The start of the Chinese Super League season has been delayed indefinitely and China’s World Cup qualifying matches in March and June were postponed until October and November.
Nkwazi will host Lusaka Dynamos for this fixture of the league. I expect another one tough match for both sides. Both teams are not very good teams in this season. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. Perhaps, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Lusaka Dynamos have a more effective attack than their opponent. However, they are not convincing team. They have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Nkwazi who's is vulnerable team in recent times. They have a poor results. In last game Nkwazi lost 1-0 against strong Red Arrows. In any case, I expect, the hosts will try to fighting for a positive result. My pick - Nkwazi to win.
What are the unresolved issues in Scottish football?The SPFL board, who were given the authority to call the Premiership after the passing of the controversial ballot to end the lower leagues, will convene at 10:00 BST.

The Azerbaijanis were never going to tussle with Sevilla, but they'll be disappointed not to have made use of being in a group with APOEL and minnows Dudelange. Failing to beat APOEL either home or away is where Qarabag went wrong.
Nearly a month ago, Benfica lost the advantage in the championship race with Porto. After nothing in the direct confrontation with Porto on February 9, the team of coach Bruno Lage continued to challenge themselves with a 0-1 defeat at the Da Luz lair against Braga. Although Benfica won last weekend with a 1-0 win over Gil Vicente, Benfica is only 1 point ahead of Porto on the table. This is a very fragile gap and can catch up at any time. It should be known that, Porto is focusing all its energy on the domestic front, they show through the past 5 rounds of victory.
Ascoli are expected to host Crotone for an Italy Serie B match which will be held at Cino e Lillo Del Duca stadium in Ascoli Piceno city. Crotone has taken a good position, 2 in the table with 51 points got from 15 wins and 6 draws. Ascoli takes position 17 with 32 points after winning 9 matches and drawing in 5 matches.
Rijeka are arguably the 2nd best team in Croatia, however they are currently ranked 3rd place in the league. They must win this match in order to gain back the 2nd place. So far they have won 47 points in 26 matches, goal record 42:31. Their opponent is Istra 1961 who are fighting to avoid relegation, however I doubt they will achieve that, because they are playing bad, their goal record is 19:40, 19 points won in 26 games.
Liverpool’s last Premier League outing was a routine win at home to Sheffield United, making it 19 wins from their opening 20 league matches and extending their winning streak to 11 top flight fixtures. At the moment, it’s more a case of when Liverpool will lift their first Premier League title rather than if they will.
After the goal it wasn't that easy to find spaces and create chances. It was a good game. We had good control, good ball possession. A frustrating night for Tottenham was laid bare when Mourinho substituted Dele Alli after 64 minutes and the England midfielder responded by hurling his boot in anger. I think he was angry with his performance.

That was when European giants Bayern agreed a Major League Soccer record £9. January - and the teenager quickly found himself rubbing shoulders with superstars. The first time I came to Bayern Munich, I could not believe it," he told the BBC in September.

Arda will host Ludogorets for this fixture of the league. No doubt, Ludogorets is the best team in this league. Of course, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Ludogorets have great attack. Also, they have a solid defense. In any case, I expect, the visitors to dominate from the start match. They tend to score a goal. On the other hand Arda is very average team in this season. Also, the hosts have a poor results in the last matches. I think, the hosts have a very difficult task. My pick - Ludogorets with handicap (-1.5 )

John had a problem with the last action (in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace)," Guardiola added. Mendy has some muscular fatigue and the others are ok.

During his career, Shearer made two record-breaking British transfers.

The hosts have won 10 times this season, but they have beaten all of the sides who are currently in the bottom eight of the division. Above that they’ve won just twice in 14 games, including a run of one win and four draws in six home matches. Their poor record against sides below them has to be a concern for the hosts, especially given the status of the visitors.
Neymar might be the biggest name at PSG, but their most-prized asset is probably Mbappe.

But Comolli says reimbursing proportional costs of season tickets will be difficult if the league campaign is scrapped. Let's assume clubs have five home games left. Clubs like] Arsenal and Manchester United must be making £3-5m on ticket revenue and corporate seats, so they could lose £20-25m, which is a lot of money," he added. They can cope with it on a game-by-game basis because they are among the 10 richest clubs in the world, but can they reimburse people for season tickets?"'Clubs are going to struggle significantly'Football finance expert Kieran Maguire told BBC Breakfast clubs in the Football League would be badly hit by postponements.

MONDAY’S BIG HEADLINES Ole’s wheely bad Video - Solskjaer: The league table is not my biggest concern00:44 The situation at Old Trafford is rather more perplexing. A 2-2 draw at home against Aston Villa on Sunday leaves United ninth in the table after a paltry four wins from 14 games. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a worse record this season than Unai Emery did - and most incredibly, since landing the job on a permanent basis his win ratio in the league is a catastrophic 27%.
They were a little bit hard done by - they should have had a penalty just before Milan scored their second goal - but at 3-0 it was all over. The key Liverpool change saw Didi Hamann brought on at half-time with the job of stifling Kaka, who had been instrumental for Milan in the first half. His introduction in midfield allowed Steven Gerrard to roam further forward, giving him a freedom he would soon make the most ofThen Rafa goes out for the second half on the attack and suddenly they look like a different team.
And the form of Kelly has been integral to that success, with her four goals putting her level with Arsenal striker and Ballon d'Or nominee Vivianne Miedema as the league's top scorer. But the talented striker hasn't always been a blue and could well have ended up on the same team as Miedema had she not left the Gunners in 2017 in search of regular first-team opportunities.
Despite it being quite an open game there isn't likely to be a lot of goals with both sides lacking a little bit of quality and we're predicting a 1-1 result which doesn't really suit either side but sees them both go into the final match week with a really good chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds.
Did you know? Rashford scored twice from three shots in Manchester United's win against Norwich. Danny Ings: The Southampton striker was a constant threat to Kasper Schmeichel and Leicester's defenders; he could have scored four goals rather than 'only' the winner. Ings was effervescent throughout but if, as some are suggesting, he has the potential to move to a bigger club, he needs to improve his chances-to-goals ratio.
Last time out, Everton weren't the better side as they drew 1-1 at United, but they certainly weren't bowled over, while they defended much better than they ever really did under Silva this term. More importantly, when beating Chelsea at this venue just over a week ago, Ferguson's men impressed. They were proactive in possession, productive in the final third and were a huge threat on the break, which bodes well ahead of a match against a Leicester side that will probably try to dictate possession.
Their most realistic route back to the Champions League lies in Europe’s second-tier competition and by signing a solid centre-back and a dominant centre-midfielder, they could go all the way. However, it just seems like they will bring in a new Kim Kallstrom or Denis Suarez… so good luck to Mikel Arteta.

Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi found the back of the net in the space of eight minutes after Montpellier's Pedro Mendes was sent off in the 72nd minute as the French champions extended their lead at the top to eight points.

Assisted by Wilfred Ndidi. Marco Silva's measured tones disguised the inner turmoil he must surely have felt after VAR inflicted the cruellest of cuts on an Everton manager who appears to be surviving on a game-to-game basis. Silva will have glanced up at the clock at The King Power Stadium as the board showing three minutes of stoppage time went up - three minutes away from a draw with title-chasing Leicester City that could have provided respite, albeit briefly.

The home team played in a single goal game when playing away recently and while these teams do normally play in high scoring games this might not happen this weekend. The home team defended at their best in their last away game and really looked to play a totally different game style. The were able to drop players back really make it hard for the other team. They also were able to keep the total amount of shots down in the game for their self and the other team. They can do a lot of damage with only a few chances the home team and may only get a single goal.
We’re confident that under 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Groningen have looked strong at home but certainly not perfect, while Feyenoord have been average on the road by their high standards. The hosts head into the match as the form favourites and we believe the pair will play out a 1-1 draw this weekend.

A decision is expected to be announced late in the European afternoon.
