I expect Fulham to win this match, however, the key reason for my pick is connect with Aston Villa. The guests were good during the festive period. They won two of the three matches in that period, but suffered a big blow. Villa manager Dean Smith has lost two important players - striker Wesley and goalkeeper Heaton. Both players had scans on Thursday and the news were bad - they will be sidelined for a longer period, from six to nine months. According to me, they are irreplaceable. Heaton has missed just one of Villa's 21 Premier League games this season, while Wesley has started them all, scoring five goals and assisting one. Don't forget last season's player of the year John McGinn was ruled out until March with a broken ankle suffered in December. Having on mind that, I think Aston Villa will lose this match.

Vicki Sparks (BBC Match of the Day and Radio 5 Live commentator) - Vivianne Miedema (3)England has had a great season but if you look at what Miedema has done on the world stage too, she has been unreal.

You see it on the international stage with the Netherlands too because the way those teams play just suits Miedema's style so well.
For both Norwich goals, Arsenal's current central defenders played a passive role. With the opener, David Luiz was not tight enough to prevent Pukki from turning once he had reached Kenny McLean's ball forward. The Brazilian and his defensive partner Mustafi compounded matters by standing off and inviting the Finland forward to shoot. For Norwich's second, Cantwell was allowed to run towards the Arsenal goal and Mustafi remained stationary as the England Under-21 international placed his effort into the far right corner from the left of the area.
In the eyes of the bookies, Leeds were the coming force of British football. In the eyes of the English media, Celtic were a fading power, fortunate to get past Benfica and unlikely to live with Leeds, who'd scored 24 goals en route to the semi-final and had conceded none. Celtic, it was written, had played 14 European Cup games since the glories of Lisbon and had won only five. All of this put into evidence of why Leeds were going to win this tie.

Not many clubs want to sell players that they would otherwise want to keep in January. Maybe one or two could be a loan deal but that is not a big money thing, it is just to help the team. Paper Round’s view: Oddly, United’s biggest move of 2020 could come early on in the year because Jadon Sancho does appear unsettled at Borussia Dortmund, and there could be a chance to bring him in six months ahead of the planned summer transfer.

The club's financial problems - which some fans lay at Rachier's door - began late last year when betting firm SportPesa withdrew their sponsorship of the club following a local ruling which raised taxes on gambling stakes.

Make the rest of the games 0-0 Barnet and Stockport would swap places once againHow about every game not played is declared a goalless draw?
