We start off with the Premier League…

Two games are to be played today. An early clash at Goodison Park 13.30 CET between Everton and Middlesbrough. Yakubu returns for this important Sunday clash.

Our tip: 1-1, it should be a close fight for places up the table

The later fixture is at 16.00 CET. Hull City host a falling Manchester City side as pressure piles on Mark Hughes to start producing. Hull on the other side need to keep on winning at home soil as their honey moon seems to be over. The Tigers should be able to shake an inconsistent Man City side.

Our tip: 2-1, a tough game to predict but with players such as Robinho on the pitch there should be goals at least.

Serie A

Siena - Bologna
Atalanta - Napoli
Cagliari - Fiorentina
Udinese - Reggina
Catania - Torino
Milan - Chievo
Sampdoria - Lecce

The interesting game will take place at the Olimpico in the eternal city of Rome.
Roma - Lazio!!!

There is an incredible 15 point gap between the two Rome teams and Lazio have produced fine results in the Serie A to climb up to an honouring 5th spot in the table. Roma however have done the opposite and Spaletti is under huge pressure despite winning against Chelsea in the Champions League.
You know how a derby works… the league table counts for nothing and it will be a very interesting match indeed… As usual when it comes to a Rome derby.

Our tip: 2-1, Roma must win this game for the players to dare show themselves at the training ground on Monday.
