Bristol City v Middlesbrough Saturday 2nd December, 17:30 Live on Sky Sports Bristol City flying high Bristol City  trailed Hull 2-0 at half-time last weekend but the Robins dug deep and clinched their ninth victory over the campaign thanks to second-half strikes from  Aden Flint, Bobby Reid  and  Josh Brownhill . Lee Johnson 's group were woeful for two-thirds of the match but were galvanised by the introduction of bustling striker  Milan Djuric  after the break. The Bosnian's physical presence gave City a fresh approach and turned the tie in the Robins' favour. However,  Callum O'Dowda  suffered an ankle injury in the victory and will be joined on the sidelines by major summer signing Famara Diedhiou, Eros Pisano, Jens Hegeler, Ivan Lucic and Gary O'Neil. Meanwhile,  Joe Bryan  will be back in contention for Saturday. Middlesbrough lacking fluency Middlesbrough  chairman Steve Gibson demanded the Teessiders 's...

Everton  1.72  v Huddersfield  6.00 ; The Draw [3.94] ( Significant Opta Stat:  Huddersfield haven't scored a single goal on their travels in any competition (seven games) since their opening-day win at Crystal Palace. ) It's incredible how quickly we can change our minds about a football team. Prior to Wednesday night Everton were the worst team in the world,  couldn't defend for toffee  - no pun intended - and looked destined to be in a season-long relegation scrap. They then thrashed West Ham 4-0 and later made it official that  Sam Allardyce  would be the permanent successor to Ronald Koeman. And with Huddersfield up next, everything is rosy in the garden again. Okay, not quite everything as I know there are quite a lot of Everton fans not entirely doing backflips at the appointment of Big Sam. But it's worth remembering that just two jobs ago he was  England manager , and in his only subsequent job he guided Crystal Palace to ...

Napoli v Juventus Friday, 19:45 Live on BT Sport 2 and Betfair Live Video Napoli would appear to have passed just about every examination of their title credentials so far this season, but the sternest awaits them at the San Paolo on Friday night. Napoli don't have to beat Juve, as they're four points clear of them and a draw would be a perfectly respectable result, but there's just a feeling: move seven points clear and Juve's swaying ship would start to sink. Lose, and suddenly they'd be vulnerable to Inter and Roma and only a point clear of the Champions. My position on the season remains the same as when we kicked off in August. As a football fan,  I want Napoli to win Serie A . As a pragmatist, I still think that Juve will win it. Max Allegri's team may have lost Leo Bonucci, may have made a mistake leaving behind Mattia Caldara, may have, to use that hackneyed phrase, lost their mojo. But they're still fighting, and  no one does fighting b...
