Bukayo Saka celebrated signing a new long-term contract by helping Arsenal deliver a blow to Wolverhampton Wanderers' hopes of Champions League football next season. The 18-year-old, who delighted manager Mike Arteta by pledging his future to the club, demonstrated why he is so highly regarded by scoring his first Premier League goal - a sweet, left-foot volley just before the interval. And the Gunners made it four successive victories when Alexandre Lacazette capped a fine team display by turning on fellow substitute Joe Willock's pass and firing emphatically past Wolves keeper Rui Patricio with five minutes left.

Everton enter race for James Rodriguez Everton are the latest club to enter the race of James Rodriguez, who is almost certain to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season after being frozen out by Zinedine Zidane this season. Manchester United and Juventus are already in the running to sign the Colombian, but the Daily Express claim that the presence of Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti, who brought him to the Santiago Bernabeu six years ago, could help lure the former Monaco man to Goodison Park.
I'm slightly concerned that, given Spurs' poor form over the past couple of months, he's still not had much game time with them, but I hope he'll be able to shine for us and I trust Ralph's judgement. Our squad is thin, so Che Adams - who has been heavily linked with Leeds - needs to stay and keep developing his game. Jannik Vestergaard has surprisingly been linked with a move to Leicester, so it'll be interesting to see if anything happens there.
There are few better things to watch in the game than Kevin de Bruyne at his very best. That was illustrated on Sunday as he put in a masterful display against Arsenal, scoring two goals and providing an assist as Manchester City won 3-0. The Belgium playmaker's contribution means he has now scored or assisted 16 goals in 16 appearances - so is he on course for his best season in a Manchester City shirt? Meanwhile, from bookies' favourite to be relegated to flying highest of the teams that came up from the Championship, Sheffield United are proving the doubters wrong - and then some.
In the second German Bundesliga, it remains to play only 4 rounds and each match takes on special significance. Darmstadt receives Vechen on his field, if everything is very clear for the guests, if they don’t start scoring points right now, then they will have a flight. And given their recent results, the chances of this are extremely high. As for the hosts, they still have a theoretical option to try to cling to butt games, there are not many chances for this, but it's worth a try. Therefore, I think that Darmstadt should win today, but I really must score on my field
Emil Bohinen is the player in question, with the 20-year-old Stabaek JF star on Brighton’s radar. Read more about the youngster here 10:40 - 'Arsenal could lose star strikers if Emery stays' Arsenal could lose two key stars, Roma want to keep Chris Smalling, Watford look to employ their third manager of the season and Liverpool confirm a substitute manager in the Carabao Cup.
The 29-year-old has been an important part of Pep Guardiola's side this term but will allow him to join the French club if the asking price is mett. PSG eye the former Leicester man as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe if he leaves to join Real Madrid in the near future. United trigger Matic extension Manchester United have triggered the one-year extension option in Nemanja Matic's contract and are in talks over a new deal, according to Sky Sports News.
Union Berlin is the newly promoted team, they won the final promotion ticket after the play-off, obviously the team of coach Urs Fischer is the lowest rated in the Bundesliga this season. However, what they show is not so, Union Berlin is 11th in the rankings with 30 points, a very high position compared to their ability and full of hope of relegation success. Next to the very strong Bayern Munich team at home, the goal of Union Berlin is just a draw, but most likely they could not do it and lost with a strong score. Bayern Munich started off relatively slowly this season, which is why coach Niko Kovac was fired and replaced by Hans-Dieter Flick. However, up to this point of the season, Bayern Munich has returned to his familiar top position with a very high performance before the tournament was suspended. In this return, most likely Bayern Munich still show their strength and easily win against Union Berlin.
Odds on goals in this match from Armenia is very good and I just need to try this. So, Ararat Armenia is solid this season and I believe that they will be in the middle of the table. They want to attack Cup, but we will see what will happen. Reason for this bet is not just current form of rivals, but also and last three official duels, between this rivals. In 2019, in those three duels, this rivals are played 1-2, 3-1 and 1-2. I believe that this match can be similar, so I will try that here, it is ok.
According to the Sun, the Togo international is valued at around £22 million and the Spanish club have reportedly already rejected a bid worth £12. French side AS Monaco.

Paderborn's poor Bundesliga away form has unquestionably contributed to their disappointing start to the season. They will be going into Friday's game having earned just one point from their previous five Bundesliga away games. Having failed to win a single game as of this game week, they have got the Bundesliga's poorest away record.
Horn and Grazer will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Horn this season have the following results: 4W, 6D and 8L. Meanwhile Grazer have 4W, 7D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Since Moshiri's bold statement, the Merseyside clubs have moved in completely opposite directions. Never will the chasm be illustrated more brutally than at a vibrant Anfield on Wednesday night. Everton's nerve has often failed them at Anfield, particularly under David Moyes, when they would often travel across Stanley Park in better form and higher in the league than their neighbours only to capitulate.
In the betting, 'Shrewsbury to Win' makes plenty of appeal at the current prices. The Shrews haven't been prolific in terms of wins overall, but they've looked good at home of late and have done so against better teams than Lincoln, beating Coventry, Peterborough and Sunderland in their last five at New Meadow. The fact that the hosts tend to give little away also bodes well. Lincoln, whose away-day woes aren't a secret, have registered just a single shot on target in each of their last three away games, which isn't positive for them ahead of a game against a host that has conceded only two shots on target in three of their last five at home.
Mikel Arteta says Arsenal must not slip up as they attempt to qualify for Europe next season. The Gunners are 10th in the Premier League, six points behind sixth-placed Manchester United. They host Norwich on Wednesday having won just one of out their first three Premier League games since the restart. Every game is going to be a must-win game from now because we have a few teams ahead of us so the margin for error is minimal,” said Arteta.
You could say the same about West Ham, especially when you look at the important games they have got coming up. So I am expecting both teams to make a lot of changes, and for West Ham to edge it. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Hull City v Chelsea (17:30 GMT)Championship (12th)vPremier League (4th)Who did they beat?3R: Rotherham (L1) A3R: Nott'm Forest (C) HI've been impressed by Hull, and Jarrod Bowen is a real threat for the Tigers up front.
MOST GOALS Real: Karim Benzema/Rodrygo (4) City: Raheem Sterling (5) MOST ASSISTS Real: Marcelo (3) City: Riyad Mahrez (4) KEY PLAYER Real: Karim Benzema City: Kevin de Bruyne PREDICTION Focus could decide this tie. Both managers have an eye-watering wealth of talent at their disposal but City – with a third league title on the bounce presumably beyond them – can focus their energies on a Champions League charge.
Over the first 2 games of the season, Helsingborg is making fans extremely disappointed with what has shown. 2 defeats in front of Kalmar and Varbergs with 0-4 and 0-3, respectively, pushed the home team to the bottom of the table with a difference of -7 after 2 matches.
Drogba, who scored 65 goals in 105 appearances for his country and won the Champions League with the English club during his playing career, has proposed the use of the Laurent Pokou hospital in Abidjan. We thank Drogba for this gift considered as an act of patriotism," the head of the city's regional council Vincent Toh Bi said.
TALKING POINT Do the Glazers care? No they do not. United badly needed more players than they signed in the summer, and with the injuries they have they need them even more badly now. Yet with 19 days of January gone, they have done nothing, because as far as the owners are concerned the club exists to pay them dividends, not to be good at association football.
Brighton & Hove Albion are struggling with only 2 wins in the last 9 games and at home they have a 1-1-2 record in the last 4 games failing to score in 2 of the 4 games.

Back in 2019 we had 2 matches at Plaide's stadium, Plaide didn't concede a single goal at those two matches and won both by large margins, 6 x 0 and 4 x 0 more recently. Tulevik Viljandi is much weaker and once again will definitely struggle not to concede a handful of goals. It's a shame we cannot find value on Pleiades side in any of the AH or O and U, otherwise I would count with a 4 x 0 easily, it's the most probable result for this venue. Tulevik might once again be fighting against relegation like last season.
University researchers are trying to find out whether footballers have got taller since the game was invented. If proven it could lend weight to arguments for making goalposts bigger. A joint study between the universities of Reading, South Australia and Ohio State is calling for fans to dig out football cards and stickers from before 1950 to help them collect more data. It also hopes to discover if taller people have historically had a greater advantage at becoming footballers.
Just four of their last 15 matches have produced over 2. In their last five home matches, they have managed just one clean sheet, while they have three wins in the last 10 home matches. They have lost three of their last five league matches at home and have the second least goals tally so far in the league, at 15.
They are still only two points above the relegation zone so there's a lot to play for in the coming weeks. Home form has seen Stoke make a great improvement. They began the season with just seven points from their first ten games as they languished in the relegation zone. Their last nine have produced 20 points with just one loss to promotion-chasing Preston North End.
Bravo got a touch to it but there was so much pace and power on the volley he couldn't keep it out. GOAL!

Foden was hacked down in the build-up by a Dinamo player who injured himself in the process and the hosts are livid that City didn't kick the ball out! Ademi is booked for his protests.
