MANCHESTER, England, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola declared the VAR video review system a "big mess" on Sunday after a weekend which saw a series of controversial decisions from the system. VAR was introduced in the Premier League for the first time this season and there is no sign of the controversies dying down nor of fans warming to the use of the technology.
I don't want anything else, other than that. England have suffered six defeats in their last nine games and Neville says "wins would be nice" to give the players belief. The Lionesses are ranked four places higher than Japan and have beaten them twice in the past 12 months, including at the World Cup in the summer. When you are building something, wins give the players belief in what you are doing and this set of players sometimes lack belief and confidence," said Neville.
Odds are quite decent for the home win in this one, I know it is a friendly game but I watched the hosts a week ago also in another friendly game at home against another 2nd league club Smorgon which prior to that meeting had 3 wins in a row on the road and if memory serves me right they even defeated first league club FC Minsk on the road 1-0, this while the hosts dominated that encounter as it went 0-0 at half-time but their domination showed in the second half scoring the only goal of the game and winning the encounter.
Slutsk is having a great season on the pitch so far. They are on top of the standings and won 3 of the 5 matches scoring the most goals of anyone in the league. But surely this form is temporary as they do not have the means and players to fight for title but it has been one of the most consistent teams this season. Their most recent victory came against Shakhtyor Soligorsk where Slutsk have shown a red card and a penalty and still won the match. In contrast, things are getting tough to tougher for Belshina. But the draw against Smolevichi summed up the season so far. Another defeat is coming for them.

LONDON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Arsenal's misfiring Mesut Ozil got a boost on Sunday from their new manager Mikel Arteta who expressed confidence in the way the German playmaker was training and performing on the pitch. The 31-year-old, the club's most expensive player on a reported 350,000 pounds ($458,185.
I do not see much reasons why Milan should be just 2.10 favorites to win here at Parma who is 4 points above AC Milan in the league standings at this moment as Milan is having a really poor start to their season once more this season with their previous couple of seasons being also quite poor for them, this while Parma drew 2-2 at Inter or won 2-0 at home with Roma and they are most impressive at home lately with 4 wins in their last 5 home league games and some big wins like against Genoa with 5-1 as well.
Liverpool's unstoppable charge towards their first top-flight title in 30 years continued by edging a narrow victory over bottom-of-the-table Norwich. Sadio Mane came off the bench to score the winner with 12 minutes remaining, expertly taking down skipper Jordan Henderson's raking pass and smashing in at the near post. It means Jurgen Klopp's side need just five more wins from their remaining 12 games to guarantee their first Premier League title, having dropped just two points all campaign.
I'll play really safe in this one. This double chance is underrated at 1,22 so there is value, true price is 1,17. Sagadam never lost in the last 4 matches and only came up with one draw, which for them is a real loss of 2 points. They are a stronger side even away. But there is a strong chance this can end up in a draw too. The 3 most probable results for this match by order, are, 0 x 1, 0 x 2 and finally 1 x 1. I don't really see Energetik being capable of beating Sagadam
Losing the first leg wasn't part of the plan, but Monday's hosts probably won't be too downbeat ahead of the return leg. After all, they only lost by a single goal, while they produced moments of promise, moments that will leave them feeling confident ahead of a game on their own patch.
View more on twitterIt is also a sign of the new reality at United that fourth place might even be regarded as success for Solskjaer and his players these days. United may not have claimed three points with a flourish but they were more ruthless in front of goal than wasteful Chelsea, and this was a victory they closed out in comfort, made easier by the defensive excellence of captain Harry Maguire, who scored their second, Eric Bailly and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Posted at 63' Corner, Heart of Midlothian. Conceded by Fraser Forster. Posted at 63' Attempt saved. Jamie Walker (Heart of Midlothian) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the bottom left corner. People are "trying to fit a narrative" around James Maddison, says Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers who defended the midfielder after images of his night out in Dubai were published. The 23-year-old has previously been criticised for going to a casino the night England lost a Euro 2020 qualifier in October.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. SATURDAY Leicester v Chelsea (12:30 GMT)This is a big game for Leicester after they missed out on the Carabao Cup final in midweek, because a win here would mean they go 11 points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea. Both of these teams have been up and down with their results in recent weeks, but I am more concerned about Chelsea's form because I am not sure where their goals are going to come from with Tammy Abraham expected to be out.
The hosts go to this clash having scored in nine of their last 10 league matches but they have also conceded in the nine. They lost their last home match but with nine wins in 12 league matches at home, they will be strong favorites to recover in this game. However, with one clean sheet in 13 home league matches, Gladbach will have some level of concern.

Incheon United will host Daegu for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Daegu is very average team in this league. However, they have the potential to pick up the victory. In any case, I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. Also, the hosts want to get a positive result at the start of the new season. However, Incheon is one of the main outsiders in this league. I think, they have a very difficult task. So, I believe, Daegu is really better team. I think, Daegu will win.
Benitez not only has two years left on his current deal, but it would cost £20 million to buy him out from the contract. That figure will only reduce in the final year of his contract, meaning he is essentially unavailable until then. Paper Round’s view: Benitez has shown with Liverpool and then at Newcastle United, with Chelsea in between, that his style brings success across the table in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Schalke have scored in 10 of their last 12 competitive games. They have also scored at least two goals in each of their last five competitive games. Similarly, Leverkusen have scored at least two goals in four of their last five competitive games.
It's like a normal influenza but you still have to be careful. The championship? Open doors, closed doors, postponements, whatever you do, it's influenced by outside factors. Playing behind closed doors is the death of football, it's unreal. Those who play at home do not have the support of the public, so I do not like it.
Mikel Arteta earned his first win as Arsenal boss as the Gunners produced a powerful first-half performance to beat a lacklustre Manchester United. The visitors, who were without the injured Paul Pogba, actually began brightly, but the game took a different turn on eight minutes when Nicolas Pepe steered in his fifth goal of the season after Sead Kolasinac's cross was deflected to him. That led to a first half in which the hosts were in control and Pepe hit the post before they doubled their lead when his corner was smashed in from close range by Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

Klopp said Liverpool "would love" to play their home games at Anfield but feels there is no advantage when crowds are absent, as shown by results since the Bundesliga resumed. We will not have the help from the crowd but no team will have that so where is the advantage? Whoever we play it is the same situation which is why I'm not too worried about it," said Klopp. We have tried to simulate the situation by training in the stadium and getting used to it.
As has been the case for some time, a lack of defensive strength has cost Dale over the festive period. They've shipped seven goals in three games. Such a total just won't do, especially when they're seemingly not good enough to make up for it at the other end. On the road Dale's defensive weaknesses continue to be magnified. They've shipped four in their last two and have now conceded a disappointing 23 goals in 12 travelling matches, conceded two or more in seven of those 12.
We're not in quarantine, but because of the infection in the men's team we are not training until Wednesday," Norway captain Mjelde told Reuters.

TALKING POINT Can Arsenal go all the way this year? Their 4-1 defeat by Chelsea in the final in Baku last year was a miserable experience, but the Gunners look to have the potential to try and avenge that this season. Arteta’s team are unbeaten in 2020 and Bayern Munich are the only other team in Europe to have won at Olympiacos this year.
News agency Adnkronos even enlisted the help of a sociologist, Chiara Saraceno, to help explain why the artwork has caused such controversy: "Even if the core idea is to remind people that we all descend from the apes… it could be seen to mean that some people are closer to monkeys, while others have evolved further.
Wales and Bale will have to wait an extra year for their next taste of a major competition, with Euro 2020 now taking place in June 2021 as a result of the coronavirus. We are looking to do just as well if not better," said Bale. I think the extra year will help. We have a young team and the manager, Ryan Giggs, hasn't been in too long. If anything it will help. Going into Euro 2016 everyone looked at us and thought we were a small country but we always believed in ourselves, had a game plan and we had the biggest team spirit of any team I've ever been in or known.
Will they have a spring in their step for the last 10 league games? Having won the Carabao Cup, City could still end the season with three trophies as they battle for the Champions League and FA Cup. However, hopes of a third straight Premier League title have all but vanished. David Silva ends a glorious decade of success at Manchester City at the end of this seasonKey stat: Manchester City have lost seven Premier League games this season, one more than they had in their previous two campaigns combined.
With two teams still in continental competition and at least one guaranteed to be playing after Christmas, there are still plenty of coefficient points to be claimed. To help matters, Cyprus and Greece, the two nations immediately on Scotland's tail, only have one club left each. Looking upwards, the Czech Republic in 14th are not too far out of reach either. Progress has indeed been made. Scottish football knows one swallow does not make a summer, but perhaps, just perhaps, the winter of European football discontent may finally be thawing.
Leaders Liverpool stretched 11 points clear of second-placed Leicester City as they eased aside Bournemouth and kept up their relentless pace at the top of the table. Goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keita and Mohamed Salah inflicted the Cherries' fifth successive defeat. Elsewhere, Son Heung-min scored a wonderful solo goal as his Tottenham side ran out 5-0 winners at home to Burnley. Captain Harry Kane netted twice with Lucas Moura and Moussa Sissoko completing the scoring.
The Hearts fans, angrily venting their frustrations, were then on their feet in hope as a swerving strike from Ryotaro Meshino was beaten away by a flying Ofir Marciano. Meshino was involved as the home side improved after the interval, drawing another save from Marciano and scuffing a good opening wide from 15 yards. Ikpeazu skewed an angled effort wide under pressure, while a double block from Marciano at his near post denied Euan Henderson and Craig Halkett headed wide.
This game could potentially be put to bed quite early on as well. Liverpool have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 11 of their last 12 home Premier League games, and while Sheffield United have only lost one away game they have still been trailing at the break on three occasions. This makes a Liverpool/Liverpool HT/FT bet look favourable.
Matches in the Premier League, Football League, National League, Women's Super League, Women's Championship and Women's National League will be dedicated to the campaign, launched by FA president the Duke of Cambridge. A number of high-profile players, including Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford, have been targeted for abuse on social media in recent months and Kirkland insists tougher action is needed.
Defensive strength is something which is not exactly foreign to the Grecians as, whilst they do not rely on it nearly as much as their hosts, they have kept their opposition at bay in 33% of their matches on the road this season, a vital stat given that they have scored an average of just 1.17 goals per game away from home in the league this season.
Instead it was more heartbreak and pressure for the 42-year-old Portuguese, who once again saw an Everton game heavily influenced by VAR, as it was when they lost controversially at Brighton after a penalty harshly awarded against Michael Keane saw a lead eventually turn to defeat. Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 2-1 Everton: Defeat was harsh on Everton - Marco Silva Everton pushed Leicester all the way and, with more of a cutting edge, could have cashed in on spells when they were comfortable and in relative control, with Sidibe causing all sorts of problems down the right flank.
