I'm going to go with a draw. Match preview Bournemouth v ChelseaBournemouth beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before Christmas, when they won comfortably, but that was not the only poor home result the Blues have had this season. Frank Lampard's side seem to be more comfortable on the road, although they have had not always got the results their away performances have deserved - take last month's defeat at Newcastle for example.

At 21 years 38 days, Eddie Nketiah is the youngest Arsenal player to be sent off in the Premier League since Konstantinos Mavropanos, also against Leicester in May 2018 (20y 149d). Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is just the fourth player to score at least 10 Premier League goals against Arsenal, after Wayne Rooney (12), Robbie Fowler and Harry Kane (both 10). Since his debut in January 2016, Leicester's Demarai Gray has registered eight assists as a sub in the Premier League, more than any other player.
AFC Wimbledon will host Gillingham for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent and I think they have the potential to pick up the victory in this game. Gillingham is very average team in this season. However, the visitors are in better shape in recent times. In previous game Gillingham is won 1-0 against Lincoln. Also, we have Wimbledon who's is one of the outsiders in this league. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result because they are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. However, they are in poor shape. In any case, the hosts are more vulnerable team and for me they could lose.
Home team Budapest Honved is currently in second place. 7 rankings with 41 points. Specifically, after 31 matches, they won 11 wins. The remaining 8 draws are 12 defeats. Budapest Honved's current form is not good when only. Get 1 win and 1 draw and 3 losses. However, this match was returned to the home ground and only had to welcome. A team is not in good form, Budapest Honved is not difficult to get 3 points.

And I remember from the warm-up that I felt pretty light, “I remember me and Kristoffer Haugen, the newcomer from Viking, playing a little, and Grandma and Grandpa were in the stands. They stood with the Molde fans, I had fixed tickets there and it was sunny outside and then the match started then, and it went as it went,” Haaland concludes with a massive smile on his face.
They scored a good goal to pull one back in the second half but the final score was not a true reflection of what the game was about. The celebrations that carried on and on City manager Joe Mercer shows off the Cup Winners’ Cup trophy at the the team’s official reception the next day at Manchester town hallThis was a night to remember for City's players, but maybe not for their partners. The thing that stands out in my mind is that there was a Uefa banquet afterwards for the team and the officials, and the players' wives were all there too," Davies added.

It’s something they could really do without. TRANSFER MARKET WON'T OPEN OVERNIGHT But in terms of whether this transfer could happen, I think it’s impossible to say because the whole thing relates to football starting again. If, for example, the Premier League decided to void this season then football clubs are not going to have the full money that they anticipated.
Players will try and do the right thing and they just needed some time and I think the politicians jumped the gun when things were being prepared. People behind the scenes knew that and it was unfortunate a picture got painted. But a lot of players and clubs have stood up in a good way, not every situation has been perfect but in a good way generally, and knowing players, that has been a very good reaction and it’s on-going and it shouldn’t stop.

Paper Round’s view: Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann should be enough to defeat even the very best backlines in Europe, but it does leave them open to problems if either of them are injured. Now that Mario Mandzukic has gone to Qatar there is no obvious stopgap solution, but Eric Abidal pulled off a surprise with Kevin-Prince Boateng this time last season.
Greece top league. Team Atromitos will play at home with team Larissa. Both teams are in the top of relegation group. And they are having any big motivation on this match. Hosts are coming after defeat 0-1. And my bet on guests with AH + 0.5. Team Larissa did a win in the last match played. Last h2h match between our teams was ended how 1-1 here . So, a draw is possible to see here. Guests don't play draw games in the last 4 games. I think this bet is a good way on this event. I recommend to try this bet with me !
The Red Devils have the option of triggering a one-year extension for Pogba, but are believed to be entertaining interest in his services from Real Madrid and Juventus. The 27-year-old has played only eight games for United this season, and two since September, during an injury-ravaged season. He was due to make his comeback from ankle surgery this month, but that has been curtailed by the suspension of all football due to the coronavrius pandemic.
Their biggest quagmire has been in defence and in the last two matches they were exposed again, dropping five points after taking the lead.

Slimani is currently on loan at Monaco, but that spell could be cut short if Spurs come in for the Algerian, who is also attracting interest from Aston Villa.

Fernandes joined Sporting from Sampdoria for £7. Portuguese Cup with Sporting last season. He has played 19 times for Portugal and was a member of the squad that won the UEFA Nations League. Our view: FINALLY At last, Fernandes to United is official. Questions have been asked as to whether Fernandes can be the goalscoring midfielder United are craving, and it will now be down to him to provide the answer.
I'm very fast, I'm skilful, I'm strong, I have good techniques, so I can find my way in the field of play," he said. They have a striker that stays mostly in the middle, but Martial likes to come from the side, even Rashford, so you need someone in the middle that can keep the ball, hold the ball. They need a physicality up front to keep the ball, to give and to make some movement, which I believe if everything goes well I can add to the team.
Belshin are newly promoted to the Premier League after winning the second tier title last season. They have failed to make a good start to their first season in the top flight since 2016.

It never really sunk in until the next day. There were people stood on the roof of Aberdeen Airport, we had an open-top bus into town with people lining the streets. You couldn't see Union Street, there must have been 250,000 people on it, a sea of red and white. The camaraderie in the dressing room was amazing, even to this day we have a group chat with the Gothenburg boys - the banter is amazing.
We have seen some clusters of infections and, although we have fortunately been able to control them, I still don't see [fans returning].

We're going to take our time and provide information so the sports department can make the decision when necessary," added Illa.

I had to do what was morally correct, even though it was difficult to say no. But we made the right choice and now people realise it was correct. Closing the doors to a match is difficult for many reasons but in the end we have to take these decisionsSteven ZhangInter Milan presidentInter took a hard-line approach to the closed-doors game they played. In addition to players, coaches and support staff, the numbers allowed to attend the Ludogorets game were kept to an absolute minimum.
The side have still only averaged a goal a game in their last four games though, a sum that they really need to improve on in order to challenge this season.

Like Derby, Millwall, after flirting with the top six in recent seasons, didn't get off to a great start under long-serving manager Neil Harris, but they've since turned things around after a managerial switch-up.
The visitors have lost their way quite dramatically of late. They went from one of the league’s best defensive sides to a team who have let in 13 goals across their last six games. They had a habit of keeping things tight on the road, but the promotion contenders shipped four goals in a win at Birmingham over Christmas, while they lost 2-1 at Fulham.
The win sees Gian Piero Gasperini’s side take control in the race for a top-four finish as Atalanta have 45 points, six ahead of Roma with a better head-to-head record than the capital club.

You don't force it, you don't put the pressure on, he knows that is his job. Vardy's last goal came on 21 December in a 3-1 loss away at Manchester City and the Foxes have only won three of nine league matches since. They also went out of the Carabao Cup, losing 3-2 on aggregate to Aston Villa in the semi-finals. Leicester's inconsistent run has left them third in the Premier League, seven points behind second-placed Manchester City, but six points ahead of Chelsea in fourth and they play at bottom-of-the-table Norwich on Friday (20:00 GMT).
In the end it would be better for football. One of the more ridiculous opinions from Mr Ramos, especially as Messi shouldn’t have even won it this year.

He may have won a host of trophies, scored more than 100 career goals and earned 56 England caps, but Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling will not be satisfied until he adds something else to his collection - a Lionel Messi shirt.

There's only one that I really want and that's a Messi shirt,” Sterling said before his latest ePremier League Invitational tournament match against Everton’s Andre Gomes.
NYON, Switzerland, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The women's Champions League is to be transformed with the introduction of a group stage in what European governing body UEFA says will be a "game changer". UEFA said on Wednesday that, instead of the knockout format which is currently used, the competition would consist of groups of four once it reached the last 16 from the 2021-2022 season onwards.
Spurs were listless, lifeless, exposed. All the things that led to Pochettino's demise were laid out in front of Mourinho. Gazzaniga performed in a manner that suggested Hugo Lloris' return in goal cannot come soon enough, while the way in which Olympiakos cut through will exercise Mourinho's mind as he plots the future. In better news, Dele Alli's revival continued and Kane proved he will be central to everything Mourinho wants to achieve as he became the quickest player to reach 20 goals in the Champions League.
The hosts are capable of scoring 3 or even 4 goals all by themselves here, as they have scored 73 goals in 24 games this season and have a big lead at the top of the league table, 2 more games remaining to be played this season and they have won the title with many rounds remaining to be played but really attacking minded side keep on scoring and winning games with ease both at home but also away from home.
