3. ROCK-SOLID REDS!

If Man. United are to win this game, they’ll have to become the first away team to score at Anfield since the start of December! Liverpool haven’t conceded at home since they beat Everton 5-2, with Joe Gomez’s recent re-introduction to the starting line-up playing a massive role. Can The Red Devils find a way through, or will it be another shutout for The Reds?

4. RED DEVILS COUNTER!

nited’s best chance of getting esult will be to rely on rapid o ttacks. Liverpool have bossed han 60% possession in their la ive head-to-heads, but they w aught out by Rashford’s pace afford in October – and Ole u olskjaer’s side produced a cou ttacking masterclass against ri an. City in the PL last month t

5. FIRING FRONT THREE?

Liverpool’s lethal front three have torn apart every single Premier League team over the last few seasons – well... apart from Man. United! Sadio Mane opened the scoring in last campaign’s 3-1 victory, but Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have never bagged a Prem goal against The Red Devils. Can they change that on Sunday?

O will rock!

Liverpool know better than anyone how deadly the Japan hero can be in Europe’s biggest tournament – he bagged a goal and an assist at Anfield in October! He’ll give them real strength in depth as they battle to retain the world-famous trophy!

Minamino will give Jurgen Klopp loads of options! The new signing can play on either wing or up front, so he can cover any of Liverpool’s wicked front three, or Klopp can switch formation and get all four of them into the side!

6 MATCH!

We’ll see hundreds of millions of pounds spent in this transfer window, but very few clubs will get better value for money than Liverpool have got with Minamino.

Landing a proven CL performer for less than £8 million is an absolute bargain!

TRANSFER BATTLE!

North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are going head-to-head to land a key transfer target! Gossips say they’re preparing bids for Norwich hero Max Aarons!

WINKS WANTED!

Another transfer battle that could take place in 2020 is for Harry Winks! Man. City and Man. United have both been linked with a move for the England midfielder!

This weekend sees the start of a new head-to-head in the WSL! Arsenal’s VIVIANNE MIEDEMA was the best striker in the league in 2019, but now she has a challenger – Chelsea’s SAM KERR! Check out the forwards’ sick stats...

WHAT I GENK DEBUT!

KEVIN SAYS: “My debut shirt w way too big for me – I was a you L n L, skinny guy and they gave me an but I still have the shirt at home!”

JOINING WOLFSBURG!

KEVIN SAYS: “I just wanted to play and not be loaned out all the time!

I didn’t get the chance at Chelsea, so I decided I needed a new team – and Wolfsburg really wanted me!”

CITY’S 100-POINT SEASON!

KEVIN SAYS: “We were champions for four weeks and out of all the cups, but we still fought for the last five games to reach 100 points!”

FIRST BELGIUM SHIRT!

KEVIN SAYS: “It’s weird – you’re in the shirt with the national anthem going and it’s like, ‘Wow, I’m playing for my country!’ I felt happy to have one cap, but I’m still honoured now.

We’re a small country, but we have a good generation at the moment and we’ll try to win the Euros this year!”

boot leaks

BYE BYE, BALL! Footy ball boffins reckon Nike’s yellow High-Vis winter football is getting scrapped in February – and a new orange one is gonna take its place!

It looks like 2020 could be the year New Balance release their first-ever high-cut laceless footy boots! We’re expecting these jaw-dropping Tekela cleats to be dropped in the first half of this year – and we can’t wait!

NB are also looking to update their wicked Furons this year! The nextgeneration boots remind MATCH of Nike’s Mercurial Vapor kicks, and spies reckon the technology is gonna be pretty similar as well!

8 MATCH!

BLUES BELTER!

Kit spies reckon the colour of Chelsea’s 2020-21 third jersey has already been decided! It’ll be pale blue, like the one they wore when they won the 2005-06 title!

THREE LIONS THREADS!

Shirt spies also think they know what the England Euros jersey will look like – it’ll have the Three Lions crest in the middle, with a classy blue and red collar!

adidas have already released a blackout pack this year, and it looks like Nike are gonna follow in their rival’s ‘bootsteps’!

The bright blue Swoosh really stands out against the black background!

Boot spies reckon these next-generation Nike PhantomVSN boots are gonna be released very soon – and the designers have totally changed the look of the silo! Do you prefer them to the old ones?

Nike released their first-ever Dream Speed cleats in 2019, and promised to release a second edition in 2020! Spies reckon this is their chosen colourway – a bright yellow and green mix!

MATCHMAN OF THE MONTH

This was a six-pointer between two teams in the relegation zone, so The Saints had to start well – and it was Ings who fired in the opener !

He glanced in a header from a Jam es Ward-Prowse free-kick to set tle his side’s nerves, and help them move out of the relegation places!

e’s opener Once again, Ings scored the gam in a row – and it was the fifth Prem match a run to that he’d busted net in! He timed rtin per fection, before slotting past Ma es gpi Ma e Dubravka, but watched as Th in the came back to nick the three points g! ttin Gu last five minutes of the match.

On another day, the le thal striker would have bagged a brace, but it just wasn’t his lucky game against The Hammers!

He hit the woodwork not once, but twice, in the last 20 m inutes of the match, and left the pitc h frustrated as his team fell to anot her defeat...

JACK GREALISH

WILFRIED ZAHA

MF ★ Aston Villa

MF ★ c. palace

Grealish is on flames right now, and has scored in his last three games against Aston Villa’s next opponents Brighton, so get him in ASAP!

A trip to Man. City could mean a quiet weekend for Wilf.

If you don’t fancy Traore or Grealish, get on Maddison, Mount or Richarlison!

£6.4 million

ADAMA TRAORE

£6.8 million

DELE ALLI

MF ★ Wolves

MF ★ Tottenham

Traore recently completed the most dribbles ever recorded in a single Prem game – and we’re expecting more this week!

Tottenham lost at Watford last season, and The Hornets have improved under Nigel Pearson, so Dele might be one to chop this weekend!

£5.6 million

£8.8 million

DANNY INGS

MARCUS RASHFORD

£6.7 million

£9.1 million

FW ★ Southampton Red-hot Ings is an FPL must right now, and he could even be in with a shout of an England callup if he keeps up this scoring form!

fw ★ Man. United

Rashford is always capable of some magic, but away to Liverpool is as tough as it gets right now.

Get in Aubameyang or Vardy instead!

Prices correct at time of printing and are likely to fluctuate.

WEEKLY TOP 20!

FIFA 20 ZONE MY NEXT CLUB – ARSENAL

STARS

BOARD

TOP TIP

Arsenal have tons of big names, but their key players are the youngsters with world-class potential! Keep faith with the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Kieran Tierney, Matteo Guendouzi and Bukayo Saka, and their OVRs will reach the high 80s. Sick!

There’s loads of money to spend at Arsenal, but the board want you to make even more! Their top priority is to bring in money from shirt sales, and the best way to do that is to sign a big-name star.

We went for Real Madrid CAM Isco!

Don’t be afraid to clear out big names!

It’s hard to fit Aubameyang, Lacazette, Ozil and Pepe into the team, and they all earn over £100K-a-week, so get them off the wage bill and sign some fresh talent in defence and midfield to replace them!

THE G AFFER

THIS WEEK: SWINDON

RICHIE WELLENS The ex-Man. United midfielder arrived at Swindon last season, but had to wait until the summer to build his own team. He’s signed over 20 players to create a side that’s dominating League Two, including wicked free transfers Fryers and Caddis!

Benda

Caddis

Baudry

Fryers

Hunt

STAR M AN

EOIN DOYLE Woolery

Grant

Doughty

Anderson

Doyle was the first player in the Football League to reach 20 goals, and did it in just 21 matches! He went on a mind-boggling 11-game scoring streak, has already hit his personal best tally for goals in a single season and is on course to reach 30 goals!

ONE TO WATCH

Doyle

FACTFILE Nickname: The Robins Date founded: 1879 Stadium: County Ground Capacity: 15,728 Did You Know? They’re one of three League Two teams that have played in the PL!

46 MATCH!

Yates

PLAYING STYLE Swindon are set up to get service for on-loan goal machine Eoin Doyle. Their midfielders have plenty of creativity, with everyone bagging assists, while full-back Rob Hunt flies forward to get involved!

KESHI ANDERSON Whatever happens during the rest of this campaign, Anderson probably won’t be a League Two player next season! The tricky ex-Crystal Palace star has been one of Swindon’s most dangerous players this year, bagging loads of goals and assists!

CUS

WILBRAHAM The 40-year-old Rochdale striker has now scored in 22 of the last 23 years – what a total legend!

SUNDERLAND

EFL’S MOST WANTED!

The Black Cats picked up their first home win this month since the beginning of November. Wow!

HOLLOWAY New Grimsby manager Ian Holloway won his first match in charge of the strugglers!

SAID BENRAHMA BRENTFORD Both Benrahma and his Bees strike partner Ollie Watkins have been linked with moves away from Griffin Park this season, with Aston Villa keen on the dynamic attacking duo! Brentford don’t want to lose Benrahma, but they can’t afford to turn down a £25 million offer for the quality Algerian!

HOT OR

NOT

JUDE BELLINGHAM BIRMINGHAM Bellingham’s only 16, but he’s already a regular in the Blues line-up – and busted net twice in his first three Championship games! That’s why he’s getting attention from all over Europe – Bayern Munich and Dortmund are battling Premier League sides Man. United, Arsenal and Newcastle for him!

JOHNSON Bristol City manager Lee Johnson is under tons of pressure after a string of bad results!

JACK BUTLAND

FISHER The Preston right-back was booked in 11 of his first 18 appearances in 2019-20!

STOKE We’re surprised that Butland has stayed in the EFL for so long – on his day, he’s one of the best keepers in the country!

Aston Villa are shopping in the Football League for a new goalkeeper with Tom Heaton out injured for the rest of the season, and could raid The Potters for the England goalie!

IPSWICH After a sick start, The Tractor Boys are in danger of slipping out of the League One play-off places!

MATCH! 47

At the start of December, Watford looked certain to be relegated, but new boss Nigel Pearson has helped turned their fortunes around – The Hornets have a 100% home Prem record since he arrived! On the other hand, Tottenham have only won two of their last 17 away games in the Prem, so this will be tough for Jose Mourinho’s men!

After an eight-game unbeaten run at home, The Magpies have since lost two in a row at St. James’ Park, and need to rediscover their best form if they’re going to stay up.

A win v Chelsea would be a massive boost, and they could be playing The Blues at the right time – they haven’t picked up back-toback PL wins since the start of November!

48 MATCH!

Boro face their second game in London in four days, with their FA Cup replay v Tottenham taking place on Tuesday!

It’ll take a gigantic slip-up for Leeds to throw away promotion from here – but can QPR derail The Whites’ title charge?

Forest have only managed 14 goals at the City Ground this campaign – one of the worst home records in the league!

Turf Moor used to be a fortress for The Clarets, but they’ve lost more matches than they’ve won there this PL season!

Two of the most star-studded teams in the WSL are battling it out for the title, so this should be a great one to watch!

Hertha are unbeaten in their last three home games v Bayern in the Bundesliga – can they upset the champions again?

Granada stunned Barça in September, beating them 2-0 at home! Can Lionel Messi and co. get their revenge here?

West Brom should be confident ahead of this game – they’ve only lost one of their last ten matches against Stoke!

Since losing 1-0 to Man. United in 2016, Liverpool have only lost two other PL games at Anfield!

The Premier League’s biggest grudge match kicks off on Sunday! These two have won more league titles than anybody else in the country, but only one of them has a chance of adding to that tally this year. Liverpool fans will be hoping for a good win against their rivals at Anfield, after being held to a frustrating draw at Old Trafford in October!

MATCH! 49

We can see Watford’s decent form continuing, and they’ll take a point!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

1-1

This is a key clash at the bottom of the table – we’re backing Brighton!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

1-0

The Canaries will grab a valuable win against their fellow strugglers!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

2-0

Both teams have changed their gaffers since their last meeting!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

0-1

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

2-0

There will be no repeat of Andros Townsend’s heroics from 2018-19!

These two will cancel each other out – like they did back in October!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

1-1

The Magpies will battle their way to a hard-earned point v The Blues!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

1-1

Burnley’s poor home form means this will be an easy Foxes victory!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

0-2

The Cottagers have definitely got enough quality to win this match!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

2-0

Hertha’s ace home record v Bayern will continue with another point!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

The Baggies have ripped it up this season and should cruise to a win!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

United will make life tough for The Reds, and could even grab a draw!

MATCH SAYS YOU SAY

We’re looking forward to an even clash – and we’re expecting goals!

We’d be shocked if Granada do the double over Barcelona this season!

MATCH looks back through the football history books…

the scene...

In the 1993-94 season, Man. United were 14 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and totally running away with the title – just like Liverpool are this campaign! The Red Devils had also never lost to the home side in the Prem at this point in time...

WHAT CAME NEXT? WHAT HAPPENED? United stormed ahead, with goals from Bruce, Giggs and Irwin inside the first 24 minutes! Their 3-0 lead didn’t last long, though – Liverpool’s Clough got two goals back before the half-time whistle, and then Ruddock got an epic equaliser in the game’s closing stages!

The Red Devils’ confidence didn’t take too much of a hit – they went on to win the title, finishing eight points ahead of runners-up Blackburn! The Reds finished in eighth, just behind Sheffield Wednesday and Wimbledon, who then stopped existing in 2004!

footy in...

Man. United lift the FA Cup! Peter Schmeichel, Leicester GK Kasper’s dad, was in goal for The Red Devils!

USA host the 1994 World Cup, with Brazil beating Italy on penalties after a tense final finishes 0-0!

Pep Guardiola is a key member of the Barcelona side that thrashes Man. United 4-0 at the Nou Camp!
