It was a very welcome win for Werder Bremen at the weekend but there's a lot more work to be done to avoid relegation. Home form has been a nightmare this season with one win and that was back in September.

Valenciennes go into this match in completely different form as they have been quickly ascending the Ligue 2 table. They have won four and drawn one of their last five league games which has carried them to 5th in the table which is quite the feat for a team that has never finished in the top half of any league since 2006.
Despite a good start performance of Leeds which resulted in their leading the log standing, they are now dropping their points and they are so far having three away games without a win, they have lost their last away at the weekend away to Nottingham Forest where they conceded two goals and score nothing so they are poor on away games so far.

It's always disappointing when some people are deflecting and finger pointing at this time when people are seriously ill and dying," he said. Football is a major player in this country and lots of footballers past and present have a huge conscience about what we do and doing the right thing.

The BBC is reporting that Tottenham's compensation package for Mauricio Pochettino and his staff will be a tidy sum over £12m. Not a bad pay off. Some non-Tottenham news (I know, crazy) because Liverpool look like they will be without to starters on Saturday for their trip to Crystal Palace. Mo Salah has been battling an ankle injury and will reportedly miss Saturday's Premier League return while Andy Robertson missed Scotland's games against Cyprus and Kazakhstan - and appears not to have made a full recovery.
Torino head to this clash on 39 points and in 16th place while Roma are fifth with 64 points. One point secured in their last match against SPAL assured Torino of another season in the top flight but that was also heavily helped by Lecce’s loss to Bologna. In the last 17 league matches, Torino have managed just three wins, a highlight of the poor run they have had, losing 11 of those.

Burnley vs Manchester United predictions for Saturday night's Premier League clash at Turf Moor. Burnley hope to push into the top half of the Premier League table when they host the frustratingly erratic Manchester United. Read on for all our free Premier League predictions and betting tips.
SuperSport have been the dominant side in this fixture but they will head here on a bad streak, having lost four of the last five matches. They have failed to score in their last three matches and taking on a side unbeaten in the last three will leave them as the underdogs. Bidvest have done fairly well in their recent matches and we feel they will dominate SuperSport. A win for Wits is a risk worth taking.
City looked to be back to their old ruthless selves in sweeping aside Burnley on Tuesday, and they know that another win is imperative. In fact, a long sequence of wins is what City need to really apply some pressure to leaders Liverpool. Are Pep Guardiola's side capable of putting together a dozen or so wins in a row? Of course they are. No title has ever been won in December. VIEW FROM THE DUGOUTManchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "It's Man United; I respect what they've done for English football, European, and world football.
Watching his Netherlands dart and thrust their way around Uruguay or Argentina in 1974, or seeing his Ajax outwit Juventus in the European Cup final in 1973, was to see a devastating puppet-master toying with lumbering opponents.

It is a good day in the FA Cup and I'm delighted to get the goals," Idah told BBC Sport. I think all the assists were from Marco Stiepermann and we have been working on that in training.

Brighton was defeated in last two rounds, but in last round against Tottenham they really played well in first half, unfortunate for them, in second half Tottenham scored two goals and totally changed the way of the match, final result was 2-1. Bournemouth has showed their real quality in last round, when they played a draw against Arsenal, they was really close to win whole three points, but at the end match was finished with a draw result, 1-1. At standings, both clubs have the same number of points, with same goal difference, and the worst result in this duel for each side would be a defeat, neither side will play risky.
Beroe is in sixth place in the table. They have only one draw this season. Levski is in third place in the table. They won fourteen games this season. I think there could be a tie in this game. It's not about anything for them anymore, but the form is correct with three wins from the last five games. Levski Sofia, on the other hand, has only won one of the last five games. Levski is much stronger than Before and would like to play in Europe soon. For Before, it's more about nothing. Home advantage doesn't really matter without spectators. I think they will involve in a goal less draw.
