The odds: Silva is currently the outright favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked. Ex-Everton boss David Moyes is the favourite to replace him, ahead of Bournemouth's Eddie Howe and Manchester City assistant coach Mikel Arteta - who also happens to be a former Toffees player. Sutton's verdict: "Silva was brought in to take Everton to the next level, a European place. There has been no improvement under him.
It certainly wasn't a vintage performance from us but we set up in a manner that I felt gave us the best chance of getting a win or getting something from the game, because we had so many players missing. I thought we were really comfortable in the second half, I don't think they had a shot on target but then the penalty decision swings the game. It doesn't look like a penalty to me. For how hard they worked, and how little space and time they gave some really good players in Albion's team, I thought we deserved something from the match.
Chelsea are third in Group H with eight points -- the same as second-placed Valencia and two points behind leaders Ajax Amsterdam -- having been unbeaten away, but the London side have picked up only one point in two European home games this season. Lampard's side can qualify for the last 16 with a win over Lille or a draw if Ajax beat Valencia.

The visitors are hoping their two decent results this year have been the result of new boss Davide Nicola, who could really turn their fortunes around. However, it would be pretty unprecedented for him to pick up three points with the Grifone this week. Genoa enjoyed a 2-1 win last time out in Serie A – the last time the Rossoblu won two consecutive league games was back in September 2018, under Davide Ballardini.
I fancy both the home win and the over 2.5 goals bet to happen here just like last season when Eibar won at home with 2-1 against Alaves who is really not that great away team and concedes goals much more easier on the road than away from home a couple of 4-1 or 4-2 defeats for them away from home and they were not world class opponents either so their defense can really not be trusted here but they should find the back of the net and I will take the over 2.5 goals bet here in this fixture at decent odds.
Furthermore, Rangers have conceded just five goals in their seven Scottish Premiership home games this season. We expect Kilmarnock to have a difficult time trying to break down an impressive Rangers defence in this Boxing Day clash.
United target Aubameyang move Manchester United are considering a £50m move for Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The striker is out of contract next summer and, according to The Sun, Arsenal chiefs have already accepted he is not going to sign a new deal. Aubameyang has scored 49 goals in 75 Premier League games since joining the Gunners for £56m in January 2018.
Haaland is the Real deal Real Madrid are planning to make a move for Borussia Dortmund teenager Erling Braut Haaland, despite the fact that the Norwegian only recently joined the Bundesliga club in January. According to the Sun, Los Blancos are planning for the future with Karim Benzema now 32 years old.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Messi and Rapinoe win the Ballons d’Or It’s probably quite silly to say that individual awards in football are pointless: that might be the case to you and I, those unlikely to actually win any of these awards, observing from afar on a team game where single performances are important but ultimately subservient to the wider scheme of things.
I am so pleased we did. That is what the Leeds supporters were like all the way through my time at the club. Home and away they were always there, however the team were doing and whoever the opposition were - and it will be the same at Emirates Stadium on Monday. They have had to put up with a lot of disappointment in recent years but these are exciting times for the club. What they really want is to be back in the big time for good, not just for a one-off cup game, and I am confident that will happen soon.
Outscoring their opponents at home has been a big issue for MK Dons, who've scored six and conceded 14, but not for Rotherham on the road. The visitors have notched 12 and conceded just on their travels. Only Ipswich have a better travelling goal difference than Rotherham.
United are said to be willing to pay £42 million up front, whereas Sporting are requesting an extra £13 million to be included in the payment for their club captain. The deal is said to be worth in excess of £65 million included add-on bonus fees. Paper Round's view: United need to get this deal over the line.
Quite simply, even if they rotate slightly, Oxford are far too good for a Hartlepool side that is in the bottom half in the National League. While the visitors have been conceding an abundance of goals on their travels, shipping 11 in five away matches in the fifth division, The U's, who're League 1's third-best team in terms of shots on target conceded at home, have been keeping clean sheets for fun at home in League 1. They've also beaten Tranmere, Gillingham, Doncaster and Rotherham by two or more goals at home in last few months, which suggests that they'll have more than enough in the tank to overcome Saturday's visitors. A straightforward win is on the cards and punters can profit by siding with 'Oxford -1 Handicap'.
Not knowing when the window opens, WhatsApp videos, threadbare squads and being tighter than two coats of paint. Scottish football has been given formal permission to begin the Premiership season on 1 August, but ambiguity and uncertainty surrounds the buying and selling of players. From an international without a club, to a chief executive needing another 14 players, BBC Scotland speaks to those waiting for the transfer window to open in the coming days.

Liverpool moved to within three wins of their first Premier League title by coming from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 at Anfield. The hosts fell behind in controversial circumstances, as Callum Wilson slotted home Jefferson Lerma's low cross after appearing to shove Joe Gomez in the build-up to the goal. But Mohamed Salah restored parity with a low finish and Sadio Mane latched on to Virgil van Dijk's perfectly weighted through-ball to complete the turnaround.
Jurgen Klopp's side were the third Premier League team to manage more than a year without losing. Arsenal - whose 49 games included the entire 2003-04 season - and Chelsea (from October 2004 to November 2005) are the others. Liverpool's only domestic defeats in that period were against Wolves in the FA Cup last January and their young team losing to Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in December. If you include penalties you can throw in this season's Community Shield too.

Only Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck have done so at a younger age in the Premier League for United. Greenwood has already scored more goals than Macheda and will hope to stay clear of the injuries that dogged Welbeck at United. With seven goals to his name, Greenwood is now clear as United's second top scorer behind Marcus Rashford this season. What's next?Manchester United are next in action against League Two Colchester in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday (20:00 GMT) before a Premier League trip to bottom side Watford on 22 December (14:00 GMT).
Regardless, two wins - or one win and two draws - from their remaining three games will bring the championship to Zinedine Zidane's side. Real Madrid v Alaves as it happenedAlaves, three points above the relegation zone, were overseen by new manager Juan Lopez Muniz for the first time after a five-game losing run had led to Asier Garitano's departure. But the Basque underdogs almost took a shock lead in the opening minutes when former Stoke and Newcastle striker Joselu's header crashed off the bar and Lucas Perez's follow-up was cleared off the line by Raphael Varane.
NO! That's the second goal Barcelona have had chalked off for offside. Griezmann put the ball in the back of the net, but play is called back by the officials. GOAL! Barcelona 2-1 Alaves: The visitors are back in this game! Duarte beat Roberto down the left side and swung an excellent cross into the box and Pons came steaming into the box to power a bullet header past Ter Stegen! The Barcelona goalkeeper didn't even move! What a header! 58’ What a mix up! That was very nearly a disaster at the back for Barcelona! Roberto's back pass was a bad one, Ter Stegen came out and made a hash of the clearance, but Perez couldn't squeeze it in from distance.
We fight this pandemic together," said the Spurs boss. With football suspended indefinitely, Spurs have converted their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for use by the NHS and as a food distribution centre. Fresh fruit and vegetables grown at the Premier League side's training ground, which would usually be eaten by the players, is now being donated to the local community. Mourinho has volunteered to work at the club's Enfield training base before transporting the food to the stadium ready for distribution.
One of Sampdoria’s rare wins this season came in the last round at Crotone. That was also a rare victory on the road in this competition, as it’s Samp’s only away victory in the Coppa Italia across their last 13 games in this competition. After that poor run on the road, they should be worried for this trip to Cagliari, who have scored 22 goals in nine matches at home in the Coppa.
S. Soccer. They have repeatedly declined our invitation to meet on the premise that our proposal does not include U. S. Soccer agreeing to make up the difference in future prize money awarded by FIFA for the Men's and Women's World Cups," the letter said. Molly Levinson, a spokeswoman for the players, said the letter was "riddled with falsehoods" and that it "included the smallest number of games possible, designed to leave out all tournaments, including the SheBelieves Cup being held right now.

They had Erwin Stein up front, a physical striker with pace and a deadly finisher who'd scored 24 goals in 30 games in the German Oberliga and another seven in five in the cup. Stein's understanding with Richard Kress, the outside right, was uncanny. Kress was lightning quick himself. The outside left was Erich Meier, who had scored twice at Ibrox. In the middle of the park they had Dieter Lindner and Alfred Pfaff.
Lampard expects Chelsea transfer decision 'soon' Chelsea may find out within days whether the transfer ban for two windows imposed on it by world soccer governing body FIFA has been lifted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, thinks manager Frank Lampard.

Isloch Minsk have won three home league games this season. Isloch Minsk have only lost one of their last eight home league matches. Vitebsk have only won one of their last five away league games. Isloch Minsk have yet another home game in the Belarus Premier League. They are fifth in the table and look to get a fourth home win of the season when hosting second placed Vitebsk.
Dimitar Berbatov was often viewed as lazy during his time playing in England. What his critics didn’t know was that this was all a part of the striker’s plan. In a wide-ranging interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, the former Tottenham and Manchester United forward revealed that his languid playing style was in fact a ploy to lull defenders into a false sense of security. With 94 goals in 229 Premier League games, it would be fair to say that it often worked.
Or a game at all. Or actually betting at all. Sturridge has actually been banned because it was deemed he shared information with his brother and friends about potential transfer away from Liverpool, to Sevilla and West Brom in 2018, information that was apparently then used for betting. He was originally fined £75,000 and given a six-week ban (four weeks suspended), but the FA appealed against that decision and his punishment increased to a four-month ban and £150,000 fine.
there is no doubt that Paul is enormous favorite for the win in this match, they are on second place on the table and at home they have 6-4-1 score, on the other side Toulon is very close to the relegation zone, they are very bad on the road especially their offense so I m very confident they can't score a goal tonight and on the other side pau great home offense should score at least two and secure the win with 2 difference,also Paul is going to be motivated because they played draw versus Toulon in first part of the season 0-0 on the road
Portsmouth will against Rochdale in match England League One. Portsmouth have great result on last 5 match in the home due to Portsmouth always won for the all match. Meanwhile, Rochdale have not great result on last 5 away match due to Rochdale only have draw in 1 match and 4 match is lose. Therefore, my prediction that Portsmouth can beat Rochdale on this match due to Portsmouth more strong in every home match. Moreover Portsmouth have yet lose on last 10 match in the home. Surely Rochdale will difficult to beat Portsmouth. Beside that Portsmouth have top scorer player like as John Marquis. Surely Portsmouth will have more chance to win on this match.
He did get a glance at some of the younger talent he will work with, although Arteta must add street-wisdom in defence and midfield. Emile Smith Rowe made his first Premier League start; Reiss Nelson and Gabriel Martinelli their third. Arteta will have noted their promise but his task is to organise what he has while eventually adding serious quality and steel. He will have been happy to watch his new Arsenal side take a point here - but both he and Ancelotti will be under no illusions after this turgid experience.

Fortaleza will host Santos for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the visitors are favorites in this game. Santos are one of the best teams in this campaign. True, I believe, Santos is better team at home. However, the visitors are in solid shape in recent times. I think, they have the potential to pick up the victory on the road. Also, we have Fortaleza who's is very average team in this season. Fortaleza are in better shape in the last matches. Perhaps, the hosts wil ltry to provide a strong resistance. In any case, the visitors have a great team. I think, Santos will closer to victory.
The two sides face off with Watford in 17th place with 31 points while Newcastle are 13th on 43 points. Watford need not to depend on other results for their survival if they can register maximum points in the remaining matches. They beat Norwich in their last game in what would come to be a very crucial win and facing a Newcastle side coming from a heavy loss will be an advantage to the hosts.
Bumprom will against Shakhtyor Petrikov in match Belarusia Second Division. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 3.75 goals due to Shakhtyor Petrikov on last 3 match in league have total score is 15 goals. Meanwhile, Bumprom on last 3 match in league have total score is 9 goals. Therefore, I think this match will much score from both teams. Moreover Bumprom and Shakhtyor Petrikov have yet lose and surely this match will tight from both teams. Beside that Bumprom and Shakhtyor Petrikov have average score per match around 3 goals. Therefore, my prediction this match will the end score over 3.75 goals.
Midfielders - Juan Mata (Man United), Bernard (Everton), Kevin de Bruyne (Man City), Roberto Firmino (Liverpool) Juan Mata: The ball for Marcus Rashford to score Manchester United's opening goal against a soon-to-be-ravaged Norwich City was wonderful. There are few players in the Premier League capable of delivering such a ball - but Mata is one of them.

Everton's planned 52,000-capacity stadium is part of the regeneration of Liverpool's northern docklandChelsea's new powerhouseIn 2012, Chelsea made a bid to buy the iconic Battersea Power Station in south-west London, with a plan to redevelop it into a 60,000-capacity stadium. The thinking, at the time, was any plan to increase capacity at Stamford Bridge made no economic sense. Plans for the new ground included preserving the building’s landmark four chimneys and also the Grade II listed turbine hall and control room.
Chelsea’s Boxing Day outing went even worse than their opponents’ did. They were tactically outwitted at Stamford Bridge and found themselves on the end of a 2-0 defeat to Southampton, pouring cold water on the excitement of having beaten Spurs 2-0 just a few days earlier.
She is also very dangerous in goalscoring opportunities. She can kind of do it all. Van den Berg: "I think she has been so difficult to play against. She is such a complete player, she is so strong. She is just a top, top-class player. Smith: "I think she is that player the US rely on, someone you really want on your team. She is so dangerous and can be unplayable. She was just an outstanding player for all of that tournament.
The opener came, true to form, from a cross, as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain clipped a centre onto the head Wijnaldum who headed down into the ground and in to send Anfield into delirium. Costa was replaced early in the second half by Llorente, much to the former Chelsea striker’s frustration, kicking the medical bag as he made his way to the bench.
We did not start the game well. We gave up opportunities in the early part of the game and they were better than us in the opening period," said Moyes, whose team fell behind to Conor Townsend's ninth-minute opener. We were a bit fortunate we did not concede another goal but we got through to halftime and I made a decision to make a few changes.
