A fine mid-season run showed signs of encouragement at Chelsea, which should have seen Frank Lampard reach Europe's top competition during his first season in charge. That autumn burst faded as winter arrived and they have since shown severe problems winning matches at home and putting teams to bed. Video - Diego Simeone ready to tempt Chelsea star to Atletico – Euro Papers01:29 They still remain in pole position to finish fourth, behind Liverpool, Man City and Leicester, who were fired by some excellent form before Christmas that may well prove to be enough despite a lengthy lull since the turn of the year.
Indeed, following a 4-1 cup defeat to Lyon in midweek, Toulouse have now lost a staggering 8 matches in a row and are completely shot of confidence. Having conceded a huge average of 2.33 goals a game over said fixtures, it's not hard to see why they are struggling and their leaky defence leaves you fearing for them going into Saturday's fixture.

No Premier League goalkeeper has more clean sheets than Burnley's Nick Pope this season (9, level with Alisson and Dean Henderson). Arsenal are the first team in Premier League history to draw as many as 13 of their first 25 league matches in a season, and the first in the top flight since Manchester United in the 1980/81 campaign. Arsenal have drawn four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since February 2009 (five in a row).

Approximate odds: 66-1Dusan Tadic Club: Ajax Nation: SerbiaAge: 31 Honours 2019: Eredivisie, KNVB Cup, Johan Cruyff ShieldWhoever decided to let Tadic leave Southampton for just over £10m in the summer of 2018 is probably still looking for work - the number 10 has been exceptional for Ajax since, starring in their run to the last four of the Champions League. He scored six times and provided five assists.
Reading have not been getting many positive results of late. However, despite Cardiff being unbeaten in seven matches, they have no fear of the Bluebirds. Striker Yakou Meite clearly enjoys playing against them. With his habit of finding the back of the net in this fixture in mind, we suggest backing Reading draw no bet.
But once Bale broke that drought, he did not look back. A series of electrifying attacking displays saw him move up to the left wing, where he tormented defenders across Europe. Brazil right-back Maicon was his most notable victim, as Bale scored three goals and provided two assists during Spurs' two matches against Inter; confirmation of the Welshman's arrival at the top level. Once the legendary Luis Figo hailed Bale's performances as "amazing", it was no surprise when the Portuguese's former club, Real Madrid, showed an interest.
The centre-back has a groin problem while midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White (back) and defender Willy Boly (fractured leg) also remain out. The game sees Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo return to his native Portugal. Wolves trail Group K leaders Braga by a point and a draw would take both into the round of 32 with a game to spare. The build-up saw Nuno identified as a potential replacement for Arsenal boss Unai Emery.
Going to the game, hosts Schalke have managed 36 points and are in sixth place while Leipzig are second with 45 points. Schalke march to this game unbeaten in their last four matches but have won just one of those. The last time they face a side above them in the standings, they were whacked 5-0, by Bayern Munich, and they will be hoping to avoid another embarrassing outcome.
For Lynn these are not just words to live by but also a connection to Sarah, her girlfriend who died suddenly in 2008, just a year after the pair met. Lynn remembers in vivid detail the night of 28 July that year. The night she last spoke to the "love of her life" who was taken from her, friends and family at just 22. A weekend trip from university in Indiana, America, to her parents' home near Toronto, Canada, escalated into a nightmare.

Hawk-Eye - the operator of the goalline technology - subsequently apologised but said the system "remained functional throughout". The company added it was the first time such an error had occurred in more than 9,000 matches using the system. However, speaking to BBC Sport, Clattenburg, said it showed technology "can fail at any time".

I think the fact the Gunners are 10 points off fourth and a Champions League spot takes the pressure off them. It would be just like Arsenal to go on a run that puts them back in contention for that. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Katie's prediction: 2-0MONDAY Chelsea v Man Utd (20:00 GMT)I am not expecting to see any massive difference in the way Manchester United line up, or the way they play. Yes, Bruno Fernandes has had a bit more time to settle in but I don't think their other major January signing, Odion Ighalo, will start.

When Lyon played against Strasbourg earlier this season away from home the game did have exactly 3 goals scored in it and both teams scoring also happened as back than it was Lyon who won the game with 2-1 in the end but as for this fixture goes I am not so sure they will win it as Strasbourg lately even won away from home at Monaco with 3-1 in the league as well, and Monaco is pretty solid in defense at this moment.
I see at least two goals in this match who will be played tonight in Spain Second league and I will try that option. So, Almeria is team who is this season playing much better than it was the case in last few seasons, when they are fight for survival. This one, they are playing great and they are one of the favorites for promotion in Primera. In last six matches, this team is played with even four or more goals, so for me, that is good reason to try with goals and this time. It is very very real.

Home form has seen Hoffenheim rather inconsistent this season. Three home league games have been won but four lost. Hoffenheim come into this game having no wins in their last three home league games and having conceded ten goals in those matches.

Given that this is a clash of the two best defences in the division, it should come as no surprise to learn that we expect this to be a low scoring game. Ipswich have failed to score in two of their last four home league matches and have failed to score in 29% of their home league matches overall. Meanwhile, Wycombe have kept a clean sheet in 62% of their away matches and have only conceded four times on the road overall. With this in mind, we are backing a 1-0 away win.
Groningen have drawn two of their last four matches and Emmen have drawn two of their last four matches, so both teams have played out their fair share of stalemates in recent weeks. The hosts have only lost three times at home this season and Emmen are yet to win on the road, which is why we can’t see the visitors claiming all three points on Sunday.
That's an odd reason to say I'm not happy or satisfied - I want to stay. After winning back-to-back titles and smashing goals and points records along the way last year, Guardiola insists he is liking the "challenge" of this season. City broke the Premier League points record in 2017-18 when they became the first club in English top-flight history to reach 100 for the season. It took another 98 to edge out Liverpool last term.
On this occasion it was Blackburn team-mates David Batty and Graeme Le Saux that came to blows. The incident in question was in Rovers' Champions League game against Spartak Moscow and was the culmination of weeks of simmering tensions between several team-mates, as the unity that had helped them win the Premier League title just a few months earlier appeared to be dissolving. The moment that led to this on-pitch scuffle was, according to Le Saux's autobiography, when he nutmegged Batty during training.

Juventus are unbeaten in their last 11 games against AC Milan. Hopefully this Italian Cup semi-final second leg tie between Juventus and AC Milan will take place after the weekend postponements. Juventus have a big hole in their trophy cabinet because last season they failed to win the Italian Cup.

Tomorrow (Sunday) is a day off, we're training on the 23rd and 24th. The night of the 24th is off, the morning of the 25th off. Then 26th training and then 27th is Nuno's team.

It is going to be difficult to pick something up quickly, because it is going to be some time before the oil industry is back to its full capacity again.

At the moment it is OK, but the coming months could be telling.
