Desperate to get their European charge back on track, Espanyol will welcome Real Oviedo to Catalonia on Monday night. Starting with the hosts, signing off 2025 in the midst of a sensational five-match La Liga winning run, Espanyol had rightfully received a string of public praise from across the continent.

Everything about the football club is an absolute disgrace. Honestly, I'm hurting, I'm actually hurting. It hurts. This team is terrible. The players are terrible. They're Championship players. I'd actually take big Ange, it's got to that point. Get him (Tudor) out of this football club. This geezer, he's absolutely clueless.
Rooted to the bottom of the table with only two points - 13 adrift of safety - winless in the Premier League for 253 days and having conceded 35 goals this season, Wolves' top-flight future looks increasingly bleak. Guaranteed to be bottom on Christmas Day, it is a far cry from the festive gift supporters had been hoping for. But Wolves are not alone in their Christmas wish for a win.
