier taken off so early. Even Phil Jones lasted until half-time on Sunday. Tim: If Spurs' defence is anything to go by, Mourinho has gone from the Humble One to the Crumble One.
Awoniyi, who has yet to make an appearance for Liverpool since joining in 2015, has played in 12 Bundesliga games for Mainz since joining on a season-long loan last August. He has also had loan spells at German side FSV Frankfurt, Dutch team NEC and Belgium sides Royal Excel Mouscron and Gent. Augsburg won the game 1-0 thanks to a first-minute goal by former Mainz forward Florian Niederlechner, to leave his old club 15th in the table, just three points above the relegation zone with three games to play.
Napoli's problems continue to mount with pressure on boss Carlo Ancelotti, who has been linked with a return to Milan. He's reportedly facing the sack after an awful run of form, which has seen the Partenopei fall from title contenders to a side struggling to make the top four. With AC Milan and Liverpool up next – two clubs with 13 European Cups between them – he allegedly has two games to save his job. However, their off-field issues make a turnaround unlikely.
Everton also held informal talks with Unai Emery after he was sacked by Arsenal but that has gone no further at this stage, while Bournemouth's Eddie Howe has admirers in the Goodison Park boardroom. Ferguson, who will be assisted again at the weekend by coaches John Ebbrell and Francis Jeffers and goalkeeper coach Alan Kelly, made an impressive impact in his opening fixture in charge. The Blues came into the game against Chelsea having lost their previous three games, including a 5-2 thrashing in the Merseyside derby by Liverpool.
This is actually the only game from Wednesday in this country from the total of 3 games offered that I suggest highly taken, the other two I would suggest Merw(+1.5)AH at current odds of 2.05 and Sagadam under 2.5 goals at 1.53, both odds at same bookie that I am writing this pick on Bet365 who has the best odds at this moment on all 3 games. But All is the strongest club in this country, 5 wins from 6 games and 5 clean sheets at the same time going with their wins, one once with 3-0, three 2-0 wins and a 1-0 win at Kopetdag.
Ultimately, anything but a Santos win this weekend would be a huge surprise. Man for man, they are stronger than Chape in all areas of the pitch and typically rampant on home turf, you just can't picture the visitors taking anything home with them, given how poor they've been all season.
Hallescher and Mannheim will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga. Hallescher this season have the following results: 9W, 6D and 15L. Meanwhile Mannheim have 12W, 14D and 4L.

I did the knee slide celebration because we had spoken about that before the game. We were having a meal and we were like 'we are playing at Hampden tomorrow; imagine if one of us scores? We have got to do a knee slide!'. It was a little bit delayed after scoring so the pictures definitely make it look better than it was.
