The very top teams still manage to win games when that is happening every week but it looks like Leicester need to learn how to do it. West Ham will not make it easy for them but I don't think they have enough of a presence up front, and the Hammers need some reinforcements for the relegation battle that lies in front of them. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Steve's prediction: 3-0 Tottenham v NorwichTottenham have now gone four league games without a win, and three without a goal - so it is fair to say their manager Jose Mourinho needs both to arrive on Wednesday.
Borussia Monchengladbach is still trying hard to compete at the top of the German Bundesliga 2019/2020. However, this team became short of breath in the second leg, and they only won 1 victory in the last 4 rounds. It was that poor series that made them currently down to 4th place, 4 points behind Bayern Munich with 4 points and they had 1 match left. However, the opportunity for Borussia Monchengladbach to regain their spirits came in the next round, as they marched to Fortuna Dusseldorf's yard. Fortuna Dusseldorf is facing a lot of difficulties when only 17 points after 21 rounds, 4 points behind the safety group. In the last 4 rounds, they only knew how to draw and lose.
Chelsea's Olivier Giroud has scored seven Premier League goals against Liverpool; only versus Aston Villa and Newcastle (both eight) has he netted more in the competition. Christian Pulisic has scored nine Premier League goals for Chelsea this season; among American players, only Clint Dempsey (17 in 2011-12 and 12 in 2010-11) has ever scored more in a campaign - his goal was the 1,000th scored in this season's Premier League.
Leading into the suspension of the season, their defence was in top form with six clean sheets in seven games. Only one of 12 home league games has been lost with just one defeat in 19. Only the top two have conceded less home goals in the Bundesliga. Six of their last eight home league fixtures have been won and their only home loss was to Schalke in September.
I would have no problem if Sigurdsson, Schneiderlin, Theo Walcott and Delph found new clubs and that's just for starters. Leicester CityChris Forryan - Leicestertillidie. Had Jamie Vardy's injury happened at the start of the season, I would have said we needed to strengthen up front. That's not such an urgent issue now, though, with Kelechi Iheanacho showing improved form and Ayoze Perez potentially someone we could utilise in the lone forward role.
Last night's win over West Ham moved them an extra three points closer to the title and it puts them into a good mindset going into their next game. I don't see what can stop Liverpool winning every game at this given moment. Video - Liverpool circle as Werner’s small release clause leaked – Euro Papers01:13 I don't think this will start a new Liverpool dynasty.
Peterborough’s league games away from home average 3.2 goals per game with 3 of the last five featuring over 2.5 goals. Burnley have lost four of their last five matches at home.

City stumbled to a 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk in the same competition, with no sign of the zip and verve that has characterised Pep Guardiola's team over the past two title-winning seasons. Both looked like sides who could do with a rest, a nice week in a warm-weather resort recharging their batteries, but the price of competing at the highest level -- at home and abroad -- is a gruelling December that offers no respite and plenty of potential bumps in the road.
Paul Pogba of Manchester United reacts during the Premier League match between Manchester United and Arsenal FC at Old Trafford on September 30, 2019 in Manchester, United Kingdom. Getty Images Manchester Chapter: The troublesome problem solver When Pogba returned to Manchester he was supposed to be the one who solved everything, the one who would help take Manchester United back to the very top of world football.
It is hard to disagree. The reason behind the delay is conjecture - Rooney has his theory as articulated below. Perhaps he is correct that financial considerations were at play, perhaps not. The Premier League certainly could point to the current government advice, which, unlike many of our European counterparts, remains yet to have banned large gatherings.
However, Barca’s appointment of Luis Enrique that summer would help to swing the pendulum back once again, and in November Messi laid down a sign of things to come when breaking the all-time goalscoring record in La Liga with his 252nd goal. Goals in the calendar year: Ronaldo 61, Messi 58 2015 – Messi (Ronaldo second, Neymar third) FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi of Argentina (R) shakes hand with FIFA's acting President Issa Hayatou (L)Reuters The year started with speculation that Messi would leave Barcelona at the end of the season; it finished with a second treble and a fifth Ballon d’Or.
Little more than a year after signing, he became the second-youngest player to appear in a Premier League game for the Gunners. Gnabry featured 18 times in all competitions for Arsene Wenger's side during his first two seasons as a professional. But when the minutes dried up, he was sent on loan to West Brom for the 2015-16 Premier League campaign. But he played just three times for Albion - whose manager at the time, Tony Pulis, delivered a telling assessment.
Great fun. HAT TIP "The quintessential Toni Kroos moment arrives before he does. He sends a text, apologising that he’ll be 11 minutes late. It’s all there, in that one line: the typically German concern with punctuality and good manners, the precision. ETA in 11 minutes. Not ten, not 15. Above all, the unhurriedness.
However, in Serie A he really has to think about what he is doing and I think that will make him a better player. Misused and misunderstood at Manchester United?Looking at the statistics, it is hard to argue that Lukaku is anything other than one of the best strikers in world football. In Europe's top five leagues, only Robert Lewandowski (19), Ciro Immobile (19), Timo Werner (18) and Jamie Vardy (17) have scored more goals than Lukaku who, with 14 goals, looks well on course to surpass his best-ever return of 25 goals in a single league campaign.
Relegated Norwich have completed the signing of midfielder Jacob Sorensen from Danish top-flight side Esbjerg. The 22-year-old Dane, who can also play as a centre-back, has agreed a three-year contract with the Canaries. Sorensen will officially become a Norwich player when the transfer window opens next Monday, with the move subject to international clearance. We're really happy. There was a lot of interest and many clubs were after him," Norwich boss Daniel Farke said.
But, in truth, neither side really deserved to take all three points. Newcastle won't complain - they are now eight games unbeaten at home and are now only four points off the top four. Crystal Palace drop to 12th, two points adrift of their opponents. TALKING POINT Almiron finally breaks his duck: Hopes had been high on Tyneside when Almiron signed for Newcastle back in January for a then-record £21 million.
Caretaker manager Ferguson, who finished with five points from three league games against Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, said: "He gave a fantastic speech. It was wonderful how he spoke to the players. In some ways, this was a difficult occasion for Ancelotti to make a serious early assessment of the squad at his disposal. Everton looked leg-weary after three games in six days and even this line-up was disrupted by an early injury to former Arsenal midfield man Alex Iwobi.

West Ham United might have been spending the past few months dreading a final home game against Aston Villa who start this game in 17th.

I know the ability, I know the player we have there. Arteta also suggested he was happy to consider picking his team formations to bring out the best in Ozil.
We have been inconsistent. We can't dance around the truth, we need to be better but that is something I am confident we can do. We need to get that focus back in our game. An expected late onslaught never really came as Leicester failed to force Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul into a save in the final 20 minutes despite plenty of pressure. They retain a nine-point cushion over fifth-placed Manchester United but need a win soon to get their Champions League hopes back on track.

Donato was a person who you couldn't not love. British Cycling furloughs 90 roles British Cycling CEO Julie Harrington has confirmed 90 roles - around a third of the workforce – will be furloughed, with the governing body "planning for a significant drop in income of around £4million". Harrington also confirms members of the leadership team, including herself, will take a 10% pay cut.
We have seen some of the biggest clubs in the world such as Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus take steps to reduce their costs.

The striker has contributed to 34% of Leicester's Premier League goals this season and Rodgers added he hoped it would "ease off over the next couple of days".

He told reporters: "You know him [Jose Mourinho] better than me. He was many years here in different clubs. An incredible manager and I’m pretty sure he’ll do a good job. I was a little surprised with Mauricio [Pochettino] because he had done an incredible job and the club was doing better. Always the managers when they leave it is to know if the club and team are better than when they take over and I think it happened.

Yet Hourihane scores vital goals for club and country, and adds a crucial element of aggression too. His first goal for Ireland - a fabulous free kick - took the pressure off Mick McCarthy in March 2019 as they pushed for Euro 2020 qualification. He’s scored more than one tremendous set piece for Aston Villa, too, and netted ten times in their Championship promotion season last year.
Their total of 26 points is their second-highest from 19 games in the Premier League and they are only three points behind fifth-placed Tottenham and six behind fourth-placed Chelsea. Veteran boss Roy Hodgson praised the resilience of his players who were already missing several injured team mates and lost defender Patrick van Aanholt midway through the second half.
The ball balloons up into the air and from 25 yards out Kovacic drills a low volley into the bottom corner. This game is very much still on! 59’ BIG CHANCE! Could that have been the game? Walcott escapes from Kante down the right and bursts into the area unchallenged. He has a chance to square it to Richarlison but shoots instead, and Kepa gets a strong hand on the ball to parry it clear.
I'm sure they [the fans] will want to go again," Ferguson said. Three consecutive defeats had seen the club slip into the relegation zone under Silva. But former Everton forward Ferguson has gained four Premier League points since taking temporary charge of the club - with Sunday's 1-1 draw at Manchester United also illustrative of the galvanising effect he has had. And Ferguson is hoping their resurgent form and a raucous atmosphere at a sold-out Goodison can propel the club to only their third EFL Cup semi-final in 32 years.
It's also worth saying that this isn't the first time we've heard of something like this. Back in 2015, a certain, Mancunian, young Ronaldo (named after the Brazilian legend) signed for Oldham Athletic youth team. And Leeds United fans may be familiar with Romario and Ronaldo Vieira - two West African brothers with names of Brazilian legends who have played for the Yorkshire club. There's also a young lad called Rodrigo Riquelme, playing at the moment for Atletico Madrid B-team.

That set the tone for what was to follow, with the visitors wasting several good chances to extend their lead before Alexandre Lacazette turned in a close-range equaliser. The goal did little to kick-start Arsenal though, who fell behind for a second time when James Ward-Prowse scored on the rebound after seeing his second-half penalty saved by home goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Not even Lacazette's second goal of the day, which came late in stoppage time, could raise spirits at the Emirates, with the forward appearing embarrassed to celebrate.
According to the Telegraph, the bid has been "complicated" as the FIFA officials are ready to "shake up football’s competition structures" in order to grow the game on a global scale. The 2030 World Cup tournament would be the 100-year anniversary of the first-ever World Cup, which was hosted (and won) by Uruguay.
Millwall sent out a big message with their weekend victory. Not only were they returning to form after picking up a point from their previous two matches, but the Lions were able to see off third-placed Brentford. That big result left the club only two-points shy of the playoffs, which is part of a brilliant turnaround under Gary Rowett.
Chelsea refuse to submit to PSG's Cavani demands Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani is the target of Premier League club Chelsea, who are looking to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window.

The Premier League visitors just about deserved the win over their League One hosts, but needed a 34-year-old substitute to get them the breakthrough. Zabaleta, on in place of the injured Ryan Fredericks, was left in acres of space on the edge of the box and sent his low shot pinballing-in off the onrushing Gillingham defender and goalkeeper to secure his side the win.
