Bayer Leverkusen fc is burning so far since the Bundesliga game resumed, they have two games winning streak at the moment, they beat M'gladbach fc during their last game on the road, they scored four goals and let in one goal.
Until last week's league win over Werder Bremen, Leipzig had been without a victory for the previous four games in all competitions and their dip in form had cost them the lead in the Bundesliga and a German Cup exit. But in the Champions League knockout round for the first time, Leipzig came through the first leg in London on Wednesday with flying colours.
Werder Bremen start the game one from bottom in the table and host 12th placed Eintracht Frankfurt. Bremen are in the automatic relegation places but only two points behind the play-off place. Safety is only three points away and the weekend saw them get an important victory at out-of-form Schalke 04.

Energetyk BDU is going to face Gorodeya. The hosts play very well season and after four matches they got 9 points. They failed only against actually the best team in this league Zhodino on away where they lost 0:2. The hosts are pretty strong at home where they won 3:1 against Bate Borisov and then 2:0 against Fc Minsk. The visitors won two matches in a row after two defeats at the start of this season. Gorodeya scored only one goal in two games on away. My bet here is Energetyk BDU to win this clash. It could be like 1:0.

United host Tottenham who are a point and a place above them in the table. The home side have won five of their league games but lost the other five. Their most recent game was a 1-0 home loss to Bristol City, a bit of a shocker as that was their opponent's first league victory of the season. Before that, they had won four league matches in a row scring 11 goals and will be looking to bounce back from that recent loss.
It’s his creativity that has often broken the deadlock, his wicked right boot forcing defenders to face their goal again and again. Manager of Liverpool Jurgen Klopp with Virgil van Dijk of Liverpool at the end of the Premier League match between Leicester City and Liverpool FC at King Power Stadium on December 26, 2019 in Leicester, United KingdomGetty Images Virgil van Dijk is the correct pick.
We are heartbroken. Our love goes out to his wife Amanda, their young son and family. As a professional footballer - as a Bluebird - he excelled with talent, ease, grace and humility. Nobody did it better. Whittingham, a youth product of Aston Villa and an England youth international, spent five seasons with the Premier League club before moving to Cardiff where he spent the majority of his career, helping the club reach the FA Cup final in 2008.
In this battle between the newly promoted sides, both teams have not done so well lately, but Sheffield can be proud of their position this far. They have a tighter defence than most of the teams in the league and they are in the top half. Aston Villa on the other hand, have struggled a bit, and the fact that they have only one away win says it all. They have been weak defensively and we have reason to believe, this will be the difference here. Aston Villa have conceded two or more in eight of the last 15, and have just one clean sheet in the last 13 matches. They are winless in four away matches and they face a Sheffield side that has scored in four of their last five and scored seven goals across three of their last five matches. Based on Villa’s weaknesses in defence and away from home, we will go with a win for Sheffield United here.
In October, the FIFA Council approved a proposal to limit the amounts to 10% of the transfer fee for agents of releasing clubs, 3% of the player's remuneration for player agents and 3% of the player's remuneration for agents of buying clubs. FIFA's report said that, of the more than 17,000 international transfers of male professional players this year, at least one agent was involved in 3,557 of those.
The University of East Anglia has just begun a new study and plans to use cognitive tests on former players for life. Michael Grey, who is leading the UEA research, supports a heading ban. It's not the case that everyone who heads a ball will get dementia," he said. Very young children should not be heading the ball at all.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Ridsdale, now the owner's representative at Championship side Preston North End, said: "I do think where we're at at the moment is a real opportunity to try and correct some of the problems with finance within football by seeing some of the cash from the Premier League flowing down the leagues. Your bottom team in the Premier League can get £96m, and then another £93m in parachute payments over three seasons, whereas teams in the Championship get £7m, teams in League One get £1.
Cardiff are back in action after their midweek FA Cup replay, and fans will be hoping they can repeat their latest thriller. The Bluebirds edged out Carlisle United on Wednesday, winning 4-3 in a brilliant tie. However, will that form carry into their clash at St Andrew’s this weekend?

Accrington have steadied themselves of late, that's for sure, but their lack of away goals is a problem, especially as they're going up against a side that has generally been prolific at home. Stanley have scored just three goals in their last six travelling matches, three of which they've lost, and while they have improved defensively a touch, they've still conceded nine during that time. Such numbers don't bode well ahead of a game against a Blackpool side that has scored ten in five at Bloomfield Road. Given their extra attacking quality, Grayson's men, who've won three of their last four at home, look a bet at the current prices.

Getafe have scored in 71% of their away matches and have scored 26% of their goals in the first 15 minutes, so there is a decent chance that the visitors will get off to a good start in Russia. However, Getafe’s poor record of clean sheets on the road this season suggests that they are going to need to score at least twice to win on Thursday. 67% of Trabzonspor’s matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored and that matches our prediction for Thursday’s clash.
Aston villa host a fierce hotspur in need of a win today in their quest for champions league football. Hotspur are a point behind Sheffield and the advantage hotspur have is a game that can potentially place them in fifth place a point above sheff wed. And they will be seeking redemption for the 2 consecutive losses they faced in their last five matches. Aston villa on the other hand are a whisker away from returning to the relegation zone if they get to lose this match hence they will be motivated to shock hotspurs. Two goals to be expected
But his side put in one of their best performances of the past couple of months, with Antonio and Haller lively up front. The London side started on the front foot, with Declan Rice having a header from Robert Snodgrass' free-kick rightly disallowed for offside in the opening two minutes. West Ham then had a penalty appeal - in fact two penalty appeals in one - turned down.
Hyde United are the second most productive team in the league scoring 41 goals in 24 games but are only on the 9th place in the league because they are also conceding goals easily with 37 goals so far. Only 3 teams have conceded more goals so far this season.
Crystal Palace have signed defender Nathan Ferguson on a free transfer after his contract with Championship promotion hopefuls West Brom expired.

Nathan is a fantastic signing for us, a player we've been committed to for a long time," said Eagles chairman Steve Parish.

Brighton look to ensure their top-flight safety when they host Newcastle in the Premier League at The Amex on Monday night. The Seagulls are 15th at the time of writing, six points clear of the relegation zone with two games to play. They have a nine-goal advantage over Bournemouth even if the Cherries were to make up the points deficit, but Brighton would rather not leave anything to chance.
They have played 18 matches this season and won 15, losing three. They have failed to score in just one of their last 10 matches and have six clean sheets in the 10 matches.

Burnley are in form - they have taken 10 points from the last 12 available - and they are at home too, so I would back them to carry on their good run. Lawro's prediction: 2-1Daisy May: Burnley are going to get four, and Bournemouth three. Charlie: They don't score enough goals, those teams. It's going to be so drab.

Wolfsburg not only achieved an important victory by 1-0 in Bremen, they also remained without conceding in few matches. With 6th place, the team is on an EL spot with 2 points ahead of Hoffenheim. Freiburg is in eighth has 4 points less and could also play for the EL places. Most recently the SC won again after a 0-2-2 series against Gladbach. It should a tight affair. In the first game of the season between the two, the winner was Freiburg and today as a visitor they have a chance to add, I see a close game and they are one of the teams that have tied the most this season.
The appointment of Jose Mourinho looked unwise when Tottenham announced that he was to succeed Mauricio Pochettino as manager. At the time of writing, it hasn't paid any dividends. We see no signs that it will - not this season, at least. It appears as though Spurs are set to lose to German opposition for the fourth time this season. Back Leipzig to win by two clear goals.
They are seventh in the table, two places and a point above visitors Dinamo Brest. Their weekend fixture resulted in a 1-1 draw at FC Slutsk, that makes it two stalemates in a row, four in the last five and five for the season. The game looked to be heading for a draw but then Slutsk took an 81st minute lead.
However, by the time they lifted their first national title in 1980, they had grown to become one of the best supported clubs in the country. The early 1980s quickly became their own golden era. The team was spearheaded by legendary Brazilian playmaker Zico and claimed a stunning sequence of success - four league titles and the 1981 Libertadores Cup, followed by that aforementioned Intercontinental Cup triumph.
The Ukraine international joined Rayo on loan in 2017 but the deal was cancelled hours later after fans turned up to training with a banner saying the town was "not a place for Nazis". Zozulya has always denied links with far-right groups. A league statement backed the referee's decision to call off the game.
However, Spurs, who had one day less to prepare than Southampton, were without the injured Harry Kane, Giovani lo Celso and Erik Lamela, with recent signing Steven Bergwijn ineligible for this game as he did not play in the original match. I think I did very well because I had to manage a team with so many difficulties," said boss Jose Mourinho. I changed from the back five to the back four in the moment when I could.
Arsenal's decision to sack Unai Emery after only 18 months in charge is another example of a club and a manager failing in the almost impossible task of plotting the succession of a legend. Manchester United are the extreme example - when Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down after 26 years and 38 trophies he was followed by the flawed choice of David Moyes, out of his depth and dismissed after 10 months.
No Championship team has conceded more goals via set pieces than Derby County this season (13, level with Barnsley and Huddersfield Town). Blackburn will be hoping to add to their six set piece goals this season, while we see them taking advantage of a poor Derby side. Given how the visitors have been struggling on the road, we are going with a home win at Ewood Park this weekend.
Do you remember when Jordan Henderson was a joke? The Debate: Why Virgil van Dijk should win PFA Player of the Year The Debate: Why Kevin de Bruyne should win PFA Player of the Year It’s a sign of just how far the Liverpool captain has come that it can be hard to think back, but there was a (sustained) period of time where he was the butt of most jokes directed at the club.

Do better, everyone. Aleksander Cefarin speaks on racism It is of course easy and probably justified to be cynical about the seriousness of the football authorities about fighting racism. We only have decades of evidence to support that cynicism. So you’ll obviously take the president of UEFA saying they will do more with a pinch of salt, but it’s probably only fair to listen to what he has to say, in an interview with the Daily Mirror’s Darren Lewis, and judge for yourself.
Everton are also under the guidance of a new manager in Carlo Ancelotti, and the Italian can look back upon a rather successful start to life at Goodison Park. Their dismal FA Cup defeat against a second-string Liverpool squad aside, they have won three of their four Premier League matches under Ancelotti, and have actually only lost one of their seven league games since Marco Silva’s departure.
Celtic are in a strong financial position but we are not immune to this unique set of circumstances. Our club is built on a great collective spirit and we are acutely aware of our responsibilities to colleagues, supporters and society as a whole. The fact that we can announce this package of measures in a spirit of harmony is testimony to the unity which exists within the club and will carry us into the future.
Buffalo have lost two of their last three games. Houston lost their last match but left out some key players and they will return for this wild card match.
