The visitors have conceded twice in each of their last four games, with defensive issues holding them back at this level. They’ve collapsed at the back, having conceded in 13 straight Championship games. The visitors have scored in each of their last nine matches on the road in this competition, failing to keep a clean sheet in 92% of their trips overall.
If I knew that in three weeks' time I was going to go into a big period of games, I could probably adjust my training to build up to it. I would get stronger and add in certain elements of fitness compartments to get ready for it. Ultimately, it is your job. You have to do what you have to do. You don't see the NHS workers saying they don't want to go in. You can't say you don't fancy kicking a ball around today.
Napoli have scored at least two goals in their last 12 Serie A games against Bologna: there have been eight wins for the Partenopei, three wins for the Rossoblu00f9 and one draw in this period. However, this doesn’t feel like a standard game for the hosts. However, Bologna have won just one of their last 10 Serie A games (D3, L6). They had managed six wins in their previous 10 top-flight matches. With Napoli drawing four on the spin, we’re backing a 2-2 draw here.
After a rocky start that saw them lose by four goals to nil on home soil, the current Bundesliga leaders have steadied themselves and emerged as favourites to win the group heading into match-day six.
Port Vale have won three of their last six matches against Walsall and have won five of their last six matches in league and cup and three of their last four matches have ended in a final scoreline of 2-1, so you can start to see why we have backed a 2-1 win for the hosts this Saturday.
However, that assumes that the country will be able to restart with either fully functioning or sufficient infrastructure. Given the Chinese Super League remains suspended from the start of the year, that could prove to be too optimstic a timeframe. Give Liverpool the trophy and enforce relegation standings A final option would be to cancel the rest of the league, but enforce the current standings as if the league had been completed.
Everton was a freak goal," said Solskjaer. Keane said on Friday he was "sick to death" of De Gea, arguing the goalkeeper should have saved the Steven Bergwijn shot that gave Tottenham a half-time lead. Solskjaer said: "On Friday he might have saved it, he might not. But he makes great saves for us. He wins games for us. I still think he is best goalkeeper in the world. De Gea is under pressure for his place in the Spain side from Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The Pole converted a 53rd-minute penalty after Milos Degenek handled in the box and made it 3-0 on the hour from a fine assist by Tolisso. He headed in the fourth soon afterwards from a Benjamin Pavard cross and stunned Red Star again in the 68th minute. Tolisso completed the rout in the dying minutes with a simple finish.
Football's biggest carbon emitters Air travel by the top 20 footballers nominated for the 2019 Ballon d'Or was responsible for producing 505 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions this year alone, according to a climate change researcher. Andrew Welfle, from the University of Manchester, said governing bodies and teams must combat climate change by curbing air travel and finding alternative methods for their frequent flier players to reduce CO2 emissions.

Well things are very much clear here. Livorno are having very very bad season and 90% favor that they are going to be relegated.After 30 rounds they have only 18 pts and it really sad to see once such a big club at this position but the reality is that they are going into the 3rd league. On the other hand Juve Stabia are in must win situation if they want to avoid relegation too. They are currently at the 14th spot with 36 pts but Cremonese, Venezia and Ascoli are right behind them so they have to won at a matches like this
The seventh placed side in the Premier League would normally qualify for the Europa League, but the two places above seventh would not need to start their Europa League games until mid-September. By giving up the seventh spot, that would allow the Premier League to delay the start of next season's, er, season.
While neither side is at the very top of their game, both are in form enough to think that they have a realistic chance of getting a vital win. The hosts have been much improved in front of goal but are not quite as solid at the back as they once was and the visitors have not exactly been immune to seeing goals go in at both ends of the pitch. It seems pretty likely that each team will adopt an attacking approach to this game, so backing them both to find the back of the net looks to be the way to go in this fixture.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the efforts of the Liverpool players "should not be taken for granted". The Reds beat Sheffield United on Thursday to make it an entire year unbeaten and maintain their 13-point lead at the top of the Premier League. In six fixtures over a 17-day period, playing in three competitions, including the Club World Cup in Qatar, the Reds have won five of them. I do not take it one second for granted [what the team have done].
Pauli is in better condition at the moment and right under this rival at the league table. Host is dealing with a lot of injuries and they cannot make the top line up at this period of the league. They can have big problem to avoid to concede goal from the rival, and if Sankt Pauli had chance to make advantage, they should left with it till the finish.
Selfies, wine and laughs at PopeyBoth sets of players shared selfies in the Manchester City changing room after the fixture, and Vale manager John Askey said: "City could not have treated us any better. They have really looked after us. They invited the players in after the game and they have been having a bit of a laugh, especially about Popey and John Stones as you can imagine. Tom might be on Twitter tonight.
Coach Ernesto Valverde and midfielder Sergio Busquets were due to give a news conference before the training session but will now speak to the media afterwards due to their late arrival. Real Madrid play Valencia on Wednesday in the first game of the competition, which used to be a season curtain raiser but has been turned into a money-spinning event after federation president Luis Rubiales implemented radical changes last year.
The club have been on an upward trajectory over the past two campaigns, returning to the Football League in 2018-19 after three seasons in the National League and then following that up with a second successive promotion to the third tier. But they have won just five of 25 league games since then and sit 21st in the League One table. However, both the original tie and this replay have showcased the battling spirit that Micky Mellon has instilled in his players.
Chelsea head to this game with the upper hand, even though they have not done well at home in recent times. The Blues have lost three of the last four league matches at home, and it has been against lower table teams. This is a script Burnley must have read so well by now and will try to implement. However, they don’t have the record on their side, as regards playing Chelsea. They have no win in the last four meetings and have conceded two or more in the last five, while winning just one in 11 meetings. Burnley have also conceded two or more goals in six of the last 10 matches, and five of the last 10 away from home. While Chelsea have been scoring a lot, they are not the best defensive side, and we are thus backing them for a 2-1 win here.
the Ponferradina fc team and the Rayo Vallecano fc team, meet in Spain Segunda Liga. The Ponferradina fc is in 12th position with 32 points Collected. While guest team the Rayo Vallecano fc came in 11th position with 32 points Collected.
Great match in perspective, both teams very well place on the table, fighting for a to guarantee a presence on next year's Chmapion's League, Borussia M is slightly favorite at home and both teams are coming from positive results from the last Bundesliga returning round after the long covid stop.
But unfortunately for City, it's OFFSIDE. Mahrez received his pass from Cancelo in an offside position, so it's chalked off. GOAL! City 1-0 Everton. Jesus scores - Jesus receives the ball from Gundogan, between two defenders in the box. He takes a touch back, gives himself space and curls a shot to the top corner that Pickford cannot keep out despite getting a hand to it.
Marcus Rashford has called on the government to reverse a decision not to provide free school meal vouchers during the summer, saying that "the system isn't built for families like mine to succeed". The Manchester United and England forward has raised about £20m to supply three million meals to vulnerable people while working with charity FareShare UK during the coronavirus lockdown. Campaigners have threatened to bring legal action against the government for not extending the food voucher scheme into the summer holidays.
Alajuelense sit 3rd place and collected total number of 39 points, it is almost a fact that they will not move from that position, since Herediano which is 2nd place hosts poor Perez Zeledon. In this case Alajuela and Herediano will play against each other in the semifinals. being 2nd or 3rd does not influence anything since due to the pandemic the matches are played behind closed doors. We must add the fact that Jicaral is a city far from the Costa Rican capital and Alajuelense is going to play with a substitute team. Jicaral is a good team, they were very close to championship place, they are set to end the tournament in 5th place.
Roskilde will play against Nykøbing in the 1st Division of Denmark on Thursday. Roskilde are currently on bottom of the table and has 22 points. However they played quite well at home.

However they lost last two matches by single goal margin .
Arsenal have not won for seven games, something which never happened under Arsene Wenger. The last time this happened was in February 1992 under George Graham. KEY MOMENTS 11’ - Lovely form Saka, who slows up Abraham and glides past him, then teases in a lovely cross! Ye've gottae score! So Willock and Aubameyang both get up, get in each other's way, and Aubameyang heads wide.
The Magpies got a good win on the road too, over Bournemouth, and I think they will get something from this one. Liverpool v Burnley (15:00 BST)With three wins and a draw from their past four games, Burnley are doing brilliantly, especially when you consider how depleted Sean Dyche's squad is. But I see their good run ending when they go to Anfield. Liverpool will find it far harder to break Burnley down than it was against Brighton in midweek, but I think the end result will be the same - a Reds win.
Aguero has now scored 21 goals in just 23 appearances in all competitions this season, including eight in his last five appearances. The league title may be increasingly out of reach for City but Aguero's form could be vital for their aspirations in other competitions. Blades beaten but impress once againIt is difficult to find different superlatives to describe Sheffield United in the Premier League this season.
Ajax 2, Getafe 1. Posted at 62' Hand ball by Mathías Olivera (Getafe).

Nice have won this competition three times in the club's history but the most recent triumph was in 1997 so there is definitely a fever in the city to get back on top of this tournament. They have a relatively easy opponent for their first match and have some good form to take into this game.

Despite Law's heroics United were struggling for form. He scored a hat-trick against Leicester City, but United still lost. But he scored another hat-trick in the FA Cup as they routed Huddersfield 5-0 and went on to reach the final, against Leicester. This time the Red Devils got their revenge - Law scoring the opening goal as they lifted the cup at Wembley. Denis Law spent 11 seasons with Manchester United, winning the league twiceLaw would have the distinction that year of playing three times at Wembley, for three different teams.
Every day, we're seeing each other still, laughing and joking. It's going to be amazing when we get back on the field. Sometimes it takes things like this to make you realise what you've had before. When we're doing all these tough running sessions and you don't have anything left to give, it's that image of getting back on the field with your team-mates that drives you on. The players have a little book club' Anton Walkes' transfer from Portsmouth was something he welcomed as his partner and child were based in the United StatesLewisham native Anton Walkes played with Atlanta United in 2017 on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, so his transition to the club this season has been a bit easier than it would have been had he never set foot in Atlanta before.
Asked if he would follow the other teams' games, he said: "No, we always think that what we are able to get depends on us. We are thinking of the next match. Leeds edged past the Championship's bottom club Barnsley at Elland Road, with Michael Sollbauer's first-half own goal settling the contest and moving the Whites within one point of automatic promotion.

Coming off the back of a defeat, Ajax are still trying to navigate their way through a rocky period in the league. Unbeaten until early December, Ajax have since suffered four defeats in eight games. That is as many defeats as they had in the entirety of their previous league campaign. The squad has undergone changes since that title win and these are the consequences of the changes.

Dundee's words won't have been much of a balm to those left to pick up the pieces in the wake of their vote that never was. Dundee's behaviour shredded the credibility of the vote. By Wednesday morning even avowed Yes supporters acknowledged that the integrity of the resolution was shot to smithereens and needed replacing by something new. The SPFL board ploughed on and got the result they were looking for.
There was always going to be a tough period for Brentford this season. The departure of Neal Maupay was a blow, but he wasn’t their most impressive forward. Saïd Benrahma has more talent, while Ollie Watkins has slid into a central role with 13 goals this season. Since the start of last season, Benrahma has provided more assists than any other Brentford player in the Championship (19), assisting two of the Bees' last four goals.

Paper Round's view: 12-month extensions for over-30s is quite a common at clubs in football these days. However, last season Chelsea broke the norm and gave fellow Brazilian David Luiz a two-year deal, despite the fact he ended up leaving for Arsenal in the summer. Willian has been a great servant to the Blues and he is thriving under Lampard, so it would make sense for the Chelsea chiefs to accept his demands, instead of risking losing him for nothing when his deal expires in June.
Atletico Madrid have had a fine run at home this season and will be glad to finish their season there. They lost to Real Sociedad in the reverse fixture but we expect them to go out there as favorites, looking at their visitors’ away record. This match has not been high scoring in the recent meetings, and in only one of the last seven have we seen both sides score. Five of the seven matches have ended in under 2.5 goals and Atletico go to this game with three clean sheets in the last four matches. We expect a tight encounter here with both sides having something to play for and as such we will go for Under 2.5 goals in the game.
It was everything I wanted," Lampard told reporters. We've been rightly questioned recently. Everton away being a good one. I didn't like it. Chelsea's players were involved in heated discussions in the tunnel at the Emirates Stadium after going a goal down before halftime and Lampard said a frank dressing room exchange during the break was the catalyst for their comeback.
Training was ‘like going back to school again’Germany’s top two divisions consist of 18 teams each and most of those have played 25 games. Bayern are five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Any resumption will need the approval of the German government, whose response to the pandemic has involved an intense programme of consistent testing from early on. Most players have started training again, with Bayern returning to their training ground on 6 April under strict conditions, training in small groups and keeping at a distance at all times.

Although Manchester United were lacklustre, Arsenal were outstanding in the first half as Pepe tore through the opposition defence. But there were also good displays in midfield from Mesut Ozil - who covered the most ground of all the Arsenal players, running 11.

Alguacil had been working in the Basque side's youth set-up since 2011 but was promoted to first-team coach in December 2018 when Asier Arrasate was sacked with the team 15th in La Liga.
