Pep Guardiola has the chance to shuffle his pack against Dinamo Zagreb with the weekend's trip to Arsenal in mind, though the eccentric Catalonian manager generally likes to avoid making wholesale changes to his starting XI.
Mikel Arteta says he cannot "copy and paste" Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's philosophy at Arsenal. Arteta was Guardiola's assistant at City for three years before replacing Unai Emery as Arsenal boss in December. Arsenal face City in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, with Arteta taking on Guardiola for the first time as Gunners boss. It is a completely different context with the situations at City and Arsenal," said Arteta.
They were relegated on Sunday along with CSA, Chapecoense and Avai. Flamengo won the league by 16 points, although they lost 4-0 on Sunday to Santos, a surprise result that was their first defeat in 30 games stretching back to early August.

The minute he started training with us it was clear he could play at this level and I always had the feeling that the minute you put him in, he's just going to get better very quickly because of his quality, because of his game intelligence because of his worth ethic, because he'll put his foot in," he told the BBC.

Bottom-placed Paderborn are set to face a visit from Bayer Leverkusen this Sunday in German Bundesliga action. Paderborn will hope to secure a result here to continue their fight against relegation. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen will similarly hope to earn three points here to continue their push for a European qualification spot.
Debrecen is in huge problems right now, and they must not aloud to lose this game cause they are already in relegation zone and if they lose from direct opponent they might relegate and they are definitely not in good shape and in last round they somehow managed to play draw versus worst team in the league kaposvar at home 1-1 so now they are on the pressure to win but ujpest just beat honved at home and they have a lot of confidence,Debrecen is in my opinion better team and they should not lost, but I M not sure if they could win this game
I really believe in plenty of goals in this match from Dutch second league and I will bet on that option here. So, Go Ahead Eagles is interesting team who is in this moment in very good form, because they are won in last three matches in league, even they are played as a guests. In those duels, this interesting team is won 3-0, 5-2 and 2-1, so it is natural to believe in goals and this time. Almere City is also won in last three matches, 2-0, 3-2 and 3-0. Over 3 is ideal bet for this duel, really is.
Soccer is one of many international sports events that have been hit by the coronavirus. Matches in the AFC Champions League, the premier club competition in the continent, and the AFC Cup as well as women's Olympic qualifying play-off games have already been postponed with the emergence of the virus in the member nations.
From 8 June, La Liga will be back. Spanish football has a huge following but it will not be the only recreational activity that will return. The Spanish second division is also set to resume at the same time as the top flight, with reports in Spain suggesting the derby between Sevilla and Real Betis will be the first La Liga game to take place. We are very pleased with the decision," said Tebas. It is the result of the great work of clubs, players, coaches, CSD (National Sports Council) and agents.
Roma are inside the top four as 2020 kicks off, but can they stay here until May? The hosts are desperate to secure a return to the Champions League, having missed out this season. This could be a promising year for the hosts, who are competing across three fronts. A return to the top four is their main aim, but the backdoor route of the Europa League is open.
Players should follow the news, it adds, but not too much. Avoid reading everything on COVID-19 in the news or on social media because this can unnecessarily amplify stress or worry," it says. Some national players' unions, meanwhile, have set up hotlines to help their members. Baer-Hoffman said women players might struggle more as their living conditions were often inferior to those of male players.
Preston North End, despite their home-field advantage, has nothing to guarantee for them to win against the guests. 15 times compared to the previous match, the two sides won 5, drew 5, and lost 5, the number of talents balanced. The problem is that the current performance between the two teams is very different, Preston North End did not win in the last 4 rounds (draw 1, lose 3) and are playing somewhat down at the right sprint stage. Meanwhile, Cardiff knows how to take advantage of the opponent's mistakes and earn 7 points in the last 3 rounds, thereby approaching Preston and 7th place in the rankings. Because of that, it is the homeowners who are worried about this match, even if they do not revive their spirits soon, the ability to retain even 1 point is very difficult for Preston North End.
In terms of a correct score tip, we do not think there should be too much between the two sides but ultimately the hosts should prove to be too strong and should come out on top. They may only average 0.85 goals per game at home, but as already established, we expect there to be goals. Given that the last three Salford defeats have all come by a single goal margin and they concede an average of 1.54 goals per game on the road, backing a 2-1 home win is where we are putting our confidence.
A major problem for Stuttgart this season has been their away form. Winning at Dresden at the weekend was a big result for them just days after that 3-2 win over Hamburg. Now they return home in the second automatic promotion spot with a two point lead over Hamburg and five behind the league leaders but from a game more.
Nice will play a game today that they should win because their opponent is a very poor Brest team. At home, Nice scored goals in almost every game, so this is a great psychological advantage for them. Their form is not the best. However, they are still candidates for the top 4 teams. Maybe they'll even play in the Champions League.
As play started from the time it had stopped - 77 minutes - neither side tried to play any football. Players from the opposing teams flicked the ball to each other and spoke to each other and the referee in the middle third of the pitch - including both goalkeepers. The referee did not add on any injury time before blowing the final whistle. The game looked to be noteworthy for a different reason before the late drama because, if the result stands, it will be Hoffenheim's biggest home defeat in the Bundesliga.

Read the full story Video - Inter move for Man Utd wonderkid gathers pace – Euro Papers00:57 Arsenal eye ex-United star for cut-price deal Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is eyeing up a deal for former Manchester United versatile defender Daley Blind this summer, according to the Sun. The 29-year-old was an integral part of the Ajax team that was seconds away from the Champions League final last season, but a potential mass exodus in Amsterdam this summer could see Blind return to the Premier League.
In the betting, 'Napoli Win to Nil' appeals. Defensively, Napoli have been strong in Group E, especially at this venue, where they shut out Liverpool's fierce attack. In addition, they also shut Genk out, giving away just one on target in the process, in the reverse fixture. We've seen that they've got the attacking quality to do the business against Genk's dodgy back-line, but given that they must win, they're unlikely to do anything stupid defensively.
He did not use power but was calm and placed the ball where he wanted it. If you look at your goals now in the Brann - Molde game. You are so calm when you strike the ball, I mean, you was just 17 years old at that time. Where do you have that skill from? Have you learned a lot from Ole Gunnar?” Haaland replied “I forgot to tell you this, but before that game, Solskjaer and I did some practice on finishing.
But obviously the year when we won the Premier League is hard to top. That whole season is my favourite memory. Leicester are flying high in the table again and winning plenty of plaudits but Serge is not convinced by claims that their current side is a better team than the title-winners. He explained: "Is this team better? It is close. You know what? Talent-wise, it probably is a little better but what we had in 2016 was spirit and whatever that magic combination was.
Forlan's 116th-minute strike in the final skewed off Hangeland and squirmed beyond Schwarzer's despairing dive "We were so unlucky," Schwarzer remembers. Both goals involved heavy deflections - but I think after the disappointment people realised we had done something special. We had a fantastic manager, but we also had the right group of players with the right mentality and approach. I'm not saying everyone was best of friends but we had an incredibly good working relationship on and off the pitch.

Reading have not been getting many positive results of late. However, despite Cardiff being unbeaten in seven matches, they have no fear of the Bluebirds. Striker Yakou Meite clearly enjoys playing against them. With his habit of finding the back of the net in this fixture in mind, we suggest backing Reading draw no bet.
These two are no strangers to the relegation battle. Late bursts of form have guided SPAL away from the bottom three in their last two campaigns. Meanwhile, Genoa stayed up on the final day of last season, having shown relegation form in each of the last four campaigns. There are huge problems for the club to fix, but they continually get dragged into a fight for survival.
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.
We walked into the trap' - what they said Kevin Friend went across to the referee review area to see a replay before sending Emiliano Buendia offNorwich boss Daniel Farke speaking to Sky Sports: "Burnley reacted in their expected ways. They are such an experienced and established Premier League team. They realised they had problems and needed to disrupt the rhythm and provoke. We walked into the trap and two red cards.
This season has been incredible for Cagliari so far, with the Sardinian side on a roll in their bid to make the top four. After adding talented signings in the summer, the hosts lifted themselves up to fourth in the table. Inspired by Atalanta’s recent achievements, the hosts are dreaming of Champions League football as they head to towards Monday’s meeting with Sampdoria.
Goa is currently the leader of this competition and will try to continue the good results after four consecutive victories. Nevertheless, Bengaluru is a tough team to beat and at home will be very hard for Goa to be able to get the win here. Looking at the market on this contest, the price for Bengaluru has dropped almost 10% since the opening odds on the 1x2 market. For that reason, we will follow the trend here and back Bengaluru on the 1x2 market to get the win at home on this match here against Goa that will take place this Friday.
We fancy Eibar to score based on the fact they have netted in two of their last three away and Valencia have conceded in all but one of their last 11 La Liga outings, but it should be nothing more than scant consolation with Los Che tipped for an easy 3-1 success.
In the first game at Costa Rica, it was 2:2 and Montreal was not better team in any part of the game. They were even lucky to make their way, with one point and draw from the visiting ground, and should not have an easy task here in Canada for the second game.
Others say they feel pressured into agreeing to play by politicians and league bosses when they would prefer the season to be abandoned. Matches at original venues 'present challenges' to emergency servicesLa Liga plans training return as soon as possiblePrivately, the mood within both the Premier League and in Whitehall suggests cautious optimism remains. And there are some reasons for positivity too.
That's all changed now, Liverpool aren't winning at Anfield and Manchester City are on a long unbeaten run with one win after another. After a 69 game unbeaten home league run, Liverpool have now gone four at Anfield without a win, no goals in the last three and successive defeats to mighty Burnley and Brighton.
Mason Mount won the U18 Premier League title with Chelsea, as well as two FA Youth CupsWith several senior players having made themselves available, Adi Viveash's under-23 side was unusually stacked with experienced first-teamers, from John Terry to Michy Batshuayi, Cesc Fabregas to Kurt Zouma. This meant Viveash was only able to select a handful of his own players for the match, but he had no hesitation in starting Mount.
We would like to and must apologise for this mistake at this point. We would like to make up for what happened and are already trying to contact the persons concerned and invite them to the next home game. Germany has reported 150 cases of the disease. Leipzig did not give further details of the incident, however the DPA news agency said a group of around 20 Japanese visitors were told to leave about 10 minutes after kickoff.

Scottish FA medical advice recommends around six weeks of pre-season before matches can take place, so an early August restart is not out of the question. The League Cup's scheduled mid-July start already looks doomed, however. A scrapping of the competition's group stage may be a potential solution to buy some time. Will matches be behind closed doors?Most likely, at first. But that presents problems as matchday revenue is king in Scottish football.
After the game, Lampard said the incident represented Just "another huge question mark" for VAR which was introduced to the Premier League this season. I was just waiting for the red card to be shown," he said. It's just not good enough. Saying afterwards they made a mistake is not good enough. They had.
With a record of one win, four draws and four defeats since the end of October, Sergio's men cannot be fancied for victory this weekend against an Osasuna side who have lost just twice in nine matches at home. Furthermore, the visitors' away record this season reads extremely poorly, with two wins, three draws and five defeats suffered from ten.
This game we have given it an under of 4.5 total goals as looking at the past games of this two teams they are very used of scoring an under of 4.5 total goals and so this game we can say the trend will continue as the home team ha e a very good defense as so as the away team and so with this we can say that that they will not let each other to score many goals
The hosts have top quality foreign players in their side seeing that the team is not performing all that well in the league they even brought Dzsudzsak the Hungarian international playmaker from Ittihad Kalba and him alongside especially with very strong striker Laba and very technical striker Caio who was a top scorer at Al Wasl before joining Al Ain last season, they are a formidable trio up-front and they do have several other good goalscorers in the side as well.
Wigan is one of the teams, which would fight relegation and which is at the relegation zone since the begin of the league. They did have some better games, and at least avoid some losing games with few draws in the previous period, but team is still near the bottom and one of the weakest in the competition.
In Belarus, Bate and Dinamo Brest are expected to meet for a Belarusian Cup match. Bate have won in the last 6 matches with 2 or more goals. They have been shining in all competitions despite the poor start of the season. They take the first position in the Premier League, and have a great opportunity of winning this Belarusian Cup.
