They are fourth in the table and could do with a home win over 11th placed Everton to boost their Champions League qualification hopes. It's a tough time being a Chelsea fan at present. One minute you are losing to Bayern Munich, the next getting a draw at Bournemouth and then beating Liverpool. That's the unpredictable nature of Frank Lampard's team, especially at Stamford Bridge.
The Portuguese, it turns out, was well worth the two-window transfer saga. While up front, the guy they spent £63 million on way back in 2015 appears to have come good again. Nice. Their 2-0 win against Manchester City means United have not lost in 10 games, which is decent. They still, however, have a manager who the jury remains well and truly out on, though.
Forfar has a record of just 1-0-5 on the road this season, which is very weak plus they lost most of their away league games or cup games by at least 2 goals difference and this game reminds me from the start of last season when they came here at Raith and ended up losing the game with 4-0, but I am a bit chicken and will not take the -1.5 AH do not know why I usually risk a lot.
At home Dukla Praha have been strong so far this season with a 7-0-2 record in 9 matches. They have also been one of the most productive home teams in the league with 21 goals so far. They had a good restart of the league with a home win and a draw at second placed Brno.
VAR, was it offside?! IT'S GIVEN! Bournemouth are ahead and boy do Chelsea have their work cut out now. GOAL!

If they feel they want to protest, then they should. They should feel free to do that," he told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme. It's a fundamental human right to express your beliefs. My suggestion is that they should take a knee. I would say that taking a knee when you score a goal and have the whole team do it, the referee is not going to book an entire team. It's a very powerful image and a gesture of solidarity.
Rather than have his back to goal with a defender close up behind him and marking him tightly, he likes to get on the ball and go at people - which he was able to do at the Bernabeu with his runs down the left.

Guests are 2nd in the league with a record of 6-1-1 so far in the league but just reached the final of the King Cup competition and have no less than 8 wins in a row in all competitions at this moment and keep on winning games and scoring goals both in home games and also in away games as their aim this season is to win both the cup competition but also the league where they are 3 points behind the league leaders from Al-Hidd but also a game less played than their rivals for the title, but really incredible form for them.

The home team Monchengladbach held host Leipzig with 2-2 to help this team not be abandoned in the race to the Bundesliga championship this season. They are currently in the fourth position on the table with 4 points less than the team currently headed by Bayern Munich. In this round, Monchengladbach will be back home to host Hoffenheim and a victory will surely help the team continue to chase the top 1 and they will keep a place in the group to participate in the Champions League next season. On the other side of the line, Hoffenheim was not in good shape when losing to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 2-3
Club friendly game between two teams from Sweden. Qviding are from the divisions two and at the moment they are leading the division. They are yet to get a win in their recent friendly games after playing 2 they lost the first one 1-0 and had a 1-1 draw in the second. Oddevold are from the division one though they are bottom of that leading which still is higher than the division 2. They defeated Lindome 2-0 in their last game. This won't be an easy game for them but they can come out with a draw at least in this game

The match was the last of United’s 11-day trilogy. On 16 May, they beat Spurs 2-1 at Old Trafford to win the Premier League title, pipping an utterly magnificent Arsenal team by a point. On 22 May, four days before Barcelona, they beat Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup final. The disparity between the sides was such it felt like a pre-European Cup final friendly.

Napoli went to Milan on that occasion and came away victorious after an impressive 1-0 win. Fabian Ruiz cut in from the right to score a curling cracker with his left foot to kickstart a great run of form for Gennaro Gattuso's Napoli. They were unbeaten in the five matches before the hiatus, the only draw being at home to Barcelona in the Champions League.
Even before Luiz's dismissal and Jorginho's goal from the spot, the Blues dominated and should have been ahead after a hesitant start by the Gunners. Having lost to a 93rd-minute goal at Newcastle on Saturday, Chelsea came flying out of the blocks. Andreas Christensen headed wide from a corner when the Denmark defender should have done better while Abraham was six yards out when he nodded another chance straight at Leno.
The hosts have at this moment 6 wins in a row in the league really impressive form for them as they score a lot of goals both in home games but also in away games and often win games by this scoring margin at least 2 goals needed to cover this handicap bet here with the guests being very weak this season and especially really modest lately in their away games conceding goals with ease and losing by at least 2 goals difference as well.

Nijmegen is really not that strong, they easily lost their last two away games in the league only advantage they have over their opponents today is that they were eliminated early in the cup competition and they did not play there this week while the hosts played but did well as they won 2-0 away at a decent Excelsior side and so progressed forward in the competition, and are coming with good morale here.
The forward volleyed the first from inside the six-yard area after Issa Diop's flick from a corner before using his head to guide Mark Noble's free-kick beyond Tim Krul. Hammers skipper Noble also provided the ball over the top for Antonio's hat-trick. Krul saved his initial shot but it fell invitingly for the West Ham player to head over the line. His fourth was a tap-in after Ryan Fredericks' pass.

Neymar left Barcelona for the French champions in a world record move in 2017 but his time in the capital has been dogged by reports of unrest.

We can’t wait. So when the Premier League eventually returns, don’t forget to enjoy Vardy, he’s a truly special player and the way he has kept on going is absolutely remarkable. Even if he doesn’t make another appearance for England he will end his career as a Premier League winner and almost certainly a member of the 100 goals club.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Kojo's prediction: 1-0 Arsenal v Man Utd (20:00)Arsenal are the poorest I have seen them for many, many years. They simply cannot defend and their defensive issues are not going to be resolved anytime soon. Mikel Arteta has his work cut out trying to sort it all out. That said, I think this will be an open game and I see them getting something against Manchester United. United have had a good festive programme so far but they have their own fragilities.
It remains to be seen if Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes will work in tandem on Saturday, though either one of the burly centre-forwards will make life very uncomfortable for a less than convincing looking Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez defensive partnership.
We go for everything against everyone. The Portuguese coach usually never stays too long in one job and only in his first spell at Chelsea did he reach a fourth season, though he was sacked in September 2007 after six games.

Napoli lead Inter Milan 1-0 in the other semi-final, which will be played to a conclusion on Saturday. All games will be played behind closed doors, although the head of Italy's football federation (FIGC) Gabriele Gravina has said he hopes that some fans can be allowed back into stadiums to watch matches before the end of the current season. This week it was decided that extra-time would be scrapped for the cup ties, which will go straight to a penalty shootout if they remain level on aggregate after the second leg.
Will heat be a factor? Are the stadiums finished? Will fans be allowed to buy a beer? These are just some of the questions being asked.
