This is the first leg of the semi-finals stage of the Cup competition and we have the hosts the best club in Belgium not only this season as they have more than 10 points at the top of the league standings at this moment as they just defeated tough Anderlecht with 2-1 on the road last round a few days ago, but also the hosts won access to the Champions League this season and finished 3rd there so will be playing in the Europa League this Spring.
Assistant coaches and bench players were initially asked to wear masks all the time, but they were not sure whether they had to wear them during warm up on the pitch. Monchengladbach did not exactly follow the timeline for the arrival of the teams; they changed their clothes in the hotel instead of using the stadium's locker rooms. They only put on their boots before going out on the field. Once the pre-match procedure started, the precautions immediately before kick-off appeared to be pointless given the full-contact nature of the game.
A four-time Champions League winner and Wales' greatest player of the modern era, Gareth Bale went from being an unlucky left-back to one of the world's most exciting players. A world-record fee, a nation expecting him to perform miracles and the most hard-to-please club fans in the world have not fazed the unflappable Cardiff boy who has enthralled football fans all over the world. Whether it is scoring unforgettable goals, ripping apart one of the world's best right-backs or making history as arguably British football's greatest foreign export, Bale has delivered time and again, year on year.
Emmen have lost two of their seven home games this season and PSV have won three of their seven away games, with the hosts’ averaging 1.86 points per home game and the visitors averaging 1.57 points per away game, and that is why we’re expecting a close match on Sunday.
A record number of footballers, clubs and agents in England are being investigated over tax payments. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is investigating the tax affairs of 330 footballers, 55 clubs and 80 agents, up from 173 players, 40 clubs and 38 agents in January 2019. HMRC said it had recovered £396m from the industry since 2015. The department said it expected "more compliance than previous years" after its "proactive handling of tax risks".
Which is to say: it looked strange, nobody seemed to have any rhythm, and after a few minutes we flicked over to the other side. But not before we heard the sounds of the PSG fans having quite the evening outside. Now, unless you’ve been self-isolating for a while longer than necessary, you’ll know that the stands were empty to prevent the spread of COVID-19, which was officially declared a pandemic a couple of hours before kick-off.

Augsburg will host Borussia Dortmund for this fixture of the league. Of course, the visitors are favorites in this game. Borussia are more ambitious team in this league. I think, they will try to make a positive result. Nevertheless, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Augsburg who's is very average team in this season. The hosts have less potential in attack. I expect, they will pay attention on their defense. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Augsburg is better team at home. They have three consecutive victories. I think, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - draw.
The 18-year-old has now scored in each of her last three Barclays FA WSL games including a brace in the 3-1 win over Everton at the weekend as well as earning the penalty for captain Katie Zelem to convert. BLUES FINALLY UP AND RUNNING It may have taken a while but Birmingham look they like they may have finally got their season up and running having taken seven points from their last five games.
Hooray for Atalanta The most intriguing story of Wednesday’s Champions League games came in Ukraine, at the tremendously named Stadion Metalist, where Atalanta rudely put three unanswered goals past their hosts Shakhtar Donetsk. In the process, the Italians jumped from last in the group to second, securing their place in the last 16.
Tottenham have won four of their last five league games. Chelsea have lost four of their last five league matches. Chelsea have lost their last two away league games conceding five goals. Only three teams have conceded more away Premier League goals this season than Chelsea. Another weekend and again Jose Mourinho is up against one of his former clubs.
Former Norwich City striker Iwan Roberts, 51, is already involved. I want to see whether there is anything I should be concerned about in the foreseeable future," he said. The Football Association (FA) and Professional Footballers Association (PFA) jointly funded Glasgow University's FIELD study and has set up its own taskforce into links to dementia.

How soon can Liverpool win the Premier League?How to watch, listen to and follow every Premier League game"Following the most recent round of Premier League fixtures which have all taken place behind closed doors the SAG has signalled it has no objections to the above fixture taking place at Etihad Stadium as planned at 20:15 BST, Thursday, 2 July," explained Councillor Luthfur Rahman, executive member for skills, culture and leisure for Manchester City Council.
I think Ipswich Town will beat Lincoln City. The home advantage is between the reasons for my pick, but there are two more reasons. The motivation is one of them. Ipswich Town are fighting for promotion. They are on the third place and will try to catch one of the first two positions that guarantees direct promotion. The quality should also be mentioned. And it is on Ipswich side too. The hosts are in solid form, two win and one draw on the last three matches in League One. Paul Lambert's men managed to beat Accrington with 4:1 and Tranmere with 2:1, while played a goalless draw with Oxford. The truth is Lincoln have two victories on the last two matches, but one of them was against poor Bolton, while the other came against relegation candidates Blackpool.
I can't guarantee it (having three centre-backs available) is enough to beat Liverpool, but we will definitely try to do that. It's like a free shot tomorrow because we have to deliver in the following games. It would be great to get one or three points tomorrow but we also want to enjoy it. Liverpool are the best team in the world and we need to be there with an outstanding performance.
Jadon Sancho scored twice as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Fortuna Dusseldorf, becoming only the fourth teenager to score 20 Bundesliga goals. The 19-year-old England international had a goal ruled out by VAR before slotting in his opener after a one-two with Marco Reus. And he smashed in another from Achraf Hakimi's cutback. Reus also scored twice for Dortmund, with Thorgan Hazard netting their other.

Three teams, including Tranmere, go down to League Two. Parry rejected the suggestion Tranmere have been relegated by an arbitrary process. They have been undermined by the virus, rather than process," he said. It wasn't a decision anybody wanted to take. The board's position throughout has been that we wanted to finish the season. But a whole series of circumstances made that impossible. You feel for clubs but it is not as if these were marginal decisions.
Posted at 77' Ashley Westwood (Burnley) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Posted at 76' Attempt missed. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal) header from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Alexandre Lacazette with a cross. Posted at 75' Attempt missed. Héctor Bellerín (Arsenal) left footed shot from the right side of the box is high and wide to the left.
They last lost to Pacos in 2013; they are unbeaten in 12 matches against Pacos and have won each of the last seven. That aside, Sporting have a great run at home; they have won each of their last five home matches across all competitions. In the league, they have eight wins in their 12 matches at home this season.
We feel that Mainz have a good chance of earning an important three points in this game. Werder have failed to win 10 of their last 11 Bundesliga games. Mainz have also not drawn a single game yet this season. We feel that a 3-2 win for Mainz is a likely result of this fixture.
It’s not that bad. But he will be out, I think, for three weeks or so, which is not cool. But how we see it, we were still lucky. That’s it. Henderson is a key part of the Reds team but now faces a race to be fit in time for their return leg against Atletico in March. The 29-year-old has been hailed for his performances this season, leading for calls from many for him to be named Premier League Player of the Season.
Paper Round’s view: Both Chelsea and United are playing catch-up with Manchester City and Liverpool, and Leicester City’s move up the table doesn’t make life any easier. Sancho is a rare opportunity to buy excellent talent and potential at an early age, and in that respect £100m could be a bargain. The difficulty might be in raising the funds to get a deal done while balancing the books with sales.
Van Basten apologised later in the programme while Fox said in a statement on Monday that the comment was "stupid and inappropriate" and that it had suspended the three-times Ballon d'Or winner until December 7. The channel added that Van Basten's wages for the week would be donated to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.
Bentley was then at fault for Albion's second before the break when he failed to hold Jake Livermore's shot, presenting Hal Robson-Kanu with a simple tap-in. Albion had to play the final 13 minutes with 10 men after Romaine Sawyers was shown a straight red card after grabbing former Walsall team-mate Jamie Paterson by the throat, pushing a steward as he made his way off.
Gerrard, now a manager at Scottish Premiership side Rangers, is looking to break arch rivals Celtic's monopoly on the league title and his side are within striking distance, trailing the champions by two points with a game in hand. The 39-year-old said ending Celtic's eight-year reign would be an achievement on par with Liverpool's miraculous Champions League final comeback win in 2005 when they beat AC Milan in Istanbul.
United are six points behind the final Champions League place and just one adrift of fith. They have only won one of their last five league games but after this match, have a run of five fixtures ithat include playing four of the bottom six. This is a tough one though but only one of their last seven home league matches has been lost, though only two have been against sides currently in the top ten.
This game could potentially be put to bed quite early on as well. Liverpool have been winning at both half-time and full-time in 11 of their last 12 home Premier League games, and while Sheffield United have only lost one away game they have still been trailing at the break on three occasions. This makes a Liverpool/Liverpool HT/FT bet look favourable.
We have football left just in Singapore and Belarus and Australia. I think we will have pause here as well. But it is just matter of time. Still while they are playing let's bet on something. These two meet each other last year back I July in League Cup and Tanning Pogar won 4-1. For me that is enough to image that this team can make another surprise. Visitors Albirex Niigata S in not eligible for AFC competitions so they don't have any motive to be in top of the table at all. I found these odds like value one.
As Jurgen said, we haven't done the job. We haven't accomplished anything yet. There will be time to enjoy this even more at the end of the season. Klopp's absence from the FA Cup win over Shrewsbury on Wednesday threw into sharp focus the increasing demands being placed on elite level players. The Liverpool boss stayed away from Anfield in protest at the replay being staged during the Reds' winter break from the Premier League.
He said he "would not be surprised" if in the next five years a Championship club entered administration and dropped out of the Football League like Bury did in August. There are Championship clubs chasing that Premier League dream and when the gamble doesn't come off somebody has to foot the bill and if they can't afford it, the club could end up in administration," he said. It's a real problem and it's only going to get worse - thank God we are out.

The death toll in Italy has jumped to 52 and the total number of confirmed cases in Europe’s worst-affected country has climbed past the 2,000 mark.

Stevenage average 1.00 points per home game and Crawley average 0.78 points per away game with the visitors have drawing 44% of their away games and the hosts playing out stalemates in 25% of their home games, and we’re backing another draw when the pair lock horn on Saturday.
British finance minister Rishi Sunak announced earlier this month that furloughed workers can claim 80% of their wages up to 2,500 pounds ($3,081) per month as part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, who owns a controlling stake in the club, has not always been popular with fans, thousands of whom skipped matches this season to protest his ownership.
Ferretti U20 are among the leading teams in the league. They have won 7 matches from 16 played. They have impressive results in offense as they have scored 36 goals in total. Ferretti U20 have also won the first head-to-head game against Sabanas U20 earlier this season.
