Atalanta have registered good results in the recent matches after struggling for a better part of the season so far and a big advantage for them is the fact that they are scoring a lot. They are however not as strong in defence. On the flipside, Milan are not scoring a lot but they are considerably strong in defence. While Atalanta have been scoring a lot, Milan’s scoring trend is more consistent; they have scored in 12 of the last 15 matches. Atalanta have conceded the most among the top 10 teams and by their run we believe they will concede here too. Milan have five clean sheets in the last 15 matches and we feel they will be opened up here as well. Based on their attack/defence attributes we feel these sides cancel out and just like it has been in five of the last eight meetings, we expect this to end in a draw.
Going to this match, Barcelona are top of La Liga standings with 65 points while Athletic have 42 points, in ninth place. The race for the title is tight and after dropping two points in the draw with Sevilla, Barcelona will want to look at this as a must win clash. Second placed Real Madrid, with a game in hand, are just three points behind Barca, which should be a motivation for the Catalans.
Italy World Cup winner Daniele de Rossi has announced his retirement at the age of 36. De Rossi has left Argentine side Boca Juniors, who he joined in the summer, and ends an 18-year career. Prior to joining Boca, De Rossi spent his entire career at Serie A club Roma, who he played for 616 times. The Italian, who won the World Cup in 2006, told a news conference he was retiring to spend more time with his family.
Dawson is not averse to scoring the occasional goal, normally with his head, but his immaculate overhead equaliser for the Hornets (his first goal for the club) must go down as one of his best. Did you know? Dawson's goal was his first in the Premier League in 31 appearances (since February 2018). Midfielders - Adama Traore (Wolves), Kevin de Bruyne (Man City), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), Luka Milivojevic (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Man City) Traore: I don't understand managers sometimes.
All of us, not just me. We´re happy we can play such a game, a Clasico. I remember this as a player, this is the kind of game you live for. So right now we´re only focused on the pitch. We know our rival, they´re a very good team and they´ve been proving so for a long time now. We know the player they have, Messi, but we also have our weapons.

Football leagues will be allowed to open transfer windows before the current campaign is concluded under new regulations announced by Fifa on Thursday. The world governing body announced the measures in response to the delays to leagues across the globe caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has already said England's top flight will not allow clubs to sign players before 25 July, after the delayed campaign is brought to an end.
We are frustrated because we want to be winning games and we want to be scoring goals at home. We have good attacking players which can make a difference and they know they can do better but we cannot get too down, we just need to keep doing what we are doing. QPR manager Mark Warburton told BBC Radio London:"We've come to a tough venue against a very good opponent, restricted them to no shots on target, dominated long periods of the game, had numerous chances ourselves and you've got to get a clean sheet.
I will risk a bet where ergotelis has proven to be a fairly dangerous team in attack. They have a very good squad and can prove lethal against Any team. I like the way they play and scoring goals in recent matches. So I hope a great game from and they may win it as well., trikala on the other hand, has a very good defense. But ergotelis have a much better team and they may win this match easily. But their defense is not doing well and they have conceded 6 goals in their last 5 matches. I expect over 2.5 goals to be scored.
Manager Nuno Espirito Santo is counting on the atmosphere at Molineux to inspire his team when they face Espanyol in the first leg of their Europa League last-32 tie on Thursday. Wolves, runners-up in the competition in 1972 when it was known as the Uefa Cup, began this season's run in July. The group stages, all the games were a full house," said Nuno. We want to have this atmosphere at Molineux, our fans helping us, creating a fantastic atmosphere.
With respect to Villa, it is one thing to do it successfully against them; it is another for Leicester to try it against a team with two of the best full-backs on the planet. The attacking threat and crossing ability of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson are among Liverpool's biggest strengths, and encouraging them forward would be a big risk. So, maybe Rodgers will try something slightly different this time.

Ole Gunnar Solskajer's side came into the game with one loss in their previous nine games, and although they improved after the break, they rarely tested Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno. It was characteristic of a stop-start season in which they are yet to win three Premier League games in a row. The defeat leaves them fifth in the table, five points behind Chelsea, who drew with Brighton earlier in the day.
Aubameyang joined Arsenal in January 2018 for about 56 million pounds ($69. He was the league's top scorer last season with 22 strikes and has 17 league goals in the current campaign. The 30-year-old Gabon international's contract with the Premier League club expires at the end of next season. I don't want to say that Arsenal aren't ambitious, but Arsenal don't have ambitions as high as some other clubs as far as Europe is concerned," Mounguengui told ESPN.
Oscar is a spectacular player, top level,” said Leganes coach Javier Aguirre. He’s pure talent, he’s got a shot similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. I see him at Real Madrid, along with Martin Odegaard and Kubo the Santiago Bernabeu is going to enjoy it. REAL SOCIEDAD’S MESSI STRATEGY Real Sociedad utilised an interesting technique to defend a Lionel Messi free-kick at Camp Nou.
In addition, Leicester scored exactly two goals in three of their last four meetings with Brighton on their way to picking up maximum points in each of those three contests, though they conceded at other end in the most recent brace of encounters with Albion.

Steve McManamanOverseas clubs played for: Real MadridMajor honours won overseas: Champions League (2000, 2002), La Liga (2001, 2003), Uefa Super Cup (2002)Why him? Often overlooked, it's easy to forget just how good a player Steve McManaman was. A key player at Euro 96, he was versatile enough to play right across midfield and was superb with the ball at his feet at times. Liverpool failed to offer him a good enough deal to stay and he became a high-profile free transfer to Real Madrid in 1999.
It is also a reasonable point that footballers should not be the ones financially saving their clubs. On the other hand, these are fabulously wealthy people who could and are doing lots of good by donating a portion of their salary to people who need it more. We’re not sure where Arsenal’s proposals that their players take a pay cut lies on those scales, but the Daily Telegraph reports that the Gunners’ players have voted against a 12.
It's very easy for it to escalate from VAR talk and chat to slapping each other on the back and talking about their conquests at the weekend," chief executive Ann Francke told BBC radio. Francke said she was not calling for a ban on sports banter in the office or shop floor but felt there needed to be greater awareness and sensitivity towards female staff who might be excluded.
Speaking to Spanish television channel La Sexta, he added: "I am very well now. I feel that I have recovered. The Gunners' players were due to report for training on Tuesday, after completing 14 days' isolation following Arteta's diagnosis, but their return has been postponed. As a result of the current situation, we are clear it would be inappropriate and irresponsible to ask players to come back at this time," said the north London club in a statement.
That run of results included a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup, and though the victory was secured against a reserve Spurs' XI, it still served to illustrate Gillingham's nose for the big occasion.
Barcelona consider Willian Jose Barcelona are interested in the Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose, according to Marca. The Spanish newspaper reports that the 28-year-old forward is one of a number of players under consideration by the current champions as they work through the possibility of an emergenc striker.
Christmas in CopenhagenIt's 6 December, 2015 and Leicester are two points clear at the top of the Premier League after winning 3-0 at Swansea. The team have stayed in Wales overnight and are heading to Copenhagen for their Christmas party. Danish native and event organiser Schmeichel is excitedly waiting at the airport for his teammates to arrive in their fancy dress costumes. Leicester City players in fancy dress at the Christmas party in 2015Schmeichel: "I was one of the first to arrive at the airport so I saw everyone coming down the stairs in their fancy dress costumes.
Much like with Liverpool, Tottenham don’t necessarily deserve any special credit for doing this, doing the right thing only after being harangued for doing the wrong thing, but at least they have listened. Which goes to show that clubs do listen sometimes, so when they’ve done something wrong, shout at them.

Either side of the keeper and that's a goal. Another big chance wasted. GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Palace (Ayew). Palace lead and it's a sucker punch for Brighton.

Apart from (Xherdan) Shaqiri, (Nathaniel) Clyne and (Paul) Glatzel, all the players are in training. We have some good options, hopefully it stays like this, it would be great for the decisive part of the season. Klopp also said that they had not made any decision on whether forward Mohamed Salah would compete for Egypt at the Olympics as one of their senior players.
In short this has been, as the fans used to sing in happier times, "Same old Arsenal" - but not in a good way. Arsenal had firepower in the shape of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but even their threat could not compensate for Emery's failure to stiffen Arsenal's resolve. Quite simply, Arsenal remained just as soft as they were under Wenger. In the 2-2 draw at Watford earlier this season, the Hornets attempted 31 shots on target, the highest the Gunners have faced since Opta starting compiling such statistics in 2003-04.
On top of that, Kilmarnock's away form has been notably poor this season. Kilmarnock have won just two of their nine Scottish Premiership away games this season, losing six. No Scottish Premiership team have scored fewer away goals than Kilmarnock. They have scored just six in nine Scottish Premiership away games.
In this match and in the history of their H2H matches, I expect the Galatasaray team to remain undefeated, the odds offered to draw are more than good and there is a great chance that Galatas will not lose this match in the end. Alanyaspor is very good this season and has 2 points more in the Championship than the away team. I think at least galatasaray will get a draw here knowing is a 2 game qualify I believe the away side can get a positive result on the road. So my bet is on the draw. This match can end in 1-1 or 2-2.
Six years ago, wing-back Baldock was playing in the fifth tier for Tamworth while Basham also appeared at that level for Stafford Rangers when he was starting his career at Bolton. There are very few players, if any, in the team that have spent all their lives in the Premier League," said former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson, who was at Bramall Lane on Sunday for BBC Radio 5 Live. There are no egos in that dressing room.
Great save from Pickford. He first pushed away an effort from Fernandes that he should have stopped but then moved across his line to stop the rebound from Ighalo with his feet. GOAL! Own goal from Maguire. They'll check in on VAR. Sigurdsson was offside behind Maguire but it did not hit him. Disallowed.
