If you want to survive at the top you need to bounce off competition right left and centre. He went through a difficult patch last season but he has been very good this season.

His previous six goals were spread across 25 matches between August and February. Marcos Alonso: The Chelsea left wing-back scores against Spurs, gets sent off against Bayern Munich and nets another two against Bournemouth - all in a week's work.

Relive Hull's crucial win over MiddlesbroughVictory was Hull's first in the league since New Year's Day and ended a run of 14 games without a win in all competitions. Grant McCann's men had lost 11 of those previous 14 and appeared to be tumbling towards League One, particularly since the January departures of talismanic duo Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki. The Tigers still have work to do to avoid the drop but Thursday's result will give a huge lift to McCann's side, who celebrated wildly as Wilks won the game with just moments remaining.

Leipzig have a great run at home; they have scored in each of their 13 home league matches. however, they have managed just two clean sheets in the 13 home matches. They face a Hertha Berlin side that has scored in each of their last seven away matches, which leaves us with the expectation of seeing goals on both sides here. The fact that this has also been a high scoring fixture in recent times further fuels this expectation. Leipzig have been the dominant side in this fixture, and have four straight wins ahead of the game. Leipzig have the best defensive run in the league and we are backing them for a win here. Seeing that Hertha have an impressive scoring record too, we will go for a 3-1 win for Leipzig.
