Rangers faces a difficult trip to Edinburgh to face the in-form Hibernian as they look to remain at the top of the Scottish league table.
The Gers ended their winless run with a 1-0 win over Hamilton Academical last weekend. That victory took Steven Gerard’s men top of the Scottish league table, one point ahead of Celtic who have a game in hand on them.
Gerard’s men have been doing well defensively, but their goals seems to have dried out and that explains why they have not won 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions.
Hibernians started their season poorly, but they have started getting better in recent games as they come here on the back of two wins.
The first win was against Hamilton Academical away from home which ended 1-0, while the second was even more impressive with a 2-0 home win against Celtic at the weekend.
They would be confident that they can knock Rangers off the top of the league table here.

Chelsea have started life under Maurizio Sarri better than most people predicted. With the help of Jorginho, his players have taken to his method faster and they would be looking to help him earn his first trophy as a manager in this season’s Carabao Cup as Liverpool have opened an 8 points gap over them on the league table.
With no Champions League to play for this season the Carabao Cup and FA Cup could be good trophies to try and win for Sarri and his players should take advantage of playing at home to beat Bournemouth in this game.
Bournemouth has become one of England’s biggest success story. After spending much of their time in the lower leagues, Eddie Howe’s men have established themselves as a Premier League force over the past couple of seasons and they would now turn their focus to winning trophies.
The Cherries are set to finish this season far away from the relegation zone, so they would fancy themselves winning a trophy as well.

Arsenal have made a good start under Unai Emery after he was selected to succeed Arsene Wenger last summer, however, they have still failed to compete for the Premier League and a place inside the top still looks a big task for them as well.
They were on a run of 22 games unbeaten which helped them up the league table as well as reached the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup and knockout stages of the Europa League. But that run came to an end at the weekend when Southampton beat them 3-2 at Saint Marys.
They would be looking to return to winning ways here and having defeated their north London rivals just a couple of weeks back, they would be confidence of eliminating them here as well, but that won’t be an easy job.
Tottenhan fans would be hoping that they can finally end their trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup this season.
They have made steady progress since Mauricio Pochettino became their manager 4 years ago, but they haven’t been able to win anything despite reaching the latter stages of the EFL and FA Cup as well as qualifying for the Champions League consistently.
They have already been beaten by the Gunners this season and they would hope to reverse that when they return to the Emirates here.

Leipzig and Bayern Munich face each other in one of the hottest game of the midweek in Germany, and they would all be looking to keep their recent return to form in tact.
The host beat Hannover 4-0 at the weekend, while RB Leipzig also returned to form by securing a 4-1 home win over Mainz 04, can the most hated club in Germany stun Bayern in Bavaria or will the home side get another win over their bitter rivals here, time would tell.
Their return to form has not covered their away form for Leipzig as they arrive here having lost all of their last 4 games on the road in the league and Europa League, and Bayern would be looking to take advantage of that poor away form.
The host have been in fine form recently and come into this game having not lost any of their five games in all competitions, apart from their 3-3 draw at Ajax, they have won all the other games.
Forget Santa, forget Roast Turkey, and forget carol singers, Christmas is a time for football and that is that.
However, Christmas is also a time for football managers in the bottom half of the Premier League to start sweating on their jobs as chairman spy the January window as a last chance to drag themselves away from trouble.
This makes looking at those clubs currently in danger worth looking at in today’s football predictionsas we predict the three who are destined for the drop and three who is showing signs of a second half revival.
For the Drop
Huddersfield Town
The Terriers survived the drop last season largely thanks to an impressive start to the campaign and despite residing just out of the relegation zone (at the time of writing), already look as if their mini revival has come to a halt.
After going eleven games without a win at the start of the season, the Yorkshire outfit collected seven points from three games in November and the belief returned to David Wagner’s men.
Back to back defeats against beatable opponents in Brighton and Bournemouth has highlighted Town’s lack of overall quality and they look like finally getting caught out.
Cardiff City
Love him or hate him there is no denying that Neil Warnock is a man that can get the most out of an average squad.
Much like Huddersfield, Cardiff had a tricky start and failed to win a game until their tenth attempt.
The Bluebirds are a side trying to ‘do a Bournemouth’ with much of the side that earned them promotion but (again like Huddersfield) glaring gulfs in quality over their opposition and a lack of strength in-depth will only lead to a swift return to England’s second tier.
Southampton
The Saints are a side that have been in the decline for a number of seasons and rekindle memories of Leeds United and Aston Villa’s gradually slip into the Championship.
Sacking Mark Hughes was the only option but replacing him with Ralph Hasenhuttl who has no Premier League experience is an almighty risk and one that we think will backfire.
Second Half Revival
Fulham
Life is good back on the Thames now Claudio Ranieri has swung in to save them.
It may even be worth making an outside punt on the Cottagers to win the League, after all, Ranieri is a man who can achieve anything.
In all seriousness, Fulham may sit in the bottom three but have already improved significantly in Ranieri’s short reign taking four points from three games.
There is simply too much quality in the Fulham squad and time to gel looks like being the major factor in their current predicament, but when they fire, expect them to rocket up the league.
Burnley
You wouldn’t say it to Sean Dyche’s face, but his side have been truly terrible at times this season but have also been unlucky and played well at others.
Take their loss at home against Liverpool as an example, the Clarets looked calm and composed and despite losing will pick up more points than not if they keep that performance level up.
Crystal Palace
Roy Hodgeson is the manager of the Eagles and that means safety is assured even if it will bore most fans to death.
Palace have just enough to avoid the drop but they will spend a majority of the season in trouble and then probably smash Manchester City 4-0 to ensure survival.
