IMO, the power of Hearts as a squad is not present the expected results so far in Scotland Premiership. Hosts are placed as 11th on standing, sharing the last position together with Hamilton, having one of the weak defensive line-ups in the league. Hosts are playing recently way better, managing run from 5 straight undefeated matches in a row, scoring 10 goals on the last 4 matches. Tonight, facing vs the middle-placed team of Kilmarnock, hosts will be able to force for a 3 pts game. Visitors despite the last win vs Ross County by 3-1, have lost the last 7 straight domestic league games. Kilmarnock defeats are showing defensive problems as well. But tonight, they are coming aware that vs Hearts, they can try to do something better.

Will that perturb them? A little, perhaps, but not a lot. What they did on Thursday was a cause for cheer. Rangers are due great credit for bouncing back from the angst of Sunday's League Cup final. Morelos is due the greatest credit of all. A player who missed so many chances against Celtic, and who missed another decent one early on against Young Boys, brushed it all aside to get the pivotal goal.

Both of these sides have chances of winning promotion this season. They need to improve their current form though or could easily slip out of contention. Forest have had some good wins on the road this season but have struggled for form since that win over Leeds. Cardiff keep falling behind in home games and having to rescue a point. That could well happen again in this game, bet on it ending in a draw.
Premier League season could be cancelled Some Premier League clubs want the current season to be cancelled. According to the Sun newspaper, representatives from a number of sides have argued that with coronavirus not likely to have been resolved in the next month, and with no places in the league settled, the league should be annulled before starting again next summer from scratch.
The Gunners, however, ran out of steam towards the end of the first half as Chelsea, helped by Lampard removing Emerson and sending on Jorginho, started to dominate and continued to do so after the break. Arsenal were resilient but were hanging on and ultimately it was a calamitous individual error and familiar defensive fragility that was to prove their undoing. Leno's rush of blood left Jorginho with the easiest of finishes, although Arsenal certainly had a case to complain about his continued presence on the pitch after escaping that second yellow card.
But he was the man who made the key contribution in the end, netting the winner completely out of nowhere at the death. MAN OF THE MATCH – Adama Traore (Wolves) It is only fair that Traore gets his share of credit too. Not only did he score a superb equaliser, worthy of winning any game, but he was a constant thorn in Spurs’ side.

He becomes the Scottish champions' first signing of this month's transfer window and eases the burden on first-choice striker Odsonne Edouard. Klimala has five caps at Under-21 level for his country, scoring twice.

Standard have been shipping 2.0 goals per 90 minutes on average in their Europa League campaign, and we think Arsenal have the quality in forward areas to ensure that figure is maintained on Thursday.
Roma have been defeated in 4 of their last 5 games. In those 5 games they have conceded 13 goals. In the Championship, the Italians are still in the Eurozone but I do not believe that they will be here long if they play this bad. I believe that Roma will play offensive today because that is the only way they can hope to continue competing in the Euroleague. Gent is in good form. They have no problems in the domestic championship and are very efficient no matter where they play. They have scored 9 goals in their last 3 away games. That is why I think there will be a lot of goals in this match today
Having reached the milestone of a year unbeaten, Liverpool must now negotiate two significant obstacles before the end of the month. Their next two Premier League games are away to Jose Mourinho's Tottenham on Saturday, 11 January - the Portuguese famously oversaw a Chelsea win in 2014 which derailed Brendan Rodgers' hopes of taking the title to Anfield - and at home to Manchester United, the only team to take a point off them all season, the following Sunday.

United were ruthless in the final third as midfield playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who was highly impressive once again, netted via a deflection before the Portuguese volleyed in to finish a swift counter-attack. Brighton did pose some threat in the second half but David de Gea made a flying save to deny Aaron Connolly as Graham Potter's side remain in 15th place, six points above the relegation zone.

We have people literally on between 300 and 1,000 euros ($330 and $1,100) a month, for them to consider a pay cut is a different story. While football has stopped almost everywhere, it is still being played in Belarus, which Baer-Hoffmann said was "difficult to comprehend. We've been contacted by players who are concerned -- common sense tells you they have to apply the same cautionary measures as everywhere else," he said.
Indeed, without the passion of fans to bring home what it means locally, will it have any feel of a true derby fixture?I'm hopeful that to a decent extent it will, with all on both sides well aware of the extra significance of any meeting between the clubs - and the millions upon millions watching worldwide. Perhaps the fact that Liverpool can't secure the title by winning the game helps? The focus outside the city is not only on them but back on the occasion itself.
On another frenetic day of sporting turmoil the announcement that England's top flight soccer league would be halted came shortly after the sport's European governing body UEFA announced that all next week's Champions League and Europa League games had been postponed.

How was he back then?Over the years I have met Messi on many occasions and I had the privilege of writing his only authorised biography. I have watched him flourish and mature as a player and a person both on and off the field. I met him most recently only last week when he was contributing to a film that is being made on that other footballing miracle maker, Ronaldinho. Back in the day when the Brazilian was king of the Nou Camp, the story has it that he asked the then coach, Frank Rijkaard, to make sure Messi was brought into first-team training.
He led England’s attack at the World Cup in Mexico that summer. It was Lee who was the star of the show on this particular night, ably assisted by Neil Young on the left flank. Young swept home the rebound to put City ahead in the 12th minute, after Lee's shot had been spilled by the Polish side's keeper, Hubert Kostka. Then Lee doubled City's lead from the spot just before half-time, after Young had been taken out by Kostka as he ran in on goal.
With Neymar and Marco Veratti suspended and Thiago Silva missing with injury, PSG got off to the perfect start when midfielder Pablo Sarabia steered a mis-hit shot from Marquinhos past Runar Runarsson in the third minute to give them the lead.
