Both sides have achieved that success through their scoring record this season. The Swans have scored in seven of their last eight trips. They come into this one averaging over 11 shots per game, while they convert 12% of those chances. Given that the Terriers concede just shy of 15 shots per game, they are going to be tested by the high-flying Swans.
Nuno's men are still in the Europa League and face Olympiakos in the last 16 of the competition next month, but they will have to go all the way in that competition to seal a Champions League place or rely on a favour from Chelsea at Wembley to compete on the continent next term. They will lament back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Sheffield United at the start of the month as the reason they missed out on a top-six place and although they held out until first-half injury time against Chelsea, the home side's two quick-fire goals took the wind out of them.

Wycombe approached the festive period in an excellent position; they were out in front and had plenty of breathing space. However, after three defeats in quick succession, The Chairboys are now only four points clear of an Oxford side that has played one less game.
Going to the match, Leganes are placed 19th with 15 points and Sociedad have 34 points, and are sixth. Leganes have not had the best in the season; they go to this game with just four wins, six losses and three clean sheets in the last 15 matches. Leganes have not scored more than a goal in their last four matches while they have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last 15 matches.
No Premier League goalkeeper has more clean sheets than Burnley's Nick Pope this season (9, level with Alisson and Dean Henderson). Arsenal are the first team in Premier League history to draw as many as 13 of their first 25 league matches in a season, and the first in the top flight since Manchester United in the 1980/81 campaign. Arsenal have drawn four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since February 2009 (five in a row).

Vitesse occupy the final Europa League play-off position but both of their last two games have ended in defeat. Their most recent game was a 4-3 loss at Zwolle who are a place below Twente. They led that game 2-1 but conceded a late goal to lose the match. Home form had seen Vitesse unbeaten in four league fixtures before losing a lead and going down 2-1 to PSV.
Rennes will also be looking to harness the power of Roazhon Park as they host this match as their home ground has been pivotal to their success this season. They have won four of their seven matches there in the league including victories over Saint-Étienne and PSG so Angers should be wary here as they travel north.
The bet that catches the eye is 'Reims to Win & Under 3.5 Goals'. On this occasion, Reims defensive ability can allow them to gain a low-scoring win. After all, less than four goals have been scored in 100% of Reims home games this term. The fact that St. Etienne rank as the seventh-worst team in terms of shots on target for, but the fifth-worst in terms of shots on target against on the road fuels the selection further.
FC Slutsk remain top of the Belarus Premier League but their boss would love to see them keep a clean sheet. That hasn't happened this season and they face an Energetik side that will have their confidence boosted by the win at the weekend. With question marks over the defending of the home side (nine goals conceded this season), a bet on both teams to score is the one to lay here.
We have collectively supported Uefa in postponing Euro 2020 to create space in the calendar to ensure domestic and European club league and cup matches have an increased opportunity to be played and, in doing so, maintain the integrity of each competition. We have collectively agreed that the professional game in England will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 April.

VAR, the season's perennial talking point, also had a say at Brighton, where Leicester's Jamie Vardy was ordered to retake his penalty as the Foxes secured a fifth straight league win after Ayoze Perez had opened the scoring for the visitors. Arsenal have dropped further away from the Champions league qualifying places after a poor result against Southampton, with boos ringing around the Emirates stadium despite Lacazette's 96th-minute goal -- his second equaliser of the game.
It was an up and down festive period for Swansea, who won one, drew one and lost one of their three matches between Boxing Day and New Year but they have started to make themselves much harder to beat, losing just one of their last six.
13th day of the highest German football series. I honestly disagree about the odds here. I don't understand why guests can be so disadvantaged. Cologne has so far shown that it does not have a well-equipped team for the new category. They won only 7 points while the guests after a bad start to the season, now they have been able to reverse the course and played good matches in the last rounds, gaining heavy points. Cologne at home has won only one race out of 5 and won against the poorest one which is Paderborn. The guests lost a single match in the last 5 and lost it against a strong team like Schalke.
That's an obvious plus considering Real are currently toe to toe with arch-rivals Barcelona at the top of La Liga and everything will now build towards the rescheduled El Clasico at Camp Nou on 18th December.
COMING UP Quit spending the day in regret after missing the deadline to register to vote and wile away the hours with Chelsea’s trip to Valencia (17:55 GMT), Liverpool’s home clash with Napoli and Barcelona’s match with Borussia Dortmund (both 20:00 GMT). Don't despair, Andi Thomas is planning to auction off his voting rights in tomorrow's Warm-Up.
Favourites to reach this year's final are Liverpool and South American giants Flamengo - which would be a rematch of the 1981 Intercontinental Cup final, the precursor to the Club World Cup. Back then, Liverpool were beaten 3-0 in Tokyo by a Zico-inspired side. In the 38 years since, Liverpool have won six English top-flight titles and been champions of Europe three times. But the honour of being world champions has so far eluded them.
