The two sides are separated by 13 points; Norwich at the bottom with 21 and Southampton 14th with 34 points. This game means everything to Norwich, who are six points out of the safety zone and battling to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, they know they have to win. As for Southampton, safety is almost assured, after recovering from a poor start in the season.
Clotet, 42, was assistant to Garry Monk, who was dismissed in June after 15 months at the club. The Spaniard, who previously managed Oxford United, has guided Birmingham to 15th place in English soccer's second tier after 19 games this season. Pep has shown his coaching expertise, man-management and leadership skills, allied to exemplary professional conduct, that can help take the club forward," the club said in a statement.
Arsenal is having a poor season but the team played at a good level against Chelsea in the previous round and was very close from securing the win. On this match they will face Manchester United, a team that improved lately with some good results but the Red Devils have not been at their best as well, which means that Arsenal has good chances to get the win and at home, the value is clearly on their price. For that reason, we will take Arsenal to get the three points as the best bet to take on this match against Man Utd.
We want him back scoring goals and making assists. There's no one who runs as much, he's great trigger for us in the pressing, he's a lively, bubbly character. Lingard recently said in an interview with the Daily Mail that he feared for his United future after posting a bizarre video on social media with team mate Marcus Rashford in the close season.
Paris have scored at least four goals in nine of their last 18 Coupe de France matches and despite the obvious excitement from Linas-Montlhéry, we're backing a rather one-sided win for the away team here. They have been in incredible form and will want to start 2020 with a confident win. Linas-Montlhéry aren't even a good defensive side in their own division so with the best team in France getting ready to attack their backline, we're backing a 4-0 victory for PSG.We’re also going toback the under 4.5 team goals market for Paris though as theyhaven’t scored more than four in any of their last elevenCoupe de France matches and with Linas-Montlhéry currently atoptheir league, we don’t see ithappening here.
Sassuolo have lost three of their five away trips this season, while last weekend brought a 2-1 defeat at home to Lazio. The Neroverdi have had major issues against stronger sides this season, with 10 of their 13 points coming against bottom-six sides. Against teams from 11th and above, Sassuolo have lost seven of eight matches. On top of that, Sassuolo have lost their last seven Serie A games against sides topping the table at the start of a matchday, conceding 17 goals.
Tottenham managed to put together 3 wins in a row at this moment and last round they needed a goal in the last minute of added time away from home at a sturdy Aston Villa side where they won the game with 3-2 in the end thanks to a late goal from Son, and although I see the South Korean is set as injured for this game here, Leipzig has an important central defender the French one missing for them in this one and his by physical ability and speed will be dearly missed by them.
The home team have been winning a lot of matches here and have been one of the harder teams to score against when they play at home. On top of this if you do score against them normally you cannot beat them as they have scored 3 goals or even more in a lot of matches at home. The away team have struggled here the past couple of times losing by big scores as they have been unable to stop the home team scoring over and over again when playing at this ground. Looks like another easy home win for the PSG
Lamia will host Trikala for the Cup. No doubt, the hosts are favorites in this game. Lamia is the one of the teams of Super League. I believe, they have the potential to get the victory in this game. However, in 1st match Lamia is won 1-0 against Trikala. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. In any case, they will try to remain unbeaten. Also, we have Trikala who's is modest team. Nevertheless, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. They want to win. True, this will be a very difficult task. Maybe this is draw..
The Scot's modernising methods on diet, approach, and even the renovating of the dilapidated Melwood training HQ - Liverpool's players still changed at Anfield and took a short coach trip to the old base three miles away - did not cut through with many in a squad who used to be his team-mates. Souness had so many ideas that made good sense. He erred by trying to implement them too quickly. He gave young players such as Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Jamie Redknapp their chance.

Hosts finished just 4th from bottom last season in the 4th league level in Sweden but that is mainly thanks to an attack which scored more goals than 2nd placed Motala who fought for promotion in the league last season a total of 46 goals scored by them last season in the league alone, this while defensively they really have not been all that great as their final league position shows with no less than 40 goals conceded so 86 goals scored in their 26 games in the league last season about 3.5 goals per game played.
Hello ! Championship. Fulham is a clear favorite in this match, the team is much higher in class, the main players are in excellent playing and physical shape, playing in the home arena with the support of their fans, and in this situation the home team is simply obliged to break the guest team. In case of victory over Barnsley, “summer residents” may become the closest pursuer of West Bromwich Albion. We believe that the Londoners will take revenge on the Barnsley for the defeat on the road. For the upcoming match, we suggest considering the following options. Good luck everyone!

Would have wanted to take the over 3.5 goals bet in this one for odds around 4.00 and I say this because the two games between them last season here in the second league level in Colombia last season ended with both teams scoring 2+ goals in each of those games and also both sides won their home games won against the other with the latest game between them being here at Fortaleza who defeated on that occasion with 4-2 at home Cortulua.

Motherwell should have no problem defeating a very weak Hearts team that's in dire need of a manager. We're going to back the Steelmen to win to nil, as the hosts' goalscoring form should be more than enough to see them over the line, especially as the Jambos have failed to score in any of their last five away days and have lost their previous three. We're also going for a final score of 3-0 to the hosts, given that they’ve scored an average of 2.66 goals in their last trio of games and that Hearts have conceded an average of 3 times.

Seoul had a really good season last term and they are the only club from South Korea who in the Champions League in Asia won both games played by them so far, they were games in February this year. Very attacking minded side but really not that solid in defense, they got to play in the cup here at Gangwon last season and lost the game with 3-2. They played in the league late in the season here as well and once more lost the game with 3-2, so not only did they lose those two games but they also conceded 6 goals total but not that bad scoring 4 goals scored as well.

Hi! Zenit and Lyon are here before the 5th round of the Champions League group stage match up.

LONDON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admitted that his old club Chelsea were superior as his side's revival came to a shuddering halt in a dispiriting 2-0 Premier League derby defeat on Sunday.

And they killed the game off in a dramatic conclusion, with Adam Reach leading a counter-attack to set-up Sam Winnall's close-range finish, before Wells rounded Cameron Dawson to slide in a second stoppage-time goal.

Barca, meanwhile, need to fill holes all over the pitch, with Jordi Alba, Sergi Roberto, Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez all injured and Gerard Pique facing a battle to be fit. Despite having the most expensive wage bill in world sport, coach Quique Setien was forced to fill his bench against Napoli with three reserve team players, and dressing room heavyweights are not hiding their anger at the club's hierarchy.
The performances of both teams provide further reasons to back a final scoreline of 3-1 in favour of the visitors, as Oxford have scored three or more goals in six of their last eleven league games and Southend have conceded three or more goals in seven of their last eleven games in League One.
