The 33-year-old needs to play if he wants to have a role in France's squad for the Euros next summer, and Didier Deschamps has made no secret of the fact that he won't pick the forward if he isn't playing. The postponement of the Euros gives Giroud a chance to get back in the frame, he'll be desperate to take that opportunity.

This should be one casual match for both of the teams. They don't have a chance for promotion while also don't have to worry about relegation so they can play without pressure and burden. Both of the teams are doing well this season and are going to finish around 9th place which is huge success for them without any doubt. They are both in a good shape but as I said I don't think we are going to see a good match. The matches between this two are usually difficult and tight and not interesting and I expect that same scenario to happen tonight.

Pellegrini knows that must change. We need to recover in 48 hours and we must try to win our home games because in the last games we played there, we have not collected the amount of points that we need," he said. While West Ham face a relegation battle, Palace's first win in four league games lifted them into the top half of the table.
There is nothing negative you could say about Christian," Dier said. I have been here almost as long as he has and he has always handled himself in the best way. He has always been one of the most professional players I have known and one of the best players at Tottenham on the most consistent basis. Whatever he has done, he has done with the best intentions. So he does not deserve that from anyone.
It even rained the first few days we were here. The tournament has been played in hotter temperatures than that in the past. A 'work of art' stadium - but some mobility issuesThe Club World Cup final took place at Doha's Khalifa International Stadium, which is one of the venues for the World Cup. The other seven are at various stages of construction, with work expected to be completed by 2020. Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman has no concerns the requisite number of grounds for the tournament will be constructed in time.
Triglav in their field take Maribor. Teams are at different poles of the table, if the hosts are fighting for survival, then Maribor is fighting for the championship, if you lose points with such opponents, you may even lose top 3, the density is amazing in the league, so I think that Maribor will defeat his opponent in on the whole, he will hold the match quite confidently, they always win away, this is a tradition and their customers love, and here the hosts also play with empty stands, so I think that they have practically no chances in this game, Maribor is a favorite here and must prove it
The home team Cheltenham Town in the League Two arena just finished 36 matches and temporarily stood. 5th ranking with 64 points. This is the result of 17 wins, the remaining 13 draws are 6 losses.

Back at home, experts believe that Cheltenham Town is not difficult to bring back 3 points.
Derby County FC said it was "aware of comments made by a BBC employee after yesterday's game against Huddersfield Town, directed specifically at a section of our young players". The club added: "We have been in contact with the BBC throughout the day and underline that we do not in any way condone any form of discrimination. We take comments like these extremely seriously, we do not tolerate them, and stand shoulder to shoulder, together as one with all our players.
EPS is going to face Kultsu. The hosts of this match draw 1:1 in the first match of the new season in Finland and today they should pick the first victory. The hosts are a much better team than Kultsu and they should not struggle here against this team. The visitors played at home against JaPS and lost 0:5. They are so bad team and weak in the defense that's why I don't believe that they will avoid a high loss today. I think EPS will be able to score here 3 goals or even more. My bet is EPS to win with this handicap
La Liga could resume as early as 28 May in the best-case scenario as the league discusses its options, says its president Javier Tebas. No Spanish side has played a competitive game since 11 March, when Atletico Madrid knocked holders Liverpool out of the Champions League. Tebas says training will not return until emergency measures - in place until 26 April - are lifted in Spain. He estimates clubs could lose 1bn euros if the current campaign is cancelled.
The draw was introduced by UEFA's deputy general secretary Giorgio Marchetti, before handing the draw over to former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamman who won the UEFA Cup with the club in 2001.

The two sides, along with City, are locked together at the top of the Super League. But while we all wait for that, let’s enjoy Arsenal breaking new ground in the goal reaction video game: RETRO CORNER You know a player’s been around for a while when they’re both technically retro and still playing now.
He has a good relationship with the players and knows when a rocket is needed. He is very good at taking other opinions on board. The team always comes first. How we play as a team is different to how I have played anywhere else. If one player doesn’t do his job, the whole thing breaks down. That is down the characters he has put together. As a player, you are always asked about the team spirit and you always give the same generic answer ‘its great’.

Gunners short in defence?Arsenal have been linked with Manchester City defender John Stones and AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie but Arteta denied they have any interest.

When I look at centre-backs he has many attributes that I like from one, but we're not interested.

Ex-Arsenal and West Brom man Gnabry converted his 19th goal of the season by latching onto a long ball over the top to lob a smart finish over the advancing goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. Teenager Florian Wirtz, 17, came off the bench to score a lovely consolation goal late on, cutting onto his left foot inside the area and curling a strike past the reach of Manuel Neuer.

Shortly after the incident, Leko and Bonne were seen to exchange words before Leko reported what he had heard to Brooks. Straight after the game, Brooks informed Casilla that there had been an allegation of racist abuse made against him and that he would be reporting the incident to the FA. Casilla's team-mate Tyler Roberts, who knew Leko from his time at West Bromwich Albion, sent Leko a Whatsapp message on the coach home to ask if Casilla had said something racist.
That might be the answer to our original question. Vardy’s inflexion point might have come the summer after he won the league, when he turned down a move to Arsenal. From that point onwards it felt as if Vardy was written off, we were told he had missed his chance for the big time and before long he would be yesterday’s news as his pace eventually deserted him.

He's a top personality and character. After PSG, Arteta moved to Scotland to join Rangers and, again, his enthusiasm for assuming responsibility became abundantly clear. He was just 19 years and 48 days old when his 94th-minute penalty earned Rangers the 2002-03 league title thanks to a goal difference advantage of just one over Celtic. In the event, because Rangers had scored more goals they would have won the title even if Arteta had missed his spot-kick, but nonetheless the pressure on even the most experienced and mature of players would have been almost unbearable.
ROME, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Talking points from the Serie A weekend: LAZIO LAY DOWN SCUDETTO CREDENTIALS Lazio left no doubt that they should be taken seriously as a contender in this season's thrilling Serie A title race, as they came from behind to beat Inter Milan 2-1 at a packed Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

The principality side opened the scoring thanks to league top scorer Wissam Ben Yedder's 18th goal but Kasper Dolberg completed a double in stoppage time to give the hosts a deserved victory. Monaco, who had drawn their two previous games, were reduced to 10 men in the 86th minute when Stevan Jovetic picked up a red card for a dangerous tackle, seven minutes before Dolberg netted the winner.
If Uefa manage to stage the remaining ties, Tuchel would have to mould his side into shape - mentally and physically - for potentially five top-grade matches with no competitive football in their legs between now and the end of August when the Champions League final might be staged. Should the other leagues restart, PSG would be at a massive disadvantage. Mbappe, Neymar and the mercato Neymar and Kylian Mbappe finish the French campaign with 31 top-flight goals between themThe Spanish press have been getting excited over the possibility of seeing both of PSG's crown jewels in La Liga next season.
