Abha is doing the best job in the first league from the newly promoted clubs they are safe from relegation with 23 points, 7 points more than the bottom 4 clubs, this even though they lost two games in a row at home last one a difficult one against the league leaders from Al-Hilal in which they did score to their credit and lost 2-1 in the end. But back in the start of this season they won 2-1 away from home at Al Wahda.
Also health issues - if we do go back to the season, can it work? Will it work? What about my family? All those sort of 'what if' questions kept coming up. From the former players, it was questions about employment. A lot of them are self-employed, coaches, taxi drivers and stuff like that. They were having emotional issues because of the financial impact that they couldn't work. In the first quarter of this year, 299 players had accessed support, compared with 653 in the whole of 2019, the union said.
Luton have conceded at least three goals in four of their last five away trips. The visitors have also failed to score in 46% of their trips, losing to nil in four of their last five. We see them losing heavily to a Millwall side who are on the up. We are going with a 3-0 victory for the home side, who should become the latest to breeze past this Luton team.
Dudelange are also not in contention as far as qualifying is concerned. Thursday's visitors have unsurprisingly fallen short at this level, though even if they lose this match, they won't exit the competition without a win, as they got the better of APOEL on match-day one.
The winter break is coming at a perfect time for us to integrate Bruno into the squad and for him to get to know his team mates. Fernandes has been capped 19 times by Portugal and was part of the squad that won the inaugural Nations League last year. He becomes United's first signing of the transfer window and will strengthen the midfield in the absence of injured Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.

They are 7-8 for the season and travel to Denver Broncos who are 6-9 and third in the same division. The Broncos are 11th overall in the AFC, with their opponents in eighth. They have missed the play-offs for the fourth straight season and have had problems at quarterback for most of the year. Their season got off to a poor start losing their first four games, since then though they have won six out of 11 matches.

It is 30 years since the Paisley side had last win in the east end of Glasgow - a young Paul Lambert putting the final goal past Pat Bonner in a 3-0 win. In the here and now, Celtic were aiming to go 16 points clear at the top for 24 hours at least, with St Mirren looking for anything to ease their relegation fears. Although history hung heavy against the visitors, Jim Goodwin's side began the match well as they sported a sturdy back three with the wingbacks getting St Mirren up the field.
But it doesn’t make me anymore concerned that it’s December, no. Solskjaer slams 'blatant lies' Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has slammed the "blatant lies" after his future at the club was once more cast under the spotlight. I'm good, it's absolutely no problem," said Solskjaer. Sometimes you laugh when you read stories about what I've said and stuff.
Remember: Messi has already won, apparently. Big Virg? Of course, it's not just Messi in the hunt for the Ballon d'Or. Liverpool supremo Virgil van Dijk is also hoping to scoop football's most coveted individual prize - and his team-mate James Milner is backing him. Happy Ballon d'or Day! What a time to be alive.

Which is pretty terrifying but also perhaps a sign that we shouldn’t put too much pressure on him by hastily comparing him to previous Manchester United greats. So presumably when it was put to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that comparisons could be made between Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo, he straight-batted the question and insisted that these sort of things are very premature and let’s not be too hasty, right? "It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yes.
Davies was substituted in the 75th minute of the 3-2 win at West Ham United last weekend and the Wales defender left the London Stadium on crutches with his foot in a protective boot. The 26-year-old missed out on Tuesday's 4-2 Champions League home win over Olympiakos Piraeus which took Spurs into the last 16 of Europe's elite club competition.
Liverpool moved 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League after claiming a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Tottenham. The Reds could have led inside two minutes, but the hosts' 20-year-old debutant Japhet Tanganga brilliantly blocked Roberto Firmino's goal-bound shot before Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's follow-up hit the post.

Until UEFA handed out its ban on Friday citing breaches of its Financial Fair Play regulations, the focus at City was on how they might strengthen their squad to make a stronger bid next season. If the club cannot offer players European competition, however, they may find it harder to attract the talent Guardiola needs to catch up with Liverpool.
I've got to pat them on the back for everything they've done for the people at the club, the town, and everyone who was made redundant that's for sure. Cook added: "We always have a strong record at the DW Stadium. It's an absolute shame that the supporters will not be in the stadium, but we know where they are, we know they'll be sitting at home and we'll be getting all their support and their energy that will see us get over the line.
This night will be played few games from the program of the tournament for Copa Sudamericana at South America. At this game rivals will be the teams of River Plate which is from Paraguay and Deportivo Cali which is from Colombia.
But this reckoned without the input of Zaha and Benteke. Zaha's goal was a superb strike, fiercely fired into the net via the crossbar from an unlikely distance. Benteke's was more routine, tapped in from point-blank range following a neat move, but almost as surprising, it being his first goal at Selhurst Park since April 2018. And Palace came within a whisker of snatching a point when Scott Dann's back-post header struck the inside of the post before Chelsea hacked the ball clear.
I have a contract with City now and I have to respect this. Real Madrid are a fantastic club. When you see the white shirt you know exactly what the club stands for, it's massive. Guardiola said of the interview: "It's normal in the Madrid media to speak about Madrid, that's normal. I'm completely sure (of) the commitment of our players, it's about what they've shown for many years, nothing changes.
Here's what interim boss Freddie Ljungberg said at the break that turned things around, according to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. At half-time, Freddie told us to play with a higher tempo. It was tough but we have the quality in the squad, and if we believe in ourselves, we can go forward and win games," Aubameyang said.
Tips are going to face TPS in the cup match in Finland. The hosts of this match play regularly in the third division of Finland and of course, they are lower rank teams than TPS. However, this match is a cup game so everything is possible. I think that Tips might lose this match against TPS but I don't think that they will lose by more than 3 goals. They should score at least one because they play at home and the visitors always struggle on away even against weaker teams. My bet here is Asian handicap +2.5 for Tips
It has been many years since the sort of emotion on show was commonplace on the blue side of Merseyside and it all stemmed from having one of their own in charge. But not just any old ex-player, one who always gave his all for the cause, Duncan Ferguson – and how the fans and the players responded. Everton made more tackles in the match than they had managed in any other league game in the past 11 years and the fans loved it, just as they did in the glory years of the 1980s under another beloved former player, Howard Kendall.
Nottingham U23 and Burnley U23 will face each other in the upcoming match in the Professional Development League. Nottingham U23 this season have the following results: 8W, 5D and 1L. Meanwhile Burnley U23 have 8W, 8D and 0L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt will face each other in the upcoming match in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen this season have the following results: 13W, 5D and 6L. Meanwhile Eintracht Frankfurt have 8W, 4D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
PSG have made a habit of battering St. Etienne in recent years and more of the same is expected there. 'PSG to Win & Over 3.5 Goals' stands out as a viable option. The hosts are away and clear in the league, so there's no reason for them not to focus on this game. The same cannot be said for St. Etienne, who're jostling for position in and among a pack of teams marooned mid-table. Not only did PSG scored four goals with relative ease against St. Etienne less than a month ago, but four in three of their last five at home. Ligue 1's best home team, in terms of shots for, shots on target for and goals for, is backed to once again seriously damage a visiting side that ranks as one of the worst in numerous areas.
Manchester City would prefer to let winger Leroy Sane enter the final year of his contract rather than let him leave cheaply for Bayern Munich. Bayern have been interested in Sane for 12 months, with the player understood to be keen to return to Germany. Manager Pep Guardiola sees the 24-year-old as a key part of his squad, though. While it is not out of the question City would sell if the price was right, speculation regarding a £35m bid from Bayern is understood to be wrong.
Gloucester and Gateshead will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League North. Gloucester this season have the following results: 8W, 5D and 15L. Meanwhile Gateshead have 13W, 9D and 6L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
The 1-1 draw at the first leg brought many advantages to Palestine when they had 90 minutes at home. While Palestino cannot play at home to Cisterna, they play at Carlos de Apoquindo in Santiago. In the play-off round, Palestino defeated Talleres (Argentina) 2-1 at home to gain access to the group stage. 3 home games in the group stage last season, Palestino beat Alianza Lima, the rest lost to International and River Plate too strong. Currently, Palestino is also very good at home when unbeaten 5 matches, winning the last 3 matches but having 3/5 conceded. This shows that the ability of the host to win a victory in 90 minutes is still possible.
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.

Matej Vydra (2011-) Watford, Reading, Derby. Promotion (2014-15), team of the season (2012-13, 2017-18), player of the year (2012-13)Czech striker Vydra has enjoyed three champagne Championship seasons this decade, being named player of the season in 2012-13 as his 22 goals took Watford to the play-off final and helping the Hornets go up in 2014-15, before finishing 2017-18 as the league's top scorer with Derby.
The visitors come into this match having lost just one of their last five league matches and, although they have conceded in 89% of their away matches so far, the fact that they have scored in 75% of their matches on the road means that they will be confident in their ability to get the three points.
It was a result that gave Everton's hierarchy vital breathing space to assess their options in replacing Silva, who was sacked after 18 months in charge following the 5-2 Merseyside derby defeat by Liverpool at Anfield. Everton owner Farhad Moshiri was delighted with how Ferguson had such an instant impact on their fortunes but it is still their intention to appoint a permanent manager as soon as possible.
Benfica have won ten out of 11 away league games. Benfica have won eight of their last nine away league games against Vitoria Setubal. Vitoria Setubal have only two points from their last five league games. Vitoria Setubal have only scored six home league goals all season. Vitoria Setubal are struggling in the bottom half of the Portuguese Primeira League.
We have instead opted to do more technical details that prioritised the players familiarising themselves with the ball once again - touch, passing and shooting. La Liga players returned to training at the end of MayPlayers have finished training more tired than usual, and we have also put in place ice therapy for everyone because temperatures have risen considerably and we are going to have to play our matches in temperatures of around 30 degrees and even more in the months of June and July.
Cantwell's shines in Norwich exit Media playback is not supported on this device 'What a strike' Cantwell scores long-range equaliser Norwich, like United, made changes to their XI with Farke bringing back first-team trio Emiliano Buendia, Teemu Pukki and Cantwell into the fold - the latter two who helped Norwich make that brilliant start to the season. Finn Pukki, who has now not found the net in the past nine matches, struggled again, but his 22-year-old team-mate improved as the game wore on.
Aston Villa, for all their troubles, have managed to win three home matches this season, and they tend to perform well against teams of a similar stature. These victories have come against the likes of Newcastle, Brighton and Everton, and they have only lost two of their seven games against teams in the bottom 11.
DISALLOWED GOAL! West Ham looked to have nicked a point. It starts with a brilliant, winding run from the otherwise anonymous Declan Rice after winning the ball deep in Sheffield United's half. He slips a pass to Snodgrass in the area on the right. He hammers a low shot that beats Henderson at his near post and trickles in off the post.
Erik Pieters, who replaced Taylor, picked up a knock late in the same game but Dyche is optimistic that the Dutchman can shake it off in time for the visit of third-placed City. Ashley Westwood is a doubt with a slight groin problem while fellow midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson is recovering from a hamstring injury he picked up on duty with Iceland.
Leeds have been passing up the chance to close in on the top two and take control of the promotion race. They have been poor on the road of late, handing the initiative to their rivals in the Premier League chase. However, can the visitors sort out their problems away from home when they make this visit to Luton on Saturday?
The hosts haven’t lost at home against MVV in 8 matches and over the pairs’ last 17 encounters Roda have claimed 8 wins, 5 draws, and have only suffered 4 defeats. Roda average 1.20 points per home game and have a win rate of 30% while MVV only average 0.40 points per away game and boast a losing rate of 80%, so you can see why we are backing the hosts with a double chance bet this weekend.
Espanyol appeared doomed for further failure after Mata's goal just three minutes in for Getafe at RCDE Stadium last weekend, but Periquitos found a way back into the contest thanks to Wu Lei's strike on the brink of half time. Pablo Machin's side grew in confidence during the second half and were the better team for large parts of the final 45 minutes, but they failed to break through again meaning the spoils were shared at full time.
Ismaila Sarr is a crazy good talent, he's so calm in front of goal and has electric pace. Buzzing. It's not hard is it, football? We stuck to our task and took our chances when they came. Firing blanks - the statsWatford are the first side to beat Liverpool in the Premier League since Manchester City in January 2019, ending the joint-longest winning streak (18) and the second longest unbeaten run (44) in English top-flight history.
