Atalanta raced to a two-goal lead before being pegged back to 2-2 by halftime but then scored three more in a devastating 15-minute spell early in the second half and added another two late in the game for good measure.

Relive Sheffield Wednesday late win over Bristol CityHis players will surely feel hard done by that their latest loss hinged on a controversial decision by referee Tony Harrington, although with just one shot on goal they did not deserve to win the game at Hillsborough.

Udinese’s woes could get worse, as Lazio look to reintroduce Ciro Immobile to the starting line up. Immobile has scored 15 league goals this season: only four Italian players have netted at least 15 goals before the 1st of December in a single Serie A season. The Italian striker has scored six goals in eight league games against Udinese: among the sides he has faced more than five times in Serie A, the Friuliani are, alongside Sassuolo (10), one of the only two sides against whom the Lazio striker has never lost. We expect him to follow up on that form and score here.
We feel that this game is likely to deliver plenty of goals. Werder Bremen currently sit in 15th place in the Bundesliga table.

They have also scored over 1.5 goals in 53% of their Bundesliga games.

January has always been difficult. It's not something you do just like that. I am happy with the ones I have here.

Asked about King's link with United and whether the 28-year-old could move before Friday's 23:00 GMT deadline, Howe said: "I am not going to deny anything you have read.

Wolfsberger AC is going to face Salzburg. The hosts lost two matches in a row and they conceded 6 goals while scored only 3. They are playing so badly in the defensive and today I think that Salzburg will dominate and win against them by more than 3 goals. In this match, we can expect even 5 goals as the hosts are so bad. Salzburg won the previous match 3:1 against LASK and 5:0 against Sturm Graz. The visitors are the best team in Austria and I see them win another title. Salzburg got the best players and they should score here 4 goals
While Chelsea are the front runners for his signature there is a chance for Arsenal to get in and take the player if they get an offer in soon.

Winger Leroy Sane is City's only other major absentee but the German, out since August with knee ligament damage, stepped up his comeback with 57 minutes for the under-23s on Friday.
Given the defensive credentials of Thursday's opposition, this game is nothing other than a big opportunity for Almeria to continue scoring at a pleasing rate. Punters can profit by siding with 'Almeria to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. Not only have Oviedo, who have the worst away defensive record in the division, conceded two or more in seven out of 11 on the road, shipping multiple goals in each of their three away games against teams currently in the top six, but Almeria have scored multiple goals on a regular basis at home, notching two or more in four of their last five at Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos. Ultimately, when the best attack in the division faces one of the worst defences on Thursday evening, home goals are fancied.

We’re confident that Porto will win on Friday and we have predicte4d a final scoreline of 1-0. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites, having outperformed their guests in all departments, and with a dominating lead in the head to head record between the two clubs. However, Braga have improved of late and look as if they will challenge for fourth spot and possibly a top-three finish which is why we have only backed a narrow 1-0 win for Porto this Friday.
