United are aiming to progress in Europe as they look to salvage something from this season
Dundee manager Tony Docherty has praised the club's owners for going "over and above" in developing ways to strengthen the squad. The Dark Blues announced a strategic partnership with Mexican side CF Monterrey in November and have a similar arrangement with English Championship side Burnley. Current Monterrey midfielder Cesar Garza arrived on loan this month, as did their former midfielder Victor Lopez.
There is always talk around Arsenal needing a striker but they create more than enough opportunities to put games to bed. When you do not take them, you leave teams in a game and then the chances are that the opposition pull one back and the momentum shifts. It feels like they are going through a very similar spell to last year around the Christmas period.
Overachieving as a team is a great feeling and that is how Brighton, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest players will all be feeling. Going on a run of games and beating top teams helps to breed confidence and team morale. No-one would have thought that Forest, who were fighting relegation last season, would be joint second in the Premier League.
