El Hadji Malick Diouf is the best crosser of a ball at West Ham and has already racked up four assists in 18 Premier League starts this term. With the hosts likely to sit off their opponents, expect Diouf to get plenty of opportunities to cross from deep on the left and he looks a tempting price for an assist.

With injuries to Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley in recent weeks, Joe Willock has gotten more of an opportunity in Newcastle’s midfield.

The Dutch champions have a perfect record of 11 wins from 11 on their travels, averaging close to three goals per game. Volendam haven’t beaten a top-half side in 11 attempts this season, but they have scored in 10 of their 11 home games.

The two bottom sides in the A-League meet for the first time this season, but the hosts should feel hard done by as they’ve got the third-best xG record in the league.

Wrexham have conceded in 81% of their home league games this term, and they struggled to prevent Ipswich making chances in the previous meeting this term. The Tractor Boys have conceded in 11 of 14 away trips, while Wrexham’s last eight home matches saw BTTS land on seven occasions.

Arne Slot’s side have a kind double-header in January, leaving them primed for a top-eight finish. With the Premier League coasting towards a fifth Champions League berth, the Reds should be in a good position to focus on European success in the spring.

Spain have some incredibly talented individuals, Lamine Yamal being the prime example, but are strong in all areas and don’t have any particular weaknesses. They won Euro 2024 with relative ease and they should be too good for their continental rivals at the World Cup.
