Speaking about his proposal, Moyes said: "Maybe there's a way that a certain amount of Premier League teams wouldn't enter. I understand the fixture pile-up and there are an awful lot of games for the top players. A lot who will be playing in the Euros and just off the back of playing long seasons, Saturday-Wednesday, and are then expected to start again in the Premier League with only two or three weeks' break.
Will they be dancing on the streets of Great Barr at full-time?Smith will be "very proud" if he leads boyhood club Villa to Carabao Cup glory'I dragged him on the European Cup bus'Like Chris Wilder at Sheffield United, Smith is managing a Premier League club he has supported since childhood. As a schoolboy, he stood on Villa Park's famous Holte End steps roaring on the team in claret and blue with his brother, Dave.
What a block! Messi looked destined to net an equaliser for Barcelona after being set up by Alba, but Gabriel comes out of nowhere to make the sliding block and keep his team ahead! That was crucial! 77’ GOAL! Valencia 2-0 Barcelona: That could well be game over! Valencia have doubled their lead and Gomez has found the back of the net! This is his goal for sure! That was far too easy.
SPFL probe leaves unanswered questions'Hibs chief Dempster 'more hopeful' on completing seasonSPFL bullying claims 'hysterical' - GrayThe Scottish Premiership side previously claimed to have a "dossier of evidence" and proof of clubs being "bullied" by the SPFL to vote in favour of the resolution. It has always been Rangers' intention to produce our evidence at the appropriate time," the Ibrox club's statement said.
SAVE! Great play from Hudson-Odoi, he plays a neat one-two, fires for goal. Leno gets two hands behind it to beat the ball away. GOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!! Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal. Wow! With their first shot at goal. Gabriel Martinelli races clear to equalise! Absolutely incredible! Chelsea's inability to find that killer second goal has come back to haunt them! From a Chelsea corner, Arsenal break, Martinelli carries it forward at pace, Kante slips, which sets Martinelli in the clear, the Brazilian then stays calm and composed before slotting home.
It's important to acknowledge though that five of the six teams faced in that run are currently positioned in the top seven, so this weekend's trip to Balaidos to face 18th placed Celta represents a significantly easier task for Jagoba Arrasate's side, who have beaten the other two teams currently placed in the bottom three on their travels this term (0-1 vs Leganes, 2-4 vs Espanyol).
Striker Marcus Rashford is developing an impressive understanding with Anthony Martial, also on the scoresheet, and Solskjaer took time to praise the Frenchman, who scored twice in the win over Newcastle. He was brilliant again today. For a forward, there's nothing better than scoring goals. Hopefully, it keeps his confidence high and this can continue until the end of the season," he said.
The English Football League (EFL) has said football can only return when it is safe and that “suitable testing arrangements for participants must be in place”. I’m really looking forward to going back to playing,” said Ayala. If they’re telling us everything will be safe and they’ll do the proper tests, why not? “For the whole community and the whole country it will be good. Even if people are home or they have to stay in isolation at least they can watch football and it will make it more bearable.
This is a match from Austrian second league who will be play today and I believe that this will be duel with at least three goals and maybe even more than that. So, Kapfenberger is team who is team who is played very good in last match, when they are beat Lafintz 3-0 as a guests, while their rival is won just one point, because they are played pretty boring match, in who was just 0-0. We will see what will happen this time, but I hope that this duel will be efficient, so I will try that here. It is real.
They duly responded with the most convincing display at Stamford Bridge in quite some time, with Hudson-Odoi and James terrorising the Burnley defence down the right flank. Hudson-Odoi was making just his fourth Premier League appearance of the season after suffering a serious Achilles injury last April.
Speaking of sides who will be enjoying their season, Peterborough United have been excellent in the first half of the campaign and they go into this match knowing if they can maintain their form into the second part of the campaign then they have a realistic shot at regaining their spot in the Championship. Much like their hosts, Posh have seen much of their success come courtesy of being able to find the back of the net and the 43 goals they have scored this season represents the best offensive record in the division.
Bayer and Freiburg had some of the lowest results in their games between each other. In the recent years, there are not many rivals that had under 2.5 goals per clash in the competition. However, looking at the current form of both squad, and their situation in the league, this could be one duel with over two goals scored.
It’s a huge deal having a team from the Segunda Division in the last four of the Copa del Rey. Spanish football expert and co-host of the Spanish Football Podcast Phil Kitromilides tells Eurosport. It is an atypical Copa del Rey because of the format which has helped produce plenty of shocks. There are some people suggesting that because none of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla etc have made it that there could be a lack of interest, “But because there have been so many shocks and games with incredible drama, I think the imagination of the public has definitely been caught.
So there you have it. He should’ve been given more time, if anything. And curse anyone who suggests otherwise. Alli could be in trouble for racist coronavirus post The FA, in that terrifically passive-aggressive manner of theirs, have written to Dele Alli to “ask for his observations” about a post of his on Snapchat, in which he appeared to suggest that an Asian man was carrying the coronavirus.
The three-time winners are also keen to ensure they go beyond the quarter-final for the first time since they last lifted the trophy in 2000. We want to challenge for trophies," said manager Brendan Rodgers. In the last couple of years, the team has just fallen short at the quarter-final stage, so we're looking to make the semi and go there and be ready to work for it. It's not easy because there are so many teams that want to do it as well, but for us, our mindset and mentality is to try to get into the semi-final.
Now he is at the best college he could be. Listen to the Football Daily podcastSolskjaer worked with Haaland for two years at Molde, giving the striker his debut at 16, and flew to Austria to talk with the teenager in December. His career is being guided by agent Mino Raiola, who also looks after Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, and his father Alf-Inge, who played for Leeds United and Manchester City.
The main problem for Haras at present is their lack of goals. Not only have they failed to win each of their last four, but they've failed to find the net during that time. Again, such scoring form is anything but positive ahead of facing a team that has been scoring for fun of late.

No green light for football yet'All the Premier League clubs are committed to playing the 92 remaining fixtures in the season when it is safe to do so. On Friday, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden warned the game is yet to get the "green light". If we can get a plan that works then I'd like us to be able to go ahead with it because I think it would be good for the nation, it would be good for football as a whole," Dowden told BBC Radio 4.
Despite the programme being reduced to four games after Bristol City's clash against West Ham and Manchester United's trip to Birmingham were postponed following failed pitch inspections, it was a Sunday that had something for everyone. There were stunning goals, shock results and late, late winners, all of which served to make the table all the tighter as the league takes a three-week breather.
Aue and Bochum will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Aue this season have the following results: 11W, 8D and 12L. Meanwhile Bochum have 10W, 12D and 9L.

I was really lucky to have Rachel, because the amount of text messages she got from me. Bless her cotton socks, she was like my little mentor," Fishlock said. I could ask: 'I'm feeling this, is this normal?' She's like: 'Yeah. So I was lucky because I had a couple of people. Kimmy Little from Scotland is another one, who had just gone through it. That really helped me get through it. I was lucky with that.
Assisted by Hélder Costa. Lyle Taylor's first-half strike ruined Nottingham Forest's chances of going second in the Championship as Charlton Athletic eased their relegation fears by ending a dismal 12-game winless away run. Taylor powerfully steered home Naby Sarr's delicious left-wing cross after Forest lost possession and the Addicks held on with little alarm to move up to 19th place in the table, six points above the relegation zone.
Theo Walcott also wrote his own series of four children's books starting with T. J. Hat-trick, while David Beckham released his own appropriately titled tome The Mystery of the Golden Ball. It featured fictional footballer Michael Blade who, as well as being "a soccer hero playing in the games of his life", just happened to be "a secret superhero fighting in the battles of his life. Busy boy. There's still time for someone to snap up the rights and adapt that one into a Hollywood blockbuster.
They were our big rivals when I was growing up, but like us they are having a difficult time of things right now. I don't have any sympathy, though - I am in a group chat with so many United fans who have given us a lot of stick so I am enjoying their demise, definitely.

That does not stand for Gladbach and it goes against all the values of the club. Borussia Dortmund fans were banned last week by the German Football Association (DFB) from travelling to Hoffenheim for the next two seasons, and fined 50,000 euros over repeated similar offences targeting billionaire Hopp.
PSV’s home games produce an average of 4.00 goals and Rosenborg’s away games produce an average of 2.93 goals, providing even more reasons to expect there to be goals in Thursday’s clash. 75% of PSV’s home games have produced over 3.5 goals and the same can be said about 33% of Rosenborg’s away, which adds weight to our prediction of four goals being scored this Thursday.
This had been a good week for Manchester City, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturning their two-year ban from European competitions after announcing the club was cleared of "disguising equity funds as sponsorship competitions". It has also been a week that has magnified the frailties Guardiola simply must address if they are to flourish in those competitions in the future. Arteta will have known those weakness but in reality they have been exposed all season as Manchester City lost nine Premier League games, leaving Liverpool to romp to their first title in 30 years with ease.
Mino RaiolaGetty Images Raiola personally profited enormously from Haaland’s initial move to Dortmund and was rumoured to have picked up as much as €10m in fees. The idea of a follow-up fee so soon after that payday will surely attract the “super-agent”. It is also notable that Haaland has moved quickly from club to club, spending less than a year at Salzburg following his move from Molde.

They have played a crucial role in helping to shape the decision-making process, with the welfare of the players and clubs first and foremost. I would also like to congratulate the players, coaches and staff of Chelsea and Aston Villa. Although the 2019-20 season has been prematurely curtailed, it has been a hard-fought campaign and their success is well deserved, with the outcome based on sporting merit.
Huesca have been the best home team so far in the league with a 12-2-2 record and with 28 goals they have also been the most productive home team in the league. However, they also kept a clean sheet only once in the last 7 at home.
None of the Kirolbet Baskonia (the club's basketball side) squad have tested positive. There have also been five club employees who have been affected. The club took the decision to undertake the tests in accordance with our policy of responsibility towards people who form part of our family, and the results show that it was the best and quickest manner in which to find the cases and put the necessary preventative measures in place to reduce, in any way possible, any more spreading.

Energetic vs Kopetdag Asgabat and this game looking at it in a very good way we have given this two teams an under of 2.5 total goals as the past games this two teams have meet with other opponents the home team have scored an over of 2.5 in only 1 game and also the away team in only 1 game in the last 7 games and so this has bring us into a conclusion that this two teams are not a very good scoring teams and giving this game an under of 2.5 total goals is a very sure prediction
A big reason why we're so difficult to beat at home is because when teams are doing their preparation they say 'OK, they're a good footballing team, they cause you problems and the crowd are with them'," he added. It's a difficult place to come to try to get a result, so our crowd are a really big part of what we've done this season. I want to win the league, but I want to do it with my supporters, if we win the league and we celebrate and there's a few ball boys there, a few paramedics and some directors, we won't take any satisfaction in that.
This is Round 14 of Series A. I think this is going to be an interesting game with a lot of goals and I think for a number of reasons. First of all Parma have lost only one game in their last five games. They are playing correctly this season and are now ranked 8th on the 18-point table. Today I think they will score at least one goal, otherwise they have scored 20 goals so far. Milan, on the other hand, are ranked 12th on the 14-point table and I think they have a good team, but they haven't shown it so far. Milan are playing hot in the system, and today I think they will score a goal. So today I expect both teams to score at least one hit.
I owe him a lot, as I learned a lot from him and I think he is a fantastic coach. Wolves have progressed to the last 16 of the Europa League and, assuming this season resumes at some stage, Champions League qualification through the league is not out of the question - they are two points off fifth place, which would be enough if Manchester City's European ban is upheld. Nuno's pre-match team talks - a key motivational weapon for any manager - have been part of their success.
Bale's relationship with Real gained further headlines in the last few days when he was photographed in the stands pretending to be asleep for a few seconds during his team-mate's game against Alaves and looking to the distance through a rolled-up piece of paper against Granada. Bale was pictured entertaining himself in the stands while real Madrid played Granada on Monday, three days after pretending to be asleep against AlavesTo try to understand what is going on with Bale's tense and tortuous spell at the club, we need to take a brief look at how we actually got to this point.
I really should not be covering the home win here but odds are high enough to be taken on the DNB on the hosts at 1.73 at this moment as they won 2-0 at home and 5-1 away at Llaneros in the previous round while Caracas struggle with Monagas losing first 3-1 on the road the first leg but winning 2-0 at home and I see a similar scenario a poor first leg here especially since they lost even at home during the season to Lara with no less than 3-0 but just to be safe will cover the draw bet.
Feel quite safe with taking the over 3 goals bet in this one as I see it likely that both teams shall be scoring and see good chances that both side can score even 2+ goals in this one with the edge for the guests who on their last visit here in the ending of last season despite being 2-0 down in the game they won with 3-2 in the end and also in the first part of last season they defeated same Vikingur side with no less than 4-2 at home so high scoring games between them lately.
Firstly, I am very proud to be manager of this club, in the way Chelsea have handled it," Lampard told SkySports. We were very quick to respond to help with the hotel. There is more work with the foundation, with link ups to getting in touch with fans, putting on tutorials, there are a lot of people who have stood up and put in good work.
Parana will host Londrina for this fixture of the league. Both sides are very average teams in this season. Both teams have big fluctuations. However, I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. Londrina have an effective attack. In any case, the visitors have the potential to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Parana who's is not very good team. Hosts have only 1 win in their last 5 matches. Parana have less potential in attack. I think, this will not be an easy task for the hosts. My pick - Londrina to win.
It made everyone feel 10ft tall. It was a masterstroke by Roberto - it was brilliant timing to bring in the psychologist when he did. More than anything, he got the players thinking, and it probably brought them together at exactly the right time. Who is Michael Finnigan? He had helped golfer Darren Clarke win The Open in 2011 and was working with Everton boss David Moyes when Wigan beat them 3-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

It's very difficult in terms of selecting players, scientists who know about recovery would say it's not good but it's the Premier League, the schedule and we have to adapt," Potter said. It's a tricky one, on one hand the league gives clubs lots of resources to cope with the demands. I understand it's good for the league having all these matches over Christmas but it's a different thing in terms of the performances of players.
