Southampton v Crystal Palace *Palace are looking for only their fourth Premier League win over Southampton in their 21st meeting (D5 L12). The Saints have lost six out of their nine games at home this season. Palace have kept only two clean sheets in nine away games this season. Watford v Aston Villa *Only one of the six Premier League meetings between Watford and Villa has ended in a draw, 0-0 at Vicarage Road in 2006.
The Turkish side have only scored three goals in the competition this season, two of them in the reverse of this fixture and have looked outclassed every time they’ve taken to the pitch. Expectations are low for them in this match and a win looks really unlikely.
The government does have a responsibility. They should be looking into it. Football is the sport and there is a national interest in this," he told BBC Sport. Where you have a conflict over the potential undermining of commercial contracts by organisations seeking to buy a club then that's much closer to home. Betts says he is worried that broadcast rights-holders like Qatar-based beIN Sport - which has urged the Premier League to "interrogate" the takeover - may reconsider their partnerships if the piracy continues.

<strong>Levante vs Mallorca prediction</strong> comes ahead of the Spanish La Liga 14th-round clash between the two. This game will be played on November 22nd, at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia in Valencia, Spain. In this match preview, I will try to provide the best betting tips and correct score predictions based on my analysis of these two teams. These two teams have a lot of history, so a fun match is coming with Levante being a major favorite.
These two teams have played a lot of La Liga games throughout their respective histories with Levante winning four times in the last 6 game. Mallorca had a poor start of the season. They are currently 16th with 14 points from 13 games. On the other side, Levante has 17 points from 13 games they played with neutral 16:16 goal difference. They are currently 12th in the league with and are hoping to earn some points here. My opinion is that we will be seeing an attacking brand of football by them in this match. Both teams are looking to secure as good as possible results hoping to achieve their season goals.
Spurs boss Jose Mourinho has been on the winning side in only two of 10 games against Liverpool's Juergen Klopp. Sunday, Jan. Bournemouth v Watford (1400) *Watford's only win over Bournemouth in nine Premier League meetings was at the Vitality Stadium. It will be Watford's 500th top-flight game, the 43rd team to reach the milestone and the first since Crystal Palace in October 2004.
However, the Brazilian has improved his stock in the transfer market with his stint in Munich, scoring eight goals and claiming six assists. What is clear is that Barcelona want to bring in cash quickly and Coutinho is the most likely player to make way this summer if they can find a suitable buyer at a reasonable price.
MAN OF THE MATCH Alexandre Lacazatte. While his team-mates were made to look distinctly ordinary by a talented Leeds side, Lacazette kept plugging away, even if he was well marshalled by Ben White. All that was good about Arsenal’s play in the second half came through the Frenchman, who played a key role in the winner.

Xavi, Barca's all-time leading appearance maker who lifted 25 trophies in a 17-year career with the club, has been linked with a return to the Catalans since they were beaten 3-2 by Atletico Madrid to exit the Spanish Super Cup on Thursday. That loss, which came after a surprise 2-2 league draw at struggling Espanyol, has heaped pressure on coach Ernesto Valverde even though his side lead La Liga and are into the last 16 of the Champions League.
Last season Strasbourg were one of the best teams in the country as they stunned doubters with a rather weak squad to win the Coupe de la Ligue and while they have started slow this season, they're still a great team and their recent results have showcased that. The Alsatians' home form is incredible and with them hosting a Lyon side underperforming and overworked, we're backing the hosts to get the win here.
The match was one of only five played in Serie A this weekend -- and two on Sunday -- due to the coronavirus outbreak. The other five matches, in the regions where the government has banned sporting events, were postponed. Atalanta fans were screened for symptoms of the disease as they entered the stadium.
Juve are hoping to put any Cristiano Ronaldo drama behind them this weekend, although the tantrums of the former Real Madrid star may be a longer-term concern. Their top scorer was always going to struggle with Sarri’s demanding system, while his return of five goals after 12 games is hardly special. If he continues to be frustrated and acts out then it could hamper their season.
He's the best player ever to play the game in my opinion. There was a moment when he knocked it by two of our midfielders in the first few minutes at the Nou Camp and he was running directly at me and I was thinking 'oh right, this guy's serious'. He's coming at me now. The stuff he does with his feet is just frightening. You can't see, you need to guess at times to defend against him. Come on Kenny, we've a plane to catch…After defeat in the 2018 Champions League final, Robertson and Liverpool beat Tottenham in Madrid last year.
That late double blow left England's players inconsolable at the final whistle, while the French stayed on the pitch to celebrate.

It doesn't happen often but in Bruges in 2000 Spain edged an absolute belter of a game against Yugoslavia. Free-scoring Yugoslavia, who had already drawn 3-3 with Slovenia at the tournament, were leading 3-2 in the 90th minute when Valencia's Gaizka Mendieta - before his move to Middlesbrough - equalised in the fourth minute of injury time.
However, many decry the loss of atmosphere at grounds as well as the dangers of fans standing in seated areas.

TALKING POINT Should Harry Maguire have been sent off? The two goals that VAR ruled out for Chelsea were correct decisions, but the home side will not be happy about its failure to pick up a potential game-changing moment in the first half. Manchester United’s captain did appear to kick out at Batshuayi and definitely connected, yet Anthony Taylor was advised there should be no further action.
Clear and obvious mistakes yes, but his 'opinion' is a gift the game affords the referee only. To try and take it away from him is an outrage. The most the game should ask the referee to do is to look at the incident again to see if his 'opinion' has changed or did he miss something in real time that has now become clear and obvious in the replay. The incident involving Son Heung-min, for example, when he lashed out at Antonio Rudiger is a classic example.
I think over the two or three-year period in the academy, he grew and changed his whole mentality. He was a flair player, he had to realise that if he was going to play in this position then people were going to kick him. He stood up to the fight and his progression over the past five or six years has been superb. When he was younger he tended not to take a kick too well but he has come on leaps and bounds and is a man now.
England Under-21 midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is facing disciplinary action by Wolverhampton Wanderers after pictures emerged of him apparently breaking coronavirus lockdown rules. Footage was posted on Snapchat of Gibbs-White, 20, attending a party in central London with friends last week. Wolves say they are dealing with the matter internally. In March, Gibbs-White urged his 59,000 Instagram followers to stay at home and to "do our bit to support the NHS".

Chelsea coach Lampard, who won two of his Premier League titles in Mourinho's first reign at Stamford Bridge, conjured a game plan that allowed his side to dominate from start to finish, aided by a shoddy home performance. Willian punished some slack defending to open the scoring after 12 minutes and a labouring Tottenham barely created a decent chance in response.
Posted at 56' Foul by Scott Brown (Celtic). Posted at 56' Michael Santos (FC København) wins a free kick in the attacking half. West Ham have gone six Premier League games without a win, so the last thing they need is a trip to Anfield on Monday to face runaway leaders Liverpool. Hammers boss David Moyes will try to make it as difficult as possible for Liverpool," said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson said.
He told his club website that "we are in touch not only with Celtic". There is an interest from other big clubs from France, Spain, Italy, Portugal or Belgium," Kmotrik said. There is already a huge interest and we expect that even more clubs will address offers during January. Celtic win 'puts pressure ' on rivals - LennonSporar, who joined Slovan from Basel for £1.

Veteran winger Joaquin went round Courtois and looked to be slipping the ball into an empty net but was denied by Luka Modric's goal-saving interception on the line. The Belgium international goalkeeper also made a stunning save to tip Nabil Fekir's thunderous, first-time strike over the crossbar. After taking the lead through Sidnei's superb effort, the goalscorer went from hero to villain by bringing down Marcelo inside the area and allowing Benzema to equalise.

Some make sense in hindsight, others not so much. For a league game against Malaga in December 2012, Mourinho dropped Real Madrid's legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas, who was only 31 at the time, and instead played the relatively unremarkable Antonio Adan. Adan also started the next game - but was sent off, so Casillas won his place back. A month later Casillas fractured his hand and when he had recovered he could not win his place back from new signing Diego Lopez, a keeper of a similar age who has never been considered world class.
Among the players who have played more than 10 Premier League games this season, Jesus leads the way in shots on target per 90 minutes, ahead of Aguero. He is young, we cannot forget, but the way he defends and fights is incredible,” City manager Pep Guardiola said. Of course he has to improve, he knows it.
Cologne are 14th with 23 points and have a six-point cushion over the relegation playoff spot. We just went to sleep for the first few minutes," said Cologne goalkeeper Timo Horn. Bayern's opening goal came after a throw-in led to a quick exchange of passes which freed Lewandowski to fire his shot into the roof of the net for his 23rd league goal of the season and 36th in all competitions.
They made the worst possible start, however, as Bournemouth capitalised on the Reds' early nerves to take a shock lead - albeit in controversial fashion. Wilson finished off a neat move involving Lerma and Philip Billing, but Liverpool felt the goal should have been disallowed for the striker's push on Gomez. The video assistant referee saw no infringement and the goal was given. Things could have got worse for the home side when Nathan Ake's powerful header was unconvincingly shovelled on to the top of the crossbar by stand-in goalkeeper Adrian, but Liverpool continued to create chances and deservedly restored parity through Salah's low finish - his 70th league goal for the club.
Lighting up Euro 2016 Media playback is not supported on this device Euro 2016: Gareth Bale's three goals for Wales For a long time it seemed Bale was destined to be a George Best or Ryan Giggs, an icon of British football who would never get to experience an international tournament. However, after a 58-year wait, Wales qualified for Euro 2016 thanks largely to Bale's brilliance in qualifying. Wales went from unfancied outsiders to one of the stories of the tournament, improbably reaching the semi-finals with Bale producing some electric displays along the way, including a goal against England in the group stage.
Neither of these two sides can be considered experts in the art of defending. The hosts are the opposite, as Luton have faced more shots (408) and conceded more goals (56) than any other Championship team this season. They are without a clean sheet in 14, having conceded 2.1 goals per game this term. The hosts have shipped three or more in each of their last four, so the problem isn’t getting better.
