Kev goes off into 2017 with a push. 1-1 at the Stade El Massira yesterday means he finishes the old year in the black.

Our final shift of 2016 begins in Australia, where the A-League is as laden with goals as ever. On Tuesday morning (UK time) Melbourne City entertain Perth Glory and we fancy it's going to be another entertainment-packed 90 minutes. Both teams have scored in each of their last five league meetings and that's our bet for this one.

John Van't Schip's hosts have seen goals at both ends in nine of the last 10 rounds of the season. At Melbourne Rectangular Stadium visitors and hosts alike have rippled the back of the net in 6/6 this term.

Kenny Lowe's Perth come to town with a fine record of free-scoring matches under their belt: four of their five away matches have delivered goals at both ends.
