The visitors come into this clash in storming form, which has carried them into contention for the top three in Ligue 1. The visitors have won six of their last seven matches in the league, a brilliant record which has pushed them just a point shy of the Champions League places. With their Europa League fate sealed they can focus on domestic affairs, including this competition.
That was only one of a series of brilliant saves by the Celtic goalkeeper, who spectacularly denied Ryan Jack before the break as well as Morelos on three occasions. The Rangers striker wasted a number of other opportunities including one in stoppage time as, despite finding the net 25 times this season, he remains without a goal against Celtic. Neil Lennon's side demonstrated impressive resilience as they further burnish their dominance of Scottish football and are now 31 domestic cup matches unbeaten.

The display was a far cry from Villa's last outing when they suffered a dismal 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Southampton. The performance level today is the standard we have to be," Smith said. We were written off after our performance against Southampton, and needed a reaction and I think we got that.
Julien Stéphan's Rennes side were on quite the run as they closed out 2019 and these good vibes will be what they'll be aiming to take into the new decade. The young manager has had his critics throughout his tenure as coach but there were very few doubters of the Frenchman as his team ended the year with six wins in their last seven games.
Furthermore one of the joys of Vardy the player is how much he brings to the team aside from his goals with his relentless pressing and space he therefore creates for his team-mates. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy of Leicester CityGetty Images Some of those team-mates, such as Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante, have moved on to bigger things, but Vardy has stayed loyal to Leicester, doing his very best to drag them back into the Champions League.
Football's biggest carbon emitters Air travel by the top 20 footballers nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or was responsible for producing 505 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year alone, according to a climate change researcher. Andrew Welfle, from the University of Manchester, said governing bodies and teams must combat climate change by curbing air travel and finding alternative methods for their frequent flier players to reduce CO2 emissions.
As players warmed up and those of us on the margins looked on, Villa at least tried to inject some atmosphere with a heavy metal soundtrack over the public address system before the players filed out separately. It was somewhat incongruous as Villa's announcer revved up the team announcements, brashly welcoming back John McGinn after his long injury absence, the stadium itself festooned with flags, banners (one from as far away as Prague) and coverings to at least add a dash of colour to an anaesthetised occasion.
Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi are set to feature for Barcelona as the La Liga leaders return to action at Mallorca.

Jesus, though, was presented with a difficult chance early in the second half, but finished with aplomb, right on cue for City. Seven minutes later and Jesus had again found the net, stepping up when his team needed him most. His ability to find the target, despite being in and out of the team is notable.

Sky Sports reported on Friday that France's World Cup winner Giroud, whose Chelsea contract expires at the end of the season, has agreed a 2-1/2 year deal to join the Italian club. Lampard, whose side are fourth in the Premier League, said Giroud's departure is not necessarily linked to Chelsea signing a replacement and the player would only leave if the deal suits all parties involved.

Nice won the last meeting at home early in the year 1-0.
Sheffield United have boosted their European qualification hopes with a run of seven points from three games. Their home form is good with only Manchester City getting a recent win in Sheffield. Chelsea are in great form though with seven wins from their last league and cup games. They score plenty of goals but keeping clean sheets isn't their strong point, especially away from home. Bet on both teams scoring.
RKC have only picked up one win from their six home games this season, losing the other five, but they go up against an Emmen side this weekend that have lost all of their six away games in the Eredivisie.

Villarreal have managed to score in every away game this term despite their poor record, so we do envisage El Submarino Amarillo continuing that trend here. Valencia have kept just two clean sheets in their seven home league matches. Los Che have averaged just under two goals per fixture in their own backyard, so a 2-1 scoreline looks the way to go for this Saturday's derby encounter.

In the Premier League, that run extends back to 2017 across 50 matches. If they avoid defeat against Sheffield United on January 2 they will have gone a full year unbeaten in the league both home and away. They have won 27 of their last 28 Premier League games and dropped only two points so far this season.
The three subsequent announcements over the tannoy cast a shadow over the final stages of the game - but there was no disguising Lampard's delight as he punched the air and threw his coat into Chelsea's celebrating supporters after the final whistle. This was a victory with an edge - and it is not difficult to guess why. There remains huge respect between Lampard and Mourinho after the successes they shared at Chelsea, including two Premier League titles.
Wolves, who have proven their ability to mix with the best teams in the league, will fancy their chances of making it into the top four with late-season clashes with Arsenal and Chelsea to come, while Sheffield United are still in the mix after an extraordinary return to the top flight. Quite simply, there is a complete lack of quality among many of the Premier League's biggest clubs.
Fulham have managed just one win in their last eight league games against Hull (D2 L5), which points to more joy for the home side. On top of that, it’s been a tough spell for the hosts’ playoff hopes, as Fulham are without a win in three away league games (D1 L2), since a 2-1 win at Swansea in November.
Schalke keeper Alex Nuebel completely misjudged a Marcel Sabitzer shot for the visitors' lead after only 50 seconds. Leipzig had to wait almost an hour to strike again with their top scorer Timo Werner, who netted the winner in midweek against Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League, grabbing his 21st league goal with a slightly deflected shot.
The final is set for Istanbul on 29 August. Europa League games would be played a day before each two-day block of Champions League matches. The final is planned for Gdansk, in Poland, on 27 August. It is understood UEFA will stick to the venues if they can, even though the games themselves will almost certainly be behind closed doors. But entry to Turkey and Poland is currently blocked. Uefa are aware there are no guarantees these restrictions will be lifted, meaning alternative venues might have to be found.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on the visitors will payout this Saturday and we have predicted a final score of 2-1. The hosts are in poor form and have struggled for the most part this season, and are still to win at home in the Primeira Liga. Famalicao, on the other hand, have adapted excellently to life in the top flight and are currently the nearest challengers to Benfica and Porto for the league title thanks to them losing just once in the league this season, so confidence is high within the visitors camp.
If the decision is made that we will not play the season out then I think it's quite clear that the season should be voided, rather than deciding on what is a mid-season change of rules and a fairly arbitrary decision as regards how we deal with promotion and relegation," he told the club website. In order to find an acceptable compromise, it has to be just: a compromise that is fair. Our suggested solution follows on from what League Two voted in favour of last week and while that's not a binding vote, it's indicative of where their intentions were and that is promotions, without relegation.
Scottish football was suspended in March with no date set for a return. Clubs have announced varying measures to combat the lack of income caused by no football, including wage deferrals and cuts, fresh investment and use of the government's job retention scheme. Dave King stepped down as the chairman of Rangers in March, stating that plans for fresh investment had been put on hold. But Rangers later said a funding plan, agreed at the club's AGM, was well advanced.
The midlands club have brought in Ryan Bennett, who should be a useful backup for Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu while captain Wes Morgan is out injured. Ins: Ryan Bennett (Wolves, loan) Outs: Raul Uche (Real Valladolid, undisclosed), George Thomas (ADO Den Haag, loan), Andy King (Huddersfield, loan), Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Blackpool, loan), Lukas Husek (Sparta Prague, undisclosed), Admiral Muskwe (Swindon, loan), Mitchell Clark (Port Vale, loan), Filip Benkovic (Bristol City, loan) Net spend: £0 RATING: B - - - - - LIVERPOOL A very solid window for Liverpool with Takumi Minamino's release clause too good a deal to turn down, while the likes of Rhian Brewster and Nathaniel Phillips should get valuable game-time.
They have already played 27 matches in all competitions and will have played 31 before the new year. The games Liverpool could play this season - without any FA Cup replays'Our squad is not getting bigger'Klopp was dealt a blow on Saturday, despite his side battling to victory over bottom-of-the-table Watford, when midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum was forced off with a muscle injury after an hour. On Friday, centre-back Dejan Lovren was also ruled out through injury, with Klopp stating the club "don't have a timeframe" on when he will return.
The visitors have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 75% of their matches so far this season. That includes each of their last 11 matches. With Lecce conceding two goals per game on average this season we expect a high scoring clash, soover 2.5 goals is our tip for this one.
