Les Verts conceded eleven goals in their final five games of the decade with even teams like goal-shy Reims putting three past three Puel's men; for reference at how poor a defeat this was, Reims scored 19% of their league goals this season in that single match. Saint-Étienne's only recent victory came in the Coupe de la Ligue against Nîmes but apart from that there has been little for their fans to celebrate. That victory over Nîmes is their only away win in their last five matches so they will have to be extremely careful here as they travel to Corsica.
The Merseyside club are European champions and top the Premier League by eight points, as they look to end a three-decade wait for a domestic league title. Yet Pep Guardiola's City, who are currently fourth in the table and nine points adrift, have won the past two Premier League titles and Richards anticipates another tense battle to the finish line with Liverpool.
Then on New Year's Day, they go to league leaders West Bromwich Albion, so a return to winning ways here would be appreciated. Leeds have drawn two and lost one of their last three league games. It's a jittery spell but they are in the second automatic promotion spot and eight points clear of third placed Brentford.
Basaksehir have won six of their last seven matches at home in the Super Lig. Basaksehir have won four of last six home matches by at least two goals. Gaziantep have failed to win five of their last seven Super Lig matches. Football can be a gut-wrenching game and you would need a strong stomach to withstand the twists and turns of the Super Lig title race.
in the 17th round of the Austrian Bundesliga, Wolfsberger hosts Lask Linz. Both teams have had setbacks recently and they welcome this match as a chance for improvement. Wolfsberger dropped out of the Europa League and they lost some matches in the league. They lost 4 of the last actually. They have 30 points so far and they are the discovery of the season. They are a resilient home side but they will miss one of their key players today - Schmid. Lask lost 4:0 at home to Rapid but the loss is overhyped. They had chances to score and even a draw wouldn`t have been unlikely. They will miss their first scorer Goiginger which is a big blow but goals are coming from everywhere in Alaska. Lask has 8-0-0 away from home which says a lot about their game. I believe they can win here.
After a disappointing defeat by Wolves on Saturday, they were back to their bustling best on Tuesday night as they dominated for long periods. Hasenhuttl's men were a constant threat down the left, with the Eagles unable to deal with the pace and trickery of Redmond, nor the overlapping Ryan Bertrand.
The 37-year-old is also yet to manage a club himself. In this instance, he alone would be the main man responsible for turning around Arsenal’s fortunes – a tough and unenviable task given they are at their lowest ebb in decades. A more natural step for Arteta would have been to take charge of another former club, but Everton have bigger ambitions.

However, he had struggled to ignite Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and with Arsenal, deployed so many different tactical systems that the side often looked as though they had no plan at all. When you combine that with a manager whose communication skills were said to be so poor that coach Freddie Ljungberg was often mentioned as the one who would end up trying to explain things to the squad.

Vitebsk will host Slavia Mozyr for this fixture of the league. I believe, both teams are very average teams in this league. However, Vitebsk have better results in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 10 points. Also, I think, this is a very unpredictable league. Yeah, Vitebsk have advantage at home stadium. However, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Slavia who's is a very unpredictable team. The visitors have big fluctuations. They have two consecutive losses. Nevertheless, the visitors will be in this game to try to pick up all three points.

We’re backing a 2-1 win for Woking and believe that a draw is the best Maidenhead can hope for this weekend which is why we have gone with a double chance bet on the visitors.
Al Ansar will host Al Taee for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. However, the hosts are in better shape in the last matches. They have two consecutive victories. In previous game Al Ansar is won 1-2 against Al-Nahda. Also, we have Al Taee who's is more ambitious team in this league. I think, the visitors have better team than their opponent. In last game Al Taee is won 5-0 against weak Hottain. However, Al Taee is a very unpredictable team. They have big fluctuations. In any case, I expect, the hosts to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Al Ansar to win.
However, Ferdinand defended his decision not to jump ship. At that point Messi was only 20, Xavi and Iniesta were just starting to come through.

Getty Images The next step? He has to work out what to do when teams set themselves up to counter his high-intensity style of football by sitting deep and catching his naïve team on the counter. And unfortunately he has to do that fast.
