Fair play to the sly old dog. BielsaOut - do yourselves a favour and pipe down Marcelo Bielsa has done an incredible job at Leeds. He has made a fairly bog-standard team more than the sum of its parts.

Six of their last 10 matches have produced over 2. Lyon have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches and conceded twice in just two of the last 10.

I remember popping out of the team hotel the next day, and going into Burnham town centre to get my hair cut - yes, believe it or not I did have hair back then. When I got out of the taxi, there was a kind of street party going on. I had been reading about it in the newspapers but it was different to see it for myself - that was one of the times I realised what the atmosphere was like around the entire country.

Whittingham, who made 459 appearances for Cardiff, scoring 98 goals was only 35. It is with an immeasurable amount of sorrow that we must inform supporters that Peter Whittingham has passed away at the age of 35. We are heartbroken," Cardiff wrote in a statement. The news of Peter's sudden and untimely passing has shaken us to our very foundation.
Bayern is on third place on the table with 3 points away from the first place but most important they are just 1 point ahead of teams behind them and they are right now in promotion zone so I think they will surely be motivated to win tonight and I think they will get the win because they are great team in great form and on the other side munchen is not that good especially defensively but they need to open and try to win and that is why I think they will lose it and the odd on hosts is much higher than I was expected it to be
I told myself that I won't touch Tottenham any more specially when Mourinho come in this team. Still, reason why I pick goals here is that both teams lately score a small number of goals and that this trend must stop somewhere.

A massive 11 points separate the two sides with fourth placed PSV on 46 points and Groningen, placed eighth, have managed 35 points so far. Groningen have lost their last two league matches and three of their last five. With just two wins and one clean sheet in five matches, they will be the underdogs here.
Whichever way we look at this game, it's impossible to categorise it as anything other than a huge opportunity for the hosts and they're backed to grab it with both hands. In the betting, 'Lyon to Win to Nil' appeals. Lyon have outperformed their visitors in all attacking areas, while they've also done a good job of restricting teams at home, conceding an average of just 0.67 goals at Groupama Stadium. Add in that Brest have scored in only one of their last four on the road, averaging just 0.67 goals for away from home this term and just 2.22 shots on target, and the above selection starts to look favourable.
Things don’t look like they are changing any time soon with the side looking low on confidence and struggling to score goals, only notching more than one on one occasion so far. They’ve also conceded more than anyone else in the league, with 14 goals against in nine games.
Progressive carries measures the number times a player brings the ball at least five metres upfield, and a number defenders - rather than traditional 'dribblers' - make this list as a result. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson leads the way and the presence of Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the top 10 it suggests this is a tactic effectively employed by the league leaders. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are redefining the way full-backs play," former Reds striker Peter Crouch said on Match of the Day 2 earlier in November.
It will be very very interesting to watch Germany Bundesliga again, after this long brake and problems with Corona Virus. Of course, we don't know in what shape this rivals will be and that is the key for today's duel - it is much better to bet on goals, because I'm sure that we will see few surprises today in matches from this round. Last time, Dortmund and Schalke 04, who are big traditionally rivals, are played just 0-0, but I hope this time will be different. I will bet on goals and enjoy in this interesting derby duel, surely.

Defending champions City are second, 25 points behind leaders Liverpool. Arsenal are ninth, five points behind fifth-placed Manchester United but with a game in handCity's potential European ban is hanging over them a little bit - the decision on their appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport is due in July. But even if their suspension is upheld, I cannot see Arsenal making fifth spot and qualifying for the Champions League that way.
Gorodeya host Shakhtyor in the Belarus premier league. Both teams did not start the season quite well. In my opinion Shakhtyor Soligorsk are lot better team and should have no problem winning this match. There is noticeable quality difference between these two teams, the home team Gorodeya are average club with low expectations while Shakhtyor Soligorsk have squad with quality players and will try to achieve as best as possible results this season, probably top 3 positions together with BATE Borisov and Brest. In the end, my bet for this match is shakhtyor soligorsk to win by 2 goals difference.

In that last game against Chelsea, Arsenal weren't at the level Arteta needed them to be. They are more used to the training intensity now and they might have adapted more fitness-wise. Even in Saturday's disappointing draw with Sheffield United, the Gunners covered more ground and put in more sprints than when the Blades beat them 1-0 back in October - so there's signs Arteta is getting more work from his players, if not the results.
They also called for SPFL chief executive Doncaster and SPFL legal adviser Rod McKenzie to be suspended.

I was never treated any differently, they used to bounce me off the cage walls and that toughened me up – I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'd like to think I'm a bit better than all of them now and I know they are very proud of me but I have a lot of thank them for.

Domestically things aren't going to plan for the visitors either and they are under a large amount of pressure from supporters. Indeed, Galatasaray are 6th in the Turkish Super Lig table and find themselves some 7 points short of top spot and that along with the fact they've won just 1 of their last 5 matches as well as 1 of their last 7 on the road has confidence low prior to making this trip
Smouha will host Aswan for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts have a great chance to get all three points. I believe, Smouha is really better team than their opponent. Smouha are more ambitious team in this season. Also, the hosts are in solid shape. They are undefeated in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Aswan who's is not very good team in this campaign. The Visitors have a poor results. They are not convincing team. They are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. So, I expect, the hosts to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal.
