Follow all Saturday's Premier League actionHodgson's landmark day goes to scriptDespite Brighton enjoying greater possession and more efforts on goal than Palace, this was another performance that went to script for Hodgson who was celebrating his 100th Premier League match in charge of the Eagles. The former England boss stressed before kick-off that he was not bothered about controlling the game as long as his team could deliver in the final third.
A key component in their bid for promotion is maintaining a strong home form. The hosts go into the fixture on New Years Day with the best home record in the division having taken an impressive 26 points from their 12 matches on home soil. Given that they have kept a clean sheet in 42% of their home matches, it is easy to see why they are so strong in front of their own fans.
Michy Batshuayi and Fikayo Tomori scored in either half as Chelsea beat Championship side Hull to reach the FA Cup fifth round. The Blues took an early lead when Batshuayi's strike deflected off Hull's Ryan Tafazolli and the ball flew beyond wrong-footed goalkeeper George Long. Chelsea dominated the rest of the half with Long required to make a series of good saves, but after the break the Championship side enjoyed a spell of domination where they threatened an equaliser.
We did a great first half, it was maturity in the second half. We have to be honest and humble to admit physically we are not ready. But where physically you are not there you have to put your hearts in. You can't change from zero to 10 in one day, one week, one month, but it is beautiful to see how these kids start to understand their commitment, their behaviours of what they need to do for big things in life and big things in football.
On his return to the starting XI in the 2-0 FA Cup win over Liverpool, the 25-year-old’s first contribution came in the form of an impressive triple save – a glimpse of the potential that is sometimes overshadowed by casual mistakes. It’s clear that Lampard wants to strengthen throughout the pitch and with Neuer having been linked with a move to SW6 – what does this mean for Kepa? COULD NEUER UNLOCK KEPA’S POTENTIAL? “Should the move materialise then Neuer would bring a wealth of experience, having enjoyed success at the very highest level of both domestic and international football,” posits Few.
The Hampshire duo, who occupy the top two spots in Women's National League Division One South West, have one of the most peculiar situations of any local rivals in the country, and they were actually joined by a third club from the city - 'Southampton Saints Girls & Ladies FC' - until the Saints' 40-year history halted as they folded amid financial difficulties in 2019. All of Sunday's Women's FA Cup fixturesRead more: Mystery of missing trophy from first finalBut it is the Romsey-based Southampton Women's FC whose formative years brought remarkable success despite the difficulties that followed the ban on females playing the game enforced by the Football Association.
Speaking ahead of United’s Boxing Day game against Newcastle United, Solskjaer did not hold back his excitement at having the World Cup winner back following a length recovery from a foot injury and a brief illness. Video - 'Liverpool and Chelsea target opens door to big January move' - Euro Papers01:48 United have an excellent record against the teams above them, undefeated for the season, but they have repeatedly failed to convince against the traditionally smaller sides below them in the league.
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.
Highly improbable that the story ends here'BBC Scotland chief sports writer Tom EnglishAnd so the spin begins. Twenty-seven votes against having an independent inquiry and 13 votes for; 64% of clubs against the investigation into the SPFL's corporate governance and 31% went in favour. If you're Neil Doncaster and the SPFL board you're saying that enough clubs have spoken and this should be the end of the most divisive chapter in the history of the organisation.
Leonardo Jardim's Monaco have been in fine form over the last few weeks with seven wins in their last ten games launching them up to 11th in the table, just three points off third. Their last match was a dominant 3-0 win over Amiens and even in the absence of their suspended second top scorer Islam Slimani, who will be back for this match, they were so clinical with them rarely allowing their opponents any time on the ball. Les Monegasques have seven goals in their last four games and will be confident in their abilities as they travel to an Angers side off the boil.
Tondela concede an average of 0/83 goals per away game which is below the league average of 1.44 and have scored first in four of their five home games, so if the hosts score first on Saturday you would expect them to go on and win the game.
His remains have never been found. UN Special Rapporteur Agnes Callamard said there was credible evidence that Crown Prince Mohammed and other high-level Saudi officials were individually liable. A court in Saudi Arabia last year sentenced five people to death and jailed three others over his murder, while Turkey has separately charged 20 suspects over the murder. Who are the main people involved in the potential deal?Premier League warned over takeoverWhat do we know about the takeover?Ashley put the club up for sale in 2017 and the proposed Saudi takeover has already caused much controversy.
At 19 years and 157 days, Curtis Jones (48) is the youngest Liverpool player to score a Premier League goal since Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was 19 years and 80 days old when he scored against Swansea in December 2017That was only their second attempt on goal - the first time in almost two years that the Reds had managed just two shots in the first half of a Premier League game. Roberto Firmino, left on the bench as Klopp rotated his squad, came on just after the hour and only then did the hosts really start to look like their old selves.
Stoke will be chasing vital points in Tuesday’s meeting, with this game potentially huge in the fight for survival. The hosts have lost their last three games, but they will believe that this home clash is a chance to turn things around.
As a result of that poor defence, only KRC Genk (12) have conceded more goals in open play in this season's UEFA Champions League than Atalanta (11). We see that form carrying through this Champions League clash, with over 1.5 Dinamo Zagreb goals our pick for Tuesday’s meeting.
On Saturday, Norwich return to Carrow Road, where they have endured a pretty miserable time since their summer promotion. City were beaten in four of their last five Premier League games in East Anglia, and their wonderful 3-2 triumph over defending champions Man City there in September feels like a lifetime ago.
Municipal Jalapa have had recent successes against Real Esteli, including a 2-0 win at the Estadio Independencia last November. But it's very hard to ignore the more emphatic scorelines in that head-to-head record. That double-figured win and the strength of Real Esteli at home sway us to back the home side.

What we don't know is whether the new owner has repaid that loan by putting his own money in, which would swap the loan over. Krasner said there are "no guarantees" Wigan's players will receive their wages, which are due on Friday, although he hoped to pay at least some of them. He revealed the approach to the administrators was initially made on 24 June but it was decided not to do anything until after Wigan's 3-0 win over Stoke at the DW Stadium on Tuesday as it couldn't be assumed the players were insured and the administrators wanted to avoid being liable for any injuries.
Lok. Plovdiv awaits the winner of this second time in the Semis of the cup competition, in the final after they defeated Levski in a double leg ended yesterday. And the first leg between CSKA Sofia and Botev Plovdiv was indeed a very boring one with the hosts mainly concerned of not conceding, of course they would not have minded scoring and taking a lead in this return leg, but as things start they still hold a pretty decent chance of reaching the final.
The forward shoots first time, and it hits the post and goes in. BIG SAVE! Haller finds Fornals with a cute pass across the penalty area, and all of a sudden he's got the shooting chance. Formals half-volleys the ball at goal but McCarthy does well to tip it over for a corner. That could be a huge moment if Southampton go on to get back into this game.
The former Chelsea manager took over at Inter last year and has led a robust challenge to end Juve’s eight-year stranglehold on the Italian league title and earn the Milanese club their first Scudetto in 10 years. Lazio top the table on 62 points, two ahead of Juventus who have one game in hand, and eight clear of Inter, who have two games in hand.
This is the first time that I have faced a Brazilian team but this is also the first time Flamengo have played a team like Liverpool. The last last time the two clubs faced each other was in the 1981 Intercontinental Cup final, the precursor to the Club World Cup. Bob Paisley's Liverpool were beaten 3-0 in Tokyo by a Zico-inspired side. Dream come true to play in final' Alisson celebrates Liverpool's semi-final victory with Brazilian team-mate Roberto FirminoLiverpool's goalkeeper Alisson Becker says it is a "dream come true" to play in the final.

Begovic having Milan medical Bournemouth keeper Asmir Begovic is set for a move to AC Milan and is currently undergoing a medical at the Italian club, according to widespread reports in the UK.
The Brewers have won each of their last two at home, scoring seven goals in the process. Such form bodes well ahead of a home game against League Two opposition. In general, Burton have been tough to beat at home this term, though they struggled for a while to score goals. Now that they've seemingly solved that problem, Nigel Clough's men will likely go from being tough to face to extremely tough to face at Pirelli Stadium. Not only have they scored seven in their last two at this venue, but they've also fired off 42 shots, 15 of which hit the target.
Having lost their last two, Blackburn aren’t exactly arriving on a high. However, before that pair of defeats they were on an eight-game unbeaten run. The visitors are looking return to form by capitalising on this current Birmingham side. The Blues look to be there for the taking, so we can see the visitors getting a result here.

As was always going to be the case, Genk have struggled in Group E. They've struggled to impose themselves, scoring just five in five, which is the lowest total in the group, while they've also struggled immensely at the back.
Paper Round's view: It's completely understandable if Dean Henderson wants to head back to Bramall Lane next term if he isn't starting for Manchester United. De Gea is such an influential player at Old Trafford and he has been a starter at the club for nearly nine years. It will be tough for Henderson to push De Gea out of the first team, but if Real Madrid make a move, it could make the decision for United.
Read the full story Clubs face obstacles to signing youngsters The Daily Telegraph reports that Premier League clubs will find it difficult to sign young European players after Brexit goes ahead at the end of the week. There is a split opinion over the chances of signing 16- and 17-year-old players according to lawyers, so there may be a late flurry of action in order to make sure that deals are completed before Britain exits the European Union.
Given the sacrifices that many people are making, including some of my colleagues in the NHS who have made the ultimate sacrifice of going into work and have caught the disease and have sadly died, I think the first thing that Premier League footballers can do is make a contribution, take a pay cut and play their part.
Daniel Friedkin is in talks to buy AS Roma although the Italian soccer club said a formal deal had not yet been agreed. The Financial Times reported the deal would value AS Roma at 750 million euros ($840 million), including debt, a record figure for a Serie A team. Shares in AS Roma are listed on the stock market in Milan and the club is controlled by another group of American investors headed by James Pallotta.
Whilst Wigan hardly came into the season expecting to fight at the top end of the Championship, their performances in it so far have been disappointing. Indeed, the side find themselves second bottom and 3 points short of safety, after taking just 17 points from 21 outings.
But if it was always that easy for you to get out the best player of the opponent then there is something wrong with the game. If the player does nothing wrong but it’s still possible – wow! "Everyone runs against his elbow or whatever – that should not happen. We expect a really ‘experienced’ performance from Atletico, let me say that.

Well in this game I decided not to risk anything and to go with most obvious bet on very low odd, but I am absolutely sure in this and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to bet on low odds, because despite Sunderland did not won four games in a row, they are still very good team at least at home and they are rarely losing points versus weaker teams then them and Bolton is surely weaker teams and also they are worst team in the league in offense on the road so Sunderland should be able to win at least with 1 0
She scored a late equaliser in the 3-3 draw with title rivals Chelsea last month and came on as a substitute to score in May's FA Cup final. Hemp's England debut came in the 1-0 victory over Portugal in October and she was part of the side watched by 77,768 at Wembley a month later. Her impressive form for club and country could even boost her chances of a call-up for Team GB at the Olympics in July and she will hope to use the SheBelieves Cup to showcase her rising pedigree.
