Watching Rooney whetted my appetite'Milner started at boyhood club Leeds United and, after being an unused substitute in the previous league game, a 1-0 home defeat by Everton, when a 17-year-old Wayne Rooney scored the winner, he was handed his debut by Terry Venables when he replaced Jason Wilcox as a late substitute in a 4-3 win at West Ham, aged just 16. I travelled with the first team a few times.
Just 25% of Braga’s away games have produced over 2.5 goals and only 38% of those matches have seen both teams score, which is another reason why we have backed a narrow 1-0 win for Porto on Friday. Braga might not be in the same vein of form as their hosts but the visitors have won four of their last six matches and should prove a tough nut to crack.
In a game of few chances and plenty of fouls, Tranmere had been the more dominant side in the first half but failed to apply sufficient pressure to the Sunderland rearguard. Jon McLaughlin was forced to make a good save from a low curling Kane Wilson free kick, but despite their early promise, that was as good as it got for Rovers.
Blades fans and those who take a keen interest in the Championship would've known prior to this season that Sheffield United, under the astute management of Chris Wilder, are no mugs. Not only are they tough to get the better of, but they're a clever, attractive, ball-playing side, a side that can hurt teams in a variety of ways. The wider footballing audience now know just what The Blades, who occupy a respectable 7th place, are capable of.
Steven Bergwijn became only the second player to score in his first three home Premier League appearances for Spurs, after Rafael van der Vaart in 2010.

Only Trent Alexander-Arnold (14) has more assists among Premier League defenders in all competitions than Spurs full-back Serge Aurier this season (eight).
Lawro's prediction: 2-0Charlie: Christian Benteke will score twice for Palace and it will be the most unbelievable thing that has ever happened. Sheff Utd v BrightonSheffield United have been in Dubai on their winter break, but I don't think that will affect their momentum. The Blades have deserved all the praise they have got this season but one of the things I really like about them is there is never a huge difference in their level of performance, whether they win or lose.
Former Germany and United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann has been appointed as Hertha Berlin manager until the end of the season after the Bundesliga side sacked Ante Covic.

The way we've been playing recently, and the results, have led to this decision," he said.

Nevertheless congratulations are due to Liverpool, who have had the most magnificent season. I also believe that special merit should be given to James Milner and Jordan Henderson.

Hibs head coach Jack Ross told BBC Scotland he was surprised to hear Kamberi's comments that it was his dream to play for Rangers. It would be [a surprise]," said Ross. He and I never discussed what his dream scenario would be. Players find out about scenarios and possibilities and when they have a strong desire for that to be fulfilled, it's difficult. I think when we knew what Flo wanted to do, we had to find a solution that would be beneficial for us.
