Against this backdrop of inaction, will a new Arsenal manager actually change anything unless the board alters its approach?How was Ozil awarded such an eye-watering contract given his known inconsistency? Why - and this was a hugely damaging decision - was Aaron Ramsey allowed to leave on a free transfer to join Juventus, despite his insistence he thought he had agreed a new deal?Between Emery and Arsenal's hierarchy, the club has been allowed to become dysfunctional and the manager's number was up - if it was not already - once there were thousands upon thousands of empty seats at Emirates Stadium for Thursday's Europa League game.
The United Kingdom has over 9,500 confirmed cases with 456 deaths. With nine games left, Leeds are top of the Championship, one point ahead of West Bromwich Albion and seven ahead of third-placed Fulham with the top two automatically promoted.

A late winner at the European Championship, my first World Cup goal and a double for Birmingham in a relegation scrap are among the most special goals I have scored in my career. All the goals had meaning behind them. They are probably not the greatest I've scored but they meant a lot to me, my country and the clubs I represented. Here's why. England 3-2 Finland, European Championship - 2005 This was emotional for me.
Saint-Pierre have won the Reunion Premier League for five consecutive seasons but this achievement easily surpasses that. To get this far the island amateurs had to defeat Ligue 2 side Niort 2-1 away from home in the last round. Overcoming a second-tier side is no easy task, especially when it takes an 11-hour flight just to get there. In the Saint-Pierre side at Niort was former Blackpool midfielder Elliot Grandin, who joined at the start of the season, having decided he wanted to try something different.
Chakhtior finished in third last season. Chakhtior have won five of their last six games against their opponents. Chakhtior have won three of their last four away matches. Chakhtior Soligorsk and Gorodeia both made a disappointing start to their new Belarus Premier League seasons. For Chakhtior, the side that finished third in the table last season (10 points behind the champions), they began their new campaign with a home loss to Torpedo BelAZ Zhodino.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says avoiding relegation was the priority for this season despite previously targeting European football next term. Marco Silva left the club in the relegation zone in December before Ancelotti joined Everton and took them to a point off fifth place in February. One point from three games has ended any European hopes for the Toffees, who are 11th in the Premier League. We didn't put a time for [European football]," Ancelotti said.
Everton fan Sarah Halpin, founder of 'The Bird is Blue' YouTube channel, says there may be a reluctant acceptance among supporters that Moyes might represent a decent option to stop the slide. A few months ago, or even a couple of weeks ago, your first reaction as a fan is 'do we really want to do that? Do we really want to go backwards to someone who was there?'" she told BBC Radio 5 Live. My glory days - if you like - as an Everton fan were under David Moyes and what we achieved with spending so minimal money was an overachievement really.
Middlesbrough’s great form couldn’t keep them in the FA Cup in midweek, but they have another trip to London on Friday night. Just three days after their loss to Tottenham, Boro are away to promotion contenders Fulham. The Cottagers are in fourth place in the league, but they meet the team who currently top the form table this weekend. Can Fulham improve their recent run and pull off a victory in this clash?

End of June limit for season - Tottenham striker KaneGundogan acknowledged football authorities faced a difficult decision because of the impact that cancellation of the season would have at both ends of the Premier League table. There are different opinions. For clubs who have had a very good season, it obviously wouldn't be nice if it was cancelled now," he said. On the other hand, for clubs who aren't doing as well and are maybe in the relegation places, an abandonment would obviously suit them.
Next up for Klopp's side is a derby against Everton in the FA Cup on Sunday"I enjoy each game but there are things to improve," the manager warned. If you change things, do you kill tradition? "The boys last night ran 13km to win a Premier League game, I can't ask them to run 11 just to save energy for the next game. It's about quality, not quantity. I think somebody has to speak for the players.

AEK Athens have been in good form recently with 3 wins and 1 loss. They have scored 8 goals and conceded 3 goals in the last 5 league matches. On the road AEK Athens have managed to win 1 and lose 3 of their last 5 league games but with their current form I expect them to win here.

Nantes fc is here to taste Strasbourg fc in their own ground for the game of France Coupe de la on Wednesday. Nantes have many head to head with the visitors but they managed themselves to come on the upper hand in each and every match but so far they are lacking scores I don't know why whether it is their current formation they are using because if they win they win with a single score which is not safe at all.

Steve Bruce's men appeared to be cruising to the last 16 of the competition thanks to first-half goals by Sean Longstaff and Joelinton, who was then almost immediately forced off with a hip injury, but two stunning strikes from the League One outfit in the dying stages turned the game on its head. A beautiful curling free-kick from Liam Kelly gave Oxford a fighting chance and deep into added time Nathan Holland's sumptuous volley sent a fascinating game into extra-time.
I believe the odds on Lidingö is way to high in this game. Kungsängen will reportly don't put their best players on the field and even if they did Lidingö should be the better team. So I will go for the Lidingö win in this game.
However, Fletcher believes the players themselves are far from convinced. It's a massive concern. We're not out of this situation by any means," said the former Scotland captain. Footballers will not only be concerned for themselves and their lives and the rest of their careers but they'll be worried about bringing it back to their family. Sport is important to everyone and we've all missed it but we're talking about matters of life and death here and I think that guarantees would have to be in place - but who can guarantee that players are going to be safe? "I don't think anyone can guarantee that at this moment in time.
This should be a thoroughly entertaining game of football in south African league. SuperSport United are a formidable outfit and sit third in the league, but Maritzburg United are particularly tough to break down at home. A 1-1 draw is therefore the most likely result. Judas Moseamedi proved key for Maritzburg at Mbombela Stadium with a match-winning brace. Maritzburg could have scored even more goals were it not for a solid performance from Chiefs goalkeeper Bruce Bvuma.

Nottingham Forest could really do with getting three points from this game. A good end to the season could yet see them earn automatic promotion to the Premier League. A play-off spot looks more likely, as long as they can get back in winning ways. This is an ideal opportunity for them with their opponents struggling for form. Their away form is poor and they concede far too many goals. Go for a home win here.

While Coventry have done well at home, Ipswich have made light work of getting the job done away from home. In fact, somewhat strangely, the title challengers have taken considerably more points on the road than they have at Portman Road. They've won seven, drawn one and lost one of their nine travelling matches. Unsurprisingly, no team in League 1 has taken more away points than the Tractor Boys, while no team has a better away goal difference either.
There is no foot off the gas and there's no relaxing. We're not that type of club and I'm not that type of manager. If we have an off day, it is through mistakes and not attitude. Expectation levels have risen and we're ahead of a group of clubs that are tightly-placed in terms of points. Wilder revealed there were no new injuries and that he would rotate his squad with the Blades playing away at Norwich three days later.
We've got to make sure we've got good leaders and clarity of thinking'Bevan says he has taken a 20% wage deferral at the LMA and that many of his members have done the same. Most of the managers, if not all, have supported their clubs in some sort of financial way," he says. Despite some managers who you might think don't have the loyalties of certain clubs because they terminate their contracts every 10 months, they have been massively impressive in terms of how they've led.

The ball came to him on the edge of the box, on the bounce, with the Spaniard unleashing a ferocious strike past Pope before he could move.
But how will they afford and accommodate him? It will be necessary to get rid of Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.

Masr clearly aren't going to be a huge force at this level and have just 7 points from 9 matches thus far but a degree of confidence can at least be taken from their solid nature as hosts. Indeed, Masr have lost just 1 of their last 5 home games across all competitions and having conceded just once across said fixtures, are clearly a tough nut to crack.

The guests are a team that has a lot of bad results on the side and I think they will have a lot of problems here, since Waldhof is a great team, especially at home, where they have won against much better teams this season. But the host is in the relegation zone and Viktoria Köln only left the relegation zone a few days ago, the form of the two teams could not have been more different. After the break, Waldhof had a three game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Rostock, the team lost twice. Viktoria have lost only one of their last 6 games, the team have won four times and that is why I think this game will be even.
