Neither of these two teams have been enjoying their best respective runs of the season in recent weeks. Hertha have failed to win any of their last six Bundesliga games. Furthermore, they have also lost each of their last five Bundesliga games. Their recent run of poor form leaves them sitting dangerously in 16th place in the Bundesliga table. Harry Kane's injury is likely to prompt Tottenham to bring a striker to White Hart Lane, while chairman Daniel Levy will also hope to offload Christian Eriksen before he leaves the club for free in the summer. Chelsea, with their transfer ban lifted, will certainly be big movers in the transfer window. In addition, Potter's arrival at Brighton has seen them become a menace at set-pieces. Seven of Brighton's last 10 league goals have been scored via set-piece situations. Man of the match - Mat Ryan (Brighton) There were heroes all over the pitch for Brighton but Mat Ryan's dramatic late stop to keep out Gabriel Martinelli - one of four saves by the keeper - was crucialMiserable times at Arsenal - the statsArsenal have faced 52 shots on target in Premier League home games this season - in the entire Invincibles season in 2003-04, they allowed just 48 opposition shots on target at home. The Robins have reignited their hopes of securing a playoff spot this season, but they need to find some consistency. They do end to pick up results in spells, so they will be hoping that their latest victory is the start of another strong run of form to kick off the New Year. We expect the hosts to continue that wait, with the Bees in mixed form so far this season. They’ve lost four of their five clashes with the sides current above them, so playoff challengers Bristol City should prove to be another test. They certainly have in recent years, which has seen the Bees win once in five meetings with Bristol City. With Brentford’s away form considered we’re siding against them here, especially with the Robins losing just three times in 12 home games. Chelsea’s problem quite clearly stems from the back. Their open style of play leaves a sub-par defence exposed, and the result has been 17 goals conceded in 12 league matches. This gets even worse when away from home, where they have shipped an average of two goals per game. Lionel Messi scored a sublime late winner as champions Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid to return to the top of La Liga. Messi curled sweetly into the corner of Jan Oblak's goal from the edge of the penalty box with four minutes remaining for his 11th goal in 10 games. Marc-Andre ter Stegen had earlier made two magnificent saves to deny Mario Hermoso and Alvaro Morata for Atletico. Barcelona climb from third to move above Real Madrid on goal difference. SO CLOSE TO A SECOND! That would have been a stunning second goal by Barcelona with Messi set up by a back-heel from Griezmann, but the ball dribbles right across the line and wide of the far post! 45’ GOAL! Barcelona 2-0 Alaves (Vidal). Right on the stroke of half time, Barcelona double their advantage! Messi played the pass to Suarez on the edge of the box with Vidal then set up for the strike and the Chilean midfielder smashed a driven finish past Pacheco and into the far corner of the Alaves net! 51’ GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. While Bristol City have issues, problems are starting to build for Brentford. They had looked to have put their problems on the road behind them, but the Bees were beaten once again on the road on Sunday. They have now lost over half of their away trips after that 1-0 loss at Millwall – another side who are in the playoff mix. Ramsey famously described Martin Peters as being "ten years ahead of his time". As football shifted from the W formation to 4-2-4, midfielders were not seen as an attacking force, which was left to the wingers and strikers. In Peters, he had at his disposal a box-to-box midfielder posing a threat in attacking areas and laying a blueprint for future midfielders such as Bryan Robson, David Platt and Frank Lampard. Three points here will give Eibar the breathing space they need and we fancy them to hit back based on their prior victories against Sevilla (3-2) and Villarreal (2-1) at Ipurua, as well as Alaves' dismal away form. The Bees are now winless in their last four away games, with defeats in three of those. To make matters worse, they’ve been able to win at just one top half side on the road all season. With poor form behind them coming into this one, it is odd that the bookies are making Brentford the clear favourites for this clash.

Meanwhile, we are going for a 1-1 draw in this clash, which has landed in the previous two meetings between them. The Robins have drawn a third of their home games so far this season, while they’ve failed to win 60% of their league games this term. With under 2.5 goals landing in 62% of Brentford’s away trips – and in five of their last six head to head clashes – this one is likely to be tight, so a 1-1 draw is our pick. Leicester’s 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend made it six wins on the bounce for them, including an incredible 9-0 demolition of Southampton just over a month ago. That was one of four clean sheets in this period, and the eight goals they have conceded so far this season leaves them with the best defensive record in the top flight. Ibrahimovic move to Tottenham makes 'no sense' - MourinhoMourinho can win Spurs trophies - KaneTottenham reached last season's final, losing 2-0 to Liverpool, but made a bad start to the 2019-20 tournament as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 away against Olympiakos and then lost 7-2 at home to group leaders Bayern Munich. But back-to-back wins over Red Star Belgrade - 5-0 at home and 4-0 away in Serbia - leaves Spurs needing one more victory to take them into the knockout phase for a third successive season. However, Real showed their class and Eibar froze, resulting in a resounding 0-4 success for Los Blancos. The international break definitely came at the right time for Eibar on the back of that fixture, and Jose Luis Mendilibar will have been doing much to focus and prepare his squad for this Sunday's crucial encounter with Alaves over the past fortnight. As Ramsey shifted from 4-2-4 to his 'wingless wonders' in the second phase, he played a loose 4-1-3-2 with Nobby Stiles shutting down opposing attacking threat, Alan Ball industrially working the right flank and Bobby Charlton given license to burst forward with the ball with outstanding results. Peters helped hold the system together, capable of winning the ball and distributing effectively, covering for Charlton when he went forward and also arriving in the box undetected to score crucial goals. Both teams have scored in all of Betis' last six La Liga fixtures, and we're backing the same outcome at Mendizorroza this Sunday, based on how prolific the Los Verdiblancos attack have been in recent weeks, as well as Alaves' reliable forward line on home soil. We’re confident that Braga will win this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The visitors arrive in excellent form, the complete polar opposite tom their hosts who are in the midst of a dire losing streak. Aves have only picked up three points this season and it’s difficult to imagine anything but another defeat for the home side on Saturday. Madrid were beaten 1-0 at Alaves last season under Julen Lopetegui, and coach Zidane praised his side for digging deep in difficult decisions and getting the result they wanted this time round. We played with a lot of discipline, we knew we would have to fight and we did that and got the three points in a very tough stadium," said the Frenchman. Arsenal levelled just shy of the hour mark when Aubameyang fired Mesut Ozil’s corner via an effort from Mustafi for his 12th goal of the season. Two phenomenal saves from Leno protected parity in the game. First, Kenny McLean ran through and he tipped his shot onto the post, before Pukki left Mustafi bamboozled and went in search of his second. Read the full story Decision made for Sancho Jadon Sancho has reportedly revealed that he would prefer to join Liverpool over Manchester United if he leaves Borussia Dortmund, according to the Express. The 19-year-old has been linked with a transfer away from the Bundesliga club and could move as early as January due to being unhappy with his current treatment. This from anti-discriminatory body Fare: "Once again Italian football leaves the world speechless. It is difficult to see what Serie A was thinking, who did they consult? In a country in which the authorities fail to deal with racism week after week, Serie A have launched a campaign that looks like a sick joke. In stoppage time, Spurs struck completely against the run of play. Vertonghen proved decisive with a superb header from substitute Christian Eriksen’s corner as Spurs close in on Chelsea ahead of next weekend’s clash. TALKING POINT – Vertonghen saves the day for Spurs The Belgian really was given a torrid time by Traore, who had looked to be Wolves’ saviour. Setubal are yet to lose at home this season and Aves have lost all of their seven away games, with the hosts averaging 1.57 points per home game and the visitors yet to pick up a single point on the road. Setubal score an average of 0.43 goals per home game and concede an average of 0.14 goals while Aves score an average of 1.14 goals per away game and concede an average of 3.00 goals, but we are expecting another tight game in the Estu00e1dio do Bonfim which is why we have gone with a final scoreline of 1-0. Fulham are looking to win three consecutive league matches against Reading for the first time since April 1999 as they kick-off 2020. However, will they be denied that by a side who are on the up? There are worries for the Cottagers here, as they have to find a way through a Reading side who have been tough to break down in recent weeks. They have won three of their four Europa League games so far, one of which came in a 3-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt over in Germany. The visiting Bundesliga side are having an unusually tough time of it in the Europa League this term, and their defeat to Standard Liege last time out leaves them trailing the Belgians in the group. The hosts are hoping for a win to close the gap on the sides at the top of the table, as Fulham are just nine points shy after their win on Sunday. Will they be able to follow that up with a victory in this clash, or can Reading continue to impress with their great spell of form? Bristol City have won their last five home league games played on New Year's Day and they’re out to continue that good form with another strong result this week. They should have confidence when it comes to taking on the Bees, as manager Lee Johnson has edged this battle of late. Brentford manager Thomas Frank is winless in three previous Championship games against Bristol City (D2 L1).

No public figure in Sweden has a greater ability to steer the domestic and international news agenda than Zlatan Ibrahimovic, so when the country's record goalscorer released an 11-second video clip on Tuesday in which his name was unveiled on the back of a Hammarby shirt, the shockwaves were instant. In Sweden, journalists and fans alike scrambled to try and figure out the meaning: Was Ibrahimovic, the best paid player in Major League Soccer, really coming to humble Hammarby? International onlookers had a more straightforward question: Who are Hammarby? Less than a day later it was revealed that Ibrahimovic had not joined the Stockholm side as a player - he insists that he will never return to the Allsvenskan - but had instead purchased a quarter of their shares.
