Of course in a perfect world they would have won the Premier League title on their own pitch in front of 50,000 fans, but we aren't living in a perfect world right now because of the coronavirus pandemic. There will be more big moments to come, and some of them will be weird - the trophy lift at an empty Anfield after the final home game of the season against Chelsea on 18 July for example. But there will be a victory parade through Liverpool at some point and from my experience that is when the whole city comes together anyway, even more so than when you win it at your ground.

Fulham have won four of their last five league games. Millwall have lost three of their last four matches. Fulham have kept three straight away clean sheets in the Championship. Fulham could climb into the top two of the Championship if winning away at Millwall. The away side are third in the table, only out of the top two on goal difference, while Millwall are down in 10th.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says moving the Africa Cup of Nations back to January "is, for us, a catastrophe. The 2021 tournament has been moved from the summer because of "unfavourable" weather in host country Cameroon. And the Reds face losing Senegal forward Sadio Mane, Egypt winger Mohamed Salah and Guinea midfielder Naby Keita for a month in mid-season. If we have to make a decision about bringing in a player, it is a massive one," said the Anfield boss.
Morecambe will host Plymouth Argyle for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors are favorites in this match. Plymouth are more ambitious team in this season. Plymouth are currently on the 3rd place with 68 points. They probably want to stay in the race for higher range. Also, they have two consecutive victories. On the other hand Morecambe is one of the main outsiders in the league. They are currently on the 22th place with 32 points. Also, they are not convincing team lately. In previous game Morecambe lost 1-0 against Newport. I think, the visitors will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium.
The Norwegian is hoping to get at least one signing "over the line" in the January transfer window following injuries to Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay.

Joey Barton's men come into this fixture having conceded at least once in each of their last five League 1 games, shipping two or more in three of those. They've also conceded a worrying amount on the road. A total of 16 goals scored in nine away games is pleasing, though such a figure pales into insignificance somewhat when they've conceded a total of 18.
However, the Edinburgh club still has a lot of problems to deal with, namely in defence where they've only kept a clean sheet on one occasion on the opening day of the campaign. Hibs face the same difficulty away from home, conceding an average of 2.33 goals but also managing to net 1.17 times on their travels. Moreover, the Hibees have won away at bottom-placed St Johnstone and have recently drawn with Hamilton.
This is another match from Germany Bundesliga where I will try with goals today and that is really very good option for me. Here I can also said that home team, who is in this moment in the middle of the table is stronger and better team, so I believe that they will win in this duel, but with plenty of goals. Paderborn, on the other side, is team who is fighting for survival in this league and their main problem is weak defense. I see here, as I said before, pretty easy home win and at least four goals.

I think that we will see a lot of goals in this match from Portuguese Cup and I will try this option, surely. So, home team is problematic this season and their defense is the biggest problem. In last round in Portugal league, they are lost even 7-0, so I believe that they will have new problems and here, that is clear. Benfica, on the other side, is team who is favorite and team who is lost in last derby match in league, against Porto at Dragao stadium, 3-2. They will be probably motivated to win this duel, so I will try.

Fulham have not tasted victory for three matches now, a 1-1 draw at Derby being the latest result to prolong their winless streak. With the race for promotion being so competitive, they cannot afford to continue dropping points.

All hail the King. Denis Law, always in the conversation when talk turns to the greatest Scottish player of all time, is 80 today.

Start of the new season, and there should be one close fight between rivals of the mid of the table. They often had under 2.5 goals per their matches in the previous seasons, and now should be able to make the same one, since teams were not playing for long time. After the virus break, it would be hard to get fast into the playing form, especially for the offensives players.
He’s not the same player that once charged into the channels and ruffled up defenders, instead seeming content as a prolific goal hanger. Again, that would be commendable if he was in his 30s. He’s 26. The first player to claim the golden boot at a World Cup from penalties and occasional strolls needs to take it easy.

Bringing in Ancelotti and Ibrahimovic would show that Everton really mean business, but it would be very interesting as both figures have been labelled as 'has-beens' in recent months.

For the hosts, this season can be the one where they will end in top 2 and find their way to the extra league of Belarus. Gomel looks like one of the strongest teams in the second league and I think that they will start this season with a convincing victory. Gomel was the best team at home in the previous season where they won 11 of 14 matches. They lost only against teams which get promoted to extra league. Naftan was average team and they lost 0:3 at home in the previous clash against Gomel. I pick here Asian handicap for Gomel
