Ferguson has steadied the ship since taking over, beating Chelsea at home and drawing at Manchester United in the league, and losing to Leicester City on penalties in the League Cup. Everton, who are now 16th in the standings, are expected to announce a new permanent manager soon, with Carlo Ancelotti widely reported to be the front-runner for the position.
But if you fancy backing Eddie Howe's men to spring another surprise, Harry Wilson likes being on the road as five of his six league goals have come away from home this season. Stack up on Reds in top v bottom clashLeague leaders Liverpool host bottom club Watford at Anfield in the early kick-off on Saturday, and all signs point to a comfortable victory for the Reds. Jurgen Klopp's men have not dropped a point at home so far this season and they have won six of their last seven Premier League games against the Hornets, scoring 25 goals and conceding just four.
Match in the Czech Republic between 5th, Slovan Liberec and 6th Ostrava. Both teams still hope to get into 3rd place. So, basically this is a game between two teams fighting for a place in the playoffs and they are currently in this area, so I think a draw in this game would work for both teams. Anyway, I think the guests here are underrated and that's why I'm going to try draw in this game. after the break the locals seem to be in better shape with 3 wins in 6 games. Meanwhile Ostrava won 1 in 5 games but with a more favorable fixtures. Visitors can snatch a point.
Sporting Charleroi is currently in excellent form with 6 wins and 2 draws in the last 8 games in the league. At home they have won all of the last 4 games without conceding a goal and overall they have kept a clean sheet in 7 of the last 9 games.
Puel has struggled to really transform les Verts' home form since joining as they have already suffered a couple of awful results under the Frenchman. Their 1-1 draw with Ukrainian side Oleksandria in the Europa League was a particularly damning result as they couldn't even surpass a team sitting 4th in their respective division at the time. This was followed by a 2-2 draw at home to current 15th placed side Amiens so there is still much to prove at the Geoffrey-Guichard. However, their most recent match there was a solid 1-0 victory over Monaco so this shows they are capable of great performances in front of their own fans.
And Chelsea and United both look like they will make it harder for us next year too. Liverpool's title was confirmed when City lost at Chelsea last week and Big Zuu definitely enjoyed the moment. He explained: "Kevin de Bruyne scored one of the best goals of the season to equalise for City in that game - I have not seen a free-kick hit like that. He hit it and it went into the sky then somehow dipped under the bar.

Stabaek ended the Norwegian league strong last year with a 4-2-0 record in the last 6 matches and they have also looked good so far in the friendlies in 2020 with a 6-1-2 record in 9 matches. At home they have a 4-1-0 record in 5 friendlies scoring 13 goals.
The fact that Foster would count towards Tottenham's home-grown quota makes him an even more attractive prospective signing for the club. Paper Round's view: Foster is a very reliable goalkeeper, but he would be giving up first-team football at Vicarage Road if he were to join Spurs. It's unlikely that he would usurp Lloris as Tottenham's number one and if Watford manage to stay up, the Hornets would be silly if they fail to offer him a contract extension.
Billions of pounds in TV income is at stake if there is no resumption in the foreseeable future, with most figures within the game anticipating any resumption, when it eventually comes, will be without spectators. United's commercial bufferUnited's vast commercial operation has often been viewed with disdain, including by the club's own supporters, in the belief it shows their owners have got their priorities wrong.
Kevin de Bruyne has been brilliant for Manchester City this season, creating more chances than any other Premier League player and heading up the assists table too. For any striker, De Bruyne is a dream to play in front of because of the range of his deliveries. From his whipped crosses into the box to balls in behind the defence where the weight of the pass is key, he can provide exactly what you need.
There was a situation in the last minute for them, the number six became a striker and that created confusion that maybe we could have solved from the bench. This player had a clear chance and it was a very important save by Kiko Casilla. For some time we were better than the opponent and the save had a big impact.

BATE Borisov didn't make a good start to the season but mainly because they were playing away from home. They are much better on home soil and will be confident of beating the league leaders Zhodino. Their opponents aren't so great on the road and will find this tough as they attempt to avoid a third straight away loss at BATE. Go for a home win here.
It's a great result but we have to keep our focus here on in. It's not a season-changing result but it's an important one, especially in the context of our own situation. There is an awful long way to go. I think what it does, it quantifies the work the players have put in over the last few games. But I'm not naive enough to think that we are anywhere near concluding what we set out to do.
Both of these sides will likely approach this in a positive manner given their recent good form, so an end to end, attacking game of football appears to be on the cards. The hosts have been excellent in front of goal and have scored two or more goals in six of their eight home league games so far this season. Meanwhile, their visitors have been improving in front of goal but, with three goals conceded in their last two outings, they appear to have scrapped their solid foundation in favour of a more attacking approach. All this leads us to believe that goals are the order of the day, and with the prolific nature of Cheltenham on home soil at the moment, backing them to score over 1.5 team goals is where we are placing our trust.

With Norwich still reeling, Baldock put the visitors ahead in the 52nd minute, twisting and turning before firing the ball past goalkeeper Tim Krul and into the bottom left corner after collecting a pass from John Lundstram. Norwich midfielder Alexander Tettey had earlier marked his return to the starting lineup with the opening goal in the 27th minute, blasting a low shot past goalkeeper Dean Henderson after the Blades failed to clear Emiliano Buendia's corner.

We are here to win games," said Courtois in his teammate's defence. What has happened, has happened. He [Bale] gives everything in training and matches to help us win. The Bernabeu has its opinion and I am not in a position to comment on that. Aguero to miss Manchester derby Sergio Aguero will not be fit to face Manchester United at the Etihad next month after limping out of Manchester City's 2-1 win against Chelsea on Saturday.
After a poor performance in the pre-Christmas Clasico - a disappointing goalless home draw which Real largely dominated - Barca's latest setback came on Thursday in the reformatted Super Cup semi-final against Atletico Madrid, when they conceded two late goals to fall to a 3-2 defeat. In the wake of that loss, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu appears to have decided enough is enough. Xavi, who has just started his managerial career with Al-Sadd after spending the previous four years playing for the Qatari club, has confirmed media reports that he spoke to Barca's sporting director Eric Abidal and chief executive Oscar Grau over the weekend.
Julien: "The showboating incident led to another clash between Neymar and the fourth official. He said 'this is crazy'. Neymar has a point, the ref should ref. He is intelligent enough to know if he showboats there is a risk the opponent thinks he is taking the mick. He has been doing it all his life. No-one should tell Neymar how to do his job. Balague: "If he was a Brazilian ref he would say please showboat some more.
The hosts have scored eleven goals at home and only conceded five this season which works out at an average of 1.83 goals scored per game and 0.83 goals conceded, while Feyenoord’s average goals scored per away game is 1.67 and this is why we have backed a final score of 1-1 between the pair this weekend. Each of the hosts six home games have produced over 1.5 goals and Feyenoord have seen at least two goals scored in 83% of their away games which is why we have ruled out a 0-0 draw or 1-0 win for either side this weekend. Half of Feyenoord’s away games have seen both teams score and this is probably why the visitors haven’t been as good on the road compared to previous seasons, but the visitors have only failed to score in 17% of their Eredivisie games away from home.
There is no doubt Wolves want Nuno to stay. A contract offer will eventually be forthcoming. It is felt the 46-year-old shares the same vision as his bosses, recognises the club are ahead of schedule and accepts the need to take a breath before a concerted push to the next level. Yet Fosun are also prepared. As with Thelwell, they regard it as a positive that rival organisations are interested in their employees, as confirmation Wolves are doing something right.
Liam Cooper slammed in the third from inside the box shortly after as Leeds took control, and Pablo Hernandez's wonderfully precise effort from the edge of the area ended any Stoke hopes. Patrick Bamford swiped in the fifth off both posts in added time to deliver a win that moved Leeds above West Brom and established a six-point gap on in-form Brentford in third, with four games left to play. It was a chastening evening for Michael O'Neill's Stoke, who saw spirited defensive work undone when Tommy Smith lunged in on Costa to give away the spot-kick, and they failed to mount a meaningful challenge to the hosts throughout.
They were let down with the most catastrophic consequences imaginable. I know how important these proceedings have been to everyone, even though they came far too late. Graham Mackrell, the Sheffield Wednesday club secretary at the time of the disaster, was found guilty of a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act, in the previous trial.
Manchester City have spoken to the Premier League about their Christmas fixture programme after being asked to play twice in less than 48 hours. City have just 46 hours 15 minutes between the start of their matches at Wolves on 27 December and at home to Sheffield United on 29 December. The Blades have 75 hours from kick-off at their 26 December home match with Watford to the start of the City game.
Osnabruck have remained undefeated in their last 5 matches. They are in very good form right now. They have also won 2 of their last 5 matches as well. They sit on 10th spot right now and playing some good football.
When you throw someone like him on, like Brendan Rodgers did in the second half when Everton were 1-0 up, you are saying to the rest of the team "come on, let's really go for this" - which they did. Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 2-1 Everton: Brendan Rodgers praises VAR after win Moise Kean went close to winning it for Everton, so Leicester did ride their luck a bit, but the thing that stood out for me is that Rodgers does not just start lumping it long when they need a goal.
Fulham come into this one with the edge over QPR, having won four and drawn two of the last seven meetings between them at Craven Cottage. Meanwhile, Rangers have failed to win back-to-back away London derbies since 2010, coming into this one following a victory at Millwall earlier this season.
He is not allowed to play in the Champions League because the date for registration has passed, but he can play in all of Barca's remaining 14 La Liga games, possibly picking up a league winner's medal if they overhaul Real Madrid's one-point lead at the top. La Liga need to look at this rule," said European football reporter Raphael Honigstein on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily. It makes sense for goalkeepers.

I get to learn from the likes of Gareth and Alan and it keeps that side going as well as playing. Coaching might bring new aspects for me but it's about working hard on the pitch and putting in the hours off it, trying to grow my knowledge of the game. If I can help the team in any way, hopefully, I'll take on that role as well. Taylor said he was thrilled to have former Sunderland and Everton midfielder Scott as both a player and as part of the backroom team.
And Keita repaid that favour after the interval, collecting a loose pass inside the Bournemouth half, driving forward and then slipping in Salah, who duly applied the finishing touch. Liverpool kept a clean sheet for the first time since September and were never troubled at the back as the home team couldn’t muster a single shot on target.
We want another three points next time around. I think a total of six points from this SheBelieves campaign would be a fantastic effort from this team so that's the challenge over the next few days. It was a better performance from the Lionesses, who had more shots in the first half of the encounter than they did in 90 minutes against the USA.
The charity, which aims to empower young people, has a mentoring programme in partnership with six West Midlands football clubs. Julia Regis, Cyrille's widow, says mentoring was "part of his job that he loved most". Giving back was an inherent part of his character," she says.

We could see that we needed him. Against the side sitting second in the Premier League, Guilbert gave Villa a surprise lead - and they restricted the Foxes to few clear-cut chances before Iheanacho, also a substitute, fired in from Jamie Vardy's pass. Rodgers added: "It was critical for us. Hamza instigates our pressing in midfield. We've had Wilfred Ndidi [who was injured in training] in there who's colossal for us.
Goals by Willian in the 13th minute, courtesy of a ghastly mistake by Liverpool keeper Adrian, and Ross Barkley in the 64th minute, made it a great night for the eight-time Cup winners. They were indebted to recalled goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga to keep them ahead though as the Spaniard, dropped in January, made three saves in quick succession from Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Liverpool teenager Curtis Jones.

Kafr Qasim is going to face Maccabi Petah Tikva. The hosts are in the 6th place in the league standings and they will stay in top 8 for sure. Today they will face the best team in the second league of Israel. Tikva won 17 of 28 matches and now they need points to win this league and get promoted to the first league. Tikva won 6 matches of 14 on the trips but today I bet them to win this clash. They are a much better team and they played well in the last matches. I think that it will be 0:1 for Tikva
SV Lafnitz against Austria Lustenau here, another match of the Erste Liga of Austrian football that is played today afternoon at 19:10. Lafnitz favored for the victory of the match comes from an away success for 0-1 in the first match played in inverted fields and more generally they are unbeaten for 8 matches with 3 wins and 5 draws; Austria Lustenau is certainly not disputing a season at the height of the previous ones and is stationed at mid-table without glory or infamy; I decide to focus on an extension of the Lafnitz positive strip and I expect them to extend their unbeaten run.
All 20 Premier League captains have started a WhatsApp group to coordinate a united response. Paper Round’s view: It is hard to feel sympathy for Premier League clubs on this one. Most are rich beyond their wildest dreams thanks to the television deal and are unlikely to be hit too hard by a fall in matchday revenue caused by a prolonged delay in the resumption of football and the possible completion of matches behind closed doors.
