Norwich are 19th on 12 points and lost 2-1 to Wolves last time out despite being ahead at half-time. This game will go a long way in seeing whether or not Villa are relegation candidates which I believe they are. Tyrone Mings has been absent this last fortnight and now John McGinn looks set for a lengthy spell on the side-line and unlike Southampton above them and Norwich just behind them Villa have been struggling to score goals.
Defenders - Rob Holding (Arsenal), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Jonny Evans (Leicester), Holding: It was a real battle royal between Rob Holding and Sadio Mane. From the moment a ball was kicked no quarter was given or asked between the two players. At first I thought Mane had the better of Holding but as the game wore on it was clear that the Arsenal defender was determined to come out on top and, in the end, he did.
We send our sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.

And even better, somewhere in northern Italy, a bronzed man doing his 2,000th sit-up of the day is absolutely fuming, something we can all get behind and enjoy. West Ham offer entirely inadequate response to homophobia As anyone who attends Chelsea games even semi-regularly will know, they are routinely subjected to homophobic chants from opposition fans.
Martial has started 10 games for United in the Premier League so far this season having struggled with a thigh injury in the early part of the campaign but since returning has only scored four times.

Bottomley said lots of clubs would now be consulting the EFL because they were unable to access business interruption insurance. I have a lot of sympathy with the EFL because they are reacting to the situation with information from the government and on a worldwide basis, and every few hours we are getting updates," he added. The EFL is probably being bombarded with emails from 71 clubs asking how much money they have in reserve and 'what are you going to do to compensate clubs?'"At the same time, the EFL is probably bombarding the sports minister.

The coronavirus outbreak has wiped out most of the world's sporting schedule in the past few days, but people were able to get their weekend football fix at some of England's non-league grounds on Saturday. Fixtures in the Premier League, English Football League and Women's Super League have been postponed until 3 April at the earliest. The National League decided against such action in their three divisions for now, and six games in the fifth tier went ahead as scheduled on Saturday - a decision which has been criticised by several club managers.

Oh, and then there’s the folly of the draw happening before the play-offs, meaning that the identity of four teams will remain unknown until March 31. WHAT ARE THE CURRENT GROUPS?

After Managua U20 Walter Ferretti have been the most productive home team in the league with a total of 19 goals in 7 games. But they also failed to keep a clean sheet in 6 of the 7 games. The last 5 home games of Walter Ferretti all went over the 3.5 goals.
Dinamo Brest will host Shakhtyor Soligorsk for the Cup. I expect, this will be a very interesting match. Also, I think, this will be a very tense match. I believe, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, I believe, Shakhtyor are more ambitious team. However, they are not convincing team in this new season. In any case, this will not be an easy task on the road. Also, we have Dinamo Brest who's is very average team. However, Dinamo Brest have advantage at home stadium. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result on the home ground. My pick - Dinamo Brest to win.

Lampard excited for Bayern test Frank Lampard has acknowledged that his Chelsea side have drawn one of their toughest potential opponents in Bayern Munich but is looking forward to the challenge.
Perhaps a closer comparison would be one with Eibar and Ipurua. They too are a tiny club which has used the rainy northern climes to foster one of the fiercest home atmospheres in all of Spanish football. There are even similarities in the architecture of Anduva and Ipurua. Expect the tiny community stadium to be bouncing when La Real visit.

Beitar Tel Aviv Ramla will host Hapoel Bnei Lod for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this match. Beitar have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts have a more offensive team. They have an effective attack. True, Beitar is very unpredictable team in recent times. They have big fluctuations. On the other hand Hapoel Bnei Lod is one of the teams of relegation group. The visitors have a very vulnerable defense. Of course, they have a very difficult task in this campaign. In any case, they have nothing to lose. I expect, the visitors will try to move aggressively. My pick - Hapoel Bnei Lod to win.
If Woodward can’t even recognise the potential usefulness of buying a shiny new distraction for supporters at the moment then all sense really has departed the club. IN OTHER NEWS “I cannot take credit for Ronaldo’s current form, you can only give credit to his mother for creating such a specimen!” Maurizio Sarri on Cristiano Ronaldo.
The hosts should be able to break through any resistance from Preston. Leeds' Patrick Bamford has netted six goals in his last eight league games, after failing to score in each of his previous 10 in the competition. We see them making the breakthrough, while they should hold out against the goal-shy visitors. With Leeds winning to nil in 55% of their home games, we’re backing them to do it again.
All I can promise is that everything we do in the weeks to come will be designed to ensure our club is in as strong a position as it has been possible to secure when football resumes. Jenkins said the Championship club have "considered" furloughing non-playing staff and at this stage it was "not required to sanction this action", but the decision "may have to be changed" if football remains suspended for a longer period.
Chievo vs Venezia and this game we have seen that we are going to give it a double chance to win the home team r a draw in the final scores as this prediction has being based on the last games that this two teams have played together as the home team have won many games as compared to the away team and so it makes us to be very sure with this prediction and also the home team have a very strong defense and with this defense we can say that the away team will not be able to win this game

Taoyuan International will host Taipei Bear for the Mulan Football League Women. In my opinion, the visitors have better team than their opponent. Taipei Bear are more ambitious team in this new campaign. Taipei Bear are currently on the 1st position with 7 points. I think, the visitors will try to get the victory on the opposite stadium. In any case, they will try to remain unbeaten. Also, we have Taoyuan W who's is very average team in this league. I think, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. However, this will not be an easy job. Maybe this is - draw.
Rangers head into the match as the clear form favourites, unbeaten in their last nine matches and winning their last six in all competitions, but Feyenoord’s form has improved of late and the hosts haven’t lost any of their last four games which include two wins and two draws.

We see that with the lack of black people at board level in UK governing bodies, it's embarrassing. You need change because unless you get people of colour in positions of power who can say 'that's not right', being there to speak and let their voices be heard, then how is it going to change?"When you see Wes Morgan and Troy Deeney with the captains and everybody, they've been so vocal - Kevin de Bruyne, Jordan Henderson have been so vocal in their support towards these guys because they know it's right.

The Women's Champions League, where Arsenal and Glasgow City have already reached the last eight, will be held in Bilbao and San Sebastian at the end of August.
Greuther Furth is a strong middle peasant league, which has virtually no tournament motivation. After recent meetings with Arminia (2: 4), Vechen (1: 1), Stuttgart (2: 0), Holstein (1: 1) and Hamburg (2: 2) Trefoils found themselves on the seventh line of the tournament table.

Borna Barisic will be assessed ahead of kick off at De Kuip after the Croatia left-back picked up a couple of knocks during Sunday's win over Hamilton Academical. What they saidFeyenoord head coach Dick Advocaat: "Rangers are a strong team, with international players in almost every position. With a manager like Steven Gerrard, he was a very famous player and has a big network, he is maybe able to bring in that extra player which they would maybe not have done in the past.
Jong AZ and Graafschap will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eerste Divisie. Jong AZ this season have the following results: 3W, 4D and 8L. Meanwhile Graafschap have 9W, 6D and 0L.

A grown man should not go on the floor for that push but he wanted the maximum amount of punishment to be given to Di Canio. Come on man. I was at West Ham with him and he would get away with murder. If any decisions went against him in training, he would just walk off. He would be speaking in Italian and his arms would be waving all over the place. He was so intent on winning even the five-a-side games.
Subs: Llorente 5, Elmas n/a, Younes n/a. KEY MOMENTS 21' - GOAL FOR NAPOLI! Mertens hammers it into the bottom corner from a tight angle after beating the off-side trap. GOOD SAVE: Milner jinks past three players into the box and his drive at the near post is parried. OFF THE LINE!

There were loud chants of "we want Glazers out" and also aiming their frustration at executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who was sitting in his seat up behind the dugout and the man who deals with transfer negotiations. The chants spread to other parts of the ground and the singing continued for around 20 minutes in the second half. Ashley Young has agreed a deal to join Inter Milan but that could be brought forward to this transfer window, while it's not certain any players are coming in.
In that regard, it was the second-worst Saturday in Premier League history. The only Saturday afternoon to feature at least five games and witness fewer goals at the traditional 15:00 GMT time slot was on 24 November 2001, when three goals were scored in six games, three of which ended goalless. Only Newcastle, Southampton and Tottenham scored during the six games to kick off at 15:00 GMT on 24 November 2001It wasn't through a lack of trying, though, as Saturday was an incredibly wasteful day in the Premier League.
It is fair to say that Crewe Alexandra will be pretty happy with how things have started in 2020, as, although they went out in the third round of the FA Cup, they competed with Championship opposition and gave them plenty to think about. In the league, they suffered defeat at the home of the league leaders last time out, but they were once again competitive and may have got the result on a different day.
It takes the pressure off the Seagulls a bit at the bottom of the table now they have a five-point cushion above the bottom three, but I cannot see them upsetting Leicester. Lawro's prediction: 2-0Aitch's prediction: 3-0 Tottenham v West Ham (18:00 BST)You have to fancy Tottenham here. Their draw with Manchester United on Friday night was one of the few games over the weekend that had some of the usual intensity you see in the Premier League.
