City remain angry at how Arsenal have conducted themselves since Sunday. The Gunners failed to mention their interest in the 37-year-old succeeding Unai Emery despite the two teams meeting at the Emirates, but then sent two senior officials to Manchester for a late night meeting with Arteta following the champions' 3-0 win in London. There has still been no call from anyone in a senior position at Arsenal to City, who do not blame Arteta as he has kept manager Pep Guardiola fully informed.
Adama Traore worked tirelessly down the right flank and could have scored but saw a low drive at the near post kept out by Vicente Guaita. Having scored 51 goals this season, Wolves go into the last game of the season as the only team without an English player finding the net for them. Goal-shy PalacePalace's woeful form has now seen them lose their last seven games in the league and the Eagles seem like a team already looking towards next season.
Everton are continuing to assess candidates to succeed sacked Marco Silva on a permanent basis despite caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson's flying start - with Shanghai SIPG coach Vitor Pereira high on their list. Ferguson galvanised Everton on and off the pitch as they moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with an outstanding performance in the 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park on Saturday.

After a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Norway's No. 1 tournament officially kicked off tonight. In the first match, Odd BK will face Sandefjord. This is considered to be the luck of teachers and students Jan Frode Nornes, because in addition to playing at home, their opponent is just a team who has just arrived in the league.
Hatta and Al Dhafra will face each other in the upcoming match in the UAE League. Hatta this season have the following results: 2W, 2D and 7L. Meanwhile Al Dhafra have 5W, 2D and 4L. Recently both teams were playing attacking football and had some high scoring games.
I'm really happy to see that Odion Ighalo is settling in well and he deserves it with the way he is playing, how he links the plays and the goals he is scoring," Berbatov, who scored 56 goals in four seasons at United, told Betfair. All the team are happy when he scores which shows he is fully integrated, and I like the way he looks for the ball and bullies the defenders.
Both teams scored in 86% of Zwolle’s home games this season with an average of 4.86 goals being produced per game, while AZ’s away games average 3.13 goals and that adds more weight to our prediction for a 3-1 away win this weekend. Zwolle haven’t kept any clean sheets home or away this season but have only failed to score in 14% of their home games, while AZ have scored in all of their away games.
LONDON, Jan 1 (Reuters) - Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has said Granit Xhaka will stay at the club after the Swiss midfielder produced a gritty performance to help his side to a 2-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday. Xhaka was in the firing line earlier in the season after he reacted furiously to fans booing him when he was substituted in a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace in October.
Viborg will host HB Koege who has been playing quite well and they also need to get a good result if they want to continue in this division. Here it feels like the home team will win so I predict a result of 2-1. Viborg lost at home in the last match against Fredericia but now they meet Köge who have no hope going on the last 5, but they can get a consolation goal.
Tonbridge and Hungerford will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Tonbridge this season have the following results: 7W, 7D and 12L.

Diogo Jota had the ball in Bournemouth's net again five minutes after the restart, but the Portuguese' effort was disallowed for offside in the build-up. The hosts, to their credit, threw caution to the wind in the second half and pulled a goal back through Steve Cook's deflected header, but Wolves held on for all three points.
Robin Gosens volleyed the second 12 minutes later and Duvan Zapata converted a penalty, awarded for a tug on Ilicic, just before halftime as Atalanta quickly put Monday's shock home defeat by SPAL behind them. Ilicic was mobbed by his team mates after scoring his stunning freekick effort and, one minute later, completed his hat-trick after getting behind the Torino defence to take his league tally for the season to 13.

Much like their hosts, the visitors are more than confident when in front of goal and add to this by the fact that they are not afraid when on opposition turf. Dover have scored in 82% of their away matches and average 1.27 goals per game on the road. When you consider that three points could thrust them right back into the play-off picture, the visitors are likely to go all out to get the win.
So how big was the night out afterwards?"All of a sudden the lights came on and it was 6am," Robertson remembers. I was talking to Kenny Dalglish, he was getting ushered away by his wife because they had a flight to catch. Me and Adam Lallana stayed up because our wake-up call was half eight so it was pointless going to sleep. We had our friends and families there - it was an amazing night. It was a very different feeling to the year before!"We never had a party in Kiev, just flew straight back and I never got the silver medal out of the drawer until the day after winning in Madrid.
PARIS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Megan Rapinoe won the women's Ballon d'Or award on Monday after leading the United States to a record-extending fourth World Cup title in France this year.

TALKING POINT Turning point for Arsenal? The Mikel Arteta revolution has stuttered in the early stages of his tenure, and Arsenal fans looked set for further frustration as their team looked limp in the extreme in the opening 45 minutes. Whatever Arteta said during the break had an incredible rejuvenating effect, as Arsenal stepped it up a few gears to earn the Spaniard just his second Gunners league win.

Good, old Olimpija Ljubljana is one of my favorite teams for betting on goals in Europe because this is one of the teams who is all the time playing that way. Odds are pretty big on goals in this case because home team or Aluminij is team who is have pretty good defense, but never mind, guests are reason for this bet. Not so long ago, in last official match of this two teams, Ljubljana is at home beat this rival 3-1, so I hope that rivals can be on that level and this time. For me, it is real.
It’s sad,” said the defender. I don’t know why they would. Maybe it’s because I voiced about the racism. If you boo me because of that then you are poor people. I am sorry. This is a sign that we have a very big problem. At the end of the day I am alone in this case because I am the one who has to swallow this.
Former Manchester City defender Glyn Pardoe - the club's youngest ever debutant - has died at the age of 73. Pardoe made his City debut in April 1962 at the age of 15 years and 341 days old and spent his entire playing career with the club. He was part of the 1968 league-winning side and scored the winning goal in the 1970 League Cup final.

Dinamo Zagreb is full of confidence after the incredible start of the season. They have a real possibility to advance to the next round of the Champions League while being first in their domestic league. What more could you ask for? They score a lot of goals, as they have already produced 28 in Croatia. Their best goal scorer is Mislav Orsic with 8 in the league, so far. They have a complete squad and Hajduk Split will have to play their best football if they want to compete with the mighty Dinamo.
Extraordinarily powerful at home, Ajax have won 11 of their 12 Eredivisie matches in the Amsterdam Arena. Nine of those 11 matches were won by at least two goals, as were their last three home matches against Alkmaar. The visiting side have been worthy title challengers but we expect Ajax to assert dominance with a big win on Sunday. Back them with a minus-one handicap.
At the other end, that same pattern has been repeating itself, and while Wolves don't score many, they routinely register in the majority of their games. Wanderers rattled the net in each of their last 17 outings in all competitions, though they scored just 1.52 goals per 90 minutes on average.
Though out of ten matches played between the two only two have seen over 2.5, I am going with a over 2.75 goals, why because the last two matches for Atletico Madrid witnessed the same. Coming to the host their last ten matches only three were not over 2.5 and they didn't score in only one.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax are on the brink of a Europa League exit after losing 2-0 at Spanish high-flyers Getafe. On-loan forward Deyverson gave the Spanish team the lead, before being hit by a lighter during his celebration. Former Chelsea winger Kenedy came off the bench to score Getafe's second during added time. The second leg takes place at the Johan Cruyff Arena next Thursday (27 January).
The impression it has given is that it is a collection of self-interested organisations, all with different agendas," says Chris Buckley, chairman of the Sport Acuity consultancy. But Buckley doesn't believe the reputational damage will impact on attendance at games. Fans put up with a heck of a lot and I am sure we will be flooding back once there is a live game to see," he said.
Stefanos Tsitsipas has only dropped one set on his way to this semi-final. Stefanos Tsistipas won the tournament held last week in Marseille. Daniel Evans lacks experience in the latter part of top tournaments. Britain's Daniel Evans has been the big surprise in this week's ATP tournament in Dubai. He's made it all the way to the semi-final and now takes on second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Saints dominated the first half and took an early lead through Shane Long, who bundled in his third goal of the season from Moussa Djenepo's left-wing cross. Villa improved slightly after the break but the hosts went closest to extending their advantage as substitute Che Adams was denied his first Saints strike by a late goal-line block. Then as Villa threw caution to the wind in stoppage time, with goalkeeper Pepe Reina going up for a corner, Saints broke upfield and Stuart Armstrong raced on to a diagonal ball by Adams to slide the ball into an empty net and seal victory.
