When he [Minamino] starts to play, he'll just fit. And he'll make a big impact on other Japanese players. Minamino's inclusion in Liverpool's starting XI was met by an eruption of euphoria inside the pub when announced on social media. Despite a quiet first game for the Reds, Japanese fans were still enthused about Minamino's prospects at Anfield. What's amazing is that he's signing for Liverpool right now when they're the best team in the world.
Liverpool are outright favorites going to this game, not only by their dominance in the season but also by their home record and run against West Ham. They have scored 11 goals in their last five home league matches, averaging two goals per game, while they have not conceded any. West Ham on the other hand, go to this clash on four straight away league losses and having conceded two or more in three of those. They lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the first leg and have not beaten Liverpool in the last seven meetings. Back Liverpool for a 2-0 win here.

Several announcements were made over Tottenham's public address system saying "racist behaviour from spectators is interfering with the game" while referee Anthony Taylor stopped the game to talk to the players.

Home side should be favorites at this time, since they are fighting relegation's and are coming after recent away victory in the season. They are in much better form, participating to Arsenal, which made to hard defeats, from Manchester City and Brighton.
Reading will host Hull City for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Reading have advantage at home stadium. However, they are not convincing team in the last matches. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. Also, we have Hull City who's is also not very good team. They have four consecutive losses. Yeah, the visitors have a poor results. I expect, they will try to break the poor series. I expect, another one tough match for both sides. My pick - Hull City to win.
The Portuguese forward had scored 42 in 49 in 2007-08 as United won the Premier League and Champions League. And so began a personal duel with Lionel Messi, breaking all sorts of goalscoring records along the way, with Ronaldo winning the Ballon d'Or again in 2013 and helping Real win the Champions League in four out of five years. He joined Juventus in 2018, winning Serie A in his first season. Wright: "He's done it in different leagues and continually pushes himself.
David Wagner's team turned up the heat after halftime with Suat Serdar slotting in from a Gregoritsch pass in the 48th minute.

Ajax comes from 2 disappointing performances, having lost the first leg of this clash vs Getafe by 2-0 and having also been beaten by a poor team like Heracles (1-0) in the last Eredivisie round. Getafe will have the target to score once above all, because it should be enough to qualify to the next round, but Ajax is one of the most offensive teams in the whole Europe and scoring twice or even more seems to be possible for them. Ajax has scored twice or more in 5 out of the last 6 home games, so an Over here is really likely in my opinion.
This is easy bet and one of the safest for the whole day cause Exeter is first of all in better shape than Newport and also Exeter is very strong team at home with a lot of goals scored and on the other side,Newport is also much better at home than on the road and visitors won 70% of their points at home this season so I really could not expect a lot from them today and even if they do manage to score a goal,I think they Will still lose the game so I surely want to recommend this bet
Clyde will play against Stranraer in the Scottish league one. Here, I believe in good chances for the home team to pick up a win. I think the guests are having a hard time, they are meeting a good home team that looks better on paper than the guests who do not come in the best shape either. There is a big difference between playing at home and abroad, which is why odds of 1.90 on home team also seem well paid. I see a good value here. I expect a home win who has lost only once in 7 matches.
They have seven wins, five losses and three clean sheets in their last 15 matches. They have scored in 12 of the 15 matches and scored two or more in nine of them.

They are led in attack by a rotating cast of free scoring forwards including Spain international Mikel Oyarzabal, Sweden striker Alexander Isak and former Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj plus Brazilian striker Willian Jose. Sociedad's recent barnstorming run has included a 4-3 away win over Real Madrid and a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Champions League Valencia, while playing a thrilling style of football based on slick passing that must have Barca looking on in envy.
Bournemouth suffered their 5th loss in a row in the league as they lost with no less than 3-0 at home with the league leaders from Liverpool last round and they were also 3-0 down at Tottenham in a recent away game but then they managed to score 2 goals and lost just 3-2 in the end and although the defense of Chelsea can be weak at times like they were last round while losing 3-1 away at Everton, the attack of Chelsea is really top quality and they cannot afford to lose points as Manchester Utd and Tottenham are closing the difference at this moment.

But Norwich hit back when Ryan Sessegnon brought down Max Aarons inside the box and Teemu Pukki fired the spot-kick beyond Hugo Lloris, who made his return after three months out with a dislocated shoulder.

Kodjia again from close range to make it four. This is starting to get cruel. Great play from Jota to set up Elmohamady, who threaded the ball across for Kodjia to score his second of the game. SAVE!

Slavia Res. will host Torpedo Zhodino Res. for this fixture of the league. Both teams are not very good teams in this league. I expect another one tough match for both sides. True, I believe, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Zhodino 2 are currently on the 8th place with 11 points. I think, Zhodino 2 have a chance to get all three points. Also, we have Slavia 2 who's is one of the worst teams in this league. Hosts have less potential. Also, they have a very vulnerable defense. They are currently on the 14th place with 4 points. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium.

HEROES AND ZEROES Hero: Magnus Carlsen The best chess player in the world was also (briefly) the best fantasy football player in the world.

I hope people understand why we made 11 changes.
