Thanks for reading and we'll back in the morning with the latest updates. Players launch #PlayersTogether A huge number of Premier League players have announced the lauch of #PlayersTogether, an initiative that claims to be set up to support the NHS and its chariities. FULL STORY 20:30 - Italy gears up for restart As it appears that Italy is gaining control of the coronavirus spread in their country after weeks of lockdown, it appears that the footballing authorities are planning how and when to restart.
In the car to Dortmund's pre-season base in Loubeck, I was thinking that if this doesn't work out I need to go back to Motherwell or back to Scotland. Paul Lambert tackles Andreas Moller in a Uefa Cup tie"I got on the team bus and I must have sat on about five or six seats and every time a player would say, 'You can't sit there'. It was Stefan Klos who said, 'come and sit next to me'. That was my seat on the bus from then on.
And, of course, victory was made even sweeter as it was at the expense of Manchester United, the old foe who famously fulfilled Sir Alex Ferguson's promise to knock Liverpool off their perch. United now trail Liverpool by 30 points and this is not a gap that flatters Klopp's men. The gulf is not only huge between Liverpool and United. In the Premier League context, it is huge between Liverpool and the rest of the Premier League.
Grazer AK will host Austria Lustenau in the Erste Liga of Austria on Saturday. Grazer are currently second last in the table and need full three points to avoid.

Grazer AK Defeated Lustenau in the last three head to head matches. So Lustenau can win this .
Rugani, who is not a regular first team player, has made seven appearances this season, including two in February. He was on the bench for Sunday's game against Inter Milan. A source close to Juventus said the entire squad will have to spend two weeks in quarantine, meaning they would not be able to face Olympique Lyonnais in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie on March 17.
Burton have been in fine scoring form at home of late, notching ten in their last four, though they've only kept one clean sheet during that time, while more than three goals have gone in in three of those four. Both teams have scored in seven of their last nine in front of a home crowd. There's also been no shortage of goal when MK Dons have taken to the pitch of late, as three or more have been scored in four of their last five. Both teams have scored in five of their last seven.

Video - Why Ronaldinho spent his 40th birthday in prison01:00 The judge said he would permit the pair to move into the Palmaroga hotel in Asuncion while they awaited their trial. They will be allowed to receive visits. The two men deposited $800,000 each into a local bank account on Tuesday. It’s a significant bail in cash to guarantee they will not flee," judge Gustavo Amarilla said.
People say. But I still know behind what you are saying to me that that moment was so big. So when Liverpool won the Champions League last season and I was sitting around, looking at the fans, I was thinking they are all happy again and that made me feel better again. The Champions League last year was a healing moment for me.
I clearly deserved the yellow card. I had bad words with the guy," Mourinho told BT Sport, after his side fell six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League table. There was of course a reason for it. I will not tell you but for some reason I had that reaction," he added while speaking to Match of the Day. Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuttl said: "I don't want to say anything. I have a very high opinion about this manager - he did so much for football.
We have to improve and the most important thing is that we won tonight," said the Frenchman. It's a positive to have a strong start in the competition as we know that all the teams will try to defeat us. We have a lot of confidence that we can win the title again. We have a great group of players and an impressive coach who played a vital role in our success.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, who was replaced by Klopp at Anfield, has built a team that has won as many games as Pep Guardiola's City, 12 out of 18. They have lost just three times and in Jamie Vardy they have the league's top scorer with 17 goals. We will try (to stop Vardy). He's a massive striker, an exceptional striker.
Ibrahimovic, who was a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy in November, said he received "more offers at 38 than when I was 20". I've been looking for one final rush of adrenaline to give it my all," he said as he marked his return to the Rossoneri. I received even more calls after the game against Atalanta [which Milan lost 5-0]. I didn't come here to be a Rossoneri mascot.
But now with a game in hand. Liverpool are doing something extraordinary. They have dropped just two points all season. Extend this record back into last season — something the Warm-Up is generally ideologically opposed to, but this seems important — and it’s just ten points dropped since they lost to Manchester City on January 3.
Hosts are in the situation where collection points is more than important. Even more, that to be on home stadium where Cercle Brugge overall is playing better football. Facing vs Gent, way better and quality opponent should be the challenge that could be used to raise-up the motivational level. Gent are playing quiet often recently, visitors should feel tiredness after playing on each 3-4 days in a row. With their abilities, there is no doubt that Gent is able to produce today vs one of the most struggling opponents overall. But still, the force and the power from the side of the team which need points, could allow us to expect some extra scored goals on this match.
The shirt is a replica of PSG's current home strip but has the words 'Tous Unis' (All Together) where the main sponsor logo usually sits and features badges pledging support to doctors. The club confirmed on Twitter they had sold out a batch of 1,500 shirts via their online store on Thursday night, with all the proceeds going to Assistance Publique Hopitaux de Paris.

The half looked destined to end without a goal, until Defoe latched on to a knock-on from Arfield. The striker controlled the ball and, with a crowd of County defenders around him, spun and fired the ball through a sea of bodies. Some might have expected to see Morelos introduced after a drab first half, but the Colombian began the second half on the bench and in his place Defoe continued to trouble the County defence.

Liverpool's 2-0 victory against Watford increased their lead to 10 points at the top of the Premier League table after second-placed Leicester slipped up at home to Norwich. Mohamed Salah's double took his tally to nine league goals and extended the Reds' unbeaten start to the season to 17 games. Leicester fought back from a goal down to salvage a point in a 1-1 draw against Norwich, with a Tim Krul own goal cancelling out Teemu Pukki's opener in the first half.
Liverpool are outright favorites going to this game, not only by their dominance in the season but also by their home record and run against West Ham. They have scored 11 goals in their last five home league matches, averaging two goals per game, while they have not conceded any. West Ham on the other hand, go to this clash on four straight away league losses and having conceded two or more in three of those. They lost 2-0 to Liverpool in the first leg and have not beaten Liverpool in the last seven meetings. Back Liverpool for a 2-0 win here.
Bologna have seen both teams score in each of their last 12 matches in Serie A, while the same has landed in four of Torino’s previous five games. We expect goals here as a result, especially with the pair sharing 22 between their last six meetings. We think that both teams to score is the best bet here, extending Bologna’s recent form.
The Cobblers have not met a Premier League giant yet this time, but they are the lowest ranked side left in the FA Cup and they have still made some decent money out of their run in the competition this season - around £600,000 in total, including a £250,000 bonus for being the last League Two side left - which is massive for them. They are in good form in League Two, especially at home where they have not been beaten since the start of October, and I don't think their adventure is over just yet - Derby will have to take them back to Pride Park to win it.
Posted at 67' Davy Pröpper (Brighton and Hove Albion) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Aston Villa earned a dramatic victory as they scored an injury-time winner to beat Watford and move out of the Premier League relegation zone. Ezri Konsa's shot deflected in off team-mate Tyrone Mings in the 95th minute after Pepe Reina had launched a free-kick into the penalty area in a thrilling finish at Villa Park.

They are paid much less, often around average national income. Minimum wage players exist around the world and, for them, any cuts can have drastic personal consequences in terms of simply paying rent or buying groceries for their families. He added that even within leagues the situation could vary greatly between clubs.
Cushing's fairytale farewell It was the end of an era at Manchester City as Nick Cushing took charge of his final match as manager – and it could not have gone any better. During his six-year reign, City won a WSL title, two Women’s FA Cup's and three League Cup's. And Cushing, who is set to join New York City as assistant manager, leaves the club on top of the table after securing a 2-1 win over title rivals Arsenal.
I knew him a little and we will start a new chapter and he was very positive. Arteta also said midfielder Mesut Ozil was a part of his plans despite Ljungberg's unhappiness over the German's conduct during Arsenal's 3-0 defeat by Manchester City earlier this month. Ozil kicked his gloves in frustration after being withdrawn in the 59th minute and Ljungberg said his unacceptable conduct would have prevented him from being selected at Everton had he been fit for the match.
The exchange came with Serie A, like football around the rest of the world, at a standstill because of the coronavirus pandemic. Italy is Europe's worst-affected country with 10,779 deaths and a total of 97,689 confirmed cases. In an interview with the Rome-based newspaper La Repubblica on Sunday, Spadafora said that sport was not just about football and that he would propose spending 400 million euros ($443 million) to develop grass roots sport around the country.

Soccer has been brought to a standstill by the coronavirus crisis with domestic leagues suspended and international competitions such as Euro 2020 and the Copa America postponed. FIFPRO and its affiliated national unions had already received "a large volume of calls for assistance from professional footballers", the union said on Friday.
Bolivar is one of the most powerful teams in the league, with years. The hosts has quality gap on their side facing vs one of the most struggling opponent as Real Potosi. Hosts domination could be easily expressed here in a way of scoring a lot, Real Potosi has no consistent defensive to stop conceding which is one of their major problems. Also, the road games are problematic once as well. That quality gap in combine with hosts quality and visitors weakness, in a game where Bolivar is complete favorite, expect to see an easy win covered with the selected handicap at the end.
Immelman: November masters presents different challenges Former Masters champion Trevor Immelman believes the famous Augusta Court would present a different set of challenges should the event be played in a mooted rescheduled slot in November. If you look at the golf course in a bubble, I think the course itself won't play all that differently.
Aston Villa or Bournemouth might not get the home advantage they had banked on in some of their key fixtures, or Spurs might now have some of their injured players back.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on Woking will payout this weekend and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1. Woking sit above Maidenhead in the National League table and have a good away record this season, while their host have struggled in their own backyard with just two wins from ten home games. We’re backing a 2-1 win for Woking and believe that a draw is the best Maidenhead can hope for this weekend which is why we have gone with a double chance bet on the visitors.
That is some interest for a lad whose name his manager couldn't even remember not so long ago. Morning! "We are staying up," they chanted at the London Stadium last night - except it was the away side Arsenal whose fans were singing it. Yes the Gunners are back, and so is their sense of humour. It wasn't all plain sailing though and there were boos at half-time from the away end when they trailed 1-0 to West Ham - only for three second-half goals to turn the result on its head.
There are four groups France, Poland, Switzerland and Croatia could be placed in - and five possibilities for third seeds Portugal, Turkey, Austria, Sweden and the Czech Republic. Then Wales and Finland will be in Group A or B. The draw starts with teams from Pot 1 (ie the top seeds) - although we already know which group each of them will be placed in. To determine the position of the team in the group - eg A1, A2, A3 or A4 - a ball is drawn from a bowl.
Pukki's superb pass set up Drmic in the first half but the Swiss international looked rusty throughout and he needed a touch too many to get the ball out from under his feet, wasting the opportunity. It was met with a faded roar from the new television-enhanced crowd noise - something that became a common theme in the first half as the hosts probed but ultimately failed to create many clear-cut chances.

The hosts, 16th in the table, are only above the relegation zone thanks to their superior goal difference. The visitors, sixth in the table, remain two points behind Manchester United in the battle for Champions League football. Every point will count at the business end of the season and each team will be fighting tooth and nail to add to their total.
Pogba's injury restricted him to eight appearances so far this season, but he was primed to return before professional football in England was suspended because of the COVID-19 outbreak. I've been frustrated, a long time ago. Now I'm almost there, so I'm just thinking about getting back and training fully with the team and everything," the 27-year-old said in an official club podcast.

But that’s what some reports suggest, that with a few days remaining of this transfer window United have decided to stand pat, that they’re absolutely cool with this hodge-podge of a fourth round League Cup squad that sold its only centre-forward in the summer, didn’t replace him and have subsequently mysteriously seen their remaining most potent attacking talent go down with a stress fracture to his back.
The Whites are now eight points clear of third-placed Fulham, who face Preston North End at 15:00 GMT, and one point behind leaders West Bromwich Albion before their game against Wigan Athletic. Head coach Marcelo Bielsa handed a first league start to 19-year-old Illan Meslier with first-choice goalkeeper Kiko Casilla beginning an eight-match ban for racial abuse, but the on-loan shot stopper was seldom troubled as the dominant visitors kept a fourth straight clean sheet.
