EVERTON CHANCE! Calvert-Lewin sees his goal-bound shot brilliantly blocked after good work by Richarlison on the left of the area. KEY STATS Gabriel Martinelli's effort in the 44th minute was Arsenal's first shot in the match, their longest wait for a first attempt in a Premier League game since May 2015 against Man Utd (51st minute).
Despite Nantes not being overly impressive on the road recently, Nîmes have taken the word 'awful' to a whole new level with ten goals conceded in their last two games. The hosts have found hitting the back of the net extremely difficult and with Nantes conceding zero non-penalty goals in two of their last three games it should be another disappointment for the Crocodiles.
Game for the 16th round of the Eerste Divisie from the Netherlands with Excelsior facing FC Volendam on a contest that will take place this Friday. Excelsior is currently with one more point than their opponents but it's hard to ignore Volendam's recent results and their great moment of form. The team is currently on a four match winning streak and is hard to go against them. On the other side, Excelsior only won one of the last five official games on this competition and aren't in good form. For that reason, the value is definitely on the visitors to cover.
Both of these teams have been a part of plenty of entertaining, high-scoring games this season. Both teams have seen over 2.5 goals scored in the vast majority of their games. Fortuna have seen over 2.5 goals in 12 of their 17 Bundesliga games, while Werder Bremen have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 14 of their 17 Bundesliga games.
Will take this one quite safe bet, Neman played 4 games at home this season and all 4 games were with at least 2 goals scored starting with a 2-0 win at home against Vitebsk despite the score being 0-0 at half-time and I watched that game and I can say they were by no means perfect in defense, followed by a 1-1 draw at home with Belshina, very poor result against the bottom of the league they could not win, and a surprise 3-0 win against a quite solid Energetik side which is 6-0-3 in the league this season and beat clubs like Brest or BATE even.
TALKING POINT - Has the Mourinho effect taken hold at Spurs? To call this match lacklustre would be an understatement. Watford were the brighter team in the end, and though Mourinho certainly has some squad difficulties going against him at the moment, fans may start to question what kind of football they’re likely to see under the so-called Special One”.

There’s a lot linking these two Welsh rivals, especially their top-six push this season. However, they’ve both started the New Year in similar defensive collapses. Cardiff lost their last league game 6-1 at QPR, while the Swans were crushed 5-1 in the FA Cup by QPR days later. Cardiff's defeat away to QPR was the first time they'd shipped 6+ goals in a league game outside of the top-flight since April 2009 vs Preston (0-6).
Meanwhile, as evidenced by the dozens of videos that abound on social networks, the Italians stick together, figuratively. The Bergamo club had just been through a more than hectic week. After the announcement of the country's quarantine, when the club was already in Valencia for the knockout round of the Champions League, everything changed.
This is the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and Inter will play at home against Napoli. It is also the first meeting, so everything is not decided in this match, but I still think Inter is looking for a positive result. Inter made an incredible turn in the derby against Milan last Sunday, winning 4-2. They were down 0-2 at halftime.

We all know there are negotiations in progress and we're not going to hide it. Valencia president Anil Murthy was in the Barcelona with Jorge Mendes to negotiate a deal for the striker, valued at 60 million euros ($66. Spanish media reports said. Rodrigo has gone to Barcelona because he has a medical with Doctor (Ramon) Cugat, which was expected to take place like this," added Celades, whose side face Cultural Leonesa in the Copa del Rey last 16 on Wednesday.
They have managed to turn the stadium into one of the most formidable fortresses in Europe with all the stats showing the strength of the Parisians when playing in their own city. They have created the most chances, scored the most goals, conceded the least chances and conceded the least goals of all Ligue 1 teams at home in this campaign and Nantes should just be another name to add to their list of victims.

Chorley’s journey to the National League saw them win the National League North play-offs in impressive fashion last season, but they took a little while to adapt to life at their new level and they currently find themselves at the foot of the division. However, things have started to take a turn for the better of late and they come into this match having claimed three wins from their last seven outings.
Admira is going to face Rheindorf Altach and it will be a difficult clash for the hosts. Admira lost three of the last four matches in the league and they will probably end this season on the bottom of the table. Admira got only 12 points and they are in the bad shape. The visitors won last matches and today they should win another one. They are a much better team and I don't think that they will be struggling against a team like Admira. The visitors are so close to getting promoted to Bundesliga of Austria and they have to win matches like that
Odds are very small on this option on goals in Honduras, but that will be probably easy money, because both rivals are very offensive and they are both playing very efficient, all the time. Marathon is and traditionaly playing very efficient against this rival and in last few matches, this teams are played 1-2, 1-3, 4-1, 6-0, 0-1 and 2-3. I think that tonight, Marathon and Honduras Progreso will be probably on similar level and that is mean that they will play duel with at least three goals, probably and more than that. Odds are very small, but never mind.
Quique Setien suffered his first defeat as Barcelona manager as Valencia claimed their first home win over the Spanish champions since 2007. The hosts broke the deadlock when Jordi Alba deflected Maxi Gomez's powerful strike past Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Gomez, who had a first-half penalty saved by Ter Stegen, completed the scoring in the second half. There were unsavoury scenes before the game as rival fans clashed outside the Mestalla Stadium.

I know these two teams played a lot of crazy high scoring games together for example last season here the hosts won 5-2 while at Dordrecht the game ended 3-3 as well, while earlier this season when they played at Dordrecht the game ended 5-2 once more for Jong Ajax, but the hosts in this one are not really feeling it up-front at this moment with their last 3 home games ending with under 2.5 goals even despite not facing top opponents.
Whyte's worldCraig Whyte's book got massive publicity when it came out and it seems that it was a bit of a bestseller among Celtic fans, if not Rangers fans. It's clear that the former Ibrox chairman is still struggling in the self-awareness department given some of the things that he has written. It seemed that everyone I came into contact with tried to shaft me," he wrote. It's safe to say that not many will accept Whyte's self-portrayal as an innocent fall guy in Rangers' implosion.
Wrexham lost with 3-2 away from home at Fylde earlier this season and it was one of many games played by Fylde this season with over 2.5 goals scored in them in fact it ended with 5 goals scored there and Wrexham usually does need motivation to be scoring a couple of goals and they should have it with Fylde scoring 16 goals on the road this season just that their defense is even weaker with 23 goals conceded.

Read the full story 12:25 - Lampard proud of Chelsea's coronavirus response Frank Lampard has revealed his pride at Chelsea's response to the coronavirus crisis. The Blues have donated their Millennium Hotel, adjacent to Stamford Bridge, to NHS staff working in nearby hospitals, captain Cesar Azpilcueta was involved in the charitable #PlayersTogether initiative, and the club have taken part in numerous other community schemes.
There had to be a response from the champions - and there was. Just as in the first half, Jullien headed on goal and just as in the first half, Davis was there to kick it to safety. Boli Bolingoli fired on McGregor soon after but the goalkeeper pulled off another big save. Rangers saw it out from there. It got a bit sweaty for them at times as Celtic piled forward but the win was deserved. Of course there had to be sensation at the end - and there was.
Forty four years on to the day, BBC Scotland looks back at the prominent role the ground's square goalposts would play, the match-winning "Bull", and the tale of "glorious failure". The Stones, the Bull and the KaiserThe travelling German contingent boasted some of the best players of all time. Franz Beckenbauer captained the side, while Gerd Muller and Sepp Maier were among his team-mates. As if they needed one, they possessed another deadly weapon in Franz Roth, remembered with a degree of hostility by some Rangers fans as the player who scored the winner against them in the 1967 Cup Winners' Cup final.
Cracovia Krakow Will host Pogon Szczecin in the Ekstraklasa of Poland on Monday. Both the teams are currently on bottom of the Championship group. Cracovia Krakow lost both the matches in Championship Group. They lost first game to Jagiellonia by 1-2 and lost last game to Slask Wroclaw by 2-3. While Pogon lost first game of the Championship Group to Lechia Gdansk by 0-1 and Drawn last game to Pogon Szczecin by 0-0. Only one shot attempted on goal in the last game. Last two head to head matches between these two won by home teams but I think this game will end in a draw .
Santander has 29 points. Their league survival hope is gone. Tenerife will have a good chance of winning today because it is fighting for survival, it has 40 points, which is 3 more than the survival zone, and I think the guest will have the strength to reach the 3 points today. The home team is nailed to the bottom of the table while the guests are in a good situation, and by winning this match, they would practically ensure their survival. They will hardly have a better chance than that. However, they miss some important players today and Tenerife are not a bad team, but have had trouble finding the net in the previous rounds.
We matched them in the physical side of things because we had our own players who were physical and that was probably why we were such big rivals. We weren't unalike in the way we played. In his autobiography, Leeds midfielder Johnny Giles attests to “a special sort of animosity” between the teams. I had that bit of ‘previous’ with Eddie McCreadie,” adds Giles. John Hollins, who would usually mark me, could do a bit.
The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 1970 and had to wait half a century for their second triumph. A third may well happen just a year after the last one. You have to go back to the Super Bowl played in 2005 for the last time a team won a second successive Super Bowl. It was the New England Patriots who achieved that feat and the Chiefs have a good chance here.

Chelsea regained the lead in style three minutes into the second half when Abraham chested a cross by Willian invitingly for fellow academy graduate Mason Mount to volley home. Abraham, 22, missed Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at home by West Ham United after he was injured in a Champions League match against Valencia a few days earlier.
The latest side to make the trip to Damson Park is a Notts County side who will be hoping for a strong performance to put an end to a disastrous 2019. The visitors lost their spot in the Football League for the first time in their history this year and have so far struggled to adapt to life in non-league football. However, they are far from out of the running and they know that if they are able to have a strong second half to the season, then they may be able to make their stay in the National League a brief one.
Zaha agent trying to force Spurs move Wilfried Zaha has switched agent, and Pinar Zahavi is now trying to arrange a deal for a move to Tottenham. Crystal Palace have to consider any serious offers, and would be prepared to meet a 27-year-old asking price. Jose Mourinho needs someone to help pick up the slack following the injury to Harry Kane, but it appears that he can't meet the asking price.
Meanwhile, Chivas Guadalajara are another side looking to push for a play-off spot during the Clausura, having fell 2 points short in the Apertura phase. On paper, the visitors are a talented outfit that certainly have the potential to push for a top 8 finish and having kicked off the closing phase with a 2-0 win over Juarez last weekend, confidence is high coming into the game.
Medvedev is only 23 and he could be the player that breaks the strangehold that the 30+ aged players have on the mens's singles game. He won four of his five games in the recent ATP Cup including wins over three players ranked in the top 20 and his only loss was to Novak Djokovic in three sets. To reach the last sixteen in this tournament, Medvedev has only dropped one set, that was in his first round win over Frances Tiafoe.
