But with that trio out injured, the more senior frontline, including Willian, appeared rejuvenated on Sunday and all scored. Those will be lessons that Lampard, still in his second season of management, will learn from. He is also acutely aware of how much more Chelsea need to improve. A quick look at the Premier League table - where Liverpool are 34 points better off than his team - or the sobering first-leg Champions League defeat by Bayern Munich, or the recent form of Manchester United, means he still thinks his team are underdogs for a top-four place.
Hosts have 40 points and are sitting on 3rd place in the league mainly thanks to having scored the 3rd most goals so far in the league, 42 goals total but they have also conceded more than 30 goals as their defense is really not to be trusted and I see Zlin capable of even scoring 2+ goals in this one as in the 3 friendly games they have played during this pandemic break they scored 12 times winning even 5-0 away at top second league club Brno a few days ago a game which I watched and they simply attacked non-stop and kept on scoring goals.
I looked at their recent performances and their styles of play, as well as other factors while I was crafting my selection. Both of these teams started this season differently, so this game is not easy to predict with many circumstances involved. If we take everything we said, it points a home victory for Levante with under 2.5 goals scored.

Madrid have failed to win their opening league game of the new year in the last two seasons but Zidane said his side feel refreshed after their two-week break and are looking forward to getting back to playing.

Guardiola approach is vindicated The heatmaps of both teams give you an idea of the home side's dominance. Manchester City (left) played most of their football in Leicester's territory, while the Foxes (right) struggled to get out of their own half. Pep Guardiola's side had 63% of possession, managed 23 shots to Leicester's five and played 684 passes to 397 by the visitors, who had just 10 touches in the opposition area compared to 47 by the hostsThe way Manchester City lost the derby earlier this month might have made some managers adopt a more conservative approach against a side with Vardy in their ranks - not Guardiola, however.
They are playing poorly and will do well to beat an extremely organised defensive Atletico Madrid outfit on Wednesday, further dampening spirits. In an ideal world they will at least have the chance to clinch the title at Goodison Park or at the Etihad Stadium a few weeks later, but it could well be an unglamorous home match with Crystal Palace when they secure the title, leading to Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush being handed (well-washed) onions in the stand to peel in a vain attempt to provide moment of victory with the emotional scene it deserves.
A very interesting match between Dinamo Minsk and Torpedo Zhodino in Belarus in the weekend. Both teams are in great form at the start of this season and are at the top of the table. However, I think Dinamo Minsk has a better team and therefore my proposal will be that the home team will win this game.

Burnley secured their first Premier League win in their last 11 visits to London (D1 L9) and just their fourth overall in the capital in the competition (31 games).
My favourite player cannot be a City player, though, so I am going with Paul Pogba. Why? On his day, he is unstoppable. Avelino, whose latest song Higher Power is out now, has been frustrated by United's up-and-down form this season - and thinks Paul Pogba could help provide the solution. Nothing comes as a surprise to me with United this season," he told BBC Sport. I have been saying for a while that, in the bigger games, we tend to do all right.

Erwin finds late winner for County against Kilmarnock Late goals are costing Livingston important pointsLivingston were in complete control of Saturday's game at St Mirren at half-time when they walked down the tunnel with a 2-1 lead.

However, two goals from Jon Obika turned the game on its head in a manner Livingston fans must surely be getting infuriated by.

Victory kept alive Oxford's hopes of returning to the second tier for the first time since 1999, while Pompey's narrow defeat ensured they will face a ninth consecutive season playing below the Championship. Monday's late drama saw the Hampshire club exit the play-offs at the semi-final stage for a second straight year, after their defeat by Sunderland over two legs in 2019. Oxford and Pompey had been level on points in the table before the coronavirus pandemic saw football suspended in March, both sitting just two points off an automatic promotion place, and they were placed fourth and fifth respectively when the division was curtailed using an average points-per-game system.

Despite losing at Strasbourg, Nantes are in good shape in the league. The hosts are in fifth in Ligue 1, with just two points between them and the Champions League. Their record this term has been built on strong results at home, while we expect them to continue that form through this Coupe de la Ligue clash on Wednesday night.
After playing in the Champions League group stage this season, Lille is fighting once more for the 3rd spot in the league standings and currently with 37 points they are just 3 points behind the 4th placed club Rennes which they defeated last round at home with 1-0, while two rounds ago they played away from home at Strasbourg where they also won the game but with 2-1 in the end, so two wins in a row for Lille at this moment and they should be coming here looking for 3 more points.
When Manchester City set a record total of 100 points in 2017-18, they did so at a rate of 2. The Reds won nine straight fixtures at the end of last season but still missed out on the title to City.

Cadiz will host Alcorcon for this fixture of the league. No doubt, the hosts are favorites in this match. Cadiz is very ambitious team in this campaign. Cadiz are currently on the 1st position with 60 points. Of course, they want to stay in the race for the direct promotion. Also, we have Alcorcon who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 11th place with 44 points. Algernon is a very unpredictable team. They have highly variable results. Nevertheless, I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance in this match. My pick - Alcorcon to win.
Their leading scorer Tammy Abraham, who has scored 13 league goals this season, was guilty of some missed opportunities. However, his team mates offered little in terms of a threat in the final third, with only four of Chelsea's 19 shots at goal finding the target.

But the former Juve youngster failed to reproduce that form during underwhelming stints in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and Spain with Sevilla. However, that loan spell with Torino paved the way for a permanent return to Italy with Lazio, and it was that which kick-started Immobile's career at the age of 26. He scored 26 goals in 2016-17 and followed that up with 41 in all competitions in 2017-18, and despite a dip last term, Sunday's goal at Genoa took him to 116 goals in 166 games for Lazio.
