The hosts may be 12th, but they sit just three points shy of the playoffs, with only five points between these two in the table. While Preston are flying high, they have just eight points from 10 trips as they prepare to meet a Cardiff side who have won 70% of their home games. The hosts are third in the home table as a result, while this seems like the perfect game for them.

My suggestion for a match: Dynamo Dresden v Stuttgart is 1 or draw. The rate for this event is very high. I count on at least a draw in this match. The drivers of Dresden have won twice in the last 5 direct matches.
Keep an eye on him. Kelly selflessly sat drinking until 4am with Keane, Scholes, Berg and some of Keane’s family and friends. If you feel out of it, as Keane did, you might as well get out of it. Ferguson’s intuition had been right; Keane later said it was during that training session that he fully realised what he was going to miss out on.
It took two minutes to come to the decision, which shows it wasn't clear and obvious. Why [referee] Martin Atkinson doesn't walk over to the monitor and have a quick look I don't know. In my opinion they've turned over a good decision by the referee. Grealish enjoying stellar season - the statsAston Villa are without victory in their last 10 Premier League matches against sides from London (D1 L9), since a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in January 2016.
Bayern might have scored four times between the 73rd and 84th minute. They created a series of opportunities on the counter-attack, mostly after intercepting weary passes from United players. Schmeichel made good saves from Effenberg and Scholl, who also hit the post with a gorgeous disguised chip from the edge of the box.

There is lots in this game that suggests that the two sides will both be giving their all for a win. Tranmere are really struggling and, despite their form, AFC Wimbledon are still in trouble. We’re backing both teams to score in this match but with Wimbledon having some good form we’re thinking that they will just about edge things this weekend.
West Ham United will host Wolverhampton Wanderers for this fixture of the league. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task in this match. West Ham is not very good team in this season. They are currently bottom of the table. Hosts have a poor results in the last matches. They are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. On the other hand Wolverhampton are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top five places in the table. In any case, Wolverhampton is really better team. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
Odds have gone up even more than 1.70 for the home win and I am kind of used to see odds go up and down on Isloch as they sometimes play games at this reserve level with no substitutes on the bench but even so under such circumstances they did get the win in the end and they do have some weird games as well like being dominated for 60 minutes at home by Rukh Brest 2 and being 1-0 behind but winning with no less than 4-1 in the end.
One thing that is clear about this game is that the home team are favorites here. They come in the game with much confidence to continue piling pressure at the top of the table against an out of moral bottom placed away team. The last time they met, the away team really struggled to get something out of the game but it was in vain. Although we can note that the away team scores in almost every game despite them loosing meaning chances are high it won't be any different in this game. This will prompt the home team to score either two or more goals to be able to win this game.
Liverpool pushed Everton manager Marco Silva closer to the sack and retained their eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League with a crushing win at Anfield which dropped the Toffees into the relegation zone. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, already missing suspended goalkeeper Alisson and injured Fabinho, still felt able to rest key attacking duo Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino from his starting line-up and win in comfort.
Mané (Liverpool) T. Pukki (Norwich) R. Sterling (Manchester City) 7 C. Wood (Burnley) 10 8 Richarlison (Everton) 9 Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City) 9 Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) 8 A. The Czech player, who replaced injured Burnley striker Chris Wood midway through the opening half, had hardly had a sniff of goal but produced a dazzling finish on the hour.
We want the season to finish so we can play out all the games and we can get the trophy. We think that if we continue playing the way we were playing, we could extend our lead at the top. Uefa pave way for Premiership to end earlyWhat is your club saying amid lockdown?Celtic have won all three major domestic trophies in Scotland for the last three seasons and, having already secured the League Cup this term, could clinch a fourth straight treble should the Scottish Cup conclude as planned by the Scottish FA.
The Wales forward outsprinted Barca defender Marc Bartra from the halfway line before coolly converting past keeper Jose Manuel Pinto to announce himself as someone who would not be upstaged, even by Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Repeat Champions League winner and final goalscorer If you are going to have a love affair with a competition as a footballer, the Champions League seems like a pretty great choice and that's certainly been the case for Bale.

In the last 3 seasons, CSKA Moscow couldn't win and maybe this season too. After the winter break, CSKA Moscow showed a poor performance: Ural held 1-1 and lost to host Rostov 2-3. In addition, they were eliminated from the Russian Cup by Spartak Moscow.. At the moment, Viktor Goncharenko's army is only 5th in the table with 35 points, 12 points behind the leader Zenit. Therefore, the most practical goal of CSKA Moscow is probably to reach the top 3 for the Champions League next season. In round 22, the traditional Russian rich team, CSKA Moscow welcomes Ufa at home. In addition to the yard advantage, CSKA Moscow also excels in class, team quality and experience.
They are not afraid to have a defensive approach. It is easier for them against better teams, against teams who want more of the ball," he added. The Portuguese, sacked by United after two and a half seasons in charge, had plenty of praise for his former forward Rashford. When he plays from the left he is really dangerous and I knew that and gave the players the best information about it.
Also, there was no substantial offer to convince Bale to move away. From the moment Bale started to receive the silent treatment his mind was made up; he knew what he was going to do. If he wasn't going anywhere and if he wasn't going to get his chance to play, then his revenge would be to hang around until 30 June 2022 when his contract finally expires, by which time he will have received around 102 weeks' wages amounting to around £35.
His awareness of the importance of keeping everyone involved is likely a consequence of his playing experience. Throughout his career, he was more used to sitting on the bench than being the starting goalkeeper and he never likes a player to think they have no chance of being part of the next match. For the BBC, Will Unwin takes a look at Nuno Espirito Santo’s background.

It was an attacking line-up and some of the players and entertainment on show was fantastic. To have it taken away so late in the game, Kevin Keegan looked in agony. Kevin was never going to change his style of play. He wanted to go out and entertain the Newcastle public. He would always look to outscore the opposition. In some games you just have to sit tight and be organised but that is not Kevin and probably in the end that is what cost Newcastle.
Brighton’s December started in emphatic fashion on Thursday as they took full advantage of the crisis at Arsenal to clinch an unexpected 2-1 win at the Emirates, and it’s safe to say that their early season struggles look well behind them now.
I don’t think there is a goalkeeping situation (at United)," Schmeichel, one of greatest keepers of all time, told Reuters. It’s ridiculous to talk about that. He (De Gea) made a mistake against Everton, he made one against Watford," added the 56-year-old. I worked this game against Everton (as a pundit) and we were clutching at straws trying to find mistakes that he’s made and we came up with seven over two seasons," added the Dane, whose son Kasper keeps for Premier League Leicester City.
Belshina reserves and Brest reserves will face each other in the upcoming match in the Reserves league in Belarus. Belshina reserves this season have the following results: 2W, 1D and 3L. Meanwhile Brest reserves have 1W, 0D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Robinson refers to clubs with "vested interests", while finance expert Dr Wilson calls it "self-interest". It will threaten the final operations at a number of clubs in that division, no doubt whatsoever," Wilson said of playing out the season in the third tier. They will hardly be able to afford to test their players for coronavirus, let alone pay their wages. It is all well and good having a couple of big teams trying to dictate what should happen when in reality they have 23 teams that they need to look out for.
Leicester stay third, six points ahead of Chelsea who now have a game in hand. Unmarked defender Lewis's swerving strike was the Canaries' first goal in open play since New Year's Day, or more than 700 minutes of action. The clean sheet was also only the home side's second of the season. Leicester, with top scorer Jamie Vardy left at home to nurse a calf strain, had the ball in the net after 49 minutes through Kelechi Iheanacho but it was ruled out after VAR replays showed the ball hit his arm.

CLOSE! Aubameyang, narrowly inside the box, looks to curl an effort into the far top corner and is only a few inches away from doing so. GOAL! Bournemouth 1-1 Arsenal (Aubameyang). It's scruffy but Arteta won't care. Aubameyang himself runs at the Bournemouth defence, offloads the ball to Lacazette, he passes to Ozil, he tees up Nelson and his deflected shot runs for Aubameyang to score from close range.
The visitors have a pretty poor record when it comes to keeping the ball out of the back of their net and they have conceded 33 times in their 24 games. However, they have scored 31 times and go into this match full of confidence following a 4-1 win away at Oldham and a 3-1 at home to Crewe. With a decent away record to boot, they will be expecting to return home with the three points following the conclusion of this fixture.
Leaders RB Leipzig, top on 37 points, kick off 2020 at home against Union Berlin. Striker Timo Werner, who with 18 league goals is one behind Lewandowski, has one eye on the title. On a national level it would be nice to win the Cup (after reaching the final last year). I had to chose then winning the league title is the ultimate," Werner said.
Liverpool right-back Neco Williams, whose long ball forward led to the goal, said it was a night that his team-mates would remember for "a long time". The result means the Reds are still in the chase for three additional trophies, having already won the Club World Cup and Super Cup. They have a 22-point lead at the top of the Premier League and are in the last 16 of both the Champions League and FA Cup.

Dean Smith's Aston Villa remain a point above the relegation zone after a third straight defeat. Patrick van Aanholt's free-kick was enough to secure Crystal Palace a 1-0 win over Newcastle at Selhurst Park. Roy Hodgson's side move up to 13th in the table, two points clear of the Magpies, who also saw midfielder Valentino Lazaro sent off in stoppage time. Southampton moved a step closer to Premier League survival with a comfortable victory that leaves Aston Villa firmly in relegation trouble.

Media playback is not supported on this device 5,000-1 or 'Aguerooo' - MOTDx pick their moment of the decade In any case, Manchester City will surely be ready for that approach this time, and I am expecting them to win. If that happens, that is the end of Leicester's title hopes, and it would take the heat off Liverpool ahead of their trip to King Power Stadium on 26 December. I think the leaders would also be happy if this game ended in a draw - only a Foxes win would give the Reds some cause for concern.
Going to the game, hosts St. Etienne have 25 points and are placed eighth while PSG have 39 points and are top of the standings. St. Etienne have registered three wins and two losses in their last 10 matches ahead of this match. They have scored two or more in four of their last 10 and have no clean sheet in the last four matches but three in the last 10.
If Norwich go down, Buendia will be available for a relative pittance in today's market, and represents a low-risk addition to any team with designs on breaking the top four next season, particularly considering he already plays for a team who attempt to be ball dominant and play on the front foot. Signing a player from a side who operate with a more agricultural, direct style of play and asking them to adapt to a more progressive brand of football is fraught with risk.
The road to the Carabao Cup final is getting shorter. This week sees an all-Premier League affair as the first legs of the semi-finals take place.

As we enter a new decade, BBC Sport has gone through the EFL Cup archives and listed all the semi-finalists from the 2010s.
It is tough to defend and opponents do what they have to do," said Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo. I think all the referees know in the cases of players like this that they must act immediately to prevent an injury. Sometimes a tackle can cause a serious injury to the player, and that is not fair. Surprisingly, though, he isn't the most fouled player in the Premier League with that painful honour instead going to Aston Villa's Jack Grealish.
Our position is that the trip poses an unnecessary risks to our players, staff, supporters and the families of all who travel, at such critical and uncertain times. Our concern is also for our opponents, whose players and staff have today been tested, and will now be expected to play their part in an important fixture, under the difficult and challenging circumstances of their owner suffering with the virus," added Wolves.

Manager Maurizio Sarri will have one new concern before this match, as Blaise Matuidi has suffered a rib fracture and joined Giorgio Chiellini and Marko Pjaca on the injury list. Even though there are many amazing players in their squad, the one who is always in the spotlight is their biggest star, Cristiano Ronaldo. He is their top scorer with 5 goals netted and 1 assist made so far this season.
