January. A time of many fixtures, players being rested, squads being rotated and also new additions coming into the league.

So, here are a few tips on players you want in your side this week and those you should avoid.
The side have lost four of their last five, picking up just one point out of their last possible 15 and things don’t look good for them this weekend as they welcome the league leaders.

It’s easy to see why. The Saints sit second from bottom in the Premier League and currently find themselves on an eight match winless streak in the league. Six of these games have ended in defeat, including that 9-0 humiliation at home to Leicester last month. It will take an awful lot to wipe that memory from the St Mary’s Stadium stands.
At half-time the team made a joint decision not to return to the playing field, as they felt unsupported and under-valued by those higher in the club," he said. As manager of these lads I completely supported their decision. I asked for help on many occasions and none was provided. Richardson also accused the club of of taking "no action" after players were subjected to racist abuse, an allegation they deny.

While his introverted nature has kept him from the headlines, his status as a Swedish football icon has not wavered. Fagerlund added: "Fredrik will always be considered as one of the greatest. He did a lot for the national Team and today Arsenal is one of the most popular clubs in Sweden. He describes himself as shy but he is a strong character nowadays. That he's not driven by fame or recognition may be an advantage in his leadership.
Rodgers defends Maddison over Dubai night outMOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES@Guymowbray: A Wolves win would actually put them sixth at least until Sunday. When you consider that this is game 42 of a season that started in July, you can only applaud how Nuno Espirito Santo has met the demands of home and Europe together. Yes, they have resources, but not a huge squad. Indeed, no team has fielded fewer than the 20 players to feature in the Premier League for Wolves this season.
What an incredible performance for a young player," Lampard said afterwards. He was a calm head in that first five or 10 minutes. He's a throwback of a midfielder. Can you put your foot in? Yes. Can you make angles to play the passes? Yes. He's only slight in stature but he's huge in personality. He deserves people to talk about him after a performance like that. Midfielder Ross Barkley, who scored the second goal of the night at Stamford Bridge, echoed his manager's praise for his young team-mate.
Decent. Aaron Ramsey (Wales) - 5 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 2016. Best finish: Semi-finals (2016)Yes, Ramsey makes our list and not Gareth Bale - the Real Madrid man didn't fulfil our criteria. Ramsey was just as important in Wales' legendary run, picking up four assists and a goal in his five games. Had he not been suspended for the semi-final, who knows. David Silva (Spain) - 15 apps, 3 goals.

Read the full story Emery turns down Everton The Daily Star thinks that Emery himself is in no rush to move on after departing Arsenal.

The home side looked dangerous in attack and got into good positions as Arsenal, who saw Lucas Torreira carried off on a stretcher after a sliding tackle from James Bolton, struggled in defence.

Of course he should go if he wants to, I will support him," Zidane told a news conference ahead of his side's La Liga match away to Levante on Saturday.

Speaking in October, Ramos said he was excited by the prospect of playing for Spain at the Games in Tokyo.
Celtic suffered a shock Europa League last-32 exit after a dramatic - and self-inflicted - defeat against FC Copenhagen in Glasgow. Neil Lennon's side looked to have forced extra time when Odsonne Edouard dinked in a penalty - awarded after a VAR check - with seven minutes left to cancel out Michael Santos' opener. But the Danish champions netted twice on the break in the final five minutes - through Pep Biel and Dame N'Doye - to earn a 4-2 aggregate win and mete out Celtic's first defeat in 2020.

The Belgium midfielder returned to action after the lockdown and performed as though he'd never been away. It has not been a great season so far for Manchester City. They have won the Carabao Cup but in the grand scheme of things, that is not enough for City. De Bruyne needs to be winning league titles and the Champions League on a regular basis. Players of his ability deserve nothing less. The opportunity still exists to lift the most coveted prize in Europe, but should that elude him questions will surface - namely, are they at the right club?Did you know? De Bruyne became the second player to provide 20 assists in a single Premier League campaign, after Thierry Henry in 2002-03.

He didn't envisage then that Solskjaer would get the job permanently. It was over the time that followed it became apparent the Norwegian shared the same wider vision as he did. That vision involves a commitment to attacking football. In his latter years, Ferguson did use the counter-attack with increasing regularity, so Solskjaer is not reinventing history with his post-match comments. It also involves the use of home-grown players.

United have not attacked with intelligence since the early stages of David Moyes’ time, before the whole hollow edifice crumbled. In the second half, he was pulled back deeper. Either that was Solskjaer’s choice or the midfielder’s, but it is the manager’s job to correct such mistakes. He was taken away from the danger area, from the place on the pitch that he was at his most threatening at Sporting Lisbon.

My bet is over 2.5 goals in this match between Scunthorpe and Plymouth. I expect there could easily be 3 goals in this match. So far the host has played 12/24 games over 2.5 goals. So far they have averaged 2.7 goals per game and have gone over 2.5 goals in the last 24 games. Plymouth have played 10/22 games over 2.5 goals so far, and have gone over 2.5 goals in the last 3/5 games, averaging 2.5 goals per game. It is clear that this could be a match for at least 3 goals, and it is realistic to be at least 2-1 for either team.
I think it's buying them a bit of time to get the right man in, a couple of results, they can make the process more diligent," the former Scotland international said. We need the best manager in the world, I've not got the experience. I'm all for us bringing in a top manager and if I can be part of it, great. Ferguson has been happy with his players - who have picked up four points from two difficult games against 'big six' sides.

Reece James Club: ChelseaAge: 20Position: Versatile defender/midfielderReece James has been allowed to flourish under Lampard's youth policy at Stamford Bridge. James impressed on loan at Wigan Athletic in the Championship last season, before stepping up to the Premier League this term. He is a technically gifted footballer who is equally comfortable at right-back, in central midfield or central defence, and his ability to deliver dangerous crosses from wide has produced two assists.
It is impossible not to imagine Liverpool fans doing the same at the point when their 30-year wait reaches its end, which could be as soon as Saturday. The fact Liverpool could achieve the feat inside their own - closed - stadium, with fans outside waiting to celebrate is surreal. One could forgive the Premier League, police, local council and anyone else who would have to deal with this situation wanting it wrapped up very quickly before the present advice changes.
Matt Smith scored a hat-trick as Millwall boosted their Championship play-off hopes and delivered a blow to Nottingham Forest's promotion challenge with a convincing win at the City Ground.
