Both PSV and Twente have not had good runs in recent matches but PSV will be glad at the form they have had at home, especially in the league. Twente, on the other hand, head to this game on a very poor away form, and have been poor against PSV as well. We expect that PSV will prevail here, given their home form and superiority over Twente. We will go for a home win on this one.

Thomas Tuchel is a great coach and when I see him, I will certainly greet him and I think he will do the same. We worked well together for two years, and in the end things got a bit tough. We will certainly not become great friends in life any more. But that was three years ago.

But in the end we got an important goal and mentally we are in a good place and we kept pushing.
Sean Dyche's team have been equally poor on the road and showed limited ambition to contain their hosts for most of the 90 minutes.

Crystal Palace have done well in recent matches against Burnley, but they head to this one as the underdogs. Burnley are on the rise and after the two big wins ahead of this game, they will be further motivated by the fact they are playing at home. Palace are winless in five matches, losing four and without a clean sheet away from home in six matches. Burnley on their side, have three wins in four at home and have improved defensively. This fixture doesn’t produce a lot of draws so we won’t bet on that. We will go for a Burnley win here.

Cavani has dubbed a move to Atletico as a "dream", so why would he want to be a short-term panic buy for United or provide back-up to Tammy Abraham at Stamford Bridge? Cavani seems a perfect fit for a Diego Simeone side and he could really flourish in the Spanish capital. He might turn 33 years old this month, but he could easily enjoy a successful spell in Spain where he will feel wanted.

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last 11 away league games played on Boxing Day (D4 L7) since a 2-1 win over Spurs in 1991. They head into this clash with concerns around their next Boxing Day outing, as consecutive defeats have knocked Forest down the table and left them a little shaken.

The Los Angeles Lakers are top of their division but only three wins ahead of the Clippers. They need to keep on winning to clinch the divisional title and should get a home win here.

The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSFRIDAY Norwich v Southampton (18:00 BST)Norwich are six points off safety but if they can treat the restart like the start of a season, and Teemu Pukki can find a burst of scoring form like he did in August and September, they have got a chance of staying up. That is the optimistic way of looking at their situation. On the flip side, they are seriously short of fit defenders for the remainder of the campaign.
Did you know? Lampard has scored against a record 39 different Premier League clubs Clubs: Manchester United, Aston Villa & Manchester CityWhile the signing of Eric Cantona from Leeds is often cited as the masterstroke from Sir Alex Ferguson that transformed Manchester United into the Premier League's first dominant force, the acquisition of Schmeichel, from Brondby - for a little over £500,000 - was arguably just as important.
Inter Milan are in great record of 4 won games in their last 5 home competitions against Cagliari and they have won all by 2 goals or more. I believe that they will still win this game with at least 2 goals. They will use this game to launch a little come back on the race with Juventus Turin. The visitors are in big mess in form at the moment and Inter will use that to get their winning again.
I believe that this match from South Korea can bring to us, at least two goals and with a little luck, and more than that. So, here is season just started and teams are playing better and better, from round to round. Pohang Steelers is favorite here and they are surely closer to win, but we will see what will happen. In first two rounds, this team is won four points, 2-0 and 1-1, while Seoul is so far played just one match as a guests, and lost that duel, pretty easy 1-3. Yes, over is ok for me here.
I really see plenty of goals in this match who will be played in elite Romanian league and that is pretty ok and real for me. So, it is clear that Viitorul want to win title this is season, but they need to be better on away matches. They are won in last four matches in league, at home, but it will not be easy here. Astra is also in excellent form and they are coming in this match after four wins in a row. I see here, let's say, 2-1 for one of rivals and I will try that.
I remember very good last official match of this two rivals when Shakhtar Soligorsk is last year also played match at home and won in that duel even 5-1. I think that Slavya, who is playing pretty good this season so far, will be very motivated to beat them this time, even that will not be easy to do. Shakhtar is in any case favorite, but this season they are not playing too good and probably they will have some problems in defense. Slavya, at least I think so, surely will score here at least one goal, so over is ok.
