He is wasted on the bench. And regardless of what he earns, Ozil has proven he can be one of Arsenal's most important players. Former boss Arsene Wenger seemed to get the best out of him. You saw that in what Ozil contributed, especially in 2016-17 when he scored 25 goals in all competitions as an attacking midfielder. Wenger believed in him and seemed to trust him. You don't get that vibe with Emery.
It’s been a tumultuous couple of seasons for Everton who, despite heavy investment, have failed to fulfil their undoubted potential under Marco Silva. The former Hull and Watford boss was eventually axed, and while stand-in manager Duncan Ferguson has reinvigorated the club Boxing Day marks the start of a new era for the Toffees.
The Cherries doubled their lead deservedly six minutes later. Ryan Fraser's low drive from a Harry Wilson set-piece was spilled by former Liverpool keeper Reina in the direction of Ake, who stretched a leg out to send a low finish into the bottom corner. The one sour note for Howe and the home crowd was the sending-off of Lerma on 51 minutes. The Colombia midfielder received both yellow cards for tussles with Villa's star man Grealish and will miss the Cherries' next two games, away to Sheffield United and Burnley.
Van Dijk: I have seen them all - Ruud Krol, Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini. Virgil van Dijk. The centre-back is in that class and has thrilled us with his performances for Liverpool for two seasons now. They seem to be getting even better. In fact commentators can't wait for Van Dijk to make the occasional mistake so they have a talking point. Van Dijk has come a long way since his days at Southampton but fulfilled all the enormous promise he showed when he was at St Mary's.
Sunday's Ligue 1 clash was a thrilling match with five goals in the first half. The league leaders went 1-0 up, 2-1 down and 3-2 up before conceding an equalizer 19 minutes from time. PSG have a five-point lead at the top but do have this game in hand. That draw ended a run of eight straight wins for PSG and they have now scored 35 goals in their last eight matches but are struggling to keep clean sheets.

But with two minutes of normal time remaining substitute Christian Atsu pulled the ball back for his team-mate Shelvey, who beat the dive of Ederson with his strike. That is now 13 points dropped by Pep Guardiola's side who are eight behind Liverpool before the leaders host Brighton at 15:00 GMT. It all began well for City when they took the lead after an early period of dominance.
In the end, it was a valiant performance by the hosts and a good reaction after their poor run. Monk will hope they can now start to pick up in the league. Man of the match Bernardo Silva - (Manchester City) On a night City needed players to dig deep and graft, Silva delivered the ingredients required to overcome gritty opponentsProlific Sergio - the statsSince Pep Guardiola joined Manchester City in August 2016, the Spaniard has overseen 15 victories in FA Cup matches (D1 L2), at least five more wins in the competition than any other manager over this period.
OH Leuven U21 will host Club Brugge U21 for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. Both teams have highly variable results. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. Perhaps, the hosts are slight favorites on the home field. However, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Also, we have Club Brugge U21 who' is not very good team in recent times. However, the visitors have the motivation to change their position. They want to stay in the race for higher range. So, I expect, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.
Gorodjeja are yet to score a league goal this season. Belshina have only scored one league goal this season. Both of Gorodeja's league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them.

It was only Ogkmpoe's second league goal of the season, both of them against Celtic. The lead did not flatter Accies but things turned against them in the space of 90 seconds. Leigh Griffiths, who had earlier escaped with a yellow card when treading on Sam Woods' chest, got goal-side of 17-year-old Hamilton and then tumbled as the defender desperately tried to recover the situation, wrapping his arms around the striker.
City are huge favourites to prolong their winning streak against Southampton this weekend, though they will line up against a very different Saints side to the one they annihilated 9-0 at St. Mary's in an incredible Premier League battering in late-October.
So I am convinced that we will pick up in Berlin where we left off against Werder Bremen two weeks ago. Yet promoted Union are also in good form, having won three of their last four games to climb out of the bottom spots and into 11th place. We have a lot of points already and the team is playing good football," Wendt added.
Maddison, who had seven goals and seven assists last season, has already scored four times and notched two assists in 11 league games in the current campaign. He has shown he is a big-game player," Rodgers said. He has scored goals against Liverpool, against Tottenham, against Arsenal (this season). James is among a lot of very good players with England and it's just about preference, whether Gareth and his staff want to pick him.

Mane is a master of all trades, a jack of none. He is a goalscorer, a creator, a selfless defender. He never stops - he is the embodiment of this Klopp team. Players lead in many different ways - some shout and bawl, others lead by their brilliance married with a ferocious work ethic. Mane is the latter and would be a deserving winner of the PFA Player of the Year Award.
BUDAPEST, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former Barcelona and Brazil striker Ronaldinho has backed Pep Guardiola to end his Champions League barren run and win the trophy with Manchester City.

Game for the first division in Denmark with Vendsyssel facing Viborg on this contest that will take place next Sunday. The visitors, Viborg, are clearly the best team on this league. They are currently in the first place on this division with 33 points after 10 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. They won four of the last five games and should extend the good results on this contest against Vendsyssel, a team that is in the 5th place but only won one of the last five games. Good value on the visitors and we'll take them to get the win.
Neville has urged Solskjaer to be "selfish" by spending the club's money to buy "two or three experienced players". But the Norwegian says he could "never do that" and is "happy" with his current squad. I have those conversations with Ed all the time and we are looking at how we are going to look in one month's time, five months' time, in the longer period," added Solskjaer. He knows my feelings and we know our feelings.

However, Mitrovic inspired a late Fulham rally courtesy of his strike that bounced and deflected past North End goalkeeper Declan Rudd.

Manchester United need to build on that win at Chelsea. They still have a good chance of a top four finish despite losing eight league games this season. Only two of their 13 home league matches has been lost and their form at Old Trafford is going to be vitally important in the coming months. Watford are struggling again and their away form is poor with only two league wins. United can be backed to get a home win here.
The SPFL is planning for games in August and Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell says this is "definitely achievable". Football likely to return in August - Maxwell'Challenge' to keep all 42 SPFL clubs in businessThe Scottish government's plan to ease lockdown restrictions puts football in phase two, which could come into effect around 18 June if strict criteria are met. And the SPFL will ask whether clubs can return to training - initially in small groups - on 10 June.
Even though there was achievement in taking the lead at Old Trafford for the first time in the club's history, there was an air of inevitability about what followed. After all, Eddie Howe's side were also in front at Liverpool in March, only to concede twice before the break on their way to defeat. While United's front three had scored 51 times before kick-off and each found the net again on Saturday, Bournemouth's starting line-up had only managed eight goals between them this season.

Two teams without any relegation worries in this ending of the season and especially Santa Clara is very attacking minded as last round they even scored 4 goals away from home at league leaders at the time Benfica and won the game to everyone's surprise with 4-3 in the end, and they also won with 4th placed Braga with 3-2 at home after the restart and drew 2-2 at Setubal and 1-1 at home with Portimonense as well so odds of 2.60 on the over 2.5 goals are excellent.
Lyngby will host Odense for this fixture of the league. Both teams are teams of the relegation group. In my opinion, the visitors are in better shape than their opponent. In previous game Odense is won 2-0 against Sonderjyske. True, Odense is not very good team away from home. In any case, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Lyngby who's is weak team in this campaign. Lyngby have a poor results in the last matches. Also, the hosts have a vulnerable defense. In any case, I expect another one tough match for both sides. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.

I expect Fulham to win this match, however, the key reason for my pick is connect with Aston Villa. The guests were good during the festive period. They won two of the three matches in that period, but suffered a big blow. Villa manager Dean Smith has lost two important players - striker Wesley and goalkeeper Heaton. Both players had scans on Thursday and the news were bad - they will be sidelined for a longer period, from six to nine months. According to me, they are irreplaceable. Heaton has missed just one of Villa's 21 Premier League games this season, while Wesley has started them all, scoring five goals and assisting one. Don't forget last season's player of the year John McGinn was ruled out until March with a broken ankle suffered in December. Having on mind that, I think Aston Villa will lose this match.
Brentford have failed to score in their last three matches. Brentford haven't scored in their last two away league games. Four of the last six Brentford away league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Hull City have scored one goal in their last three home league games. It's not been a great week for either of these sides so hopefully a better weekend lies ahead for them.
This was really special. A perfect day. After more than eight and a half years away from the Premier League, Carlo Ancelotti is back in English football - and he could not be happier. He began his Everton managerial career with a 1-0 home win over Burnley - with Toffees supporters surely agreeing with the 60-year-old's verdict. The appointment of a three-time Champions League winner by a team who three weeks ago were in the relegation zone has raised plenty of eyebrows, but this felt like a significant moment for fans of a club without a trophy in almost 25 years.

It's genuinely just really exciting," he says, relaxing on the lush grass back at the club's new multi-million pound training centre. It's actually difficult to hear him as a procession of private jets fly off from the airport next door - the bling slaps you in the face then shouts in your ear just to make sure you get it. I had to push myself out of a comfort zone," Morgan says. I could have signed for clubs in the English Championship and tried it that way, but I feel like, to come and test myself with a coaching staff that primarily speaks Spanish, it's just testing myself both on and off the field.

Blackpool are not an easy side to get the better of, though their recent efforts suggest that they're on the slide. More importantly, Tranmere look a better side at home than the current odds suggest, so a small play on the home win offers punters some value. Not only have Rovers performed well at home against some useful sides, but their most recent home win bodes well ahead of a match against a Blackpool side that has started to struggle in the final third. In addition, Tranmere have also performed well at home in terms of shots on target, so much so that their average of 5.6 for makes them League 1's fourth-best team in that respect. Blackpool are League 1's fifth worst on the road.

Neman Grodno are only a place above the Belarus Premier League relegation zone and host 11th placed Rukh Brest.
