Leeds are far from an easy opponent to face as well. The visitors sit top of the Championship table and are nine points clear in the automatic promotion places. It’s looking like this could be the year they finally return to the top flight, so they will be keen to test their mettle against Premier League opponents.
Wellington Phoenix lost their first two home games of the season but have picked up wins against Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar as well as an impressive point against Sydney FC since then.
He is magical, but in reality, there is no magic. Magic is fiction and football is real. In response to criticism from then Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri in 2008, Mourinho said: "I studied Italian five hours a day for many months to ensure I could communicate with the players, media and fans [at Inter Milan]. Ranieri had been in England for five years and still struggled to say 'good morning' and 'good afternoon'.
In autumn when the group draw was made, 12 December was the date that stood out, and results elsewhere have conspired to set the night up perfectly for a dramatic finale. If Malmo win, their progression and first place is guaranteed. If Copenhagen take at least a draw, they top the group and, depending on results elsewhere, could even send Malmo home. Will it be a victory parade back across the bridge for the Swedes, Denmark conquered and the balance of power shifted? Or a humiliating meander home, out of Europe with Copenhagen's Scandinavian dominance reaffirmed?This night will live long in the memories of both cities.
Liverpool's recent 2-0 win over Aston Villa was their 24th consecutive home win in the league, a record that they look to extend for the foreseeable future. They won the reverse fixture against Burnley 3-0 earlier in the campaign, their first clean sheet against Burnley in several seasons. Liverpool have been brilliant in general in defence this season, particularly at home, where they kept seven clean sheets in their last nine Premier League matches.

I believe that Juventus will not have any problems to win new three points in this match from Italian Serie A. So, this team is playing very good at home and we can say that and for matches in Serie A, but also and in Champions league. This season, they are not so dominate in league, because and Internazionale is playing very good. Sassuolo is team who is losing all the time against Juve and so far as a guests in league, they are have just 1-1-3. I believe that Juventus will beat them very easy in this match, that is clear.

It is also recommended that FIFA use its newly-created 'Fund for Professional Players' to help ease any difficulties that clubs are facing. Transfer windows, fixed around the end and start of the seasons, will also need to be adjusted to fit in with altered season dates and the document suggests such changes should be allowed, so long as they do not exceed the maximum 16-week period.
From Barcelona to Bayern Munich and on to Manchester City, the 'Pep way' has been built around an obsessive attention to keeping hold of the ball. But on Saturday, something strange happened - his City side beat Chelsea in the Premier League without having a majority of the possession. The possession stat of 46.

I'm not sure that home team will win in this match, because this season, they are mostly have problems with defense and teams who are playing good from counter attacks, often are make problems to Partizan. Team is not so long ago played in big city Derby 0-0 against Red Star but they are played very bad in attack. On the other side, Radnicki Nis is team from southern Serbia and in last two-three seasons, they are became third strongest team in this country. They will surely score here at least one goal and rest will do the Partisan. Over is ok.
The club nevertheless insisted on enforcing a few basic rules: "They all have a program to follow, but it's really difficult. They only have two obligations towards the club: pay attention to their diet and try to stay in shape, according to their means.

He was outstanding at Everton and in my view, due to the circumstances, even better against Arsenal. Talk about leaders of men. Two weeks ago Villa were down as far as I was concerned but they have kept their nerve and produced sterling back-to-back performances. Manchester City's caning of Watford provided some of Villa's impetus against Arsenal but nothing would have given Grealish's team more hope of Premier League survival than Watford's sacking of Nigel Pearson just before their two biggest games of the season.
Chelsea v Watford (20:00 BST)I've heard some people lining Chelsea up for a go at the title next season but, defensively, I think they are well short of what is required to be contenders. They have got some excellent midfielders and forwards, but I am not sure that is going to enough to get them a top-four finish this time either. There is a lot of work to be done at the back and they are going to have more hiccups like the one they had when they lost to West Ham in midweek.
But it is one win. Our season has been tough so far, with losing last week and not playing well, we were keen to get a response. They are such an outstanding side, we had to get our performance right - as close to max as possible - and I thought we thoroughly deserved the win. We threatened with the ball and defended with discipline, energy and commitment. That's been the message from day one. It's in our own hands, and we have to deliver that performance week in, week out.
Speaking of his famous father, midfielder Ianis said: "Other people can speak about whether we are comparable, but one quality I have inherited from him would be ambition. Barcelona and Real Madrid great Gheorghe is widely regarded as Romania's greatest player of all time.

Smith fumed afterwards at a "very, very harsh" decision that killed the game. Vardy only had seven touches of the ball - but two of them were goals. His second arrived after his attempted cross had come back to him, allowing him to rifle past Reina at his near post. That was a particularly impressive goal, starting with defender Jonny Evans winning the ball outside his own box before he played it forward to Barnes, who found Vardy.
The result left Leicester in second place in the standings on 38 points from 16 games, eight adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool and six ahead of third-placed champions Manchester City. The league's top scorer Vardy fired Leicester ahead with his 15th goal of the season and Kelechi Iheanacho made it 2-0 with a deft finish before Jack Grealish pulled one back for Villa on the stroke of halftime.
Everything has to be moved to the next season. It is time for realism, gentlemen. This is the plague. You can no longer play this year. Think about the next one. Some people still does not realise what is happening, and those people are worse than the virus. I don’t believe in miracles, I stopped doing it long ago.
Viktoria Koln and Meppen will face each other in the upcoming match in the 3. Liga. Viktoria Koln this season have the following results: 10W, 8D and 12L. Meanwhile Meppen have 11W, 10D and 9L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
This is one very interesting match who will be played today in Belarus Premier, but also reserve league and I will bet on goals here, what is for me, very very real option. So, let's start from Smolevichi, and that is team who is in last six matches, played every time with three or more goals, and also, most of that matches was with even four or more goals. BATE Borisov, on the other side, is also efficient team and in this moment, I believe that they are better team than rival. I will bet on goals and enjoy in this duel.

Football in Italy should be suspended and currently "makes no sense" for it to continue amid the increased risk of coronavirus, says the country's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora.

But Spadafora supported calls from the president of Italy's players' union (AIC) for football to be suspended.

Odds may be dropping on the away win here but Roda won really just 4 of 21 league games so far this season and when they hosted Jong Utrecht at home earlier this season the game ended in a 3-1 win for the Jong Utrecht side who are also a solid home side with a record of 5-4-1 at home this season even though they are coming after a 2-1 loss at Graafschap but that is a top team while Road is not.
Much like Burton at home, Tranmere have been struggling to score goals. Thursday's visitors have notched just three goals in their last five, while they've scored more than once in just two of their last 12. Given that they've kept just two clean sheets during that time, their lack of firepower is a problem.

Sheffield United climbed to fifth in the Premier League table on Friday with a win against West Ham, who had an injury-time equaliser ruled out by VAR. John Fleck latched on to substitute goalkeeper David Martin's wayward pass and teed up Oli McBurnie to finish from close range after 53 minutes. Substitute Robert Snodgrass thought he had levelled for the visitors, but the goal was disallowed after the ball was judged to have hit Declan Rice's arm in the build-up.
Game for the second division of Germany and the teams of Arminia Bielefeld, leader of the tournament with 65 points, receive the Heidenheim team that is third with 55 points. So I think it is more important for Heidenheim to win today. Bielefeld is already champion and this match counts for butter for them. Heidenheim for its part has an opportunity to get into auto promotion place and for that they must do better than Hamburg which is one point ahead of them. Advantage to visitors on this match who will be more motivated. But I think both can live with one point. So I'm assuming a draw. With good defenses, their last meeting ended 0:0.

The Premier League is hopeful of a potential 8 June resumption. The 20 club doctors have been holding their own discussions about Project Restart - the label given to plans to resume action - with a view to feeding their thoughts into the Premier League's leadership.

You've heard of drive-in movies? Well then say hello to the drive-in football stadium. With empty grounds greeting the return of Danish football, FC Midtjylland came up with a creative way of ensuring their fans were able to get close to the action while also remaining at a safe social distance for Monday's home game with AC Horsens. Two big screens were set up in the stadium's car parks, with supporters invited to park up in their vehicles, tune in to the commentary on their radio and follow the match.
It was hard to discern any kind of plan. Emery OutGetty Images Emery arrived at Arsenal with a reputation for having a sophisticated pressing system.

soligorsk is still not playing as good as it was expected before the season started and right now they are on seventh position, just above Slavia mozyr but trust me soligorsk is way better team and they will surely win this game but also I think they will score 3 or maybe even 4 goals cause on the other hand Slavia defense is not so good and they are this high on table only because their offense scored a lot of goals but today I think 2 goals difference win for soligorsk is very realistic outcome so I surely recommend this bet
City have already won the Carabao Cup this term but their last competitive fixture was over six weeks ago in their Premier League defeat at Manchester United on 8 March.
