Novak Djokovic is back to his dominant best and that's not good news for the rest of the tennis world. He has only dropped one set in this tournament and looks set to win a record eighth Australian Open title. Dominic Thiem is proving at last that he doesnt need clay to get good results and must be a decent bet to dethrone Nadal in Paris this year. Here, he has made his first final but had a much tougher route than his opponent. The tip here is for a Djokovic victory.
The only team to have played more games against an opponent without ever leading is Portsmouth against Chelsea (14 games). The Clarets are winless in 15 top-flight games against Arsenal, since a 1-0 victory at Highbury in September 1974. Arsenal have drawn five consecutive away league matches for the first time since August 1948.

The Swedish winger became the first man to score in successive finals since Tottenham's Bobby Smith in 1962, and four days later Wenger's men went to Old Trafford and won 1-0 to secure Arsenal's third double. Cole: "We had the momentum going into the final and then four days later to go to Old Trafford and. I was going to say nick a 1-0 - win the title was a great achievement. Being around the legends that were at Arsenal at the time - Martin Keown, Tony Adams, David Seaman, Lee Dixon, Ray Parlour - they had already instilled that will to win and demands needed on a daily basis.
Shakhtyor continue to be in top form and keeping clean sheets. They face an awkward trip to Dinamo Minsk who have four points from their last two games but they have already lost twice at home. Both those losses were inflicted by sides currently in the top seven. Their last two home wins have come against Isloch (no points on their travels this season) and Neman Grodno who are 13th in the table. The away side has the momentum and can get the win.
It reflected the mood. This tie is over. Chelsea can concentrate on the top four and the FA Cup fifth-round meeting with Liverpool here in seven days' time. The Champions League dream has gone. Football may produce the odd miracle but rarely on the scale Chelsea will require and while you can hardly say it is a mercy in the face of such a merciless destruction, they can count themselves very fortunate they will travel to Munich only three goals down.
That is more important than any game of football he could play. Solskjaer has watched with pride at the way 22-year-old England forward Rashford has kept pushing the agenda, unafraid to recount his own experiences of using breakfast clubs and free school meals at times when his mother was unable to earn enough money to feed her children adequately. It has been fantastic to follow Marcus throughout the lockdown period," he said.
two serie a giants clash at this fixture of great magnitude. Ac Milan enter this fixture aiming to revenge their horrendous loss to inter Milan during the weekend by progressing in this coppa Italia fixture also by defeating rivals Juventus who by all means also want to exact retribution for their loss at Verona by defeating ac Milan in this cup fixture which they aim to win. Both teams aim at straight win but then it will be rather tricky to predict A straight win for either teams that is why I predict that there are to score at least two goals
Dynamo against Nordhausen is this game for RL in Germany where the away team is favored and I think he will win this match and I go for this with a 2 bet FT. The home team after 15 games has 22 points and is in the upper zone of the standings but has 7 points less than the guests and this will be a difficult game for them. The guests in fact won all the last 3 games they played. They won 1-3 the last game played away from home and for this reason I'm going to try a win for them today.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES UEFA meet to ask…what happens now? From this meeting, the dominoes may well fall. The various parts, members, stakeholders and whatever else of UEFA will be calling in to one massive Google Hangout today in order to discuss what the merry hell happens now. The most likely conclusion from all of this is that Euro 2020 is pushed back…to when, we are not sure – maybe December, maybe January, maybe next summer – but it’s obvious that the pan-continental tournament can’t happen as scheduled.
Ross County will play against Hibernian in the Scottish first division. This match will be played on today. This is a very interesting match where there will surely be goals, these two teams in general during meetings, offer a very good match and number of goals. Hibernian is definitely the favorite in this match. But I think that they can win here against Ross country who are having bad run of form but not in home matches. I expect Hibernian to win here as they are in amazing form winning their last 3 matches in a row. They will try to extend their winning run here.
That was shown by the fact we won the League Cup in the November of that season. Derby win fuels beliefThat 3-0 victory at Ibrox over Dundee United - to secure only Celtic's second trophy in eight years - was proof of a team growing in belief and cohesion. By the time of the new year Old Firm derby on 2 January, Brattbakk had been signed for £2m from Rosenborg to bolster Celtic's strike force. A 2-0 win - the only time Celtic came out on top in five meetings with Rangers that season - moved Jansen's side a point behind the Ibrox men and provided the launchpad for a title surge.
You may get more leg room than a lot of stadiums this way, but we've definitely still got some questions. For instance, how many parking spaces should a limo be allowed?

After being used in the German Bundesliga, artificial crowd noise will be available to UK viewers.
Chelsea remain five points clear of fifth-placed Manchester United - who thrashed Norwich 4-0 - while Burnley, now on a run of four straight defeats, are four points above the drop zone with 18th-placed Bournemouth yet to play this weekend. Callum Hudson-Odoi of Chelsea celebrates after scoring his team's third goal during the Premier League match between Chelsea FC and Burnley FC at Stamford Bridge on January 11, 2020 in London, United KingdomGetty Images TALKING POINT Hudson-Odoi makes his mark: Having lacked firepower during a run of four league defeats in eight games, Frank Lampard had demanded his side 'find a killer instinct' in his pre-match notes ahead of the visit of Burnley.
A 5th-placed Kilmarnock side come into this game on the back of a trio of unwanted results which include defeats to Motherwell and Aberdeen as well as a draw with Hamilton just before the international break.
Spain can complete the Davis Cup and ATP Cup double. They have Roberto Bautista Agut in top form and are strong in the doubles department. It might not even matter who wins the rubber between Nadal and Djokovic but Spain look the stronger squad and can win the cup.
In order for us [the PFA] to be able to protect those players in terms of securing their salaries, if that's the only offer we have on the table to complete the season, then that is what it will be. Too soon to consider games behind closed doors - NevilleLiverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, whose side are 25 points clear at the top of the Premier League, said he would be "gutted" for the club's fans if they were absent when the Premier League title was secured.

Long And did not have the best start to this season as they played their first game away at strong Khanh Hoa who have won all 3 league games so far this season and are the current league leaders and they ended up losing that game with 4-1 in the end, after that they drew 0-0 at home with An Giang and last game they won against the odds with 2-1 away at Binh Dinh so it can be said that they have started to play better football as the games came and gone.
Argentine winger Lucas Ocampos broke the deadlock at the end of the first half, tapping into the net from close range after team mate Sergio Reguilon cashed in on a disastrous slip from Getafe's Oghenekaro Etebo. Fernando doubled Sevilla's lead in the 67th minute after a long wait for a VAR review before Jules Kounde netted the third in the 75th to complete a victory which lifted his side after a run of poor results and brought Getafe back down to earth after their surprise 2-0 win over Ajax Amsterdam.
He will soon call it a day on these shores but I dearly hope before he leaves he will be appropriately honoured by the PFA or the Football Writers' Association. Preferably both. Did you know? The Argentina striker netted his 12th Premier League hat-trick - the most of any player in the competition's history.
Villa could be entering troubling times as the Midlands club sit just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League. United are desperate for a creative midfielder to improve their attacking options and Grealish has impressed this season. The Red Devils could benefit from a potential Villa relegation as it would decrease Grealish's asking price.

Aulas said nobody "outside those who took the decision" understands why the campaign was declared finished. He told BBC World Service Sport's John Bennett: "All that was needed was to stop temporarily, assess the situation and take a decision on whether to stop later on. It is a massive error, firstly because the country needs football and at the moment, to watch football, we are now obliged to turn to football in other countries.
Both teams have scored in the last three Dinamo Minsk matches. Three of the last five Isloch Minsk away league games have seen both teams score. Eight Dinamo Minsk games have seen 21 goals scored. Dinamo Minsk lost their second league game in a row at the weekend. That took them down to 13th in the Belarus Premier League and this weekend, they host fourth-placed Isloch Minsk.

Rizespor is at this moment on a relegation place, having the same amount of points like the team on the first safe place. With a win in this game they can be out of the red zone. Goztepe is at the middle of the table without any worries, not fighting for European places. Both teams are not in the best form, but Rizespor have for what to fight. They won one points away at Sivasspor a couple of weeks ago, a team much stronger than today`s opponent. I think this match could end in a draw, so I`m going for the away team.
We did not do it well in the second half,” said Dortmund captain Marco Reus. All three goals could have been avoided. It was a good game from both but a point from this game is far too little for us. Leipzig stay top on 34 points, with second-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach, who host bottom club Paderborn on Wednesday, on 31.
Another game in the premier league in Belarus. The host this time are the Neman Grodno and they will be hosting Vitebsk. Neman played last week game against Isloch mostly with ten men after Zoran Marusic was shown a red card on the 43rd minute of that game. The host haven't won in their last 3 games played. Vitebsk got a slim win last week against Gorodeya at home despite taking a red card in that game 1-0. The last head to head meeting between these two sides ended in a 0-0 draw. I fancy Vitebsk to win this game by 0-1
A series of racist incidents has tainted European football recently. Italian striker Mario Balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch after receiving alleged racist abuse earlier this month while Shakhtar Donetsk forward Taison was shown a red card for reacting to racist jeers from the crowd during a match.
In fact, Gerrard's final lasting contribution to that campaign would have been the kiss he planted on that TV camera after scoring two penalties in a famous 3-0 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford. And then there are the great escapology acts that take place when the heat is really on. Using the unweighted points-per-game-played system adopted by League Two and the Scottish Premiership following the decision to end their seasons, we can get a sense of which clubs could have gone down had previous campaigns been curtailed.
Did you know? Gabriel Jesus has scored in 33 Premier League games for Manchester City and ended on the winning side in 32 of those (D1), a win ratio of 97% - the best of any player to have scored in at least 20 games in Premier League history.

There should not be a lot of goals scored in this one, since both teams are playing very good in the defensive line and they are one of the better, in the previous part of the competition. Host is near the top with all five victories in the recent matches, but Defense is also play without mistake, having run of the victories too.

Premier League clubs have asked for a "combination of conditional reductions and deferrals amounting to 30% of total annual remuneration. The clubs say they need to reduce their wage bill temporarily to help them cover their outgoings at a time when they have massively reduced income. The PFA, who represent players at all levels of the game, including low-paid lower league footballers, say that the players are willing to give up some of their income to help charitable efforts — but not to let club owners keep it.

Only four clubs have conceded in excess of their 28 goals, half of which have come in the past six games. Striker Sebastien Haller, their £45m record signing, has scored once since August and after starting on the bench against Arsenal, the Frenchman made no impact after he was introduced 20 minutes from time. Pellegrini accepts that, as manager, "you take responsibility for results". For 65 minutes there was only one team on the pitch," he added.
Resume of the season in England Championship. Luton remained undefeated 3 games before the season break, but is still rotting on relegation zone with 6 points behind the safe zone. Preston suffered 3 defeats before the break and slipped to number 6, which is still one for the playoffs. Both need points, I expect a draw here.
I see it likely that both teams should be scoring here in this one although the hosts failed to do so last time at home losing 3-0 with Barrow they did just fine a few months ago when visiting Borehamwood and getting all 3 points from that game by scoring 2 goals and winning with 2-1 in the end, this while at this moment their defense is for sure not that solid.

Sheffield United currently hold the Premier League's third best defensive record and the Blades kept their visitors out in 50% of their last six games at Bramall Lane. We’re backing Chris Wilder’s well-drilled outfit to lean on their watertight back-line again to edge out West Ham by the narrowest of margins.
On Saturday evening, in the central match of the 23rd round of the German Championship, Schalke, counting on the support of his native stands, will try to fight back the gradually gaining momentum of Leipzig. Looking at how unhealthy Red Bull is holding his last away fights, one involuntarily wonders - why is the odds for the victory of the “bulls” in this game much lower?
During his managerial stint at Liverpool, Rodgers helped English forward Raheem Sterling break into the first team and develop into one of the league's brightest prospects before he secured a move to Manchester City in 2015. Rodgers said he was always convinced Sterling, who has scored nine league goals this season, could become world class.
We have seen our income literally disappear overnight," added Barber. Tottenham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Norwich have opted to utilise the government's job retention scheme. Players, coaches and executive staff at Norwich have donated £200,000, made up of a percentage of their salaries, to help local people affected by the pandemic. Players at Championship leaders Leeds United have already volunteered to take a wage deferral while Birmingham City players who earn more than £6,000 a week have been asked to take a 50% cut for the next four months.
