You can try like this

var articles = 
    db.Articles
    .Where(a => a.PublicationDate < db.Articles
                                    .Where(aa => aa.Id==100)
                                    .Select(aa => aa.PublicationDate)
                                    .SingleOrDefault())
    .OrderByDescending(a => a.PublicationDate)
    .Take(20);
