THURSDAY Sheff Utd v NewcastleSheffield United keep on picking up points and I am very aware I have not tipped them enough to win (in the league table below, which is based on Lawro's predictions) this season. I keep thinking they will run out of steam but that has not happened, and they have already shown that they are far better than I thought they were. I thought they would stay up but I did not expect them to be as high as they are, and they just look so comfortable at this level.
They take blood tests to tell people they’re tired in football. What a load of rubbish! You’re inside your hotel room and your adrenaline tells you that you want to play because you want to try and win a game of football and progress. Players can play football and yes, they will get injured when they’re tired and managers can say: ‘He’s tired he could get a strain’.
A little is due, perhaps, for them recognising their mistake – whatever their motivation, and it would admittedly be very naive to assume their motivation was altruistic and not just a PR consideration – but not too much. You don’t praise a burglar for putting your TV back. But it’s a welcome step nonetheless for a club who sell themselves on being a community institution, and on Bill Shankly’s socialism.

The visitors come into this clash in storming form, which has carried them into contention for the top three in Ligue 1. The visitors have won six of their last seven matches in the league, a brilliant record which has pushed them just a point shy of the Champions League places. With their Europa League fate sealed they can focus on domestic affairs, including this competition.
Today will be played both re-games at the tournament for the Cup of Belarus. At this one rivals will be the teams of Shakhtyor Soligorsk and Dinamo Brest. The first game played 3 weeks ago ended 2-0 for Dinamo Brest.
Al-Ain will host Al-Thuqbah for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Al-Ain is main favorites in this campaign. They are currently on the 1st position with 27 points. Hosts are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Al-Thuqbah who's is also ambitious team in this league. However, they have a very average results in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 23 points. Visitors have highly variable results. Also, Al-Thuqbah is not very good team away from home. My pick - Al-Ain to win.
GOAL! Great finish from Daniel James! He runs down the left, into the middle, and gets his shot away, holding off the defenders - and he looks so relieved to have broken that drought. POST! Oh, and that's close for Ighalo! He hits the post to the keeper's left. GOAL! Yet another lovely goal - great ball from Fred through to Juan Mata, and slotted home beautifully.
Portsmouth have long been a very strong team at Fratton Park, but they continue to be a much lesser side away from home. Kenny Jackett's men possess League 1's third-best home record this term, but they rank as just the 17th best team on the road. They've claimed just nine travelling points this term.
Third-placed Leicester had looked nailed-on for a top-four finish but a four-game run without a win had allowed Chelsea and Manchester United to start breathing down their necks. Victory re-established a healthy buffer though. They are eight points above in-form United who are fifth and five ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea with nine games remaining.
The game will be shown live on BBC Four, iPlayer and online from 19:00 GMT. It would have been an unbelievable ask for her to start against the USA and to come off the back of a Continental Cup final," added Neville. She is still in that period of getting used to the surroundings. We have got to think about the long-term for Beth. We know her qualities and the improvements in her. I just want her to do what she does for Chelsea [on Sunday].
Maritimo have lost half of their away trips this season, including each of their last two. The visitors have failed to win any of their last seven away games in all competitions, while they have won just twice across their last 15 games away from home across all competition. That’s left them 14th in the away results table this season.

Arsenal are ten points adrift of fourth place and eight behind the Europa League position with a game in hand. They have drawn their last four league games but are unbeaten in five. Home form has seen Arsenal win just one of their last eight in the Premier League but four points have come from their last two.
If we manage to do it, it will be a huge lift, most importantly for the supporters and the club. We'd certainly benefit from that as a group. We've been together for 18/19 months now and we've definitely progressed. We've become better and we're now competitive; we've shown on the European stage against high-level opposition that we can compete and win. Domestically, I think there's more respect for Rangers now.
But the bottom line is that Van Dijk has played in every single league game and I don't think they would have won the title without him. With 33 goals conceded in 38 games, Liverpool had the best defensive record in the Premier League this seasonHis presence gives confidence to everyone who plays around him - he has played with four difference centre-backs this season and it hasn't mattered, because of how good he is.

Was good because we managed to win some nice things. But on the opposite side I learned and I feel that I'm a better coach now than I was then. The important thing is after you are sacked you don't blame. You try to prepare for the future by analysing what happened in the past. Tottenham have shown an immediate improvement under Mourinho, scoring 10 goals in three games, albeit conceding six.
The win, Brighton's first at home in four games, lifted them up to 13th in the standings while Bournemouth remained in 16th -- two points above the relegation zone -- after their seventh loss in nine games.

Marseille have been impressing in attack recently with five goals in their last three games but there is still work to be done in a number of areas. Firstly, the defence is still their Achilles' heel as they have just two clean sheets in their last ten games, both coming against teams in the bottom five. Secondly, their away form has been pretty disastrous in recent weeks compared to their performances at home. Villas-Boas' men are unbeaten in their last six games at the Stade Velodrome (W4+D2) but are winless in their last four games on the road (L3+D1).
The same aerial threat happened on Sunday, only this time Rangers made it count. Christopher Jullien and Ajer weren't always alive to the movement around them. They got away with it before, but not this time. No wonder Gerrard reacted the way he did on full-time. Some demons from Hampden were exorcised in that moment. Gerrard will have known that the only way to hurt Celtic - truly hurt them - was to go to their own place and beat them.
I think it might have been Andy Carroll’s initial idea. Andy of course, has known George since he was a kid. Paper Round’s view: Footballers are indeed often criticised, but sorting out Ramshaw’s operation now will be a blessing, with a huge amount of demand placed not just on the NHS, but with private resources also being called in as part of the fight against coronavirus.
Now they are aiming to close in on the top six, while New Years’ Day brings the perfect opportunity for the Lions. They kick off in the early game – the first of 2020 – which could take them into the top six. Not only that, but they meet a Luton side who are in dire form and in serious relegation danger at the foot of the table.
The Lecce owner once lit up the rays of hope of relegation with 3 consecutive victories in February 2020. But before the outbreak of the Covid-19, teachers and coach Fabio Liverani returned to their true badness when they lost to Roma 0-4 and Atalanta 2-7. Confronting Milan is Lecce's first match since Italian football was resumed on June 13. Unfortunately, this is the Comunale Via del Mare home match, where they have won only twice in Serie A this season. Of the 6 victories since the beginning of the season, only 2 have been Lecce in their home country. Losing too many points at home is one of the main reasons that made Lecce so hard for the relegation battle.
In fact, Ancelotti's breakthrough as a manager, came when he turned an under-achieving Milan side into European champions without a massive overhaul, but by applying sound coaching and tactical principles, getting more out of the team than his predecessor. Just as Turkish coach Fatih Terim had failed to turn Milan into an effective unit, so Portugal's Marco Silva had been unable to craft the individuals at Goodison Park into a side that could compete in the top eight.
Swansea are showing no signs of tailing off, while they are currently matching their pace in their 2010/11 promotion-winning season. Their tally of 29 points from 16 games is what they picked up on their way to the Premier League that term. Now they’re moving towards a return, but their result here could be important.
Chelsea is having a very good season due to the circumstances where they were not able to sign new players and recently got a great win on the road against Arsenal by 2 - 1. On this match they will play once again away from home, this time against Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues are the clear favorite and we expect them to get another victory on this match here since they are clearly the better team. For that reason, we will take Chelsea to cover the -0.5 Asian Handicap as the best line to bet on this match against Brighton.

Matt Targett fired the hosts ahead in the semi-final second leg at Villa Park after being teed up by Jack Grealish, with Leicester's Youri Tielemans hitting the crossbar at the other end. Kelechi Iheanacho equalised from close range in the 72nd minute as he did in the first leg, but Trezeguet finished perfectly in stoppage time at the back post to win it for Dean Smith's side.

Pep Guardiola needs to find a way of rejuvenating his team, though of course it remains a very good one. MAN OF THE MATCH Junior Moraes (Shakhtar Donetsk) Tete and Alan Patrick played well too, but Moraes was a constant threat, coming short, running in behind and bringing others into play. PLAYER RATINGS Manchester City: Ederson 5, Cancelo 6, Otamendi 6, Fernandinho 6, Angelino 4, Rodri 5, Gundogan 6, De Bruyne 6, Bernardo 5, Jesus 6, Sterling 5.
But a couple of half-time changes from Marcelo Bielsa saw Ajayi strike back early in the second half, a just reward for dominating possession. Though both Ajayis had chances to seal the game, you’d imagine that this will feel like a good point for each. Slaven Bilic’s Ajayi have now gone four games without a win, while Marcelo Bielsa’s Ajayi will be pleased to have a nine-point cushion from which to begin their customary second-half-of-the-season slump.
