You can see everyone's pre-season top-four predictions in full, below. So, why was it so hard to choose Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea to finish in that order?Tottenham's turbulent campaign after four consecutive top-four finishes caught 22 people out, as did the rapid demise of Arsenal's revival under former boss Unai Emery after a promising first year in charge and some exciting summer signings - 13 of the 24 thought they would make it.
The club wants to be competitive in the Premier League, for me this is enough," Ancelotti told reporters. The fact the club wants to build a new stadium. That means the ambition of the club is very high. This is what attracted me. Ancelotti, who has won titles with European heavyweights such as AC Milan and Real Madrid, outlined his long-term plan to get Everton playing football that would delight the club's supporters.
Match for the Oberliga in Germany where after a balanced match the hosts will be able for me to win and so my bet is on them. The teams are Verlber SC and Velber TVD. The hosts after 16 matches have 14 points. Have less points than opponent but both are in bottom zone. Hosts did 2 wins and a only 1 defeat in the last 4 matches played and did 2 wins in the last 2 matches played at home. The guests did only 1 win in the last 5 matches played and so for me won't win here.
COMING UP Football never stops. Or at least it doesn’t seem to, whether you want it to or not. So of course there’s a full round of Premier League games this midweek, regardless of whether any of us asked for them. The big one is of course Chelsea v Arsenal, but Aston Villa v Watford should be good, Sheffield United have a decent chance of getting something from Manchester City while Bournemouth v Brighton should be grimly interesting too.
Jadon Sancho drew the hosts level in the 61st and Haaland then tapped in Dortmund's fourth in the 70th to put them ahead. Erling Haaland and Giovanni ReynaGetty Images Haaland had shot to fame earlier this season when he scored 16 league goals in Austria and eight goals in the Champions League group stages before his move to Germany.
Cardiff drew 16 of their league games. Fulham had ten away draws in the Championship. Seven of the last 13 Cardiff home league games ended level. Five of the last eight Fulham away games were drawn. Four of the last five Fulham away draws have been a 1-1 scoreline. These two sides are both trying to return to the Premier League after being relegated last season.
Inter Milan have signed defender Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid on a five-year deal. The Morocco full-back, 21, made just 17 appearances for Real and has spent the last two seasons on loan at Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. Inter have paid 40m euros (£36m) with 5m euros of add-ons for the Madrid academy graduate. In a statement Real thanked Hakimi for his service and wished him well in his "new chapter".
Former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler will not be returning to his role as boss of Australian club Brisbane Roar because of the coronavirus pandemic. Fowler, who won 26 England caps, was appointed as head coach of the A-League side on a two-year deal in April 2019. The 2019-20 season was suspended in March, with Brisbane Roar in fourth. But Fowler confirmed he and assistant Tony Grant, a former Everton midfielder, will not be in charge when the league resumes on 16 July.
And it was back to reality the morning after his heroics against United, as he sat a psychology test at Trinity Sixth Form in Manchester. It wasn't my best piece of work and my teacher was understanding of that. She let me redo it when I'd had more sleep!My education is something that I'm so passionate about.
I always have to go to that. The weeks leading up to the game I was not sleeping the same. Milan had some top players all over the squad. The game started and it went wrong after three or four minutes and at half time we were 3-0 down. That was one of the most difficult dressing rooms I have ever walked into as a captain and I was thinking 'what am I going to say?'. My own brother and dad had had enough at half time.
Both teams have scored in 10 of the last 11 Everton away league games. Everton have conceded in each of their last 14 away league fixtures. Norwich beat Everton in th reverse fixture. Norwich City are heading back to the Championship unless they can greatly improve their form. They remain bottom of the Premier League and host Everton who are in 12th but could yet qualify for the Europa League.

He could benefit from another season before being unleashed in an international tournament. The same could be said for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Unstoppable for club; underwhelming for country. Likewise, Tammy Abraham, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and, to a lesser extent, Mason Grenwood have stepped up this season.
This is the first step, but a big step, in restoring relations between fans and the club," the group added. Spurs' statement on Monday said: "With no clarity on when football might resume, and under what conditions, we shall continue to keep this under ongoing review. We are acutely aware that many supporters were against the decision we made regarding furloughing staff who could not carry out their jobs from home.
Marcus Rashford has called on the government to reverse a decision not to provide free school meal vouchers during the summer, saying that "the system isn't built for families like mine to succeed". The Manchester United and England forward has raised about £20m to supply three million meals to vulnerable people while working with charity FareShare UK during the coronavirus lockdown. Campaigners have threatened to bring legal action against the government for not extending the food voucher scheme into the summer holidays.
The club said they would make the hotel available for a two-month period and then reconsider depending on the prevailing situation in May. The Premier League has been suspended until April 4 due to the coronavirus pandemic which has led to an unprecedented shutdown of world sport. Globally, the coronavirus has infected more than 198,300 people and more than 8,400 have died.
Without a doubt, the hosts’ main area of weakness is at the back. Their defeat to Aston Villa on Boxing Day leaves them with the worst defensive record in the top flight, with their 38 goals conceded even putting them behind a Southampton side that lost 9-0 against Leicester earlier this season.
The home team Porto will be meeting with the away team Maritimo and this game we have given this two teams an under of 4.5 total goals as looking at the last games this two teams have meet together they are not used of scoring many goals

And finally after a while the best league in the world is back and that is going to be my first pick at this site... Tottenham are in very poor shape. They don't have a won at the last 6 games in which at even 5 they lost. Their performances are very very poor and it looks like there is no real chemistry between the players, but that was expected for me as I never liked Jose's tactics even though he is the best.
That was the right decision at the time. They have apologised. They're back in training and fit for selection. They've admitted they're wrong. They've settled back into it, they know they've made a mistake and want to make up for it. The next chance is against Chelsea. If they play their part then all well and good. The Hornets are one point above the relegation zone in 17th place with six matches remaining.
When and Nurnberg will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. When this season have the following results: 8W, 7D and 16L. Meanwhile Nurnberg have 7W, 12D and 12L.

Ex-Republic of Ireland stars have passed on birthday wishes to their former international boss Jack Charlton after he turned 85. Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge described Charlton as "the best manager I ever played for by far". I love you to death pal. I really do. We had some great times together," said Aldridge in a video tweet put out by the Football Association of Ireland. Andy Townsend was among other Republic greats passing on birthday wishes.
The points are surely in the bag for Real Madrid. Benzema picked up the ball, played the pass for Valverde who played the return ball and the French striker fires first-time into the back of the Espanyol net. SENT OFF!

So, while it is important for Liverpool to get back on the bike on Saturday before they face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, this is certainly no crisis. They had a bad day at Vicarage Road but they are not getting complacent. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool highlights Yes, they have a huge lead at the top, but the title is not mathematically theirs yet and right now they will just want to get the job done.
It has not been a very rosy run for Arrows in their recent matches; they took an early lead against Highlands Park in their last match but could not hold on for a win, and ended up drawing 1-1. Before that, they needed a very late goal to beat bottom side, AmaZulu 2-1, after being eliminated from the Cup by VUT Students.

Slavia Prague have so far managed just to points from the opening four matches and are bottom, while Inter, with four points are third in the group. Slavia Prague still have the chance to advance to the second round, but a loss in this game will mean they can’t even get to the Europa League. Meanwhile, for Inter, a win could see them rise to second at Borussia Dortmund’s expense, should the Germans lose to Barcelona.
The festive-period figure of 74 over 13 days also accounts for injuries requiring less than 10 days of recovery. Newcastle were in a league of their own in clocking up nine injuries over Christmas and managed to lose five players in a single defeat by Leicester on Boxing Day. Manager Steve Bruce now has just one of his six central defenders available for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Rochdale.
Cukaricki had some mixed results lately. They have won 2 drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches. They will be confident coming into this as they have won their previous match against Rad Beograd. They are one of the strongest home teams. They have won 8 of their last 9 home matches and remained undefeated in home this season. TSC Backa Topola also hold a good away record as they have managed 14 points from their 9 away matches. They also remained undefeated in 4 matches. But I don't think they can stand against the hosts here.
A 2-0 win for the hosts appeals in the 'Correct Score' market. Cluj notched twice when beating Lazio at home, while they created enough chances to score more than once against Rennes at this venue too. They've defended well, restricting teams to few chances, so are backed to keep out the visitors, who will almost definitely not be at full strength.

Bobby works with West Ham as an education and charity ambassador. He is a keen footballer too, and played against former Hammers striker Jermain Defoe at primary school level - "he scored five in the first half with me as a hapless defender and their teacher subbed him off at half-time as an act of mercy"Seagull, who grew up in East Ham, is best known for his stint on University Challenge as captain of the Emmanuel College Cambridge team, who lost to Eric Monkman in the 2016-17 semi-final.
The Hammers were very competitive and combative against Liverpool on Monday night, and looked better defensively - apart from Lukasz Fabianski's mistakes. I know David Moyes' side scored twice, so it might sound a bit silly, but I just felt they did not create enough chances considering how well they played. They were at Anfield and playing against the runaway leaders, though, so no-one was expecting them to get anything.
None of this is on Ljungberg, who has taken temporary charge while Arsenal presumably try and find an available manager in world football who knows how to organise a defence. And he remains optimistic, in public at least, that he can help Arsenal get back in the Champions League this season. Like you see, teams drop points here and there, they drop points, we drop points, Spurs, it’s a bit of a crazy league and of course I hope and think that Arsenal can get back to the top four.
Schalke are set to host Union Berlin this Friday evening at the Veltins-Arena in the German Bundesliga. This contest will see two of the Bundesliga's in-form sides at present go head to head in an exciting clash. Both teams will hope to take a positive result from this Friday's game.

Sevilla's 2-0 midweek win against Qarabag at Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan was their fifth consecutive triumph in the Group Phase and they can now put that competition to one side until the knockout stages begin in February.
It's the environment he's in and it has caught hold of him. Spurs have lost their last four matches in all competitions and are in danger of missing out on Champions League qualification after reaching the final last season. The FA is looking into the incident and has asked the club and the player for their observations.
Klopp will fly to Qatar with a senior 23-man squad on Sunday morning.

Players like Chris Basham, John Lundstram and John Fleck, all of whom have now made my team of the week at some stage, are clearly the reasons why. Apart from the fact the Blades are very difficult to beat and wear you down, like any decent puncher they can deliver a knockout blow. Their approach is proving to be simple but very effective. They are making the Premier League look ordinary. Did you know? Fleck has scored four goals in his last four league games at Bramall Lane, one more than he managed in his previous 73 in the league on home soil.
