Giroud is obviously not as mobile or pacy - he really relies on balls into the box - but the Frenchman is still very effective if you use him in the right way. He was Chelsea's man of the match in their win over Spurs last week, when he led the line so well and took his goal nicely. So, I don't think it's a disaster from Chelsea's point of view if they have to rely on him up front - in any case, they have bigger issues than that.
A fourth was scored through Mbappe when the young Frenchman was released clean through on goal, sweeping a finish past Fernando Muslera, before he was felled in the box and substitute Edinson Cavani rolled a penalty kick into the back of the net, capping the scoring at 5-0 and drawing a line in the sand for the French side in this season’s Champions League.
I wanted him to show if he wanted to do it and do it physically. I'm so happy with him. He is scoring important goals and as a captain he is giving a great example to everyone else with the way he is working defensively. Aubameyang's current contract runs until the summer of 2021. He has been linked with a transfer to Barcelona, who reportedly tried to sign him in January. They are completely right to want him because he is a superb player," continued Arteta.
I do not really pick out a draw in a game but this game has very good chances to be ending this way as the hosts have 3 draws in a row at home at this moment and 4 draws in a row in the league at this moment two of them with 1-1 and two with just 0-0 in the end and since the guests are quite tight in defense as well I do not really see a high scoring game in this one and I predict either a 1-1 or 0-0 draw in this one to happen as odds are quite decent on the draw bet.
Interesting odds to bet on an away win here: Sassuolo has been slightly better than Sampdoria so far, having collected 3 points more than them: moreover, Sampdoria comes from one of the most disappointing performances of its season, having just lost by 5-1 vs Lazio with 4 goals conceded in the first half. Sassuolo has just stopped a 3-game losing streak beating torino at home and should have an high confidence, while Sampdoria should suffer after their game vs Lazio. In the first leg, Sassuolo has won by 4-1, so another win is not unlikely despite playing away: Sassuolo can win.
The visitors have fallen to 23rd in the table after failing to win a game since mid-October. When you compare that record to Blackburn – six victories since the start of November – it’s hard to make much of a case for the visitors. They are on the longest winless run of any Championship side, which could be extended here.

With 10 points from four games, Group L leaders United are assured of a place in the last-32 and Solskjaer said it was "common sense" to rest most of their senior players while a number of youngsters expected to make their senior debut. We have done great to qualify after four games and it gives us an opportunity to give game time to experienced lads who need it," Solskjaer told reporters ahead of Thursday's encounter.
The lively Moussa Djenepo poked in a cross from the left flank with the outside of his right foot and Long bundled it in at near post with his thigh past Villa goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Reina denied Southampton a bigger lead as he kept out efforts by Danny Ings and Djenepo in the first half before he parried a ferocious Pierre Hojbjerg volley on the hour mark.
It is not a case of 'must do better', more 'can they do any better?'Their win over Manchester City at Etihad Stadium was one of their best results of the first half of the season, and they also showed last week against Norwich that they have the resolve to win games when things initially do not go well for them. I am sure Wolves will again look to use the pace of Adama Traore, who scored twice against City in October, but I don't see a repeat result.
He often changes tactics game by game and so needs players who can take on instructions quickly and who are able to fit into numerous formations. A small - but important - demand Nuno places on his players is that they must wear shinpads at training. This is not the norm in the professional game, but Nuno sees it as essential so that training is hard and intense and ensures everyone is fully prepared for games.

Going to the match, Rennes have registered 33 points while Marseille have 38 points. Rennes have managed three wins in their last five matches, and four clean sheets. They have one loss and six wins in their last eight matches. In their last 15 matches, Rennes have lost six, while they have scored in 12 of those.
Real Sociedad in great shape! They have won 8 of their last 9 games, while winning confidently, scoring many goals. Their line-up this season turned out to be strong thanks to the arrival of Edgar. But Barca, after losing to her principal rival in El Clasico, will be required to show strong football with a large number of goals scored in her field. At home, as you know, Barca is especially good and scores a lot. For Edgar as a player of Real Madrid, it is now very important to score in Barcelona and make a contribution while on loan, in a possible championship of Real Madrid. And Sociedad himself with such a series of victories will not agree to a draw, he will try to win. The game will turn out very spectacular with goals, I advise you to watch!
This is going to be one very tough match for sure. I expect this to be one of those matches where one goal can decide everything. Both of the teams have done well at the regular part and now they brought their good performances and here. Artsakh Noah are currently sitting at 5th position with 36 points while Lori ar at the 4th position with same amount of points while the 2nd placed Shirak have only 3 more points and 3rd placed team of Alashkert only 1 more so there is no doubt that this match could be crucial when it comes to which of this two teams will have better chances for that 3 spot. Under all of this circumstances I don't think that we are going to see very interesting match. Both teams are playing mostly draws lately, as same as and their last match that finished 2-2.

The away team have seen 4 single goal matches in their past 5 matches so scoring for them has been hard and scoring for teams against them have been hard also. It is a match where the chances for scoring will be limited and could once again becoming another low scoring match. When they play none of the matches of their seem to have a lot of chances to see goals being scared of huge amounts of them. They drop the players back and defend well and seem to always be out played up the front of the ground as well.
He added: "But now I need to be calm for a few days and see what happens. Pochettino led Spurs to four successive top-four finishes and last season's Champions League final, which they lost to Liverpool. But Tottenham struggled for consistency under him this term and were 14th in the table when he was dismissed. He has returned to his native Argentina following his exit from the London club and has been linked with Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

Overall, Chilwell has not done too badly this season and that's why other clubs are still interested. Last season was good for him and he made his England debut in the friendly win over Switzerland at the King Power Stadium. It is massive when you become a senior international. It definitely adds pressure. We saw it with Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli as well. When you first come on the scene, you are young, exciting and nobody knows much about you.
Viitorul did not place in the group for the title and Europe, in this season, and that was one of the biggest drop of the squad, since they have been promoted to the top league. It is big question, if team would have motivation to play in the relegation group, since they have already enough points and should not be in danger.
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. Guardiola said it was "unrealistic" for his team to retain their league title from their current position, but added that they would not stop chasing unbeaten Liverpool.
It's been a disastrous campaign for Besiktas, with the Turkish side losing all four of their matches and conceding 10 goals along the way. They've been able to score an average of a goal a game but conceding at the rate they have been has led to the side being eliminated from the competition with two games to spare.
Nantes' recent league form has been strong and the side have every reason to be confident prior to kick off in this one. Indeed, they've won 3 of their last 4 league outings, including each of the last two and having also won 6 of their last 8 Ligue 1 home matches, their prospects look fairly bright as regards securing 3 points this weekend.
With Juergen Klopp opting to rest his senior squad for the replay during the Premier League's winter break, Milner, 34, took it upon himself to get heavily involved in the young side's buildup to the clash at Anfield, which Liverpool won 1-0. He trained with us yesterday and he asked whether he could come along.
When they come to fruition I will know more. In response to BBC Panorama, Dr Chakraverty said: "The evidence I provided to the DCMS Select Committee Inquiry in April 2017 was a detailed and honest account. Following appropriate discussions and checks on the L-carnitine supplement, including around safety and the Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) dosage rules, 2.
What about Liverpool's title celebration? Police estimated that more than 750,000 fans lined the streets of Liverpool when the club paraded the Champions League trophy in 2019When Manchester United ended their 26-year wait for a league title in 1993, they did so as a consequence of Aston Villa failing to beat Oldham Athletic. Thousands descended on Old Trafford to celebrate after the final whistle had sounded.
This defeat means they are now without a win in front of their own fans since their impressive 2-1 victory against champions Manchester City on 26 September. Despite that worrying run, there were positives to take from this performance as they dominated a surprisingly subdued Wolves side for well over an hour. This display, coupled with the one in their 1-1 draw with second-placed Leicester last weekend, should give concerned home fans some comfort, but having let slip a lead for a second game in a row, Daniel Farke's side need to start improving their ability to close out matches.
Montpellier will be looking to pile on the pressure here as they face an Amiens side desperate not to make it three defeats in a row. However, at the expense of the Unicorns we're backing the hosts to get the win here. Montpellier would've won their clash with Saint-Étienne last week if it hadn’t been for poor finishing and we expect them to bounce back here with a win to continue their excellent home form. Amiens have scored in each of their last five away games though so we're expecting this to end 2-1 to the hosts.We’re also backing Montpellier to score over 1.5 goals in this match as thehome side have netted eighttimes in their last four matches while Amiens have conceded eleven in their last five.

Just when defeat looked inevitable, Burnley rescued a point on Wednesday through Chris Wood's penalty in the last-minute of injury-time against Wolves at Turf Moor. The result means they are unbeaten at home since New Year's Day and consolidates their position in the top-half of the table - a successful season given the size of the clubs they are competing against. But with two games of the campaign remaining, the big question around Burnley centres on whether they will be the last two matches Sean Dyche spends in the manager's dugout.
Erling Braut Haaland scored for Borussia Dortmund as they marked the return of the Bundesliga during the coronavirus outbreak with a convincing derby win over Schalke. The game will mostly be remembered for the surreal circumstances in which it was played, as Germany became the first major league in Europe to resume action behind closed doors. There was an eerie atmosphere at Dortmund's iconic Signal Iduna Park stadium, with every shout by players or coaches audible, and social distancing protocol followed by substitutes and during goal celebrations.

Villa were forced to endure some nervous moments, particularly towards the end after substitute Keinan Davis wasted a glorious chance to double the lead after firing wide. Smith reacted to the final whistle by clenching his fist - Villa's fate back in their own hands when they meet West Ham on Sunday. Villa will be safe if they win (presuming Watford do not win by two more goals than they do), or draw providing the Hornets do not win.

Charlton guided his team to the last 16 at the next World Cup in the United States four years later, including a win over eventual finalists Italy in the group, before losing to the Netherlands. He was also awarded the freedom of the city of Dublin that year. He was awarded honorary Irish citizenship two years later. And it was the Netherlands who brought the curtain down on his time in charge when they beat the Republic Of Ireland 2-0 at Anfield in a play-off to reach Euro 96.
Hugo Lloris made a shock return to the Spurs starting XI having recovered from a fractured elbow quicker than expected, and he was the busier of the goalkeepers early on, Pukki and Todd Cantwell both going close. For all their good play, though, the visitors lacked that cutting edge, and in one swift move, Spurs made them pay, with Serge Aurier feeding the ball across for Alli to score his 49th Premier League goal after good work from Giovani Lo Celso to win the ball back.
Tottenham forward Son Heung-min begins a three-game ban after the club failed with an appeal against the red card he received in Sunday's defeat by Chelsea. Erik Lamela, Hugo Lloris and Ben Davies remain out. Brighton have no new injury concerns although the squad is expected to be rotated with this the first of two games in three days. Winger Jose Izquierdo is continuing his recovery from a knee injury in his native Colombia.

Only West Ham (24) have dropped more points from winning positions in the Premier League this season than Arsenal (21). Lacazette became the first Arsenal player to score home and away against Spurs in a single Premier League season since Per Mertesacker in 2012-13. Son has scored 13 goals in all competitions at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, more than any other player (Kane has 12). Son is the first Tottenham player to both score and assist in a Premier League game versus Arsenal since Emmanuel Adebayor in February 2012.
Leipzig could have returned to the top had they beaten Gladbach, but they were relieved to have a point after coming from 2-0 down. Fourth-placed Gladbach, who are three points behind Bayern, led 2-0 through goals from Alassane Plea and Jonas Hofmann. Patrick Schick pulled one back after Gladbach keeper Yann Sommer dropped a corner and the momentum swung when Plea was sent off for two bookings for dissent in a row.
Manchester City had just 37. Wolves - the lowest figure recorded by a side managed by Pep Guardiola in top-flight history. City lost a Premier League game having led by two or more goals for the first time since April 2018, when they were beaten 3-2 at home by Manchester United. Only Tottenham (eight) and West Ham (six) have lost more games in Premier League history having led by two or more goals than Manchester City (five), with two of those defeats coming under Pep Guardiola.
Sassuolo went ahead through 19-year-old Hamed Junior Traore in the 29th minute and should have added to their tally as eighth-placed Napoli gave a ragged first-half display and were jeered off by their fans. But the visitors improved dramatically after halftime. Allan equalised in the 57th minute and, after a spell of sustained pressure, Obiang turned the ball into his own goal following a corner in the fifth minute of added time to give Napoli their first league win since Oct.
