Liverpool have lost four of their last six matches in all competitions. Everton have not beaten Liverpool in any competition since 2010. Everton are unbeaten at home since Carlo Ancelotti took charge. Everton host Liverpool in the Premier League on Monday with the opportunity for a first win over their rivals in any competition since 2010 at the forefront of their minds.
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he is "like Benjamin Button" but has "always been young, never old" after scoring twice in a Serie A victory over Sampdoria on Wednesday. The 38-year-old has scored nine goals for the club since rejoining in January following a move from LA Galaxy. The ex-Manchester United star's contract expires at the end of the Italian season. People tell me I'm old and tired but I'm just getting warmed up," he said.
Sestao conceded just one goal in 8 home games in the 4th league level this season and that goal came in their last home game when they also lost their first home games of this season just 1-0 in the end, while besides that loss they also have two 0-0 draws a couple of 3-0 wins a 2-0 and a 1-0 win at home in the 4th league level at home so far this season, so quite decent defensive side in front of home support.
Belshina prop up the table and host Smolevichi who are a point and a place ahead of them. Belshina and Smolevichi are both newly-promoted sides and a long struggle looks likely for them if they wish to avoid relegation. The home side began the season with three straight defeats, losing to FC Minsk (after taking a seventh minute lead), Zhodina (now league leaders) and Gorodeja.
A tough day for it. That is as tough as it gets. If I am part of their club - staff, players fans - it is hard to take, but I don't think it will happen many times in its use. On his style of play: "I want the players to play hard because it is a physical, hard game. When you do it right - people playing hard for their shirt, team-mates and club - and you're not falling around every two seconds, what is wrong with that?"'Never too up, never too down'Club insiders testify to this balanced, philosophical stance being extended to the training ground on a Monday morning after a game.
He scored the first, too, confidently converting a penalty that he won just before half-time. The opening goal settled United down after a nervous start to the game, with Watford creating some good opportunities on the break. They thought they had equalised early in the second half as well, but Troy Deeney’s goal was ruled out by VAR because of handball by Craig Dawson.
The Swedish winger became the first man to score in successive finals since Tottenham's Bobby Smith in 1962, and four days later Wenger's men went to Old Trafford and won 1-0 to secure Arsenal's third double. Cole: "We had the momentum going into the final and then four days later to go to Old Trafford and. I was going to say nick a 1-0 - win the title was a great achievement. Being around the legends that were at Arsenal at the time - Martin Keown, Tony Adams, David Seaman, Lee Dixon, Ray Parlour - they had already instilled that will to win and demands needed on a daily basis.

A game the visitors had in the palm of their hand was all of a sudden up for grabs. The ebb and flow made for compulsive viewing but still the chances mainly fell Celtic's way. A Christie cross almost made its way straight into the net. A break involving Christie and Jonny Hayes then set up Edouard. His fourth big chance of the game - an instinctive first-time toe-poke - brought out the third big save from Johnsson.
The referee needs a monitor to check if he was right or wrong," said Wenger. Pitchside monitors have not been used in 140 Premier League games so far this season and the 70-year-old Frenchman feels that is a problem. For me, that is the most important worry," said Wenger, speaking in Belfast after a meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body responsible for determining the laws of the game.
More than two-thirds of Premier League fans questioned believe VAR has made the game less enjoyable, a YouGov survey has found. There have been several controversial decisions involving VAR since it was introduced to the league this season. I don't think VAR has been damaging but I accept it needs improvement," Masters told BBC Sport.
Both teams have seen a 0-0 in their past 2 matches so they can play a goal less draw at times. This could be another low scoring match for both of these teams with each team looking more defending instead of attacking. Can see this match being played in the middle of the ground a lot more and when there are chances to score they might not be as dangerous. It looks a lot like a match that will not have many shots on target which makes the goal count much lower in this game overall to less than 1.5 goals.
The 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will be played in Cameroon from Jan. Feb. FECAFOOT on Twitter. The date has been changed for meteorological reasons at Cameroon's request. The tournament, played every two years, was switched to June-July last year when it was played in Egypt, provoking concerns about high temperatures.
On top of that, we’re backing a 1-0 win for the visitors. They are fresh from winning 1-0 at playoff hopefuls Swansea in their last trip. On top of that, Birmingham have conceded a single goal in their last three, losing to nil in their last three home meetings with Millwall.
Swindon Town will host Bradford City for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. I expect, this will be a very tense match. Both sides are one of the ambitious teams in this campaign. Swindon is the best team of the league. Hosts have a great attack. I expect, they will try to dominate from the start match. They tend to score a goal. However, this will not be an easy task. Bradford are in solid shape. The visitors are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Also, Bradford have a solid defense. No doubt, the visitors have a very difficult task. Nevertheless, they will in this match seek their chance.
Hamilton went back to their losing ways last week as they were unable to cause Rangers any real trouble, as the club ended up losing 3-1 to the Gers. The Accies are yet to win away from home this season, although they've only lost 3 of their 6 away games.
It also placed them in serious danger of recording their worst league finish since 1994-95 - the season in which George Graham was sacked and they ended up 12th. That threat is far from over but what is just a third away win in 16 fixtures this season, coming from a much more assured performance, will bring at least a small injection of confidence and calm. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, in for the injured Bernd Leno, was solid, Granit Xhaka returned effectively in midfield and Nketiah and Aubameyang were typically lively in attack.
Unlike the hosts, who're probably feeling relatively anxious ahead of this make-or-break game, the visitors will be nice and relaxed, safe in the knowledge that they're through no matter what happens in Germany.

As a child growing up in Cameroon, Elokobi had to come to terms with the death of his father, grandad and uncle all in the space of a few months. He moved to England at the age of 16 to start a new life and lived with his mother in Brixton. I did not get in trouble, I did not get mixed up in gangs when there was peer pressure to do so," added Elokobi. I chose to lead myself but not in an arrogant way.
Speaking ahead of United’s Boxing Day game against Newcastle United, Solskjaer did not hold back his excitement at having the World Cup winner back following a length recovery from a foot injury and a brief illness. Video - 'Liverpool and Chelsea target opens door to big January move' - Euro Papers01:48 United have an excellent record against the teams above them, undefeated for the season, but they have repeatedly failed to convince against the traditionally smaller sides below them in the league.
Will that perturb them? A little, perhaps, but not a lot. What they did on Thursday was a cause for cheer. Rangers are due great credit for bouncing back from the angst of Sunday's League Cup final. Morelos is due the greatest credit of all. A player who missed so many chances against Celtic, and who missed another decent one early on against Young Boys, brushed it all aside to get the pivotal goal.
Burton's chances of improving on their respectable 9th place finish seem quite slim given their performances during the first half of the campaign. By no means a bad side, The Brewers have struggled to put together a string of wins, which is why they're narrowly outside the top half and are six points shy of the coveted play-off places.

An extremely interesting meeting is taking place in the Russian highest division tomorrow between Zenit and Spartak Moscow. Spartak Moscow had a peak for a couple of seasons ago but has not really started since then. Zenit is always a top team and I think they will win this match. The question is by how much. I think AH-1 is a good game in this match as I am absolutely sure that Zenit wins.
Osasuna are having a good season so far for sure. They are at the 11th place and their main task to avoid relegation is completed as they don't have to worry unless some miracle happens. Also it is not very realistic to expect from them to fight for a spot at the European league. Madrid on the other hand are in must win situation. They are at the 6th place so far and it looks like they will have tough time this season so from now on every point matter for them for sure. There is no room for another mistake here for Someone and his boys.
Wimbledon have won four of their last five at home, beating some very useful sides. Moreover, Oxford have shown they're far from infallible of late, especially on the road, where they've failed to win three of their last five, drawing against both Accrington and Portsmouth and losing to MK Dons, who as we all know are struggling badly. Going against The U's right now won't be for everyone, but based on the recent efforts of both, the hosts are worth backing to avoid defeat in front of a home crowd.
It is a problem," Guardiola said. I don't know if he will be fit for the Madrid game. City winger Leroy Sane is still on the road to recovery as he stepped up his comeback from a serious knee injury that required surgery last year, but Guardiola said it would be "weeks" before he was ready to return to action.
The goal drew an intense reaction from City, as Fernandinho hit the post and the in-form Alex McCarthy kept out David Silva's header in the aftermath. The visitors rarely let up thereafter but were repeatedly left frustrated by Saints goalkeeper McCarthy, whose one-handed save from Gabriel Jesus in the second half was the pick of several superb stops. Southampton had chances of their own amid the increasing City pressure but neither Nathan Redmond nor Danny Ings could convert rare opportunities, while Ederson was alert to Stuart Armstrong's swerving shot.
Festive trips to Everton and Bournemouth follow. The odds: Emery, midway through his second season in charge, is currently second-favourite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, after Silva. Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is ahead of Manchester City assistant Arteta and former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri in the list of frontrunners to replace the Spaniard, while Rafael Benitez, who left Newcastle in the summer, and former player Freddie Ljungberg are also believed to be in the running.

Rashford restored United's advantage from the spot just after the break, having won the penalty himself, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side were able to hold on for a big win and move above Spurs in the table. Mourinho had won his first three games as Tottenham boss but you would never have guessed it on this evidence, with his team thoroughly outplayed and forcing David De Gea to make few saves.
Club Guarani welcome Olimpia Asuncion in the 4th round of the Paraguayan Apertura. Both have 2-1-0 so far and they are ranked second and third. The advantage, however, is with the visitors this time around. The home side was involved in the Copa Libertadores games and they won over Corinthians just a few days ago. The home coach will rotate players and he mentions 5 regulars to be out. Guarani plays better this season and they managed to beat Cerro Porteno. They won the previous 5 games. Olimpia is again good and they don`t have the Libertadores yet. Rocket Santa Cruz is on fire in Olympia and has scored 5 goals in 3 matches. This game can be highly entertaining at times. I see goals today.
The games come thick and fast and this was one of the games we needed to get something and we didn't. We need to learn our lessons. The strength of the squad has been knocked and that allows a feeling of feeling sorry for yourself if you don't get the results you want. But we have to go again, find the inner strength and keep going. Man of the match - Aaron Mooy Stylish Brighton midfielder Aaron Mooy pulled the strings and scored his first goal for the clubMatch stats - Brighton end long wait for win over BournemouthThis was Brighton's first league win over Bournemouth since a 3-2 win at the old Withdean Stadium in League One on New Year's Day 2008.
Milan have scored in 26 of the last 27 away matches against Atalanta in Serie A, losing only four games (W16, D7). Since the start of September, only Juve have shut out Milan in an away clash. With that record behind them, we see goals here. These two have seen both teams score in four of their last five, so we’re backing BTTS in this one.
Both of these teams have been very strong when it comes to scoring goals this season. They are both near the top of the table and both actually need to win this match to keep top 4 hopes alive. Chelsea probably need the win more as the gap between them and some other teams is getting a little to close. The Chelsea team have this need to be able to score and at least try to win the match and this could see them scoring the goal needed to beat the over of 0.5 goals in this match to start the month.
Missing ballots & bullying claims - FridayVote day. Remember that 17:00 deadline? Well, not long after that, the SPFL released a statement confirming they had only received replies from 39 of the 42 clubs, but that the threshold for passing the plan had been met in the Premiership and in Leagues One and Two regardless. But what about the Championship? Eight clubs were needed to vote 'yes' for it to pass.
I think particularly now, as a parent, it starts to make you look a bit more to the future at what kind of world we are going to hand over to the next generation. There's been a lot of time to think - and you can also have too much time to think, and that's also what worries me. He is in the 'yes to crowd noise' campWilliam says he really missed football during its hiatus. I was trying to pretend I didn't care too much it wasn't around," he says.
Deportivo La Coruna will host Rayo Vallecano for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be tense match for both sides. No doubt, both teams have the motivation to get a positive result in this match. Hosts have a very difficult task. Deportivo is one of the teams of relegation zone. They are currently on the 19th place with 37 points. On the other hand Rayo Vallecano are more ambitious team in this season. Rayo Vallecano are currently on the 8th place with 47 points. However, they have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. I think, the hosts want to stay in the league. My pick - Deportivo La Coruna to win.
Olympic played in the promotion playoff, while IFK Malmo was fighting relegation in the play out, of the recent season in Vastra Gotaland. However, rivals are from the same town, and they should be playing this friendly, in order to check all the players, in front of the begin of the new season.
Casillas, who led Spain to unprecedented success as they won Euro 2008 and 2012 as well as the 2010 World Cup, suffered a heart attack in May while training with current club Porto, and has not played since.

Macabi haosa is best team in the league after Maccabi Tel Aviv and especially at home they are very strong and in good shape so it is not a surprise that they are big favorites for the win tonight but also it is not going to be a surprise for me if they don't win, cause on the other hand,Hapoel haifa is in very good shape and surely they Will be very motivated even to win tonight but I don t think that is going to happen, so I think draw is most realistic result in this one and I recommend it

In second-half injury time, the Egyptian added a second, collecting a square pass from Firmino and bundling it home. TALKING POINT Should Southampton have had a penalty? Small moments decide matches and Southampton could well have had a penalty just seconds before Liverpool opened the scoring, with Danny Ings going down under Fabinho’s challenge.
We played well but lost the game. It happened again. They had two shots and scored two goals. I don't have too many things to say about the performance. We have to accept it and analyse it. It is not easy. We did really well, honestly. With this performance, how should I be critical? This performance would be an incredible mistake to say how bad they are.

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.
