Everyone knows . We know it is a hard season for us but we want to win games to take the points to be maybe at the end of the season in the top four. Our goal is to be in the Champions League. Arteta, who took over from interim coach Freddie Ljungberg, has said he hopes to use their mid-season training camp in Dubai to help get his ideas across quicker and ensure results improve in the second half of the campaign.
Portugal top League. Team Vitoria SC will play with team Benfica. It will be the first match for teams in this New Year. Hosts did 4 wins in the last 5 matches played. Their shape is well. Team Benfica had the same situation. They did 4 wins in the last 5 matches played. My bet on guests here. Vitoria SC will play today without 5 main players. And Benfica will have a great advantages in the evening match. Last head to head matches were ended with gusts victories. Odds are so good on guests. And I recommend to try them with me .
He was even left on the bench for an FA Cup tie against Peterborough and when he appeared as a substitute was given a noticeably warm welcome by Burnley fans, which drew a strange response from Dyche, who said he was "intrigued" by the reaction. The fans went crazy. He must have got 20 goals last season because the fans went mad," he said.
Read the full story Chelsea close in on £120m Sancho transfer Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho is set to seal a move to Premier League club Chelsea in a transfer worth £120 million, according to the Sun. The England international has caught the attention of some of Europe's biggest clubs, but the west London side are ready to fight off domestic rivals Liverpool and Manchester United by showing their willingness to meet Dortmund's huge transfer valuation fee.
It is no good West Ham giving Liverpool a run for their money, albeit in a losing cause, if bad habits return at home to Southampton on Saturday. For all the positives this was still a defeat. One with some honour but still a defeat. When Moyes arrived at West Ham he announced, somewhat boldly: "I think there's only two or three managers with a better Premier League win record. That's what I do - I win.
Atlanta is at 4th place, three points above their next opponent AS Roma. We can expect a really interesting match, both sides are motivated to show their quality in this duel. Atalanta will have strong support from domestic fans, and they are the most effective squad in Serie A, with amazing 61 goals after 23 rounds, Ilicic and Zapata will be in attack, and visitors defenders will not have an easy job in this duel. AS Roma is defeated in last two rounds, against Bologna, and Sassuolo, but with Edin Dzeko in attack, they are able not just to avoid defeat but to win in this duel. Match without winner sounds as most realistic result
Betts added: "Why would you sign contracts and pay money if others just take it for free? It undermines the whole Premier League and it's like inviting a cuckoo into the nest. While the Premier League needs to seriously look at any potential conflict between the ownership of a football club and the alleged three-year theft of UK media rights by the future owner, the government should take a role, not sit on the bench.
Simona Halep is up to second place in the live rankings. She only lost two games in her quarter final and is yet to drop a set in this tournament. Halep has done well at this event in the past, losing in the final two years ago. Her opponent has shown improved form this week after a poor 2019. Halep can be backed to get the win here.

If football is moving into the entertainment business, then the paying customers at Whaddon Road are certainly getting their moneys worth this season as matches there have finished with an impressive average of 3.17 goals per game. Although plenty of those goals have been scored by the hosts, it should not discourage any visiting sides as Cheltenham have also conceded plenty too.
Grimsby Town are in 13th position with 47 points from 37 matches, winning in all 12 matches, 11 games ended in draw while they have lost 14 games, they have scored 45 goals against 51. Coming to this game they won their last league game against Scunthorpe 2-0 away.
We didn’t get everything bang on. We weren’t comfortable on the ball, that was the biggest disappointment. It was a harsh lesson. This is Champions League football. In the first half we suffered in moments, but we stayed in the game. The first goal had a slip, but they have a clinical nature. In the bigger picture we saw there is a lot of quality in their team.
Still, the Premier League fared little better. After a bafflingly long week of silence the Premier League issued a confusing statement on Thursday evening saying that they intended for all the weekend’s games to go ahead as planned, with fans. Less than an hour after that, Arsenal confirmed manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive, which forced a dramatic u-turn that led to Friday morning’s announcement.
Osasuna's strength at home and Sociedad's regular failure to back up good results means we're siding with the hosts here, and we certainly wouldn't deter punters from getting stuck into Jagoba Arrasate's men in the double chance market.
Stand-in striker Aboubakar Kamara scored twice as Fulham overcame Queens Park Rangers to move up to fourth in the Championship table. Kamara, brought in to replace suspended top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic, coolly took his chances after Rangers stunned the hosts with an early goal. The visitors pressed high from the start and were rewarded for their attacking approach to the west London derby when Jordan Hugill forced the ball over the line from close range after Todd Kane's cross was parried into his path by goalkeeper Marek Rodak.
Walter Ferreti will host Real Madriz for this fixture of the league. Hosts are favorites in this game. Ferretti have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. In any case, the hosts will try to dominate in this match. They tend to score a goal. However, this is a very unpredictable league. Perhaps, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Yeah, Real Madriz have less potential. I think, the visitors will pay attention on their defense. I think, they will seek their chance. My pick: Real Madrid to win.
Fans threw fireworks and missiles onto the pitch in Sunday's game, and Colo Colo striker Nicholas Blandi went down clutching his ears after one explosive device exploded at his feet. Video showed a clearly disorientated Blandi limping off the field and receiving treatment and the referee removed the players and abandoned the match moments later.
In the last six home matches, Kasimpasa have scored 13 goals and conceded just one. Having struggled to establish a fluid home run in the opening 10 home games, when they won just one, they will want to finish strongly in this match. They have six home wins in 16 home league matches this season and five of the wins have come in the last six home matches.
The Argentine has formed a strong understanding with Mbappe and Neymar, forcing Edinson Cavani to watch from the bench for the most part. MAN OF THE MATCH - Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain) Some PSG supporters have still to forgive Neymar for what happened in the summer, but in this form the Brazilian is arguably the French champions’ best player and the guy who could still carry them to Champions League glory.
The visitors away record is a major concern, have lost their last four trips. Overall this season Blackburn have lost 75% of their away games, with a huge 75% of their points so far coming at Ewood Park. They’ve also scored the majority of their goals at home and conceded most of them away, so they look like the perfect target for Stoke.
