the home team have been in good form winning their home matches they have even been hard to score against. They have seen only 1 team score here against them in their past 5 home matches, they do not allow many home teams to get many shots on target against them either. It would be all about defending for the home team this is how they like to play and this will be a chance for them to probably go on and win another home match to nil. It is their main focus at home now and they have been working towards it
Fine, flowing football once more. MISS! Great centre from Alexander-Arnold, Firmino is there, four yards out, with an open goal at his mercy, but cannot connect. The loose ball falls for Salah, who shoots early, but Henderson makes a fine stop. KEY STATS Liverpool scored in their 29th consecutive game in the Premier League; only two teams have ever recorded a longer scoring streak in the competition - Arsenal between 2001 and 2002 (55) and Manchester United between 2007 and 2008 (36).
United will have Fred and Nemanja Matic available for the FA Cup tie against Wolves at Molineux. There had been talk about Matic leaving Old Trafford during the current transfer window but Solskjaer has ruled that out and it is understood midfield is one of the areas the club are trying to strengthen. Their problem is that while players in that position are available - former Liverpool player Emre Can is surplus to requirements at Juventus - the club do not want to get bounced into either paying too much for a player they do want or signing someone as a short-term measure, even if the consequence is continued on-field inconsistency.
Paper Round's view: Pedro would be a great signing for Aston Villa. He might be 32 years old, but he still has so much to offer. The former Barcelona forward is the type of player who will always chip in with a decent number of goals and is always looking to create attacking opportunities. Villa are lurking around the relegation zone at the moment and will definitely need to try and strengthen their squad in January if they want to consolidate their status as a Premier League club next season.

I want to create a real pan-African league that would feature 20-24 clubs with a maximum of maybe two clubs per country that would still play in their national leagues but that would play during the year so we can really crown the club champions of Africa," he said. FIFA said in a statement that the permanent member clubs would be urged to provide an investment of $20 million annually over five years and would also have to meet other participation criteria such as investment in youth and women's football.
Harry Wilson hit a weak shot towards McCarthy, with Steve Cook then heading straight at the keeper before Harry Wilson was so close to rescuing a point in injury time. Surridge thought he had his first Premier League goal late on but Callum Wilson was rightly judged to be offside before the substitute pounced by VAR. The Cherries have been toothless this season and their fight was too little, too late on Sunday.

I am excited for the opportunity to continue my relationship with AEG while supporting one of the most interesting and influential clubs in Sweden. AEG president Dan Beckerman added: "Hammarby is one of the most historic clubs in Swedish football and we believe that adding Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the world's most respected and experienced players, will create additional opportunities for the club.
This will be one of the most interesting duels in this round in Bundesliga and I will just here bet on goals, and enjoy in fantastic match. Leverkusen is pretty good this season and this team is have goal to play in Champions League, again, next season. On the other side, Borussia Dortmund is have even better team and they are hope that they can attack even the title in this country. What will happen, we will see, but I in any case believe here in at least four goals. Dortmund is in meantime lost in Cup against Werder 3-2.
Rashford (top left) lining up for Manchester United Under-18s in 2015How difficult is it to break through at a club like this? It can be very tough. We are privileged to go to lots of tournaments in places like Spain or Italy. I tried to take little bits from everywhere I went. I used to think 'even if you are not as good as some of the players you are playing against, it is a completely different culture'.
If City win the Champions League this season, Guardiola could go anyway. Now it is impossible to imagine him staying and, amid persistent rumours of interest from Juventus and the almost certain knowledge any number of alternative challenges will present themselves, Guardiola's City future would seem to hinge on whether the club are successful in their appeal. What about the players? Sergio Aguero became Manchester City's all-time highest goal-scorer in November 2017We already know veteran midfielder David Silva will be leaving at the end of the season.
As yet, there is no confirmation from UEFA on new dates for the Champions League and Europa League finals but reports state that they will be played on June 27 and June 24 respectively. The virus has infected almost 180,000 people and killed more than 7,000 worldwide. The European championship is usually held in one or two host nations, but was spread around the continent this time in what organisers said was a romantic one-off event.

Mbappe and Icardi were the brightest duo with four goals and three assists between them as PSG demolished 10-man St Etienne 6-1 in the League Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, sending a warning to Monaco, whom they will host at the Parc des Princes on Sunday as Ligue 1 action resumes after a three-week break.
I think it took a few gin and tonics and Zoom calls to organise," Timms jokes. But it's amazing to know how big a net we have with visible LGBT people and allies. That shows where we're getting to in football. As Timms knows, it has not always been that way. LGBT Sport podcast: The One on Football Pride As a gay football fan in the 1970s, Darryl Telles remembers how different things used to be. I was at a Nottingham Forest game when fans were homophobically singing about Brian Clough and Peter Taylor having an affair," he says.
It would be the perfect tribute to acknowledge two outstanding professionals in a season that has been about far more than just football. Liverpool were the first team to take the knee, while Milner and Henderson were the architects behind the Premier League players making a significant donation to the NHS and key worker charities. These things do not happen in football by accident; it takes a special kind of leadership and that is precisely what Jurgen Klopp has given his players and brought to Liverpool.

View more on twitterMost embarrassing moment - Foxes' thumping of Saints Losing 9-0 in five-a-side is bad enough, so to lose at home by that scoreline in a Premier League match is, well, off-the-scale levels of embarrassment.
Bologna grabbed only 1 point out of the last 3 league games before the league was postponed and at home they have struggled all season with only a 4-5-4 record so far. They also have a poor recent record against Juventus with all of the last 8 meetings ending in a defeat.
Nottingham Forest moved to the verge of the playoffs with their Boxing Day success at Hull. The hosts returned from back-to-back defeats by winning at the KCOM, but can they add to that when they host Wigan this week? The home side are aiming to secure a spot in the top six this term, so they need to win clashes like this.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. FRIDAY Sheff Utd v West Ham (20:00 GMT)New West Ham boss David Moyes has two wins out of two so far, but after beating Bournemouth and Gillingham, this is a much bigger test. Sheffield United beat AFC Fylde in the FA Cup last time out but they have lost their past two Premier League games, although they did face Manchester City and Liverpool and were very competitive in both.
What about remaining last-16 games?What is less clear is how the outstanding last-16 matches in both the Champions League and Europa League will be settled. Ideally, Uefa would like these to be played in the same locations as the 'final eight' games to reduce the potential for coronavirus-related postponements. However, many clubs are resistant to this idea as it means giving up home advantage in delicately-placed two-legged ties.
Eight minutes later, Austin won it for Albion when he peeled away at the far post to meet Darnell Furlong's right-wing cross with a textbook header.

Their play-off position would already be confirmed if they hadn't drawn 14 league games. They boosted their play-off chances with a surprise 1-0 win at league champions Benevento. That was the second win in a row for Chievo following a run of two points from the previous four games. Home form had been inconsistent with three wins and three losses.
In my opinion, Elfsborg is clearly the favorite in this game. They started this new season solidly with a win and a draw. Helsingborg, on the other hand, suffered two bad losses at the beginning with a goal difference of zero to seven goals. The hosts from Elfsborg seem to be the big favorite given the desolate table situation of the hosts. The hosts have not been good. With Helsingborg with 2 losses and Elfsborg with 4 points in 2 matches. Today Helsingborg will be the home team, but Elfsborg are a better team, so I think they will win the match in this game without fans.
They will definitely go for Arsenal because they have a soft centre. It was a disappointing result and performance for Arsenal in the Europa League and this game might be too soon to see a big change in performance. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Sonny's prediction: 1-2 Wolves v Sheff Utd (14:00 GMT)Sheffield United have been a breath of fresh air this season and they are great to watch. Wolves, however, have surprised me.
Footballers are global role models, and our staff and players have been working to support the incredible efforts of the National Health Service and other key workers in fighting the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus, in any way we can.

While City celebrated their win, Sheffield had another low to contend with as they suffered their 14th loss in the Championship, falling 3-1 at home to Derby County. It was their third loss in five matches and left the team winless in seven of their last eight matches. Sheffield’s only win in their last eight matches came against struggling Charlton.
We’re confident that a double chance bet on Famailcao will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. The visitors have outperformed their hosts so far this season and head into the game as the form favourites but Boavista have drawn half of their home games which is why we have backed the double chance bet rather than an outright win for the visitors.
The consequences for our industry will potentially turn ugly very quickly, so any co-ordinated action is very, very important. Baer-Hoffmann said that football had continued to grow during the 2008 financial crisis but the omens were not so favourable this time. For the first time in decades, we are facing a real economic crisis in football," he added.
