Can you imagine Jurgen Klopp's men handing over a few quid every Saturday to play at Anfield? Jordan Henderson sat in the corner of the changing rooms working out who is yet to pay up? No offside This led to the demise of the "goal hanger"Who REALLY knows the rules of offside these days anyway? Final phase of play? Interfering with play? Armpits? Saves the linesman a job and it means you won't have any arguments between VAR and the underside of your shoulder.
Six weeks of ATP tennis, gone. The season-opening F1 race, on the brink. Ligue 1, La Liga, MLS and the Eredivisie, all suspended. All five of America's major sports leagues, suspended. Both of Tuesday night’s Champions League matches, between Real Madrid and Manchester City and Juventus and Lyon, unable to take place with two teams in quarantine.
Jefferson Lerma, who found himself on a yellow card inside the opening 20 minutes, was sent off for the hosts early in the second half after he fouled Villa midfielder Jack Grealish deep inside his own half. Villa pulled themselves back into the contest when Tanzanian forward Mbwana Samatta scored on his Premier League debut, reacting quickest to nod home Keinan Davis' deflected effort.
It says Europe is now the epicentre for the virus, which originated in China. Please don't underestimate the threat of this virus, to you or those around you, and employ best practice to limit the spread, including good hygiene and proper social distancing, which are both key," Shi said in a note to supporters. I write this note at a time of great adversity, not just for football, or for the country my family and I are honoured to now call our home, but for the population of the entire world that we share.
Winter tweeted that the forward was carrying a single stress fracture in his back and now has a double stress fracture. Follow Liverpool versus Manchester United hereRashford has scored 22 goals for club and country this season, with 14 of those coming in the Premier League.

For drama, does it get any better?"Ian Wright: "If City did not finish that off, they would have been ridiculed. I read somewhere that was Mario Balotelli's only assist at Manchester City. When you look at the build-up, Balotelli was falling over but he scooped it up. Was Aguero going to shoot? He didn't there but then he hammered it in. It was one of those brilliant moments you watch where you wonder whether it has happened.

However, the Edinburgh club still has a lot of problems to deal with, namely in defence where they've only kept a clean sheet on one occasion on the opening day of the campaign. Hibs face the same difficulty away from home, conceding an average of 2.33 goals but also managing to net 1.17 times on their travels. Moreover, the Hibees have won away at bottom-placed St Johnstone and have recently drawn with Hamilton.
For the International Club Friendlies, we expect Qviding FIF to meet with Oddevold for a match. In their previous head to head meetings of the two teams, it is evident that most are times when they take advantage of playing from their home ground to obtain victory. It is evident from the results that out of the last 4 meetings, Oddevold has won twice while playing at home and Qviding FIF has won once. Out of the 4 meetings, 1 match went as a draw.
So, it is a blow for Abraham if he has to spend any length of time on the sidelines now, because this could be his opportunity to stake his claim for a spot at Euro 2020. It is not his fault if he can't play, but one player's misfortune is always an opportunity for someone else - for club and country. At Chelsea, we have hardly seen anything of Olivier Giroud this season until the past couple of weeks, but he is a decent back-up and he gives them a different option up front.

We don't think anyone can return to action until the health authorities advise them so," he said. Their voice is decisive in any decision. Brazil has reported a total of 23,430 cases and 1,328 deaths from COVID-19 as of Monday, although a study released the same day suggested the South American nation likely has 12 times more cases than are being officially reported by the government.
Pep Guardiola has questioned why more Manchester City fans did not turn up for his side's 4-0 win over Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round. The attendance of 39,223 at Etihad Stadium was the third highest in the round, behind West Ham and Newcastle. Today was not full - I don't know why," the City manager said. He added he hoped there would be "more people" and "more support" at Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Manchester United.
That eyebrow is going to be getting a lot of exercise. Still, if fans are looking for signs of life in the squad, they can perhaps take heart from reports (£) that some senior players decided to give a little back to an angry Duncan Ferguson. Anybody brave enough to try that has to have a little spine about them.

Jurgen Klopp's men were just five games away from equalling Arsenal's unbeaten run of 49 matches, and with only trips to the Emirates and Manchester City providing imposing challenges, many expected them to complete the whole season unbeaten, as Arsene Wenger's side did in 2003-04. And Arsenal were among the first to react to their place in Premier League history remaining intact.
Watford have followed Brighton and Aston Villa in publicly opposing the use of neutral venues in the Premier League's proposed Project Restart plan. Hornets chairman and chief executive Scott Duxbury says it would compromise fairness and sporting integrity. It is understood Premier League clubs are not planning to vote on whether to use neutral venues at a Monday meeting. The vote looks likely to be held later in May and 14 of the 20 clubs must vote in favour for it to be adopted.

It's one of the things I'm so proud of in my career: going from that to living in a different country and winning Champions Leagues. It's from one end of the spectrum to the other and not many are going to have that experience. I'd say to my younger self: 'Enjoy what you do and make sure you work hard. Everything I have now is through hard work. I have some talent, but my hard work outweighs my talent in my career.
MAN OF THE MATCH Fraser Forster (Celtic): It’s just as well for Celtic that Forster is the size of an electricity pylon. Indeed, their goalkeeper made five or six stunning saves to keep Rangers out. Jullien might have scored the winning goal for the Hoops, but Forster was the one who got his team over the match.

That is something I would recommend. People's health 'has to take the absolute priority'The vast majority of EFL clubs released statements on Friday supporting the announcement to postpone matches in the top four divisions. Danny Macklin, chief executive at League Two side Leyton Orient, told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's 100% the right decision. The health of every football fan, players, staff and everyone associated with each football club clearly has to take the absolute priority.

Thankfully for them, that did not come to pass, and the Premier League's return this month enabled them to cap their stunning success. However, because of the measures put in place in response to the virus, the Reds will not be able to celebrate their long-awaited success with their supporters immediately, at least not in the traditional sense. As with Wednesday's impressive 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, when they next play at Anfield - against Aston Villa on Sunday, 5 July, and for their two other remaining home games - it will be behind closed doors.
De Jong, who has played 15 times for the Dutch national team, was wanted by other clubs, including Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, Paris St-Germain and Juventus, before a visit from Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu helped seal the move to Spain. At the beginning I didn't have the feeling Barcelona really wanted me. But they said you have a good chance of being a starter and it was really easy for me.
All 32 of this season's FA Cup third round ties will kick off a minute late as part of a campaign to promote mental health, says the Football Association.

Second placed Olympique Marseille have emerged as the realest challengers to PSG for the Ligue 1 title and when they travel to 15th placed St. Etienne they will be hoping to close in on the league leaders. St. Etienne have 28 points and Marseille 43 ahead of this match. St. Etienne have managed three wins and two losses, with just one clean sheet in the process.
He probably doesn't need to be reminded that on December 4, his new club travel to Old Trafford and three days before Christmas they host Chelsea. Mourinho joins Tottenham at a time when they are 14th but a win in this early kick-off could see them climb as high as fifth for a few hours, now that's really special! Tottenham aren't in good form though with no wins in their last five league games and their away form is appalling.
And yet, with a run of 10 games unbeaten and the addition of an operator who looks a genuine class act in Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon, Solskjaer now at least has the opportunity to clear away some of the doubts come season's end. United have a favourable draw against Austrians LASK in the last 16 of the Europa League, travel to Premier League strugglers Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter-final and now stand only three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League and five behind Leicester City in third.
We have shown how we could host the tournament in Japan in our bid, so I don't think our efforts were in vain," he said. After the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the JFA felt it unlikely one country would be awarded two major women's football tournaments back-to-back. The 2019 Women's World Cup, hosted by France, was the tournament's biggest edition yet, breaking television audience records.
But despite that, his market value should be high. He still has lots to offer, he just needs his spectacular skillset to be harnessed at a new club. WHO IS INTERESTED? Any club who can afford him. In reality, he may be used as a bargaining chip by Barcelona to lure either Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez or PSG's Neymar.

Jalapa is team that is playing on less goals on their matches, and especially when at home, they are with the cautious approach, where avoid to play with a lot of open space in the pitch. They have won 2:1 clash in the recent round, but it was as visiting side.
Walter Ferretti recovered from a poor run in march with 4 wins in the last 5 matches. And at home they have won the last 4 matches scoring 14 goals while keeping a clean sheet in all 4 of them.

Mourinho won the Champions League with Porto in 2003-04 and with Inter Milan in 2009-10"We need to qualify," added Mourinho. It's only when my teams arrive in the quarter-finals that I start thinking 'we have a chance'. In this moment we are far from it. Every Champions League campaign there are details around your success or failure. How many times I lost on penalties or in the last minute. Details make the difference.
San-Pedro are not in the best form at the moment with no win in the last 6 matches and have dropped to the 8th place in the Ivory Coast League. And they also haven't won in the first 2 games in the group stage of the CAF Confederations Cup. However, at home they are undefeated in this competition in all 6 games keeping a clean sheet in the last 5.
Boston have a 20-7 record for the season and are second overall in the Eastern Conference. They come into this game having won three matches in a row and are 7-2 for games played this month. The Celtics are looking to repeat the win they had over the Raptors earlier in the season when winning 112-106.
It was just what they needed to consolidate their leadership of the standings and they can dare dream of another league title. Chiefs will however want to address their attacking woes, having failed to score more than a goal in their last six matches. Defensively, they have done fairly well, with three clean sheets in the last five matches and the one against Pirates will for sure push them.
I really see plenty of goals in this match from Germany 3rd league and I will take here even option over 3,5 because I think that is pretty real to expect. So, Bayern Munich II is team who is playing without any pressure this season and they are in this moment in the middle of the table. In last ten matches, they are played efficient in eight duels. Carl Zeiss Jena is last on the table and this team is have huge problems with defense. I see here easy home win and at least four goals, let's say 3-1 or 4-1.
Even before Luiz's dismissal and Jorginho's goal from the spot, the Blues dominated and should have been ahead after a hesitant start by the Gunners. Having lost to a 93rd-minute goal at Newcastle on Saturday, Chelsea came flying out of the blocks. Andreas Christensen headed wide from a corner when the Denmark defender should have done better while Abraham was six yards out when he nodded another chance straight at Leno.
Burnley host bottom club Norwich City while on Monday 13-time winners Arsenal are at Bournemouth. West Ham United will have to put aside their relegation fears as they host Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion while Chelsea go to Hull City. An oddity will see Birmingham City play an "away" tie at third-tier Coventry City in their own St Andrews Stadium by virtue of the fact that Coventry are tenants there.
If we're still playing the 2019-20 season through August and September then the SPFL fear that the contract is compromised. If there's a hope that Sky Sports will just shrug and accept a delayed start, perhaps as late as October or November depending on what happens next with Covid-19, without imposing financial penalties then it's likely to be a forlorn one. Whether you agree with their rationale or not, that's what's driving the SPFL board (with the exception of Stewart Robertson of Rangers who sits on the board) and its resolution to end the season.
Leicester City have surprised many this season and a return to the Champions League is looking a distinct possibility for them. Their away form is good with only Manchester United and Liverpool beating them this season. The goals have certainly been flowing and they will cause plenty of problems for Brighton in this game. Defensively they are strong too with only eight goals conceded in the league this season, the best record in the Premier League. Brighton have won their last three home league games but against sides who are struggling with little knowledge of what an away win is. Go for Leicester to get the win here.
