Central Coast Mariners haven’t started the season well with just one win in five games and confidence doesn’t look high at Central Coast Stadium. A victory against Perth Glory in week three gave the side a little bit of hope that their fortunes were beginning to turn but comprehensive losses against Melbourne City and Adelaide United since then have put the side back into a slump. They have some good news this weekend with the return of DeSilva and the signing of Jair but top scorer, Milan Duric, has been ruled out with a hip injury. The team have struggled across the pitch and this has been compounded by the news that the Mariners have now gone 38 games without a clean sheet, an A-League record.

National League clubs have been asked to vote on ending the campaign without knowing how promotion and relegation is to be decided.

I don't think Southampton's struggles mean Ralph Hasenhuttl is going to lose his job - I think there is more chance of him being given money to improve his team in the January transfer window. This is the start of a key period for Villa, who follow this game by playing Norwich (home) and Watford (away). I don't think Dean Smith's side have been playing that badly, and I don't think they will lack any confidence for this game.

I will play this game quite safe, taking over 2 goals although I predict United scoring goals with ease in the back of the net of LASK who despite being the best team in Austria this season and only club from Austria still in European competitions it is really a big difference between Tipico Bundesliga and the Premier League which is rated as the best league in the world and there United is doing really well lately, winning a few days ago with 2-0 at home with City, but in this game they would not mind scoring a couple of goals and securing qualification from the first leg.
Reina spent eight seasons with the Liverpool first team between 2005-2013 where he won the Premier League Golden Glove award for most clean sheets in his first three seasons with the club.

Victoriano is making their positive run with the recent two games in the league, and they are now in the mid of the table currently. Team will host one of the bottom placed rival in the competition, and should not have issue to make advantage here, in front of the crowd.
I’ve been at Chelsea since I was a young kid and to extend my contract is a great feeling. When you are that young you don’t think too far ahead, you just play week in, week out and then as you gradually get older you start to realise it is getting closer and closer. There are a few of us playing in Chelsea’s first team now that have all come through the academy at the same time and that is great, it shows how well the academy has brought us through and how well we are doing.

He emerged after half-time heavily strapped and unable to take goal kicks. Jones would take advantage almost immediately after the injury by giving Leeds the lead, but Bonetti would have the last laugh, living up to his reputation as 'The Cat' by launching off one good leg to make a string of important saves. Fittingly, Bonetti - the foundation on which Chelsea’s first Cup final triumph was built and a revered figure in their history - collected the base of the trophy at its presentation.

However, it was not without controversy. Other sports such as rugby and cricket quickly cancelled their competitions, but the Football Association took the divisive decision to press ahead with the 1914-15 season, fearful - as many clubs are as a result of the coronavirus pandemic - that cancelling games would have dire financial implications. The government initially sought to harness football's popularity (with the support of the FA), seeing it as an abundant potential source of recruits, with posters geared towards players and supporters and addresses made during half-times encouraging men to sign up.
The Gunners are tenth in the table, six points off a coveted Champions League place. Southampton are only three points further back in 14th but their more immediate concern will be quickly obtaining a points total that eradicates the threat of relegation.

Back-to-back defeats by west London rivals Brentford and Championship leaders Leeds straight after the season resumed left them seven points off the top two. Fulham responded well with four successive wins to close the gap before their trip to West Brom, but the visitors were unable to break down a stubborn defence as they lacked inspiration and cutting edge in the final third. Knockaert's long-range effort was the closest they came to breaking the deadlock, although Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Championship's joint-top scorer this season, sent two headers from corners narrowly off target before the break.
