WEDNESDAY'S STORIES TOP HEADLINES Video - 'The title race is over, it's done' - Guardiola00:59 09:10 - Sinclair apologises for Liverpool ‘bin dippers’ jibe Former Manchester City player Trevor Sinclair has apologised for his ‘bin dipper’ tweet aimed at Liverpool. City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to eight points on Tuesday with a 4-1 win at Burnley.
Koch is also being tracked by Premier League rivals Wolves and Norwich. Paper Round's view: Leicester do probably need to sign a new centre-back. Caglar Soyuncu has been brilliant so far this season and has definitely nailed down a spot in the heart of Brendan Rodgers' defence alongside the ever-reliable Jonny Evans.
Strasbourg were one of the standout teams in France last season as they ended PSG's five year dominance of the Coupe de la Ligue by beating Guingamp in the final. This earned them a place in the Europa League qualifiers but so much early season football slightly scuppered their form in the first few months of the campaign with them sitting in the relegation zone by September. However, Thierry Laurey is a great coach and they have since shot right up the table to 13th with a series of impressive results.

Argentinos Juniors only have a 2-3-2 record at home in the last 7 matches in the Copa Sudamericana but the 3 draws and 2 defeats were all against other teams from Argentina. They won both matches against teams from other countries. Last year Argentinos Juniors got eliminated by finalist Colon.
The 19-year-old, making his 22nd appearance since a 27. Juventus, celebrated wildly in front of the Goodison Park faithful when firing home after 30 minutes. Video - Barcelona closing in on Arsenal star – Euro Papers01:36 Carlo Ancelotti's resurgent Everton side dominated an injury-hit Newcastle and deservedly doubled their lead in the 54th minute when in-form English forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin notched his 10th league goal of the season.
Jack is getting better and better. He is a top player and when you have top players you get performances like that at Old Trafford. I thought he was good at Manchester City and we missed him against Liverpool. Tellingly, Smith also said that Grealish "wouldn't sleep tonight" after a costly miss shortly before Manchester United went 2-1 ahead. In that regard it shows that complacency is not an issue for a player who struggled with professionalism earlier in his career.
They set a new Bundesliga record on Saturday by scoring three goals or more for a ninth top-flight game in a row. However, Nagelsmann has selection issues of his own, at centre-back, where Dayot Upamecano is suspended and Ibrahima Konate and Willi Orban are injured. It could mean that on-loan Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu starts. Match statsHead-to-headThis will be the first encounter between Tottenham and RB Leipzig.
These are the two newly promoted clubs at the start of this new season in the first league level of Cyprus and they are performing decently in fact both sides defeated the top 2 clubs in Cyprus this season last round with Achnas pulling out a great result a few days ago winning with 2-1 away from home at Omonia last round while Ol. Nicosia defeated 2nd placed Anorthosis also with 2-1 but at home.
Tabitha Chawinga had earlier made history by scoring the tournament's first-ever goal when she gave China's Jiangsu Suning the lead after just seven minutes in their meeting with NTV Beleza from Japan. But Mina Tanaka levelled two minutes later and the game ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving both teams two points adrift of Incheon after the opening round of matches.
The language that Cas uses is important. Uefa noted that Cas found "insufficient conclusive evidence" to uphold all of its conclusions, not 'no evidence'. And some allegations were dismissed because they were more than five years old. And, because City were found to have failed to co-operate, this falls short of a full exoneration. But City are unlikely to care too much about that and what a story it would be if they can follow this up with a first Champions League success.
The 54-year old acknowledged he was enjoying his time in charge as he hit the ground running in adverse circumstances. Many players were out of form when I took over and I quickly had to decide what the starting line-up is," he said. It is important that players always want to learn and improve all the time, this is Bayern’s DNA and that’s what makes working with this group and the staff enjoyable.
Claiming victory against an opponent as strong as Fulham will provide a real injection of confidence into Preston ranks and the hosts will fancy their chances of securing victory on Saturday. Indeed, PNE have won 8 of their 11 outings at Deepdale this season, plunging home a big average of 2.45 goals a game in the process to illustrate their home strength.
Ajax should be the team to benefit from the open game most with the visitors looking to give themselves a big advantage heading into the final round of games and we think they should have enough to pick up a comfortable win, with a 3-1 result predicted. They aren't the best defensively though and we can see them conceding but a win by two clear goals seems fair between these two sides.
BARCELONA, April 9 (Reuters) - Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand has revealed he turned down the chance to move to Barcelona in 2008, saying he believed it was too risky as the Catalan club were going through a period of transition. Centre back Ferdinand had contact with Barca and their then coach Frank Rijkaard around the time of United's Champions League semi-final tie with the Spanish club on their way to winning Europe's top club prize in 2008.
Fortunately, in terms of points, their travelling efforts have been slightly better than Nimes' home exploits, so the visitors ought to fancy themselves on Friday. Last time out on the road, Garcia's men got the better of Strasbourg, giving little away in the process. A repeat performance might be enough to see off Friday's low-scoring hosts. That said, the visitors have made a habit of conceding goals on their travels, surrendering at least one in each of their last seven away games. They've also not been prolific winners on the road, winning three out of seven.
The dust may have settled for now on a turbulent period in Scottish football in the wake of last week's vote against an independent investigation but there are still a myriad of unresolved issues. Despite concerns expressed by a number of the 42 SPFL clubs about April's ballot to end the lower league season, 27 of them voted against Rangers' resolution, which was backed by Hearts and Stranraer, for an inquiry.
West Brom are nine points clear of third placed Fulham and with only 12 games to go, again look strong favourites to return to the Premier League. They had gone seven league games without a win but February has been a great month for them with 13 points from their five games and at least two goals scored in each of those matches.
Instead, there would be 32 teams in one division and each side would play 10 matches against 10 different opponents, with the top eight qualifying for the round of 16. Teams finishing between ninth and 24th would then face a two-legged play-off to join them in the knockout phase. In order to fit the competition into English football's schedule, the Carabao Cup semi-finals, currently played over two legs, would resort to a one-off match, with FA Cup replays also scrapped.

Isolation is not something that is easy for human beings to do but we are in this position and we have to look after each other. Potter, his wife and three children have been in isolation after his wife had flu-like symptoms last week. It has left him trying to juggle home schooling with being a Premier League manager, although not in any normal sense. We can still do our jobs, just not the jobs we would do in a normal circumstance," he said.
Wolves v Tottenham (14:00 GMT)Wolves are unbeaten in the Premier League since mid-September - 11 games ago - and it is clear they have got a bit of extra quality going right through their side. Those runs cannot last forever though, and I am going to go for a Tottenham win. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho made loads of changes against Bayern Munich in midweek which will help ahead of this game. Mourinho's side were poor when they lost at Old Trafford last week.
Manchester United and Sporting Lisbon have held face-to-face talks over the transfer of £60m-rated Bruno Fernandes. Midfielder Fernandes, 25, scored twice as Sporting beat Vitoria Setubal 3-1 in the Portuguese top flight on Saturday. The Portugal international is keen on a move but there has been no agreement between the clubs over a fee. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his assistant, Mike Phelan, watched Fernandes play against FC Porto on 5 January.
Pogba and Dele are going to be up scoring goals so we need someone to hold. AJ: "I'd put Giovani lo Celso or Tanguy Ndombele there but if we're talking defensive wise, you have a point. Matic is solid defensively. Dele and Pogba can both attack so having three attacking midfielders doesn't really make sense.
Brazil would host the 1950 finals and the USA would be taking part. An international festival of football was proposed for May and June of 1949. It would include five 'dream' games to be staged at another baseball venue - Triborough Stadium. These would feature Ireland against the USA, Ireland versus Scotland, Sweden against Ireland, England versus Sweden and Scotland against the USA. The infamous day a 'savage mob' broke bones and club diedBelfast Celtic medal found in a puddle is returnedPatrick O'Connell: 'Barcelona FC saviour' they called 'Don Patricio'The Scottish FA agreed to send its international side.
English Premier League. Leicester City will play at home with team Southampton. Southampton have not lost in their last four league games , winning three and drawing one. They have won 2 -0 against Chelsea and 3- 1 against Aston Villa in their last two away league matches. Guests did 2 - 0 with team Huddersfield in the last match. Southampton have a great motivation to take a revenge after they lost with score 0 - 9 in the first leg. Last year team Southampton won here with score 2 -1 in Premier League game. I think for high odds it is a good bet .
Serbia are the favourites to win this particular quarter final and of course have Novak Djokovic in their team. He's been in top form so far this week winning both of his matches in straight sets. That helped the Serbs to a 3-0 win over Japan and then a 2-1 victory over last year's finalists France. Filip Krajinovic has also won both of his singles this week.
I saw they had Marko Marin, who had just joined on loan from Chelsea. They also had Mario Gomez, Joaquin and Juan Cuadrado - all top players. Mohamed Salah was rumoured to be joining them as well, and eventually arrived in January. I remember looking down their team-sheet and thinking 'wow, this team is actually unbelievable - I am definitely going'. I had to make my mind up quickly but, looking back, it was the right decision.
Hamburger SV and Kiel will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Hamburger SV this season have the following results: 13W, 10D and 6L. Meanwhile Kiel have 10W, 8D and 11L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.

Reaction as fans await SPFL vote outcome"It is very important that clubs consider carefully the resolution and we are grateful to those clubs who have voted already," said an SPFL spokesperson. With the Ladbrokes Premiership and Ladbrokes Leagues 1 & 2 divisions each having approved the resolution, we await the voting slip from the one Ladbrokes Championship club that has yet to vote. We will provide an update as soon as we are in a position to do so.
They believe there is now a call being made for a league-wide solution to an issue that is - currently - not affecting every club and questions are being asked about why clubs who are presently able and willing to meet their commitments should, effectively, risk being penalised. South Shields' fury - and they are watching what happens nextSouth Shields have been the most vocal in expressing their disgust at the FA's decision regarding the non-league pyramid.
But it seems little has changed on that front in the Bundesliga. There were 24 bookings given on the first weekend after the restart, while 25 were shown this weekend. That follows the pattern from the previous five gameweeks, in which an average of 24 yellow cards had been given. There were no red cards shown on the first weekend but two players were given their marching orders this weekend - Felix Klaus in Wolfsburg's defeat by Borussia Dortmund and Philipp Bargfrede in Werder Bremen's victory over Freiburg.
Full TimeSecond Half ends, Southampton 1, Brighton and Hove Albion 1. Post updateAttempt saved. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (Southampton) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Post updateOffside, Brighton and Hove Albion. Martín Montoya tries a through ball, but Pascal Groß is caught offside. Post updateAttempt missed. Che Adams (Southampton) right footed shot from the right side of the six yard box misses to the right.
In normal revenue, we are looking at losing between £7m and £10m. The claw-back for TV is going to be £10m-£30m. That is just us. So, what is football going to do to ensure the entire pyramid survives this? The discussion is being avoided. For the next three, six or 12 months clubs are going to have no income. One solution Hodgkinson has suggested is reducing players' wages at every level of the game.
This escalation in strength at the top of the league is shown in the numbers below. There is remarkable consistency in the combined win percentage of teams finishing in the top four from the 1960s through to the 1990s but the 2000s saw a big relative increase to almost 51%, while the 2010s saw another huge leap to over 55%, even as the make-up of the top four became more varied. Essentially, fans of the English league's leading sides (whoever they were, or are) are considerably more likely to see their team win now than their parents or grandparents did in the post-war years.
It is clear that Manchester city is playing without pressure they are relaxed and surely huge favorites to win this game and also I think they are going to do it with at least 3 goals difference because first of all palace is not in good shape and also because city players surely remember last game versus palace at home because they lost that game with 2 3 and today the city Will be very motivated to get their revenge and to win with 3 0 or maybe 4 0 or Even 5 0 so I surely take this handicap
While some clubs have opted to use that scheme, a number have taken other steps to reduce their costs while football is suspended during the pandemic. Players at Championship leaders Leeds United have already volunteered to take a wage deferral while Birmingham City players who earn more than £6,000 a week have been asked to take a 50% cut for the next four months. In Europe, Barcelona players have taken a 70% pay cut while Juventus players and manager Maurizio Sarri have agreed to freeze their pay for four months.
Somewhere in the world, Sam Allardyce may have had a wry chuckle at the sight of Arsenal being kicked around by Bolton. READ: Sokratis and Nketiah fire Arsenal past Portsmouth Arsenal were poor in attack in the first half – but at least they restricted Portsmouth to penalty-box scrambles rather than clear chances, with even the much-maligned David Luiz relishing the opportunity to do some dirty work as balls were launched into the area.
Varazdin have been looking very poor all season with a 3-8-16 record in 27 matches and with 8 goals in 13 home games they have also been the worst scoring home team in the league. Including the friendlies they have lost 10 of the last 13 matches.
Pogba feels at home in Italy," he is quoted as saying by the Guardian. Italy is like his second home or family, same for [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic. That’s why Paul would like to come back to Juventus. But we’ll go to speak about that just after Euro 2020. Pogba wants to play at the best levels always . Manchester United now, in this moment where the club is not having a good period.
At the time, I just wanted to be in there with my team-mates, we were going through a tough period," Keane said. I didn't want to be seen to be throwing the towel in even though I had a valid injury, I just wanted to get out there, give it my best and try to turn things around; in hindsight it wasn't probably the best thing to do. I think the main thing is learning from it and after that learning about my own mental health and how I can deal with that going forward.
But while the Amex was obviously lacking in fervent home support, this did not hamper Albion's appetite for the fight or ability to rouse themselves after a setback. Pepe's opener was a hammer blow, especially coming at a time in the game when the league's three-month absence due to the coronavirus pandemic would have started to take its physical toll on the players. But they dug deep and found parity through Dunk, who took advantage of some Arsenal hesitancy in their own box to poke the ball in after it had ricocheted his way.

I really fancy this bet and I say this just looking at how Ludogorets played their 3 visits here at Etar in the league during the past 3 season everytime they scored 4+ goals and in two of those games also conceded one goal as all those games went with even over 4.5 goals scored in them while Etar has some really big losses at home this season for example CSKA Sofia won here with 5-0 in the end and once they start conceding they do mind conceding more being quite open type of team.
Gareth Bale made his first Real Madrid start since 5 October as Zinedine Zidane's side moved top of La Liga with victory at Alaves. Real captain Sergio Ramos opened the scoring with a flicked header 10 minutes into the second half. Lucas Perez equalised from the penalty spot, but Dani Carvajal bundled home from close range to earn Real the win. Barcelona will return to the top of the table if they beat Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
Mirandes are mid-table in La Liga 2 compared to Sevilla's third in La Liga. Mirandes have struggled against lower opposition to get to this stage. The last five years have seen Sevilla only lose away Copa del Rey ties against Barcelona and Real Madrid. La Liga 2 side Mirandes bid to cause a big upset in the Copa del Rey when they host Sevilla in the last sixteen.
