I've been overwhelmed by the well wishes I've received from Watford supporters and the football community. Thank you all for your kind messages. Watford were bottom of the Premier League with just one win in 15 matches when Pearson was appointed on a deal until the end of the season. The club is now searching for its 13th permanent manager since Sean Dyche took charge nine years ago. Under Pearson, Watford won seven games in the Premier League, but the Hornets were soundly beaten by West Ham on Friday.
Nevertheless the former Arsenal striker was told to stay put which you have to think is because Frank Lampard is thinking of using him now and again. Putting the experienced World Cup winner behind Batshuayi in the pecking order seemed to be a bizarre move from Lampard when the Belgian has scored just the once in 14 Premier League appearances this season, compared to Giroud's one in seven games.

Tottenham have kept back-to-back clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since April 2019. This was only their second clean sheet in 24 away league outings (also 0-0 v Watford in January). Bournemouth have only won one of their 10 Premier League meetings with Tottenham (D2 L7), failing to score in six of those. This was the first time Bournemouth have stopped their opponent from having an attempt on target in a Premier League match, in what is their 186th game.
Media playback is not supported on this device Dyche praises Burnley's 'strong mentality' Like Wilder, the relationship Dyche has with his squad and the fact he knows his players so well, and how to motivate them, is the key to their success. Both clubs are run well from top to bottom too. Norwich got promoted with Sheffield United a year ago, but the Canaries already know they are heading straight back down to the Championship.
Odds are fine with me for taking the over 2.5 goals could even try to take the over 3.5 goals bet here in this one as the 3 games played between them here in recent seasons ended all with over 3.5 goals a home win with 3-1 a draw high scoring draw 2-2 in the end and also a 3-2 win for the guests, while Port MTI FC finished 3rd in the league last season and started this new season by winning both home games with 4-1 in the end and are very good up-front but not that solid in defense.
Cagliari plays against Sampdoria in the Serie A, and we have a match between the side that impressed the most this season as a beautiful surprise and the team that started the worst the season from the sides that was not announced to have a bad season.
One of Sampdoria’s rare wins this season came in the last round at Crotone. That was also a rare victory on the road in this competition, as it’s Samp’s only away victory in the Coppa Italia across their last 13 games in this competition. After that poor run on the road, they should be worried for this trip to Cagliari, who have scored 22 goals in nine matches at home in the Coppa.

FC Slutsk have conceded in every league game this season. Six of the last seven FC Slutsk games have seen both teams score. Four out of five FC Slutsk home league games have seen both teams score a goal. FC Slutsk were the Belarus Premier League leaders until a couple of weeks ago. They are now down to fourth in the table and host Rukh Brest who are eighth but only three points behind their opponents.
Despite their deficiencies at the back Albert Celades' team remain a tough nut to crack at home however, losing only one of the nine competitive games they have contested at the Mestalla since the summer.
Both teams have scored in 29% of Ajax’s home games and in 57% of Willem II’s away games but the hosts have scored in 71% of their games on the road which is why we have backed Willem II to score once in Amsterdam. We’re confident that over 3.5 goals will be scored in Friday nights’ match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of Ajax. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites though Willem II are also playing very well right not, but Ajax have a 100% record at home and score an average of four goals per home game and we can’t see Willem II surviving the kind of onslaught expected in Amsterdam.
Charlton finally ended their wait for a league victory on Boxing Day, delivering a late present to their fans. The Addicks struck late to end an 11-game winless streak, seeing off Bristol City in a 3-2 victory at the Valley. Now they are on the road once again, with Pride Park next up for a Charlton side who have rediscovered their scoring touch.
None left. And so it was that the manager who was, and still is, a hero to many Spurs fans was sacked in November. They were lying in 14th place in the Premier League and a Champions League campaign had been scarred by a 7-2 humiliation in their own home by Bayern Munich, the first time Spurs had conceded seven goals at home in their 137-year history. No sooner was Pochettino out of the door than Jose Mourinho was in.
The win was very necessary for us. Victory was even more necessary for counterpart Scott Parker, who has all but given up hope of making the top two. The Fulham boss said: "It is going to be a big ask to go up automatically, but I wouldn't write it off because the unexpected could happen with the way the division is and games are.
Traore not only got Wolves back into a match that was quickly drifting away from them but set up the equaliser having caught Benjamin Mendy sleeping on the job. What then took place was quite unbelievable. How did City, having been two goals up with a man sent off and after scoring from the rebound of a retaken penalty, manage to lose the game? And why? All because Pep Guardiola brought off a furious Kevin de Bruyne, the one man who could have saved them the match.
So how have they ended up in this peculiar position?Postponements wreak havocOrkney are currently fifth out of nine teams in the North Caledonian League, sitting 13 points off leaders Invergordon with three games in hand. Given they need a ferry to get to many of their away games, the recent storms that have hit the UK have not been kind to their fixture schedule. On January 11, they managed to get the boat and bus the 130 miles to Invergordon to face the league leaders, only for the game to be called off.
Norwich have lost each of their last three home games in the Premier League and have shipped an average of 2.67 goals per game at Carrow Road this term. This includes a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Aston Villa, a 2-0 loss to bottom of the table Watford, and a 3-1 defeat against a struggling Manchester United side.

Dijon and Rennes face each other for the Ligue 1. Both teams are not doing great. Rennes started the season very well winning 3 games in a row. After that it was all downhill. Their European journey came to an end last fixture and they are finally doing ok again at Ligue 1 as they won their last 2 matches. Going away to play once again I do not know if they can win this, they have the better team but Dijon makes things very difficult at home and they have to get every point they can get as the fight for Ligue 1 stay will be very difficult.
During a game in Burundi everyone stops, everyone is watching," he said. When we qualified for Africa Nations Cup, the whole place stopped and we partied for four days straight. Me being captain is huge and the love you get from the fans is huge, It doesn't matter how bad you are, they will just lift your spirits to the max. Transfers that famously didn't happenPeter Odemwingie - West Brom to QPR (January 2013)The Nigerian striker's decision to drive to QPR to try to push through a deal, only to be locked out and pictured looking confused in the club car park, is the deadline-day drama that had it all.
Wrexham will play against Aldershot in front of their own fans and they are clear favorite to secure victory here in this match and my tip is also with them. Wrexham had three successive wins in their last 3 matches and they won two games at home in their last 3 games. Their defense is too tight for any team to breach. In contrast, Aldershot they have not won in their last 10 away matches and they are not good when they play out home and I think Wrexham they will not lose this game. I expect that the hosts will secure a comfortable win here.
But at the same time we have to stay balanced ourselves, we can't just attack and attack or we will concede one and if we concede one we will have to score three, which makes it very difficult. Urawa welcome back goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa, who missed the first game due to suspension, while Al Hilal expect Saudi Arabia midfielder Mohamed Kanno to feature as he continues his return from a hip injury.
Lyndon Dykes was anonymous, and the visitors' only two clear chances fell to Steven Lawless. Livingston now have just two wins in their last 30 away trips in the league. What has been an excellent season might have been even better had their away form not been so atrocious.

Aleksandar Mitrovic rescued a point for Fulham at Derby as Wayne Rooney marked his 500th appearance in English league football by scoring a Panenka penalty. The Championship's top scorer coolly volleyed in Aboubakar Kamara's cross for his 22nd goal of the season to lift Fulham within two points of second-placed Leeds in the race for promotion. It had looked like former England captain Rooney would take the headlines when he calmly clipped the ball past Fulham keeper Marek Rodak from the spot to give the Rams the lead after Tim Ream had been penalised for handball.
It’s fair to say both of these sides have a preference for playing in front of their home support this season. Only SPAL (seven) have a higher difference between points won at home and away than Sampdoria and Parma this season (both six). While teams usually favour their home comforts, the gap between them doesn’t sound great for either side.
The Super Cup was a two-legged tie between the league champions and Copa del Rey holders but federation chief Luis Rubiales oversaw a dramatic shake-up last November, striking a three-year deal to play the tournament in Saudi Arabia. The federation has not confirmed financial details but Spanish media reports say the deal is worth around 40 million euros annually.

It's probably best not to celebrate too much Club Brugge are the only side to have two players sent off in injury time at the end of a Champions League gameClub Bruges enjoyed their equaliser against Galatasaray in their fifth game so much that they had two players sent off. Krepin Diatta - who scored the goal - took his shirt off to celebrate and Clinton Mata kicked the corner flag. They were both shown a second yellow card and dismissed, ruling them out of the final game against Real Madrid.

Bruce added: "We've got a very, very decent squad now. If we're going to improve, then we've got to bring in that bit of quality that makes us better. The 59-year-old Englishman also played down concerns that the club have left their transfer planning too late, saying head of recruitment Steve Nickson and managing director Lee Charnley have been researching targets for several months. Our plans have been in place for who we're trying to get since last September," added Bruce.

Champions League chasers Leverkusen were much fitter, having played five times since the Bundesliga restarted last month, and it showed. Saarbrucken may have fared better if they had been match fit or had a partisan home crowd of 6,800. But they can have no complaints at being well beaten in the game, with Daniel Batz - who saved six penalties in their cup run - frustrating Leverkusen on several occasions.
