United have five wins and four losses in their last 10 matches while they have kept seven clean sheets in their last 15 matches. They have failed to score in four of their last 10 matches and will be hoping to do better in this fourth meeting between the two sides this season. United have conceded two or more goals in four of their last 10 matches and at home, they have lost two of the last five matches.
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.
Hi! It is said that Smolov calls on the Miranchuk brothers to move to the Spanish championship. It would be nice to see three Russian players in one club, but Fedor’s rent will expire at the end of this season and what will happen next is unknown. However, Fedos already managed to notice the difference between Example and the RPL, calling La Liga space. But after the goal, “Real”, the Russian did not show any stars, but we expect this from him in every match. Contrary to statistics, I believe that we will have an exciting and successful attacking football.
Four top-flight clubs - Newcastle, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Norwich - have placed some non-playing staff on furlough leave under the government's coronavirus job retention scheme, increasing the pressure on players to take a pay cut. On Monday, Premier League leaders Liverpool reversed the decision to furlough some staff after criticism from fans and former players. It is not for me to tell clubs how to run their businesses.

Sydney have only got one blemish on their record so far this season, their controversial 1-0 loss to bitter rivals Western Sydney Wanderers in round 3. Other than that, the current Champions have looked in fantastic form, not feeling the effects of Graham Arnold leaving to take control of the Australian National team. They’ve yet to keep a clean sheet though and do look beatable, with the psychological side of things being a factor as sides come up against a team that has led the way for the past few years. Sydney have fared well against their rivals from the West in recent years, losing just once in 12 games, the best head to head record between two sides in the league.

But of course it was a chastening evening for the children of Liverpool, the score 4-0 at half-time and frankly they should be pleased they kept it to 5-0 by full-time. The goals came from Conor Hourihane, an own-goal by Morgan Boyes, two from Jonathan Kodja and one by Wesley Moares. Villa celebrated each and every one, and so they should as well: it’s not their fault that things have conspired to lead everyone to this point, and they’re a newly-promoted team who has just qualified for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
The hosts have made Griffin Park a tough place to go of late, with some fine form at this ground putting the hosts on their way to the playoffs. Brentford are third in the second tier and they are emerging as the main challengers to the top two. While the Bees are likely to fall a little short of cutting the nine-point gap to second, their strong home record should push them close.

Messi's criticism of Abidal came on the same day Barca learned that winger Ousmane Dembele had ruptured his hamstring and would miss the rest of the season, adding to their shortages in attack while Luis Suarez recovers from knee surgery. Setien said that he was more concerned about Dembele's injury than Messi's musings on social media, adding that the club's all-time goalscorer was in good spirits and did not need to be reminded about his responsibilities.
Danny Ings' ability to score goals has never been in doubt. It was just a case of whether his knees would let him. This season has been a testament to that so far. Fully fit, the 27-year-old has netted 14 times in 22 Premier League appearances for Southampton, a tally second only to Jamie Vardy in England's top-flight and a stark reminder of why Liverpool were so keen to recruit him from Burnley in 2015.
Everyone knows how I feel about the club that I supported as a boy, I feel a special bond with the supporters and know that myself, the owners and the players are all working together to achieve the same goal.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says football is letting its elite players down and a "year of 400 days" is needed to cram in all the matches they are being asked to play. Guardiola was one of several top-flight bosses to express their concern about the demanding festive schedule. England forwards Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford have since suffered injuries. Guardiola said: "I am so sorry for Kane and Rashford because they are good for the league but I am not surprised.
Odds have gone up even more than 1.70 for the home win and I am kind of used to see odds go up and down on Isloch as they sometimes play games at this reserve level with no substitutes on the bench but even so under such circumstances they did get the win in the end and they do have some weird games as well like being dominated for 60 minutes at home by Rukh Brest 2 and being 1-0 behind but winning with no less than 4-1 in the end.

I am a bit worried we have got Stoke, who are second-bottom, next though. It is a Sheffield Wednesday thing that we always seem to raise our game against equivalent or better teams - but then drop points against the lesser sides. Wednesday's best league finish since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2000 was the fourth place they managed in the Championship in 2017. They are currently third, eight points off the automatic promotion placesWhile Wednesday are bidding to return to the Premier League, their neighbours and rivals Sheffield United have turned into the season's surprise package following their promotion, and sit fifth in the table.

Heavy defeats by Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich were meted out, while Rangers' reintroduction to Europe didn't as much go with a bang but a nuclear explosion. In the picturesque city of Luxembourg, they suffered what some claimed was the worst European defeat by any Scottish club - and that's some tag. Progres Niederkorn knocked Rangers out of Europe and left manager Pedro Caixinha in a hedge remonstrating with furious punters post match.
