Positioned in the top six, Rotherham are a strong side, a side that is very much in the promotion mix, though their recent efforts haven't been great. Prior to their Boxing Day win at New Meadow, which is not to be sniffed at, The Millers had gone four games without tasting victory. If they're to maintain their position inside the play-off place, then they'll need to get better at getting their noses in front.

Relive Newcastle v Chelsea, plus the rest of Saturday's Premier League actionNewcastle fortunate after string of bad luck Bruce said prior to the game that he was happy with his squad and would only bring players in during the transfer window if they would improve on his current crop. And they showed their defensive quality by holding out against a Chelsea side who had 70% possession during the game and created the vast majority of the chances in freezing conditions on Tyneside.

Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in six matches against Koln. Dortmund have scored three or more goals in six of their last eight home league matches. Koln have lost five of their seven away matches in Bundesliga. Dortmund are unbeaten in their eight home matches in Bundesliga this season. Koln have two wins in their last 20 meetings with Dortmund.
The squad is star-studded, but less so than it used to be, which owes to the La Masia academy not producing as many top-quality talents as it previously did and a huge failing in the transfer market over the last few seasons. The shambolic dealings in the transfer market - Philippe Coutinho for £130m, Ousmane Dembele for £112m, Malcom for £36m, etc etc - have, unsurprisingly, led to dissatisfaction with president Josep Maria Bartomeu and the rest of the board.

Atalanta may have only picked up one goal at the weekend, but they continued their spell as the league’s top scorers. They have been one of the most potent attacking sides in Italy in recent years, while they proved that against Fiorentina last year. These two sides met on four occasions in 2019, with Atalanta avoiding defeat in each, scoring 10 goals across the four games.
Wolves keeper Rui Patricio produced a smart early save to deny Kenny Mclean and then turned Alex Tettey's low drive against the post as Norwich swarmed forward. Norwich took the lead in the 17th minute when Wolves failed to clear McLean's cross and Todd Cantwell smashed the ball home. Teemu Pukki was twice denied by the over-worked Patricio as Wolves staggered to halftime only a goal in arrears.
Their hopes will have risen once more as they held the lead in impressive fashion but in the end Vardy's equaliser left manager Mikel Arteta cutting a frustrated figure at the final whistle. There is, however, still plenty to admire about how Arsenal are developing under Arteta, especially teenager Saka, whose superb delivery for Aubameyang's goal was his 12th Premier League assist this season, with only Kevin de Bruyne (19) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (14) ahead of him.
The Main Stand development cost about £100m. Outline planning permission was also in place to redevelop the Anfield Road End of the ground. Those plans would have added a further 4,825 seats but in August the club chose to instead pursue "ambitious new plans", prompting the consultation process. The consultation events are designed for local residents, businesses and fans to learn more and offer their feedback on the club's vision to create a bigger Anfield, which would allow more fans to watch some of Europe's best football in a world-class facility," the club said.
The hosts had a mini-wobble earlier this season, but they have returned to the top two in impressive fashion after an excellent streak of results. The hosts have kept three successive clean sheets going into this clash, while they have an eight-point lead over third in their bid for the automatic promotion spot they missed out on earlier this year.
I knew something was not right. MacDonald was diagnosed with bowel cancer on Friday, 23 August. It was a real shock," he said. I was 26 and coming to the peak of my career. You never expect it to happen to you, especially being so young and otherwise fit and healthy. I don't remember how I drove the car back home. It was like a daydream, and not a very nice one - more of a nightmare. He had been planning a birthday surprise for his partner, The X Factor winner and musical theatre star Alexandra Burke, that evening.
Helmond Sport against Jong PSV here, another meeting of the Dutch football Eerste Divisie which is played tomorrow night at 8:00 pm. Helmond slightly favored for the victory of the match comes from a 1-1 home draw against Jong Ajax while guests are coming from a 1-3 home defeat against NAC Breda. The Helmond will have the field from his here and considering also that he is in front of a team more or less at his same level I think he has a good chance of getting at least one point here. Let's try a draw here and Good Luck
Spurs disappointing, despite VAR frustration Kane's strike was ruled out by VAR because Moura was deemed to have handled the ball in the build-upTottenham will perhaps look back at the decision to now allow Kane's equaliser as a crucial turning point in the game. The England striker had appeared to score a perfectly good goal as he slalomed through the home defence to slot in, but it was ruled out by VAR for a handball by Moura.

The Daily Mirror suggests that the Premier League will now move to punish City for the way they have reported their supposed revenue, and they could face a points deduction as a result of any transgressions. Paper Round’s view: City have invited these problems because the manner in which they inflated their revenue has been an open secret for years.
Both teams scored in four of Benfica’s and five of Famalicao’s last six matches, and the hosts have scored three or more goals in three of their last four matches while the visitors have conceded three goals in two of their last three league games, so you can start to see why we have backed a 3-1 win for Benfica this weekend.
Betis hit the woodwork in either half and finally scored in added time when Marc Bartra bundled the ball into the net from a crowded penalty area. The win followed last week's 2-0 success over Osasuna and was the first time Diego Simeone's had strung two victories together in domestic competition since they won their opening three games of the campaign.
Everton with top coach Ancelotti got their first good result away from home at Newcastle where the hosts did not even close to City recently drawing that game 2-2 in the end, but Everton played a great game as they do have players much better than their current league position shows paying big bucks to buy quality players over past seasons this one included just results have not been there but now they have one of the top coaches in the world on the bench and I do not see them resumed to only defend here.
Temporary concussion subs would go some way to fixing this. It gives everyone time to do their jobs properly – a player can potentially recover if they're just winded while being checked out at length, a doctor can do their job without time pressure, a team does not suffer due to lack of numbers. If the player is not concussed, they can return to the fray, the sub can return to the sidelines.
The 28-year-old withdrew from the Basque club's squad for Wednesday's Copa del Rey tie against Espanyol after demanding clarification on his transfer situation. Paper Round's view: Jose Mourinho seems to be panicking in the January transfer market and that's probably something that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy doesn't want.
Conceded by Kurt Zouma. Everton manager Marco Silva is fighting to save his job after Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Norwich. The loss increased concerns behind the scenes and Silva's position is set to be discussed between major shareholder Farhad Moshiri and other directors. David Moyes, who spent 11 years as Everton boss before joining Manchester United in 2013, has been discussed as a potential interim option.

The Seagulls are 12th in the standings after 13 games. We've been really pleased with the start Graham has made as head coach since joining us in the summer," club chairman Tony Bloom said in a statement 16:46 - Valencia boss hails Chelsea Valencia coach Albert Celades hailed Chelsea as one of the top teams in football ahead of their crunch Champions League match in Spain on Wednesday.
NSI Runavik is going to face TB Tvoroyri. The hosts of this clash ended the previous season in the 3rd place in the league standings. They won 18 of 27 matches and lost only six times. NSI at home won 10 of 14 games and scored 30 goals and conceded 14. TB was one of the weakest teams. TB lost 10 of 14 matches and scored 11 goals in them. I don't think that NSI will not win this match by more than 2 goals. The difference between these two teams is huge and NSI should score more than 3 goals here
Weil also wanted more portable pitches in the Pro League -- a worldwide league featuring nine teams in both the men's and women's competitions -- such as the one deployed at the Twickenham Stoop rugby stadium for England's home matches last season. He said that was preferable to the temporary stadiums which had to be built for most games.
They lead this semi-final tie against cup holders Shakhytor Soligorsk 2-0 after the first leg. That was played on home territory with them scoring in the sixth and 13th minutes to take a commanding lead. They will most likely be disappointed that they didn't extend their lead even further. Brest continue to struggle in the league though and are 14th, just one place above the relegation zone.
We are expecting a high scoring game. West Brom are favourites to bag a few goals in this one. West Bromwich Albion has not scored in 1 of their 18 home matches in this season's Championship. While Swansea City have not scored in 7 of their 18 away games in this season's Championship. Swansea City have lost their last 4 away matches so we expect Swansea to not fancy their chances here. We predict to score to be over 2.5 and a comfortable win for the league leaders.
If you want to ask me how much sense it would make, who would play in the Champions League next season, it would be really interesting. It’s a nice story, but when I saw it for the first time, I thought: ‘Wow! Really, somebody thinks something like that?’ Liverpool fans are not silly enough to believe these things.
When I read or hear stories about player transfers this summer like nothing has happened, people need to wake up to the enormity of what is happening around us," said Levy. With over 786,000 infected, (over) 38,000 deaths and large segments of the world in lockdown we need to realise that football cannot operate in a bubble.
Home form has seen Oxford lose only to Manchester City over 90 minutes in their last 14 matches. United have kept home clean sheets in their last seven home league games, last conceding in September. To reach this third round, Oxford have beaten Hayes and Yeading and Walsall, both away from home and without conceding a goal.
Leicester City's in-form striker Jamie Vardy will have to be rested during a "nonsense" festive programme, says boss Brendan Rodgers. Vardy has not missed a league match this season and is the Premier League's top scorer with 16 goals in 17 matches. Second-placed Leicester host leaders Liverpool on 26 December, play at West Ham two days later before travelling to Newcastle on New Year's Day. The players aren't robots, it's not a computer game," said Rodgers.
It's a horrible one to deal with but Leno saves it as it bounces, and gathers the loose ball before El-Arabi can slide in and score. GOAL! Olympiacos 0 Arsenal 1 (Lacazette 81) Brilliant on the break from Arsenal. Aubameyang latches on to a ball in the bottom left corner. He then cuts it back to Saka, who was butrsting into the penalty area.

He remains the third highest scorer in Premier League history with 187 goals, winning five league titles, two FA Cups and the 1999 Champions League with Manchester United, and a League Cup with Blackburn. Cole suffered kidney failure in 2015 after contracting an airborne virus, and now says a lack of human interaction is one of the "toughest challenges". The first couple of weeks were not bad but the last month or so has been really difficult due to the fact you're not allowed to go out," he added.
Norwich failed to register in a dismal five of the eight away games they've contested since their promotion, and with Leicester's defensive axis of Kasper Schmeichel, Jonny Evans, Caglar Soyuncu and Wilfred Ndidi in superb form, we think there is value in backing City to win to nil this weekend.
Muhammad Ghulm Al Balushi, Al Sadd's Sporting director said: "There are negotiations between Xavi and Barcelona now and we wish him success where he goes. Football website Goal reported the quotes from before the match between Al-Sadd and Al-Rayaan, in their Qatar Cup semi-final game. Xavi is currently the manager of Al Sadd but has been linked with a return to Barcelona as pressure on current manager Ernesto Valverde mounts.
Could he really have turned away from Jordan Pickford, as he did Joe Hart? Sure, he’s made a handful of huge errors for Everton, but he has proven largely dependable for England in the past, particularly in penalty shootouts. It’s not time to panic yet. But an extra 12 months would shield Southgate from making a rash decision and give him time (should there be any football to judge) to also consider Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson and Burnley’s Nick Pope.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's presence will be felt in the FA Cup replay with Shrewsbury Town, says Under-23s coach Neil Critchley. Klopp said he and his first-team players will not be at Anfield on Tuesday so they can observe the Premier League's inaugural winter break. He supports the young players unbelievably well," Critchley said. Even if he is not there, he is always felt by our younger players and by myself.
Rooney also said the Premier League's own contribution of £20m to the NHS was "a drop in the ocean" compared to what players are being asked to give up. How the past few days have played out is a disgrace," added England's all-time leading goalscorer. I get that players are well paid and could give up money. But this should be getting done on a case-by-case basis. Clubs should be sitting down with each player and explaining what savings it needs to survive.
If United get the deal done early, they can avoid the risk of the asking price rising after this summer's European Championship with the winger's involvement with the England national team. Sancho will have a point to prove moving back to England, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him snub PSG in favour of a move to Manchester.

Later in the game, the Leeds defender is seen prowling following another heavy challenge, fists clenched and ready for battle. For many, this is the indelible image of Hunter on the pitch, but one that does a huge disservice to a player with silk to match the steel, who won 28 England caps and was part of the 1966 World Cup winning squad aged 22. It was certainly not representative of the man - a warm, generous and beloved figure, the death of whom on 17 April was deeply felt not just at Leeds but across the football world.
