I don't class playing Liverpool as work' - the former non-league player facing RedsWatch all the goals from FA Cup fourth roundHow to watch and follow FA Cup fourth round Media playback is not supported on this device Highlights: Shrewsbury Town 1-0 Bristol City "We have four players from one club. It's a unique scenario in the UK. I started doing a little bit of social media along that line. I am not a big Twitter fan, I must admit, but I realised the club has a great following on Twitter, so I started to use the platform to promote our Spice Boys.
Manchester United were the first to blot his copybook with a 2-1 win earlier this month at Old Trafford, but this home defeat by Chelsea, the club he led to three Premier League titles, was much more worrying, underlining the task he has taken on. Mourinho had never lost a home match against a previous club in any competition, winning 12 and drawing one, but his former midfielder Frank Lampard totally outwitted his old mentor in the coaching stakes as his Chelsea side dominated throughout.
Under Carlo Ancelotti, Richarlison's performances appear much more focused than they were under Marco Silva, and he has more freedom for expression than under Duncan Ferguson. Three months ago I would have said a top-four place was out of the question for the Toffees. Now I'm not entirely sure. Did you know? Richarlison had more shots (5) and more shots on target (3) than any other player in Everton's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Like most relationships fans are often unpredictable, hilarious, wonderful and yes sometimes down right painful. Since the restart of the Premier League season not having football fans in our stadiums has been torturous. Throughout this lockdown we have all realised the value of football fans in our lives. They can be outrageously funny, incredibly uplifting and also desperately rude but the game can't survive without them.

The Premier League can't celebrate its financial domination and then expect John McDonnell to take over as chairman at Liverpool, for example. Tottenham Hotspur chief-executive Daniel Levy (L) looks on next to Liverpool owner John Henry following the UEFA Champions League Final between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on June 01, 2019Getty Images To some extent, the fans who demand huge transfer outlays can't really be disgusted when clubs decide to make use of government schemes to ease their financial burden (of course, there are plenty of fans who are opposed to one and not the other).
Both sides have struggled slightly in front of goal with LASK averaging 1.5 goals per game, a figure skewed by their big win in matchweek four, and Rosenborg finding the net just once. We don't this changing too much and have predicted the 2.5 goal line to remain untouched with both teams largely cancelling each other out.
The female ownership was never a driving force; it was sort of a byproduct of something bigger. Kindle Betz said the mood around the league is one of collaboration among owners - a relatively rarity in the cutthroat world of professional sports. I don’t know of any other professional sports where you can go do a site visit and have an owner tell you, ‘here’s absolutely what you do not want to do,’ or another team say, ‘Hey, if you need to get your supporter groups incorporated, we did it, we have a great reference,'" said Kindle Betz.
At that time there was skepticism about whether the U. S. Canada would support a professional (soccer) league," Abbott, who was MLS's first employee when he was hired three years before the inaugural season, told Reuters in a telephone interview. Clearly we had a lot of optimism that it would work but there were a lot of people that needed to be convinced.
We hardly need to explain why they aren’t, and while they could yet be played – behind closed doors or during one week in summer – here’s how the last eight probably, no, definitely, would have gone this month… UEFA suspends Champions League "until further notice" and postpones national games in June First things first: Deciding the quarter-final line up Atletico Madrid, Atalanta, Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain are officially in the hat for the quarters, having completed their last-16 ties, but the identity of the remaining four sides is still yet to be decided.
Borussia Monchengladbach's players have offered to forgo their wages, with the German Football League (DFL) warning the coronavirus pandemic could affect thousands of jobs. The top two divisions in Germany are currently suspended until 2 April. The players know what's going on," said the Bundesliga club's managing director Stephan Schippers. It is their job. They have already informed themselves and thought about it.
It is a shame, because we are giving people the chance to speak badly of us. We need to adapt to the situation, but I am not going to leave a player on the bench or at home because they went out and celebrated. The club confirmed on Monday that tests had shown Neymar suffered the cartilage injury during the first half of Saturday's Ligue 1 match.
The Merseyside derby has been given the go-ahead to be held at Everton's Goodison Park stadium, while Liverpool can play home games at Anfield when the season restarts. The match against Everton on 21 June could be the Reds' first chance to clinch the Premier League title. It had been one of the games considered a risk because of fears fans could congregate at the ground and there was a possibility of it being played at a neutral venue, with Southampton's St Mary's earmarked.
They have scored in six straight matches, and in the last 10 outings, they have suffered just two losses.

However, he had struggled to ignite Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and with Arsenal, deployed so many different tactical systems that the side often looked as though they had no plan at all. When you combine that with a manager whose communication skills were said to be so poor that coach Freddie Ljungberg was often mentioned as the one who would end up trying to explain things to the squad.
The Linfield squad member was in contact with a player from Portadown-based junior football club Hanover FC, who tested positive for the virus. It was confirmed over the weekend that a player from Portadown-based club Hanover FC had tested positive for cononavirus.

Patson Daka reacted quickest to a rebound to open the scoring in the 43rd minute and a low Takumi Minamino shot from the right made it 2-0 before halftime.

By Simon Evans April 7 (Reuters) - Greg Clarke, the chairman of England's Football Association, has warned that clubs across the country could vanish as their finances collapse under the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Clubs and the players union, the Professional Footballers Association (PFA), have been unable so far to reach an agreement on wage cuts and deferrals to help clubs during the suspension of action.
Fiorentina is in place 13 in Serie A. They are not passing a good moment now but however I see the big favorite to win this match. They have enough quality players in their team to win this match and I believe they will win with 2 goals difference.
The hosts have struggled at home this term, failing to win against any side above 16th in the table. That’s rooted Fiorentina in the bottom half, with their early good form tailing off to leave them in the lower reaches of the table. Fiorentina head here without a win in six, while they’ve failed to win 17 of their last 19 league games at home.
All nine games spread over Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be played behind closed doors. Cramer said police would be on patrol outside Dortmund's Westfalenstadion to ensure fans did not gather during their game. We'd never prefer to play without spectators but in a crisis like this, without any alternative, going behind the curtain is better than no games," he said. I can't be 100% sure, but I'm very sure this won't become a problem.

David Moyes has been linked with a shock return to Goodison Park after Everton lost 2-0 at home to Norwich on the weekend, with Bournemouth's Eddie Howe also a rumoured target.

Against this backdrop of inaction, will a new Arsenal manager actually change anything unless the board alters its approach?How was Ozil awarded such an eye-watering contract given his known inconsistency? Why - and this was a hugely damaging decision - was Aaron Ramsey allowed to leave on a free transfer to join Juventus, despite his insistence he thought he had agreed a new deal?Between Emery and Arsenal's hierarchy, the club has been allowed to become dysfunctional and the manager's number was up - if it was not already - once there were thousands upon thousands of empty seats at Emirates Stadium for Thursday's Europa League game.
Ricardo Pereira also put in a graft worthy of praise. However, it has to be Jamie Vardy, scoring in his eighth consecutive league match - and the team’s eighth consecutive league win - to take the accolade, looking as dependable in front of the goal as Foxes fans have come to expect. PLAYER RATINGS Aston Villa: Heaton 6, El Mohamady 6, Konsa 6, Mings 5, Targett 6, Nakamba 5, El Ghazi 7, Douglas Luiz 6, McGinn 6, Grealish 7, Wesley 5.
The Cherries doubled their lead deservedly six minutes later. Ryan Fraser's low drive from a Harry Wilson set-piece was spilled by former Liverpool keeper Reina in the direction of Ake, who stretched a leg out to send a low finish into the bottom corner. The one sour note for Howe and the home crowd was the sending-off of Lerma on 51 minutes. The Colombia midfielder received both yellow cards for tussles with Villa's star man Grealish and will miss the Cherries' next two games, away to Sheffield United and Burnley.
He is a future leader, a future captain, maybe, of England, Manchester United, who knows?"Rashford's intervention has been part of a wider contribution to social debate by high-profile footballers.

Meppen will be hosting Hallescher fc in their game in Germany Bundesliga iii ,the last game of their head to head were favored the visitors with two goals scored but here I back the hosts to take all maximum points.

The visitors surprised the fans of Waldhof Mannheim fc by defeating them with three goals to nil at their home but the visitors have an away weakness, they are poor on away games and they have nine games since they won away match.

Jose Mourinho would celebrate his return to Chelsea by winning the Premier League. Well, apart from the fact Manchester City just edged out Liverpool, that was fairly near the mark. Liverpool's consolation, according to this soothsayer, would be winning the FA Cup. Congratulations, Arsenal - who came from 2-0 down to beat Hull City at Wembley. Champions League winners? Why Bayern Munich of course. Well done Real Madrid for winning 'La Decima', their 10th win in the competition.
Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. My choice for today is a very interesting game from Ceria A Italy between Udine and Hellas Verona. This game is more important for home team because they are so close to the bottom of the league and they have chance to lose your position in this league. The home team have not win last few games and I think is time to get a win. Verona have not lost last eight games and they are stay on the sixth place of the league. I will take here win for Udine with one goal.
Rakitic plays a ball through for Messi, he rounds the goalkeeper and fires into the back of the net. KEY STATS Lionel Messi became the first player in Spanish football history to win 500 matches.

It worked reasonably well," he tells BBC Sport, adding that there were still some players who were "sceptical". One of the players was struggling to sleep so we monitored him and realised one of the issues was his temperature," Wilson says. We changed his bedding and that helped massively. I know the players well enough now that I know what goes on in their lives. I know the players who have recently had children and the ones whose partners are not sleeping well.
Chelsea's attackers seem to excel in the wider spaces afforded to them as the counter-attacking visiting team, and having averaged 2.66 goals per 90 minutes of away game action across their last nine matches away from Stamford Bridge, we're backing them to grab two more against Brighton on Wednesday.
United needed the instant response after Leicester's win earlier on Thursday and there is real efficiency as well as a rapier thrust to Solskjaer's side that has taken them on this long unbeaten run. It leaves them in contention for that top-four place, as well as the Europa League, and they also have an FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley this weekend. Most mouth-watering of all, they face a potentially decisive visit to Leicester on the final day of the season.
I know there are just 3 points separating these two clubs at this moment in the league as El Masry has been quite poor so far by their usual standards, but they have been involved in Continental competition where they made it past the group stage from their Confederation Cup group stage, on 2nd place behind Pyramids, but they also have two games less played than Tanta right now and overall are really the better team between them but odds are so high on the home win because El Masry is just 4-4-5 in the league this season.
People may think my name got me the best of care but every patient in the NHS gets the best of care," Dalglish told The Sunday Post.

So, why was it so hard to choose Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea to finish in that order?Tottenham's turbulent campaign after four consecutive top-four finishes caught 22 people out, as did the rapid demise of Arsenal's revival under former boss Unai Emery after a promising first year in charge and some exciting summer signings - 13 of the 24 thought they would make it.
