Watford have been improving a lot lately and perhaps it is the Nigel Pearson effect taking place. They have not lost in the last two matches and they go to this clash with two straight clean sheets at home. There is a sense of stability in the team and looking at Aston Villa’s away form, it will be very hard to pick on the visitors here. Watford have not scored a lot of goals in the season, like Aston Villa, but they have shown great improvement lately, and especially at home. Basing on this, we are backing them for a win here.
I see no reason why not to believe this shall be a high scoring win for the guests as after the restart they played away from home at Mainz and had the lead 3-0 from half-time of the game and scored two more goals in the second half winning with 5-0 in the end and before the break they also won with same score 5-0 away from home at Schalke, and Koln is quite soft in defense with 52 goals conceded in the league alone this season but really not that bad attacking with 44 goals scored by them while after the restart all 3 games of theirs went with over 3.5 goals drawing 2-2 at home with both Mainz and Dusseldorf who are fighting against relegation and losing 3-1 away at Hoffenheim.
Pep Guardiola says Mikel Arteta is "creating something unique" at Arsenal and feels the Gunners will challenge for trophies under the Spaniard. Arteta worked as Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City before taking his first managerial job at Arsenal. The compatriots come up against each other in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday at Wembley (19:45 BST). There is no better person to do the job than Mikel," said Guardiola.
Ajax have been rocked in recent top clashes, which has dented their position at home and abroad. The champions have lost back to back Eredivisie games against their top three rivals, with Willem II and AZ beating them. That loss to AZ has put the two level on points at the top, while a recent 1-0 loss to Valencia knocked Ajax out of the Champions League.
Stevenage have already lost five of their home games in League Two this season while Port Vale have picked up the same amount of points away from home (11) that Stevenage have managed in their own backyard.

The match will now take place on March 18, the BFU said. Ludogorets, who have won the Bulgarian league title for the last eight seasons, were beaten 2-1 by Inter Milan in a Europa League clash at the San Siro on Thursday which was played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus outbreak in northern Italy.
We’re confident that Porto will win on Friday and we have predicte4d a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites, having outperformed their guests in all departments, and with a dominating lead in the head to head record between the two clubs. However, Braga have improved of late and look as if they will challenge for fourth spot and possibly a top-three finish which is why we have only backed a narrow 1-0 win for Porto this Friday.

It is once more not the best season for Basel in the league, they are actually just 3rd placed and in danger of missing out on the Champions League next season as the top two teams, St. Gallen and Young Boys have both 8 points more than them at this stage with Basel losing their opening game at Luzern with 2-1 after the restart in the league.

His relationships with his players"I have a very good relationship with all my teams but the mix of skill sets that these boys bring in here, plus the personality they bring, is absolutely exceptional and only this combination of things makes it possible. They are really a bunch of top boys and I am really happy to be part of this moment. They are all individuals and different and that's good, but they have no real selfish characteristics as well.
But Klopp is yet to assess the fitness of other key players who have returned from international duty. Virgil is 100% available. I cannot say 100% for the others," the German coach added. Today is an important session with the players who came back late - Bobby (Roberto Firmino), Fabinho, Gini Wijnaldum.
St Johnstone, meanwhile, remain in eighth place, level on points with Kilmarnock and with a game in hand. Lennon praises 'brilliant' Celtic displayReaction & as it happenedCeltic better in every aspectSt Johnstone's recent woes against Celtic have been well documented. They were beaten 7-0 on the opening day of the season. They had conceded 27 goals since they last scored one against them. In fact, since the Perth side's last strike in August 2017, Celtic have won seven trophies.
Last year, the honour of being named the world's best player fell to Luka Modric. But Messi is currently odds on to beat Virgil van Dijk to the 2019 prize. If he does so, Messi will edge clear of Ronaldo on six Ballon d'Or wins - an unprecedented feat and a possible fatal blow in their battle for supremacy.
Walter Ferretti are the second most productive team in the league so far with 31 goals in 13 games and especially at home they been scoring goals easily with at least 3 goals in the last 4 matches. All of the last 10 matches of Walter Ferretti have gone over the 2.5 goals.
Arsenal rarely loses to Aston Villa, at least in their recent meetings, and going to this game right after the win over Manchester City, they will be in high spirits. The Gunners are targeting a Europa League place through their league finish and this will be a crucial game towards that. They have not been good away from home this season but this is one of those games they win with good composure. Villa’s recent run makes them the underdogs here and having to contain an Arsenal that rarely fails to score will call for a lot. The fact that Villa’s defence is one of the weakest in the league further complicates matters for them, but we expect them to tick upfront. Arsenal put up a good defensive show against Manchester City but had very shaky moments and Villa could open them in this game. Six of Arsenal’s last eight matches have seen them score at least two goals and we expect more of that here, thus we will go with a 2-1 win for Arsenal.
Dak Lak is one of the most underrated teams in the league, and it is no surprise that Dak Lak is having a bad start this season. After 3 matches, Dak Lak has only brought 1 point, scored 1 goal and conceded 6 goals. The penultimate position on the rankings speaks to the situation of Dak Lak at this time.
Despite RB Leipzig being undefeated at home since October last year, they have won only 1 of the last 5 Bundesliga matches at home. After the restart they failed to beat both Freiburg and Hertha BSC at home. However, they are scoring goals easily with 11 goals in the last 3. I give them a good chance to finally win again against Paderborn.
