Watford's victory over Liverpool was the biggest over a side starting the day top of the top-flight table by a team in the relegation zone since Leicester beat Manchester United 3-0 on November 23rd 1985. Watford secured their first top-flight victory against a side starting the day top of the table since the final day of the 1982-83 season, also beating Liverpool that day (2-1).

Dinamo Brest are defending champions and after a slow start have moved into top gear. They have three wins in four games and can be backed to get another victory at Vitebsk. Their opponents aren't that great on home soil and Brest can get the win here.
And, of course, football itself is a job of work: a short-lived, often precarious one, with big wages at the top but much uncertainty below. But on the whole, it’s encouraging to see players and directors realise that there’s more to being part of a football club than getting paid by one. IN OTHER NEWS Lots of people with nothing to do + the internet = some really quite creative ways of passing the time.
Premier League champions Manchester City got back to winning ways by coming from behind to beat in-form Chelsea in an entertaining game. The visitors, who had won their previous seven away games, led when N'Golo Kante slipped the ball past Ederson from Marco Kovacic's aerial pass. At that stage City were facing back-to-back Premier League defeats which would have left them 12 points behind leaders Liverpool and given them an uphill task to retain their title.

All four of Michail Antonio's Premier League goals for West Ham against Spurs have come at different venues - Upton Park, White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and London Stadium.
Luton take on Charlton in this round of the Championship later this evening and I believe that we are going to have over 2.5 goals in this game. The hosts have managed to score an average of 1.5 goals in their games at home and they should score a goal in this game as a consolation in my view. The visitors have been scoring an average of 1.5 goals when they go on the road and they should be able to score at least 2 goals here for the win as they have plenty of quality at the moment here
Manchester City has done a really bad job at Premier League this season and it will be tough to come back at this point. They have to just win everything from now on and still hope Liverpool fall in form. It is true that we are still still far away from the cover of the season but Liverpool built a decent lead and I cannot believe they will throw it away with the power they have. City has to focus on other trophies they can win but not despise totally the league. This is a game they can win. A
Southampton were thrown a lifeline when Palace defender Martin Kelly under-hit a back pass to Tomkins, and Ings pounced to fire a simple equaliser.

The meeting in Athens between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Aleksander Ceferin, the president of European soccer's ruling body, comes after parliament passed legislation last week easing sanctions on soccer clubs whose bosses own shares in multiple teams.
After a defeat in last round against Bristol City, 2-3, it seems that Derby will stay out of playoff in current season, they are in the middle of standings, and today they will play against Huddersfield Town, club which is just two places above relegation line. Derby will be without pressure in this duel, as they are in safe zone, off course they want to continue with good results in front of their fans, with Martin in attack, Waghorn, Lawrence, and Wayne Rooney in the starting line up, I expect a clear victory for Derby with more than 1.5 goals AH
Wednesday’s meeting with Norwich is Arsenal’s first competitive game at Emirates Stadium since March, as they returned from lockdown with four away games - at Manchester City, Brighton and Southampton in the Premier League, and then at Sheffield United in the FA Cup on Sunday.

That’s now disappeared. They were never going to get that with Mourinho as manager. We saw at Manchester United that his football was negative and boring, where players were being questioned because they were being asked to do stuff they weren’t used to doing. But Daniel Levy ignored all of that and parked the club's footballing DNA in pursuit of trophies.
Aleinik called it an "unprecedented situation". Dinamo Minsk, seven-time Premier League winners, had a player sent off in the 58th minute as they lost to neighbours FC Minsk, who lead the table two games into the 2020 season. Alexander Strok, a Dinamo Minsk spokesman, hopes the international attention will help the players "get more responsible" after two straight defeats. Fans around the world have been posting messages about football in Belarus on social media with Starboard Wunmi tweeting: "You know you're obsessed with football when you're checking out the recent form of Slutsk and Dinamo Brest before their games kicks off in the Belarus Premier League.
This is another match that will be played without spectators. Here the host has a great advantage. Leverkusen can use this opportunity to get involved in the fight for the first place again if Bayern does not win 3 points away against Borussia Dortmund today. Leverkusen have a series of 11 victories in the last 12 matches, which only shows that they are in great form. They were not disturbed by this break. In 2020, Leverkusen scored at least 2 goals in each match on this field. So I believe this is another of their victories. Wolfsburg is definitely a worse team at the moment
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday that the club was not going to stand in the way of allowing Young to move to the Italian giants.

let's take a look at the German Bundesliga where Freiburg will play host to Paderborn at Schwarzwald stadium. The hosts come to this match with 2 wins in five games losing 2 and drawing once, a win for them today will see them overtake Bayern Leverkusen to 6th place. There home form has been pretty impressive losing only 1 game in their last five attempts. The visitors Paderborn are last on the log with 12 points they are coming from a heavy 4-1 defeat by Leverkusen, they have been hot or cold this season there recent form hasn't been bad with 2 wins in five. By my judging its hard to see Freiburg dropping points to Paderborn. I predict a home win here
The future England manager had reached a European final earlier in his career, losing the Uefa Cup over two legs to Schalke of Germany when coach at Inter Milan. He wanted to make amends badly. We had two players sent off," recalls Schwarzer. There was a very average decision to send Erik Nevland off when Roma got a penalty, then Paul Konchesky lost his head a bit so we ended with nine men. Roy was fuming after the game.
The Blades have lost only one of their 15 league meetings with Bournemouth (W9 D5), a 1-0 home defeat in 1987.

The gaffer has won at every club he's gone to -- there's no hiding away from that," Kane told the British media. He's a proven winner.
The squad at the Wanda Metropolitano no longer looks to be one in the image of the irritable, restless man in the dugout. While Simeone must have seen something of himself in the likes of Diego Godin and Juanfran, the same can’t be said of current players like Felix and Thomas Lemar. Atletico Madrid have spent over £450 million on transfers over the past three years.

Ronaldo was really robbed of the Ballon d'Or last season, when Real Madrid decided to make sure he couldn't win it and that was really weird,” Chiellini told Sky Sport Italia. This season, it was more balanced. With all due respect, Modric even in his best season of his career didn't deserve it. That was a signal from Real Madrid, as they wanted to stop Ronaldo winning it.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2Simon's prediction: City have been flying since the restart, and I had a feeling they would beat Liverpool. They still have a lot to play for this season in the FA Cup and Champions League even though the title has officially gone now - there is no way Pep will let things just fizzle out in the Premier League. With Ings doing so well, Southampton might score, but City will get more.
The 29th round of matches in the Championship gets underway this Wednesday and among the matches, Nottingham City will be hosting Reading. The two go to the game with Nottingham in fifth place on 47 points while Reading have 36 points, being in 16th place. Nottingham have four wins, two clean sheets and four losses in their last 11 matches and they have failed to score in four of their last 15 matches.
I do not really pick out a draw in a game but this game has very good chances to be ending this way as the hosts have 3 draws in a row at home at this moment and 4 draws in a row in the league at this moment two of them with 1-1 and two with just 0-0 in the end and since the guests are quite tight in defense as well I do not really see a high scoring game in this one and I predict either a 1-1 or 0-0 draw in this one to happen as odds are quite decent on the draw bet.
West Ham, who are 18th in the table have won each of their last four Premier League games against 12th-placed Southampton.

Vendsyssel will host Viborg for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Viborg is the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 33 points. Visitors have 4 victories in their last 5 matches. In last game Viborg is won 2-1 against weak Naestved. Also, we have Vendsyssel who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 6th place with 22 points. In last game Vendsyssel lost 3-0 against F. Amager. So, the hosts lost on the previous game and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well. I expect, they will pay attention on their defense. Also, Vendsyssel will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch.

As far as the visitors are concerned things haven't gone to plan. Being drawn with Atletico, Juventus and Leverkusen probably meant that the Russians came into the group without much confidence, though they would've wanted to put up more of a fight than they have.
With a string of high scoring games at St Andrew’s of late, we also expect the visitors to claim a 2-1 victory here. The Blues have conceded twice in each of their last four home games, while Blackburn have scored eight times across their last five trips.

Leicester face both Liverpool and Manchester City over the Christmas period. It's just natural - Manchester City and Liverpool are both incredible teams in the league and have shown last year how good they were," added Rodgers. For us, we know that we are constantly trying to improve and look to close the gap. But I thought today we looked like a top team.

Gary Neville collapsed on his back for the second time in a minute. He had done so when Solskjaer scored, because he was too exhausted to run half the length of the field. That’s an out-of-body experience, that,” said Neville of the final whistle. His fatigue was particularly understandable; he was the only United player to start each of the last 10 games of the season.
