Laporte has been absent since August, when he suffered a knee injury against Brighton. He has been training with the first-team squad for a couple of weeks and although Guardiola has ruled the 25-year-old out of the Palace game, it is understood he may be in contention for a return when City host Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round on 26 January.
Tottenham were outplayed by Leipzig, whose goal was scored by Timo Werner, although they improved after Dele Alli and Gedson Fernandes were replaced by Lamela and Ndombele.

Direct from injury to recovery with physios and then direct to 20 minutes in the Champions League.
Referee Steven MacLean was having a difficult night and Rangers midfielder Jack may well have been lucky to only see a yellow after a high challenge on Michael Smith. But just as the first half was petering out the game burst into action. As Steven Naismith raced towards the Rangers goal, defender George Edmundson clearly used his left arm to help usher the ball away from danger.

Juventus have already secured top spot in Group D and will have little to play for. The Italians may opt to rest key players, in the wake of the shaky run they have had in the last two matches. This should be an advantage to Bayer Leverkusen, who are playing at home in a must win game. Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in six matches ahead of this clash and have done well at home recently. They will be looking to take full advantage of this as they pray for an Atletico Madrid loss. Playing at home, against a side with nothing to lose, and on the back of their recent form, we feel Bayer Leverkusen will win this game.
Struggling teams can often rely on superior home form, though Stanley haven’t exactly thrived on their own patch this term, taking just one point more at home than they have on the road. Fortunately, Coleman’s men haven’t been overly easy to beat at Crown Ground, losing three out of eight, losing just one of their last four, conceding a respectable four goals in the process. They lost last time out at this venue, but as they were on top throughout, bettering their opponents in terms of shots, shots on target and chances created, Accrington were unlucky and thus shouldn’t be judged too harshly. Prior to their 1-0 defeat against the Gills, they beat high-flyers Ipswich by two goals to nil at this venue, so they can do the business, even against the better teams.

The signs certainly don’t look promising from a Burnley point of view here, and to make matters worse they have a pretty terrible record against Leicester, winning just two of their nine Premier League meetings with the Foxes. All things considered, we think a Leicester Win looks good value for money on Sunday.
Inter were also without goalkeeper and captain Samir Handanovic so they gave a rare outing to Daniele Padelli. Udinese created enough chances to have had a first-half lead. Seko Fofana fired into the side netting while Ashley Young did well to block Jens Stryger-Larsen’s shot and Rodrigo De Paul had a chance in first-half stoppage time but shot straight at defender Alessandro Bastoni.

In their recent matches, Nimes have done well at home; with three straight home wins, they will feel they have what it takes to bring down Marseille. The performance away to Rennes should give them the needed motivation, though they have been lucky in recent matches, beating teams with men sent off. They face a Marseille side with a good away run, who also want a win to make up for their loss the last time out. In their three competitive meetings, these two sides have both scored thus raising the goals to over 2.5 goals. However, going to this game, they have each seen lesser goals in their matches home or away. Of Marseille’s last four away matches, just one has produced over 2.5 goals, while the same is the case for Nimes at home. With their results at home, and away, we are backing this one to end in a draw, though Under 2.5 goals could also pass.

JOTA SLIP! Jota jinks his way through Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka and Maguire, and the striker bears down on goal before slipping and aiming a woeful shot! 58’ - FERNANDES FREE KICK!

The former Real Betis and Las Palmas coach was chosen for his devotion to the attacking ideas of Barca's spiritual Godfather Johan Cruyff, although he has never lifted a major trophy as a manager, a record he is keen to put right.

The most impressive thing about the side in recent weeks has been their defence, with the team keeping four clean sheets in a row.

Bayern maintained their point lead with a 4-1 win at Koln last weekend and are now unbeaten in their last eight league games since a defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach in early December.

Haaland is the Real deal Real Madrid are planning to make a move for Borussia Dortmund teenager Erling Braut Haaland, despite the fact that the Norwegian only recently joined the Bundesliga club in January. According to the Sun, Los Blancos are planning for the future with Karim Benzema now 32 years old.
The hosts’ poor form is largely down to their inability to find the back of the net and they come into this match having failed to score in three of their last four matches. When you factor in that they have conceded 33 times this season, a record which is the fourth worst in the division, then it is easy to see why their issues are so severe.

Then, the Premier League would at least be able to negotiate with domestic - not overseas as they already get additional games - broadcasters Sky and BT by offering more live games than is stipulated within their contracts. In their joint letter, Uefa, the ECA and the Leagues have indicated domestic competitions will be played before pan-European ones, which means games could take place every day and at any time.
We’re going to try to be in the market to see options that can strengthen the team,” Arteta said. My obligation is to give my opinion and see if there are things we can improve. Obviously we have some bad injuries, like Calum a few days ago, and that’s going to change our plans at the back but the reality at the moment is that we are not going to be able to do much.
Lille are enjoying a fine campaign, that cannot be denied, though they have had a slight wobble of late. Prior to France's brief winter break, the side that currently sits 4th in Ligue 1 was battered by Monaco, conceding five goals on route to an untimely defeat. Christophe Galtier's men did bounce back to beat lower-level opposition in the Coupe de France on Sunday, but they weren't overly convincing, as they conceded twice and won by just a single goal.
