He won't, though, be tapping into his dad's vast football expertise for some words of inspiration. You've heard my dad do interviews… he's not the most talkative person," says Paul. He's been over to Miami a couple of times. He likes the golf and lying on the beach - you can just see him getting redder and redder.

Premier League players are set to start negotiations on a club-by-club basis over proposed wage cuts. It comes after talks aimed at a collective pay deal in response to the coronavirus crisis broke down without resolution over the weekend. The Premier League proposed a 30% pay cut, but the Professional Footballers' Association says that may harm the NHS. The row has escalated into one of the most serious disputes between players and clubs in the league's history.
On the other hand, should City receive some sort of punishment but it is stated there was no intent to cheat and their breaches were purely technical, the club will feel justified in adopting the stance they have taken and move on with confidence, even if the arguments around them will continue to rage. While it will be too simplistic to judge City purely on severity of the sporting sanction laid down, the secondary issue, around a squad containing some of the biggest names in the game - managed by the most decorated coach - is virtually all about Europe.

The arrival of their new boss should improve things for a Stoke side who have showed their talents with some strong displays, sitting in the top half based on the strength of their performance data.

Parks will also reopen in the country, which has Europe’s highest official death toll. Italy reported 260 new deaths on Sunday - the lowest daily toll since 14 March.

Zlatan does it very openly, speaks very confidently - and at times it is arrogance, but that is what he is. He used to be like that on a daily basis and would ask me questions such as: 'What is Didier Drogba like?' I would go into detail about what he is good at and Zlatan would be like, 'He is not as good as me' and would make you laugh. They were both very professional on and off the field. The way they looked after their bodies with recovery, knowledge of nutrition.
As well as training in groups of no more than five, sessions must last no longer than 75 minutes for each player. Social distancing must be adhered to. Liverpool are 25 points clear at the top of the table, with nine games to play, and need just two more wins to secure their first Premier League title. The league had previously identified 12 June for matches to possibly start again, but there is now an expectation this will need to be pushed back.
Barcelona's recovery owes far more to Real's decline than their own merits. Real's slip ups have strengthened Barca, who put in an abysmal performance against Napoli. Both sides head into the game with their own selection issues, with Madrid light on forwards due to the absence of Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Rodrygo.
Kane, who is under contract until 2024, has yet to win any silverware at Tottenham, whose last trophy was the 2008 League Cup.

FC Seoul is one of the most traditional rich teams in Korea, having won the championship six times, only inferior to the performance of Jeonbuk Hyundai and Seongnam (7 times).

All elite football in England is suspended until at least 30 April because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Everton made a strong start with striker Hannah Cain's first-minute effort tipped onto the bar by keeper Ellie Roebuck. However, the home side responded in the 18th minute when Bremer slotted the ball into the net, and although City continued to dominate the game they missed several chances.

Shenkolli played a goalless draw at the weekend, so their "over" streak were end. The teams matches bring a high score often, both side run a good period. The home team are in the third place with strong home record, they received the most goals in the league. They have no top goalscorer, but Gjata, Mihana and Omeri scored 4 times. The guest team avoid the last position because they are running an unbeaten streak, so could catch Elbasani and Cerrik.
I can see them going to Bramall Lane, being competitive, and leaving with the points. That is going to delight the legions of Blades fans who have pointed out to me where Sheffield United are in my league table (bottom of page) compared to reality. When I tip them to lose it usually means they will win - but I am going to get one right one day. Lawro's prediction: 0-1Richard's prediction: It is Christmas after all so I am not going to use this as an opportunity to have a little dig at the Blades, although a lot of my Wednesday-supporting mates will probably say 'why didn't you just slate them?'"I am going to get loads of stick from my Wednesday mates here but, for the city's sake, I hope they win this one.
And players' names were replaced on the backs of shirts by 'Black Lives Matter' for the opening 12 games. Given that, Masters was asked about the Premier League's stance on similar protests and campaigns in future. He said the organisation had backed a centralised effort because of the "unique set of circumstances". I don't think it sets any particular precedent," he added. I think it is perfectly possible to support Black Lives Matter the sentiment without being seen to support any political organisation.

I am a bit worried we have got Stoke, who are second-bottom, next though. It is a Sheffield Wednesday thing that we always seem to raise our game against equivalent or better teams - but then drop points against the lesser sides. Wednesday's best league finish since they were relegated from the Premier League in 2000 was the fourth place they managed in the Championship in 2017. They are currently third, eight points off the automatic promotion placesWhile Wednesday are bidding to return to the Premier League, their neighbours and rivals Sheffield United have turned into the season's surprise package following their promotion, and sit fifth in the table.
Madrid's defeat to Levante followed last week's surprise 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo and meant they fell off the top of the standings and were replaced by Barca, who trounced Eibar 5-0.

They have won as many games this season as in any of their previous Premier League campaigns, equalling the number they managed when finishing seventh in 2017-18. Even with Mee absent, they were defensively solid, with Kevin Long stepping in to ensure Pope was largely protected, barring an early effort from McBurnie that the keeper parried and Egan's shot that he had little chance of saving. The Clarets will feel they should have wrapped up the points with 15 minutes left but after following up Jay Rodriguez's parried shot from long range, McNeil fired wide with just Dean Henderson to beat.
Augsburg head coach Heiko Herrlich will miss the Bundesliga restart after he breached quarantine rules by leaving the team hotel to buy toothpaste.

We are here to win games," said Courtois in his teammate's defence. What has happened, has happened. He [Bale] gives everything in training and matches to help us win.

The hosts won at the start of this season with 1-0 away from home at Zamini, this while lately they have 2 wins in a row at home in the league right now, they are sitting on 6th place and with a couple of wins in a row can come close to the top places as they are only 7 points away from the top 2 places at this moment but they do need to win this game first of all.

Ferguson has steadied the ship since taking over, beating Chelsea at home and drawing at Manchester United in the league, and losing to Leicester City on penalties in the League Cup.

They've not exactly thrived on home soil, but Hamilton have struggled big time on the road, winning none of their seven travelling matches. On a slightly more positive note, Brian Rice's men have drawn more than they've lost away from home. That said, their results don't exactly point towards them doing well against a side of Celtic's quality. Hamilton have either drawn or lost away against Ross County, St. Johnstone, Hearts and Livingston, all of whom currently reside in the bottom six.
Brescia have failed to score in their last three matches in the league, while the hosts have scored exactly one goal in four of their last five home matches in Serie A.

It was my dream job. I loved doing what I did. Speaking to Football Focus, he added: "If there was an opportunity to get back into that, nobody in their right mind would turn it down. I am a 34-year-old. If I was a player I would be finishing now, as a referee if I was to go back into that group now I would still be one of the youngest. I still have a lot of years in me to do it. Madley used to be part of the group of 18 full-time professional referees in England and officiated the 2017 Community Shield at Wembley.
Brno and Jihlava will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2 in Czech Republic. Brno this season have the following results: 14W, 5D and 3L. Meanwhile Jihlava have 10W, 7D and 5L.

Lazio got the 1-0 win they needed over CFR Cluj to keep their hopes alive, while Scottish champions Celtic secured top spot in Group E with a 3-1 win at home to Stade Rennes. Group B is still up for grabs after FC Copenhagen eliminated Lugano with a 1-0 away win and Malmo beat Dynamo Kiev 4-3 with a last-gasp Markus Rosenberg goal as the 37-year-old scored his second goal of the night in his last home game for the club.
They have won three of their four Europa League games so far, one of which came in a 3-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt over in Germany.

Deportivo Ocotal U20 will against Walter Ferretti U20 in match Nicaragua Youth. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Deportivo Ocotal U20 on last 3 match in league can make total score is 8 goals. Meanwhile, Walter Ferretti U20 on last 3 match in league can make total score is 2 goals. Therefore, I think the both team have average to make score per match is 2 goals. Moreover Deportivo Ocotal U20 more strong in every home match like as they can beat Las Sabanas U20 with score 5-0. Surely this match will the end score is more than 2 goals.
Partizan have won seven of their ten league games this season and Astana have lost four times away from home in the league and have lost both of their away games in Europe.

Hello everyone tipsters from this great game. This is a my tirth bet for today and again my choice is from Germany Bundesliga 1 between Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. This is a big game this week and will be very interesting to watch this game. Bayern stay in the top of the league and they have four points more than Borussia Dortmund. Eintracht are the middle of the table and this is big surprise because they played very nice in the European league. Here I can't give you prediction for who will win this game that's why I will get bet for goals and I think here in this game will not see to many goals.
