Averaging just 1.16 goals per game this season, Sheffield United have lacked the quality in forward areas to hit high scores this term, though they can still capitalise on Villa's lacklustre away form this weekend.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said that the position regarding the top flight "remains particularly complicated". Leaders Celtic are 13 points ahead of Rangers at the top having played a game more, while Hearts are four adrift at the bottom, with most teams having eight games still to play. Everyone is aware of Uefa's desire for the family of European football to work together to resolve the issues that confront us all," Doncaster said.
The story of Manchester United’s Treble started with a third-choice referee. Steve Bruce’s immortal winner against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993 came in the sixth minute of time added on by John Hilditch, who was only refereeing because of injuries to John Martin before the game and Mike Peck during it.

Now the availability of players and the new budget is really uncertain. Perhaps it's a good moment for our analysis to be deeper, more concrete, and then at the next step we have all the subjects (targets) and can make better decisions (on signings). If I had a player with the option to buy now, because I expected the season to be finished, and one team uses that date to sell the player for more money to another team, it wouldn't look good, to use one big problem and benefit.
Real Madrid claimed a 3-0 away win over Getafe which wasn’t as convincing as the scoreline suggests. See alsoGetafe v Real Madrid - as it happened Zinedine Zidane’s side came into the match on the back of three successive draws, but returned to winning ways, taking a single point lead at the top of the table ahead of Barcelona.

Liverpool’s bumper deal with Nike – estimated to be worth £80 million a year – is missing one thing.
The first 2 games of the season for the hosts were really not that high scoring as they first won with 2-0 away from home at the champions from Klaksvik and than won their second game with 3-0 at home against Argir but their weak opponents had some big chances to score even back then, while next 5 games have been really high scoring on their side losing twice with 4-2 first time at home with city rivals from HB Torshavn a very good game, and second losing 4-2 at Vikingur.
It has not been a very good run for Leicester City since football returned and now they are facing a real challenge to stay in the Champions League slots. Lead scorer Jamie Vardy has not scored in the last three matches and the team seems to be suffering, with the striker having taken the goal scoring burden. However, Leicester have had decent defensive displays in recent matches, and they remain the side with the second best defence in the league. Everton have not been scoring a lot either and have back to back clean sheets. They haven’t lost at home in recent matches but three of the last four have ended in draws. Looking at the two sides’ defences and the fact that they are both struggling in attack, we do not expect a plenty of goals here but their home and away records will also be key here. A low scoring draw seems likely in this game.
We are top because we work hard every game," he told BBC WM. There is still a long way to go. It's a marathon, but it's a great position to be in. If we do the same in the second half of the season, I don't see how we could not finish in the top two. It feels great [to be top of the league at Christmas] but it's a big obligation for us. Relive Saturday's EFL actionGrady Diangana was absent from Bilic's men because of injury, with the West Brom boss also revealing after the game that defender Ahmed Hegazi was left out because of an unspecified "training ground incident".

Arteta has been attempting to stabilise Arsenal's floundering season since former boss Unai Emery was sacked in December. The London side sit 10th in the standings -- 10 points behind the fourth and final Champions League spot. Although there has been an improvement in both their style of play and the cohesiveness of the side, results have been hard to come by, with Arsenal drawing their last four league games ahead of Sunday's home match against Newcastle United.
Kodjia again from close range to make it four. This is starting to get cruel. Great play from Jota to set up Elmohamady, who threaded the ball across for Kodjia to score his second of the game. SAVE! Nyland again denies Liverpool! And again it is Kane from close range, diverting the ball towards goal, only for Nyland to throw out a left arm to deny the youngster.
They have been in jail since their arrests. A judge denied them bail or refused to release into house arrest, saying they posed a flight risk. Lopez, who runs a charitable foundation where Ronaldinho was set to appear during his visit to the landlocked South American nation, is on the run and wanted by law enforcement on suspicion of being involved in organized crime and the production and use of falsified documents.
Vitebsk has certainly been much more competitive than Slavia Mozyr in this very first part of the season: they have lost the last game vs Isloch but they had collected 2 wins and a draw in the previous 3 rounds, while Slavia Mozyr comes from 3 clear losses in a row and has even conceded a sum of 7 goals in those matches. Vitebsk has conceded no goal in its 2 away games so far, so 2 goals were enough to win both matches: I think that they could win even scoring once this time too, because scoring today won't be easy at all for Slavia.
But Dortmund were not to be denied for long, as Guerreiro finished off a lightning counter-attack, slotting past Lukas Hradecky, after Kai Havertz had struck the post at the other end. The away side then took control of the match after their third goal, consolidating possession and limiting their hosts to few chances, only for the game to burst into an explosive finale. Leverkusen's Jamaican forward Bailey had the ball in the net with his first touch after coming on in the 71st minute, only for it to be called offside by the on-field officials, but he soon drew his side level, calmly stroking home in the 81st minute after Hummels' brilliant tackle fell to him in the box.
Maybe we aren't favourites this time but as we are Barcelona we always have possibilities. Barca's coach Quique Setien will be making his debut in the competition, as will his opposite number Gennaro Gattuso. It's an extra motivation," said Setien, who replaced Ernesto Valverde in January and has previously coached Logrones, Las Palmas, Lugo, Betis and the Equatorial Guinea national team.

Wolves are fifth in the Premier League after winning their past three games while Braga are ninth in the Portuguese top flight having lost once in their last 12. Rangers are on the cusp of reaching the knockout stages of the Europa League for the first time as they face Feyenoord in Rotterdam. A win for Steven Gerrard's side, coupled with either a win or draw for Young Boys against Porto, will send them into the last 32.
Hernandez struck on 57 minutes, stabbing into the top corner after his first shot had been blocked. Reading had frustrated the hosts until that point and almost snatched an equaliser late on, with Liam Moore denied by Leeds keeper Kiko Casilla. Victory for Leeds puts them five points ahead of third-placed Fulham, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw at Derby on Friday.
At the time at which she was substituted, the Dutchwoman had a direct involvement in every goal that had been scored but a further Gunners goal from Emma Mitchell and a consolation penalty from Bristol's Yana Daniels proved that it was possible to score without her – only just though. Bonner comes back to haunt the Reds Manchester City were able to keep pace with Arsenal as a Gemma Bonner goal was all that separated them in a 1-0 win over Liverpool at the Academy Stadium.
The Finnish press certainly thought so. On the plane, Nevin spotted a picture of himself on the back page of a fellow passenger's newspaper and asked him to translate the caption. Apparently, it said 'Nevin played really well, very skilful, he's a Brazilian in an Indian body' because I was darker skinned than them. But after that slight notoriety, I was back to Clyde. Not that Nevin was without offers.
Cagliari is with good chances at the top to even finish inside a Champions League place for next season as they are playing really good football and the results lately for them are really excellent they won 2-0 away at tough Atalanta won 5-2 at home with Fiorentina another great game from them and they have 4 wins and one draw in their last 5 games in the league at this moment while Lecce can be quite soft in defense conceding 4 goals at home from Napoli they also lost last round with 4-2 away at Lazio so will back Cagliari here.
Forest Green Rovers will host Northampton Town for this fixture of the league. I think, both teams have the motivation to make a positive result. Hosts have fallen into a very poor show. They have five consecutive losses in home matches. Of course, the hosts will try to break the poor series. True, this will not be an easy task. On the other hand Northampton are more ambitious team in this season. Yeah, the visitors have highly variable results. In any case, they want to stay among the top 7 teams at the top of the table. I think, Northampton wil ltry to pick up the victory.
Dortmund and Hertha Berlin will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund this season have the following results: 18W, 6D and 5L. Meanwhile Hertha Berlin have 10W, 8D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
On a disappointing night for the Scottish Premiership side, a glass bottle was thrown on to the pitch from the crowd in the final few moments before being picked by Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby. The second leg of the tie is scheduled to be played in an empty Bay Arena in the north-west of Germany next Thursday amid measures to slow the spread of coronavirus. However, with leagues suspended around the continent and the first legs of two Europa League last-16 ties already postponed, it remains to be seen if that encounter will take place as planned.

Having hammered Ceara 4-1 in the week, Flamengo aren't looking to put their feet up however and they'll come into this trip desperate to prove just why they are Brazil's strongest side. They beat Palmeiras 3-0 earlier on in the campaign and having won 26 of their 35 games overall, they'll travel to Sao Paulo supremely confident of securing victory.
Merry Christmas. Man City player the toughest choice’ Tom Adams’ XI: David de Gea (Man Utd); Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea), Vincent Kompany (Man City), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Leighton Baines (Everton); Idrissa Gueye (Aston Villa), Santi Cazorla (Arsenal), N’Golo Kante (Leicester), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Sadio Mane (Southampton), Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace) Manager: Brendan Rodgers (Swansea) I wanted to take players who were at their peak, or close to it, while playing for the teams cited.
He has definitely taken a more pragmatic approach since taking over as manager, taking a little bit of the risk out of it while still playing some really good stuff and their campaign has been just about perfect up until now. The team's experienced enough - they've had Champions League the last couple of seasons and the Europa League - so they know what it takes at this level of football to get results.
The time is now right to step away from this role and seek new challenges," Dr Chakraverty told BBC Sport. Last month, a BBC Panorama programme about Farah's former coach Alberto Salazar found Dr Chakraverty had expressed reservations about possible "side effects" from the infusion, but went ahead anyway. Football Association (FA) chairman Greg Clarke then revealed to BBC Sport that "internal conversations" were ongoing to do with Dr Chakraverty following the documentary.
Atalanta are winless in their three matches against Dinamo Zagreb in Europe (D2 L1), including losing 0-4 against the Croatian team in this season’s Champions League. We see these two adding another draw here, especially with Dinamo fresh from two very high-scoring tied matches. A 2-2 draw on Tuesday is our correct score prediction.

All things considered, although we believe Aberdeen will win the game, we see far better value in backing the Both Teams to Score line and feel it's the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned. As mentioned above, Livingston's games on the road almost always generate goals and with Aberdeen themselves having kept just 1 clean sheet in their last 7 matches, it's not hard to imagine both sides scoring, with a 2-1 margin of home victory on the cards.
Peters, like another West Ham legend of later years Sir Trevor Brooking, exerted his influence through speed of thought and natural ability as opposed to physical presence. He became known as 'The Ghost' for his ability to arrive undetected among heavy traffic in the penalty area to score. He made his debut on Good Friday 1962 in a 4-1 win against Cardiff City and his first goal came in a 6-1 win at Manchester City the following September.
Leeds went on to heap pressure on the team with the Championship's best defensive record in response, Pablo Hernandez testing Raya with a volley before an in-swinging corner from Harrison on the right beat the Spanish keeper and teed Cooper up for his first goal since October 2018. Just as Leeds had done against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Leeds dominated possession - this time controlling 64% compared to 70% against the Reds - and played with plenty of endeavour but lacked a clinical finisher.
We have to try to save them all too. But if things continue like this, then all football clubs are going to have the same sort of problems. I know people are sick of how money is everything in the Premier League but you don't want to lose any of the clubs who play in it, which is why they are trying to find a solution so they can all survive. Media playback is not supported on this device 'We've got to finish season' - Deeney Pat Nevin: Everyone wants answers right now, but you cannot give answers if you don't have all the information.
Pereira is a decent footballer - he has got really nice feet - and I look at him sometimes and think, technically, he is good enough. But he is not a goalscorer and does not pose enough of a threat when he is on the ball. He did make one brilliant chance for Martial against Liverpool, but that was by far the best thing he did in the game. He was playing against Liverpool, so of course it was never going to be easy for him, but the best players who operate in his area, like Roberto Firmino for the Reds, get the opposition guessing whenever the ball comes near them.
Prostejov is actually not that bad, they are quite solid in defense as I saw them coming close to winning away from home at Chrudim where they opened the scoring late but were drawn equal even later as it ended in a 1-1 draw. But really it is mostly a bet against Hradec Kralove who have won very few games in the league after the restart and have small chances at this point to get 3rd place, they do need the win reason why odds are so low on the away win but their performances are not convincing enough.
It added the fines contradicted provisions in Italy's collective bargaining agreement. The players of Napoli cannot be subjected to arbitrary decisions of a disenchanted club when the result of a match is unsatisfactory," FIFPRO said. Technical matters are not the responsibility of club directors and we support (coach Carlo) Ancelotti and the players of Napoli for their united stand in clearly difficult times," it said.
