Muscle memory kicks in but there is no question the absence of a crowd and the flow of adrenaline that provides may take some getting used to, so there may well be something of a transitional period. Welcome back technology Members of the press remain socially distanced while wearing face masks to report from Villa ParkThose who have missed Premier League football so much during its 100-day hiatus may even have been tempted to greet the return of the video assistant referee (VAR) and goalline technology as old friends rather than the unwanted distraction that made them a target for such criticism before the campaign was halted.
The paper reports that they want to sign Ben White from Leeds United in the winter transfer window. The 22-year-old is on loan from Brighton, and an offer of £25 million might be enough to secure any deal, with the player happy to make the move to London. Paper Round’s view: Chelsea need defensive reinforcements and White would be a handy addition.
It's a game which is likely to be full of chances, as combined these two have conceded over 30 shots per game this season. That should help an adventurous Genoa side. Meanwhile, SPAL’s scoring streak suggests we can rely on them for a goal here. As a result, we are backing both teams to score when these two meet on Monday.
David Silva will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season but I sense not before he adds yet more silverware to his cabinet, as he still has an FA Cup semi-final to contemplate and the possibility of lifting the Champions League trophy. He strolled around Etihad Stadium against a tormented Newcastle like an emperor. With more than 300 Premier League games, 59 league goals and 11 domestic trophies under his belt with City, he can do whatever he wants.
With the Eagles' recent leaky defensive figures telling, we think the Burnley over 1.5 total goals market is well worth considering at the prices quoted, while our correct score prediction forecasts a 2-1 home win.
Wright: "When he was younger, Ederson played left-back, you could easily see him playing left centre-half now with the way he pings the ball about. He has great footballing ability.

Calvert-Lewin had shown flashes of quality in the past, but since the arrival of Ancelotti on Merseyside, he has really blossomed into a consistently classy striker. The youngster looks hungrier than ever and he certainly deserves a new deal at the Premier League side. Everton look like they're ready to make amends for a disappointing start to the season, and with a couple of new signings this summer, they could really follow in Leicester City's footsteps and break into the top six next term.

Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson has 'no objection' to Anfield gamesDefeat by Watford just before the league was suspended means Liverpool cannot match Arsenal's 2003-04 record of winning the league unbeaten. But Jurgen Klopp's side can comfortably surpass Manchester City's record points tally of 100 from 2017-18. The Reds can reach 109 if they win all their remaining games. Their league record is phenomenal," McManaman said.
CHELSEA's RUDIGER BLASTS RACIST ABUSE Chelsea's Antonio Rudiger said he faced racist abuse during his club's 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, triggering a flood of messages of support and calls for action against racism in the English game. Tottenham vowed to take the "strongest possible action" if any fan is identified as having made racist gestures.
I am here to try to do this. Everton currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, but Ancelotti believes he has a team capable of climbing the table. Our goal is to be competitive in the Premier League, to be towards the top of the table, to be competitive in Europe,” he added. It’s not going to happen straight away, but we have to work for this.

Therefore the Premier League and Stamford Bridge might present an attractive option for Donnarumma.
Barcelona will hope not to follow in the footsteps of the Spanish giants they share their name with. They lost a big lead to Liverpool last season in the Champions League but it's looking unlikely that will happen for this Ecuadorian side. They dominated the first leg of this Copa Libertadores tie against a side that often struggles on its travels. This won't be so easy for Barcelona and they could well make a few changes to their line-up with such a big lead in hand. A bet on over 2.5 goals is the safest one to make.
As a football club, we have a responsibility to deliver the right message. Safety is the highest priority. Closing the doors to a match is difficult for many reasons but in the end, in order to continue with the calendar and continue with normal activities, we have to take these decisions. Inter staff at the Ludogorets game say it was a weird experience because all the players' shouts could clearly be heard.
It currently does not have a date after it was postponed from April 18. There's no date for the Copa del Rey final. We're looking at May 30 but we can't seal anything. We want a final with fans, it would only be behind closed doors for legal reasons," he said. We aren't ruling out the Copa final not being played this season.
Registering easily their best result of the campaign so far, Celestes cut the gap to safety to just two points following Mallorca's 2-1 defeat at Levante, and they can move out of the relegation zone this Friday with another win. With that incentive set to drive the hosts on and their opponents reeling after a third defeat in four last Sunday, we fancy Celta to come out best in this clash via a 2-1 scoreline.
stabaek started with two draws and on the other side Sandefjord started with a draw and a defeat, stabaek is slight favorite for the win but that is mainly because they are playing at home where this season I think they will have better results than on the road but I don't think they could win,Sandefjord seems like a better team at the moment and I m not going to be surprised if visitors get the win tonight but the odd on them is pretty high so I decided not to risk that much and I will stick with double chance on Sandefjord!
He has scored 131 goals in 322 club games to date and, more recently, Ighalo struck 10 times in 19 games for Shanghai Shenhua this season before United came calling. The inevitable question now is, can he produce the goods at Old Trafford?Ighalo is expected to arrive in the UK from China in the next few days and will therefore not be ready for United's game against Wolves on Saturday (17:309 GMT). But with a 16-day winter break until their next game, Ighalo could be involved against in a key game in the race for the top four against Chelsea on 17 January.
Hull are inside the top half, but they need to get a big response when they step across the white line on Saturday. Last weekend’s 3-1 loss to bottom side Barnsley was a major setback for the Tigers, leaving them in need of points on Saturday. That defeat will remind the hosts that there are no easy games at this level, but a home meeting with second-bottom Stoke is certainly an opportunity.
The New Saints and Cefn Druids will face to face after the Boxing Day matchday again. The home team is the best team in Welsh, they reached a big margin victories although they have got a small advantage. The away team is 6th at the moment.
If you want to avoid having to answer difficult questions from journalists, why not just exclude them from the whole question-and-answer process - cut out the middle man. Transfer board gamesView more on twitterManchester United signed Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo at the last minute, but gave up their pursuit of 28-year old Bournemouth striker Josh King, which is a shame, if only because it means the above won't come to pass.
Paper Round's view: Sancho needs to take things one step at a time. He needs to remember that Borussia Dortmund are the club that put their faith in him and he has to respect that while he's still there. The English forward was given a new contract and wage rise earlier this season, which has driven up his value for when the German club wish to sell - but the rumoured transfer agreement was supposed to be next summer.

Dele Alli says Tottenham "deserve a trophy" as they seek to end their 12-year wait for silverware. Spurs, who scored two late goals to beat Southampton 3-2 on Wednesday to reach the FA Cup fifth round, have won nothing since they lifted the League Cup in 2008. For the fans, we have to win something," said the 23-year-old. We deserve a trophy, it's been a long time coming, but no-one's going to give it to us and we have to keep pushing.
The margins are fine as the league is so tight. But these challenges inspire me. We need to give the crowd a cause to get into the match. Hopefully our recent results will galvanise the club and bring everyone together. Howe, who was already without defender Steve Cook (wrist) and striker Joshua King (hamstring) for the Liverpool match, said right back Adam Smith would also be unavailable due to an ankle problem.

Read the full story Mount set to be disciplined after leaving self-isolation for kickabout The Daily Mirror claims that Chelsea are furious at Mason Mount after he left coronavirus self-isolation for a park kickabout with childhood friend and West Ham star Declan Rice. The England international was supposed to be in self-isolation after his team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi was diagnosed with the disease and is set to receive a fine for the friendly game as well as a dressing down from the club's hierarchy Paper Round’s view: This is the height of irresponsibility from Mason Mount if true.
Shakhtyor Reserves is going to face Slutsk Reserves. The hosts won the first clash in this season against Slamichev 4:0 on away and it was a great game. I think that the hosts will start winning games like that and if they will keep this form they should easily win this match against Slutsk. The visitors conceded nine goals in only four matches. The last away match was against Isloch and they lost 0:4. The hosts should win this match by more than one goal. I think that we can see here at least 2:0 for the hosts. Slutsk is an average team
Not to be outdone, goalscorer Martial became just the second United player to score in three successive Manchester derby starts in the Premier League. The 24-year-old is the first to achieve that since Eric Cantona's five in a row between 1993 and 1996, while he also succeeds Cristiano Ronaldo (2006-07) as the most recent United player to score home and away against City in a Premier League season.
Substitute keeper Adrian saved his side by keeping out Mooy as mid-table Brighton piled forward in search of an equaliser. The Reds had looked like coasting to victory after Van Dijk's double, and Brighton keeper Mat Ryan made three fine saves to frustrate Roberto Firmino, twice, and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool head into a demanding December, a month which will see the club play nine fixtures in four different competitions, with a fifth successive league win - but this was far too close for comfort.
Defensive strength is something which is not exactly foreign to the Grecians as, whilst they do not rely on it nearly as much as their hosts, they have kept their opposition at bay in 33% of their matches on the road this season, a vital stat given that they have scored an average of just 1.17 goals per game away from home in the league this season.

Manchester City's biggest result of the season will be revealed on Monday, with the club's Champions League place - and reputation - at risk. At 09:30 BST, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) will announce its verdict from the three-day appeal hearing that took place in June into the "serious breaches" of Uefa's financial regulations City were found guilty of in February. The best-case scenario for City is that they will be cleared of all charges and their two-year European ban will be overturned.
They scored a good goal to pull one back in the second half but the final score was not a true reflection of what the game was about. The celebrations that carried on and on City manager Joe Mercer shows off the Cup Winners’ Cup trophy at the the team’s official reception the next day at Manchester town hallThis was a night to remember for City's players, but maybe not for their partners. The thing that stands out in my mind is that there was a Uefa banquet afterwards for the team and the officials, and the players' wives were all there too," Davies added.
The financial reality that affects clubs like Getafe on a regular basis is summed up by Leandro Cabrera leaving in January for bottom of the table Espanyol, who asked the Uruguayan defender what he was earning and, at a stroke, doubled it. Bordalas is learning English and, when asked if he can picture himself working in the Premier League in future, replies without hesititation: "Yes. It's something I have always had in mind and, as a professional, I would love it.
A grown man should not go on the floor for that push but he wanted the maximum amount of punishment to be given to Di Canio. Come on man. I was at West Ham with him and he would get away with murder. If any decisions went against him in training, he would just walk off. He would be speaking in Italian and his arms would be waving all over the place. He was so intent on winning even the five-a-side games.

A game from Poland where Bytovia Bytow face Elblag. Bytovia recently had 3 wins 1 draw and 1 defeat from 5 games and improved to the playoffs. Elblag has unbeaten in 6 games with 3 wins and 3 draws and improved to 4; they are in a place with 4 points more than the hosts. Elblag won 2-1 in the first stage, and here I think will end with a draw. An almost certain playoff game while the home team is on the playoff edge and they need points here. There is no doubt that they will want all 3 because it is the only way to keep the place that leads to the playoffs, so I think with two even teams playing here. draw is anticipated.
