Jack Grealish is another who continues to impress. He has created 68 chances in the league this season, more than any other English player, but with Villa not playing due to the League Cup final next weekend and games against Leicester and Chelsea to follow he may be another to avoid. After their game against Manchester City on Saturday, Leicester face Norwich, Aston Villa, Watford and Brighton in their next four games so the likes of James Maddison and Ayoze Perez are worth a look.
The pair of them were at RB Salzburg together and while Minamino’s £7. Haaland and hit the ground running in Germany, where he can’t stop scoring. Getty Images Paper Round’s view: Minamino has an advantage in that Liverpool are already a high-functioning side on the way to winning the Premier League, and he there is little pressure for him to hit his top form right away.
Leicester battled their way to a 2-1 win at West Ham before sweeping Newcastle aside 3-0 at St. James' Park shortly after, and the Foxes completed their hattrick of victories with a comfortable 2-0 triumph over Wigan in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Left-back Luke Shaw, one of those players below par in the opening period, drove behind the Canaries backline and fired in a cross that was played by Juan Mata into the path of Ighalo, who produced a clever finish. That was the Nigerian loan signing's fifth goal in just five cup competition matches for United. But instead of building on that advantage, United retreated into their shell again allowing Norwich to get back into the game.
But first we must decide who plays who in a process you can watch the draw live on Eurosport and on the Eurosport Player. The draw will consist of two pots, one containing the seeded teams who won their group and one containing the unseeded teams of group runners-up. When is the Champions League draw? The draw for the first round of the knockout stages of the Champions League will take place on Monday December 19 at 11am.
Both teams are separated by a mere one point in the league table and are desperate to pull away from the relegation zone. St Mirren doesn't have it easy as their away record is the worst in the league and are yet to gain a point on their travels. Hamilton hasn't covered themselves in glory either in their recent home ties, although the Accies have scored in four of their last five games. We're going to back both teams to score, as it has happened in 63% of the hosts’ games at New Douglas Park, as well as in St Mirren's two most recent away trips. We're also backing a final score of 1-1, with Hamilton scoring 1.13 on average of letting in 1.5, with the Buddies netting 0.63 goals too.
Wales have won eight of their last nine internationals against France. France haven't won in Cardiff since 2010. Wales are unbeaten in their last seven home games in the Six Nations. Week three of the 2020 Six Nations tournament is a vital one for both Wales and France. Wales are the defending champions but have one win and one loss from their two games this year.
He said: "There are a lot of teams at the top who are looking tired. Then you look at Liverpool and the way they came back to win late at Crystal Palace. We don't think about these things'A huge sigh of relief could be heard around Anfield when referee Martin Atkinson sounded the final whistle on Saturday. Liverpool had the points and Klopp joined his players on the pitch to applaud the fans - the German preferring to concentrate on the positives afterwards.
Real Esteli fc u20 is going to take on Diriangen u20 fc to enter into their second leg game, the hosts have lost their last head to head game away to Diriangen by one goal so I think it will be like a wounded lion which needs a revenge so I think they are going to win this game by two or more goals.

Mirandes are 10th in the second-tier with their opponents currently third in La Liga. Mirandes are only two points behind the final promotion play-off position. They'd be closer but for drawing ten league games this season including each of their last three. To reach the last sixteen of the Copa del Rey, Mirandes needed a 92nd minute equalizer at third-tier Coruxo in the first round, eventually winning 5-4 after extra time.
Chelsea say Hudson-Odoi "displayed symptoms similar to a mild cold on Monday morning" and stayed away from the the training ground. The club added that the player is "doing well and looking forward to returning to the training ground as soon as it is possible". Chelsea's full squad has gone into isolation. The Gunners have closed their training ground and club staff who had recent contact with Arteta will also self-isolate.
Liverpool have confirmed their 20-man travelling squad for the Club World Cup in Qatar, with Georginio Wijnaldum included but Dejan Lovren missing out. Youngsters Rhian Brewster, Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Neco Williams had originally been named in the squad but only Williams has been retained. Liverpool meet Monterrey on Wednesday in a match that will be shown live on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer at 17:30 GMT.
In the four seasons we've had that we've managed to stay in the Premier League. Howe told reporters. It's just we've managed to keep our heads above the line in all of those seasons. So in other people's eyes. The reality is it's always been tight and we've just managed to get a big result when we needed it.
Just one more effort is needed for West Bromwich Albion. They should have clinched promotion already but two draws and a loss in their last three games have seen them stagger rather than march towards the Premier League. A home game against a QPR side with little to play for is an ideal final fixture. Their home record is good and QPR aren't always at their best away from home with only 23 goals scored. It might not look pretty but Albion can get the vital win.

Gennaro Gattuso was looking for a reaction from his side after they fell to a shock 3-2 defeat at home by Lecce last weekend, and Mertens’ curling shot on the 65th minute was enough to edge them to victory. The Belgian's goal was a rare moment of quality in a keenly contested encounter, and moved him to within one goal of Marek Hamsik's club record tally of 121 strikes for the club.
Liverpool celebrated receiving the title trophy for the first time in 30 years in style as the new Premier League champions overcame Chelsea in a thriller at Anfield. Jordan Henderson - currently out injured - received the trophy from Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish on a special podium built on the Kop after Jurgen Klopp's side made it three full unbeaten Premier League seasons at Anfield. Chelsea, who now need a point from their final game at home to Wolves on Sunday to confirm a place in the top four - and next season's Champions League - started well.

We do not have the rhythm this season and maybe not the individual quality to win four, five games in a row. We just have to admit that to ourselves. But he sounded confident his team would stay up. We will celebrate big in the end. This is a season where a lot has gone against us, both from outside and internally," he added.
Smouha have been in great form at home of late and they've been given a good opportunity to extend their winning run. For those interested in getting involved, the home win appears to be the best option. El Gouna did recently win on the road but their overall lack of goals doesn't bode well, especially since Smouha have been scoring with regularity at home. Smouha' extra attacking quality can allow them to get the better of a visiting side that has scored in just one out of four on the road this term.
Another very good odds on goals in one match from Germany Bundesliga and another duel, where I will not complicate anything - I will just bet on goals, what is for me very real. So, let's try from the home team and that is team who is not in good form, because they are lost last two matches, 0-2 and 0-4. Of course, they are now under pressure and we will see what will happen. Hoffenheim is better team, who is few days ago lost previous match in Cup against Bayern Munich 4-3 at Allianz Stadium. Over is ok here, really is.
Both teams are very strong defensively and with that I expect them to have difficulties scoring. Juventus has difficulty to score a lot of goals has we have seen in Serie A where they face weaker teams but are not able to score a lot with a lot of teams having scored more goals than then even with then in first place. Atletico Madrid is the same exact thing they only look for the goal when they really need it. Most of the time the control the ball possession but are not really dangerous. That being said I think the draw will benefit both and it is worth it

Orebro will against Bridge in match Sweden Cup. My prediction this match could be the won for Orebro with margin score is 2 goals. Orebro have great result on last match when Orebro meet Oskarshamns in Sweden Cup due to Orbero have won with score 1-4. Meanwhile, Brage have not good result on last match due to Bridge has just beaten from Elfsborg with score 3-0. Therefore, I'm sure that Orebro can beat Brage on this match due to Orebro have play in league Sweden Allsvenskan. Meanwhile, Brage only play in match Sweden Superettan. Surely Orebro will more strong rather than Brage.
According to championship table High ranking(Nottingham Forest 4th position) against middle ranking(Cardiff city 11th position ) , Nottingham Forest better away while Cardiff better at home, so that is poor form home against poor form Away. Looking on the form and the kind of losses, I came to conclusion that Cardiff were not just lucky playing 7th Bristol city and 6th Swansea as they list just 1-0 on both, again we can summarize that they have lost to high ranking. Yes Nottingham is high ranked but don't forget Cardiff are head to head favorite and also dominated last season. Nottingham Forest lost low ranking so far 22nd Luton 29th Wigan and 14 Hull city, 80% of these meeting have gone to Cardiff favor.
They have six wins in their last 10 matches and have just two losses in the last 15 matches, with 10 wins therein. However, they have just two clean sheets in the last 15 matches. They have scored three or more goals in their last four matches. Nine of their last 10 matches have produced over 2. Playing at home, City have seven wins and two losses in the last 10 matches.
The RFEF added that the team will play another friendly later in March, which has not yet been announced. The two sides last met in a friendly in Dusseldorf in March 2018, which ended 1-1. Their last competitive meeting was in the 2010 World Cup semi-finals, which Spain won 1-0 on their way to lifting the trophy for the first time.
Vicente Iborra pulled one back but it mattered little to Real as the club wrapped up their 34th Spanish title. Zidane's side have won all 10 of their matches since Spanish football restarted in June. They head into the final day of the season with an unassailable seven-point lead over second-placed Barcelona. This is better than anything. It takes a tremendous effort to win La Liga," said the Real Madrid boss.
Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has been banned for eight matches and fined £60,000 after being found guilty of racially abusing Charlton Athletic forward Jonathan Leko. The 33-year-old, who denied the charge, has also been ordered to attend a face-to-face education session. The incident took place in Charlton's 1-0 win over the Whites at The Valley on 28 September. The charge was found proven by an independent regulatory commission.

Spanish publication AS report that Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is ready to end the Brazilian's La Liga stay, 18 months on from his £142m move from Liverpool. Pogba's United career over: report Paul Pogba's controversial stint at Manchester United is nearing an end, The Sun have reported. Both parties are eager to secure a parting of the ways, according to the tabloid, with United prepared to listen to offers of around £100 million for the Frenchman, who moved to Old Trafford from Juventus for £89m in June 2016.
Last night, West Brom had an opportunity. With Leeds dropping points again, to nobody’s great shock, a win away at 16th place Reading would move them six points clear of what is becoming a frankly murderous bunfight. Two teams on 56 points, two on 54, another two on 53? No thanks. So obviously, after 11 minutes the leaders were a goal down.
Real Madrid and Valencia troop to this game on good form and will be hoping to get the edge here. Real are definitely favorites, and they have the better run but they will have it tough playing away to Valencia. Hosts Valencia have a good run at home and they will want to extend it against a Real Madrid side with an equally good run away from home. What stands out here though is the amount of goals involved in these teams’ matches. Seven of Valencia’s last 10 have yielded over 2.5 goals and the same applies to Real’s last 10. They have registered over 2.5 goals in 11 of the last 12 meetings as well. Based on that, we will go with a bet of over 2.5 goals here.

The visitors are well placed to take advantage of Birmingham’s troubles at home. Leeds have won 11 league games away from home in 2019 – their most in a calendar year since 2009 when they were in League One (also 12, excluding play-offs). They bridge the New Year with a hat-trick of away matches, starting at St Andrew’s. A quick return to the midlands to face West Brom is followed by an FA Cup clash at Arsenal.
Lisbon is the favourite to host an eight-team Champions League knockout tournament in August, if it is given the go-ahead by governing body Uefa. Uefa is planning to move the final from Istanbul, where it was due to be held on 30 May, for the new format. The Europa League final, due to be held in Gdansk, Poland on 27 May, is likely to be moved to Germany. Europe's continental cup competitions were stopped in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Last week I singled out Mason Holgate for special praise against Chelsea - this week it's Yerry Mina. Had the Colombia international got his block on Greenwood's shot the Duncan Ferguson roadshow would have continued unblemished and experienced a rare victory against Manchester United. Nevertheless Mina did enough to keep Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford quiet, something Chelsea and Manchester City failed to do.
The Catalans, who have won the Copa del Rey a record 30 times, will visit the island side, who play in Spain's fourth tier, on Jan. Barca captain Lionel Messi, fellow striker Luis Suarez and others from the team are regular visitors to the Spanish party island in the close season. Real Madrid will travel to Unionistas de Salamanca, the fan-owned club formed from the ashes of UD Salamanca, which folded in 2013.
GOAL FOR ATALANTA! Hat-trick for Ilicic. Zapata's cross takes a deflection falls to him and he fires the ball into the bottom corner. GOAL FOR ATALANTA! Another goal for Ilicic with a first time strike into the top corner from inside the box from Freuler's lay off. KEY STATS Josip Iličić has become the oldest player to score an away Champions League hat-trick, aged 32 years and 41 days.
Hope Powell's squad in 2012 was largely represented by English players - only two from Scotland featured and none from Wales or Northern Ireland. But other home nations are on the up now. Scotland competed in their first World Cup last year, while Wales narrowly missed out on a play-off spot and FAW chief Jonathan Ford has vowed to increase funding for women's football. Eleven of the players in last summer's Scotland squad currently play in the WSL, as well as former Manchester City forward Claire Emslie, who is on loan at Melbourne City from Orlando Pride.
However, the likelihood of getting points against City seems slim. While Pep Guardiola's team have been subpar this season, they reminded everyone of their quality by destroying Liverpool 4-0 last week. The imperious Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in the world and he's been in tremendous form since the restart, scoring four goals in five matches.
In this match I think it is pretty realistic to say we are going to see goals on both sides because brescia is in relegation zone and the need to attack the team which is in so bad shape as Cagliari is and I surely expect from them to score but on the other hand brescia defense is so bad that it is very hard to expect from them to keep the clean score heat and I don't think 1 1 is going to be correct score of this one so I decided to go with over 2.5 and I surely recommend it to anyone
