It is only five weeks since Watford got their first Premier League home win of the season - against United. They have lost only once in seven games since. Defeat by Nigel Pearson's men would be a body blow. Losing to League One Tranmere would be a catastrophe given Rovers have lost three successive home games in 2020 - to Coventry, Leicester Under-21s and Ipswich - by a combined score of 8-3. Fan furyThere will be no repeat of the mass pre-final whistle exit of Old Trafford from the United fans at Vicarage Road or Prenton Park on Sunday but a repeat of the songs belted out against the Glazer family and Woodward cannot be ruled out.
This is the first meeting between these two sides so there’s no history to speak of but this should be an interesting game as Western United try to get back to winning ways and Sydney look to maintain pace at the top of the league. Sydney have scored 14 goals in six games so far and have looked very dangerous in the final third whilst Western United have averaged 1.1 goals scored and conceded this season.
Eleventh in the Championship table suggests there is plenty of work to be done. Read the full story Woodward plans early transfer business The Mirror runs a story that argues Manchester United’s executive vice chairman, Ed Woodward, is planning an early move to the club’s summer business. The United transfer head is a fan of Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, and will offer the 19-year-old England international £200,000 a week.
West Ham has already taken a number of precautionary measures and its Rush Green training ground will undergo a further deep clean and is closed until further notice. The club's other training grounds at Chadwell Heath and Little Heath, as well as London Stadium, are also being deep cleaned. WolvesWolves failed in an appeal to Uefa to get their Europa League last 16 first-leg tie away against Olympiakos postponed after the Greek club's owner confirmed he had coronavirus two days beforehand.
Portimonense’s main issue this season has been scoring goals, as made evident by their record of two goals and four failures to score in their last six away games. Boavista, meanwhile, have kept a clean sheet in two of their last four at home but themselves only manage an average of one goal per game. This all points towards a 1-0 correct score prediction being the most appealing option.
Spadafora posted on his Facebook account that players, fans and referees should not be put at risk at a time when authorities were asking citizens to make “huge sacrifices” to battle the outbreak. The comments caused confusion in Parma, where the players were in the tunnel ready to start the match, scheduled for 11:30 GMT.

Bright Osayi-Samuel, Lee Wallace and Josh Scowen also scored for Mark Warburton's side with substitute George Byers bagging a consolation for the Swans. Elsewhere, Kenneth Zohore scored the only goal as West Brom knocked Championship rivals Charlton out while Barnsley defeated Crewe 3-1. Northampton beat Burton 4-2 but Bristol Rovers and Coventry will meet again after seeing out a 2-2 draw, with Rovers captain Tony Craig scoring an own goal after giving his side the lead.
However, it's perhaps unsurprising Leicester's players looked a little lacklustre, given they played nine matches between 14 December and the match with Saints. That is a hectic schedule even by the Premier League's standards and means Rodgers is likely to be thankful for the eight-day break before they travel to Burnley on 19 January for their next match. Man of the match - Danny Ings (Southampton) The former Liverpool and Burnley striker was a threat throughout and missing a one-on-one early in the game and hitting the bar twice, he finally scored a goal his endeavour deserved to clinch all three points for his side'It couldn't have gone any better' - what they saidSouthampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl: "We deserved it because we had so many chances.
We haven't really seen him," Dyche told reporters. Of course we know him, we know what he does in training. I think he's just part of that thinking. So I think it's too early to worry about that, we want to see him get fit first and get on the pitch at some point and then take it from there. Drinkwater was charged with drink driving in April while at his parent club Chelsea and then Blues boss Maurizio Sarri had said the midfielder had no future at the club as he was not suited to their style of play.
German sides Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, have also agreed to take pay cuts. In a statement, Barca skipper Messi said: "Before going any further, we want to make it clear that we were always willing to reduce our salaries because we understand perfectly that we are in an exceptional situation. We, as players, are always here to help the the club when they ask. It does not cease to surprise us that from within the club there were those who tried to put us under the magnifying glass and tried to add pressure to do something that we always knew we would do.

The sad thing in football is that, because it has been established a long time ago which the big clubs are, you will always have that situation with teams like Spurs where their best players have to decide if they stay here or move to a big club. It is exactly the same with Harry Kane at the moment. He is going to be at a crossroad, thinking 'what do I do now?'. The situation is maybe difficult now because of coronavirus and the money, but he is in exactly the same situation I was in.
Eddie Gray collects the ball in the centre circle and immediately sets his sights on Chelsea’s goal. But David Webb has other ideas. Fuelled by fresh memories of his roasting at the hands of the Leeds winger a couple of weeks prior, the defender hits him, both feet off the ground, no prisoners. Bang. It takes all of two minutes for the 1970 FA Cup final replay to live up to its billing as a game best avoided by the faint of heart.
A crowd of more than 31,000 watched City beat Manchester United at the Etihad on the first day of the Barclays FA Women's Super League season and that record was smashed last month when 38,262 watched Arsenal win the North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. These headline figures are impressive but attendances on the whole often don't make for such pleasant reading, with the likes of Everton only bringing in an average of 325 fans each week.
Just like UNAM Pumas, Pachuca are strong going forward but have clear and obvious defensive frailties. Indeed, over their 18 opening phase games, they scored a big average of 1.77 goals a game but also conceded a concerning 1.44; more than demonstrating that they are an outfit that only excels at one end of the pitch.
He is talking with Arsenal so I don't know what is going to happen. Gunners chief executive Vinai Venkatesham was pictured outside former Spain U21 international Arteta's home after both flew north following City's 3-0 win at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. It is not yet known whether Arteta has been offered the chance to succeed compatriot Unai Emery, who was sacked in November. City are reportedly fuming with Arsenal about their pursuit of former Gunners midfielder Arteta and have told the London club it will cost them a seven-figure sum to prise him away.
The league has made significant strides over the last three years and I look forward to its continued development as the global destination for our world class athletes and passionate fans. Duffy will take up the role of executive vice president at Orlando Pride, where she will head all operations related to the club and report directly to the team's chief executive officer.
I think this is the tie of the last 16," says Laurens. I can easily see a 4-3 Dortmund in first leg and 5-3 PSG in the second leg. They are probably the best two attacking teams in Europe right now. But they are also not the best at defending. Lucien Favre's men had been top of the Bundesliga but have fallen four points off the pace with two defeats in their last five games, including a 4-3 loss at Bayern Leverkusen.
We knew the change was coming but it was a massive thing to go from 18 to 10 - nearly half the league are playing to stay up," says Smith. It makes every game more nerve-wracking. There were seven or maybe more matches that were relegation battles every week and probably 12 clubs playing to avoid relegation. For Pettigrew, who only broke through midway through the season, the focus was simply on staying in the Motherwell team.
Bolton's final Championship (second tier) match last season against Brentford was postponed and later cancelled after players boycotted the game over unpaid wages. This season, their fourth League One game against Doncaster in August was postponed as the club, who fielded only three senior players in a game three days earlier, was concerned about the welfare of their younger players.
Ings and Long both worked tirelessly in attack, with the former deservedly getting on the scoresheet late on, but it was the defensive display which will have pleased Hassenhuttl most. They limited the usually creative Foxes to just a few chances and when Saints did come under pressure, Alex McCarthy and Jack Stephens stood firm. Lacklustre Foxes suffer with heavy schedule Media playback is not supported on this device Rodgers expected 'dangerous game' against Saints Foxes boss Rodgers made just two changes to the side held by Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg on Wednesday and his side looked a little heavy-legged.
These two sides are on very different runs of form coming into this one. Of course, Huddersfield have lost just one of their last eight, which includes a four-game unbeaten record at home. They have seen off Hull and Barnsley in recent clashes here. Meanwhile, Birmingham go into this game with one of the league's worst away records, losing their last four on the spin away from home.
Read more:Premier League clubs committed to finishing season but no deadline discussedThe remaining options for this campaign were outlined to WSL clubs during a conference call on Thursday, including the possibility of having to void the season. An FA spokesperson told BBC Sport: "We are in the early stages of assessing what options are available for when it is safe and appropriate to resume the FA WSL and FA WC seasons.
Neither of those will be able to play in the remaining league games so the remainder of the campaign will be an opportunity for current Chelsea players to establish their importance to the team. Tammy Abraham impressed in the first half of the campaign but injuries coupled with a loss of form meant that only one of his 13 league goals were scored in 2020.
Borussia Dortmund comes from a painful home loss vs Bayern which has radically decreased their hopes to win the title, however they remain 2nd in the Bundesliga table and they can shown one of the most spectacular footballs in the whole Europe, so they are clearly favorite today. Paderborn has been the worst team of this League by far, being at the bottom of the table, 9 points far from a safe place, and having collected no more than a win in the last 10 rounds. Dortmund has scored no less than 3 goals in the last 4 matches vs Paderborn, so winning by more than a goal should be easy for them.
I think we need to take a step back now and start building the foundations again - getting back to the brilliant basics. Given the extended break before England's next fixture - set to be in September - it's unlikely Neville will be moved from his role any time soon, unless the former Manchester United defender decides he is no longer the man for the job. Will they be ready for Euro 2021?The squad meet up again in April for a training camp and Neville will lead a Team GB squad consisting of players from Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England at the Olympic Games in Tokyo over the summer.
Spezia had a very poor start of the season with only 1 win in the first 7 league games but since the start of October Spezia has lost only 1 game. Especially at home they have been very strong with a 5-2-0 record in the last 7 games conceding only 2 goals.
They head to this game from a 3-1 loss to Willem, having trailed 2-0 in the first half, and they have not scored in the first half in three of their last five matches. It has however been better at home. Groningen have three wins in the last four home matches, with two clean sheets therein and have not conceded more than one goal in the process.
Much like Amiens, Dijon have also been on a pretty poor run of form but with much fewer goals conceded it must be said. They've won just two of their last nine games in all competitions with eleven goals conceded and six scored along the way. In this run of games they did manage to get a famous 2-1 victory over PSG but they have been frustratingly poor in much easier games like their clashes with Nantes (0-1) and Brest (0-2).
The Turkish championship race this season is quite intense with the participation of 4 teams: Trabzonspor, Sivasspor (45 points), Istanbul BB (43 points) and Galatasaray (42 points). In this round, Istanbul BB is the latest team to play with the visitors before Rizespor, the team is ranked 13th in the rankings. In the last 7 rounds, Istanbul BB has won 5 victories. Away from home, Istanbul BB won in the last 2 matches, that is when they have to meet difficult opponents like Fenerbahce and Sivasspor. With impressive form, Istanbul BB deserves to be trusted in the match tonight. GL
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Daniel Sturridge leaves Trabzonspor due to ‘gambling’ ban It was late on Monday morning when the news came through that Daniel Sturridge had departed from Trabzonspor after his contract was terminated mutually. A couple of things then ensued: firstly, speculation started about where he might be going next, fans of goal-shy and striker-light clubs said things like “yeah, I’d take him”, and people thumbed through the rulebooks to figure out for which teams, in which leagues, he would be allowed to sign for.
Raiola's cryptic comment raises Pogba doubts Oh no, that mischievous super-agent, Mino Raiola, is at it again! This time, the ever-controversial Raiola has raised renewed doubts over Paul Pogba’s future at Manchester United by saying he wants to take ‘a great footballer’ to Real Madrid this summer. As we suggested this morning, Pogba’s future remains unclear, with Raiola having long sought a move away from United for his star client and Real Madrid vying for his services along with former club Juventus.
Fortunately, in round 21 tonight, Perugia is back home to welcome Livorno. The reason for saying that by their opponent, Livorno is at the bottom of the chart with only 13 points. This is considered a better opportunity for teachers Massimo Oddo to improve their position on the chart. Perugia can absolutely believe in good results, because in addition to superior performance, they also have a great advantage of being able to play at home. At his home in Serie B this season, Perugia has won 5/10 matches. In the first leg of this season, they also won 2-1 on the field of Livorno.

They have four wins and a draw in the last five matches and have lost just once in their last 11 matches. They are only second to Barcelona on goal difference and much of their rise has been due to improvement in defence. In the last five matches, Real Madrid have not conceded a goal, while they have seven clean sheets in the last 10 matches.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the highest seed remaining and the defending champion. He hasn't dropped a set this week with some good wins including recent finalist Vasek Posposil. He takes on Alexander Bulbik who is ranked 49 places below him. His opponent has yet to beat a top ten player and despite his good run this weekend, Tsitsipas can get the victory here.
Meanwhile, QPR have picked up just two points from the last 18 on offer in the Championship (P6 W0 D2 L4) – indeed, they have conceded 36 goals this season last conceding more at this stage of a league campaign in 1968-69 (42 goals), finishing bottom of the top-flight that season.
Top league scorer: Robert Earnshaw (11). Other key men: Kieran Richardson, Zoltan Gera, Geoff Horsfield. The ultimate nail-biter. This is the only Premier League campaign where all three relegation places were decided on the final day. And never mind being bottom at Christmas, West Brom had slipped back there before the last game - and remained bottom for most of the final day. The Baggies had to beat Portsmouth and hope their three relegation rivals all failed to win.

At club level, the European Club Association (ECA) has often spoken of reducing the size of first divisions which include up to 20 teams in several larger countries. Axing domestic cups may be an attractive proposition in countries such as Italy, where the Coppa Italia is actively designed to avoid upsets, but less so in other countries where they are still seen as a chance for giant-killing.
