Nebitci will host Asgabat for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Ashgabat are undefeated in their last 4 matches. True, they have only 1 win in their last 5 matches. In any case, the visitors will have to invest to great effort in this game. Also, we have Nebitci who's is one of the main outsiders in this league. Hosts have low potential. Also, they have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, the hosts are more vulnerable team. I think, they have a very difficult task. My pick - Ashgabat to win.
French defender Clement Lenglet headed home the decisive goal in the 72nd minute from a Messi freekick but was then sent off for two bookings, moments after Betis' Nabil Fekir had been dismissed for earning two yellow cards in one instance. Barca had fallen behind in the sixth minute to a penalty from Sergio Canales after a VAR review showed Lenglet had handled the ball, but Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong promptly equalised with the help of a lofted pass from Messi.

That's not the case here though, as they host Milan. Lazio are yet to lose a home league game this season, Juventus are the only other side to still be unefeated on home soil. Lazio with 41 goals scored and just 11 conceded. That's the best scoring record at home and only Juventus have conceded less, so Lazio are strong at both ends of the pitch.
Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick while Phil Foden also got on the score-sheet as Manchester City swept Dinamo Zagreb aside in the final Group C game.

I switched off completely. My whole body went numb. I don't remember anything after the word 'cancer'. In August 2019, Hull City defender Angus MacDonald was preparing to resume his career after recovering from a dislocated shoulder and deep vein thrombosis just months apart.

Udinese have failed to win 67% of their games this season, while their record against the Neroverdi is poor. After losing the first match in Friuli, Sassuolo have gone unbeaten in their following five away Serie A matches against Udinese (W3, D2). On top of that, Sassuolo have lost just one of their last six trips in the league, so we are backing these two to play out a 1-1 draw on Sunday.
Wigan Athletic will host Preston North End for this fixture of the league. I expect, this will be a very tense match. Both teams want to get a positive result. Preston are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top six places in the table. However, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Wigan who's is one of the teams of relegation zone. True, Wigan are in better shape in recent times. They have two consecutive victories.

True, Masfut are in better shape in recent times. They have two consecutive victories. Of course, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. They will have to invest a great effort in this game.

West Ham have failed to win any of their last five Premier League matches. Manchester City have failed to score in back-to-back games for the first time under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City have won their last six meetings with West Ham by an aggregate score of 20-3. This Premier League weekend pits Manchester City against West Ham at the Etihad.
Dover Athletic will host Chesterfield for this fixture of the league. I expect, another one tough match for both sides. Both teams are not very good teams in the last matches. However, Dover have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts will closer to victory. Of course, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Chesterfield who's is one of the outsiders in this campaign. I think, they will have to invest a great effort in this game. Yeah, the visitors wants to get the victory because it is constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. However, the hosts want to win. They have two consecutive losses. They have to break the poor series.

The Gunners were somewhat shaky defensively against Wolverhampton Wanderers but managed an impressive 2-0 win in the Saturday game. The win also came with a third straight clean sheet in the league, signaling an improvement in defence since Arteta started playing with wingbacks.

Look who's back Harry Kane has scored 11 goals so far this seasonThe resumption of the Premier League will also be good news for those players who thought injury had put paid to their season. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho will be one of the bigger beneficiaries of that, with England striker Harry Kane likely to be back to full fitness. Kane had surgery on a hamstring injury in January that, under normal circumstances, would have ended his involvement in 2019-20, while his Spurs team-mate Son Heung-min, recently back from South Korea after completing national service, will also be able to feature after recovering from a broken arm.
They have ways to control it from an agronomy standpoint," said Immelman. But playing in November, which I have done a number of times, the scoring won't quite be as low as it has been the last few years.

Tottenham's two goals at Carrow Road came via a direct Christian Eriksen free kick and a late Harry Kane penalty, though the strikes did help to maintain the club's 2.125 goals per 90-minute average under Mourinho in the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho was supposedly meant to be delivering trophies when he arrived as Tottenham manager in November but their situation means the top four, and Champions League football, is what they really need. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Tolu's prediction: I am so anti-Spurs - and this is a tough one for them, especially without Harry Kane, because they are having a difficult spell at the moment and struggling for goals.
It is different after the new year - there are different pressures. The trip to Ewood Park did look tricky but Robben's goal secured another win and another excellent quote. Look at the blond boy in midfield, Robbie Savage, who commits 20 fouls during the game and never gets a booking," Mourinho said. We came here to play football and it was not a football game, it was a fight and we fought and I think we fought fantastically.
Veteran wingers Pedro and Willian are out of contract at the end of the season. I don't know.

Juventus have won 2-1 on five occasions in Serie A this season, so we’re backing a repeat on Sunday. Half of Juve’s home games this term have finished with exactly three goals scored.

Pohang Steelers are in good form.I expect them to win this game .
Burnley are coming from a heavy defeat and will be seeking to make amends here, while Watford are looking to avoid the drop. Watford can fight, as we have seen in a number of their matches this season. However, they are among the poorest sides away from home in the league, with just two wins in 15. On the other hand, Burnley have been fairly comfortable at home and have a good run too over Watford in the last few meetings. With the two sides’ home/away forms, we feel a Burnley win is more likely here.
Should really have scored from that position. MISS! What a chance for Dele Alli. Brilliant setup play from Harry Kane, laying the ball across into the path of Alli, 12 yards out, but the England midfielder blazes over. The form he is in, he at least had to hit the target from there. GOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!! Norwich 1-0 Tottenham.

De Graafschap enter this away fixture with a good record within the league of at least 3 wins and 2 draws in their last five matches have an aggregate goal tally of 49. The host Psv have been in dismal form in their last five matches having on won 1 and lost 3 in their last five matches and have conceded almost twice as much as they have scored .I reckon that this match will produce a total tally of at least two goals but mainly because Graafschap will be away on this match a straight win will be a tricky prediction
