If you're not ready for Leeds, you'll get exposed. Arteta was so incensed at Arsenal's first-half performance that he gave the players a talking to at the break and his approach seemed to work as they improved in the second half. We had to react. The biggest change was how aggressive we are, making runs forward and being positive," Arteta told reporters after a match which Arsenal edged thanks to a Reiss Nelson strike 10 minutes after the break.
We’re confident that Crewe will score over 1.5 team goals on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0 in favour of the visitors. Crewe have only lost one of their last six matches and have been playing well on the road and, while Macclesfield have only lost once at home and should prove a tough nut to crack, we believe the visitors secure all three points this weekend.
They had more than enough chances to leave London with a point, not least when Calvert-Lewin found himself in space just a few yards out. But he was somehow unable to beat Leno, and also glanced a header from a corner just wide. Everton are used to getting worked over by Arsenal - they are winless in 24 visits to the Gunners and have conceded a Premier League-high 110 goals against them. But they will rarely leave with as much optimism following a defeat as after this.

Odense has 3 wins in a row at home at this moment where they have a record of 5-0-2 so far this season and they are the only club in the league to have defeated Midtjylland this season winning with 1-0 away from home but to be fair the game belonged to Midtjylland and this time I see them scoring as they have 5 wins in a row I mean they even demolished Copenhagen with 4-1 at home so great form for them but Odense is scoring goals with ease so over 2.5 goals at such odds is the best way to go.

MANCHESTER, England, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Defensive problems were again Manchester City's undoing as another damaging defeat, 2-1 to local rivals Manchester United, left their title hopes hanging by a thread on Saturday.

This includes a rare joint-manager tenure at the start of the 1998-99 season between Roy Evans, who had been in sole charge but to diminishing returns for four seasons, and Gerard Houllier, who would continue on his own after Evans resigned just four months into the shared arrangement. Excluding Souness, who was only in charge for the final five games of 1990-91, four managers have taken Liverpool to within one place of league glory during the past 30 years - Houllier (2001-02), Rafael Benitez (2008-09), Brendan Rodgers (2013-14) and Jurgen Klopp (2018-19).

I want more authenticity in diversity, so inclusion and growth of talent become the focus, rather than hitting targets. It's International Women's Day but we need to use every day to make changes that improve prospects for people across the board. Giving a voice to one person doesn't mean it cancels another out. We also must remember that gender bias goes both ways. Telling a boy to "man up" can have a detrimental effect on their decision making and mental health.
HAALAND-MANIA Erling Haaland needed only 23 minutes on his Borussia Dortmund debut to become the talk of the Bundesliga, with the exciting Norwegian teenager firing in a hat-trick after coming on as a substitute for a 5-3 win at Augsburg.

The Argentine, who led Spurs to the Champions League final last season, was sacked by the north London club last month and replaced by Jose Mourinho.

In the betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' stands out as a viable option. It's been a while since either team failed to score in the league, nearly two months to be exact, while both have posted encouraging attacking figures in their respective home and away games. Doncaster have scored an average of 1.5 at home, while they also rank as the third-best team in terms of shots on target at home, averaging a pleasing 5.07. When it comes to shots for, they're League 1's best home team, averaging 15.14. On the road, Coventry average 1.64 goals for, as well as 5.45 shots for, which makes them the best team in the league in that respect. Throw in that both teams have scored in 64% of Donny's game at Keepmoat, as well as in each of Coventry's last five on the road, four of which have seen three or more goals go in, and supporting a high-scoring games becomes the way to go.
TALKING POINT - Sergio Ramos nearly cost his team dearly with a moment of madness He scored the opening goal for Real Madrid, but Ramos very nearly cost his team by giving away a penalty kick, allowing Alaves the chance to equalise from the spot. As club captain, Ramos should know better. His elbow into the face of Joselu inside the box was careless at best, reckless at worst.
They played well, although were not at their best, and may feel this is a game they would have won a month ago. They let Newcastle know they were in for a battle early on when Dickie and Joelinton clashed in an aerial challenge and both players needed bandages on their heads for the majority of the game.
Their most recent game saw them take on bottom-of-the-table Belshina, with the game ending 1-1. It looked like being a goalless draw but Belshina took an 80th minute lead through a Sergei Glebko penalty. It was the 90th minute when Smolevichi got their equalizer, through a Barusakov penalty. That made it two draws in a row but four without a goal from open play.
Sevilla lost vital ground in the title race during December after a 1-1 draw at Osasuna and a surprise 1-2 home defeat against Villarreal, but they at least managed to sign off for Christmas with a victory, as goals from Diego Carlos and Ever Banega sealed a 0-2 win over Mallorca at Son Moix.
GOAL! Everton 3-1 Crystal Palace (Calvert-Lewin): That will seal it! Richarlison wriggles free of his marker to head Digne's corner onto the post and Calvert-Lewin reacts quickest to bundle it home for his 13th goal of the season.

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier has denied there is a negative atmosphere at the club under Jose Mourinho. Spurs went three league games without a goal before beating Norwich in midweek and players are said to be unhappy with Mourinho's training methods. The spirit has always been one of this team's greatest strengths and I still think it is," Dier said. I think everybody has been training very well, training hard, enjoying themselves in the same way as always.
Holders Valencia will play away to Logrones while Atletico Madrid will play at Cultural Leonesa, with all four teams who played in last week's Super Cup automatically being paired with the lowest-ranked teams in the competition.

Tomorrow we need to win. If we are able to win three or four games on the trot, then we are right there. That’s the challenge we have and all the teams have at the moment.

Leicester beat Watford to keep up chase * Mourinho loses on Old Trafford return * Chelsea see off Villa 2-1 By Martyn Herman LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Liverpool's bandwagon rolled on as they crushed Merseyside rivals Everton 5-2 at Anfield but Leicester City's pursuit continued with a seventh successive Premier League victory to stay eight points behind on Wednesday.
The Sun report also states that the west London club also hold interest in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner. Paper Round's view: Chelsea are clearly looking to shift the unwanted duo Giroud and Michy Batshuayi, but need to find an adequate replacement first. Tammy Abraham is enjoying a fruitful first full season at Chelsea in the Premier League, but he's still young and fairly inexperienced at the top level, so it makes sense why Lampard would want another striking option who can provide positive competition in his squad.
Nicaragua Primera U20. Juventus Managua will play with team Real Esteli. It will be the first semi- final game. Hosts did 4 wins at the last 4 matches played. Guests did 5 wins at the last 5 matches played. Both clubs have a good shape. My bet is a draw here. On this stage it is very possible to see a balanced game. Both clubs will play more better in defense. And maybe we will see a game without any goals. Odds are so good to try this way. I recommend to check this position with me in this game !
England captain Harry Kane has joined forces with Leyton Orient by sponsoring their shirts next season and donating the space to three good causes.

Rashford scored twice in United's 4-0 Premier League win over Norwich City on Saturday, taking his tally to 19 in his past 23 games for club and country.

Celta de Vigo will host Osasuna for this fixture of the league. Both sides are not very good teams in this campaign. Celta have fallen into a very poor show in this season. Celta is team of the relegation zone. Of course, the hosts will try to make a positive result. However, they are in poor shape. Also, Celta have weak attack. In any case, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Osasuna who's is very average team in this season. The visitors have a poor results in the last matches. However, they have a more effective attack. I think, Osasuna have a chance to win.
Three or four managers in the league look like they are one more bad result away from losing their jobs unfortunately," said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson. Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests. This week he is up against dual-code rugby star Sonny Bill Williams, who has just joined Canadian Super League side Toronto Wolfpack. No surprise that Williams, as a Toronto Wolfpack player, is backing Wolves for a big win this weekendWilliams, who has also been a professional boxer, is a two-time rugby union World Cup winner and is switching codes for the third time.
But sports finance expert Dr Rob Wilson believes a “fairer” way for the richest league in the world to help would be for top-flight clubs to donate 2% of their broadcast income. The Premier League’s broadcast contracts are worth £9. Liverpool and Manchester City both receiving more than £150m in TV money last season. Even the bottom of the league club will take the thick end of £120m, so that is £2.
Sibley's first goal where he showed great control after a slick team move before crashing the ball high into the net was the pick of his three and came just after he had gone close with a decent strike from distance. Two mazy runs almost brought further goals, one effort flashing just wide and another producing a fine one-handed stop from Bartoz Bialkowski. Sibley was not to be denied his hat-trick, however, with two similar strikes across goal from astute passes by Waghorn and substitute Chris Martin, securing a much-deserved third successive league victory for the visitors.
