Arsenal are on a poor run of results with only 1 win in the last 13 games and in this game new coach Arteta will begin his job for Arsenal. Although Arsenal has looked poor, they are undefeated in the last 4 away games scoring 7 goals.
We want to take prudent and appropriate steps to help protect and support the FA and our employees during this unpredictable time. Meanwhile, West Ham boss David Moyes has told the Premier League club he is willing to a take a pay cut due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Bournemouth's Eddie Howe and Brighton's Graham Potter have already volunteered for a cut in salary as clubs try to find a way of limiting their losses amid games being suspended.
Chelsea are fourth in the table, while City are in second place behind Liverpool. Manchester City know that they won't catch Liverpool, so this is far more important for Chelsea. The Blues are five points clear of Manchester United in fifth but that gap could close if United can avoid defeat against Sheffield United.
Irish Minister of Sport Ross labels troubled FAI a 'basket case'Since returning to the Republic of Ireland in 2012, Quinn has chaired a 'Football in Ireland Visionary Group' which has outlined a new direction for the game in the country, including a revamped League of Ireland. It has been widely reported that the former Arsenal, Manchester City and Sunderland forward has no interest in becoming FAI chief executive.
The tennis season was halted in early March due to the pandemic, leaving players in the lower tiers who solely depend on tournament winnings without the opportunity to earn a living. In a letter posted on Twitter and addressed to the tennis community, Mouratoglou said the current situation showed how "dysfunctional" the sport was.
The American, his wife Madison and their daughter Hunter celebrate together and it's a really sweet moment for the family. View it for yourself:View more on twitterAnd possibly the saddest gender reveal ever goes to. Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward, whose reaction was not quite as excited as you'd expect. The then father-of-two-girls was tasked with opening a cardboard box filled with balloons to reveal the sex of his and his wife's unborn third child.
Bahia, Athletico Paranaense and Sao Paulo are among the clubs who made the offer on Thursday. We are putting our training centres at the disposition of the government to receive patients with Covid-19, for as long as they need," Bahia said on twitter. The club said it had three pavilions with 28 rooms at their Fazendao training centre and that authorities would soon transport patients there.
Bayer Leverkusen will be hoping to pick up back to back wins in the champions league this week, as they lock horns with a Lokomotiv Moscow side. Their only recent meeting was the reverse fixture of this clash which Lokomotiv won 2-1.
I know I'm letting them down every week I don't pick them but that's what I'm paid to do, I'm paid to get results and I'm paid to get the team to perform. The three points against Brighton means United sit fifth in the table and Stoney is confident her team can achieve their goals in their first Women's Super League season.
Schalke currently sit three places behind Marco Rose's title-challenging Monchengladbach. However, David Wagner's side impressed during the first half of the 2019/20 campaign. They trail Monchengladbach by just five points going into Friday's game.

Jannik Vestergaard hit the ball from all of 30 yards and it went like a rocket, picking up speed all the way. How Ryan got his hand to the ball I don't know but he managed to push the ball on to the crossbar. Brighton have clawed their way out of the relegation zone and into relative safety. Their brand of football might be more attractive but the anxiety is still the same. Did you know? The Australian made four saves and attempted 32 passes, a figure only two players could better (Dale Stephens 34, Dan Burn 33).
Kapfenberger SV will host SV Horn II for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be tough match for both sides. Perhaps, the visitors are favorites in this match. In any case, I think, this will not be an easy task. Horn is not very good team in this campaign. Also, they have only 1 victory in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Kapfenberger who's is worst team in the league. Yeah, the hosts have fallen into a very poor show. In any case, they have nothing to lose. I expect, the hosts will try to provide a strong resistance. My pick - Kapfenberger to win.
Mikel Arteta has been appointed Arsenal's new manager and, while he may appear something of a novice to many, those who know him well say it is a moment he started preparing for more than 20 years ago. Even in his early playing days at Barcelona's academy, in 1997, he was showing the kind of leadership skills which made him a distinctive figure. He has left his mark everywhere he has been since then, not merely as a player but also as a major influence on the team, both on and off the pitch.
The Crocodiles have now conceded the second most goals in Ligue 1 (28) while also scoring the second least, hitting the back of the net on twelve occasions. Just two of those goals have come in their last six matches and with four losses in this time, it's hard to see how they get out of this as the challenge of Nantes will be another tough one. Many teams have relied on their home form to get points on the board this season but Nîmes haven't been able to copy that as they have picked up the least points of all Ligue 1 teams at their home stadium where they are winless in their last four.
It might make more sense for Real to view Haaland as a long-term target, with a view to realistically signing him in 2021 instead. Benzema still has a couple of more years in him, so it would make sense for both clubs to postpone any potential deal until next year. Maybe Jovic could be used as a pawn in the deal as his sensational form which led to his Madrid move was in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt.
I also want to congratulate Manchester City and Arsenal on wonderful seasons. The title race was shaping up to be one of the best this country has ever witnessed and we look forward to competing again when the WSL resumes. The realisation of a dream'Kelly Simmons, FA director of the women's professional game, said: "I would like to thank the clubs for their ongoing collaboration and support throughout this period.

We've got some horrible infighting between our own supporters. Some are called scabs. I have seen it break families apart. Dave Eyles is talking about League One Coventry City's groundshare 22 miles away at Championship club Birmingham City. It is a topic which has fractured the Sky Blues fanbase since they left the Ricoh Arena last summer. On Saturday, thanks to the FA Cup fourth-round draw, tenants Coventry are 'home' to landlords Birmingham at St Andrew's.
We can't come to a place like here, score three goals and lose 4-3," he lamented. We can't do that. When Newcastle travelled to the City Ground for the penultimate fixture of the season, their lead having been extinguished, Ferguson got his wish. Nottingham Forest, of course, offered no preferential treatment, earning a 1-1 draw which meant United would be champions if they could avoid defeat against Middlesbrough on the final day.
Serie A resumes this weekend with Juventus' bid for a ninth successive title under threat. The Old Lady are top of the table with 63 points but just one point behind are Lazio, setting up what promises to be one of the closest title battles remaining in Europe. Why have Lazio been so strong this season? And which side was in form before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to the campaign? BBC Sport takes a look.

The fans don't deserve this, the club doesn't deserve this. Despite fielding a strong side containing Spain international Saul and club-record signing Joao Felix, Atleti could not see off the minnows in 90 minutes as Julen Castaneda cancelled out Angel Correa's opener to force extra time. The lowly hosts overpowered the Champions League side in the extra period and a strike from Sergio Benito condemned Atletico to their earliest exit from the Copa since losing to Albacete in 2011, before Diego Simeone took charge of the club.

The visitors have improved of late, getting some good result against teams lower down the table, but their overall efforts against the better team in the division do not bode well. In the betting, 'Girona to Win & Over 1.5 Goals' stands out as a viable option. Not only did Girona notch three times on route to a relatively comfortable victory in the reverse of this fixture, but they've generally been solid at home. Add in that Extremadura have found it tough to go up against the better teams, losing six out of six against the current top six, conceding two or more in each of their away games against such opposition, and backing the hosts to come out on top becomes hard to avoid.
On top of that, we’re backing a 2-1 home victory for the Blues. The hosts have conceded in their last 12 in the Championship – including each of their last six at home – so we expect them to slip up. Wigan have lost by a single goal in 67% of their away defeats so far, so we are going with a 2-1 victory for the home side in this one.
Atletico Madrid have been as solid and reliable as ever so far this season with just one defeat suffered from 13 league outings, but a tally of six draws means that Los Rojiblancos are still playing catch-up with likely title rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid who are both a point clear with a game in hand.
There had to be a response from the champions - and there was. Just as in the first half, Jullien headed on goal and just as in the first half, Davis was there to kick it to safety. Boli Bolingoli fired on McGregor soon after but the goalkeeper pulled off another big save. Rangers saw it out from there. It got a bit sweaty for them at times as Celtic piled forward but the win was deserved. Of course there had to be sensation at the end - and there was.
Athletic Club 2-2 Valencia (Oct 29, 2023) Final Score Game summary of the Athletic Club vs. Valencia Spanish Laliga game, final score 2-2, from October 29, 2023 on ESPN.
The away team have actually played some better football in recent matches they used to have a lot of high scoring games but recently it has looked to be lower. They had some good results with draws and wins, they have showed to really focus more on defending. This could also happen again in this match because they are playing away, this should even be a bigger reason about why they will look to defend. The home team have also not been a big for shots on target and this could even lower their goals if they can manage to score.
Kane to pick Juventus move over Manchester United and Manchester City Harry Kane is set to leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window in order to win trophies and Juventus, Manchester United and Manchester City are all interested in the England captain. He is the Italian champions' top target and they are prepared to spend up to £200m on him but if he decides against a switch to Turin, Maurizio Sarri will instead move for Gabriel Jesus.
The special nature of if was only heightened when Eintracht exploded out of the blocks. Meier hit the crossbar inside a minute. Kress and Pfaff forced saves out of Rogelio Dominguez soon after. Then Kress scored. Hampden, willing on the underdogs, erupted in acclamation. They were to do a lot of that on the night. Once Real settled, the full majesty of the team unfolded and it was Di Stefano, as ever, who orchestrated it.
Today team Dinamo Minsk will host team Torpedo BelAZ. Hosts are the most famous team in Belarus. But hosts did 5 defeats at last 5 matches played. It is very necessary to get some points here for them !
Some of the players see such furloughing of staff as a way of putting pressure on them. Gordon Taylor, PFAGetty Images On the other side, there is frustration with the PFA from some clubs.

But prior to this they have continued to show up at Anfield in vast numbers, season upon season. The difficulty in obtaining season-ticket numbers at the club means gauging an accurate tally of fans to have visited the ground since that celebration at the end of 1989-90 is impossible. But according to figures from Transfermarkt, the number of visits by supporters to Anfield over the past 30 years is 24,698,942.

Spain is the second worst-affected country by the virus in Europe behind Italy and is in the fourth week of a state of emergency. All professional soccer has been indefinitely postponed and players forced to train at home.
